Chapter 14 Lollipop

"I now and probably know your current piano level. If you want to be admitted to a good university at your current level, it is basically impossible, because your basic skills are too poor, and your understanding of music is almost zero."

Seeing that Zhao Zitong wanted to refute, He Shen immediately reached out to stop her, and asked quickly.

"If you want to refute, it's very simple. Take the work you are practicing now as an example. Please describe the harmony trend at the beginning of Chopin's First Piano Ballade, the structure, the off-key indicator tone, and the subsequent modulation. What level do you turn to?"

"The overall emotional change curve, performance strength, light and dark relationship between strength and weakness, color conflicts, narrative logic, what are these?"

"I!"

Zhao Zitong bared her teeth and wanted to refute, but found that she didn't even understand what He Shen said, so she couldn't help humming twice, and lay down on the back of the chair, not bothering to pay attention to He Shen.

He Shen also guessed that Zhao Zitong didn't understand what he was talking about at all, so he continued to speak without any pause.

"So, every day after that, you have to start practicing the basic skills. The basic skills are the foundation of music. If your basic skills are not solid, you will easily have various unexpected situations when you play other works later."

"However, I found that you have an advantage, that is, your ears are very good, and you can clearly hear what you are playing."

"What did you hear yourself playing?" Zhao Zitong didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

He Shen immediately explained: "Hearing what I am playing is a very important talent, just like me, it was difficult for me to hear what I played before, so I can only rely on a tape recorder to record my performance, and then not Stop listening, keep revising, and finally remember that feeling and play it out.”

"It's different for you. You have one less recorder step than me. You can listen to your performance directly, and then start to correct it according to the version I gave you. This is a very amazing talent."

Of course, basically everyone has this talent in the later stage of music learning. If they don't have this ability, they will be eliminated as early as the middle stage.

He Shen didn't say this point, there is no need to keep beating students, but to encourage students, so that students have the motivation to keep moving forward.

Zhao Zitong naturally didn't know what He Shen was hiding. When she heard He Shen's praise, the corners of her mouth naturally turned up, and she said proudly.

"Of course, I'm my father's daughter. My father is the best piano player in Jiangzhou University of the Arts. How can I embarrass him?"

"Well, so, keep practicing. After the basic skills practice this morning, we will start to practice the music in the afternoon. It is your Chopin Piano Ballade No. [-]. We will divide it into the first part today."

He Shen glanced at the time, it was almost 11:30, and his stomach was already feeling hungry, so he opened the door of Zhao Zitong's room directly, and was about to leave, to have some lunch, and to continue class in the afternoon.

This morning is not completely fruitless, at least Zhao Zitong's problem has been sorted out.

At this moment, Zhao Zitong's stomach also growled.

He Shen immediately turned his attention to Zhao Zitong.

"You, what do you see me doing? I'm just hungry, aren't you hungry?" Zhao Zitong said angrily.

"That's it..." He Shen nodded, took out a lollipop from his pocket, carefully peeled off the outer layer of plastic paper, and handed it to her: "Would you like one? Eat some after practicing the piano Sweet, good for the brain."

"Huh? Uh...thank you." Zhao Zitong hesitated for a while, and finally took the lollipop from He Shen's hand and put it in her mouth. A spicy taste rushed directly from the tip of her tongue to Tianling Gai, scaring her She almost spit out the lollipop.

But in the next moment, a sweetness gushed out, instantly erasing the spiciness.

Feeling the sweetness blooming in his mouth, Zhao Zitong slowly came to his senses.

"How is it? Not bad, right? This is the latest product of the Great White Pisces Rabbit, mustard and green pepper flavored lollipops."

He Shen pushed a new one out and stuffed it into his mouth, feeling the sweetness in his mouth, his words obviously increased a lot.

"The small shop in front of my house has the last five left. The boss sold all five of them to me directly. You are lucky to get one."

"I'd rather have a plain lollipop..."

The corners of Zhao Zitong's mouth twitched, but she suddenly felt a little curious.

For a person who is so good at playing the piano, his biggest hobby is actually eating lollipops, and he also likes to eat lollipops in front of other people, without caring about the eyes of the people around him.

"Hey, that, why do you like eating lollipops so much?" Zhao Zitong asked suddenly.

"I'm not called Hey, I'm He Shen, you can call me Teacher He, or He Shen, or Teacher, whatever you want."

"Okay, okay, I'll call you He Shen, He Shen, why do you like to eat lollipops? Isn't this usually eaten by children?"

Zhao Zitong looked at He Shen curiously, waiting for his answer.

He Shen didn't answer immediately, but after thinking for a while, he began to explain.

"To put it simply, lollipops can add sugar to my brain. When I am playing the piano, I have to think about a lot of things, far more than you can imagine, so my brain consumes more energy."

"For example, if I play any piece of work at random, when I am playing, I first need to get the rhythm in my mind, then think about the phrase, feel the strength of my fingers, the logical direction of the harmony, etc., etc., etc., not directly closed Eyes on keyboards."

"Oh……"

Zhao Zitong stopped talking, bit the lollipop in his mouth into pieces, threw the stick aside, stood up and stretched, then walked out of the house, fiddled with the kitchen, and dug out two bags of potato chips , and handed one of the bags to He Shen.

"No, this is what I like to eat. I don't like to owe people. You gave me your lollipop, so I'll give you a bag of potato chips. It's even."

After all, she threw the potato chips into He Shen's arms, and regardless of whether he could catch it or not, she tore open a bag and ate it first.

In this way, the two took a short break during lunch in extremely silence, drank some water, made some bread, and when it was around one o'clock in the afternoon, He Shen continued to guide Chopin's first piano ballade.

In this way, the time came to night.

He Shen glanced at the time. It was almost five o'clock. According to his plan, Zhao Zitong had perfectly achieved his goal today.

In the afternoon practice, from one o'clock to five o'clock, I kept grinding the beginning, that is, from the first measure to the second measure of No.30.

For four full hours, only these [-] bars were polished, the sound was correct, the rhythm of the sound was no problem, the music lines were barely made, the relationship between strength and weakness, and the contrast between light and dark were also presented a little bit.

In this way, at least today there is no waste.

He Shen nodded in satisfaction, bid farewell to Zhao Zitong, and left first.

After a while, Xi Shuwen came back.
