A week passed in the blink of an eye, and it was the last day of the exchange period. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the same day, the exchange members of China and Japan prepared to jointly hold a party, and entered the rehearsal from the morning.

Because of his previous excellent rescue performance, he temporarily arranged a program for Li Zhifan to play "Moonlight Sonata" solo, and at the same time, Zhongju Youdou specially invited Li Zhifan to play a double piano.

Two-piano performance is a form of piano art in which two pianos are placed opposite each other on the stage and two pianists play a piece together.

This is a performance that tests tacit understanding, but if you want to say that these two people can have a tacit understanding, no one will believe it!

However, Li Zhifan did not refuse, since the other party invited, we would not back down, gladly accepted the proposal, and searched for the essentials and techniques of double piano performance through "Piano Skills".

The two of them want to play a two-piano piece called "Struggle" composed by the world's famous 18th-century European classical musician Lecente, which is also the world's most famous two-piano performance.

The most wonderful performance in later generations is the version performed by the famous French pianist Ben Champin and the Austrian female pianist Mercedes at the beginning of the 21st century.

At the same time, the peace after the last part of the struggle was interpreted by the two of them to the feeling of the love between men and women after the war, and there was no shortage of fair dialogue between the sexes in the lingering compassion.

There are many, many interpretations, but if Li Zhifan plays this piece with Zhongju Youdou, it will definitely not be a pure cover of this version, and a lot of adaptations will definitely be made.

I don't know what kind of attitude Zhongju Youdou is, all the energy on Li Zhifan's side has been put into it.

"Piano Skills" has brought Li Zhifan a lot of valuable technical wealth, reading the score a few times, listening to the ensemble version of the predecessors a few times, you can take down the whole section, but if you want to make a different arrangement, you have to study, and this is what "Piano Skills" can't bring to him for the time being.

After listening to it several times with headphones on, Li Zhifan couldn't figure it out.

Suddenly, he thought of the "100 Piano Songs" he grabbed from Master Lang's red envelope!

Can you find some inspiration in these piano songs?

Slumped back in his chair, Li Zhifan closed his eyes and looked for a suitable reference object in these 100 piano pieces.

More than half an hour later, Tao Jiping walked in from outside.

This is the piano room of Fujino University, which was temporarily applied for Li Zhifan to practice, but seeing that he looked asleep, Tao Jiping couldn't help but step forward and push his shoulder, trying to wake him up.

"Zhifan, don't sleep, time is running out, can you take this song down?"

However, he did not wake up Li Zhifan.

At this time, Seto Masashi also walked in with Yuto Nakai and Bai Linjie.

Seeing Li Zhifan leaning back on the chair and falling asleep, Seto Chang couldn't help but wonder, "Huh, what's wrong with him?"

Through Bai Linjie's translation, Tao Jiping couldn't help but be embarrassed, "Maybe I was too tired last night and didn't rest well, I'll call him again!"

After hearing this, Seto Chang couldn't help muttering a few words, Tao Jiping looked at Bai Linjie, waiting for her to translate.

But Bai Linjie looked embarrassed, looking at her expression, Tao Jiping also understood a little, but he didn't complain about Li Zhifan, but said to Bai Linjie: "Tell Professor Seto that we will definitely perform very well in this show!"

"We'll see!"

After listening to Bai Linjie's translation, Seto Chang said with a smile, still in not very standard Chinese.

The two didn't talk again, just stared at each other.

At this time, Li Zhifan suddenly got up from the chair with a grunt, and without looking at the person standing next to him, he raised his hand and played on the piano keys.

And he played "Struggle" with the Zhongju Yuto ensemble.

This piano piece is divided into three parts, the first part of the music is depressing, full of contradictions, there is a feeling of wind and rain about to come and the wind is full of buildings, and in Li Zhifan's performance, the oppressive atmosphere is more obvious, and several chords are changed to lower octaves, which is more depressing and unpleasant.

Seto put away the emotions just now and listened attentively with an indifferent face.

Zhongju Youdou's arm was put down and inserted in his pocket, in the past he only did this in the most relaxed state, but now it is different, because he heard a sense of oppression from Li Zhifan's playing, this feeling made him a little nervous, his chest was suffocated, and after listening to two more sentences, he turned around and walked out of the door uncontrollably, wanting to breathe.

Although the rhythm of the first part is slow, this slowness is not breezy and peaceful, unlike the relaxing soothing of "Moonlight Sonata", and in the second part, the tempo suddenly increases and the tone increases suddenly.

Tao Jiping and the others saw a scene of fierce struggle in a trance, like a trumpet blowing.

Seto Masashi patted his chest, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

Bai Linjie's lips turned white, and she took a few steps back and sat down on the bench by the wall.

But Tao Jiping was in a turbulent mood, a blood that had not been seen for a long time was boiling in his chest, and he thought of the war movies he had seen, especially the films depicting the anti-Japanese period of World War II, and every scene was crossed in his mind.

In an instant, with the rendering of several trebles, the second part ends and the third part is entered.

The third part is a variation on the basis of the first part, which is also slow, some pianists integrate their own true feelings, like parting and reunion in love, and some integrate social responsibility, showing post-war thinking and pain.

Li Zhifan's version has been slightly adapted, using the pentatonic mode with Chinese characteristics in the chords, and the momentum has a kind of hard work and vigor, which is closer to the Chinese nation's determination to build a perfect society after the war.

The last note fades in sustain and the whole piece ends.

After he finished, Li Zhifan was quite satisfied with his performance just now, and he absorbed the essence of this "Battle" adaptation from many piano pieces, including Beethoven's "Fate" and "Pathétique", as well as Chopin's "Parting Etude", as well as "Yellow River Concerto" and "Bright Moon on the Sea" with Chinese national characteristics.

Standing up that day, he found that Tao Jiping and Seto Chang were standing behind him, and Bai Linjie was sitting on a bench, and the common feature of the three of them was that they were all in a trance.

"Teacher Tao!"

Li Zhifan shouted, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Tao Jiping's eyes.

As a result, the first person who reacted was not Tao Jiping, but Seto Chang.

He looked at Li Zhifan, but his eyes were a little evasive, and after saying something in Japanese that he didn't understand, he turned around and left.

Later, Tao Jiping came back to his senses: "What you played just now, is it really "Struggle"?"

"Yes!" Li Zhifan nodded, "What's the matter, Mr. Tao?"

"It's okay!"

Tao Jiping smiled, "Okay, just play it like this, I can't say anything else, but this adaptation is very bold and very good!"
