907. Sister's Confession: A Piano Part About Animal Carnival
In the end, Qin Jian finally tasted the signature dessert of "Cramer" Cafe, mango mousse.
Just as Langton described it, it's so sweet that it melts in your mouth.
With the silky fragrance of mango in his mouth, recalling the melody of the Prelude to Op. 28-23, Qin Jian imagined that in Langton's world, F major was most likely to be yellow.
So he talked about Liao Linjun and asked Langton if the two were familiar with each other. As a result, he got an answer that was contrary to what Liao Linjun said.
"I was very familiar with her. I was still working as a teaching assistant for Bachmann at that time. She had just transferred to the keyboard department. We got to know each other on the first day. I praised her style at the Medask Competition, and then we started talking.
Became good friends."
Liao Linjun's actual words were - "We have almost no contact in life, and he is too sloppy."
However, when Liao Linjun learned that Qin Jian wanted to choose Langton as his mentor, he did not raise any objection.
You must know that Liao Linjun's care, love and care for him go far beyond the normal teacher-student relationship.
Based on her understanding of Liao Linjun, the other party's lack of objection was, from another perspective, support.
This could be said to be the decisive straw at the time. The balance between Qin Jian's heart was broken at that time, and eventually fell to Langton's side.
Even after the Koch concert, Qin Jian had some reasonable doubts about the two teachers.
But objectively speaking, Liao Linjun's position as chief mentor was still unshakable in his heart, let alone at that time.
Therefore, Liao Linjun's attitude can affect his judgment of the current situation to a certain extent.
"What do you think of her?" Qin Jian then asked.
Langton replied without hesitation: "A learned performer."
"I divide all performers into four categories, and she is the category I admire most. Her knowledge is much broader than that of a technical master in the usual sense."
I heard a new term, learned performer.
Qin Jian asked again: "What about Shen Qingci?"
Langton hesitated, "He has unparalleled technical talent, but I don't appreciate his music. It's too gorgeous and covers up the music itself, just like a lady with an elegant temperament applying strong perfume and destroying her music."
Its own natural beauty.”
"Of course, it is undeniable that among today's technical performers, his finger technical achievements are at least twenty years ahead of his time. I have always wanted to ask him face to face what the finger spacing of his right hand is."
"Only nine degrees." Qin Jian gave the answer directly.
Langton opened his mouth, "Then his octave technique is absolutely unique."
Qin Jian 100% agrees with this. His octave technology started to grow rapidly after being guided by Shen Qingci.
And octave technology occupies most of the territory in piano skills.
Qin Jian originally wanted to ask the other party's evaluation of Koch, including himself.
But after much deliberation, I finally didn't say anything.
Because he found that in just half an afternoon, his thoughts had already begun to be influenced by the other party.
This is not a good thing.
There were too many fresh nouns mixed with knowledge blind spots that he could not see, which gave people an extremely fresh feeling at first glance.
This kind of freshness makes it easy for people to fall into some misunderstandings.
He is no longer the young boy who has never seen the world.
He was skeptical about all this before he actually saw it.
Especially after hearing that the other party strongly denied that Norman did not understand Beethoven and claimed that he was the person in Vienna who knew Beethoven best, he could understand that the other party might really have the truth, but when it came to the relationship between Liao Linjun and Liao Linjun
In terms of description, Langton actually boasted a lot.
But it doesn't matter. At least today's first meeting, Qin Jian was quite satisfied overall.
At least he was not disappointed. He paid careful attention to every detail during the whole process of Duan Ran's class.
When Langton asked Duan Ran to take notes, he also wrote down every answer given by Duan Ran.
This teaching attitude is worthy of recognition.
As Langton said later, Duan Ran's attention did focus too much on Liszt personally, but behind this was almost related to the issues of the entire Romantic period.
As for him personally, although Langton left get out of class without communicating with him about teaching issues, he still gained a lot.
He did not take the initiative to bring up Beethoven's question again, and finally chatted for a while about the weather in Vienna. The three of them agreed to meet today next week, and then he and Duan Ran left first.
Before leaving, Langton reminded the two of them, "Don't forget to pick up the score tomorrow afternoon. I'll be in the office after three o'clock."
After the two left, Langton opened his work diary again, then took out a pencil from his pocket, and then started drawing on a new page.
The way he holds the pen really looks like painting.
While drawing, he stopped from time to time to make a recalling expression.
——
On the way back to the apartment, the two of them walked hand in hand on Conse Street. They chatted to themselves, and the pedestrians and vehicles going back and forth seemed to become their background.
"It's okay. Overall, it's pretty much what I expected. What do you think?"
"It's not bad. His ideas are quite fresh. I really want to try the homework he assigned, but he doesn't seem to have assigned anything to you this week."
"No? Didn't you ask me to help you?"
"Haha, Teacher Qin's small class is about to start again."
At this point, Qin Jian thought about the piano problem in the house, so he called Baudelaire.
On the phone, he directly ordered a b211 model grand piano, and then provided his current address.
After hanging up the phone, Qin Jian settled his worries. Previously, he wanted to buy a 274s in one step, but he considered that placing the 274s in the living room would seriously affect the living space.
As a result, the quality of life may be greatly compromised.
No one wants to come home from a busy day and face an extremely crowded living room.
Even though that's more than 3 million.
Of course, the price of b211 is not cheap.
Little Fatty Duan said with some distress, "Isn't it too expensive? We won't live here forever, and it won't be nice when we leave."
Qin Jian smiled: "If we buy this house in the future, we should prepare it in advance. Besides, the piano is also a necessity in our life."
As he said that, he put his arms around Duan Ran and walked towards the apartment, "Let's go home first and rest for a while. I want to go to the concert hall to watch a concert in the evening."
Duan Ran was obedient and didn't ask any questions. He leaned against Qin Jian and imagined a future home for the two of them.
At the same time, she was also thinking about the task assigned to her by Langton. If the strength of her fingers could be reduced by half, perhaps the burden on her left little finger could be reduced.
Even after intense practice, she could still feel the pain caused by bending her lower finger.
Compared to what she was used to, she didn't mind the pain.
——
Just after the two of them arrived home, Langton also hurriedly put away his pencils in Cramer's Cafe.
At this time, there was a lifelike sketch of his left hand on the work diary spread out in front of him.
Duan Ran will be familiar with this hand better than anyone else.
He looked at his painting carefully.
After a moment, Langton closed the diary, and then hurried back to his private space,
