Second Piano Concerto

Qin Haiou received too much praise in the past, and most people around him looked at him with admiration, envy and expectation.The reason why Longjin Town made him feel relaxed physically and mentally was because the people here treated him as an ordinary young man.Although Liu Yang recognized him from the very beginning, she has always been very careful, so she didn't put too much pressure on him.

Qin Haiou was a little worried that what happened in the morning would change Tan Shuo's attitude. He worried that after Tan Shuo knew his identity and current situation, he would not chat and joke with him casually like before.But he soon discovered that this worry was unnecessary.Tan Shuo expressed his admiration for his achievements and his concern about his plight, but whether it was admiration or concern, there was a unique calmness in it, especially when he learned about his psychological problems , Tan Shuo's reaction was different from everyone else's.Tan Shuo didn't seem to think this was a serious problem, and immediately pointed out the most optimistic side of the predicament for him.Later, the two left the coffee shop and walked back. Tan Shuo's conversation along the way was the same as usual, and the atmosphere between the two was not affected by what happened just now.This finally made Qin Haiou feel relieved.

Now that they know each other better, Tan Shuo already knows his secret, and he can put aside many worries in front of Tan Shuo.It's a joy.Qin Haiou was already hungry, and because he was in a good mood, he ate more than usual.Zhuzhu saw the two of them coming back together on the second floor of the inn. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they threw themselves at the table under the parasol and buried their heads in cooking, without even caring to look up at her. Tan Shuo just let it go, and Qin Haiou did the same Zhuzhu felt strange, went downstairs and asked: "What are you doing, so hungry?"

Tan Shuo casually perfunctory while picking up vegetables: "It's normal for young people to eat a lot when they grow up."

Zhuzhu didn't bother to pay attention to him, and turned to look at Qin Haiou.

Qin Haiou was enjoying his meal, and he was still thinking about what happened in the morning, so he was inevitably a little absent-minded. At this moment, he felt Zhuzhu's gaze, and when he looked up and saw her looking at him, he panicked and couldn't make up a good reason Come on, in a hurry, I copied Tan Shuo without thinking: "We...grow our bodies."

Tan Shuo laughed so much that he spit out his rice.

Zhuzhu glared at him, then looked at Qin Haiou, her expression became a little serious: "Xiao Qin, don't let him lead you into trouble, this guy doesn't speak human words all day long, and those who are close to ink are black, do you understand?" Understand?"

"Hmm, um..." Qin Haiou also knew that he was stupid, but he couldn't explain himself, so he kept nodding.

Zhuzhu glared at Tan Shuo again, told Qin Haiou that there was still food in the pot in the kitchen, and then left.

The two wolfed down their meal, and Qin Haiou was still thinking about what Tan Shuo said on the way back, "I didn't handle it well enough", so he asked him what was not good enough.Tan Shuo said: "Come with me!" Then he got up and walked to the rice noodle shop.

Qin Haiou followed Tan Shuo into the rice noodle shop through the back door, and the shop was busy at the time. Seeing that they finally came back after eating, Ah Mao shouted excitedly: "Boss, Brother Qin!"

Tan Shuo pretended not to hear, turned his foot and went straight up the stairs.

There is a narrow staircase leading to the second floor at the back door of the rice noodle shop.Qin Haiou knew that Tan Shuo usually lived upstairs, but he had never gone up there. Now that Tan Shuo wanted to take him up there, he couldn't care about Amao for a while, and turned around and shouted at him, "I'll help you in a while." !”, followed Tan Shuo upstairs.

Tan Shuo stood at the door on the second floor and took out the keys. Qin Haiou asked, "Do you have the sheet music for 'La Er'?"

Tan Shuo said: "Maybe there is, you will find out when you look for it." Then he turned the key and opened the door.

It's like another world inside the door.

Tan Shuo opened the door and walked in.Qin Haiou followed him and took two steps in, but couldn't move anymore.

This is a whole open room with no obstacles in the middle, and the end can be seen at a glance, but there is a small toilet and bathroom separated on the left hand side of the entrance.Bookshelves, cabinets, and CD racks are lined up side by side on the walls of the house. Books, music sheets, and CDs are packed wherever they can be loaded. If they can’t be filled, such as the top of the bookcase, the owner of the house stacks music sheets one by one. They are piled on top of each other, regardless of whether they are stacked neatly or whether there will be a large-scale collapse.

In addition, the belongings in the house also included a messy single bed and a computer desk placed under the window.There were several bamboo baskets stuffed under the single bed, and I don't know what was in them.A desktop computer, a set of speakers and an electronic keyboard are supported on the computer table, and the rest of the table is also covered with paper and sheet music.But the most unbearable thing was the floor—Tan Shuo didn't know what he was playing here before, but the floor was covered with scores, some piled up together, and some turned over and spread out on the ground.As soon as Qin Haiou stepped into the gate, he was hindered by the score on the ground. He looked down and looked again, but felt that there was no place to set foot in this room, so he had to stand still.

"What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and help me find it!" Just when Qin Haiou was struggling, Tan Shuo had already stepped on the gap between the scores and walked to a bookcase and started searching.Qin Haiou felt that it was too difficult to find a score in this room, so he asked blankly, "How to find it?"

"You look over there, I'll look over here." Tan Shuo waved his hand and deployed generously.

Qin Haiou had no choice but to bite the bullet and look for it. Fortunately, it didn't take long for him to hear Tan Shuo's "Oh!", as if he had found it.He hurriedly turned his head to look, but saw that Tan Shuo was pulling the bottom one of the stack of scores on the top of the cabinet with his hand, and was trying to pull it out.Before Qin Haiou had time to speak, Tan Shuo had already pulled out the sheet music recklessly, and the sheet music on the top of the cabinet was tilted, and the whole stack fell down with a "crash", stirring up a cloud of dust on the ground.

"I found it! Let me have a look..." Tan Shuo blew on the score in his hand while talking, and opened the score to flip through it.Qin Haiou finally couldn't stand it anymore, and while he was looking through the scores, he picked up the scores that had been dropped on the ground one by one, and piled them up again into a neat pile.

"Here it is!" Tan Shuo said at this moment, pointing to the score.Qin Haiou moved his head closer and saw that what he was holding was the score of Rachmaninoff's "Second Piano Concerto".Tan Shuo pointed to some bars in the first movement and said: "I think you played this place too lightly."

"Why?" Qin Haiou asked.

Tan Shuo thought for a while, but did not tell him the reason directly, but connected these few bars with the previous and subsequent parts, and reorganized this piece of music for him.Qin Haiou didn't quite understand Tan Shuo's intention at first, but after listening to it, he asked a few questions, and Tan Shuo explained it to him in detail.

The more Qin Haiou listened, the more energetic he became, because he found that Tan Shuo's thinking in analyzing the works was very different from what he was familiar with.In the past, when his piano teacher was instructing him, he often analyzed the works from a technical point of view, and then discussed and screened different performance methods and the different effects they brought.This is how a typical player thinks.But Tan Shuo's thinking is not the case.What Tan Shuo explained to Qin Haiou was more about the music itself: how the music develops in this segment, why the composer wants it to develop like this, and through such development, what the composer wants to express.This is looking at music from the creator's point of view.It is different from the perspective of the performer, and it thinks more deeply about the work.This made Qin Haiou feel very fresh.He felt that Tan Shuo had opened a new window for him. Although the window was facing the same scenery, his perception had changed.This change brought him new inspiration and inspiration, which surprised him a lot.

He listened carefully to Tan Shuo's words, and then thought about it for a while, feeling that there was still more to say, and he really wanted to try it on the piano immediately.But Tan Shuo doesn't have a piano here, only an electronic keyboard.Qin Haiou had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, touched the score and said, "Can I read it again?"

Tan Shuo knew that he was interested in coming and wanted to figure it out by himself, so he handed him the sheet music and pointed casually: "Find a place for yourself to sit, I'll go downstairs and have a look."

After he finished speaking, he went out and went downstairs, leaving Qin Haiou alone in the room.Qin Haiou kept in mind that he was a guest, so he first looked at the swivel chair in front of the computer desk, which should be the place where the owner usually sits. He felt that it was not appropriate to move it, and then looked at the single bed beside him, and felt that it was not appropriate to move it either. .Finally, he found a small wooden stool at the foot of the bed, so he put together the music scores spread out on the floor according to the order in which they were laid out, and made a small space. On the stool, put the score on your lap.

After he sat down like this, he didn't immediately pick up the score to read.Now he already knew that this room, like the rice noodle shop downstairs, was a part of Tan Shuo's life.Although the sparrow here is small, it has all internal organs. Whether it is listening to music, reading or creating, you can do it here.However, unlike the rice noodle shop, this small space only belongs to Tan Shuo.Through Liu Yang's reaction, Qin Haiou can feel that Tan Shuo seems to have always isolated this place from the outside world. There is a strict boundary between upstairs and downstairs, and the two parts of life do not intersect and do not interfere with each other.

Qin Haiou looked at the room carefully again.He knew that Tan Shuo had to sleep until noon every day before getting up. He used to think that this was just a habit formed by the owner of the rice noodle shop who liked to be lazy, but now he has a new view on this habit.He couldn't help but imagine what Tan Shuo would be doing here when he wasn't looking at the store: Was he thinking with the score like he is now?Or lie on the computer desk and write until late at night?Or lying on a single bed listening to a CD from one of those CD racks?

Why on earth is this person living in such a state?

Qin Haiou sat on the small wooden bench and thought about it for a while, before turning his attention back to the score on his lap.He recollected the paragraph Tan Shuo just mentioned, and flipped through the score back and forth, and found that there were notes made by Tan Shuo in many places, most of which were his experience when studying this work. , but also artistically.Qin Haiou was very interested, so he simply turned back to the first page and read it from the beginning. Whenever he encountered a place with notes, he stopped to think about it.Tan Shuo's handwriting was very scribbled, and some words seemed to be blurred because of the time.Qin Haiou wrote down what he didn't understand one by one, and when Tan Shuo finished his work and returned upstairs, he asked these questions, and the two discussed again.

Tan Shuo got up early today as an exception, and worked in the store for a while after lunch. By the afternoon, he was already yawning again and again. After answering Qin Haiou's question, he fell down on the bed and fell asleep.He fell asleep and slept until dinner at night. When he woke up, he saw Qin Haiou still sitting on the small stool, and his posture of looking down at the score did not change.Tan Shuo didn't bother him either, and went to work again after washing his face.

Qin Haiou didn't notice the movement around him.He has been completely immersed in thinking about music.Although he is very familiar with this work, he has studied it repeatedly and carefully many times in the past in order to play it, but today through discussions with Tan Shuo and studying Tan Shuo's notes, he unexpectedly Gained a new understanding of this work.

This feeling was so wonderful that Qin Haiou couldn't stop.In recent years, due to his busy performances, he has rarely had the opportunity to calm down and study and think for a long time.Since coming to this town, he has been far away from the world of music. Although he has rested his body and mind, he is like a fish out of water. Even if he can play the piano in Liuyang's shop, he will inevitably feel thirsty and lonely.But today he finally returned to his own world.He sat here and watched it non-stop for several hours. Not only did he not feel tired at all, but he gained a lot. He was extremely satisfied spiritually and felt indescribably free and happy.He didn't see Tan Shuo getting up and going downstairs. He always felt that it was still early, until it was getting dark outside and the lights were not turned on in the room, and his eyes were getting more and more difficult. Then he suddenly realized that it was time for dinner.

He hurriedly put down the score and went downstairs to help.Sure enough, the rice noodle shop was already full of people, and Tan Shuo and Amao were busily busy.Seeing that the braised pork on the cutting board had been cut in half and thrown there, Qin Haiou picked up the kitchen knife and planned to cut it up.Unexpectedly, as soon as he grabbed the knife, he heard Tan Shuo sternly shouting from behind: "Put down the knife!"

Qin Haiou was startled, and quickly put the knife back.Tan Shuo immediately confiscated the kitchen knife, and scolded with a straight face: "Play by yourself! Don't make trouble!"

Qin Haiou had never seen him so nervous. In the past, Tan Shuo was eager to push the work to others.Qin Haiou realized why he did this after reacting for a while, and suddenly found it funny: "I'm already very proficient, and I won't cut my hand again!"

"No!" Tan Shuo resolutely said, "If there is a mistake, what compensation do you want me to pay? Then Liu Yang is going to eat me?!"

Qin Haiou thought she almost came to you last time, but kindly didn't mention it.He saw that Tan Shuo was unwilling to give in on the issue of cutting vegetables, so he turned around and served rice noodles.Tan Shuo was so busy that he was sweating profusely, so he had no time to spend with him. Seeing that he had already picked up the bowls in one hand, he could only yell, "Don't burn it!" and let him go.
