Chapter 345 0345, Embarrassed Music Genius (2) [Please Subscribe, Please Vote]
After years of continuous practice, Yunfeng has upgraded his original [Skill Piano: Easy·Amateur] to [Skill Piano: Stand out·Professional], and his skills are not inferior to Tang Yu.
The notes flowed slowly from his jumping fingertips, with a bit of magic and mystery, like the sound of spring water flowing in the mountains.
Tang Yu couldn't help but listen to it with a little obsession.
It is not difficult to play this piece completely, but it cannot be just for showing off skills. You need to put your emotions into it and show it to the audience. Otherwise, why not just input the score of a piano piece into the piano software and let the computer play it.
Maybe in the future AI will learn, imitate human emotions and express them, but now, only humans can do it.
"Dong."
After the last note was played, the performance of this "Chopin·Black Key Etude" was over.
Yunfeng was a little reluctant to finish. A master is a master. Although it is just an ordinary piece among Chopin's many piano pieces, it still makes people feel wonderful and amazing.
He turned around, facing Tang Yu, and asked, "How about this song?"
Tang Yu's eyes sparkled with little stars, and she replied, "Good music can make people's souls fly. I just felt that way."
It was a bit exaggerated, but Yunfeng was very pleased, and a bright smile immediately appeared on his face.
Tang Yu asked curiously, "What is the name of this song?"
Yunfeng brought out a set of words he had prepared in advance, saying, "This song was inspired by a piece of exercise by Claire. I haven't named it yet."
Tang Yu recalled the priority of his left and right hands on the black and white keys just now, and a light bulb suddenly flashed in his mind, saying, "Then, why not call it 'Black Key Exercise'?"
Yunfeng heard it, isn't this a coincidence, and said, "Okay."
Tang Yu moved the stool and sat side by side with him, and his white fingers flew on the keys.
More than a minute later
She giggled and asked, "How did I play?"
Yunfeng was surprised and said, "I only played it once, and you remembered 60 to 70 percent. That's amazing..."
Tang Yu pouted and said, "Ah? I got 40 percent wrong."
Yunfeng: "..."
If he had to remember it, he could only remember 30 to 40 percent at most. Although the whole song only takes more than a minute, the speed is very fast, and there are more corresponding notes.
Tang Yu felt that this song could show both piano skills and creative talent, and it was no worse than Claire's piano exercises. There would be no problem taking it to participate in this national piano competition.
She moved her fingers and said, "Teach me quickly, I want to learn."
Yunfeng started playing again, originally for her.
After a few times.
Tang Yu could play it completely.
She adjusted her mood, closed her eyes gently, and prepared to play it again.
Gradually, she increased her hand speed and tried to make some changes to the song.
Improvisation is one of the essential abilities of a pianist. It can be done by making various variations of the main melody through decoration, changing pitch and changing rhythm, and sometimes even changing the original song beyond recognition.
However, this attempt did not succeed.
But Tang Yu did not give up.
She felt that she had a certain level of piano literacy now, and could give a song a different soul. If she could not do this, what kind of pianist is she? At most, she would be a pianist.
Yunfeng understood her intention and the direction of the adaptation, but he did not speak out to give a hint, just watching quietly.
People have self-esteem. If you are not suitable to help, don't help unless someone asks you to.
However, Tang Yu found the feeling in the second attempt.
In the original song, the right hand is all black keys, which needs to be played at a very fast speed (116 Bpm) without error, and the left hand is in line with the main melody.
She first played some black keys, and then changed the key from the original G flat major to G major, thus turning the black keys into white keys.
At this moment, Yunfeng's mouth opened wide and his eyes were bulging, obviously he was amazed by her adaptation.
Because this is the way to adapt this song in the piano duel in the movie "Secret".
After the song was finished, before Tang Yu could speak, Yunfeng said: "Wife, your skills and accomplishments are at the top of the list. I won't believe it if you don't win the championship of this national piano competition."
Tang Yu was praised by him, and a faint pink rose on her face. She said: "How can you praise me like this? There are mountains outside mountains and people outside people. You are much better than me."
Yunfeng smiled and said: "We are similar, that is, the 'Tang Yu in the South and Yun Feng in the North' in the current piano world."
Tang Yu chuckled. She hit him and said, "What about 'Tang Yu in the South, Yun Feng in the North'? Don't tell anyone about it."
Yun Feng hugged her and said, "It's only a matter of time."
Tang Yu quickly changed the subject. If he continued, she didn't know what title he would come up with. She said, "Didn't you say you wrote several melodies? This is just one."
Yun Feng pretended to think and said after a moment, "There is another relatively complete one. The rest are only a few bars."
As he said that, he played Chopin's Waltz in C-sharp minor.
"Waltz in C-sharp minor" was dedicated by Chopin to his close lover George Sand. Although the two failed to overcome many obstacles and enter the marriage hall, this waltz fully expresses Chopin's attempt to forget the tragic real life and immerse himself in the illusory sweet dream world he created.
It is called "Waltz", but it is not a dance music for dance accompaniment at all, but a real waltz lyric poem.
When the melody sounded.
The sound of the piano was gentle as the wind, making Tang Yu feel that the melody was extremely beautiful.
But...
After the rapid whirlwind flow, this song repeatedly started the main melody and ended in anxiety.
It can be said that it is sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes high and sometimes low.
And emotions are closely related to the phrases, the fading of small phrases and the ups and downs of large phrases.
In Yunfeng's hands, in the piano notes, all emotions are expressed.
Carefully recalling this piece of music, it seems to bring back a memory full of sorrow, and I feel the unspeakable sadness hidden behind the melody.
Tang Yu's eyes suddenly shone with tears for some reason.
Chopin is not only an outstanding pianist but also a piano composer. He left us many beautiful and pleasant songs, so he is called the "piano poet".
In addition to two piano concertos, four piano and orchestral works, and a few chamber music and songs, all his works are piano solos.
Yunfeng feels very honored to be able to use Chopin's music, which is also the advantage of a time traveler.
Tang Yu leaned gently on Yunfeng's shoulder and said, "I will play this song in the finals."
After a pause, he said, "By the way, have you named this song?"
Yunfeng threw away the words he had prepared in advance, because he recalled the story of the creation of the original song, the love between Chopin and George Sand, and suddenly felt inspired. He said softly, "How about calling it 'Love and Sorrow'?"
Tang Yu responded with a "hmm", and then asked mischievously, "The songs you have created recently are all sad. Aren't you afraid that your fans will be depressed after listening to them?"
Yunfeng thought of something funny when he heard this.
In the previous life on Earth, the audience gave "NetEase Cloud Music" the title of "Netease Depression Cloud". Will the fans give themselves the title of "Song Depression Cloud" in the future?
Seeing his smile, Tang Yu asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"No, nothing." Yunfeng calmed down and said, "Don't worry, the theme song for the first world challenge of the online game "Divine Domain" will be a shocking, passionate, and hot-blooded song. Depression will also be saved."
Tang Yu asked with interest, "Have you started composing?"
Yunfeng made up a lie, because it was not good to come up with too many songs at once, so he replied, "I have a general direction, and I will look for inspiration these days."
Tang Yu nodded and said, "Then let's go out for a walk on the weekend, go to the beach or go hiking, get close to nature, and inspiration will come quickly."
This is also Yunfeng's common method of finding inspiration. I think it's okay, so I said, "Okay, but this time I won't call other people. Let's have a good time together."
