Chapter 474: Li Jian's Amazing Performance
。 Listening to Liu Yufan's "please", Li Jian seemed to hear the signal of declaring war, and instantly the whole person rose with a strong fighting intent!
When he was studying piano with Mr. Dan Zhaoyi, he was the top piano student in their area. Even when he goes to the alto, a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, he still has the capital of pride. Although it is not as amazing as Wang Yujia, it is definitely a seed player in the minds of the teachers.
But even the "Liszt" Cup quota that he wanted but couldn't get was easily taken away by this young man, which made him feel like he was going crazy with jealousy these days, so that when Liu Yufan finished playing today, he couldn't control his emotions anymore and had a seizure on the spot.
However, when it was time for the game, Li Jian suddenly calmed down. He's also a showman, and the more pressure you have, the better you play. Looking at Liu Yufan, who was looking at him with a relaxed face, Li Jian had a sneer on his face, walked a few steps, and came to the piano.
"Hmph, you probably don't know, Liu Yufan, these twelve super skills, I have been able to play seven songs in a row in one go, even if I accompany them to the end, I have no problem, I don't know how many songs you can stick to." Li Jian sat down in front of the piano and thought a little gloomily in his heart.
That's right, during this time, Li Jian spent a lot of effort on these twelve piano etudes, and the purpose was also to get a recommendation from Zhou Guangren. But who would have thought that it would still be occupied by Wang Yujia. He was not reconciled! Looking at the entire alto annex, the person who can play the seventh song in a row. There are only a handful. Even Wang Yujia, she may play more carefully than herself, but when it comes to physical strength. But it's not as good as yourself!
Sitting in front of the piano, Li Jian moved his fingers, and then raised his arms with a golden knife. Slammed down on the keys.
Li Jian was already tall, if he wasn't sitting in front of the piano at the moment, but standing on the playground, maybe people would misunderstand him as a basketball player. Today he was dressed very casually, wearing a black cotton T-shirt, and the sleeves of his arms were rolled up, revealing his entire forearm. Liu Yufan was close, and it could be seen that this guy was very sturdy. The muscles on the arms and the dense body hair give people a sense of strength. Although this feeling does not look like playing the piano, as the saying goes, people can't look good, Liu Yufan didn't look down on this guy because of his rough appearance, but stood aside and watched his performance quietly.
The two arms were like two heavy iron rods. There is a sense of power. Li Jian's hands are also very thick, and his fingers are as thick as small carrots, which does not look like a piano player, but like a farmer. It stands to reason that such physical conditions are indeed a little unsuitable for playing the piano. But nothing is decided. When Li Jian's ten fingers fell on the piano, the perfect combination of flexibility and power in a moment suddenly made people look sideways.
"Boom!" A strong chord in a minor key sounded, but it was Li Jian's left hand that slammed into Steinway's bass range. Li Jian's hand is very large, and there is almost no obvious parting movement, it easily covers an octave, this chord is played very strongly, very powerful, and the feeling of solidity and transparency of the Steinway grand piano is expressed very thoroughly.
And Li Jian's right hand, like a gust of wind blowing on the keys in an instant, crushed the keys domineeringly, and his thick fingers quickly brought up a series of gorgeous notes with a sense of flexibility that was not commensurate with him! At this moment, strength and dexterity are perfectly combined, and anyone can see the ease and ease of being on the keys and being at home like a fish in water.
Li Jian's posture in front of the piano is also very casual, and he can't see how contrived he is, but he is not like those classical pianists, sitting in front of the piano with his upper body straight and motionless. He sat in front of the piano, more like sitting in front of an ordinary big toy, fiddling with his toys very casually, that feeling, free and comfortable. …,
Looking at Li Jian's performance, Liu Yufan was a little moved. He couldn't have imagined that this guy, who looked a little reckless, actually had such a powerful real strength!
He was still contemptuous just now, but now he has a solemn expression. Although with the level that Li Jian has shown now, he is not afraid, but Li Jian is indeed very good, and if he wants to deal with him, Liu Yufan has to be energetic!
Watching Li Jian wantonly playing this "Prelude" in front of the piano, quietly under the stage, everyone watched Li Jian's powerful performance, and they had a very enjoyable feeling. This guy, although he is very arrogant, he does have the capital to be arrogant!
In the first row, Shi Shucheng, who watched Li Jian play the piano, was also a little surprised. This Li Jian is his student, and he also knows what level he was before. However, in the performance of this piece, Li Jian was completely unexpected.
"How is that possible? This kid's previous level is not like this! Looking at Li Jian's performance, Shi Shucheng thought with some surprise.
Zhou Guangren, who was sitting in the middle, looked at Li Jian's performance at this moment, and his face was also dignified. She had seen this student before, and he played well, but he was far from what he is now. Although this "Prelude" is only the simplest of Liszt's twelve super-technical etudes, the level of Li Jian's performance is enough to illustrate the problem with this piece alone. In all fairness, Zhou Guangren feels that with the strength he showed in this song, he really has the strength to participate in the Liszt Cup.
In front of the piano, Li Jian played selflessly, his ten fingers rose and fell vigorously, and the damping force of the piano keys seemed to him to be completely non-existent. That relaxed feeling made the students in the audience look puzzled, as if the piano had no damping force at all.
But they didn't know that during this period of time, in order to get the opportunity to participate in the Liszt Cup, Li Jian practiced almost frantically, and at the same time strengthened his physical exercise, which actually had an unexpected effect and made his playing skills to a higher level. Especially playing this kind of pure technique, with Li Jian's current conditions, it is the most suitable.
In just over 40 seconds of the prelude, Li Jian's performance did not have a trace of trickery, giving people the feeling of opening and closing wide, and it was very domineering. The last accented chord hit everyone's hearts like a hammer, making people worry about whether he would break the strings of the piano!
"Wow~~~" When Li Jian stood up, the audience burst into warm applause. No matter how arrogant Li Jian was before, at least his performance just now made everyone recognize his level.
Standing up from the piano, Li Jian glanced back at Liu Yufan who was standing next to him, with a hint of provocation in his eyes.
"It's your turn." Li Jian let go of the piano, looked at Liu Yufan, and said with a cool expression.
I have to say that Li Jian's performance just now is indeed very imposing. If you were an ordinary opponent, you might have been shocked by his momentum from the beginning. However, Liu Yufan is different, his current mentality can be said to be far beyond his actual age. It is true that Li Jian played the piano just now, which made him feel a little appreciated, but it is nonsense to say how much pressure it caused him just by relying on this short performance. At this moment, Liu Yufan's heart is as calm as a puddle of clear water, and he is not alarmed. As early as halfway through Li Jian's performance, Liu Yufan silently recited "Freedom to Walk" in his heart, and with Li Jian's golden knife-like piano sound, it urged his fighting spirit to come out!
At this moment, Liu Yufan is like a sharp sword that has shown its edge, and his combat effectiveness is bursting!
Walking briskly towards the piano, Liu Yufan's hands were even a little hot because of excitement. You know, he hasn't warmed his hands yet! ..., the desire and excitement of the heart for the performance were completely stimulated!
With both hands resting on the keys, shoulders slightly loose and wrists flicked, a slightly suppressed melody flows from between your hands!
Liszt's Super Technique Etude No. 2, "Allegro".
This one is a relatively bland and dull one, but the requirements for the basic skills in hand have not been discounted at all because of his dullness and dullness. At the end of the piece, it is all about strong octave chords, and the right hand sometimes presses four keys or more at the same time, and the dullness and excitement are the most difficult for the player to grasp. The piece feels like a "run-and-run" but "not quite let go yet", which obviously places a high demand on the pianist's control.
This song, as early as when he was studying with Mo Yan, Liu Yufan didn't know how many times he played it, and during this time, in order to prepare for the Liszt Cup, he insisted on practicing every day and was very familiar with it. As for the grasp of this rhythm, in this state of complete relaxation and dedication at this moment, Liu Yufan's performance is almost perfect!
The wrist of the right hand is slightly raised, and every time the chord is played, there is a feeling of exuberance. Compared with Li Jian's aggressive performance just now, this second piece is much more elegant, Liu Yufan's calm atmosphere in front of the piano, and several teachers nodded slightly.
"This kid is good, not to mention the perfect skills, it's rare to have this mentality and this atmosphere, although Li Jian's performance just now is a little more domineering, but compared to the bearing, it is worse than this Liu Yufan." Looking at Liu Yufan's performance, Zhou Guangren thought to himself.
"Sure enough, there are two hits!" Li Jian is not an illiterate person, looking at Liu Yufan's performance just now, he knows that this guy has material under his hands. However, the game has just begun, and he naturally will not back down because of the opponent's performance, on the contrary, Liu Yufan's performance stimulates him even more! (To be continued.)
