Chapter 8: Fighting the Piano
At half past ten in the morning, Zhou Miao, who got out of the program car, looked at the piano shop in front of her, her face was full of emotion, and Li Feifei also looked at Wang Jiang in surprise.
"Wow, isn't it, Wang Jiang, are you going to give Zhou Miao a piano?"
Zhou Miao patted Wang Jiang's shoulder fiercely, "Good brother! I have received your wishes, but I already have a piano at home, so don't break the bank. ”
"Piano? Forehead...... You misunderstood, but the matter is actually ...... Hey, forget it, you can go in and know, in fact, these are the director's ideas, and they have nothing to do with me. Wang Jiang said hesitantly, cold sweat already broke out on his forehead.
Not a piano delivery? So what are you doing here?
The three of them walked into the piano shop, there were no guests in it at this time, only one front desk stood at the door, and the director happened to come out of the piano shop's office at this time, talking to a middle-aged man with long hair, and stretched out his finger to point at Zhou Miao.
Then the middle-aged man with long hair walked straight towards Zhou Miao, but Zhou Miao frowned when he saw this man, this person looked so familiar.
The middle-aged man stretched out his hand, "Hello, my name is Zhang Liangkuan, the owner of this piano shop." ”
The voice is hoarse and harsh.
Hearing the name Zhang Liangkuan, Zhou Miao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he held his hand, "Zhou Miao, I have heard your "Fragrance" and have collected this album. ”
"Oh, it's not easy for young people to listen to my old man's songs." Zhang Liangkuan's smile became brighter when he heard this.
Immediately afterwards, he changed his words and asked with a smile: "Which one of my "Hair Fragrance" do you like the most?" ”
This album is too old, older than Zhou Miao, and the style is not at all what today's young people like, he suspects that the program team told him in advance, so that his subordinates can be merciful.
Zhou Miao thought for a while: "Across the Mountains and Rivers." ”
Zhang Liangkuan was a little surprised, it seems that he has really heard it, otherwise he would not have said this song, "This is a piano piece, how can you like it?" ”
Zhou Miao smiled: "I was very strange at the time, why a piano song appeared in a pop album, and I even suspected that I had bought a pirated disc." ”
"Later I learned that it was your original piano piece, and I loved its melody so much that I used it as an etude when I was a kid."
"That's a lot of difficulty, how long have you been practicing?" Zhang Liangkuan asked.
"From the age of 4 to now, this year is exactly 12 years."
Zhang Liangkuan nodded, and opened the lid of a black grand piano on the side, "Do you remember the song of "Crossing Mountains and Rivers"? ”
Zhou Miao nodded, and Zhang Liangkuan stepped aside, "How about trying this piano." ”
Zhou Miao understood that this was to see his condition, and he was not stage frightened, he sat down generously, his back was straight, and the moment he stroked the keys, the whole person's temperament became different.
The usual hanger Lang disappeared, replaced by a calm and cold heart.
At the moment when the first note sounded, Zhang Liangkuan only felt a surge of spirit rushing from the tail vertebrae to the heavenly spirit cover.
I can't remember how many years I haven't heard this long-lost melody.
After he became famous, he devoted himself to creating the album "Fragrance", and all the songs in it were completed by him, which can be said to have brought his personal style to the extreme.
But it's a pity that this album, which he had high hopes for, didn't make much splash in the market.
It was also after this album that his throat was destroyed by tobacco and alcohol, and since then he has disappeared from the eyes of the public, and the song "Across Mountains and Rivers" has never been played since it came out.
Time flies, and many years later, when he hears this piece again in the hands of a young man, he can't help but recall the excitement he felt when he composed this song.
The play is really good, even if he is as picky as Zhang Liangkuan, he can't find the slightest fault in the face of Zhou Miao's interpretation.
The others at the scene were even more shocked and speechless, leaving only the wild sound of the piano to swirl in this space.
Zhou Miao's slender ten fingers jumped on the keys like elves, sometimes caressing like a breeze, sometimes falling heavily, and the passionate melody exploded in everyone's hearts.
Wang Jiang stared blankly at the scene in front of him, he never liked to listen to piano music, but at this moment, Zhou Miao's interpretation made him appreciate the charm of piano music for the first time.
With the continuous climbing of the melody, at the moment when the mood of the song reached that highest point, Zhou Miao's hands stopped abruptly, and then ended the performance with a beautiful heavy bass.
Zhou Miao exhaled softly, she hadn't practiced for a few days, her hands were a little raw, but fortunately she didn't make a mistake.
Everyone paused for a moment, realized that it was over, and were about to applaud, but a more intense sound sounded again in the piano shop.
I saw that behind Zhou Miao, Zhang Liangkuan was sitting in front of another piano, his eyes slightly closed, and his fingers were flying, and the complex sound of the piano was flying around his ears like a swarm of bees.
Wild bees flew, Zhou Miao showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, he is too familiar with this song, in terms of difficulty, it is actually not difficult, many people can play it, but if you want to play it well and quickly, it is not easy.
And it is even more rare to play as fast as Zhang Liangkuan, but the point is that after Zhang Liangkuan finished playing across mountains and rivers, he chose to play a more difficult tune, which was actually a signal to him to fight the piano.
As if in a competition, in the first second after Zhang Liangkuan's piano stopped, the hands of the surrounding audience had not had time to be raised, and a rapid piano sound once again attracted everyone's attention.
Zhang Liangkuan calmed his breath for a while, and he heard it at the moment when the piano sounded, it was Chopin's "Etude in C sharp minor", and the difficulty was a big grade compared to the moment when the wild bees flew and danced.
Most people began to cramp their fingers when they saw the score, this piece has very high requirements for the explosiveness and speed of the fingers, and at the same time there are many big jumps in the left hand, Zhou Miao can play such a difficult piece at the age of 16, I can only say one thing, talent.
Seeing the two of them continuously playing more and more difficult tunes, everyone finally realized that the two were fighting the piano, and the sword light and sword shadow hidden in the sound of the piano were also revealed under Zhou Miao's performance.
Zhang Liangkuan eased his fingers, his expression became more and more serious, he took a deep breath, and struck the keys heavily at the moment when Zhou Miao's last note dissipated.
The same Chopin! "Etude in A minor", one of the most difficult Chopin etudes, in addition to the pursuit of speed, has high requirements for sound quality and fun.
But Zhou Miao frowned when he listened, although Zhang Liangkuan played very fast, but the timbre was stuck together in some places, it seems that the years still left traces on this old man's body.
Sweat fell down Zhang Liangkuan's cheeks, and the white shirt on his body was already soaked, in recent years, his focus has been on the business of the piano shop, and he has not played such a difficult piece for too long.
He thought he could hold on, after all, the foundation was still there, but as soon as he got up, his heart chuckled, and his heart sank.
However, in the next turn, a more powerful piano sound was strongly injected, Zhou Miao's ten fingers on the keys were crazy, the speed was dazzling, and it helped him stabilize the rhythm that was about to collapse, Zhang Liangkuan suddenly reduced his pressure and changed from the main to the auxiliary.
Under the ensemble of the two, the "Etude in A minor" was so mesmerized that no one thought to applaud long after the last note fell.
Li Feifei hesitantly stretched out her hand, and after making sure that the two of them would not continue to fight, they applauded violently, and the others woke up like a dream and applauded excitedly, it was so exciting!
Zhang Liangkuan took a long breath and said with a wry smile: "Young people nowadays are really amazing, I am not even half as good as you at your age." ”
was so praised by the seniors in the music world, Zhou Miao smiled very happily, "Where, you have won the award." ”
At this moment, a little boy who stood at the door and watched for a long time said to his mother with a sad face: "Mom, I don't want to learn piano anymore, you can report me to taekwondo." ”
"Well, let's go." When the mother saw that everyone was looking at her, she took the child away with an embarrassed face.
Zhang Liangkuan, who was still sighing just now, suddenly became anxious, "Hey, don't go, the piano is not difficult at all, it's easy to learn......"
Looking at the figure of Zhang Liangkuan chasing out, Zhou Miao suddenly smiled, "Is this the gift you prepared for me?" ”
Standing up and moving his sore fingers, he smiled, "I like it." ”
