Chapter 385: No Layering

Li Feng was indeed a little embarrassed, he not only wanted to use Chen Yongren's score, but also wanted to change the score slightly.

For many serious musicians, the latter is absolutely intolerable.

For many creators, they compromise for a variety of reasons.

For example, the market, they have to compromise with the market, first consider whether it will be popular, and then consider the degree of music completion. There are also people who compromise on authority, and when they are commented on by their boss or a teacher, they can't stick to their original ideas.

However, most musicians, especially original musicians, will never tolerate anyone altering their score.

Without him, musicians are paranoid, they stubbornly believe that their music is the best, and they have created the greatest music in the world. As for being unpopular? They have all sorts of reasons.

They will feel that the audience does not know how to appreciate, or think that the music is high and low, or that they have not found a soulmate. In any case, they are absolutely unwilling to rectify the score.

This is not only the case in the piano world, but also in the music industry. There are many masters who are not happy to be adapted by others to adapt their own songs, why is "I Am a Singer" becoming more and more niche as it is sung, and many songs that are obviously suitable for adaptation are not adapted?

It's not that they haven't been authorized by the original singers, and they don't want to be adapted.

Even though they knew that they would definitely get huge benefits after the adaptation, and their fame would skyrocket, they still chose to persevere.

Unless you're too famous, too high in seniority for them to refuse, it's basically impossible for some songs to be adapted.

Who is more famous between the original owner and Li Feng? Who has a higher seniority? Don't think about it, it must be the original owner.

In front of Chen Yongren, Li Feng is just a student and a junior.

There is no problem for the younger generation to want to use the score of the elders, and they also want to change the score, which is more or less disrespectful to the elders.

Chen Yongren didn't think about it so much, and the main reason why other musicians were reluctant to adapt the songs was that they spent a lot of effort to create them.

Just like the child born to a mother in October, no matter what others say, they think that their child is the best.

In the same way, musicians have a similar mind, and they also subconsciously maintain the song.

It doesn't matter if the song is adapted better or worse, they won't want to.

Chen Yongren is different, "To Alice" itself is not his original score, as the saying goes, it is not distressing to sell Ye Tian cubs, he is somewhat similar to his heart.

And he is indeed a little curious, is Li Feng's musical literacy enough for him to adapt "To Alice"?

Don't look at the original earth to describe "To Alice" as an "insignificant" song, but it is indeed "insignificant" among Beethoven's many classics, and in the eyes of many people, "To Alice" is a classic to perfection.

How many musicians want to adapt "To Alice", but in the end, they can only regret the end.

In the face of this 'insignificant' score, countless music masters can only choose to surrender, what surprise will Li Feng bring to Chen Yongren?

"You're my student, so there's no problem with using To Alice. And I'm also curious, the revamped "To Alice".

If you don't mind, can you play for me now?" asked Chen Yongren.

I didn't expect Chen Yongren to be so easy to speak, Li Feng was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Okay, I have this intention, please ask the teacher to follow me to the piano room, and I will play it for you!"

Chen Yongren had nothing to do, stood up and went to the piano room with Li Feng.

Due to the upcoming piano audition in the school, many students who are interested in piano are all immersed in the piano room, wanting to increase some of their singing skills.

In particular, some seeded players have special guidance from teachers.

No, there are many students practicing in the piano classroom. Seeing this situation, Chen Yongren frowned slightly.

After seeing him come in, many people subconsciously stood up, picked up their mobile phones and slapped him violently.

"You're going to play here?" Chen asked.

Li Feng nodded: "I usually practice here, and there is a single practice room specially prepared for us!"

The one-person practice room is completely enclosed, and there is a piano, several Shizukos, and audio and video recording equipment to let students know if there is a problem with their playing.

Of course, the single-person practice room is not available to ordinary people. Only some seeded players, or, after paying a fee, can use it.

Whether Li Feng paid the money or obtained permission from the school, Chen Yongren didn't care. Nodding slightly: "If you want to use "To Alice", it is better to be in the solo practice room, otherwise your secret weapon will not be a secret!"

"To Alice" is a very simple sheet music that can be learned by ordinary students after listening to it a few times, let alone a group of top college students.

Basically, after one pass, they can memorize the notes, and it doesn't take long for them to become proficient.

Without Chan's authorization, they would not have been able to use "To Alice" to participate in the competition, but it would also make Li Feng's performance ungraceful.

Listening to music countless times is completely different from listening to it for the first time.

Li Feng nodded and said, "I understand, except for the students in our class, others don't know "To Alice" for the time being!"

This is his secret weapon to participate in the competition, and he naturally will not give it away easily.

As they spoke, the two entered the solo practice room. After saying hello to Chen Yongren, Li Feng slowly sat on the piano bench.

At this moment, Chen Yongren found that Li Feng had changed slightly. If Li Feng in his usual state still has the youth of a young man, after putting his hands on the keys, he suddenly has a calmness far beyond his age. It was the spirituality and confidence that music and the piano gave him.

Chen Yongren bowed slightly, only with this kind of self-confidence can he belong to his own piano temperament, and can he truly control the piano, not be controlled by the piano.

Gently exhaling a breath of turbidity, Li Feng began to play himself.

The original score has not changed, and it remains the only one of "To Alice". The first measure is flawless, just after moving on to the second. Chen Yongren frowned slightly.

Li Feng actually made a rectification of "To Alice" at the beginning of the second stanza.

Rectification is not impossible, but he added a cheerful atmosphere from this measure, his hands jumped on the keys, and the notes turned into chuckles, which quickly reached Chen Yongren's ears.

If the atmosphere brought into the second measure was a little abrupt, the sudden increase in love in the third measure left him at a loss. The atmosphere is still strong, like a couple in love, and they miss each other all the time.

From the beginning of the second measure to the end of the sixth measure, Chen Yongren listened to a love affair. It is only in the seventh measure, the eighth measure, that there is the sadness of the original score.

After playing, Li Feng raised his head and asked expectantly, "Teacher Qin, what do you think?"

Chen Yongren was still frowning: "If I were the judge this time, after listening to your playing, I would definitely not let you advance!"

"Why?" Li Feng subconsciously shouted, he had done his best, why did Chen Yongren deny him.

It is difficult for young people to accept criticism, Chen Yongren understands Li Feng's thoughts, but he still has to say some things: "It seems that you have misunderstood the song "To Alice" a little, when I played it for you for the first time, what did you think of "To Alice"?"

Li Feng thought for a while and said: "The style of music is clear, the music score is moving, I like it very much!"

"Yes, you summed it up perfectly. "To Alice" is not a complicated piano piece, it is so simple that you can learn it after listening to me play it once. But why do you think it's a great piece? Not because it's complicated, it's just because it's simple. And in the simplicity, it paves up the feelings layer by layer!"

As he spoke, he stood beside Li Feng and slid his right hand over the keys: "What is really good about it is not the music itself, but the feelings in the music."

How to interpret feelings? It needs foreshadowing, and it takes a lot of foreshadowing. Since the first section, I have been paving the way, from acquaintance, to touching, to feelings, and finally I have a trace of understanding.

You are too much in pursuit of emotional fluctuations, but you inadvertently fall into the inferior. In my eyes, your adapted score is not up to par at all.

If you go into a contest with this song, it's almost impossible to make it!"
