Chapter 54: The Pianist of the Sea

(I would like to commemorate my favorite movie with this chapter)

Cheng Xiaoyu sent Fu Xiyue to the taxi, and Fu Xiyue, who had been depressed, reluctantly said goodbye to Cheng Xiaoyu with a smile and said, "Contact again." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu could only smile and say, "Okay, I have time to call." He waved his hand at Fu Xiyue, thinking that goodbye might just be gone.

Cheng Xiaoyu has nothing to regret, although Fu Xiyue is very beautiful, men will never refuse to know beautiful girls. But now he cherishes his feelings very much, and he is not willing to give it lightly to anyone. I don't know if this mood is his will as an otaku or his will as a music director.

Looking at the taxi in the distance, Cheng Xiaoyu stood under the camphor tree on the side of the road and received a text message from Tang Wenqian.

"What a wonderful performance just now! This was followed by a clapping emoji.

Cheng Xiaoyu remembered this initiator at this time, and quickly returned, "Damn, I was embarrassed to die of shame by you, you are embarrassed to text me, fortunately, my sister and I have excellent skills, my skills are amazing, my skills are not pressing, and my skills are superior." Otherwise, you'll be really drunk this time!"

"Yo, you're still panting when you say you're fat? Oh, I'm sorry, you're fat. Ha ha. Originally, I didn't dare to send you a text message, but thinking that you were going to agree to my request, I had to muster up the courage to collect the debt!" Tang Wenqian replied quickly.

Cheng Xiaoyu thought that for this gambling contract, he gave away a broken rose, and he was ridiculed by others, and his face was already lost. Don't look at what this Tang Wenqian looks like, she is really ashamed of her dedication, and immediately returned to "Okay, what are the requirements to meet." ”

posted this sentence, and the other side did not respond for a while.

Cheng Xiaoyu turned his head and walked towards the Forest of Lights, his coat still in the dressing room. Wang Ou and Xia Shamo had already arrived at the door of the bar. Cheng Xiaoyu turned her head and saw Xia Shamo's mother still pushing her bicycle and standing under the street lamp not far away.

Cheng Xiaoyu said goodbye to Xia Shamo, waved to Xia Shamo's mother from a distance, and watched with Wang Ou watch the mother and daughter gradually walk away under the little lights on their bicycles.

Wang Ou excitedly grabbed Cheng Xiaoyu's two arms and shouted, "Little fatty, you're so awesome." That song "Dragon Gate Inn" is absolutely explosive, when can I play it? You have to copy a score for me!"

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled, "Don't worry, there will be such a day." Now you still have to practice the basic skills, don't be too ambitious, I will teach you what I can teach you. Hurry back, it's so late, there's no subway at a late date. ”

Wang Ou nodded, carried his guitar, and ran towards the subway station.

Cheng Xiaoyu took out his mobile phone and saw that Tang Wenqian hadn't replied to the text message, and he didn't plan to call to ask, and he didn't force it to meet him. I went back to the bar and got my coat and drove to Fudan University.

It wasn't until I got to the car that I received a text message from Tang Wenqian, "Sister, I will definitely meet you next time, I didn't wear makeup today, I'm afraid I'll scare you to death without makeup, wait for the concubine to dress up next time, and then meet with you." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu felt that the tone was a little familiar, but he didn't think about it carefully, and launched the Ferrari and said, "Then I will go back to the palace first! ”

Then after a while, she received countless angry expressions from Tang Wenqian. Cheng Xiaoyu didn't reply, but he didn't know that he was dying like this.

Xu Qinning and Su Yuxi watched Cheng Xiaoyu leave the bar, and then asked Li Ling'er and Tang Wenqian to go out and stare at Cheng Xiaoyu as they walked away, before they came out of the Lights Forest.

Huang Xiaoqi and the others also left the Forest of Lights, and Huang Xiaoqi asked Li Ling'er to ask Xu Qinning and Su Yuxi if they were going to the Nirvana Bar. Tang Wenqian and Huang Xiaoqi had already asked, but she agreed to go.

Li Ling'er replied angrily, "The old lady is not a microphone, so she won't ask!"

Huang Xiaoqi had nothing to do, so he could only promise Li Ling'er a few Michelin three-star meals before Li Ling'er came over to speak.

Xu Qinning had already called the driver to pick her up and Su Yuxi, planning to go home. Li Ling'er walked over and hugged Xu Qinning's arm and said, "Sister Ning, Sister Xi, Huang Xiaoqi still wants to invite you to Nirvana to play, will you go?"

Xu Qinning shook her head and refused without thinking about it, she knew that Su Yuxi would definitely not go, and said to Li Ling'er, "If you want to go with Qianqian, remember to go home before 1 o'clock, I promised Qianqian her mother." ”

Tang Wenqian thought for a while and said, "Forget it, you and Sister Xi won't go, and I'm too lazy to go." ”

Xu Qinning took Su Yuxi's hand and said, "It's okay, the bar, what is there to go, the noisy headache, and they are all wild bees and butterflies with sperm insects on their brains." There's really nothing to go about. ”

Li Ling'er also knew that Xu Qinning and Su Yuxi were both reluctant people, so she didn't say much, and sighed, "Sister, I also tried my best, I can only help Huang Xiaoqi get here." ”

Of course, Su Yuxi knows that Huang Xiaoqi likes her, but she sincerely thinks that falling in love is a boring thing, and naturally she will not waste time for any man, in her eyes, almost all men are single-celled lower body animals. Su Yuxi smiled at Li Ling'er and said, "Ling'er, you have to find a way to ask for Huang Luyang's bank card number, and I will transfer the money spent tonight to him at that time." ”

Li Ling'er was stunned for a moment and said, "Sister Xi, Huang Xiaoqi is not a stingy person, that little money is not enough." ”

Su Yuxi replied seriously: "It's not a matter of money." ”

Li Ling'er could only sigh for Huang Xiaoqi and said, "I'll try it, if he wants to pay him back, he will definitely not sue me." ”

Xu Qinning interjected: "Don't sue him, he is embarrassed." My car came over, and I went back first. Qianqian, you can't go. ”

Tang Wenqian nodded.

The three girls said goodbye to Huang Xiaoqi and the others from afar, and then got on the Rolls-Royce on the side of the road.

Li Ling'er returned to Huang Xiaoqi's side, patted Huang Xiaoqi and said, "Brother Qi, I advise you to give up early, it's really no fun." ”

Huang Xiaoqi smiled bitterly at Li Ling'er and said, "When do you think I have a play?" turned around and didn't say anything, and walked towards his Porsche 911 parked on the side of the road, he didn't want anything now, he just wanted to get drunk.

In fact, Huang Xiaoqi doesn't know what love is, nor does he know where his persistent feelings come from. Carefully recalling, after graduating from elementary school, he saw Su Yuxi only a handful of times. But every time I see her, the images are so profound, and whenever I can't sleep in the dead of night, those images will slowly replay like a movie.

He remembered every dress she wore, every gesture she made, and every piano piece she played on stage.

Those piano pieces that are not good to him, he bought CDs, and he will take them out and listen to them when he has time, although he can't hear anything about it, but he thinks Su Yuxi plays it best.

At this age when you don't know what love is, those unattainable dreams are the sweetest. Every unrequited lover is in the mood of pilgrimage, looking up at the starry sky, they never expect happiness to come suddenly, just cautiously thankful for the occasional happiness every day.

Huang Xiaoqi thinks like this, I am fortunate to have it, but I am not killed.

Seize the opportunity to try to get closer to her, but never let such proximity become a problem for her.

This is the most glorious dignity of an unrequited lover.

After a few days of fighting, it didn't affect Cheng Xiaoyu's life much. I went to the forest of lights at night and couldn't wait for the girl to hand over the love letter with affection. Cheng Xiaoyu is actually very sorry in his heart, such a perfect performance, such a classic song, and can't win the favor of the girl, it's a big loss for him.

In the morning, Cheng Xiaoyu didn't have time to go to the piano room to practice. I'm busy choosing a piano these days. Cheng Xiaoyu got up early in the morning today, seeing that the New Year was approaching, and the renovation of his recording studio was nearing completion. In the end, he was still embarrassed to go to Fu Xiyue's musical instrument store to buy the piano, and Fu Xiyue never took the initiative to contact him later, and he didn't think about how a reserved beauty could be embarrassed to take the initiative to contact him, a lewd fat man.

Cheng Xiaoyu could only entrust the housekeeper Qiao San to buy the piano on his behalf.

Regarding what brand of piano to buy, in the end, Cheng Xiaoyu still did not choose Steinway, which was the same as Su Yuxi, but chose Liszt's favorite Bechstein piano.

In fact, there is no BEST for piano brands, only oneofthebest. Brand history

, craftsmanship inheritance, timbre, feel, etc. are all reference elements. In terms of overall measurement, if you want to talk about the top level, the following brands can be parallel to Steinway: C. BechsteiN (C. BechsteiN) and

Bosendorfer.

The piano is like a car, you can say a Ferrari is better than a Lamborghini, Mercedes also has the SLR722. It doesn't make much sense to simply compare brands.

An old topic immediately came up, what is the difference between the voices of these famous pianos, and whose voice is better?

These days, Cheng Xiaoyu has also gone to a lot of piano shops to study carefully, Steinway's pursuit of timbre is almost perverted, and it must go through rigorous inspections before selling to ensure that each Steinway piano has a unique sound. Timbre-wise, Steinway's voice is difficult to express in words, and it feels like a graceful and luxurious, very imperial voice. Whenever people hear Steinway's voice for the first time, they are all impressed by its noble temperament. Steinway & Sons has a deep bass, a warm and wide mids, and bright and gorgeous treble. But as far as alto is concerned, Steinway is the most outstanding, with a strong appeal and expressive power, but Cheng Xiaoyu thinks that the most lethal is Steinway's innate imperial temperament.

Bessendoff uses a different standard than Steinway, and as a result, the tonal emphasis is different. Besendorfer's voice is subtle, but substantial. It is clear that it is the voice of the German-Austrian family. The most distinctive feature of Bessendorfer is in the bass range, where the timbre is clear and rounded, and it is not only rich. It can create a peculiar tonal atmosphere. Many pianists call it "deep and subtle". It feels like "the heavy sword has no edge, and the great ingenuity does not work".

Regarding the difference between the sound of the Steinway and Bessendorfer, there is a difference between the American Steinway and the European one, the former has a brighter sound, and the latter has a sweeter sound. Most pianists say that its piano can adapt to a wide range of requirements, with pure sound quality and wide range, bright treble, and rich bass.

Many pianists don't think the Beesendor is as versatile as the Steinway, but it has a rich bass to midrange and a sweet treble without a metallic sound, which can be compared to the Steinway. The Beesendorf is also an ideal instrument for playing the elegant Viennese works of Mozart and Schubert. The pianist Buckhouse mentioned in a famous talk that he found the Beesendorff to have its own unique playing effect, which was completely submissive to any intention of the pianist in terms of sound and touch.

Bechstein and the upper two have a more balanced feeling, and the pitch of each string bend of the Bechstein grand piano must be a pure octave, and the most terrible thing is that the bend is not yet lead, and the manufacturing technology is daunting. The planks of Bechstein pianos must be air-dried for more than 5 years before they can be assembled. This ensures the transparency of the sound. And not only in this aspect, but the detailed requirements for each part are terrible. That's why there is a unique tone to meet the needs of all kinds of perverted pianists. Bechstein piano has a well-balanced feel in every part from high to low, and the pedal is not muddy, which is very suitable for people who have a very delicate musical process.

Steinway & Sons is more individualistic than Bechstein, and the bass must be as loud as the hand is. To be more precise, Bechstein's voice is very mellow and smooth, and it feels like there is a little less treble, but in fact, it is not necessarily less. The Steinway & Sons treble has a very distinct metal sound, which makes it appear to be very open. If we use the human voice as an analogy, one is the voice of a person in the prime of life, and the other is the voice of a young person.

In terms of music, Steinway's timbre was quite inappropriate for the Baroque. Therefore, many masters who use modern pianos to play Bach, Scarlatti, Ramo and Coupland have all kinds of dislike of it, and it has to be transformed before it can be used. Steinway is a piano with a flamboyant personality, and it is difficult for an introverted person to get along with it. De'Or's works are good with Bechstein's piano, while many modern works are more suitable with Steinway, and his watch is more suitable. So, Bechstein's only high-pitched metallic sound is not comparable to Steinway.

The French-Vietnamese pianist Deng Taisong played Beesendov, and the sound of the piano was extremely beautiful, and no pianist in China could make such a beautiful sound. The pianist Xu Feiping, who lived in the United States, resolutely refused to record with BΓΆsendorfer.

But at the end of the day, what kind of piano you use depends on personal preference. The European piano has a big characteristic, that is, it feels very heavy, and it seems very difficult to play for a long time. The same is true of Besendorfer and Bechstein's pianos, which are relatively heavy and many people cannot play.

But Cheng Xiaoyu liked Bechstein's almost perverted pursuit of details, so he finally chose Liszt's love. And he still remembers that the fancy platform piano that appeared in the movie "Pianist of the Sea" that he liked should be Bechstein.

So in fact, he already had a choice in his heart, Bechstein.

1900 did not disembark, but he would disembark, for the sake of the people he loved.
