Gently lie on the keys with your hands, and your eyes are slightly closed. Copy this address to browse %77%77%77%2e%62%69%71%69%2e%6d%65

The next moment, my arms sank slightly, as if a gentle wave was swept by, and a quiet arpeggio sounded as water.

The first movement of Beethoven's Sonata in C minor!

The slowly rising and falling short arpeggio creates an extremely quiet atmosphere. Flowing music can bring people a deeper quietness. This kind of thing that looks obviously incongruent happens most naturally at this moment.

After just enjoying a Bach polyphony, everyone who was refreshed was now brought to a deeper calm by the silence of the sonata.

Some of them half-closed their eyes and devoted themselves to the atmosphere of music, while others looked at Chu Yang's hands intently, admiring it as they rolled over the keys.

At this moment, no one will think of the "exam" anymore. The only thing left is pure appreciation of music.

Before this, they might not have thought that in such a school-level, admission exam situation, they could actually hear such "Moonlight"!

Yes, they have listened to this song thousands of times, and they are even annoyed and have heard enough. But there is no way. This song is too famous. Too many students who are preparing to enter the school will spend a lot of effort to prepare a "famous song". As the representative of "famous song", "Moonlight" is undoubtedly famous and famous enough, and it is no wonder that it has become the first choice for everyone.

But the problem is that listening to students' performances from their perspective is a lot of problems. No matter how beautiful the song is, it is useless to play it poorly. They all listen to it with the feeling of finding faults.

But now?

Such a song "Moonlight" made them unable to find any faults, or they no longer had the energy to find faults, and they were all focused on appreciating them.

This song "Moonlight". From the moment its first note sounded, it once again told the seven pianos that the authoritative facts of this song "Moonlight" is perfect and impeccable!

Even the shortest musical instrument - the old Star Sea 118. It was like a new piano, and what it made was not that ugly and harsh sound, but a beautiful and gorgeous sound like the top Dastanway.

If they were more rational and objective, they would focus their attention on the changes in the piano sound. They might find this. But unfortunately, their attention was attracted by Chu Yang's performance at the first time. This was the case from the first song.

"Hey, who is playing the moonlight?" In the corridor of Yin's teaching building, Karen, a foreign teacher who was preparing to attend class, suddenly heard a gentle piano sound like water. The piano sound came from the side of the classroom beside him.

The Central Conservatory of Music also has foreign teachers, usually senior music talents poached from countries such as the United States and Russia. Karen is one of them.

Karen graduated from the Curtis Conservatory of Music in the United States. This popular music school has trained many great musicians, including Lang Lang from China. After studying at the Central Conservatory of Music, they all came here to further their studies.

Karen used to be the chief piano of the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra of the United States. Because he admired Huaxia, he came to the Central Conservatory of Music and has been working here for more than three years. During these three years, on the one hand, he was obsessed with Huaxia, especially Chinese folk music. He absorbed a lot of nutrients, and on the other hand, he also had a deeper understanding of the art education system of China.

Different music teachers in China. Karen has his own perspective on piano education in China. In his opinion, this emerging and rapidly developing country is on a wrong path simply from the perspective of piano education.

Indeed, this country has a huge number of piano-learning people that cannot be compared to the whole world, with a total of eight million piano children. To be honest, Karen was startled by this number at the beginning! You should know that such a large number of people studying piano in the United States can almost match the total population of a larger continent.

But when he further learned about the current situation of piano education in China, Karen discovered that most of the so-called eight million piano children were not considered real piano learners at all!

They are in an extremely bad environment with bad musical instruments, bad piano teachers, bad grading system, well, Karen has never seen any country before, and piano education is so uneven and muddy!

In the United States, teachers who are truly engaged in professional piano education are very excellent piano talents. They are pianists themselves, have obtained authoritative music institutions certification, and participate in large-scale performance practices. In China, most piano teachers, especially piano teachers in small cities, are simply terrible. They have not experienced formal, strict, and standardized piano education. Although in Karen's eyes, these so-called formal, strict, and standardized piano education are also full of problems, full of dogmatic and rigid problems, the basic things are still correct after all. However, those poor teachers are even wrong in their basic key touching methods, and they cannot even play a slightly more difficult sonata. Some of them only have the level of Cherny's 599th period to teach those beginners. After Karen saw this situation, his first reaction was that this was too crazy!

To apply an old saying from this ancient country, this is completely a misleading child!

Here, Karen, the top Chinese piano education organization, also saw many problems that he was not used to. For example, they were accustomed to playing large and difficult repertoire, confining themselves to a small frame, and were unwilling to study the works of unknown pianists. They never even played those popular piano works, let alone playing some improvised jazz and blues, as well as their country's popular songs and folk music, which are very good things to Karen, but they never played them. What they talk about every day is always Liszt, Xiao Lian, Beethoven, Rubenstein... Of course, there are endless exams, grading, and competitions.

Oh my God, is the piano here for them a tool for competitions or showing off their skills? You should know that the piano is used to play wonderful music, not to show skills.

Fortunately, Karen still has a high degree of freedom and respect here. People here admire foreign teachers very much, and he can get respect and courtesy that he cannot get in the United States. Every time he gives an open class, many students will come to listen, and many will take the initiative to take photos with him. Karen likes this feeling very much, which is why he chooses to stay here.

The United States is not a paradise, and the US economy has been in decline over the years. This recession has also affected the art world. Before Karen's original Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra, before he left there and went to China, there had been no decent large-scale performance for several months, and he did not make much money, and he was not even able to support his life. He had no choice but to come to China. And he found that people here were gradually increasing their interest in serious music, and they were willing to spend a lot of money to go to the concert hall to listen to a concert. His piano solo was held several times in Yanjing, and they were also very popular, which made him feel good.

But he told his Chinese colleagues in public and semi-public occasions that China's piano education system is too backward and too rigid. Under such a system, only a group of piano-playing machines can be taught, and the masters cannot be taught. Unfortunately, although they agree with their words on the surface, they still repeat the previous things when they turn around. This makes him feel very helpless.

In his opinion, the musical talent of students who can enter here are really excellent. Their skills are great, and their efforts are unmatched by American students. However, they devote a lot of time and energy to boring practice and competitions, as if their only motivation for practicing piano is to participate in competitions, win awards, and prove that others are good and others are great!

But can you still play the music itself with this mentality?

Every day when walking in this music building, Karen heard various piano sounds of rapid, crazy, and stunning piano sounds. To him, this kind of music was almost the same as noise, soulless, and purely a pile of skills. He felt sorry and sad. He called out loudly in his class, but unfortunately, no one listened to him.

But today, it seems a little different.

When Karen walked through this ordinary classroom, he was attracted by a soft and water-like sound of piano coming from inside. The piano sound was so natural and so quiet that he instantly held his footsteps firmly.

This is Beethoven's moonlight, and he has heard it countless times. This song is also his favorite song and he likes to play.

He also heard many students playing this song "Moonlight", but every time he heard them play, he would run away, and he seemed to have some dirty thing in his ears, trying to wash it out desperately. Every time he would take out the Kempff's CD, put it in the CD machine, wear Akg's top monitor headphones, and listen to it several times in one breath. It seemed that if he didn't do this, he could not drive away that bad mood.

But today, this moonlight...

Oh my God, that quiet, that calm, that deep...

Listening to the sound of the piano, Karen's heart also became intoxicated. He seemed to feel that he was on the beach on a quiet night, and the black sea water connected into a vast expanse of depression and tranquility. A white, gauze-like light and moon gently projected on the sea surface, instantly illuminating his heart.

"What a beautiful sound, whose version is this? Guilleres, Licht Kempff, no, this is played live!" After keenly capturing a pedal sound, Karen suddenly woke up and said!

"Can live performance actually pop up such an effect? ​​Who is he?" At this moment, the huge shock made Karen almost lose his composure.

At this moment, he wanted to push the door open and go in immediately and see who the master who shot the "moonlight" so calmly and deeply!

It was definitely not Zhou, nor Ling. Although their performance skills were impeccable, they were both standard academics, but they could not play such a free Beethoven!

Could it be Wu? It seems even more impossible.

Could it be that a master invited by the college is preparing to perform here?

For a moment, countless thoughts rose from his mind, but were denied one by one.

But all this was just a matter of a very short time, Ma, he was completely immersed in this music.

The first movement of a brief and quiet ended. After a moment of silence, the cheerful and jumping sounded a bright second movement.

This movement is very short and has a bright mood, as if recalling the sweet time of the past. Some music critics say that this movement, which is only more than two minutes long, is like a "little flower sandwiched between two cliffs."

It seems that beauty is destined to be short, and in more than two minutes, the short second movement ends.

A moment of silence.

However, whether it was the seven examiners sitting in the house listening to the performance, or Karen, who was standing outside the classroom and enjoying music, they all held their breath at this moment!

Because, they all know deeply what will happen next!

In an instant, a low thunderous sound rolled through the bass area and slid to the bright high-pitched area in a blink of an eye!

This arpeggio, which was as fast as the wind and lightning, instantly ruthlessly tear open the harmonious beauty that had just been brief and quiet!

"Clean!" The chord of resolute sounded, like a sledgehammer falling to the ground, and like a ruthless iron hand, instantly smashing all fantasies and tranquility!

Then, almost no time to think or breathe, a more rapid and uneasy sound stream rolled past the bass zone again, with a stronger emotion, and instantly pushed to the peak!

The left hand quickly passed through the keys like an enclave, touching the keys in a fine and accurate manner, without any unnecessary movements, full of force and beauty! The right hand rebounded from the keys with force, looked so thorough, neat, and violent, as if it was about to smash everything!

Karen was completely stunned. The sound of piano sounds, like electric currents, passed through his heart again and again, making his soul tremble.

"Oh my God, such music, such music is the real music, this is the real Beethoven, this is the real moonlight!" Listening to the cold piano sound, Karen shed tears excitedly. At this moment, he seemed to follow the piano sound, touching the inner world of Beethoven, a generation of music master, and blending with his soul! xh118
