Chapter 421: Waltz of the Blue Moon (Extra 1/2)
Feng Kaiyi studied Cheng Xiaoyu's "Liang Zhu", and also watched Cheng Xiaoyu's "Light of Music" video, consciously know Cheng Xiaoyu's composition level well, and has long classified Cheng Xiaoyu as a genius-type inspired composer, although he has talent, but the mastery of classical composition techniques is still only in the ignorant stage, completely relying on talent and intuitive composition, so he is not afraid of Cheng Xiaoyu's challenge at all, for him has always lacked the opportunity to show his works, he glanced at Chen Mumu who was standing on the side, and there was some little excitement in his heart, he came to the salon purely for her, there is no such a better opportunity for him to express himself。
Thinking of this, Feng Kaiyi couldn't help but smile at Cheng Xiaoyu and said, "I don't dare to ask for it." In fact, at this moment, he is still a little grateful to Cheng Xiaoyu in his heart.
Cheng Xiaoyu looked at Feng Kaiyi, who was full of sour and rotten words and had an attitude of contempt for all beings, and felt that he was a little ridiculous, and was just about to ask where there was a piano, Xu Ziqi, the proprietress of the book bar standing on the side, said excitedly, "There is a piano downstairs." She has always watched the excitement and not think it was a big deal, especially this kind of high-level "piano fighting", which is rare in movies, let alone in ordinary life? Although strictly speaking, it is not appropriate to say "douqin", after all, the two people are competing for composition ability, not the playing skills compared by "fighting the qin".
Cheng Xiaoyu didn't make a sound, but Lin Xi asked in a worried whisper, "Okay?" Although Feng Kaiyi is a little arrogant, as a proud disciple of Tu Yan, he naturally has real talent and learning. Although Lin Xi knew that her student was a genius, after all, she had never studied composition professionally, and she didn't want Cheng Xiaoyu to be hit, so she didn't compose music anymore, and her responsibility was great, after all, she failed to protect her students.
Cheng Xiaoyu turned his head to look at Lin Xi, who looked a little nervous, nodded and said calmly: "For me, fighting with the piano is instinctive, don't ask me if it's okay to ask questions, but ask me if I'm willing." ”
As soon as Cheng Xiaoyu's battle declaration with a B index as high as five stars came out, the onlookers were ignited at once, and they couldn't wait to see what kind of work the author of "Liang Zhu", who started to be low-key and now pretended to be B.
Xu Ziqi couldn't help but take a few more glances at this best friend's student when she heard this, she originally liked "Liang Zhu" very much, but she was a little disappointed after seeing Cheng Xiaoyu, because she was far from the stumbling teenager she imagined, but at this time, Cheng Xiaoyu's response made her see a silent and lonely genius.
Chang Yue and Wu Fan were also a little nervous for Cheng Xiaoyu, the two of them looked at Cheng Xiaoyu who was standing in the center of their sight with sweaty hands, and their hearts went up and down, after all, they were the ones who brought Cheng Xiaoyu to the "salon", and if it was unpleasant, it would really be a debt to Cheng Xiaoyu. Although they knew that Cheng Xiaoyu was very powerful, after all, the other party was a graduate student who followed a famous teacher! Although Feng Kaiyi accepted the invitation and fell behind, this was Cheng Xiaoyu's initiative, and it was no wonder that others were wrong.
Pei Yanchen is very confident in Cheng Xiaoyu, she has heard Cheng Xiaoyu play different tunes countless times that she doesn't know, and it is expected that they are all Cheng Xiaoyu's works, although she doesn't know what Feng Kaiyi's level is, but she knows that Cheng Xiaoyu's composition level is very high, so high that she looks up. Thinking of hearing Cheng Xiaoyu playing the piano again, her heart was actually a little excited, but her face was still disdainful and indifferent.
A group of people walked downstairs, and Xu Ziqi also affectionately carried Cheng Xiaoyu downstairs with Lin Xi at this time, wearing a cheongsam "Luowei" Xu Ziqi, the owner of the book bar, looks like a woman in SH high society with pride and conceit, and will look down at men with a sharp chin like an awl, which forms a strong contrast with Lin Xi with a completely different temperament on the other side.
Cheng Xiaoyu was treated so ceremoniously but was a little distressed, this was not enjoyment at all for him, because the two women didn't treat him as a man, they just treated him as a child, and ******** could only remain restrained on the side, which made Cheng Xiaoyu a little red-faced.
Pei Yanchen followed not far behind to see such a scene, and her heart was quite uncomfortable, if she had a wooden sword in her hand at this moment, she was afraid that she would be happy to split Cheng Xiaoyu in half.
Downstairs to the book bar on the first floor, the front hall is a bookshelf, there are hanging chairs and a table with yellow pear wood by the window, and a group of people walk to the end of the front hall, there is a larger dining room, which can be used for reading and drinking tea, but also for dining. In the center of the restaurant is a small table with a Yamaha grand piano on it. At this time, it was a weekend and Saturday, and there were already a lot of people in the book bar, and suddenly twenty or thirty people came in, and it seemed crowded at once.
Xu Ziqi, as the boss, first explained a few words loudly to the audience, and the audience applauded even more when they heard that there was a free lively view, and they did not complain that the restaurant was occupied by people at the moment.
Feng Kaiyi, who walked to the piano, said to Cheng Xiaoyu, who looked very childish, "How can you compare?"
Cheng Xiaoyu thought for a while and said, "Play your own works at will, according to the rules of the bar, one song per person, whoever gets more roses will be the winner." ”
Feng Kaiyi frowned and said, "One song per person, I'm afraid it won't explain anything, right?" He was not afraid of losing, but wanted to play a few more works to show off, one of which was written for Chen Mumu, and he planned to take this opportunity to play it.
Cheng Xiaoyu said indifferently: "Then three songs." ”
Feng Kaiyi said, "Okay." He nodded, reminiscing about his recent writings.
Feng Kaiyi then asked, "Who comes first?"
Cheng Xiaoyu said, "It doesn't matter. ”
"Then I'll go first!" Feng Kaiyi said pretending to be generous. For this kind of piano composition competition, the later players naturally have an advantage, of course, this advantage is negligible.
Xu Ziqi saw that Feng Kaiyi and Cheng Xiaoyu had discussed the rules, and like the host, he said loudly to all the people in the restaurant, including that guests can participate in voting, but for the sake of fairness, everyone is limited to one rose, and it costs fifty yuan to vote. Spending money to vote is not to make money, but to raise the threshold for voting, and some guests in the province will vote irresponsibly.
Feng Kaiyi shook his hair, pretended to be chic and walked up to the table where the piano was placed, uncovered the lid, lifted the ponytail on his shoulder, then sat on the stool, adjusted his position slightly, and stretched out his hand to play a few notes at will. As a highly talented student in the composition department, playing the piano well is the basic requirement, although Cheng Xiaoyu has won Chopin, but Feng Kaiyi is not afraid of him at all, the music is not good, what is the use of playing well?
Feng Kaiyi sat down in front of the piano and first explained with affection, "The first song I played was "Blue Moon Waltz" (no such piece), and the creative technique was mainly based on repetition and modulation. This creative technique helps to express emotions and expresses a kind of persistence. At the same time, its combination with the descending pattern also produces sentimental colors. The constant repetition and modulation of the same theme or motive is presented in different keys, creating a sense of stagnation. Starting from the same place, no matter how much you change and return to the same place, it is a kind of expression that the composer cannot get rid of the bad luck to pursue the happiness he once had, and cannot free himself. When Feng Kaiyi expressed his creative concept, he began to immerse himself in a sad atmosphere, and his expression was a little solemn and sad.
When Feng Kaiyi's fingertips began to jump on the black and white keys, and the beautiful piano tone echoed in the restaurant, the whole restaurant fell silent for a moment.
The people who come to the "Luowei Book Bar" are not only students, but also white-collar workers who have some taste and requirements for the details of life, because the consumption of "Luowei" is not very low, although most of the audience is incompetent in classical piano appreciation, but Feng Kaiyi is not a fool, he chose a very sentimental and moving waltz that is easy to resonate with and imitates Chopin's waltz.
The music begins with a sub-note in E major, and on the syncopated bass background, the treble gradually plays a polyphonic melody, and the initial melody is played with a soft song-like love xù, and the simple harmonic pattern is like a melodious flute sound floating in the distance, which is the theme tone of the work. The melody is like a slow song, and it softly sings a ballad of yearning and nostalgia for beauty.
The four voices seem to be more able to express this deep emotion, and the changes in speed and dynamics are used to better express this singing melody, and the melodious sound of the piano echoes in the restaurant like a heavenly sound.
At this moment, many people in the restaurant were moved by this beautiful melody and listened carefully. There was only the slight sound of the pages being blown by the wind in the whole restaurant, and most of the audience was fascinated.
This kind of expression also made Lin Xi frown, of course, she knows that the texture of Feng Kaiyi's whole piece is generally a harmonic texture, and each voice in the multi-part work revolves around the main theme of setting off and foiling, with obvious polyphonic factors, although it is an imitation of Chopin's waltz, but it also reflects a high degree of classical technique. And in terms of performance, among them, the multi-part different timbre and control zhì are particularly beautiful, and it is obvious that Feng Kaiyi's skills in performance are not weak. This made her a little worried about her students.
After Feng Kaiyi finished the song, he stood up and bowed to the audience elegantly, and the audience applauded thunderously, and the whole restaurant felt that it was worth it to have such a wonderful performance.
Feng Kaiyi was also very satisfied with his appearance, Shi Shiran walked down, and glanced at Cheng Xiaoyu with a smile.
Cheng Xiaoyu's face was as calm as water, without the slightest panic or surprise.
