48. Flower style guzheng
In this world, the most popular musical instrument is the guitar, then the piano and flute, and the guzheng is ranked lower.
However, it is not that the guzheng is not unpopular, but that it is too difficult to learn.
Not to mention anything else, hanging your hands in the air and placing them firmly on the piano is not something that ordinary people can do, and unlike the violin that uses a bow to pull the strings, the guzheng needs to use your fingers to pluck, and ordinary people will have sore fingers after a play.
If you have a small finger strength, you will not be able to produce the desired sound if you don't play it enough.
Sitting at the tea table on the side, Xia Yu watched Kong Hanyue play carefully.
The guzheng etude is a real etude, different from the guda etude in the piano, which is very simple and does not require any fingering.
This etude also has a name, which is called iron pipe.
This is a piece created by a modern luthier, and for this name, the original words of the luthier are, "If you learn this tune, you will play the piano as well as you will play the pipe."
This piece has no beauty to speak of, just an empty sound.
After playing the etude, Kong Hanyue looked at Xia Yu: "It looks very simple, you can try it." ”
Xia Yu then came to the guzheng, he closed his eyes, and first recalled the skills in his mind.
Five seconds later, he took out his phone, put the score of the iron wind etude in front of him, and picked up the prosthetic nails on the table, taping them to his fingers one by one.
The strings of the guzheng are small, and it is easy to get hurt if you play it directly with your fingers, so the violinist wears a prosthetic armor to play.
There are eight prosthetic nails, and the two little fingers are not used when playing, so there is no need to wear them.
Everything was ready, and Xia Yu hung his hand over the strings.
His eyes looked at the sheet music on his phone's screen and played the first note.
Kong Hanyue had a wicked smile on her face, waiting for Xia Yu to make a fool of herself.
She knew Xia Yu's situation and knew that he must not have a guzheng, most of them just watched some videos on the Internet, thinking that she had a foundation in piano and violin, and she could easily get started.
Reality will tell him how difficult the guzheng is!
Kong Hanyue was full of confidence, she was already thinking about how to laugh at Xia Yu first when she was depressed because of failure, and then comforted Xia Yu to let Xia Yu understand her mother's warmth, and then obediently obey her arrangement and go to school in Penglai City.
However, with a little proud expression, she slowly disappeared with the flicking of Xia Yu's fingers.
The iron pipe etude is too simple, so Xia Yu can get started just by reading it once.
When Xia Yu played to the middle part, Kong Hanyue knew that this piece was not difficult for him at all.
Before he finished playing, Kong Hanyue grabbed Xia Yu's palm.
"You really learned from someone else!" Kong Hanyue didn't believe that Xia Yu would be able to see it.
"You can teach me another piece that is a little more difficult." Xia Yu said.
"I'm going to see what you're trying to do." Pushing Xia Yu away, Kong Hanyue sat in front of the guzheng and played another tune.
The name of this piece is called Hakuno Contract, and it is an elegant tune.
This is the real guzheng song, and the iron pipe etude is just a number.
Xia Yu couldn't learn such a song all at once, after Kong Hanyue finished playing, he stepped forward and stumbled to play the soothing passage in front, and when it was faster, he couldn't pick it up.
"Your skills are not mature, if you go to participate in the regional competition at this level, you can't enter the preliminary round." Kong Hanyue began to strike.
Xia Yu ignored her and started playing again.
The second time, he successfully picked up the place where he had broken off the first time, but disconnected it again at the Allegro.
The third time, he played the allegro halfway and failed.
The fourth time, although there were some problems with the rhythm, the whole song was played.
Kong Hanyue was silent for the second time, and when Xia Yu finished playing from beginning to end, she hugged her head: "My teacher said before that I was a genius, but I didn't expect that there were people outside the world. ”
Coming behind Xia Yu, she patted Xia Yu on the back: "It is worthy of being my son, in the study of guzheng, I would like to call you the strongest." ”
Xia Yu was not a little happy about Kong Hanyue's evaluation, he knew that he learned fast because he already had the strength of lv3.
When it comes to music, he doesn't really have the slightest talent at all.
However, there is no need to tell Kong Hanyue about this.
"There are still some questions, teach me." Xia Yu and Kong Hanyue said.
"Okay." Kong Hanyue agreed, "If you go down at this speed, you can really get a place in the competition, maybe you can enter the top 30, and then the local newspaper will come to interview me and find out that it is the son of your prodigy Kong Hanyue twenty years ago......"
Speaking of this, Kong Hanyue stopped.
Xia Yu knew what the other party was thinking, and he said, "You just said that I taught me well when I was a child." ”
If the reporter comes to visit, he will definitely be known by the children of his ex-husband.
"Ze Ze is a very good child, but Xinxin is a little difficult to do." Kong Hanyue looked at Xia Yu apologetically.
"It doesn't matter." Xia Yu didn't care.
There is no unbreakable relationship in the world, if others are in Kong Hanyue's position, they will not pay attention to themselves.
To be able to do this is already very good, people are always content, and only then can they be happy.
However, it is necessary to be content strategically and be greedy tactically.
Youxue has always liked Kong Hanyue, and it would be nice if she could repair their relationship.
More on that later.
Hanging his hand, Xia Yu played the zither again.
Kong Hanyue said on the side: "Use your fingers to exert force, not your wrists, and don't use your arms." ”
"There is no need to play the part that has been cooked, just play the part that is not cooked."
"Don't lean your waist too forward, play the guzheng, the most important thing is to look good."
An hour later, Xia Yu had already played the song of Bai Zhihe very skillfully.
"You're such a genius!" Kong Hanyue hugged Xia Yu excitedly, "My Kong family's guzheng has a successor!" ”
"Wake up, you are the only one in the Kong family who has learned the guzheng."
Xia Yu sighed, Kong Hanyue is such an inexplicable character, and she hasn't changed at all after so many years.
"Plus aren't you two generations, in modern society, two generations are already very powerful." Kong Hanyue pulled the guzheng again, "Then let's start the next song, but before I teach you, I will introduce you to the genre of our family, the guzheng is now mainly divided into the southern school and the northern school." ”
"Are we Southern or Northern? What's the difference? Xia Yu asked curiously.
"We are neither southern nor northern, but flower-minded."
“???”
