Second Piano Concerto

After Tan Shuo and Liu Yang left, Qin Haiou finally calmed down and thought about what happened just now.

Just now, when he suddenly realized what Liu Yang was referring to, he was shocked at first, and also a little confused, because he actually didn't quite know how it happened, why he was unconsciously Tan Shuo played in front of him.Hearing Liu Yang's question later, his thoughts were pulled again, and he couldn't help sliding to the pessimistic side.It wasn't until Tan Shuo slapped him back to his senses that he was able to recall the whole thing independently, and the feeling of joy that had been suppressed by other emotions before slowly seeped out from the bottom of his heart like the spring water in the spring's eye being suppressed by a boulder.

In any case, he can at least play in front of Tan Shuo, he is no longer isolated, it seems that he was already ready to play in front of an empty auditorium, but suddenly found that the audience did not know When did a person sit in.This person doesn't make him nervous, doesn't stress him out, and he doesn't know why, but the feeling of being both physically and mentally relaxed is real.This feeling brought him great joy, and once the spring water gushed out, it was out of control and washed away all other negative emotions.He doesn't know if he's really going to get better, but it doesn't matter right now.At least he had a good sign, and he had a little more hope-at least for this moment, he was willing to believe that things were going in a good direction.

He sat quietly in the piano room, allowing these thoughts and feelings to churn in his heart, until the surging joy gradually settled down and became warm and stable, then he turned his attention back to Tan Shuo's scores.

He remembered that Tan Shuo said before leaving that he would go back to get the equipment, so he rearranged the messed up scores in order and waited while playing the piano.Tan Shuo came back not long after, with a computer bag and two large pockets in his hand, which were full of equipment such as microphones, microphone stands, sound cards, and headphones.Qin Haiou saw that he was busy taking out these things and splicing them up as soon as he entered the room, so he was a little surprised and asked, "Is this going to be recorded?"

"Yes!" Tan Shuo nodded.

Qin Haiou had something on his mind just now. Although he heard Tan Shuo say that he wanted to get the equipment to finish the recording earlier, he didn't think much about it. He just thought he wanted to bring the equipment over for debugging first.Seeing his posture now, I realized that he was really anxious to finish the recording as soon as possible, so he hurriedly said, "Is it okay to record tomorrow? I want to practice again!"

Tan Shuo stopped, turned to look at Qin Haiou, and was about to ask why, but suddenly changed his mind.

With Qin Haiou's ability, he didn't need to practice at all to record something like this.The piano part in this work has no technical difficulty for Qin Haiou, which Tan Shuo knows very well.And it was precisely because he was clear that he immediately realized that Qin Haiou's "practice" did not refer to technical practice, but meant that he wanted to do more thinking and polishing on the processing of music.

In Tan Shuo's opinion, Qin Haiou's performance quality is not only far superior to ordinary people, but also exceeds his expectations for recording this work. Even if he records now, the result will definitely satisfy Li Zhenqiang.In addition, due to the busy creation these days, Tan Shuo didn't have a good rest. At this time, Tan Shuo was very tired. He just wanted to finish the recording quickly, and then go back to sleep for a day and a night.However, when he thought of Qin Haiou's purpose of practicing the piano and what happened just now, he immediately gave up the plan and said, "Okay, then record tomorrow!"

Qin Haiou was really happy: "Okay! The coffee shop is open now, and it's not convenient to play for too long. I'll come over early tomorrow to practice, and I'll definitely be able to finish recording before noon."

Tan Shuo said: "Then you come here and help me, I will adjust the equipment and put it here first."

The two started together as they talked, quickly set up the microphone, connected all kinds of wires and power supply, Tan Shuo turned on the computer and recording software, and said to Qin Haiou when he was ready: "You can play whatever you want in the past, let me listen to it." Listen to the effect."

Qin Haiou then sat back in front of the piano and played a section according to the score.Tan Shuo recorded this passage, put on headphones and listened carefully, nodded and said: "Okay! It can be used! There is a little ambient sound, but it is within the range that can be processed in the later stage!"

Qin Haiou said: "It will be quieter in the morning."

Tan Shuo said: "That's it for today, let's go back first!"

Qin Haiou put away the score and closed the piano cover, Tan Shuo turned off the computer, the two greeted Liu Yang, and then left the coffee shop through the back door.

**

The next morning, Tan Shuo was woken up by the ringing of his mobile phone. He struggled in pain twice on the bed, closed his eyes, touched the mobile phone and pressed the call button, and heard Qin Haiou's voice from the mobile phone: "Tan Shuo? You Are you up yet? I'm done practicing, come and listen to me?"

Tan Shuo tried his best to open his eyelids, and glanced at the wall clock on the wall—it was only eight o'clock. He wailed in his heart, and said weakly, "You...you let me sleep a little longer." After speaking, he hung up the phone.

He rolled over and fell asleep again.He felt that he had only slept for less than 5 minutes, but the phone rang again soon, and he looked at the wall clock while answering it—this time it was 08:30, and the 5 minutes was just his illusion.Qin Haiou's voice didn't sound very urgent, he was even a little patient: "Are you awake? Have you eaten yet? When will you come and listen?"

Tan Shuo had no choice but to get up, went downstairs to have a quick bite and rushed to the coffee shop.When he arrived in the backyard, even Liu Yang hadn't come yet. Qin Haiou was playing alone in the piano room. Seeing him coming, he jumped up from the piano bench happily: "You're here!" Shuo opened his mouth, sat down again and said, "Listen!"

As soon as he finished his words, the sound of the piano rang. Tan Shuo lifted his spirits and listened carefully. It was indeed better than yesterday, and he nodded in praise: "Yes, this is very good! Let's start recording!"

After he finished speaking, he turned on the computer, prepared all kinds of equipment, and finally put on earphones for Qin Haiou.When playing, Qin Haiou can hear the fixed beat points from the earphones, as well as the number of measures recorded by Tan Shuo in advance.As long as they use the same beat point and number, players of different instruments can record the same work at different times and places, and then bring their recorded parts together to the sound engineer for synthesis.This is the convenience provided by the development of modern recording technology.

After putting on the earphones, Qin Haiou nodded to Tan Shuo. Tan Shuo tapped on the computer, and the recording started, as did the timing and reporting.Qin Haiou stared at the score attentively, waiting for the moment when the piano would appear on the stage.Tan Shuo turned over the sheet music for him, and there was a microphone beside him, and he didn't dare to speak loudly.

This time the recording went smoothly. Tan Shuo listened to the playback after the recording and found nothing that needed to be repaired, but Qin Haiou asked to record it again.Tan Shuo saved the first recording, then created a new track and recorded it again.

After the second pass, both of them were satisfied.Tan Shuo was in a good mood, and he patted Qin Haiou on the shoulder to praise him, and then started to pack his things and prepare to send an email to Li Zhenqiang.But Qin Haiou's mood was definitely beyond the description of "very good".He was able to play the piano in front of Tan Shuo, which had swept away the aggrieved and depressed heart that had been in his heart for months, and filled his chest with joy.Although this is only a small work of 6 minutes, and even the part allocated to the piano is less than 6 minutes, it is a brand new work. As one of the first performers of this new work, he enjoys independent thinking and the cooperation with Tan Shuo. process of discussion.In the end, his efforts were affirmed by the creator, which is another thing that would make any player feel happy and proud.Not only that, but he also helped Tan Shuo, which is what he has always wanted to do.

All of these make this moment Qin Haiou's happiest moment since he announced the termination of the performance.He was originally a cheerful person. At this moment, he put aside all his troubles and felt so happy that he was about to laugh. Without thinking about it, he put his hands on the keys and played again.

Tan Shuoben was packing his things when he heard Qin Haiou start playing the piano again, so he put down his pocket and got up to listen.Qin Haiou played the first "Waltz in D-flat Major" in Chopin's work No. 64. The fast triple time and the melody of repeated turns were created by Chopin to express a puppy who likes to chase its tail. It is a humorous work, so it is also commonly known as "Puppy Waltz".The speed of this song is already fast, and Qin Haiou's fingers are flying like flying at this time, the turning part is extremely smooth and smooth, and the liveliness of the puppy becomes more cheerful and interesting because of his mood.The music was played by him at a dizzying speed, and when the last chord fell, Tan Shuo took a full breath.

Of course Tan Shuo knew the allusion of the dog chasing its tail, raised his hands and applauded, and said with a smile: "Such a difficult movement, Doudou will definitely not be able to do it."

"Hahahaha..." Qin Haiou laughed loudly.
