"Hey, I said Xiaoya, your little lover, isn't it authentic, you are young, how can you have a heart for yourself." In the evening, in a special small restaurant in Fu'an, Jiang Ya picked up Li Xiaoling, and the two of them didn't eat a few bites, and Li Xiaoling couldn't help complaining.

"Go, I can't stop you when I eat, why a little lover, it's so ugly, where did our family Yufan provoke you, his mouth is so poisonous to you!" Jiang Ya glanced at Li Xiaoling angrily and said, then took a piece of snow-white fish meat from the steaming fish pot, dipped it in the broth, put it in her mouth and chewed it with a look of enjoyment. The fish pot here is particularly authentic and is a must in Fu'an. The local residents of Fu'an City rarely know and have not tasted the delicious food here.

Since the afternoon "negotiation" was "sly" delayed by Liu Yufan, this guy has run away. Li Xiaoling asked, but Jiang Ya only said that he had been busy with the transfer of schools recently, so he might have gone through the formalities. In fact, this is half true and half false, Liu Yufan has been really busy with this matter in the past two days, but he doesn't see these two, but there are more ingredients of "hanging appetite".

Although Liu Yufan can be regarded as a "quasi-musician", this does not prevent him from having a simple businessman's thinking, and he still understands the truth of "waiting for the price to sell". At the moment, Times Records and Rolling Stone Records are very enthusiastic about their new songs, so it's time to get colder, don't let them think that things are easy to come by, so that the value of the songs can go up. Of course, Liu Yufan dares to say this, which also stems from his confidence in "New Kangding Love Song".

Although compared to "On the Moon", the song "New Kangding Love Song" is adapted from a known song, and it seems to be a little deficient in the fresh surname, but Liu Yufan doesn't think so. This piece is very ingenious in terms of orchestration and the use of Chinese drums, and the effect is also very shocking. From his point of view, the market potential of this piece is even thicker than that song "On the Moon", after all, the background of this piece is deeper.

At this moment, Liu Yufan was hiding in Mo Yan's house, learning piano skills with Senior Sister Mo Xi, who met for the first time, and they had a very happy conversation.

The Curtis Institute of Music is relatively flexible, and as long as you complete the credits within the specified time, you can get a diploma. Mo Xi is an honor student at the Curtis Institute of Music, and her credits have already been almost completed, and if she wants, she can go back at any time and pass a few simple exams to get her graduation certificate. The biggest gain of returning to China this time is to reunite with his father, Mo Xi has lived in Mo Yan's house for the past two days, enjoying rare family warmth.

In front of Mo Yan's Steinway piano, a pair of white and tender hands are flying over the keys, bringing up a series of gorgeous and unbelievable notes, this is Chopin's "Butterfly Etudes", although the difficulty is not high, but it is very difficult to test the basic skills of the fingers.

Liu Yufan watched quietly and thoughtfully from the side.

After playing the song, Mo Xi got up and smiled at him.

"Sister Xi, I don't really understand, the way you play the keys seems to be different from what Teacher Mo told me." Liu Yufan said, sat down in front of the piano, and stretched out his hand to play a short fragment of "Butterfly Etude", which was a short rapid arpeggio progression.

When Mo Xi was playing this section just now, the hand shape was very exaggerated, almost five fingers were open, the fingers were completely stretched out, and the place where the keys were touched was almost the entire fingertips, from the perspective of traditional piano performance, such a gesture was really incredible, it was simply deviant!

However, Mo Xi told Liu Yufan that when he was in school, his tutor said that this is a new style of playing, which involves many mechanical principles, which can not only make playing easier, but also obtain a richer and more varied timbre.

At this moment, Liu Yufan was playing in front of the piano, although it was the same melody, but Liu Yufan's hands in front of the piano were completely different in shape from Mo Xi just now.

His hands are small rake-like, the palmar key of each finger is prominent, when changing the position, no matter how fast, the hand shape will not change much, the active is only the fingers, more specifically, the metacarpal joints of the fingers.

This is the standard Russian academic play, and it is also the most orthodox play. Mo Yan taught Liu Yufan for three years, and the two issues he emphasized the most, one was hand shape and the other was weight. The strict requirements almost made Liu Yufan's hand shape an instinctive reaction.

And the position of his touch on the key is always only the first half of the finger belly, and when it comes to the rapid progress of the dense sequence, it will change to the fingertip. His arms are natural and smooth, and he clearly uses his weight very well, without a hint of tension and waste.

However, after watching Liu Yufan finish playing this short paragraph, Mo Xi shook his head, leaned on the piano and looked at Liu Yufan and said, "Yufan, there is no problem with your performance in terms of technique, but you are too limited to tradition." Perhaps your way of playing is very suitable for classical works, but in the face of modern pianos with more freedom of technique, richer sound and more tension, this way of playing is very limited. Don't be limited by the hand shape, my instructor once said that there is no standard or non-standard hand shape, only comfortable and uncomfortable hand, only the most comfortable hand shape is the most correct hand shape. The previous academic saying of "hold an egg" has been confirmed by the modern piano world to be the wrong way.

"Nonsense, how did the academics go wrong? Don't forget, Horowitz is academic, and you dare to say that his playing is wrong? There have been so many pianists in the Central Academy over the years, which one is not academic? They have all achieved high achievements in the world, and some have even won gold medals at the Liszt International Piano Competition, can you say that they are all wrong? Mo Yan, who happened to come back from going out to sneak around, heard his daughter's words and immediately went up to refute them.

This is the case with the father and daughter, the freshness and joy of the reunion have not yet passed, and when it comes to the piano, the two immediately argue. In the past few days, the two of them have been arguing about some piano skills when they have nothing to do, and Liu Yufan watched from the side and thought it was very interesting. It's a collision between two piano philosophies, and by watching this collision, Liu Yufan feels that he has learned a lot as well.

"Dad, I admit that these people are great pianists, but you can't help but see the progress of piano playing skills. And you said that those students of the Central Academy, ha, don't be angry if I say something. Mo Xi said, paused, saw Mo Yan's unhappy look, ignored him, and continued: "Do you know what the international evaluation of Chinese pianists is? ”

"How do you evaluate it? Isn't it better for them to be successful? Mo Yan said unhappily. After all, he used to be the head of the piano department of the Central Conservatory of Music, and the piano department of the Central Conservatory of Music also had glory under him. As a former leader in the Chinese piano industry, he takes the reputation of Chinese piano in the world very seriously.

"You see, there's something wrong with your attitude. Dad, the art of piano is for appreciation, not for competition. The tutor of our college once said that China's piano education cultivates some pianists who can only compete. Mo Xi said with a serious face.

"Hmph, they are just self-righteous, what does it mean to only compete, and to be able to win awards in the competition, which in itself shows the level. They look down on competitions, so why do they hold so many piano competitions every year? Mo Yan snorted and said.

"Dad, it's good that they hold competitions, but it's more of a small concert than a competition. I was at the Curtis Institute of Music, and almost every department had small concerts every week, not in the second place, just for the pleasure of playing. The instructor will not give a score to each student's performance, but will only tell them what is wrong and what should be done. Dad, don't you think that this kind of atmosphere is more suitable for piano art? Mo Xi asked unceremoniously.

"You~~ are simply unreasonable!" Mo Yan looked at his daughter and didn't give herself face at all, she was stunned, she was angry, and she didn't tell her the surname anymore.

"Yufan, don't be influenced by her, I think she was affected by those bourgeois liberalized things in a foreign country, you look at your hand, it's like a chicken paw on the piano, how ugly and ugly it is, what is this method called?" Mo Yan said angrily.

"I don't understand to you, by the way, Yufan, do you want to learn this way of playing, I'll teach you." As if he felt that Qi Mo Yan was very interesting, Mo Xi deliberately looked at Liu Yufan and said.

Speaking from the heart, Liu Yufan is indeed very curious about Mo Xi's brand-new performance method and performance concept. But at this moment, he didn't dare to agree to the eldest lady's request, didn't he look at the beard blowing his beard and glaring at the side?

"Hehe, Sister Xi, let's talk about it later when I have time, that, I suddenly wanted to go downstairs to find Mr. Ma, there are some problems on the flute, I still want to ask him for advice." Liu Yufan said, and hurriedly fled and left here, he didn't want to be caught between the father and daughter as cannon fodder.

However, from Liu Yufan's heart, he is very eager for Mo Xi's new way of playing, he is not like Mo Yan, Mo Yan has played the piano for decades, taught the piano for decades, and has formed a habit of thinking for some understanding of piano technology, but he is different, although his technical accumulation has reached a certain level, he is still very receptive to it, and he does not reject different ways of playing. At this moment, he was already thinking in his heart, when he had time, he would communicate more with Mo Xi. It's just that in a few days, he will go to school in Yanjing, and Mo Xi can't always stay here, and he has to rush back to the United States to complete his studies, so it is obviously unrealistic to expect to understand a new concept of piano performance in these two days.

"In the future, if you have time and opportunity, you must go to Curtis to see what kind of academy can cultivate a character like Lang Lang." For Curtis, Liu Yufan actually has a trace of yearning, and this yearning largely comes from another piano genius who is the same age as himself, but much more brilliant than his childhood-Lang Lang.

"He's in Curtis at the moment, so he must still be a freshman." Liu Yufan thought about it, with a smile of expectation on his face, which was a smile that was expecting his opponent.
