Second Piano Concerto

Tan Shuo's third movement has just been written for a little while, and before he knows it, it's the Spring Festival.He didn't want to stop his creation, so he stayed in Longjin for the new year.But Qin Haiou went home.When he came to Longjin in an extremely worrying state, he has lived in the town for nearly a year now. Not only his parents are worried about him, but his teacher Wang Yifu has been waiting for him after learning that his condition has improved. News of his comeback concert.However, Qin Haiou did not tell Wang Yifu about his plan to play Tan Shuo's work. This is because the work has not been completed. If Wang Yifu wants to see this work, he cannot provide the score. On the other hand, it is also the most important reason. It is because of the consideration of the connection between Wang Yifu and Xiao Cong.Qin Haiou didn't want to tell the truth in front of the teacher and let the teacher suffer a blow, and he didn't want Xiao Cong to have the opportunity to learn about Tan Shuo's recent situation through the teacher.Apart from his own state and recovery progress, Qin Haiou thinks it is too early to say anything to Wang Yifu.He hopes that Tan Shuo can complete his creation in a peaceful environment without being disturbed by the outside world.

The teacher and the student had a long and in-depth talk on Qin Haiou's psychological problems.Qin Haiou carefully bypassed the part about Tan Shuo, and told Wang Yifu about his changes and thoughts in the past year.After hearing this, Wang Yifu remained silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "I am not a competent teacher."

Seeing the teacher blame himself, Qin Haiou felt uncomfortable.Even in the most painful and desperate moments, he never complained, because he always believed that his problems were caused by himself.Although he couldn't find the answer, it must be because he did something wrong, or his mentality was out of balance in some aspects, and that happened.He never thought of complaining about his teacher.

But Wang Yifu's mood is quite different.He watched Qin Haiou grow up. It was he who single-handedly raised Qin Haiou, sent him to the stage of international competitions, and watched him win the crown with his own eyes.In the ten years since Qin Haiou studied abroad, he has never disappointed Wang Yifu. During winter and summer vacations or between performances, he will also take time to visit his teachers.Although he later learned to play under the tutelage of many international pianists, he was always the first to mention Wang Yifu's name when talking about his mentor in public.Wang Yifu felt gratified and proud that he had such an excellent student, but he never expected that when Qin Haiou was troubled and tortured by psychological problems and needed the teacher's guidance and reassurance the most, he would be the same as others. At a loss, I can't find the crux of the matter, and I don't know how to let my students get rid of the pain.At that time, Wang Yifu had already fallen into deep self-blame, but now listening to Qin Haiou's analysis of the root of the problem, his self-blame is even worse.The problem Qin Haiou encountered is not the first time in history. If it is discovered in time and properly guided, it will never develop to such a serious level later.Wang Yifu blamed himself for negligence, which caused Qin Haiou to fall into such a big stumble on the road of professional performance. Fortunately, he has now found a solution to the problem. It may become the most painful thing in Wang Yifu's life.

"You can realize these truths by yourself, which proves that you have indeed grown up." Qin Haiou came to visit Wang Yifu this time, no matter from the expression and tone of his speech, or from his understanding of the problem and his own analysis, he could feel it. His growth, which made Wang Yifu feel very gratified besides rejoicing, "The teacher has nothing to teach you, but the road of music is endless. I hope you can remember today's reflection in the future and stick to it." Believe in yourself and be a unique artist."

Qin Haiou opened his mouth, he wanted to say that he didn't realize all of this by himself, there was actually another person, but he held back and just nodded silently.

Afterwards, Wang Yifu asked about his plans for the comeback concert, and Qin Haiou told the teacher his thoughts on the solo repertoire, and played him a few pieces he had practiced recently.Wang Yifu hadn't heard Qin Haiou's live performance for a long time, and when he heard it now, he knew that what he just said was true.

After a year, Qin Haiou's understanding of music and comprehension of music has reached an unprecedented height and depth.He is becoming more and more mature in music, showing more and deeper connotations in music performance, and conveying both smart and profound emotions in music, which surprised Wang Yifu.Wang Yifu deliberately picked out some details and asked him why he played like this. Qin Haiou explained his thoughts one by one, and the two chatted more and more unconsciously.In the past, Wang Yifu always gave more advice during this process, but now it has become an exchange and discussion between two mature performers, from which Wang Yifu can also benefit.Wang Yifu saw with his own eyes that his most proud but most worrying lover had made such progress in just one year. He was both happy and emotional, and finally let go of his hanging heart.

Since Qin Haiou is still recovering and the date of the concert has not yet been determined, the two did not discuss the detailed repertoire of the concert. However, Wang Yifu still made some suggestions for the choice of the concerto in the second half, and told Qin Haiou to be certain. Think carefully.

Qin Haiou had expected that Wang Yifu would have this concern in advance, but at present he can only tell Wang Yifu so much, and he also asked Wang Yifu not to disclose his recovery to other people, including senior brother Xiao Cong. .

Wang Yifu naturally understood the importance of it. He was only a little surprised by Qin Haiou's defense against Xiao Cong, and he didn't ask any questions.Although Wang Yifu doesn't want his students to have rifts due to career competition, this is indeed a common phenomenon in the industry. No matter how innocent Qin Haiou is, as he grows older, he will sooner or later realize that the problems surrounding the He has only begun to develop a little defensiveness about the various interpersonal relationships and interest relationships around him, and he is already a late bloomer.As for Xiao Cong's attitude towards Qin Haiou, Wang Yifu is more or less aware of it. He once made Qin Haiou give in to Xiao Cong on the issue of "Song of the Long Night", but he also asked Xiao Cong about Qin Haiou's situation many times. Time to cover up the inside story.The strength gap between Qin Haiou and Xiao Cong is an irreconcilable contradiction in Xiao Cong's eyes.It's not that Wang Yifu didn't see this, but he couldn't change it. Therefore, he has been using his own way to protect the respective interests of the two students to the greatest extent.

Qin Haiou guessed that Wang Yifu might have some misunderstandings because of this, but it didn't matter.After spending the New Year at home, he visited his teacher again, and then returned to Longjin Town soon. While continuing to practice the first two movements, he was thinking about how to create the cadenza part of the first movement according to Tan Shuo's prompts.

Tan Shuo is also very concerned about Huacai's progress, and often asks about it when he comes to Xiaopengmen to discuss with Qin Haiou.At first, he just asked casually, "How is Huacai doing?" At that time, Qin Haiou's thoughts were still very immature, so he was embarrassed to play it to him, so he said that he hadn't figured it out yet, and asked him to wait.But since Qin Haiou returned to Longjin after the festival, Tan Shuo asked more diligently: "Have you thought about it, and when can I listen to it?" In fact, Qin Haiou had already thought up several versions at this time, but He was not satisfied with any of them, so he said again: "Let me think about it again, and I will tell you when I think about it!" After that, Tan Shuo really asked less, but whenever Qin Haiou saw his expectant but eager With eyes that stopped talking, I felt a lot of pressure.
