At half past eleven, Fang Yu came to the Xiangshan Lake Hotel on time and found that Xie Qingyou had already booked a seat.

She sat by the window, wearing a pink floral dress, tied a ponytail casually, and held a novel in her hand, flipping through it casually.

Since the yin snake in his body was expelled, Xie Qingyou's physical state also recovered quickly, and his face was less sickly pale and a little more full and ruddy.

The noon sun shines through the gaps in the branches outside the window, speckled on her, revealing a quiet and elegant beauty.

Fang Yu walked over, the sound of footsteps seemed to disturb Xie Qingyou, she raised her head and glanced at it, and laughed when she saw Fang Yu, the novel was casually placed on the table.

"You're here."

"Well, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

"No, I came over first when class got out early in the morning, and it was quite comfortable to sit and read."

"Really? What books to read? Fang Yu glanced at the cover of the novel, and there were six big characters on it - "Let go of that Shu Mountain"

"This name sounds tasteful, doesn't the content look good?"

"It's pretty." Xie Qingyou smiled and handed over the book: "I heard that the author is still a handsome guy, do you want to take a look?" ”

"No, I'm used to watching on my phone."

The conversation between the two began, Xie Qingyou didn't rush to explain his intentions, Fang Yu didn't ask much, the two chatted like friends while eating.

"By the way, Fang Yu, I have another question I want to ask you."

"I can't talk about asking for advice, I can only talk about communicating with each other."

"You're so humble." Xie Qingyou smiled: "That's right, next month our conservatory of music will organize a grand music festival, inviting many professionals to come and participate, and I am fortunate to be able to perform a show on stage." ”

"That's a good thing, if you are valued by a music company, won't you be a star?"

"How can a star be so good?" Xie Qingyou shook his head, but there was a hint of joy on his face: "I don't have as much talent as you, although I have been practicing very hard recently, I still have a lot of problems." ”

"You're still practicing Wild Bee Dance?"

"No, this time I'm going to play the Piano Concerto No. 3."

The moment she said the name of the song, Fang Yu's mind automatically generated information about the song, which was faster than the search engine on the computer.

This piece is the work of the famous musician Rachmaninoff, which is full of perseverance and strong vitality, and the strength of the composer's own personality is also most fully displayed in this work.

When Rachmaninov himself premiered in New York as a piano soloist, he dubbed his concerto "an elephant's work", a metaphor for its size and heaviness.

A well-known musicologist once described the physical effort of playing the Piano Concerto No. 3 as equivalent to shoveling ten tons of coal, which is an exaggeration, but it also reflects the difficulty of playing this piano piece.

Normally, this is a very difficult piece, especially not suitable for girls to play.

Sure enough, Xie Qingyou continued: "When I played the first half of this piece, I didn't have much problem, but every time I played the second half, I would feel very tired, and I often couldn't stick to it in the end. ”

"Actually, I usually strengthen my exercise, but my physical strength still can't keep up, and now that the music festival is about to open next month, I don't know if Fang Yu do you have any good solutions?"

Xie Qingyou's eyes flashed with anticipation, and it could be seen that she trusted Fang Yu very much, and felt that Fang Yu would definitely be able to solve her problem.

Unexpectedly, Fang Yu didn't even think about it, and directly shook his head and said, "No way." ”

"Huh?" Xie Qingyou was a little stunned.

"I'll tell you the truth, don't mind." Fang Yu Zhengse said: "You should also know that this piece is a very physically exhausting piece, even the composer Rachmaninov himself sighed after playing it, isn't it normal for you to feel tired and can't hold on?" ”

"Uh, but ......"

"I know what you're trying to say, if you have time, maybe I'll give you some advice on how to practice, but now it's less than a month, and it's impossible for you to have a radical change."

Fang Yu's words were like a basin of cold water pouring down on his head, which made Xie Qingyou a little frustrated, the latter lay on the table, rubbed his forehead with his hand, and muttered: "I know that my talent can't be compared to yours, but do you need to be so direct?" ”

"In fact, as far as this music festival is concerned, I think it is impossible for you to make a qualitative improvement when the time is so tight, and what you need to do now is not to study the performance skills, but to change the mode of thinking!" Fang Yu added a sentence on the side.

"Changing mindsets?" Xie Qingyou stopped rubbing his face and asked with some confusion, "What do you mean?" ”

"It's very simple, first of all, I don't think you should choose the piece 'Piano Concerto No. 3'." Seeing that Xie Qingyou seemed to want to interject, Fang Yu shook his hand and motioned for her to wait a while.

"This piece is a world-famous piece, and it is also recognized as one of the most difficult piano pieces in the world, you chose to play this piece, I am afraid that you want to challenge yourself, and on the other hand, you also want to show your talent to the judges and the audience, am I right?"

Hearing Fang Yu say this, Xie Qingyou nodded subconsciously, she really thought so in her heart, if she played an ordinary song that everyone could play, she wouldn't be able to show her ability at all!

"But have you ever thought that the most important thing in such a music festival is always popularity, and how many audiences can understand you playing such a complex piano piece? How many people can know how difficult it is to play? ”

"This ......" Xie Qingyou was a little speechless, she didn't understand the truth of Qu Gao and Widow, but no one had woken her up before.

For the general audience, "Piano Concerto No. 3" is indeed not a well-known piece, and even if you are not a music professional, it is impossible to know the difficulty of this piece.

"For the audience, what they want to see most is gimmicks, handsome men and beautiful women, dazzling lighting effects and explosive stories, and the judges and organizers will definitely put the popularity of the contestants and the audience's love first."

The so-called "insiders look at the doorway, laymen look at the excitement", that's the truth! ”

Speaking of this, Fang Yu paused for a moment, and then said solemnly: "Therefore, your choice of 'Piano Concerto No. 3' is purely thankless!" ”

"Well, that sounds like some truth!" Xie Qing thought quietly for a while, then nodded subconsciously and said, "Then do you have any good suggestions?" Be specific. ”
