Chapter 473 Relay Race
The more polite Liu Yufan was to Li Jian, the more Li Jian felt that the other party was laughing at him. Looking at the invitation gesture made by Liu Yufan to him, Li Jian was not grateful. Looking at Liu Yufan, he took off another microphone from the huge resonance box of the piano, looked at Liu Yufan and said, "Junior Brother Liu, how can you compare? You can tell me a solution, you have the final say!"
Li Jian said this, but he was somewhat showing off. He was suppressed by Liu Yufan's momentum just now, and now he finally got a chance to show his "generousness".
However, Liu Yufan was extremely "crawling" and pushed his words back with a smile.
"Senior brother, you'd better tell me, I'll listen to my senior brother." Liu Yufan looked at Li Jian and said with a smile.
Li Jian felt so hatred. Why is this guy, young, so cunning like a loach? He really won't be fooled.
Thousands of people in the audience were waiting to watch, and Li Jian was naturally embarrassed to continue playing the game "Kong Rong's Leaf" with Liu Yufan. Besides, the challenge was proposed by him, and he didn't want the rules to be formulated by Liu Yufan in the end, but for the sake of face, he had to give in a little humbleness. At this moment, seeing Liu Yufan so "generous" and put the initiative back to his hands, I couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
However, on his face, he still pretended to be fine and said, "Okay, Yufan, since you are participating in the Liszt Cup, then we will play Liszt. If you don't play anything else, there are twelve super skills, one song by one, rotate each other until anyone can't hold on. How about it?" Looking at Liu Yufan, Li Jian said steadily.
"Wow, I heard it right, two of them want to play Liszt's super skills? From the first shot, Li Jian is too arrogant now." Hearing Li Jian's words, a classmate in the audience couldn't help but say.
"That's right, there are twelve super skills in Liszt. Even if two people alternately bounce it, they still have to bounce six songs on average. This is simply impossible." Another classmate agreed.
Liszt's piano music is recognized as one of the most difficult piano music. When it comes to Liszt, one cannot help but mention his super skill etudes. Almost everyone who has played the piano and knows Liszt has to mention his twelve super skill etudes. Because these twelve super skill etudes really represent a real peak in piano etudes. Although it is just an etude, their artistic value is no less than those masterpieces.
Twelve songs, long or short. But on average, they also take four or six minutes. Calculated by the average time of five minutes, the time each of them needs to play is about half an hour. There are five opportunities to rest in this half hour. In theory, for a pianist, such intensity is not a big deal. But you should know that it refers to general performance. What you are talking about here is Liszt's super skill etude.
Some people may not understand that playing the piano will make you tired? That's because he only saw some simple songs, such as Clayderman's lyrical and beautiful piano music. He won't be tired even if he plays for a few hours. But if it's a song like Liszt's "Super Skills", the physical strength required is terrifying. Most people will be tired and exhausted at the original speed. Play six songs in a row, unless they are professional pianists, and those with super technical and physical strength. As for two students like Li Jian and Liu Yufan, it's really too forced.
It is precisely because of this that when Li Jian made this request, he attracted a burst of heated discussion in the audience.
"Haha, are you twelve super skill etudes? I haven't played it for a long time." Zhou Guangren, who was sitting in the center of the front row, smiled with interest when he heard this request from the student named Li Jian.
"Yes, these twelve songs, not to mention the difficulty, even the physical strength required, are all terrifying values." After hearing Zhou Guangren's words, Shi Shucheng, who was sitting next to her, nodded and said. Li Jian on the stage was his student. Although this student's performance just now was a bit too arrogant, Shi Shucheng still praised him in his heart without saying it. After all, as a musician, having a personality is a good thing.
"Haha, Lao Shi, which song can you play in one breath now?" Seeing that the two young people on the stage had a dispute over meaning, Zhou Guangren couldn't help but miss the time he was young and asked Shi Shucheng with a fun look on his face.
Her question was not asked casually. They were all students of the Central Conservatory of Music, but now they have become big names in the domestic piano industry. When they were young, they also had a sloppy years. What Zhou Guangren said was a "game" they often played when they were young.
When they were young, they were young and energetic when they first started working, and they often played "competitions" like these two young people. At that time, the "game" they liked to play the most was similar to the bets made by the two young people. Playing "super skills" or "super threes" depends on who has been persisting for a long time. When Zhou Guangren was in full swing, he set a record of playing twelve "super skills" one person played in an hour. But that was only occasionally. After that experience, she finished playing twelve songs, sat in front of the piano, and sang them all.
It was as if it was fished out of the water, all soaked. And after that time, because of severe physical overdrawing, she had not dared to touch the piano for three days. No, because of anything else, her fingers touched the keys and felt heartbroken! It can be seen how much exercise required for "super skills". The two generals, Shi Shucheng and Ling Yuan, naturally played such "games", but the highest record for the two of them was that one person played ten songs in a row and the other played eight songs in a row. Although he did not persist in the twelve songs like Zhou Guangren, it was also a very terrifying result!
Now, looking at these two children, they were about to repeat their previous "game", and the faces of these people showed nostalgia.
Hearing Zhou Guangren's words, Shi Shucheng quickly smiled and waved his hand and said, "Which song should I play it? It's good that I can play one song in a row now. I'm old and I won't win."
After hearing what Shi Shucheng had half-joking, Zhou Guangren and Ling Yuan laughed, but there was a bit of bitterness in their smiles. Yes, in this blink of an eye, several people were old. Now they saw the twelve songs with super skills, and they still liked them from the bottom of their hearts. Because the song was really well written, it was definitely one of the best in the piano art treasure house, but now they are powerless and have begun to decline, and they can no longer let them persist in completing these songs that require super physical strength. Perhaps playing the first few simple songs, such as "Prelude" and can barely play them in full, but if they play "Ghost Fire" or "Hunting", it would be impossible to complete.
"Haha, yes, I can't move anymore. By the way, who can hold on to the end of these two little guys?" Zhou Guangren asked Shi Shucheng with a smile, but his eyes also glanced at Ling Yuan.
This scene is very interesting. Li Jian is certainly a student of Shi Shucheng, while Liu Yufan is also a student of Ling Yuan. This seemingly random challenge has now met two teachers. This is somewhat like the duel between two great masters Hong Qigong and Ouyang Feng in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Both of them are old and cannot take action personally, so they teach the moves to the young man and make him a continuation of himself. At this moment, isn't Liu Yufan and Li Jian the continuation of them?
"Haha, I can't say this. But I heard Li Jian's classmates say that he had finished playing five songs in one breath, until "Ghost Fire", and there was no rest." Shi Shucheng said casually.
"Play five songs in a row?" Zhou Guangren asked with surprise. You know, playing five songs in a row is extremely difficult, even the first five songs are very important. After all, they are just students who have not left the school gate.
"Teacher Ling Yuan, where is Liu Yufan?" Zhou Guangren turned around and asked Ling Yuan again with a smile.
"Haha, I don't know this. This child hasn't returned to school much during this period and is busy with his company every day, but his piano skills have not fallen apart. I personally took the exam for him in the final exam and he was all excellent." Ling Yuan was a little proud of his tone when he said this. After all, Liu Yufan is a "straight figure" in the affiliated high school, and this person is her student. Although Ling Yuan does not like to compete very much, in this situation, she is also holding her energy and hopes that her students can give her a sigh!
The two teachers were both humble and kind, but from each other's eyes and those casual little movements, a smell of gunpowder could be seen. Zhou Guangren saw it and felt secretly amused in his heart.
But on the stage, when Liu Yufan heard Li Jian's proposal, he did not show much surprise. He was in the affiliated high school, so he naturally heard about this game. It was actually fair to use this method to decide the winner. After all, these twelve songs are similar in difficulty. Moreover, in private, many students have "played" like this.
Liu Yufan didn't know how many songs he could play in one breath now. In his impression, it seemed that only Russia's Berezovsky could perform these twelve songs in one go, and which song could he hold on to? Thinking of this, Liu Yufan couldn't help but feel more anticipated and fighting spirit in his eyes!
"Please, senior brother!" Liu Yufan looked at Li Jian lightly and made a "please" gesture! (To be continued)!~!
