912. The reason why he is the answer given by his time
Duan Ran ignored Qin Jian's interruption, and then asked and answered himself.
"Are musicians really everywhere?"
"I don't think so.
"You are a virtuoso in my eyes."
Duan Ran stressed, "Because I know your music, I have a clear understanding of your playing level."
"But I'm not, even though I've already obtained a performer's diploma before you."
"You can play a fast octave legato right now, and it will be extremely clear."
"I can do this too."
"If someone is judging next to us, he may not be able to tell who of us is better from a technical point of view, but we must know the answer to this question between us."
"Because you can control the volume with your thumb to the same level as your little finger."
"That's the gap between me and a real performer."
"No matter how we compare in our minds, the people next to us will eventually think you are more powerful."
"Because you are the winner of the Chopin Competition."
Reaching the crossroads of concepts again, Qin Jian found that there was no difference between Duan Ran's and Langton's views.
If everything Duan Ran said above was just to prove the point that fame is equal to strength, then he felt that there was no need to continue the topic.
Of course, there is no explicit rule requiring couples to reach consensus on some issues.
"Okay, did you miss me this afternoon?"
Qin Jian raised his hand and pinched Duan Ran's little face, and stopped continuing the above topic.
Duan Ran grinned: "Of course."
Qin Jian was satisfied and took out the music folder that Langton had given him in the afternoon from his backpack, "Your semester homework."
"Thank you!" Duan Ran took it and turned it over excitedly, "It doesn't look simple."
As he said that, he took out one of the songs and started trying it out.
Duan Ran tried to play while looking at the music score, while Qin Jian paid attention to her left hand.
After Duan Ran successfully finished the audition of the whole song, Qin Jian asked: "How was the afternoon practice?"
"It's okay." Duan Ran was not sure, "Come and listen to my current scale."
Duan Ran played the two-handed scale using a different touch method than the one he just tried.
From Qin Jian's perspective, it sounds like there are changes, but there are indeed quite a few problems.
In the next hour, Qin Jian gave Duan Ran detailed demonstrations on how to use wrist strength.
Duan Ran was extremely serious during this period, and even Qin Jian's step-by-step guidance did not distract her for a moment.
After dinner, Qin Jian went back to the bedroom to do his homework, and Duan Ran wrote down his afternoon practice experience beside him.
Half an hour later, he successfully finished his homework before Duan Ran, and then sent the results to Serin's mailbox. While waiting for Duan Ran, he went to the living room to practice the piano.
Before going to bed, the two of them would still say good night to each other.
Just like before.
"Good night."
"Good night~"
——
Time just flew by.
For the next week, the two of them got up early together every day, went out to class together, happily cooked together, did homework side by side, studied professional topics seriously together, practiced piano together, and discussed the Animal Carnival together.
Live a fulfilling and happy life.
They go for a walk in the evening and go to the supermarket together on weekends.
Last night they went to the Danube River together.
It can be seen that they seem to have adapted to living together.
There are two things worth mentioning during this period.
The first thing is that in Langton's second professional class, Langton praised Duan Ran's attitude towards completing homework and said that Duan Ran's records were very detailed.
Duan Ran was also asked to continue practicing in the next month according to the "key touch method that reduces the finger strength by half".
"Professor, do you still need to continue writing with a pen?"
"certainly."
The second thing is that Qin Jian took one of Langton's open classes last Wednesday afternoon.
History of Western Music.
In class, even in front of more than sixty people, Langton still maintained his own style and talked about everything.
The content of the course is full of useful information. Qin Jian gained a lot from the time spent in one class. Some of the content he could not find in the space.
There was also a misunderstanding during this period - in the first week after arriving, Qin Jian took a total of 9 classes. Except for Langton's class, the attendance rate of students in other classes was low.
At first, he mistakenly thought that everyone liked this course. It wasn’t until he went to have lunch with Frank and Eileen after class that he realized the real reason was that Langton’s course was known as the Vienna National University in recent years.
The course with the highest failure rate.
Frank: "Your professor never calls anyone by name, but at the end of the semester, he will spend one class time writing everyone's absence record for the semester on the blackboard. Anyone who is absent for more than three periods will not be allowed to take his exam. That's it."
Not even his own students."
Erin: "Professor Koch told us when we entered school that if we want to successfully obtain our diploma, we should not miss Professor Langton's class."
This sounded a bit like some domestic university teachers to Qin Jian, so he could only smile.
Even an old man like Koch, who he regarded as cautious in his words and deeds, could say such a thing, which shows how terrifying Langton is.
But there was something more interesting to Frank in his words, "Have all the other students of Professor Langton graduated?"
It has been a week since he officially enrolled in school, and Qin Jian hasn't met his other classmates yet. During this period, he didn't ask, and Langton didn't mention them either.
When Frank heard Qin Jian's question, he suppressed a smile and looked like he didn't know whether he should say it or not.
Qin Jian smiled and signaled to the other party but said it didn't matter, "It's a secret between us."
Believing the guarantee of winning the Chopin Competition, Frank spoke up: "There was a student in Langton who was one level higher than us and entered the school through unconventional channels. As a result, after that student's Western Music History was failed by Langton, he...
I applied to the college to change my tutor.”
Qin Jian: "What then?"
Frank: "Then Langton had no students. Before that, I was still in Germany and didn't know the situation here. Anyway, before you and your girlfriend came, he didn't even have a single student."
Eileen added: "At first we wondered whether you would come to Professor Koch."
Qin Jian smiled: "I have been paying attention to Professor Koch for a long time. Just because of some personal reasons, I finally chose Professor Langton. If I have the opportunity, I still have some questions that I would like to ask Professor Koch for advice."
Frank seemed to be very happy with Qin Jian's words: "You are always welcome in Piano Classroom No. 2. You can bring your girlfriend with you then."
Qin Jian: "I will definitely do it when the time comes."
——
In this way, a lunch gave Qin Jian two more friends at school who he could really talk to, instead of those classmates who looked at him with colored eyes.
It was Monday afternoon again, and when Qin Jian walked into the harmony classroom again, there were still few people in the classroom.
In order to avoid being late again, he came ten minutes early today.
Serin didn't expect Qin Jian to come again, and took the initiative to talk to her: "Professor Serin, have you completed my homework well?"
"very perfect."
Celine doesn't know how to describe it other than perfect. Qin Jian used the harmonious markings she was accustomed to to make the harmonies of the three scores beautiful and neat.
"Thanks."
Qin Jian returned to his seat and continued to wait for today's topic. According to what was said at the end of class last time, today should be about Haydn's works. He was looking forward to it.
