Chapter 156: He's Already This Far?
Hearing the voice, Liu Yufan stopped.
Looking back, An Quantao's face with a middle surname changed from his previous indifference at this moment, and was replaced by a kind of seriousness that was close to his eyes.
This kind of gaze made Liu Yufan very uncomfortable, thinking about his "surname" name and the expression of his middle surname, Liu Yufan suddenly felt some goosebumps on his body.
"Kwon Tao, what's the matter?" Liu Yufan tried to expel that uncomfortable feeling, looked at An Quantao and asked.
"I want to talk to you." Ahn Kwon said bluntly, in stark contrast to his feminine expression.
"Hehe, okay, no problem." Liu Yufan naturally knew what this guy wanted to talk to him. Judging from his performance just now, I'm afraid he also learned from a famous master, and seeing his own performance just now, this guy is curious, and it's normal.
In fact, looking at An Quantao, Liu Yufan also has a feeling of meeting a "bosom friend", of course, purely about music. When I was in the selection before, I saw so many unreliable performances, only An Quantao's performance just now was the most visible, Liu Yufan is sure that this guy also received a very formal music education. It's a little more intimate in my heart.
And at this moment, he is "talking" to himself, most of which is also about piano. Since this is the case, Liu Yufan is naturally happy to accept it.
"Let's go, go to the auditorium, didn't you just get the key? In the entire Fu'an No. 1 Middle School, the piano in the auditorium is barely enough, and the others are too rubbish. Ahn said.
"Hehe, no problem, I haven't seen the grand piano in the auditorium, it's good to try the feel." Liu Yufan said with a smile. In fact, An Quan didn't say anything, he also intended to go to the auditorium just now. After all, I just got the key. Compared with the practice piano in the piano room, the grand piano in the auditorium was undoubtedly more attractive to him.
Two people walked one after the other, walking through the paths of the campus. At the beginning of the school year, the first all-school assembly was held in the auditorium, and the two of them were familiar with each other.
It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and even by the dim light of the street lamps, the road still seemed a little shadowy and unclear.
Walking up the steps, the two men came to the main entrance of the auditorium on the second floor. Liu Yufan took out the key to Huang Chengcheng, fumbled to open the door, and then walked into the auditorium, fumbled on the wall, and turned on the lights above the stage.
"Smack!" With a bang, a faint white light lit up, shining on the yellow wooden floor of the stage, shining with a soft glow.
On the side of the stage, a black Yamaha triangle is glowing with a black luster, looking at the piano, Liu Yufan and An Quantao's eyes are full of excitement. That's the kind of eye that only people who really like the piano will see.
But at this moment, the two of them had a tacit understanding that they did not touch the piano, but each found a place to sit down under the stage.
After being silent for a while, An Quantao spoke first.
"Liu Yufan, you play the piano very well." An Quantao seemed to have made a lot of determination to say this.
"Thank you, hehe, in fact, you played well." Liu Yufan said with a smile. He said this in his heart, although the K330 that An Quantao just played, although it is a big difference in technical difficulty with the "Yellow River" he played, but judging from the professional and standardized techniques and comfortable expression he showed, his real level may be far from this.
"You're better than me." An Quantao said without hesitation. Looking at Liu Yufan, his eyes flashed with excitement, which was a kind of look that only when he really met an opponent.
Without waiting for Liu Yufan to answer, he continued: "I thought that there would be no people like me in the entire Fu'an No. 1 Middle School, hehe, it seems that I still underestimated the heroes of the world." But it's okay to save these three years of loneliness. An Quantao said, suddenly looked at Liu Yufan, and said seriously: "Re-acquaintance, An Quantao, from East Street in Fu'an Town, my piano teacher is Yin Chengzong." ”
"What?!" Listening to the second half of An Quantao's words, Liu Yufan showed an unbelievable look on his face.
"You said your teacher was Yin Chengzong? The one at the Central Conservatory of Music? Liu Yufan asked in a hurried tone, with a look of disbelief on his face.
And it's no wonder. Everyone who has studied piano knows that Yin Chengzong is a figure like Taishan Beidou in the Chinese piano world, and the song "Defending the Yellow River" played by Liu Yufan in the music classroom before was mainly written by Yin Chengzong. Such a legendary figure is actually the teacher of the guy in front of him?
But immediately, Liu Yufan was also relieved. This guy's performance when he played K330 was so professional before, and he got a reasonable explanation at the moment. There is such a teacher who is coaxing the bull, and playing to this level can only be said to be average.
"yes, hehe, I've let you down. I have only studied with Mr. Yin for more than a year, and if I was in front of outsiders, I would be embarrassed to say that he was his student. Ahn said frankly.
"Actually, you're already playing pretty well." Liu Yufan realized that what he said before seemed to be a bit shocking, and immediately changed his words.
"Don't comfort me, after listening to your "Defending the Yellow River", I realized that there are really people outside the sky, I really didn't expect to meet a master like you here. By the way, I've just told myself, so it's time for you to introduce me to your teacher. An Quantao said with a smile. At the moment, he doesn't seem to have the kind of indifference shown in the dormitory, and it seems that this guy's attitude also varies from person to person. His arrogance is probably because of his piano skills, and now when he sees Liu Yufan, who is stronger than him, he immediately loses his temper and becomes easy to get along with.
"Hehe, my teacher is not as famous as yours. I first learned from Teacher Jiang Ya, and later studied with Teacher Mo Yan in Jianghai. Liu Yufan said with a smile. Since people were so open and honest from the beginning, they were embarrassed to hide anything anymore.
"Jiang Ya? I know, but that Mo Yan doesn't know. But I think your piano skills were mainly learned from Mo Yan. Ms. Jiang is a very good teacher, and I studied with her for a while before. But to be honest, she's not going to be able to teach a student like you. Ahn said frankly.
"You are also with Sister Ya~~ Oh no, Mr. Jiang has studied piano, so speaking of which, we are still brothers. Well, but you're right, when Teacher Jiang Ya taught me, I was still in the stage of laying the foundation, and my later piano skills were indeed learned from Teacher Mo. Liu Yufan said with a smile.
"I really can't imagine that in our Jianghai, there are such powerful teachers. If you hadn't told me about it yourself, I wouldn't have believed it. Just because you just played the part of "Defending the Yellow River", I'm afraid even if my teacher sees it, he will be very satisfied. An Quantao said with a smile.
"Don't, I don't have the courage to play "Defending the Yellow River" in front of your teacher, that song was written by him, where do I dare to show it in front of him." Liu Yufan shook his hand again and again and said. Just kidding, looking at the whole of China, few people dare to play the "Yellow River" piano concerto in front of Yin Chengzong. Even if he is not very famous now, but Lang Lang, who is about to become popular, I am afraid that he does not have the confidence. Speaking of the "Yellow River" piano concerto, there is no more authoritative one in the whole of China than Yin Chengzong.
"Alright, let's stop flattering each other here. Make a friend! An Quan smiled and stretched out his hand and raised his chin at Liu Yufan.
Looking at An Quantao's white and tender hand with a female surname, Liu Yufan hesitated for a moment before reaching out and shaking it.
"Make a friend!" Liu Yufan also smiled and nodded at him. In the three years of high school, with such a person of a similar level as a companion, especially in a dormitory, at least it will not be so lonely.
"I haven't heard enough of your performance just now, so let's play one of your best plays, and let me see how good you are." Ahn Quan said with a smile and pointed to the piano on the stage.
"Okay, no problem, but it's okay, one person plays one song, and you have to come after I finish playing." Liu Yufan said with a smile.
"Be sure to accompany you!" An Quan said with a smile.
Liu Yufan nodded at him with a smile, and then went up the stage from the steps on one side and walked to the Yamaha piano.
The pitch-black and shiny body is clean and dusty, and it can be seen that it is often maintained.
Liu Yufan pulled out the piano bench, sat in front of the piano, reached out and opened the lid, and a row of shiny black and white keys immediately appeared in front of him.
Gently stroking this row of keys, Liu Yufan felt an irrepressible urge to play in his heart. After all, this was the first time he had played on such a grand piano.
His arms were raised slightly, and then he landed on the keys, and an ethereal sound like wind chimes sounded, echoing on the stage.
These few simple notes, but An Quan's heart was shocked!
This is ~~ Liszt Paganini's ~~ bell?!
This guy, has he reached this point? An Quantao's face was full of disbelief!
Liszt Paganini's Bell, known as one of the most difficult etudes in the world, is a masterpiece of brilliant and magnificent piano technique, full of more than ten degrees of broken intervals, intersecting octaves, and trills...... It can be said that people who have never played this piece can't imagine how difficult it is!
An Quantao has been learning piano with Yin Chengzong for more than a year, and he has studied since he was a child, and his foundation is relatively solid, but he still has a feeling of daunting for this piece. He once watched his teacher play it once, and it can be said that even at the level of Teacher Yin, playing this piece requires full attention. At the beginning, the hand that was full of keyboards and could not see the shadow clearly, that shocking scene he still can't forget.
But now, the same song, the person who played it became Liu Yufan, who was about the same age as him, although he knew that the other party was better than him, but when he saw the other party playing this song that he couldn't even think of, An Quantao's face was still full of frustration.
The prelude seems simple, but Ahn knows that this is just a precursor to a storm.
