Platinum Key of Rebirth

"How much is that Porsche?" The classmate never gave up asking, "Who is the name of the car? Isn't it okay to buy it yourself..."

"I don't remember..." Fei Lan whispered, hoping to calm the other party down.

"Which model is it? Cayenne? Panamera? Or...?" The other party's enthusiasm did not weaken at all, until Professor Vince scolded in a low voice, he closed his mouth, looked at Fei Lan reluctantly, and began to play with himself violin.

The school provides violins for such beginners, but most of the violins are left behind after being used by seniors and sisters, and there are also donations from the public. They have been used for a long time and the sound is bad, so many students have their own violins. violin.

What Professor Vince sent to Fei Lan was an introductory book on the violin, which briefly recorded the history and development of the violin, the structure of the violin and basic performance knowledge.

Fei Lan was sitting on the chair by the window, holding the book and slowly flipping through it.

When he was not Fei Lan, he liked the violin very much, of course it was second only to the piano.It's just that a person can't contribute himself to two instruments. If he wants to improve his piano playing skills, he must give up other things. In the practice of piano skills, he gave up the time of love, and Put your heart and soul into it.When playing in front of the piano, he felt extremely happy, until his friend woke him up and made him stand up and leave the prosperous field, and seized the family affection in the only time.

The violin is my sister's favorite.My younger sister can also play the piano, as if their family is born with an extraordinary talent for musical instruments, but compared to the violin, the piano can only be said to be "able", just like him, he can play the violin.His piano skills were taught by his younger sister, and he was completely ignorant of the long history of the violin.Of course, not knowing the history of the violin does not hinder his playing at all.

So now, he reads the history of the violin with his textbook, and finds it quite interesting. The warmth of the sun on his body makes him feel very comfortable.His younger sister once went to France to study at the Paris Conservatory of Music, and her piano skills were greatly improved. After returning to Florence, he was impressed.That feeling is like a piece of rough jade being carefully polished, and finally becomes a priceless luxury jewelry.

"Is there anything you don't understand?"

Fei Lan looked up and saw Vince standing behind him.Vince is not tall, he is relatively short among foreigners, about 1.7 meters in height, curly chestnut hair and a messy beard, giving people a lazy and undisciplined feeling, but blue eyes But at some point it makes people feel sharp.

"I'm looking at the history of the violin." Fei Lan raised his head and smiled, "I never thought it would be like this."

Vince was a little disdainful: "Every musical instrument has its history. If you want to own her, you must know her past."

His Chinese is really good!Fei Lan thought with some surprise that he had known many foreigners who spoke Chinese before, but none of them could speak as fluently as Vince, let alone Spanish.

So he nodded sincerely: "Yes... Well, I think it's a pity to miss the previous class, and I will listen carefully to the next class."

Vince's face softened slightly: "Have you practiced the violin before?"

This question is a bit difficult to answer, as far as Fei Lan's experience is concerned, he has never touched this kind of musical instrument before, and he doesn't even know how to hold it.

"Well, you pick it up and I'll take a look," Vince said.

There are some things you can't hide, just like when you learn to ride a bike it's hard to forget, and it's even hard to pretend you never learned it.The same is true for learning musical instruments. Such deception is unnecessary and disrespectful to others.

Vince saw that Fei Lan was hesitating and did not move. He bent down and took his violin out of the case: "Stand up."

"Oh……"

Unable to allow Fei Lan to refuse, Vince pulled Fei Lan up, and then handed the bow to him: "The right hand."

Fei Lan obediently picked up the bow and looked at Vince.

Vince picked up a bow from the side and showed it to Fei Lan: "The tip of the thumb here is close to the root of the bow here, and the other fingers hold the bow stick like this, so that the back of the hand arches a natural circle. Relax your fingers, don't use too much force, and have a natural and soft feeling..." He glanced at Fei Lan and continued, "The thumb is opposite to the middle finger, and the tip of the little finger is placed on the bow stick, so that it can be moved as needed." He is dexterous The ground moved the little finger, moving forward and backward.

"Between the four fingers, move them slightly closer together, not apart." Vince said, "Try it."

Vince watched the somewhat dull young man pick up the bow and show it to himself.In his impression, although such a kid from a rich family is arrogant and self-important, he is not as useless as he imagined.They may linger in nightclubs until dawn or waste money and energy on things that others see as a waste of time, but in some places, the superiority of money can always be brought up.

He didn't know why Vince faltered in answering his question, but as long as a person picked up the violin, he could know whether the other person was a novice, whether he really wanted to learn, or just like the rumor that the classmate heard just now. , is to chase girls.

"I have learned a little bit from my...relatives," the other party replied a little embarrassedly, "I just learned to play, and I didn't study in such a systematic way."

His way of speaking is very humble, but when he picks up the violin, he seems to be a different person.

The violin is also a stringed instrument that requires the cooperation of both hands. When this person assumes the playing posture, everything from the eyes to the posture changes.The change was so natural, it was as if it was a matter of course that he could play the violin.

Vince was amazed, but he didn't show it on his face.He hadn't seen such a posture for a long time. Several years ago, when he was still abroad, the violin masters he knew were like him.He just picked it up casually, but when the fingers of his left hand lightly pressed on the fingerboard, his aura changed, and even his demeanor became arrogant.

This young man... can be said to be a child, how old can a freshman be, but when he posed for playing like this, Vince felt that he was facing a violin expert .

"Hold on," Vince said, making his voice sound as calm as possible, "just this one."

There's an etude on the music stand, and Vince flips it over: "This one."

This is an etude that all beginners must learn to play. Of course, Fei Lan has played it before.

However, after hearing Fei Lan's performance, Vince was still slightly relieved. How should I put it, that feeling was a kind of heart hanging in mid-air, finally letting go.Although the aura of this young man seems to be comparable to that of a violin master, it is true that the skills of the left hand shown in his playing, such as double strings, shifting, and vibrato, and the skills of the right hand-sequence bows and split bows , Stunning the bow, jumping the bow, pulling the bow, etc. are all very accurate and in place, but that's all.He is still a layman who has just mastered the skills. Maybe you can't find any faults in his performance, but when it comes to really famous pieces, he may not be able to play well.

Vince thought that maybe his relative had taught him violin, from posture to technique, but it was obvious that this person only grasped the external things, he lacked tempering, personal style, lack of more investment and use.

He is just a beginner.

This is Vince's conclusion.No matter why this person has the aura of a music master, as long as he plays, Vince can hear his true strength.

"You can play with the older ones, and you can ask me if you don't understand anything. The next class is for the seniors, so go there and listen to them." Vince came over and took away Fei Lan's just-acquired The beginner's violin tutorial, and then said to him, "You don't need this anymore."

It was replaced by another stack of books. Vince said, "This is for the senior grades. There is also a book list. If you are interested, you can buy it and have a look."

Fei Lan blankly looked at various books such as "Rhythm Training for Violin Players", "Dynamic Problems in Violin Playing", "Violin Tutorial", etc. He had seen them on his sister's bookshelf, but he didn't have time read those.

Under the surprised gazes of others, Fei Lan walked towards the senior grade area a little embarrassedly.

In fact, that is not considered an upper grade, but an area that students who have a basic understanding of the violin will contact.Because there is only one violin teacher for elective courses, and there is a relatively large gap in learning between students, usually the first lesson is for beginners, and the second lesson is for these students.Usually beginners choose violin for curiosity, so many people will switch to other elective courses in the second year, so the number of violin students who have already established a foundation in this area is very small.

Zhang Yueyan was here, and when she saw Fei Lan approaching, she frowned slightly, but said nothing.
