Platinum Key of Rebirth

After Lei Xiu left, the remaining two began to complain about the courses for the second half of the school year and their future prospects.

"Speaking of which, Yan Lei, what are you going to do in the future?" Fei Lan asked.

Fei Lan propped his chin and thought for a while: "You can work after graduation, or you may stay in school and work as a teaching assistant while studying in graduate school..."

At this moment, Lei Xiu walked back with a puzzled expression on his face, and sat down in his original position.

"Who did you see just now?" Fei Lan asked, who would Lei Xiu care about?

Lei Xiu shook his head: "It should be... I was wrong, that person will not appear here."

"It's almost time, let's enter the venue." Yan Lei interrupted them, raised his wrist, and the concert was about to start.

Weierda gave a concert before, but they didn't go to listen to it that time, but they saw it in the news. The atmosphere of the audience was very enthusiastic. Fei Lan was still taken aback when he came to the scene in person.

Generally speaking, at this kind of concert, the audience is mostly middle-aged or elderly people. Of course, there are also young parents who bring their children to listen, but generally speaking, the number of people is not many.At least, that was the case when Gao Yongxia held the concert, and the audience came without exception in well-dressed gowns—to be honest, here, he was a little intimidated.

Lei Xiu laughed unceremoniously: "Verda is really big and small. If you don't know, you might think it's some kind of celebrity concert."

Fei Lan couldn't help laughing: "Have you not held a concert for a long time, are you jealous of Verda?"

Lei Xiu was originally smiling at a group of girls who looked like students, but now he turned his head to look at Fei Lan: "Don't tell me, I'm really a little jealous, why are all uncles and aunts coming to listen to our concert?" , as soon as he opened, most of the audience seats were occupied by little girls."

"Let's take a seat quickly," Yan Lei hurriedly invited the two people in.

It wasn't a particularly good location, Lei Xiu frowned somewhat dissatisfied, but Verda didn't know they were coming, so he could only make do with it.

The concert has not yet started, but the atmosphere is already very enthusiastic, including many foreign audiences.Verda can be said to be the most popular young pianist now, so I can understand the enthusiastic atmosphere.

The concert started soon, and the little girls who were making noise just now fell silent, and Verda walked onto the stage and sat down in front of the piano.

"What piece is he playing?" Lei Xiu asked while sitting on the chair.

Yan Lei, who was sitting next to Fei Lan, flipped through the playlist: "The first song is "Memories of Don Juan"...Is this a Chinese song?"

"This is the piano piece "Memories of Don Juan" adapted by Liszt based on Mozart's opera "Don Giovanni". I didn't expect Verda to play this first," Fei Lan propped his chin and looked at Verda who had already sat down on the piano bench. Da, "It's not easy."

"Hmph." Lei Xiu snorted disapprovingly.

Yan Lei looked at Fei Lan in confusion: "What's wrong with him?"

Fei Lan explained to Yan Lei: ""Memories of Don Juan" is Xiaoxiu's famous song, and he became famous internationally with this song."

"Wow..." Yan Lei looked at Lei Xiu with admiration. Although Lei Xiu said he was a teacher, he generally gave people a lazy feeling and never mentioned his history of fame. There is a feeling of "this person is really a master of playing".He turned to look at Fei Lan again, "Is this piece difficult?"

Fei Lan nodded: "This is a very difficult piece, whether it is rhythm or technique, the difficulty is very high. To be honest, it is really difficult to hear this song "Memories of Don Juan" at a general concert. , it is known as one of the ten most difficult pieces in the world."

"Yes, is it?"

""Memories of Don Juan" is the quintessence of Liszt's many adaptations. The technique is difficult and the scene is grand, creating an amazing momentum on the rich expressions of the original work." Fei Lan glanced at Lei Xiu, "Xiao Xiu's performance He is famous for his precise technique and grasping the right rhythm, so for "Memories of Don Juan", it can be said to be the most suitable player."

"It's started," as soon as Lei Xiu's voice fell, the first note flowed from his fingertips on Verda's piano, and the melodious sound of the piano was displayed under Verda's superb piano skills.Whether it's right-hand long-span arpeggios or long-span jumps, reverse scales are perfect under his fingers.

It was the first time for Yan Lei to come to this kind of concert. He only saw Weier's slender fingers jumping and flying on the black and white keys. It was almost impossible to imagine that human fingers would be so nimble. The fantasia unfolded like this, capturing everyone's hearts.

As if possessing magical power, Velda is like the king who reigns here, his fingers control everyone's emotions as if possessing magical power.People's emotions seem to be controlled by him, and people's eyes seem to be fixed on his fingers, unable to move away.

Yan Lei looked at Lei Xiu and Fei Lan beside him, their expressions were different from the ones here.

It's not that they didn't listen carefully or were absent-minded, but in fact, they seemed to listen more seriously than everyone else here, but they couldn't see the amazement and fascination shown by others on their faces, but more like judges. On closer review in general.

"Here we come..." Fei Lan said suddenly.

A section of difficult notes flowed out from Velda's fingers.

"What?" Yan Lei asked subconsciously.

"This is the most difficult melody between octaves and thirds in this piece," Fei Lan smiled after listening carefully. keyboard, with a large right-hand minor third chromatic progression accompanied by left-hand dots."

"How is he playing?" Yan Lei couldn't understand Fei Lan's words at all.

Lei Xiu who spoke this time: "Sure enough, although Verda performed well, he still can't do it here."

"Xiaoxiu's techniques are more skilled than Verda's. This part is not too difficult for Xiaoxiu." Fei Lan nodded approvingly, "But Verda has improved a lot compared to a few years ago. I thought he was doing it for these activities. He neglected playing the piano, it seems that he has worked hard."

Lei Xiu said disapprovingly: "Pull it down, you can see how he plays."

Fei Lan smiled: "You and Verda should be in the same period. I think he is better at grasping the rhythm and handling some details than you."

Yan Lei thought that with Lei Xiu's conceited character, he would definitely refute, but he didn't expect that Fei Lan nodded slightly when he said this.What surprised Yan Lei even more was that when it came to commenting on Verda's piano skills, Fei Lan commented like their predecessors, which is really surprising.

"Memories of Don Juan" ended perfectly with Verda's technique of jumping octaves, and the people present couldn't help applauding fiercely.

After the applause subsided, Verda officially gave the opening speech for the concert, followed by several performances by domestic music performers, as well as performances by some foreign pianists invited by Verda.

"I just said that Verda has no good intentions," Lei Xiu said, leaning on the chair and hugging his shoulders.

"Why?" Yan Lei was puzzled.

Fei Lan propped his chin and said, "Looking at this level, the pressure on the performers who will appear next is not small, especially those who have not reached the height of Verda."

"It's really hard work," Lei Xiu said lazily.

Fei Lan looked at Lei Xiu helplessly, and continued to listen to the next performance.

After Verda played a few more pieces, the venue was given to Zhang Yueyan.

"Hey, your ex is here," Lei Xiu said to Yan Lei sarcastically.

Yan Lei coughed lightly, but did not respond aloud.

On the wide stage, Zhang Yueyan was wearing a dark red dress, her long black hair was simply stuck up behind her head, and she walked to the stage holding a violin.Instead of the crystal violin she used to perform, she held an ordinary-looking violin.

"This little girl's piano skills are not good," Lei Xiu said before playing, and turned his head to meet Yan Lei's dissatisfied eyes. They are all long-established pianists. Verda is considered young, but he had already started a concert tour when he was seven or eight years old. Therefore, although she plays the violin, in terms of standards, all the players here The performers are all her seniors, the gap... can be imagined."

Although they have already broken up, Yan Lei is still looking forward to Zhang Yueyan's performance this time. After all, as a friend, he hopes that she can really become famous.

"It's okay, don't listen to him," Fei Lan turned to comfort Yan Lei, "Since Verda can let her take the stage, he must have something to consider, if he is not sure, Zhang Yueyan will not call everyone from the school. "

That's right, Yan Lei nodded.

At this moment, Lei Xiu brought over the repertoire to read, pointed to one of them and said, "Hey, Verda invited a mysterious guest."

"It's a gimmick," Fei Lan smiled. He has been dealing with Shen Yuezhi for so long, even if he hasn't done it himself, he can almost see it.

At this time, Zhang Yueyan had already started playing.

The track she played was "The Skylark".

"He's pretty good at selecting songs," Lei Xiu leaned on the chair.

Yan Lei listened carefully, and couldn't help saying: "... so fast."

Fei Lan nodded after listening. He had heard many people play "The Skylark" before, but he rarely heard such a fast-paced song. The song itself is very fast, and the song is very short, and it can be over in a few minutes. .

""Skylark" is famous for its unique vibrato on the high e-string of the violin. Now it sounds like she plays pretty well," Lei Xiu said suddenly after listening to it, "how could she improve all of a sudden?"

Fei Lan tilted her head: "It is impossible to say that it is impossible to improve all at once, but if you use this piece of music for special practice to overcome it, it is not difficult to be able to play it like this. I think she must have put in a lot of effort."

"Oh, it's good to follow Velda," Leixiu said with a smile.

Seeing Yan Lei's puzzled expression, Fei Lan explained: "This piece of music cleverly uses the vibrato technique of the violin's up and down fingers. Under the bright, clear, pleasant and transparent tone of the E string, the superb vibrato skills are completed in one go. Zhang Yueyan pulled Not bad."

Although the performance lasted only a few minutes, it also received warm applause from the audience, which can be said to be very successful.

Virda stepped onto the stage and said in clumsy Chinese: "Today I have invited my good friend, who is also a world-renowned violinist, to come here..."

At the place where Zhang Yueyan had just stepped down, another tall woman walked up.

Her long golden hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and her simple white dress further accentuated her perfect figure and youthful and beautiful appearance.

It wasn't until she stepped into the spotlight that Velda said her name.

"Vienna Orchestra, principal violinist, Ms. Gao Yongliang!"

Yan Lei felt that Fei Lan's body beside him became stiff all of a sudden, he turned to look at Fei Lan, and found that the other's face was full of shock.
