world number one pianist

Chapter 126 Getting started, promotion to specialization

Soon, the first small class was completed, and after He Shen gave everyone homework to practice on National Day, he asked them to leave directly.

With the completion of the first course and the National Day getting closer, most things in the school also ushered in a short-term stagnation.

Like the usual National Day, most of the teachers plan to go home to spend the National Day with their families.

A small number of teachers went to find their targets and planned to go out to play.

Even though there will definitely be crowds outside, there is no decent scenery to see at all.

Even though the two of them don't really want to go out to play, but in order to accompany the object, they can only endure it and go out together.

Otherwise, what are you doing?Two people playing together in the room for seven days?
Not to mention whether it will be boring, whether the male teacher can persist for seven days is still a question...

As for the last remaining teachers, that is, the group of He Shen, they either chose to go back to their hometown for a walk, or they stayed in school and continued to practice piano.

He Shen didn't have any doubts, he chose to stay in school and continue practicing piano.

Because of some special things, he didn't want to go back to his hometown.

After all, if he really wanted to go back to his hometown, he wouldn't be alone in Ningcheng, Jiangzhou, living in the basement, not getting enough to eat every day, making himself hypoglycemic, malnourished, and almost dying.

And the reason why he is willing to practice piano in school is very simple.

The school’s piano room has central air-conditioning, which is warm in winter and cool in summer. There are also humidifiers and dehumidifiers to keep the humidity in the entire room constant without causing great damage to the piano or other musical instruments.

In addition, Ningcheng, Jiangzhou, is in the state of the sun most of the time, and people who are illuminated by the afternoon sun are very comfortable.

With such a comfortable environment, He Shen didn't have any thoughts of leaving this place and returning to his hometown.

There is no desire to go back to his own basement.

What are you doing back in the basement?Are you staring at the window where there is only a little sunshine in the morning?

Or practice the piano in a small space?
Although it is said that the piano at home is slightly better than the upright piano at school, but how should I put it...

Practicing piano at school is much more comfortable than at home!

The basement is cold and damp, and the heat is all due to its own righteousness and the stuffy heat brought by the unventilated room.

There is a central air conditioner in the school, which ensures a constant temperature. Isn't this uncomfortable?
Therefore, on the first day of the National Day, when He Shen came to the school as usual, he just felt that the school was inexplicably empty. The piano room was empty, and there was no one in it.

Pushing open the door of the piano department's office, it was even more deserted inside than usual. Many people didn't even have any office materials on their desks, and they were all locked in cabinets.

But... He Shen didn't expect that there would be anyone in the office of the piano department. Today is the first day of the holiday, and he can still work in this place.

So he just went to his desk, opened the drawer, picked out a few lollipops that were more suitable to his heart, put them in his pocket, and walked towards the piano room unsteadily.

The road was still deserted, except that I ran into a counselor when I went downstairs.

When the counselor saw He Shen coming down the stairs, he couldn't help showing surprise in his eyes. It was obvious that he had no idea that He Shen was still in school today.

But soon, a smile appeared on his face, he took out the briefcase behind him, took out a registration form, and asked He Shen with a smile.

"Mr. He, aren't you going back this year?"

"Not going back." He Shen shook his head.

"That's it, that's great. On the [-]th and [-]th, we will organize a sports meeting for teachers and staff. Let's have fun together. Do you want to participate? This is the registration form."

The counselor put the registration form in He Shen's hand into He Shen's hand, and regardless of whether He Shen refused or not, he immediately opened his mouth, blocked He Shen's words, and said.

"Mr. He, don't refuse. This sports meeting is for all the teachers to get together for a little fun. Everyone plays badminton, tug-of-war and so on. There will be no particularly difficult games that require a lot of physical strength. , There are no track and field events like running races."

"Of course, if you want to have more than enough track and field teachers, you can still do it. You just need to fill in the competition events you want at the end of the registration form, which is the other column. If the number of people reaches enough, it can be held standard, then it can be done.”

He Shen shook his head, handed back the registration form in his hand, pointed to his head, and waved his hand to refuse.

"No, hypoglycemia, lack of physical fitness, I'm sorry, I'm really not good..."

"Huh? Is that so..."

The counselor was taken aback when he heard it, and then obviously showed a trace of regret. He reluctantly took the registration form from He Shen's hand, rolled it up a little, and stuffed the registration form back into the bag behind him. Bao Li said with a little regret.

"Then there is no other way. We don't have any card games here. The main purpose of the teachers' sports meeting is to give us left-behind teachers a chance to relax. I didn't expect Mr. He, your health is so bad. It's a pity."

"It's okay, I have a piano, I can practice it."

"Hiss... During the holidays, you still have to practice the piano non-stop? Teacher He, you are really, tsk tsk, you are too hard, I can't..."

The counselor shook his head helplessly, pointed to He Shen downstairs, and waved his hand.

"Since Mr. He, you don't want to come, then I will leave first. If you feel bored, you can come to find us in the music department office below. We have many counselors here. You can play together and exchange feelings. That's it, let's go."

After finishing speaking, the counselor walked directly down the stairs, and soon disappeared from He Shen's sight.

He Shen didn't have any idea about the counselor's invitation, after all, he was really a layman in sports.

It is the kind of 1000 meters that can run for seven to eight minutes, and 8 meters can run for more than 50 seconds.

If counted as grades, his grades are basically impossible to pass, and he is even a little short of the passing line.

But...his pull-ups are still good. When he was in school, because playing the piano required arm strength, he specially trained his arms to make his upper body strong.

It's a pity that even if his pull-ups are not bad compared to other sports, he is still a long way from the passing line.

Now that he has graduated from university and has become a teacher, he no longer needs to take a physical test, so he naturally stays as far away from sports as he can, and is determined not to take a step closer.

Of course, except for training the muscles of the upper body, He Shen plans to go to the gym or somewhere else after his body is a little healthier, and then exercise his upper body so that his body can produce a more brilliant tone.

It is impossible to play that feeling with a body that is too weak.

And more powerful power also means that a deeper musical level can be made.

After all, playing the piano is still percussion music, which is a laborious job.

During ordinary piano practice and recording, you can still put it away a little bit. When it comes to the competition, the physical exertion is not comparable to practicing piano and recording.

He Shen shook his head, walked towards his piano room, walked into the piano room, and found the piano score that he had printed in the library before, and sat on the sofa, basking in the sun, looking at the music from the coffee table next to him. On the table, he took out a pen and carefully analyzed it on the piano score.

In the past few days, apart from giving lessons to others, he spent most of his time analyzing music scores.

When he was in college, he actually didn’t have many chances to analyze music scores, because he was anxious to complete the works, so most of the works were just listening to the teacher’s explanation, and then according to the teacher’s ideas, combined with his own ideas when listening to the master’s recording , resulting in an understanding.

This kind of understanding cannot be said to be bad, it can only be said...

It's not entirely his. In fact, all these understandings are the teacher's understanding, or the master's understanding, not his, and he is just copying what others say.

As a result, many of his works are stuck in the mezzanine from entry to specialization. Without his own thinking, it is impossible for his works to go from entry to specialization.

Now, he has more time, and he doesn't have to be too anxious to catch up with the schedule, so he has so much time, in this place, to think carefully about the interpretation of music.

Time passed quickly at the tip of the pen, the sky was getting late, and the light was no longer enough to illuminate his score.

He Shen raised his head, looked at the street lights on the side of the road that came on at the same time, and suddenly realized that the day just passed by like this, and he was a little dazed for a while.

He got up and walked to the door of the piano room, turned on the light in the piano room, and let the gentle yellow light shine on the piano score again.

Just when he was about to go back to look at the piano score, the system that hadn't made any movement for an unknown period of time suddenly made a little movement at this moment.

【Ding!Congratulations to the host, romanticism, advanced, successfully entered Lv6, specialization level]

Expert level?
He Shen's eyes widened involuntarily, and he froze for a moment.

How could I, just check for leaks and make up for gaps, and bring Romanticism to the specialization level?

This……

I don't feel it at all...

He Shen scratched his head, took out a lollipop from his pocket, calmed himself down, then lay down on the sofa, staring at the system panel in front of him, feeling a little dazed for a while.

That's it... It's a matter of course, directly reaching the specialization level?
He Shen stroked the non-existent beard on his chin, full of doubts.

Shouldn't it feel instantly clear after learning the specialization level?Why does it feel like it has no effect at all?Just so ordinary, unremarkable, promoted to the specialization level?

He Shen said to the system.

"System, my romantic music... has it really reached the specialization level?"

[Inquiring about the level... The inquiry is successful, your romanticism level is Lv6, and the current level is the specialization level. 】

"Are you really sure? My romance level is Expert level? Not entry level?"

[Your Romanticism level is Lv6, and the current level is Specialization level. 】

He Shen confirmed it two or three times in a row, and after confirming that he was sure that he was not mistaken, he couldn't help scratching his head.

This feeling is too vain, just reaching the specialization level so directly, there is no feeling of excitement at all.

but……

He Shen couldn't help sighing when he looked at a large group of musicians under his romantic period works.

It is relatively easy to upgrade from the entry level to the professional level, but it is difficult to upgrade from the professional level to the master level.

A few master-level works of my own basically can't get too many levels, just a little bit after playing enough.

The further you go, the harder it is to pull.

So here comes the question, the average level is Lv8, is there such a strong person in this world?
He Shen thinks there should be no...

[Ding, found Romantic music, ranked first in the world, anonymous, Romantic period works, level Lv9; Baroque period works, level Lv7 (132 places); classical period works, level Lv8 (37 places), modernist period works , level Lv6 (not displayed)]

"???"

Hey, that's too much, you came out to beat your self-confidence before I asked?

He Shen looked helpless, sighed, stretched out his hand and waved at the panel in front of him, intending not to let it disturb his mentality.

After all the romantic music, breaking through from Lv5 to Lv6, the result looks like this...

It seems that there should be none of the top [-] in the world?

I really don't know where so many perverts come from, let's put it here to make the list...

Just when He Shen picked up the pen and was about to continue analyzing the score, the system beeped again.

【Ding!The system monitoring has passed, confirming that the host is currently at the romantic music level: Lv6, reaching the specialization level, and rewarding the host]

[Reward 5: Lucky Draw Wheel: [-] times]

[Reward [-]: Select a set of pure and professional works. 】

[A group is defined as: works of the same type under the same name of the composer. 】

He Shen was stunned again. He didn't know whether this review was due to the fact that he had asked several times before, or because of some other reason?

But no matter what... I actually got so many rewards!
especially this...

He Shen looked at the last reward, which was reward two.

Reward to choose a group of professional works!
This means... I can choose other works under the name of Chopin?
He Shen looked at the work he was holding in his hand, and fell into deep thought for a while.

If you need to use this item, then what work should you choose that is the most suitable and the most cost-effective?

Several options immediately appeared in He Shen's mind.

First of all, the works I want to choose are naturally works that I have not studied, so I have to exclude Chopin's ballads, preludes, and concertos now.

The remaining nocturnes, because I only learned one, there are more than 20 left, which can be used completely, so that I can master all nocturnes.

But... is it really worth it?
If you look at the direction of future career development, then no matter what you choose, it is worthwhile, even if you choose those works that have reached the master level, it is still worthwhile.

After all, one is to see how Chopin interprets these works from the perspective of No.1, and the other is to see how Chopin teaches others to play his works from a third-person perspective.

This one is totally different!

Of course, if he was allowed to choose now, saying that he would use this master work now, and give this master work a specialization level experience book, he would definitely not want it, and it was completely unnecessary.

As for whether Chopin's Nocturne is worth it, it is actually the same as other master-level works. He has already used a master-level work, the Nocturne of Chopin Op9 and No2.

Therefore, he has a general idea of ​​other nocturnes, which are basically played for friends at night parties, basically without any other particularly important information.

Therefore, there are still a few works left in front of him to choose from.

Chopin's piano sonatas, three, these are very important works and can be used as an alternative.

Chopin's four scherzos, and six fantasias, these are very delicate works.

Chopin's 55 mazurkas, ten polonaises, fourteen waltzes, and four impromptu pieces are all small works composed of emotional forms.

Seeing those 55 mazurkas, He Shen really wanted to choose this work. After all, there are so many works...

It can be regarded as the most numerous works.

However, he held back and looked at all the works in front of him.

According to the classification, these works can be divided into three categories, and the three sonatas of the serious category are counted as one category.

Scherzo and fantasia count as one category, they are larger works written in free form.

Finally, mazurka, polonaise, waltz, impromptu, these can be counted as a category, small form.

So what should you choose?

He Shen gave priority to excluding the sonata. For this thing, if he has the opportunity in the future, he will definitely need to use master-level memory. This is a particularly important work and must not be trifled with.

So, what are the works that are relatively simple, applicable, and especially helpful to me in the future?

He Shen looked at the Scherzo and Fantasia, they were very delicate, but...

There is one thing to say, this overlaps with the ballad, and it is naturally important, but it is not particularly necessary to get this work out immediately. I have a ballad in front of me, and it can last for a long time.

Then, the options I have now should be Mazurka, Polonaise, Waltz, and Impromptu.

He Shen thought for a while, but still ruled out the mazurka and impromptu, which are not very practical.

There are too many mazurkas, if he really wants to reach all the works to the professional level, then he must spend a lot of time.

If you suddenly give yourself a reminder that you are not physically strong enough to use it, and you can only save it temporarily, then you will be scolded!

As for the impromptu song, this thing is obviously made on the fly. Although there is thinking and rewriting, the main and core idea is still improvisation.

For improvisation, you can learn improvisational accompaniment, but that kind of improvisation makes a purely original, classical music melody...

Basically unlikely.

So, now in front of me, only Polonaise and Waltz are left.

So do you choose Polonaise or Waltz?
Without any hesitation, He Shen looked directly at Polonaise.

With polonaise, what other waltz to choose?There are many particularly famous works in Polonaise!

Like...Army Polonaise (dance music)!
and so……

He Shen looked at the system and said.

"Using Pure Level Specialization, Opus Selection, Chopin, Polonaises"

"Aka, Polonaise!"

【Ding!Use successfully! 】
