Chapter 19 Canon(1/2)

On Saturday, Yang Jingxing rushed to the Conservatory of Music early in the morning. After Zhang Chujia accepted his practice results this week, he said: "Qi Pa, don't forget that I also taught you in the future."

Yang Jingxing said he couldn't forget it and asked Zhang Chujia for music paper. Hu Yiqing also helped confirm that he was indeed learning to arrange music.

"Don't get carried away." Zhang Chujia was afraid that Yang Jingxing would scratch his eyebrows and beard.

So Yang Jingxing played the piano version of his semi-finished "Until the End of the World" to Zhang Chujia. Although he knew there were many shortcomings, Yang Jingxing had the courage to accept criticism.

As expected, Zhang Chujia said: "It's so bad, my right hand is so messed up... there is an arpeggio that's not bad." However, she still took Yang Jingxing to buy a stack of blank music paper while having lunch.

Zhang Chujia treated her to lunch, saying that it was time for her to fulfill her duties as a landowner, and she gave Yang Jingxing cakes and desserts in return for his filial piety every time he came.

Li Yingzhen came early today and drove to the Conservatory of Music to pick up Yang Jingxing and the others to the attached primary school. Li Yingzhen did not ask Zhang Chujia's comments about Yang Jingxing. When she arrived at the attached elementary school, she directly asked Yang Jingxing to play for her. After listening to it, she laughed: "Was it at the concert?" Did you gain a lot?"

Zhang Chujia filed a lawsuit, saying that Yang Jingxing liked 306 and started to follow suit.

Li Yingzhen is very open-minded and wants to listen to Yang Jingxing's works. She insists on telling the truth after listening: "The motive is good, but the chords are messy. You still need a theoretical foundation. Now is the time for you to play with transposed chords."

Yang Jingxing was very embarrassed.

The focus was still on piano practice. Li Yingzhen only gave the three primary school students half an hour, and spent the rest of the time staring at Yang Jingxing. The task Li Yingzhen assigned to Yang Jingxing today was two of Bach's creative works.

Five songs were selected, starting with the first one. Li Yingzhen did not give any instructions, and let Yang Jingxing read the score for a few minutes before playing it by feeling.

After listening to it, Li Yingzhen first praised Yang Jingxing's playing theme, but the direction of the parts was not clear enough and the decorative notes were not cut in well. What made Li Yingzhen especially funny was that at the thirteenth bar, Yang Jingxing actually Is it necessary to play the microphone with both hands at the same time?

Yang Jingxing laughed at himself: "I respect Bach."

When Zhang Chujia came to the office after teaching the primary school students below, Li Yingzhen also asked her to listen to Yang Jingxing's learning results today.

Zhang Chujia was very disdainful: "I have been playing like this since I was eight years old."

Yang Jingxing asked: "How about eighteen years old?"

Li Yingzhen laughed, looked at the time, and said: "There are still a few hours, let's watch the third part." In fact, she knew that the second part and the third part were not difficult for Yang Jingxing in terms of skills, but she also I believe that even for geniuses, learning must be gradual.

Starting from the third piece, Li Yingzhen still asked Yang Jingxing to read the score first and then play it again. While listening, she said to Hu Yiqing and Zhang Chujia: "I knew he was going to handle it this way."

Young people are supposed to be lively and cheerful, but Yang Jingxing seems to be deliberately pretending to be mature, and the theme is less friendly and more restrained.

When Yang Jingxing reached the fourteenth bar, Li Yingzhen couldn't help it and said to Zhang Chujia: "It's good here." There was a change and development of the theme here, and Yang Jingxing suddenly became active. Maybe it was because he didn't listen. The reason is that others have played it before, so it seems a bit unique to handle it myself.

To be honest, it’s quite good to be able to play like this the first time after reading the score. But Zhang Chujia was critical: “The middle part is covered.”

Yang Jingxing heard this and suddenly switched back to the fifth measure, this time without letting the high voice cover the middle voice. This guy's playing method changed faster than the sky, and Li Yingzhen laughed.

After class ended at 5:30, Li Yingzhen was anxious to go home for dinner. She said she would go to the Conservatory of Music tomorrow morning and asked Yang Jingxing not to be late. Yang Jingxing thanked her.

Hu Yiqing seemed to be afraid of owing Zhang Chujia's favor, so she suggested that the three of them have dinner together. Today we won't be eating doulao. Hu Yiqing knows a good seafood barbecue restaurant.

After sitting down in a pretty good barbecue restaurant, I looked around and found that most of the diners were sweet couples. Zhang Chujia didn't look like a music artist at all, so she started gossiping with Hu Yiqing, talking about a certain actress marrying into a wealthy family.

How about a luxurious wedding.

"Really, she is actually thirty-one, and one of our teachers knows her." Zhang Chujia revealed the inside story quite mysteriously.

Hu Yiqing didn't understand: "I can't tell, I guess 267."

Zhang Chujia looked at Hu Yiqing and said, "If you put on makeup, you would look like twenty."

Yang Jingxing was surprised: "Does it make you look older if you put on makeup?"

Hu Yiqing scolded Yang Jingxing but couldn't help laughing.

Zhang Chujia condemned Yang Jingxing: "Young and high school students, who did you learn to talk glibly from? You should be in the age of being cool now!" Then she wanted to paraphrase Hu Yiqing: "How is he in school?"

Hu Yiqing said with a smile: "I used to think he was quite cool."

Zhang Chujia asked: "Do you have a girlfriend?"

Hu Yiqing shook his head: "I don't know."

Zhang Chujia asked Yang Jingxing directly: "Honestly, is there any?"

Yang Jingxing didn't know the importance of it: "Do you have a boyfriend?"

Zhang Chujia tilted her head: "I do!"

Yang Jingxing immediately fainted: "I didn't..."

Hu Yiqing laughed, but she stopped laughing immediately because Zhang Chujia asked her: "What about you?"

Hu Yiqing shook her head: "No."

Zhang Chujia was a little skeptical: "You have such good conditions..."

Hu Yiqing asked Zhang Chujia: "Is your boyfriend from your school?"

Zhang Chujia threw the napkin: "No, I lied to him."

Yang Jingxing was sad: "I didn't even lie to you."

The two teachers are happy.

It was past eight o'clock when Yang Jingxing returned to school. He was late, and Liu Miao had already sent several text messages. He rushed to the piano room and dialed Liu Miao's phone number. It was Xia Xue who was at Liu Miao's house today.

Let’s talk about the boring stuff first. Has Puhai cooled down? Where is Jiuchun? What disappoints Liu Miao is that Yang Jingxing doesn’t plan to go home to celebrate the National Day. This is abnormal.

Liu Miao asked: "Do you really want to take the Conservatory of Music?"

"Really, encourage me."

"Are you sure? You have one idea a day."

"Pretty sure."

"It's not fun." Liu Miao didn't know what angle he was thinking about, "Then I can't come back until winter vacation?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I won't be able to go back for a few days during the winter vacation. I have to attend classes here and prepare for the exam."

Xia Xue's voice came from the other end of the phone: "I still want you to come back and play the piano for us, and I want to cheer you on."

Yang Jingxing said: "I definitely want it. Are you ready? Canon, I have been practicing carefully for a week."

Then Liu Miao's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Turn up the volume... I'll close the door and wait a moment."

After the two girls were ready, Yang Jingxing put the mobile phone above the keyboard and started. Pachelbel's Canon, this song should have the largest number of listeners in the world. There are countless versions, several legends... but it has never been

Too vulgar.

Yang Jingxing plays very seriously. This kind of seriousness means devoting himself wholeheartedly to the music and feeling every note and the melody they form. It should be said that he is devoted.

Liu Miao and Xia Xue were sitting in front of the computer, with their mobile phones placed vertically on the table. Of course, the sound quality of the hands-free phone was not as good as what they had downloaded from the Internet and played through speakers, but the slightly noisy sound of the piano made them happy.

Listening more carefully, both of them remained motionless.

It was just five minutes, but people didn't know how long it had passed. Yang Jingxing picked up the phone, waited for a while and then reminded the two girls: "Okay, the playing is over."

"It's over." Xia Xue's voice was soft.

Liu Miao said: "It seems a little different from what we heard before, but it sounds good."

Yang Jingxing was disgusted: "Thank you Miaomiao, thank you Xuexue."

Liu Miao asked: "Aren't we the first to listen this time?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Teacher, I have heard it, but you are the audience. I think I can play better than before."

Liu Miao looked at Xia Xue and complained on the phone: "I really want to see you play."

Yang Jingxing said: "There is no applause, so we won't play anymore."

Although Yang Jingxing couldn't see it, Xia Xue still smiled sweetly and clapped twice, saying, "I support you."

Liu Miao said: "I strongly support it."

Yang Jingxing asked: "What do you want to hear next week?"

This stumped the two girls. They really didn't know. Liu Miao said, "We haven't decided yet. We'll tell you tomorrow."

Xia Xue said: "It's okay to listen to Qanon, and prepare more for the exam."

Liu Miao simply said: "Play it again, I'm not satisfied yet."

Xia Xue expressed her support and applauded.

Yang Jingxing said: "Okay, I'll play it for each of you. It's fair."

After listening to Yang Jingxing play it again, Liu Miao asked, "Will your family buy a piano during the holidays?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Even if I don't buy it, I will definitely play it for you."

Xia Xue came up with an idea: "You can go to a piano store, but I don't know if the pianos there are good. Is there an electronic piano store?"

Liu Miao said: "Take a photo of yourself playing the piano and send it to us online. You haven't been online for a long time."

Yang Jingxing said: "I have to practice hard, lest you get tired of hearing it in the future."

Xia Xue said: "No."

Liu Miao asked: "Is there anyone else in your school who is admitted to the Conservatory of Music?"

"No."

"Are any classmates here to listen to you play the piano?"
