Chapter 172: A Song of Daughters
Air-cushioned sofas, silk wall coverings, intricately carved handmade jewelry, soft and thick pure wool carpets, rich Colombian coffee, wonderful women around you, lazy afternoons, and this knowledgeable and elegant world-class musician in front of you, all these all kinds of qiΔ make this afternoon very comfortable.
The only obstacle is that this talkative piano master is very talkative, and when he talks about excitement, some strange words pop out of his mouth, which makes Ye Luo, who can only cope with daily English communication, scratch his head a little.
At this time, the female assistant on the side would immediately translate Richard's words into Chinese so that Ye Luo could understand.
chatted for more than an hour, all over the world, of course, more Richard said, Ye Luo listened, and in the end, the conversation was finally slowly led to the topic.
"Mr. Ye Luo, are you interested in writing a piano piece for me?" Richard smiled slightly, "I've been working on a solo piano album recently. β
Although the cooperation in the field of piano, Ye Luo is actually not cold, but this Richard gives him a very good impression, if it is just a song, then it should be a friend, so Ye Luo nodded: "Yes." β
"Why don't you let him play live." Song Yan said at this time, "Mr. Ye Luo, you have the ability to make songs on the spot. β
"Oh, really?" Richard was pleasantly surprised.
Ye Luo was not too modest this time, because he knew that Westerners were not interested in this, so he nodded, and then stood up.
Ye Luo's piano skills, although they are not as good as Song Yan, and they can't be compared with Richard, but they can be considered to be able to enter the room, at least play one tune, and the problem will not be too big.
Richard motioned for Ye Luoxian to wait, and then said to his assistant, "Aisha." Go get the music book. β
Ye Luo smiled slightly, it seems that this Mr. Richard, although he is also a producer of pop music, his behavior is still relatively old-fashioned.
Live notation is now mostly done with audio recordings. Then use the software in the computer to run, then it will be eight or nine without leaving ten, and then refine it.
Using a notation book to write music manually, Ye Luo had only heard of such a thing, and he had never tried it.
Moreover, the score of the piano is a stave, and it is very difficult to write down it on the spot.
"Mr. Ye Luo, play slower for a while." Richard took the notation. Smiled, "If it's too fast, I won't be able to keep up." β
Ye Luo nodded, although this Richard has a stunt, but after all, he is old, his memory is not so good, and writing with his hands on paper is definitely not as convenient as directly dropping his fingers on the piano keys.
This young junior plays the piano. As a world-class pianist, Richard personally wrote the notation by hand. This is a respect for his own skills, and Ye Luo is somewhat moved.
"Well, let me do it." Song Yan slowly stood up at this time.
"Oh? Miss Song will do this? Richard was a little surprised.
"Score shorthand, I've learned it before." Song Yan confidently walked up to Richard and took the notebook.
The writing desk was not far from the piano, and Song Yan walked over. Spread out the scorebook, picked up a pen from the pen holder on the desk, and then nodded to Yeluo: "Let's start." β
Ye Luo bowed slightly, and then sat down in front of the piano.
Since Song Yan can memorize music, Ye Luo doesn't plan to slow down the pace. This woman's memory of music is very amazing, and she is still above Qin Shiyue.
Ye Luo began to drop his fingers on the piano.
"Adrina at the Water's Edge".
This piece is a classic piano piece from another world, and now although Ye Luo is playing it for the first time, this piano piece is also very difficult, but he has a feeling of being handy.
Richard sat on the sofa by the piano, looking at Ye Luo and Song Yan.
This young Chinese musical genius made a very good impression on him. While they all have talents, the men are handsome and handsome, and the women are even more beautiful. At this time, the two of them sat opposite each other, one pointing on the keys and the other writing between the bookcases.
For Ye Luo's new song, Richard originally had some expectations in his heart, and he had seen Ye Luo's piano creation ability in the recording sent to him by Song Yan before, but when the first melody was played by Ye Luo, Richard was still surprised.
But soon, this surprise was diluted by the beautiful melody, and Richard slowly closed his eyes and began to enjoy it without distraction.
Wonderful times are always very short, and this song, which is less than three minutes, seems to be only a short moment in Richard's ears.
When the last note fell, Richard reluctantly opened his eyes, and then he found that his assistant Aisha also slowly opened a pair of beautiful eyes, and was about to applaud.
"Don't." Richard immediately stopped her and whispered, "Don't affect Miss Song's notation." β
Aisha immediately came to her senses and nodded.
Ye Luo finished playing the song and raised his head to look at Song Yan opposite.
At this time, Song Yan's eyebrows were slightly condensed, as if she was recalling the melody played by Ye Luo, but her hands did not stop, and the pen was flying on the paper.
The sunlight outside the window shines through the thin curtain, making Song Yan's hand that is writing bright white, and under the rapid writing, this little hand seems to be a constantly beating note.
Ye Luo didn't make a sound, just looked at Song Yan who was brushing the pen, and gradually fell into a trance.
It wasn't until Song Yan's hand stopped that Ye Luo woke up.
"Alright." Song Yan put down the pen, picked up the notation book in her hand with both hands, and sent it to Ye Luo's eyes, "Right?" β
Very beautiful staves, clear and accurate strokes, Ye Luo browsed up and down, and then put the notation book on the piano cover, and sighed: "It's exactly right, Song Yan, you have a good hand." β
The corners of Song Yan's mouth outlined a faint smile, but she didn't speak.
Richard came over, picked up the notebook in both hands, and exclaimed, "This is God's handiwork." Mr. Ye, Miss Song, thank you. β
"You're so polite." Ye Luo said modestly.
"Can I play it again?" Richard asked.
"Absolutely." Ye Luo smiled and returned to the sofa with Song Yan.
Richard placed the notebook on the piano music stand, flipped it back and forth, closed his eyes and thought about it for a while, then shook the fingers of his hands and began to play.
Richard said play again. But after I really got started, it was not like this, but over and over again, over and over again, as if I couldn't stop at all, and the look on my face was very intoxicated. Apparently in a state of self-forgetfulness.
This kind of world-class piano master, once you eat a piece thoroughly and then play it, it is really irresistible. Richard played it over and over again, Ye Luo and Song Yan listened to it over and over again, and before they knew it, the afternoon time was quietly flowing away in the sound of the piano.
It wasn't until the meal was about to be eaten that the assistant Aisha looked at her watch. He said to Richard, "Sir, it's time for you to get ready for the evening's show." β
"I love this piece so much." Richard stopped, "Mr. Ye, can I use this piece for the final repertoire of my concert tonight?" β
"Absolutely." Ye Luo smiled, "Since I gave you this song, you can use it whenever you want." β
"It's amazing." There was some excitement on Richard's face. Then he said, "Oh. I forgot to ask Mr. Ye, what is this piece called? β
βBalladepourAdelineγβ Ye Luo said a word in French, which is the original name of this piece.
Song Yan glanced at Ye Luo strangely, this guy, the name of the piano music is always inexplicable, and the last time he named it in English in front of him. This time, in front of the British, the name was in French.
This kind of pretending to be profound, it's really a bit hateful......
"A poem dedicated to Adelina?" Richard obviously didn't think as much as Song Yan, he repeated it in English, and continued. "If I'm not mistaken, Adelina is supposed to be a figure from Greek legend. She was originally a statue of a maiden, and the king of Cyprus fell in love with her, praying day and night for the miracle of love, which touched Aphrodite, the goddess of love, and the goddess of love gave life to the statue, so that the maiden and the king were finally married. β
"Mr. Richard is really well-read." Ye Luo said with a smile.
"I also admire Mr. Ye's cultural accomplishment. I didn't expect the inspiration for this piece to come from this way. Richard smiled, and then he changed his words: "However, Mr. Ye, we meet for the first time, and I can't ask for this song in vain." Chinese pay attention to courtesy and exchanges, and Mr. Ye gave me such a good song, I can't help but express it. Aisha. β
The female assistant reacted quickly and handed a checkbook to Richard, only to see Richard scribble an amount on the checkbook, tear it out and hand it to Ye Luo: "Please accept it." β
Seeing the solemn look on Richard's face, Ye Luo didn't refuse, took the check and put it in his pocket, then got up and said, "In this case, we won't hinder Mr. Richard from preparing for tonight's performance." Leave. β
"Okay, we'll see you in the evening." Richard stood up and shook hands warmly with Ye Luo.
β¦β¦
Back in the suite, as soon as she entered the door, Yu Yiyi rushed over and jumped beside Ye Luo: "Wow, instructor, you are so amazing!" β
Ye Luo looked at Yu Yiyi inexplicably.
"I heard the piano next door in the afternoon!" Yu Yiyi explained with a smile, "It's so good, it's your new tune, right?" β
"Just your ears." Ye Luo couldn't cry or laugh.
"Haha, was Richard shocked by you?" Yu Yiyi asked.
"Where can I shake people." Ye Luo said, "Compared with him, I'm still far behind. β
"But what I saw was that he was suppressed by you." Song Yan said, "Let's take a look at the amount on the check, right?" I don't think you have to cry poor in front of me in the future. β
"Although Richard is a master, he is a Westerner after all, and he likes to go straight too much." Ye Luo complained while slowly taking out the check in his pocket, "It's a good song, why exchange it with money, it's really a burning piano and boiling cranes, and cows chewing peonies......"
Halfway through speaking, Ye Luo couldn't go on, because he found that there were far more zeros on the check than he expected.
"A million...... USD! Yu Yiyi's eyes widened, and then she said excitedly, "Instructor, you have made a fortune!" β
"Shhhh Be quiet, and don't let the next door hear. Ye Luo glanced at Yu Yiyi, "You should also be from a big family, don't be so unproductive, look at me, how calm." β
"Oh." Yu Yiyi lowered her head, then raised her head again and asked, "Instructor, why is your hand holding the check shaking?" β
"I'm tired of playing the piano."
"......" (To be continued......)
