Chapter 29 24 Preludes
After He Shen took Zhao Zitong back, he continued to practice with her for several hours, and he practiced with her until five o'clock in the afternoon before He Shen left first.

I don't know if it's because of the pressure I put on Zhao Zitong. He Shen found out inexplicably that after listening to his performance today, Zhao Zitong seemed a little anxious and kept trying to move forward.

If he hadn't kept pulling Zhao Zitong back, He Shen was sure that Zhao Zitong would finish the whole work in one day.

Of course, playing well is one thing, but playing well is another.

According to Zhao Zitong's idea, if she can finish this work in one day, He Shen dares to let her overthrow and re-rehearse all this work in one day.

In this way, after forcibly stopping Zhao Zitong's progress, He Shen waved to her under her resentful gaze, and returned to his basement.

The sky was already a bit dim, and the narrow window in the basement did not allow any light to enter at all, and it was pitch black when it was opened.

He Shen skillfully reached out, touched the wire on the side, turned on the light, then closed the door, walked to the piano, and opened the piano cover.

The extremely skillful movements seemed to have been repeated tens of thousands of times.

He Shen stretched out his hand to open the piano bench under the keys, sat down and adjusted his position, put his fingers on the keys of the piano, pondered for a moment, and pressed the first note.

Prelude in C major, op28-1, excited, in 2/8 time.

The sound slowly sank into the piano, and He Shen interpreted this passionate prelude with his hands, so that the sound was completely wrapped up, showing extremely brilliant colors.

Full-bodied but not overflowing, bright but not dazzling.

As if painting a picture, this prelude in C major is quickly interpreted, constantly switching in various modes.

Finally, at the fifth measure of No.20, the whole song comes to an end, ending the whole song with an arpeggio.

After playing the last note, He Shen did not stop, but raised his hand slightly, letting the sound dissipate in the air, and then dropped it again.

Prelude in a minor, op28-2, Adagio, 2/2 time.

The extremely melancholic chords flowed from the piano, the short theme was repeated four times, each repetition was interpreted differently, the tonality was still changing rapidly, and he was not willing to be bound by A minor.

Prelude in G major, op28-3, lively, in 4/4 time.

……

Prelude in F sharp major, op28-13, Adagio, 6/4 time.

……

Prelude in B flat major, op28-21, cantabile, in 3/4 time.

……

Prelude in D minor, op28-24, passionate allegro, 6/8 beat.

After finishing the last sound, He Shen exhaled slowly, listening to the lingering sound lingering in the air, and then being absorbed by the sound insulation cotton, he nodded his head slightly.

This set of Chopin’s preludes is not long, basically each one can be completed in about 1 minute, and only a few very short ones may exceed 3 minutes, so He Shen did not spend a long time to complete this set a work.

He had learned the relevant knowledge about this set of works before, but he didn't know much about it. He could only say he had a general understanding of the overall framework.

Therefore, he is very much looking forward to getting the specialized version of this whole set of preludes this time.

He Shen immediately said to the unknown system in his mind.

"Open Chopin Preludes, op 28"

[Ding, it is detected that the host has a complete set of professional Chopin Preludes op28, which is being opened]

【Open successfully】

He Shen's eyes suddenly went dark, and when he woke up, he found that he was sitting in front of a desk, and there were many professional books on the desk in front of him, all of which were written in words he could not understand.

"So, am I still Chopin this time? So what's the difference between this specialization level and the master level?"

He Shen frowned slightly, but found that his body was controlled by himself this time. He couldn't help being startled. He stood up suddenly from the chair, and immediately bumped into the books next to him, causing a huge echo in the spacious space.

"George Mathias? What's the matter? Is there a problem?"

A gentle voice came from behind He Shen. He turned his head and saw a thin man with curly hair leaning against the piano, holding a few staff papers in his hand, smiling at him.

Before He Shen could react, the instinct of this body immediately spoke.

"No, sir, I don't have any problems"

"Why so serious, you can call me Chopin, or Friedrich, or do you have any better ideas?"

"Okay, Mr. Chopin..."

He Shen's eyes trembled for a while, and he finally knew what the situation was.

Master level, that is to let him substitute Chopin himself, and then think about Chopin's ideas and imitate his style.

The professional level is to let him become a student of Chopin, and temporarily study a piece of work with Chopin!
If so, is it possible to...

He Shen's eyes flickered, and he suddenly wondered if he could take this opportunity to learn other works instead of the prelude?
Like...Chopin's Polonaise?

He Shen felt that he seemed to have seized the opportunity to squeeze the wool, and there was a slight fluctuation in his originally indifferent tone, and he asked Chopin.

"Mr. Chopin, I would like to ask if I can learn your Polonaise. I am very curious about this piece."

"Polonaise? I'm sorry, I know this subject, but unfortunately I only wrote it when I was a child, and..."

Chopin shook his head, looked at He Shen who borrowed someone else's body, and frowned slightly.

"I think, I told you before that we need to follow the schedule. What we should study today is the prelude. According to your previous request, what we study is my latest prelude, not other works! "

"And... what about the Mazurka?"

He Shen immediately realized the problem. The current time is wrong. According to the time, Chopin wrote the prelude around 1830, and the time for teaching this body should be about the same.

And Chopin's Polonaise was around 1840, so the timing is understandable.

But the Mazurka is different. This is Chopin's earlier work, and the number of the work is even ranked No. 6, op6.

So, will Chopin teach himself this lesson?
He Shen waited expectantly for Chopin's reply, but unfortunately, Chopin just shook his head, walked up to him, stretched out his slender fingers and tapped the staff in front of him, and said.

"George Matthias, have you forgotten that we learned this piece only a few days ago? And you have already met my request, we can't waste time on this, so, sorry, I can't agree with you request, we should continue the study of the prelude."
