Cheng Xiaoyu's bedroom is on the second floor of the villa by the door, and below it is the billiard room where Aunt Zhou promised to make him a piano room. Cheng Xiaoyu took off her clothes when she entered the bedroom, planning to take a good shower. The rudimentary bathroom in the intensive care unit obviously did not satisfy him, who had a slight habit of cleanliness. The bathroom is quite luxurious, with all the facilities, Cheng Xiaoyu was lying in the bathtub with a massage system, comfortable and straight, soaked for half an hour, until the skin on the body was red, and the fingertips were wrinkled.

The bathroom is opposite the cloakroom, the spacious cloakroom is empty, there are not many clothes, and I am not very particular about being an otaku. Excluding pajamas and school uniforms, there are only a few sportswear and a few black T-shirts.

Cheng Xiaoyu dried his hair, looked in the mirror and couldn't help sighing, this fat body didn't know how to lose weight in the Year of the Monkey, so he put on a pair of blue sweatpants at random, took a black T-shirt and put it on, and walked downstairs towards Su Yuxi's piano room.

As the music director, he is good at guitar, bass, drums, and was once the lead singer and lead guitar of the band, Cheng Xiaoyu's band name is Roaringplasticbottles (roaring bottles), the music style is similar to the letter band, it belongs to pop rock, and it is barely a powermetal.

His own voice is relatively high-pitched and loud, he has to love whatever he sings, and he is effortless to leave the song. And in his heart, he loves RNB songs. He had devoted himself to the study of black singing and had some success.

Another time and space: since the thirties, black singing has been constantly influenced by white music, and it has been continuously fused until the nineties, which can be roughly divided into two types. One is that it still maintains most of the traditional black singing methods, represented by Brian McKennett, Boyz II MenRKelly, characterized by a concentrated voice, delicate, the alternation of closed and closed is great, I don't like to use trills, the voice is straightened, and I avoid being associated with the "atmospheric, shocking" sentiment that is often found in white operas.

Second, there are many representatives of the modified black singing mode that is strictly dyed by white music, such as the familiar Tianwang MJ who was influenced by white hard rock singing, and Hao Ge, the acupoint singer of the Avenue of Stars who was influenced by white opera singing, who not only maintained the movements on the vocal cords of some black people, but also focused on absorbing the use of white people for cavity resonance and sound transmission channels. The second style of singing is characterized by its large vocal energy, which is suitable for singing large-scale stage music, opening music, and at the same time, this singing style has influenced a group of white singers, such as David Phelps.

And Cheng Xiaoyu's timbre conditions made him have to choose the second way of singing. At the moment, he doesn't want to try his current voice. On the contrary, I can't wait to see what Cheng dù is for the piano skill attribute of the otaku. In the previous life, Cheng Xiaoyu didn't have much knowledge of the piano, and belonged to the classical music novice who only listened to the pop piano, and the classical piano that could only be appreciated in the concert hall was really out of reach for him.

Cheng Xiaoyu walked into the piano room and found that his heart was beating a little fast. He looked around, although the piano room has most of the glass structure, but obviously this is not ordinary glass, the thickness is not to mention for the time being, there are three layers of light, and the two interlayers are still vacuum, so the sound insulation must be no problem.

Cheng Xiaoyu closed the door, and the bookshelf on the right side of the door was full of piano scores. Sweep through Czerny, Bach, Burgmüller, Kremendi, Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Liszt, Beethoven, and Chopin. Cheng Xiaoyu walked over to the white Stanway placed in the center, with Debussy's Moonlight Song on it, apparently practiced by Su Yuxi recently.

Open the lid, put his butt on a third of the leather sofa stool, straighten his upper body, and put his feet near the pedal, Cheng Xiaoyu took a deep breath, and gently swept the black and white keys with his right hand, and the sound of a cold steel ball sprinkled on the ice echoed in his ears, and the familiar jumping notes made Cheng Xiaoyu feel extremely warm.

The piano is called the king of musical instruments not only because it is the largest instrument with the most complex internal structure. A good modern piano is not only a beautiful and elegant work of art, it also has a wide range like the sea, a beautiful and pure acoustic quality like the sky, and a rhythm as accurate and steady as time.

The modern piano has the widest range among ancient and modern Chinese and foreign musical instruments, with 88 black and white keys, like 88 light and vibrant, each with its own naughty spirits. The wide range of modern pianos encompasses the entire musical system used in music. To put it simply, it's not just for playing classical music. (The style of classical music is more complex in terms of technique and harmonic system.) Other instruments, especially ethnic instruments, have too little range in the register. For example: Guzheng. There are only five tones: 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6. The vocal range is not wide enough. Folk songs, popular songs, alternative jazz, blues, and other styles of music can all be played on the piano.

It can not only be played, but also can be harmoniously matched with other instruments, whether it is symphony, folk music, or even rock and Peking opera, it can be seamlessly integrated into it. That's why it's called the "King of Musical Instruments", which means it can play almost any music in the world.

If this alone is not enough to be king, the most important point is that the piano is the easiest way to express musical feelings, such as joy, liveliness, cheerfulness, excitement, sadness, and anger. This is more difficult to interpret for other instruments.

In fact, the piano is not such a talented instrument, in fact, as long as the IQ is enough, persistent practice can reach a certain height. On the contrary, it is the innate physical conditions, mainly the size of the hands and the length of the fingers, which have a greater impact on the interpretation of difficult classical piano repertoire. But if you want to become a master, hard work alone is not enough, you also need enough music appreciation, analysis ability and super musicality to open the way to the master. Cheng Xiaoyu does not have the heart to become a master, for him, the short-term goal is to use the piano to enter the play, and the long-term goal is to play a difficult one, such as "Don Juan's Memories", it is enough to install B.

Debussy's Moonlight is probably a level 9 difficulty in the piano repertoire, which is not very demanding in terms of kung fu to play, but it is far from being able to achieve level 9 to play soft touch keys and subtle controls of timbre and dynamics. Although this is a grade 9 repertoire, it must be at least a performance grade B in order to interpret the flow and express the ethereal artistic conception. Cheng Xiaoyu's congenital conditions are very good, the palms are very large, the fingers are slender, just looking at these hands is really beautiful, and then looking up is two fat lotus roots, white and chubby is gratifying.

The current Cheng Xiaoyu can play the relatively unfamiliar moonlight song without looking at the score at all, but the original Cheng Xiaoyu can't do it. The otaku who started practicing at the age of four and the music director who started playing the guitar at the age of twelve, the ability to understand music is not simply one plus one, but has a wonderful chemical reaction. Not only has he improved his musical perception and memory, but now his ears have also been upgraded to the monitoring level, which is especially important for a musician.

Because he hadn't practiced for a long time, Cheng Xiaoyu felt that his hands were a little tight, and he couldn't freely and smoothly express the picture of silence and moonlight. To deal with a piece like Moonlight Music requires not only repeated practice and comparison, but also more attention to the musical expression of different dynamics, and the most important thing in Moonlight Music is that the fingers need to be very close to the keys when playing, or even only let the keys be raised halfway, giving people a feeling of continuity, even in the quiet background to point out the same faint and slender melodic lines.

Cheng Xiaoyu's current bull B is that he knows where he doesn't play well enough and where he needs to improve. There is no doubt that this is a goldfinger-like skill, and it is an extremely powerful R skill. It was more exciting for him than a smooth pop-up moonlight song.

After playing the Moonlight Song, he was like a beloved game, constantly climbing in difficulty, from Chopin's Revolutionary Etude to Beethoven's Pathos Sonata to Liszt's Supertechnical Etude Majepa, constantly testing the limits of his fingers.

Cheng Xiaoyu, who was engrossed, did not pay attention to the passage of time at all, he was already completely immersed in a world of his own. Until the stumbling and playing the harmony of the night, this track is not the most difficult in Liszt's superskill etudes, but it is the most exhausting song, Cheng Xiaoyu has a kind of broken void, the feeling of stepping on the moon and soaring, he sweated and felt that the two selves were blended together, and there was no confusion in doubting whether he had a split personality, but also a kind of joy, like playing League of Legends from gold all the way to platinum, and then directly upgraded to diamond excitement. Completely oblivious to his sister, Su Yuxi, opened the door to the piano room as he finished playing the last note of Night Harmony.

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't know that the person he didn't dare to offend the most in the family had quietly stood behind him, twisted his waist full of fat, and began to play the most famous song in the Sky City, Moonlight の Yunhai, he had already tried the classical piano skills of an otaku, and now he wanted to see if the skills of the music director could be added to the piano attributes. Cheng Xiaoyu, the music director, has only played the guitar version of Moonlight Yunhai, and guitar sheet music and piano sheet music are definitely not the same concept, but he has also heard the piano version of Moonlight Yunhai, so he plans to play it according to his improvised arrangement. Moonlight の Sea of Clouds is a classic of Hisaishi Jean, and in the popular piano, Cheng dù is one and two. But in terms of the difficulty of playing, it is really unmentionable. Cheng Xiaoyu wanted to use this song to soothe his tense nerves, so he played it very freely.

He closed his eyes, his hands jumped smoothly on the black and white keys, when the gentle melody slowly floated out of the piano, as if to support his thoughts to the pale blue velvet curtain sky, the melancholy girl blew the bagpipes in her hand with the warm wind, and the child who was lost in the distance looked at the bright moonlight but could not find his way home. This slow sorrow is so deep and yet so intoxicating. The more than four-minute tune flawlessly takes people into the sea of stars and feels a lonely journey. Cheng Xiaoyu exhaled and was very satisfied with the effect of this song.

Before I had time to reminisce carefully, there was a sudden burst of applause in my ears.

Cheng Xiaoyu was suddenly shocked, immediately stood up, jumped up with the sofa stool, and rubbed against the wooden floor to make a rattling sound.

When he turned around, the sunset in the west happened to fall into the range of the glass bay window, and the orange afterglow suddenly sprinkled most of the piano room, and Cheng Xiaoyu, who was shaking, was a little dizzy. He saw Su Yuxi's slender shadow, and then saw the white lace curtain gently swaying, as if a breeze was blowing her long dark blue hair through the piano room.

"What's this song called?" was the first thing she said to him.

"Castle in the sky, a song about dreams and ruined miè. Those were the first words he said to her.

So the slowly flowing sunlight stopped. In the cold embers of the setting sun, he saw a pair of moving eyes.

He inexplicably remembered a sentence, today's wind is so noisy!
