Chapter 307: The Mystery of the Hand Shape

Seeing the outline of Dazhai Village enlarged in front of him, the feeling of homesickness in Liu Yufan's heart became stronger and stronger.

During this time, I was busy studying in the attached middle school.,Basically, I didn't have much contact with my family.,This time I took the opportunity to shoot M to come back and go around.,I'm afraid I won't be able to live.。 After being reborn, Liu Yufan lived a very fulfilling life, but at the same time, he also lost a lot of leisure. Sometimes he always thinks about a question, compared to the previous life, he has achieved too much success now, is it necessary to fight so hard?

However, this kind of idea of being rich and safe was rejected by himself as soon as it showed a sign of it. It's hard to live again, Liu Yufan doesn't just want to be a rich man. In this world, money is certainly an essential thing, but there are many other things besides money that are worth pursuing.

drove the car to the door of the house, Liu Yufan quietly got out of the car and did not honk the horn, he was ready to surprise his family.

Pushing open the door, I faintly heard a melodious piano sound from inside, which was the familiar Chopin's "Fantasy Improvisation".

"Xiaoran's piano skills have improved again." Liu Yufan listened for a while, and a knowing smile appeared on his face.

"Brother? Why are you coming back and not calling home. Xiao Ran, who was practicing in front of the piano, saw Liu Yufan walking in from outside, and said in surprise, and stopped the song in his hand at the same time.

"Hehe, isn't this time here to shoot M, it just ends today, and the school doesn't have any urgency, so I want to go home and have a look. By the way, what about Mom and Dad? Liu Yufan asked with a smile.

"Oh, they went to the field to harvest peanuts. This year, our flowers are growing well, and my mother said that when you come back, I will cook peanuts for you to eat. Liu Xiaoran said with a smile.

"Hey, I told them a long time ago that if you can't plant the land, don't plant it, and it's useless to say it." Liu Yufan smiled and shook his head. With the current conditions at home, even if two people don't do anything, they can live a comfortable life without thinking about anything. However, Liu Jianjun and Chu Qing are such people, and they can't afford to plant a few acres of land now, for them, it is completely regarded as a kind of leisure, a kind of fun, and has nothing to do with money.

"That's it, Mom and Dad are like that, and you don't know. Brother, I recently practiced a new tune, can you help me take a look? Seeing his brother come back, Liu Xiaoran looked very excited. She is now in junior high school, and she is a member of the literary and artistic committee of the class, and some time ago she won the first prize in a literary and artistic performance in the county. Of course, compared to the halo on Liu Yufan's head, these are pediatrics. The reason why Liu Xiaoran has repeatedly worked hard to practice the piano is that he also regards his brother as a target to catch up with in his heart.

"Okay, you can play." Liu Yufan nodded at his sister with a smile and said.

"Yes." Liu Xiaoran responded crisply, and then sat back in front of the piano and played.

A smooth piano sound sounded, Liu Xiaoran's ten fingers seemed to dance a beautiful waltz on the piano, and gorgeous notes flowed out from between the erected ten fingers, which looked very dexterous and full of grain.

It's Chopin's "Butterfly". Liu Yufan only listened to the beginning and recognized this song.

Chopin's "Butterfly" is a very light etude, and it is also a good finger gymnastics, which is very helpful for exercising the flexibility and independence of the fingers. Liu Yufan saw that her sister's ten-finger posture was strictly regulated, and he knew that she had made great progress in studying with Mo Yan during this time, at least much stronger than when she was led by a half-partnered teacher.

Mo Yan is a standard academic teaching, and the students he teaches are the same. In other words, it was Liu Yufan half a year ago, and I am afraid that the performance method is similar to that of my sister Xiaoran. However, after more than half a year in the attached middle school, I have seen some new methods and concepts of other teachers, especially under the guidance of Ling Yuan, Liu Yufan's performance is different from half a year ago, and his performance techniques are richer and his skills are more skilled. …,

After playing the song, Liu Xiaoran turned his head to look at Liu Yufan with a little smugness and said, "Brother, how is it?" Not bad, right? ”

"Hehe, yes, Chopin's "Butterfly" etude is one of the more difficult pieces in the etude, and it can barely be regarded as a concert etude, it seems that you have made great progress with Teacher Mo Yan during this time." Liu Yufan nodded approvingly.

"Give me some advice." Liu Xiaoran tilted his head and chuckled.

"Okay." Liu Yufan walked over as he spoke, sat down in front of the piano, and stretched out his hand to play the song "Butterfly"

The light melody sounded again, but the difference from the previous song was that this time the sound was softer and more expressive, and seemed to be a little less rigid and more agile.

Liu Yufan's hands in front of the piano are not like Xiaoran before, they always maintain a regular "holding egg" shape, but they seem to be much "flattened", and in some places with a large span, even the fingers are "crawling" on the keys, which looks much more casual.

Looking at her brother's performance, Liu Xiaoran frowned, obviously, the things that my brother was playing at the moment were very different from the education she had received before.

Liu Yufan didn't finish playing the whole song, but only played a short paragraph, and after stopping, he turned to look at Liu Xiaoran and said, "Do you see something?"

"Brother, you play like this, let Teacher Mo see it, and I'll say you, what kind of hand shape are you?" Liu Xiaoran said with a smile.

"Hey, girl, you don't know. At the beginning of practice, a standardized hand shape is a must. Because at that time, the flexibility and independence of the fingers of the piano player had not been exercised and developed, and the fingers were relatively soft and could not stand on the keys. So at this time, it is necessary to emphasize the standing of the fingers. However, that doesn't mean that the hand holding an egg has to be set in stone. Of course, it's okay for you to play such a dense melody. Liu Yufan said, reaching out and playing a short right-hand melody of the just etude on the keys, which is a brilliance with very close notes. Liu Yufan's right hand was on the keys, maintaining the most standardized posture, and he hardly saw how he moved, but the palm relationship between the fingers rose and fell slightly flexibly, and the melody was completed.

Seeing the old brother's hand exposed, Xiao Ran was immediately convinced. At this moment, what the elder brother is showing is the most standardized classical academic skills, even if Teacher Mo Yan is here, I am afraid that he can only do it to this extent. It seems that the exaggeration of his hand shape just now is not because he "learned badly", but deliberately.

Seeing Xiaoran listening intently to his words, Liu Yufan continued: "But have you thought about it, what if you play such a melody? Liu Yufan said, dancing with both hands, exaggerated arm movements, bringing up a large number of strong and shocking chords, and the fierce sound of the piano made the whole room seem to be enthusiastic!

This is the last section of Liszt Paganini's Great Etude "The Bell", the passionate dance rhythm part. This is the most intense part of the whole piece, from beginning to end are strong chords, both hands always maintain high-speed movement, one chord after another, it seems to have unearthed the richest sound in the piano!

Watching his brother's dazzling performance, Xiao Ran was shocked, and at the same time, he was hit hard. I thought that my skills were already very powerful, but I didn't know, I was shocked, it turned out that the piano can have such a high level of skill!

Looking at this ultra-difficult etude up close, no one will be less shocked than Liu Xiaoran, and the feeling of his hands flying on the keys makes people feel like they are breathless. …,

After finishing this performance, Liu Yufan looked at his sister again and said, "Do you think that when playing this melody, can the hands still maintain that standard posture?" ”

Listening to his brother's question, Liu Xiaoran shook his head helplessly, under such a high speed, under such a large span, it is almost impossible to maintain the kind of hand shape that Mo Yan requested, after all, human hands have physiological limits, and it is impossible to maintain such a hand shape under opening to that extent.

"So, this thing of the hand, you don't fix it in your mind, so you won't be able to play the piano. You have to always remember one thing, the hand shape is for the performance, what kind of hand shape is a good hand shape? The hand that you feel most comfortable with and can play the sound you want most easily is the one that is good. ”

Liu Yufan said, and improvised a short paragraph on the keys.

This time, he played Liszt's "Dream of Love". This is a very soft song, and it can be said that every note is extremely soft, affectionate, and full of emotion.

Xiao Ran looked at her brother's hands on the piano keys, Liu Yufan's performance at this moment simply subverted all the common sense of performance that Mo Yan told her before.

Where are the hands still "holding eggs", it's just a change every while. For a while, she crawled on the keys like an octopus, and then her wrists were hung high, leaving only one finger to support on the keys "Golden Rooster Independence", but for some reason, such a hand shape gave her a very comfortable feeling, as if the hands on the keys suddenly came to life, and she was dancing dreamily freely.

Moreover, in such a changeable hand shape, there is always a point, and Xiao Ran can't grasp that point, but she knows that such a feeling runs through the whole song.

"This hand shape, in the eyes of academic teachers, I'm afraid it's deviant, but what do you think of the song that just played?" Liu Yufan looked at his sister with a smile and said.

"It's nice to hear, a feeling I can't put into words. Anyway, it's much better than me playing, brother, tell me quickly, what kind of hand shape is this, is it your middle school attached? Xiao Ran said with some eagerness. Unconsciously, she already likes her brother's playing technique.

"Hehe, no, this is something that your brother and I usually have nothing to figure out." Liu Yufan said to his sister with a smile, and just as he was about to further explain the benefits of this hand shape to her, his mother's voice suddenly came from the door.

"Yufan, you stinky boy, don't call me first when you get home." With a familiar voice, the door was pushed open, and Chu Qing, who was carrying a basket of peanuts, walked in with a smile...... )
