Chapter 228: Chu Yang's Strength!

F, A, E...... A few of the more obscure scales and arpeggios in major and minor keys were like handy under Chu Yang's hands, without thinking, Rao is Zhao Xuesong has seen too many genius students over the years, but he has made rapid progress like Chu Yang, and in just a few classes, he has reached this level, but he has really never seen it.

Chu Yang's level of progress can no longer be described as just a genius, he is completely demonic!

Zhao Xuesong still remembers that when Chu Yang first came to his place to take lessons, he looked like he had never touched the piano, but "Shepherd Boy Piccolo" only took one lesson to get it right, and he was completely proficient in two lessons! In the next few classes, almost every time he came, Zhao Xuesong could feel his great changes, so that by the time he took the art exam, he could already play the eighth-grade "Turkish Sonata" fluently!

After the art exam, Chu Yang didn't come to class for a while, Zhao Xuesong thought that after the exam, Chu Yang, a beginner piano student, would regress after his level, but today, it seems that this is not the case at all. Chu Yang did not regress, but improved a lot!

Just looking at the scales he played, he has definitely reached the level of amateur grade 9 or even higher!

"Alright, let's play the scales and arpeggios here, you don't need to play these things anymore at your current level. I haven't been here in a while, so let me see what tunes you've practiced? Zhao Xuesong said to Chu Yang with a smile.

This is also where he teaches Chu Yang different from other students. To teach other students, Zhao Xuesong usually leaves homework in advance. Wait until the next class when the students come back to him. However, when Chu Yang came to him for class, he generally recommended Chu Yang to have a rough practice range, and then when he was in the next class, which song Chu Yang played for him, he would give him guidance.

The reason why this is so is because Chu Yang's practice speed is too fast, generally speaking, leaving him three or four etudes in class according to the regular pace can basically be completed in class, and there is no need to leave them for the next class at all. So after two or three times. Zhao Xuesong simply stopped assigning him specific repertoire. It's just that according to his current general level, he is provided with some books of the corresponding level for him to choose to practice.

"Okay." Chu Yang nodded, then turned a few pages back a few pages of the examination textbook on the music shelf, and raised his hands. A burst of passionate sound rolled out!

Czerny Etude No. 740 No. 41. Left-handed exercises.

One of Chu Yang's left hands rolled on the keys. The stretching and contraction are as fast as lightning, bringing up bursts of continuous sound like the Yangtze River.

At the same time, in the stream of sound. The right hand rises and falls delicately in the high register, and the clever combination of single and double notes forms a small clause, outlining the musical image, like a tide surfing in the waves.

This song, which is simply training skills, actually made him play a little bit of sonata!

Looking at Chu Yang's performance without a trace of flaws, even Zhao Xuesong sighed again and again. The etude has reached the level of 740, which is basically at the top of the amateur level. Further up, there are some concert-level etudes. Generally speaking, when it comes to playing here, many amateur students have to struggle more, but looking at Chu Yang's appearance, it is clear that he is comfortable with such skills, and he does not seem to be struggling at all!

Seeing his left hand wandering on the keys as if he had a spirit, retracting and retracting freely, Zhao Xuesong thought to himself that even if he was now, he might not be able to reach his flexibility!

"With the current kind of kung fu in his left hand, he should be able to play Chopin's "Etude in C sharp minor" without any problem." Zhao Xuesong thought to himself.

Chopin's "Etude in C sharp minor" is a famous piece in the left-hand etude, and it also belongs to the concert-level etude, many people do not know the official name of this piece, but they know that it is another name, "Revolutionary Etude"!

Composed for the fall of Warsaw, this etude expresses the pathos of Chopin, the "piano poet", and is the pinnacle of the perfect combination of technique and art, and one of the most recognizable works of his life!

Zhao Xuesong looked at Chu Yang's performance, thinking that maybe soon, he wouldn't have to take classes here anymore. Because if he continues to teach, there will be nothing left to teach him. Although Zhao Xuesong is a famous piano teacher in Qinhai, if he tutors a student who is about to step into the concert level, he still has some mental strength.

Chu Yang didn't know these little thoughts in Mr. Zhao's heart, he hadn't come to piano lessons for a while, and now he just wanted to show Zhao Xuesong the results of his practice during this time, and at the same time get more professional guidance and advice from him.

The family bought a piano, and Chu Yang spent more time practicing every day, usually practicing for more than three hours at night. This kind of instrument, which was completely unfamiliar to him, made him very interested. In particular, the concepts of chords and polyphony in the piano are like opening a completely unfamiliar window for him to see a different style!

So during this period of time, it is not an exaggeration to say that Chu Yang practiced the piano and became a demon, fortunately, the piano room at his home has undergone special acoustic decoration, and the sound of practicing the piano will not disturb the people through the floor, otherwise he is still playing the piano at more than eleven o'clock at night, and it is strange not to be knocked on the window by the neighbors!

At the same time, his practice during this period was also quite fruitful. Compared with ordinary piano students, he has two major advantages of skill and knowledge, and his progress is quite rapid with hard work. He only took three days to play the primary "Little Soup" one to three volumes, and then Czerny's "599", "849" and "299" trilogy, he only took a month to read through, although not every song must be played, but some of the representative works outlined by Zhao Xuesong have been played one by one!

Bach's Piano Pieces for Beginners, Minor Sonatas, Burgmüller Etudes, The Way of the Master, Hanon, ...... These supplementary textbooks recommended to him by Zhao Xuesong, he also played them almost one by one, and passed the essence and representative repertoire one by one!

Such a large amount of practice is completely unimaginable for the average student. It would take at least two to three years for a normal person to go through this process, but Chu Yang proved the difference between a demon-level genius and a mortal with practical actions!

In less than two months, Chu Yang has completed about three years of training for ordinary people, and even the quality of his completion is higher than that of many people! This thing is almost impossible to accomplish in the eyes of ordinary people, but under Chu Yang's hands, it was done lightly!

The hard practice during this period of time also made Chu Yang completely change from a layman who knew little about the piano to a big insider. Although there is still a certain gap with those professional students who have studied for more than ten years, it is only a gap in the breadth of performance repertoire and stage experience.

The foundation of music theory that I used to learn by myself, and the theoretical knowledge in some piano textbooks, have been integrated in more than two months of hard practice, and have really become the skills in my hands, and the smooth sound flow when playing!

A 740 etude, an amateur grade 9 repertoire, Chu Yang played it perfectly for more than a minute, and there was not even a single wrong note during this time!

After playing this song, Chu Yang turned to look at Zhao Xuesong, the other party didn't say a word, only compared a "continue" gesture to him.

Chu Yang turned around and returned to the piano keys, his ten fingers flicked, jumping lightly, and it was another famous "One Minute Waltz", a ninth-grade repertoire, Chopin's work!

"One Minute Waltz" is also called "Puppy Waltz", is a famous Polish pianist, composer Chopin's work, because its musical image is like a puppy that turns in a circle, keeps chasing its own tail, so it is named "Puppy Waltz", although it only takes one minute to play, but the piano skills involved in one minute are quite difficult, even in the ninth grade of the piece, it is also quite difficult!

However, at this moment, this piece is smooth and easy at Chu Yang's fingertips, just like a small etude of the second or third level, it is so relaxed and freehand. Watching Chu Yang's performance is simply a pleasing enjoyment.

Zhao Xuesong is a knowledgeable person, and being able to play this feeling and taste can only show that Chu Yang's current piano level has far exceeded the level of level nine!

In one minute, Chu Yang played the famous "Puppy Waltz" perfectly, and there was still no technical error at all.

Zhao Xuesong was speechless. I thought that he hadn't come to class for more than a month, and even if Chu Yang's piano level did not regress, it would be at most at the original level of about level eight, but he didn't expect him to improve to this extent!

Thinking that he had simply instructed him on some basic techniques and movements, and had drawn some textbooks for him, and had not really instructed him on a certain song, this guy could practice like this, Zhao Xuesong was now completely convinced, and at the same time, he no longer had the idea of treating Chu Yang as his own student. With this guy's current level, the two of them really have to compare, and the piano level may not be as high as it is or who is low!

Listening to Chu Yang play a Chinese song "Dry Day Thunder" again, Zhao Xuesong waved his hand, signaling that Chu Yang didn't need to play anymore.

A few scale arpeggios, plus three tunes, Chu Yang's strength at the moment is enough to make Zhao Xuesong clear about the level he is at now, looking at Chu Yang who is no longer playing, Zhao Xuesong said with emotion: "Chu Yang, from today onwards, I have nothing to teach you, the examination of the Music Association will start next month, I will help you register, you can directly take the ninth grade." ”

Chu Yang nodded, he also felt that his current piano level was more than enough for the ninth grade, and after a brief chat with Zhao Xuesong, Chu Yang got up and left the music classroom, and when he walked to the door of the corridor, he found that the little girl and her mother who he had just pointed out were still there.

Seeing Chu Yang coming, the mother and daughter immediately stood up in unison and greeted Chu Yang! (To be continued......)
