Chapter 54 Zhao Zitong's Next Song Selection
With these hours of practice, He Shen roughly understood the difference between the specialization level and the master level.

To put it simply, when you play a work from beginning to end according to the mark on the score, that is, when the degree of completion is 100%, then you can approach the line that breaks through the professional level.

When your completion rate exceeds 100% and you have a little idea of ​​your own, you can enter the professional level, that is, reach 101%, just like He Shen's Chopin Prelude.

When your completion reaches 200%, you have reached the end of this piece, the top of the professional level.

If you want to break through the specialization level and enter the master level, you need an opportunity.

When you can feel what Chopin is, when you can really feel Chopin, you have the opportunity to enter the master class.

but……

He Shen felt that after the master level, there was another realm. He was not sure about this realm, but he just felt that there was this realm.

This realm does not seem to continue to be derived above the master level. As far as Chopin is concerned, the master-level Chopin has come to an end, and another realm seems to open up another new path.

Perhaps, a new understanding of a work?

He Shen is not sure, there is no accurate standard for him to measure, and he has never seen anyone who has reached this level.

Even the system in my mind didn't give me a particularly accurate answer.

He Shen shook his head, put the matter behind him, looked at Zhao Zitong who was extremely excited over there, and asked.

"Do you have any thoughts on your future works?"

"Huh? Works?"

Zhao Zitong suddenly became quiet, and she turned to look at He Shen, a little dazed.

"What kind of work, don't you just need to play one work?"

"If you are preparing for the art test, then you only need to play two works, and you can choose an etude or sonata. If you are preparing for the internal examinations of those schools, you need to prepare four works."

He Shen explained lightly, put the music score in his hand back in front of Zhao Zitong, walked to the bookshelf on the side, and looked at her collection of books.

"You can choose a prelude and fugue in twelve well-tempered temperament, or an etude from the romantic period, or a sonata from the classical period. Which one do you plan to practice first?"

"teacher!"

Zhao Zitong raised his hand suddenly and asked He Shen.

"Well, ahem, He Shen, you told Uncle Zhou earlier that you want to play the Chopin Prelude, can you choose? I want to learn from you."

"No." He Shen shook his head: "You can't choose."

"Huh? Why..."

He Shen immediately continued to explain: "The main reason why you are not allowed to choose that piece of work is not the difficulty or anything, but that the twelve equal rhythms generally have a fixed direction."

"This point is not for music theory, nor is it pointing to Zhu Zaiyu, the discoverer of the twelve equal temperaments, but to Bach."

"Johann Sebastian Bach, court musician, his work "Equal Temperament Clavier Collection" is the name in our mouth, twelve equal temperament, which is the one I just told you."

"There are a total of 24 pieces in the top and bottom of the twelve well-tempered rhythms. Each capital has a prelude and a fugue. There should be 48 pieces in total."

"Do you want to learn?"

He Shen walked to Zhao Zitong's side and asked her.

He Shen has practiced these 24 preludes and fugues. When he was in school, he had to report a twelve-tempered piece every year, and then he also needed to play one when he graduated. He Shen thought it was troublesome, so he directly It took a month to practice all 24 songs.

One song a day, until the end of the month, there is still a little time to review, the timing is perfect.

It just... took a little long.

He Shen suddenly recalled his previous piano practice experience in school, and his body couldn't help shaking.

From the opening of the piano room at [-] o'clock in the morning until the closing of the piano room at [-] o'clock in the evening, except for half an hour of lunch at noon, I stayed in the piano room to practice the piano all the time, and almost died in it.

Zhao Zitong saw that although He Shen was indifferent, but there was a hint of eagerness in the depths of his eyes, he couldn't help but nodded thoughtfully, stood up cautiously, and asked He Shen.

"He Shen, why don't you... play it again for me to see?"

"it is good."

He Shen nodded without any hesitation, sat on the piano bench that still had the warmth of Zhao Zitong, put his fingers on the piano keyboard, turned his head and said to Zhao Zitong.

"Now I will demonstrate the first, C major, Prelude."

He Shen's fingers pressed down, playing seemingly frivolously, but actually sank into the piano. Through his own technology, he played Yamaha YUS3, which is a modern piano in Zhao Zitong's home, like a clavichord.

The timbre is crisp, short and transparent, like a string fluctuating.

Not at all like a modern piano.

He Shen played very fast, much faster than the speed given on the sheet music. After playing the prelude, He Shen started to play the fugue without any hesitation, and said.

"C major, four-part fugue."

The middle high voice starts first, then the high voice appears in imitation, and after a bar, the third voice also rises.

Before long, the fourth voice also appeared.

Each theme is presented very clearly, and the overall harmony is very full.

Can clearly feel the overall flow of music.

He Shen finished playing and asked.

"Do you like this twelve equal law?"

"Um……"

Zhao Zitong was a little hesitant, she frowned slightly, and shook her head uncertainly.

"I don't like it very much. I don't seem to be particularly interested in this kind of mechanical works."

After all, before He Shen could speak, she immediately waved her hand and said casually. "Hey, what are you doing in such a hurry, teacher? I just finished playing a piece. Let me polish this piece a few times first. Let's talk about it after it's stable."

"..."

He Shen looked at Zhao Zitong, but didn't speak. Zhao Zitong couldn't help but feel guilty for a while. After taking two steps back, He Shen spoke.

"Two days."

"Eh? What two days?"

"Two days later, I finished the semi-finals, and I can just accompany you to start a new work. During this period of time, you should first think about the selection of the next work, and I will think about it, and I will send you a selection list."

"Eh……"

Zhao Zitong pursed her mouth, and was about to say something, but seeing He Shen's extremely serious expression, she dared not say anything, so she couldn't help poking her hands, and said in a low voice.

"Oh, I see..."

"Ah."

He Shen nodded, glanced at the time, and was about to leave when Wednesday's text message came.

"The results of the semi-finals are out, congratulations, you have entered the semi-finals."
