Chapter 127: The First Rehearsal
This Thursday night, finally before the weekend, Liu Yan, Li Xiaoru and Wen Fangfei performed "Liang Zhu" together for the first time.
There was no way to move the piano, so Wen Fangfei carried her guzheng from the piano room of the guzheng department to the piano room of the piano department, you must know that a guzheng weighs fifty or sixty pounds, and it is as long as the average height of a woman, which is a big object.
The two colleges are more than 1 kilometer apart, which is equivalent to Wen Fangfei carrying a weight of about 25 kilograms and walking around the playground of the 400-meter track for 3 or 4 laps, and when she arrived at the piano room of the piano department, her back was drenched with sweat.
Liu Yan and Li Xiaoru were really grateful to Wen Fangfei, and they felt sorry for her, "After the practice is over, we will take turns to help you carry it back." ”
Wen Fangfei said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if I'm alone, I've been used to the guzheng since I was a child, I don't feel heavy, and I can also use it as a gym, saving money for going to the gym." ”
She took out a stack of music scores from her satchel at any time and handed them to Liu Yan and Li Xiaoru, "This is my corrected guzheng score, do you want to take a look?"
Li Xiaoru said, "No need, we don't know the guzheng score, we all believe in you, you just think it's okay." ”
Liu Yan also nodded, although she could understand it, she didn't want to point fingers at Wen Fangfei's labor.
"Okay, let's go through it first, and then modify it according to the problems encountered during the performance," Wen Fangfei said.
The three of them sat down in front of their respective instruments.
They have already divided the labor, according to the division of voices, Wen Fangfei's guzheng started, and then Li Xiaoru's piano played the main melody, four bars later, Liu Yan's piano joined in, playing the deputy part, Li Xiaoru still played the main part, at the climax, Wen Fangfei played the guzheng again, Liu Yan's piano entered the bass consonant part at the same time, so as not to be too loud, covering Wen Fangfei's guzheng sound, and the three of them jointly performed the most classic and beautiful melody.
At the end, the piano stopped, and the whole piece ended in the sound of Wen Fangfei's zither.
Probably because the three of them have similar personalities and take this performance very seriously, their first rehearsal was relatively smooth, and there were basically no principled issues.
Of course, Li Xiaoru and Wen Fangfei themselves are excellent students in the top rankings of their respective majors, even if they want to make low-level mistakes in their hearts, their fingers will not agree, the two of them have been handy with the musical instruments they have learned since childhood, every keyboard, every string, they are proficient in their hearts.
And Liu Yan is not as nervous as when she played with Tang Tu before, she and Li Xiaoru have already practiced a few times, and she has corrected the deficiencies that Li Xiaoru pointed out to her, and the piano part on her side can pass.
But the so-called trio can not rely on a single person's show-off skills to win, no matter how good the individual is, it does not mean that the entire small group is excellent, professionals, but also look at the degree of cooperation of the ensemble, what the three girls need to do now is to seize the time to practice, so that the three melodies can be perfectly blended together, and there are no flaws in hearing. It's not a question of skill, it's a question of tacit understanding.
"There are only two weeks left before the performance, we have classes from Monday to Friday, and Fang Fei is also very busy, so she can't come here every day with a guzheng on her back," Ms. Li told Ms. Liu, who was worried about the lack of time.
Wen Fangfei said understandingly, "I can come on Thursday and Friday, why don't we agree to rehearse every Thursday night, Friday night and Sunday morning, fifteen hours a week, thirty hours for two weeks, it should be enough." ”
"Practicing the piano for five hours a day, can your fingers stand it?" Li Xiaoru's gaze stayed on Wen Fangfei's prosthetic nail, this thing must not be very comfortable sticking to her hand, she saw Wen Fangfei adjust it a few times.
"I often practice the piano from day to night, and it's commonplace," Wen Fangfei disagreed, "Besides, it doesn't hurt or get tired to wear a prosthetic, if it's an ancient person, it's painful to pluck the strings with your own real nails." ”
"It hurts to think about it," Li Xiaoru glanced at her fingers, glad that when she was a child, her parents let her learn piano instead of guzheng.
But in fact, playing the piano for five hours in a row is also very hard, and the fingers will hurt, and it will also require extremely strong physical strength.
Otherwise, how can it be said that one minute on the stage, ten years of work off the stage, no musical instrument is easy.
Liu Yan remembered that in her previous life, there was no such thing as a righteous nail in the Han Dynasty, Mrs. Xu once left a very long fingernails, specially used to play the piano, due to long-term cold palace, malnutrition, Mrs. Xu's nails were very brittle, and the thickness was not enough, often playing and playing, the nails were broken, she only played the piano with her fingers, and the fingertips of ten fingers were full of thick calluses.
Liu Yan has thin nails like Mrs. Xu, and she doesn't have long nails, and she always presses the strings directly with her fingers.
At that time, after practicing every day, Xiao Zhao would leave her a basin of cold water to soak her fingers.
"Yan Yan, Yan Yan, did you hear us talking?" Li Xiaoru interrupted Liu Yan's recollection.
Liu Yan came back to her senses, "What did you say?"
"Why are you suddenly stunned?" Li Xiaoru said with a smile, "I just agreed with Fang Fei that we will come here at seven o'clock tomorrow night to rehearse, and we will talk to the teacher at the door later, and ask her to help us keep this piano room, we have many professional piano rooms, and it is not exam week, so it should not matter if it takes up a day, so as not to make Fang Fei work her back." ”
"I have no opinion," Ms. Liu said.
"OK, it is estimated that the piano room will close soon, then we will see you tomorrow night," Li Xiaoru looked at the time on her mobile phone, "Oh, it's ten o'clock in the blink of an eye, Yan Yan, or you will rest in the dormitory today, don't go home, or when you walk out of school and walk to the subway entrance, the subway will be closed, so late, it is not safe to take a taxi and online car-hailing." ”
Liu Yan nodded in agreement, anyway, her previous bunk was still in the dormitory, it had not been touched, and there was also a change of clothes and daily necessities, Liu Yan said, "Let's send Fang Fei back to the dormitory first." ”
Wen Fangfei hurriedly waved her hand, "No need, no need." ”
"No, you are so good-looking, what if you are dragged into the grove by bad people, we have an obligation to protect you!" Li Xiaoru said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
In fact, their schools are very safe.
Wen Fangfei laughed and no longer shirked the kindness of the two.
Before leaving the piano room, she would pass by the piano teacher's office, and Li Xiaoru specially said to a female teacher inside, "Teacher, we are coming tomorrow night, first temporarily put a guzheng in the double piano room on the 5th floor, can you please help us lock the door?"
"No problem," said the female teacher, picking up a key and going upstairs.
