At nine o'clock in the morning on October 7th, Yang Jingxing delivered a speech at the closing ceremony of the 7th Puyin International Piano Master Class at the He Luting Concert Hall. In addition to thanks and congratulations, another focus of Director Yang was friendship. He felt that music relies on friendship.

Between musicians and audiences, between musicians, between classmates, between teachers and students...

Director Yang said: "...Puhai Conservatory of Music will definitely remember and cherish this friendship. I hope this friendship will last forever. I will spare everyone a few minutes." He walked towards the piano.

Seeing Yang Jingxing sit down in front of the piano, the masters, experts, professors, and parents of students and children on and off the stage all understood, and they all looked surprised and even started to applaud.

Yang Jingxing didn't plan anything and just started. The notes sounded and everyone immediately heard the melody of "Auld Lang Syne". It was a bit cliché, but the more than 200 people in the concert hall continued to give face and most of them were casual.

Relaxed smile.

However, the simple theme of the original song was only presented once on stage, and then another variation of the routine began. Most people in the concert hall were able to accurately receive the information immediately and made more surprises and performances.

show a stronger interest.

The stage starts with routine variations, which are not complicated. As long as you pay attention and listen carefully, I believe most piano kids will be able to remember and understand them. The learning atmosphere in the master class is also quite strong, and the piano kids all seem to be very fast.

Entered the listening state.

Although the starting point was low, it progressed very quickly on stage. By the fourth variation, the composition technique was already troubling the piano boy, the notes were denser, the melody sounded a bit like a storm is about to come, and the chords began to become more complicated.

The masters, experts and professors are still relaxed and relaxed. It is Yang Jingxing's performance that should be appreciated with a smile or a nod of approval. The piano children should concentrate more, and parents with good awareness will remind their children.

When a fast sound group appeared in the sixth variation, it immediately killed most of the few relaxed smiles left in the concert hall, because no more than ten people present could play this fast sound group perfectly.

.

Next, Yang Jingxing seemed to defeat each one one by one, using precise octave jumps followed by reverse big jumps to kill one easily, and then used alternating octaves to gain another victory, followed by impeccable octave vibrato to continue to exert pressure.

…

Yang Jingxing has not shown off his skills in public for a long time. Not many people present today have seen him show off his skills in person. The effect is still very obvious. In only two or three minutes, the atmosphere in the concert hall was completely the same as when it first started.

It was different. At least the piano children and their parents were shocked, and there were many faces of shock or excitement.

Director Yang, who longs for friendship, is very candid. He uses extremely fast serial chords, ultra-fast sound groups with seemingly no end in sight, and seamless double-note polyphony. These skills are rarely seen in ordinary times.

Although most of the people here today have experienced several versions of "Fantasia of Bells", "Will-o'-the-Wisp", "Islame" and other tunes, and have experienced and learned from almost all masters, geniuses and prodigies, many adults and children have not

He acted ignorant, as if he didn't understand music or piano.

However, among the stunned people, there were still a few people who were calmly appreciating it, such as Solin, Li Yingzhen, and Professor Zhan. They were experts among experts. Of course, they could tell that even if they showed off their skills to such a crazy level, the music itself was still melodious.

, and never gave up the musicality and interest.

Finally, the song reached its climax, and the long phrases made the melody more and more gorgeous and surging. When it was about to reach the top, a completely unexpected tremolo sounded. This tremolo followed the rapidity of the melody.

It climbed up and became stronger and more exciting. The piano on the stage seemed to have infinite power and was released ruthlessly, almost shaking the entire concert hall.

This should be the most brilliant and surging passage in all piano works so far. If you just look at the music score, experts will think that it is a difficult passage for four hands to play together. Yang Tiancai seems to be unable to continue, and only insists on a small score before starting.

Slowly fall back.

The audience also breathed a sigh of relief. Junior high school student Shang Haokun began to relax his tense upper body. Senior high school student Terui Nanaka held up her chin to cover her lips. She stood up to see the little piano boy who was less than ten years old on the stage.

Finally willing to sit down, the undergraduate juniors and juniors also began to express their facial expressions...

Experts are different from ordinary people. After Yang Jingxing began to slow down, several old guys who had calmly passed the climax began to behave strangely. Professor Zhan, who had already had inside information, puffed up his chest and began to tense up, while Solin placed it on the table.

She clenched her fists with both hands tightly, and Li Yingzhen also adjusted her sitting posture and nodded slightly. The only person in the audience who was not shocked by Director Yang was Zhang Chujia, a staff member beside the stage. She was the first to get the music score, and now

The way he looked at Qi Pa was obviously a bit disdainful of Qi Pa.

In fact, it is a piece of music that has been pieced together. Although it cannot be said to be rough, at least it can be evaluated as having little academic value in He Peiyuan's words. The music uses a ready-made theme to continuously change it, and various superb performance skills are put into it in the process. Only

However, Yang Jingxing's stacking and integration is better, and the music never loses its musicality. It is quite pleasant to listen to from beginning to end, especially after the climax and slowing down to the end, the lyricism becomes more and more obvious and concrete.

The audience's nerves gradually relaxed as the music progressed. They went from appreciating to being frightened before, and now from frightened to appreciating and even intoxicated.

The piece is only less than six minutes long, and in the end it returns to the same state as it was at the beginning. Such an old-fashioned and tacky technique is not what an undergraduate student of composition department should do.

But when Yang Jingxing stood up after playing the last note, the concert hall burst into applause. The two hundred or so people were as powerful as the six or seven hundred people who filled the house. The students in the master class were especially polite, and they applauded and stood up one by one.

Director Yang remembered that this was not a concert, and he did not stand still to show off his temperament, nor did he greet the audience. As he walked forward, he motioned to his colleagues on the rostrum that you were welcome, and then loudly said: "Thank you, please

Sit...please sit down!"

The applause had just started, and the audience who had gathered momentum obviously did not want to fail before the start, so they ignored Director Yang's words.

Director Yang also ignored the audience and said to himself: "I call this piece "Friendship Variations"... This piece is dedicated to Puyin, to the piano department, and to all the teachers and classmates in our master class..."

The audience gave in and began to stop applauding one after another.

Yang Jingxing said: "I hope that at this time next year, our master class students can dedicate this piece to everyone. I also hope that no matter where you are in the future, when you hear or play this piece, you will think of Pu

This friendship with Yin..."

Just like when Director Yang told a ridiculous joke, there was no applause, and more people laughed dryly or were silent, or even shook their heads.

Director Yang continued: "It sounds like this is an almost impossible piece of music to complete. Just like most people will not become famous pianists, but the challenging path of learning piano is full of possibilities. Likewise, this

A piece of music also has different possibilities, and I hope every student can find his or her own possibilities in the challenge. Okay, next we will invite Director Lu to speak, everyone is welcome."

It is possible that the energy that had not been used just now was still being accumulated and needed to be released. Yang Jingxing welcomed him, and the concert hall reached a climax of applause almost instantly. Lu Kaiping was so flattered that he was a little embarrassed to walk on the stage.

Showing off skills is still effective. When the certificates were issued, the students who were not Yang Jingxing's certificates also wanted to take photos with him. The teacher in charge of taking pictures also wanted to pursue it, and whispered: "Director Yang, can you put your hands on the students' shoulders? It looks friendly.

…”

After the ceremony, it was time to talk and cherish each other, but the experts entered the seminar state again. It seemed that they wanted to draw conclusions immediately, and they had to be rigorous and based on the musicality. The technique of "Friendship Variations"

Is the difficulty unprecedented? Have any of the performers in the past been able to complete it properly or how they have dealt with the seemingly impossible.

Yang Jingxing actually shamelessly participated in the evaluation. He believed that when he was young, Rubinstein's handling of chords would be more exciting than his own, and his peers did not agree to discuss it.

The score of "Friendship Variations", which has little academic value, was originally given as a surprise gift to the young students in the name of the piano department, but the distinguished guest masters also got a copy, so they started studying it.

A group of people finally came out of the concert hall and found that many students outside had been waiting for more than an hour, including those who had not had the opportunity to receive the master's personal guidance, but also wanted to seize this last opportunity. They were all positive and pious, which could be considered as a sign of enthusiasm.

Master's breath.

The compatriots really gave Yang Jingxing face and made Yang Jingxing's popularity no less than that of Solin and the others. A piano boy took An Xin's album and asked for Yang Jingxing's autograph, saying that he regarded An Xin as his idol and would make a special trip to Pingjing to listen to An Xin next week.

's concert.

Shang Haokun, who has already considered transferring to Puyin Affiliated High School, is not in a hurry to get the priority. His parents are even more relaxed and even feel a sense of superiority. Indeed, some parents and piano students understand Shang Haokun's strength and talent.

Yang Jingxing refused to give face: "Do you still want to surpass me?"

Shang Haokun is indeed a man: "Everything is possible!"

The group of people all laughed, and Nanaka Terui seemed to understand. She giggled so much that she had to cover her mouth and looked at Shang Haokun. A junior high school boy, Shang Haokun suddenly couldn't hide his shyness after being looked at and smiled by a good-looking high school elder sister.

, but after being laughed at, he can stiffen his neck and frown coldly.

Yang Jingxing solemnly said goodbye to Miki Nakai, and nodded and promised to take care of Nanaka Terui. As courtesy, Yu Xinting also received Miki Nakai's care when she went to Tokyo.

True to his word, Yang Jingxing is now concerned about Nanexiang's food, clothing, housing and transportation issues. Nanexiang is also a rich group, living in a hotel apartment, with a high-end piano room, and someone will come from Japan to accompany her. She does not need to have cultural classes.

For professional courses such as exams and music theory, Puyin’s teachers will teach you.

Yang Jingxing encouraged Nanexiang: "Come on, be his senior sister."

"Teacher is saying..." Nanexiang was unsure and spoke very poorly in Mandarin: "Can I do it too?" After saying that, she jumped for joy and looked at Yang Jingxing with a bright smile and worry.

Yang Jingxing nodded: "If you are admitted to Puyin, Professor Li and I will be very strict with you."

After hurriedly but seriously confirming Yang Jingxing's meaning, the Japanese high school girl was frightened. Nanexiang was not happy, but solemnly and even a little heavily thanked and bowed in her native language and Mandarin.
Chapter completed!
