――――――――――
The crowd was lively again.
"Good!"
"Little leaf, it's up to you!"
"Liu Qi, you are the best!" A few girls in the picture are screaming desperately with straight voices.
"The best? Still shameless? Yes? We haven't played yet! Little leaf, take out your skills and give those stupid X's a little color! Otherwise, be careful that I throw your sheets downstairs. Quack! ”
Li Aoxiang's male duck shouted unscrupulously, ignoring Liu Qi, Zhang Shaojie and other people who were already full of dark clouds.
Ye Zi shook his head speechlessly, leaned over and picked up the guitar.
"Since Liu Qi wants to test my performance, then I'll ・・・・・・ give it a try."
――――――――――
Sitting on the ground facing Yin Lihua, Ye Zi's left leg was slightly bent, his right leg was straightened, and the guitar was reclining between his left leg and chin, leaning against his chest.
Ye Zi's posture is not standardized, far from Liu Qi's authentic classical guitar performance, and it seems extremely casual. But in an environment like tonight, it makes people feel more comfortable and harmonious. In the eyes of some students, such as Yin Lihua and 324 and 611, this posture even has a bit of a chic flavor.
Yin Lihua sat on the grass with her hands on her knees, her chin resting on her knees, her eyes kept staring at Ye Zi's side, and she didn't want to miss a millisecond of the moment.
Tonight's happiness came so suddenly that until now, the girl is still in a trance, half-dreaming and half-awake, with a heart that flickers with joy and sweetness, resentment and resentment, up and down, and has no idea where she is tonight.
On the grass, a crowd of people sitting or standing, quietly waiting for the performance to begin.
Gently resting his hands on the guitar, Ye Zi turned his head to look at the girl not far away, and a trace of tenderness quietly crept into his heart.
Smiling at Yin Lihua, Ye Zi then closed his eyes. Hold the little finger of your left hand on the seventh fret of the treble E string, and touch the ring, middle, and index fingers of your right hand on the three outside strings of the guitar in order. Place your thumb on the bass E string and press down firmly.
――――――――――
A thick and calm bass kicked off the whole piece. The sound was like a heavy drum, and it rang out in everyone's heart. In the crowd, all the people were shaken, and the whole spirit seemed to be more concentrated with the sound of this low voice.
After the bass, the ensuing melody, against the backdrop of clear and pure triplet broken chords, slowly begins to tell a poignant and moving love story.
Tell? That's right!
Ye Zi's performance is listening to everyone's ears, and it is slowly telling.
The uniform triplet accompaniment pattern is one of the biggest features of this piece. Ye Zi's triplet does not adopt a completely uniform mechanical speed like Liu Qi, but uses the main melody of the first step of the three-tone decomposition chord as the main body, and its time value is slightly longer and the volume is slightly increased, while the second and third decomposed accompaniment is relatively compact and slightly smaller, so that the distinction between melody and accompaniment is immediately clear, coupled with the appropriate kneading of the left hand, the effect is the feeling of pouring out now.
The guitar in Ye Zi's hand seemed to be alive, and he was using his warm and moist voice to tell and sing euphemistically and affectionately in everyone's ears.
The melody marched to the third beat of the fourth measure, and Ye Zi slowed down slightly, and with a slow but extremely soft portamento, the melody was pushed to the treble part at once. Then, he immediately sped up a little speed, and the bass of his thumb also increased a little more dynamically, and the emotion of the whole piece was immediately pushed up.
The crowd was so quiet!
Everyone unconsciously held their breath, for fear that any accidental sound would affect Ye Zi's performance that he was currently doing.
The melody is like a meandering river, flowing slowly forward. Compared with Liu Qi's performance just now, at first glance, Ye Zi's performance seemed to be a little unstable, rushing forward a little for a while, and delaying a little for a while. But this melody, which does not sound particularly even, flows naturally forward like the march of the river, zigzag and unstoppable.
This same melody seemed to have magic in Ye Zi's hands, between light and heavy, fast and slow, tightly grasping the ears of every student present, as well as their whole body and mind.
Even Zhang Shaojie, who was not on the same page as Ye Zi, closed his eyes at the moment and listened attentively to Ye Zi's performance. I'm afraid that in his inner world, he is also unwilling to destroy such a beautiful melody!
As the A section came to an end, Ye Zi opened his eyes.
He didn't pay attention to the hands he was playing, but turned his head and looked at Yin Lihua, who was sitting beside him, with infinite tenderness in his eyes.
The melody shifts to section B.
Ye Zi slowed down the speed of the performance again, in order to slow down the speed of guò, so that the inner tension of the melody could be fully released.
His right hand leaned forward slightly, and instead of staying in the center of the soundhole on the panel, he came to the edge of the soundhole. The triplet touches of the index, middle, and ring fingers of the right hand are completely carried out with the belly of the fingers, and there is no longer a little nail contact as in the A section. At the same time, the kneading of the left hand is lighter, and the amplitude is slightly larger.
In this way, the whole melody is more soft and deep, and the timbre is slightly darker, which is completely in line with the direction of the music itself. In addition, while Ye Zi was playing, he was looking at Yin Lihua affectionately. The bright moon and breeze, the four eyes communicate, the sound of the piano and the picture water/milk/blend/blend! This scene immediately intoxicated all the female students present tonight.
After section B, Ye Zi once again accelerated back to section A.
After 16 measures, Ye Zi ended the whole piece without any delay with a soft arpeggio behind the descending melody composed of three bass.
The aftermath dissipated, and the crowd remained silent.
In the clear night sky, the moon has turned west.
――――――――――
After only listening to Ye Zi's performance of two or three bars, Liu Qi's heart was already overturned.
He knew he had lost tonight!
After all, he is a disciple of the master, and Liu Qi's appreciation of classical guitar performance is far higher than that of other students around him. When all the classmates just thought that Ye Zi's performance was particularly good, he already knew that Ye Zi's performance was more than just good.
In this piece, Ye Zi played it completely according to the score, without any changes, nor any improvisation, and of course, without adding additional embellishments such as prelude and interlude.
In the whole piece, Ye Zi just made a few contrasts and changes in terms of speed, light and shade, light and heavy, strength and weakness according to the marks on the score. But it is such a small contrast and change that gives the whole piece of music a earth-shaking change.
Liu Qi was extremely reluctant to find that he couldn't put forward any opinions on Ye Zi's performance just now. And now I can't do the same performance.
This made Liu Qi extremely frustrated!
Compared with Ye Zi's simple but fascinating performance, Liu Qi's performance just now was like putting a gorgeous coat on top of a shriveled body. After stripping away the beautiful embellishments of the prelude and interlude, the shriveled body is still so shriveled!
With such a simple and very low difficulty piece, Ye Zi was able to play such a high-quality level without any additional embellishments on the premise of the music itself, which even made Liu Qi think of his teacher. When Maestro Yepes demonstrated this piece to Liu Qi, his performance was also so unpretentious but timeless.
Liu Qi clearly knows that although Ye Zi's current performance level cannot be compared with a generation of masters, he has won a lot compared to himself! At least in the performance of the music, Ye Zi has completely surpassed himself and really found the right direction and path. This is a deep understanding and perfect interpretation of the content, emotion, philosophy, and ideology contained in the music. This is the right direction and path that the world music scene is all advocating. But what about yourself? To this day, he is still immersed in the special atmosphere of the Chinese music scene, and still stays in the blind worship and pursuit of music performance skills.
If Teacher Yepes sees tonight's competition, I'm afraid he will also decide that Ye Zi wins, right?! Liu Qi's heart suddenly flooded with such a helpless thought.
Realizing this, this makes Liu Qi, who has always been conceited and proud, and who claims to be the leader of the younger generation of classical guitar performance in the Chinese music scene, how embarrassing!
――――――――――
Syllable!
Bang Bang!!
Bang Bang Bang !!
Wow!!! ・・・・・・
・・・・・・
The crowd immersed in the world of music gradually awakens. The applause quickly went from one or two to ten, twenty, dozens, and finally converged into a sea of applause. Everyone was clapping their hands vigorously, as if if they didn't do so, it would not be enough to express their love and welcome for Ye Zi's performance just now.
Yin Lihua's cheeks were flushed, her eyes were shining, and her smile was like a flower. The girl also kept clapping her hands, she could really feel the affection conveyed by Ye Zi in the sound of the piano, and the whole person was so happy that she seemed to fly.
"Great, Ye Zi!"
"Didn't say that! It's better than Liu Qi! ”
"Well played! Little leaf, your sheets are saved! Quack! ”
・・・・・・
Li Aoxiang and 324 and 611 were jumping and howling there, extremely excited. This guy is still thinking about Ye Zi's poor sheets!
The eldest sister didn't have the momentum of the queen just now, at this moment, she was standing with Ning Chunhong, Deng Lijun and others, and the three "old women" were holding hands and screaming desperately.
Wang Jun's little sister stood beside them and smiled loudly, one hand on the shoulder of the eldest sister's head, and the two beautiful bent into a crescent moon.
Everyone stood a little farther away, except for Zhang Shaojie, everyone else was helplessly applauding and cheering for Ye Zi's performance just now.
With such a wonderful performance, there was no reason why they should not applaud.
Ye Zi stood up, faced the crowd, and kept bowing in thanks.
"Let's have another one!"
"Yes, yes! Ye Zi, one more! ”
"One more!"
"One more!!"
・・・・・・
Time passed little by little, but the applause did not stop at all, and the shouts of "one more" became louder and louder.
――――――――――
Liu Qi's face was pale, and he clenched his fists tightly.
Although in his heart, he had already admitted that he had lost tonight's competition, but he saw that these people, who were still applauding and cheering for his performance not long ago, were now cheering for the performance of their opponents, and their opponents were obviously more popular than his own. This kind of taste has never been tried in Liu Qitian's young life of being eighteen years old.
Bitter? Astringent? Sour? ・・・・・・
Embarrass? Defy? ・・・・・・
Envy? Eat one's heart out? Hate? ・・・・・・
Perhaps, there are some.
――――――――――
Ye Zi bowed and bowed again, and finally quieted down the crowd.
Walking in front of Liu Qi, Ye Zi's attitude was very serious and sincere: "Liu Qi, please correct my performance." ”
This sentence is indeed from the heart.
In any case, Liu Qi has extremely high musical literacy and performance standards, this is certain. Ye Zi really hopes that Liu Qi can put forward some deficiencies in his performance. All the nutrients that can help him grow are what Ye Zi needs most now.
Moreover, he has already won the battle, and there is no need to show Xiàn to get a small belly chicken intestine.
Liu Qi was silent, his heart was rolling, and his face was extremely ugly. He really wanted to turn around and walk away.
Regarding Ye Zi's performance, Liu Qi really can't say anything famous. If you make up some reasons to deduct a little point, with such a big expert as Ye Zi here, the crowd around you is by no means so easy to fool. If you can't say a solid reason, Liu Qi will be even more embarrassed. Besides, with Liu Qi's identity, if he loses the competition, he loses, which is nothing. If he loses but doesn't admit it, it will bring shame on his family. But the three words "I lost" lingered in Liu Qi's heart for a long time, but he couldn't say it out of his mouth.
At this moment, even Ye Zi's sincere words of asking for advice turned into a deliberate humiliation, which was so harsh in Liu Qi's ears that he was even more resentful.
This admitting defeat is even more unspeakable.
Liu Qi's silence made the crowd of onlookers start to heckle on the side. For a while, the shouts of "admitting defeat" and "admitting defeat" came and went, which made Liu Qi's heart even more resentful and embarrassing.
Although everyone has the heart to cheer for Liu Qi, there are many people around who support Ye Zi, and their 20 or so voices are obviously powerless to compare with so many people. Moreover, they were also deeply moved by Ye Zi's performance, even if the two sides were on a hostile position, they could not say that Liu Qi's performance surpassed Ye Zi's words. They could only surround Liu Qi in the same silence, hoping to use such an attitude to cheer up their classmates. It's just that judging from Liu Qi's getting worse and worse face, such a move is also ineffective.
Compared with Liu Qi, there is one person who is more reluctant to admit defeat in silence.
In the noise of the crowd raising the seedlings, a voice suddenly shouted.
"Throw in the towel? What do you lose? Yes? ”
"Who said that we Liu Qi lost? Why? If you want me to say that Liu Qi should have won! ”
