Pipa line

After school that afternoon, Yuesen rarely went to the piano room to practice, but stayed in the classroom until he was the only one left.He silently looked at the information books spread out on the table, as still as a statue.

"Yuesen, what are you looking at?"

Yue Senlian was startled, and quickly turned over the document in her hand and put it on the table with its back facing up.

Weiming was a little baffled by his actions, "Why are you so overreacted?"

"...It's nothing." Yuesen calmed down, and put the information into the textbook as if nothing had happened, "Why are you here?"

Weiming gave him a strange look, "Didn't you make an appointment to practice the ensemble this afternoon?"

"..." Yuesen froze for a moment, thinking that this was indeed the case.He looked away awkwardly: "Sorry, I forgot."

"..." Weiming frowned and looked at him.

"……What's wrong?"

"It's nothing..." Weiming rubbed the tip of his nose, "I just feel that you, Yuesen, are... a bit unusual, uh, normal?"

"..."

"So what were you looking at just now?"

"...It's nothing." Yuesen put the textbooks into his schoolbag and stood up: "Let's go."

The sentence just now was actually a random question.Weiming said hello, and the two went to the practice room together.

"Yuesen, how is your ensemble going?"

"Ah, generally there is no problem." Tsukimori nodded lightly, and then added a little dissatisfied: "However, Tsuchiura has not come several times, saying that the football club has training and cannot leave."

"If that's the case, there's no other way. But it doesn't matter if Tsuchiura-senpai plays the piano so well." Weiming rubbed the tip of his nose: "But when I saw Tsuchiura-senpai for the first time, I didn't think he would play the piano so well." Playing the piano... He is so tall and his hands are so big, it feels as if he will smash the keyboard of the piano." She looked down at her hands: "I really didn't expect that he could play such a soft piano What about the tune?"

Yue Sen also glanced at her hands: "...your hands are very small."

"Is there?" Weiming looked at his hand carefully again, and deliberately turned his palm to face Yuesen: "It's the size of a normal ordinary person."

"No...you see."

His outstretched palm touched hers.

"……so small."

Her fingertips barely reached above his first knuckles.

Weiming shuddered, slightly curling her cool fingertips.Thin calluses scratched his fingers, itching.

She blushed and withdrew her right hand: "Compared with you, Yuesen...of course it will be smaller, boys' palms are bigger."

"Really?" Yue Senlian looked at her bright red profile, feeling more and more confused.

"Wei Ming..." He hesitated and asked, "Have you ever thought about...studying abroad?"

"Study abroad?" Weiming tilted his head: "I am now."

"No, that's not what I'm talking about." Yue Senlian paused, "I mean, have you ever thought about studying in Vienna?"

"Vienna?"

"Well. Vienna is the capital of music, and it is also a place where many famous musicians have been made. Since you are also a music student, haven't you ever wanted to study abroad?"

"...If you don't want to say anything, put it aside for now." Weiming touched the tip of his small nose: "I'm learning the pipa, so Vienna shouldn't teach it."

"...Well." Yuesen lowered his eyes, his tone sounded emotionless, but there was also a faint sense of disappointment: "That's true."

On Sunday morning, inside the Yokohama National Concert Hall.

Tsuchiura Ryotaro adjusted the height of the piano bench, moved his fingers, and nodded to Tsukimori Ren.Yue Senlian also nodded to him, and then looked around at the few people sitting beside her, seeing that they all said that everything was ready, she raised the violin bow in her hand.

Glinka, Overture to Ruslan and Lyudmila.

The violin and piano played powerful notes at the same time, followed by the flute, clarinet and trumpet, and the beautiful and impactful melody was full of joyful passion.The cello sang the broad and clear sub-theme with rare enthusiasm, and at the same time, the violin was also excitedly repeating the same melody.The addition of the viola neutralizes the deepness of the former and the high-pitchedness of the latter, so that all the sounds can be harmonized together.

Perhaps because they are performance-oriented players, their performance at this time is much better than the best one during normal practice.The intertwined sound of music outlines a magical feeling. The adventure journey of the warrior Ruslan bravely breaking into the magic cave to save his fiancée Princess Lyudmila and finally winning is like a picture scroll, which is slowly unfolded in front of everyone. .

"Why do I always have to come out after such stressful performances..." Wei Ming muttered in a low voice while standing in the background.

"There is pressure to be motivated." Jin Ze squeezed his chin in satisfaction: "These boys are doing well."

"Yeah, you have to have a little confidence in yourself." Wang Qixinwu also nodded with a smile and said, "You are No.2 in the school music competition."

"..." Weiming touched the tip of his nose.Can school-level and city-level be compared?

The performance between the three of them was finished, and the other five people except Yuesen returned to the backstage one after another with their instruments.Jin Ze gently pushed Weiming's shoulder: "It's your turn, go."

"Come on!"

Weiming raised his head to meet the gaze of Mori Lian who was looking straight at the backstage last month. For some reason, he was suddenly a little nervous.She swallowed carefully, cheered herself up silently in her heart, and slowly walked onto the stage with her pipa in her arms.

"The next program is: Violin and Pipa duet "Flying Music and Dance". Performers: Yokohama City Star Academy Ren Tsukimori, Liu Weiming."

Weiming slowly sat down holding the pipa amidst the curtain call, adjusted the pitch at last, and nodded to Tsukimori to indicate that she was ready.

Seeing Weiming's tense look as if he was facing a big enemy, Yuesen couldn't help showing a smile in his eyes.He also nodded to Weiming, quietly waiting for her opening.

Duet, one of the important components of performance, can test the player's ability to listen and the concept of interaction.Just as an actor's lines are fixed, so are the notes of a piece of music.However, just as different actors have different tones, expressions, etc. when expressing even the same character, the performers convey or extend their emotions to the ensemble players are also different from person to person.A good coordination is like a rivalry, relatively speaking, it is a kind of stimulation, which can spark sparks and even endow the whole piece of music with different meanings and vitality.

At this moment, the two people on the stage explained the significance of the ensemble very well.

Violin and Pipa Duet, "Flying Music and Dance"

The beautiful and melodious pipa was played first, followed by the melodious solo of the violin after a few bars, followed by a tentative chorus between the two, until finally the two were seamlessly intertwined.If the crisp sound of the pipa is the rapidly spinning dance of the flying apsaras, then the long and mellow violin is the swirling ribbons of the flying apsaras.The drumbeat of the accompaniment has a strong sense of movement, as if the graceful flying apsaras are spinning faster and faster, entraining flowers and colorful clouds to fly in the sky, and then sprinkle to the ground while spinning.The beautiful fairy dancing with fragrance all over her body is light and elegant, and the streamers are flying in the midst of the magical illusion, chic and elegant.

Wei Ming was a little nervous at the beginning, but he completely let go of it by the second half of the performance.The melody with strong Chinese national characteristics flowed freely in the concert hall of Nuoda University, and the casualness and freedom that could not be concealed in the melody poured out from their hands.After the occasional eye contact, the violin and pipa ensemble will become more tacit and natural.

Feixian becomes immortal, singing and dancing, wandering around the world.

"...It sounds good." Zhishui, who usually seemed drowsy, stared at the stage with sparkling eyes.

"It's... great!" Huoyuan murmured, "Damn it, Tsukimori doesn't even let us sit in on their practice! Otherwise, we can listen to it a few more times!"

"I think the reason why Tsukimori didn't let you listen in is because you'd disturb them by yelling, senior." Tsuchiura teased him.

"Hey, Wang Qi." Jin Ze frowned slightly: "Do you feel that... it seems to be different from the demonstration in the video tape?"

"Ok?"

"It feels... How should I put it? It's brighter and lighter than in the video tape?"

"Ah, if I'm not wrong, it's because of the pitch." Wang Qixinwu pushed his glasses and said with admiration: "Their voices are about half a degree higher than those in the video tape, and this phenomenon not only It's just sticking to a certain section in the movement, but it runs through the whole piece of music. It's just such a slight change, but it subtly adjusts the whole atmosphere of the piece. Both are surprised."

Four fingers quickly passed the strings in turn, and the violin bow also quickly rubbed across the strings. Weiming and Yuesen looked at each other, and the melody was more cheerful and uninhibited.The bright treble danced wantonly, making people feel good.

"Tsk tsk, it's really hard for them to think of this way." Jin Ze rubbed his chin: "But it's... If there is no accident, this is the last time..."

"Huh?" Wang Qi turned his head in doubt: "What last time?"

"Ah, keep it secret, keep it secret." Jin Ze scratched the back of his head: "I can't say it for the time being."

"Oh……"

The short and powerful accent drew a perfect ending to the whole song. Yue Mori took Weiming's hand and bowed deeply to the audience.

"You played really well!" Huoyuan was still the first person to rush up: "Tsukimori and you two's ensemble is really--wonderful! Bravo!"

"Weiming, congratulations." Yuki Azuma also stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Liu Sang, can you try playing with me too?" Zhishui asked with bright eyes.

"In the future... I hope to hear more... your performances." Dong Hai stood beside him and said softly.

In the future...?

Yue Senlian lowered her eyes: "...ah."
