Chapter 26 The University Teacher
Chopin's Prelude?

He Shen was stunned for a moment, looking at the specialization level written earlier, and the one that consumed two specialization level works to change to another specialization level work to become a master level, his gaze was a bit complicated.

First of all, this upgrade must not be upgraded, because Chopin's prelude is different from other preludes. Chopin's prelude is not that kind of separate, but only exists as an introduction.

This set of Chopin's preludes is completely written in accordance with the method of the circle of fifths in the temperament, starting from the C major at the beginning and going to the relative tonality of A minor.

Then from a minor, continue to go up, and come to the fifth tone of C major, G major, and after G major is its relative key, e minor.

This cycle goes on and on until the final D minor, from the ascending series to the descending series, through all 24 tones, and the end of the whole song, a total of 24 pieces.

The relationship between these 24 works is extremely precise, and many of them have only more than 20 bars in tonality, so you can even consider them all as one work.

These 24 preludes are centered on an extremely delicate musical idea, constructed and expanded, but these musical ideas are not purely repeated, nor are they developed technically.

Just relying on Chopin's emotions and feelings, doing extremely complex and amazing changes and developments.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to disassemble any of them and replace them with other works to become masters.

So what about the remaining three works that exist independently?
He Shen looked at the three works that were placed on the far side and separated separately.

Prelude in C-sharp minor, Op. 45, No. 25, in C-sharp minor, 2/2 time, the theme is Sostenuto, composed in 1841, dedicated to Princess E. Czernicheff.Compared with most of its preludes, this piece is longer. In addition, this piece is based on an unchanging theme with more half-tone transpositions, so that it includes nearly all 12 tones.

Prelude in A-flat major, Op.45, No. 26, in A-flat major, 2/4 time, originally titled only Presto con leggierezza, composed in 1834, gifted to Pierre Wolff, Published in Geneva in 1918 as a prelude.The music is short and bright.

Prelude in E-flat major, op.45, No. 27) is in E-flat major. A professor of music history at a university next door thinks it is similar to Giuseppe Tartini's Devil's Trill Sonata, so he also calls it "The Devil's Trill Sonata". vibrato".According to the information I learned before, Chopin did not complete the song at the time, but discarded it, but the professor reproduced the part written by Chopin and made subsequent revisions.

Of these three works, you can choose to discard two and replace them with a master-level work.

The first reaction in He Shen's brain was to choose the prelude area in E-flat major to reproduce this work, but he quickly threw this idea away.

Obviously, even if this work gives me the memory of Chopin, I have no way to perfect it, because it is an incomplete work.

And when the time comes, if what I play does not match the modern accepted version, will the group of people who study music history listen to me or those big guys?

If you want to make your voice powerful, you must rely on strength and status. You have strength, but status...

He Shen shook his head, discarded this option, and looked at the first piece, the Prelude in C sharp minor.

This is a very long prelude, and it keeps changing the tone, close to 12 tones. If you consider it from the perspective of cost performance, this is the best choice.

And the other A-flat major is too short, and I feel that I can't learn a lot, so He Shen rejected it.

To learn Chopin's ideas by yourself, the key point is to understand Chopin, and then derive his feeling to other works of Chopin, rather than focusing on one work.

For example, after I finished playing these four Chopin ballades, I have a new understanding of Chopin's etudes, as well as barge songs, sonatas, Polonaise and other works.

He Shen didn't hesitate, and quickly combined the three works in his mind into one work.

[Ding, the selection of works is completed, the works are being merged, and the works are successfully merged]

[Congratulations on your work: Chopin Prelude Op45, No25, is it activated now? 】

"Not active."

He Shen shook his head. Now is not the time to activate it. He will activate it after he gets home. Just after the activation is over, he can directly start practicing on his piano.

He Shen raised his eyes and looked at Zhou San who was negotiating with Wang Pei. Just as he was about to walk over, Zhou San shook hands with Wang Pei, and both sides showed satisfied smiles.

Seeing He Shen approaching, Wang Pei immediately waved to him.

"He Shen, I just talked to President Zhou. Because of the university's reasons, their music school doesn't have enough funds, so they can only pay you 3 yuan. Do you think this is okay?"

"can."

He Shen nodded. After all, he only bought the original recording. If he didn’t sell it here, they could also listen to it online, and use their headphones or speakers with different sound quality to listen to the compressed audio.

Although the feeling may not be as good as the original version, but you can definitely feel something.

Now they buy the original audio from themselves, and they can give 3 yuan, especially to the universities in the state, which is already very good.

At least there is no "I, student, free!".

Satisfied with He Shen, Wang Pei immediately showed a smile on his face, and said immediately.

"Just as long as you are satisfied, Principal Zhou just said that he has something to say to you, so let's talk first."

After finishing speaking, Wang Pei gave He Shen a hint, then pulled away Zhao Zitong, who was still in a daze, and quickly left the recording studio.

And on Wednesday, after both of them had left, he cleared his throat and asked He Shen.

"I just heard from Mr. Wang Peiwang that you seem to have something to ask me? Is it about the university?"

"Well, I want to go to university and become a teacher."

He Shen didn't make a detour, and said directly to Zhou San, and Zhou San seemed to be used to He Shen's straightforwardness, and he also knew what He Shen wanted to say from Wang Pei, so he couldn't help touching his chin , tilting his head to look at the ceiling, his face showing embarrassment.

"This is a little tricky."

"Ms. Wang said just now that you and he both graduated from Wuzhou Conservatory of Music with a bachelor's degree. This degree is a little lower. Even if we relax, we still need a master's degree."

"If you want to break the rules and enter our school, then you have to show relative results, at least, you have to be a national champion."

"Can you... take it out?"

Wednesday looked into He Shen's eyes, waiting for his answer.
