Different God of Cooking [Rebirth]

"Autumn Whispers" is one of Richard Clayderman's most classic tracks. Although it is not difficult at all, it cannot be denied that "Autumn Whispers" is definitely the most famous track in China in this era. And closely associate the piano with the words elegance and tenderness.

After Zhao An started learning piano, the first piano piece he chose to practice was "Autumn Whispers".At that time, he was no longer in the Fourteenth Attached Primary School, and went to another elementary school. Because he could play the piano, and he could also play such a beautiful and well-known piece as "Autumn Whispers", he was highly sought after by his classmates.

At this time, Zhao An's hands were not fully opened and his fingers were not strong enough to play those difficult pieces, but the soothing melody of "Autumn Whispers" was still easy for Zhao An.

Someone said: The notes of "Autumn Whispers" are like whispers and whispers in the ear, as warm and lingering as the autumn sun.

It was difficult for Zhao An to understand what kind of feeling this was. He just played according to Richard Clayderman's highest-rated performance in his memory.

Even if there are some places where he thinks that some chords can be added to make the transition better, but he didn't do it.In Zhao An's mind, he always thought that since there is already the most outstanding performance version, it is the safest choice to just make a perfect copy.

And a voice that often appeared in Zhao An's heart, but Zhao An himself didn't want to admit it: You, an ordinary farmer's son, really understand what should be modified?All your modifications just make an elegant piano piece cheap.

Although Zhao An couldn't play his full level at this time, the piano in the music classroom was not in tune, and he couldn't even step on the pedals, but Zhao An's performance was still excellent.

All the distracting thoughts during this period of time seemed to disappear at this moment, and the hesitation and cowardice in Zhao An's heart that others could hardly detect were covered by the sound of the piano at this moment.It didn't disappear, but was hidden in Zhao An's superb piano playing skills.

Just like a warrior in armor, he is not afraid of any charge.

But when Zhao An hit the last note, all the memories and thoughts flooded in like sea water.

No matter how much you contact the piano, it is useless, you will not be recognized by anyone, and you will never become a real performer... Your parents have worked hard for you all your life, and in the end you can only end up with a serious illness... Piano is not suitable for you, just give up...

Zhao An's small back was instantly drenched in cold sweat, like a plane sinking in the sea, and the icy seawater engulfed him step by step, and there was no way to get rid of it.

Clap, clap, a burst of crisp applause brought Zhao An back from his thoughts.While kicking in a low voice, Zhao An turned his gaze to the place where the applause came from.

A little boy in a shirt and carrying a schoolbag stood at the door of the music classroom.Although Zhao An called him a little boy, in fact he should be about the same size as Zhao An.The facial features, eyebrows and eyes are very delicate. Although they haven't fully opened yet, it is already certain that he will definitely be an eye-catching existence in the future.

But at this moment, Zhao An secretly scolded himself for being too careless just now, as soon as he played the piano, he turned towards me without noticing the arrival of other people at all.

If someone found out that he could play the piano and played it so well, he would definitely get into big trouble.Fortunately, the other party is a child, I hope I can get away with it.

Just as Zhao An was about to get up, the other party came over and said first, "I'm sorry to interrupt you playing the piano, it's really good." After speaking, he gave a thumbs up.

Zhao An tried his best to pretend to be confused, and said, "I just listened to Teacher Feng playing the piano. I was very curious, and then I just played it casually."

However, the other party's face was full of seriousness, and he said: "No, this is Richard's "Autumn Whispers". I asked Teacher Feng, and Teacher Feng said that she can't play it either. And you played it with Richard just now. It's exactly the same, which is really good."

Zhao An could feel that the other party was sincerely praising him, but Zhao An didn't want the other party's praise at this time.If he had really heard "Autumn Whispers", it would be really troublesome, and he had to be persuaded.

"How could I possibly play what you whispered, I don't know at all, let alone be exactly the same." Zhao An tried his best to make his smile look more believable.

But obviously the other party was not so easy to solve. He walked up to Zhao An and said, "I can't remember wrongly. I remember the melody you played just now very clearly." A few notes.

It was the main theme of "Autumn Whispers", and he wanted to use this method to prove that he heard it clearly just now.

This is even more troublesome. I didn't expect to meet a child who can play the piano.There are very few people who can play the piano these days, let alone elementary school students, why is it so troublesome.

Zhao An is already considering whether to deal with all this directly by refusing to admit it. A primary school student said that "Zhao An can play the piano exactly like Richard Clayderman", which is not very credible.

But at this time, the little boy suddenly reached out and pressed more than a dozen keys, not like Zhao An's skillful arpeggio technique, but pressing down with one finger of his right index finger in sequence. Judging from this fingering, the other party doesn't seem to be able to play The look of the piano.

Just in Zhao An's curiosity, he played a few keys alone, which happened to be d2, a3, #b3, c4 and other keys that Zhao An determined had problems with pitch.

Is this a coincidence?

As soon as the question flashed through Zhao An's mind, the little boy took the initiative to say: "But the sound of these keys seems to be a little different from the "Autumn Whispers" I have heard."

After he finished speaking, he pressed the black and white button again, as if to confirm whether he had heard correctly.However, he seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and returned to the country in a panic and said to Zhao An: "Sorry, I didn't say that you made a mistake in playing the piano, it seems to be a problem with the piano. I felt this way when I had the first class in the afternoon , so I wanted to ask Mr. Feng after school."

When he heard this, a suspicion suddenly flashed in Zhao An's mind, out of his love for music, or his obsession with the piano, Zhao An asked, "Can you hear the difference between each note? "

A trace of hesitation flashed across the red face of the little boy, and he said, "It should be possible."

Zhao An stretched out his hand and pressed three notes at random, and asked, "How do you feel?"

"There is a little problem with the third note, it seems to be a little higher." The boy was a little unconfident because it was the first time he encountered such a problem, but he still gave his own answer.

Is it really the same as what I thought?Zhao An subconsciously asked: "Then which three notes did I play just now?"

"I don't understand." The little boy shook his head.

Zhao An also complained to himself in his heart, let alone elementary school students these days, even high school students do not have the opportunity to receive systematic music theory education, how could they tell which three notes they are?

Who knew that the boy said at this time: "But I should be able to sing."

Then he followed the pronunciation practice method taught by Mr. Feng in class, using the word "ah" to sing the three scales that Zhao An played just now.His voice is very crisp, like knocking on a triangle, showing the clarity of a child's voice to the fullest.

Of course, the most important thing is that the pitch he sang was indeed the three notes that Zhao An played just now, especially the last one, which was a bit high due to the problem of the piano strings, quickly returned to the standard pitch during the process of his vocalization. superior.

Even though there are still many problems with the strength and stability of the breath because the little boy has not undergone systematic vocal learning, it cannot hide the fact that the little boy has an absolute sense of pitch.

The so-called absolute pitch is the ability to distinguish the specific pitch of a sound without a reference sound, which is a dream ability for anyone who studies music.But most of this ability is innate, such as Beethoven, Mozart and other world-renowned musicians have such ability.

In the music class, Zhao An could instantly tell that there was a problem with the intonation of the piano sound, which is also a manifestation of absolute pitch.

It's just that Zhao An's sense of pitch is not innate, but acquired through continuous learning.

In order to learn and imitate the performances of those well-known pianists, Zhao An must hear clearly every use of strong and weak sounds, long and short sounds, portamento, and pauses.

Zhao An is definitely not talented in this respect, so he can only listen to and play over and over again.

When playing the piano, your hands will not leave the piano.When there is no piano, earphones are always hung in both ears.Tenosynovitis and otitis media have long been used to by Zhao An.

For a period of time, I even experienced temporary hearing loss due to excessive ear use, and I had to reduce the practice intensity, which was only reduced.That period of time should be the most relaxing period for Zhao An.

It was this kind of hard study and practice that allowed Zhao An to have a hearing that was close to absolute pitch.Seeing a real musical genius standing in front of him now, Zhao An naturally had mixed feelings in his heart.

This kind of feeling is not jealousy, but it is just a little uncomfortable to see something that you want so hard, others have it easily without knowing it.

"Well, there are some problems with these keys. You can tell Mr. Feng later. But these are all you heard, and have nothing to do with me. I'll go first."

Zhao An packed up his emotions and prepared to leave.Teacher Feng has been away from the classroom for several minutes and should be back soon.I really wasn't careful enough, if it wasn't the boy in front of me who heard me playing the piano, but Mr. Feng, I wouldn't be able to tell.

Hearing Zhao An's words, the boy didn't ask why Zhao An said it had nothing to do with him, but said: "Ms. Feng will go home already, she asked me to help her close the classroom door."

Already go back?That's fine, don't worry about meeting Mr. Feng, go home quickly.

Zhao An put his schoolbag on his back, left the music classroom and walked towards the school gate.

The boy behind him quickly closed the key cover, turned off the lights, locked the door, also carrying his schoolbag, and rushed towards Zhao An. He appeared in front of Zhao An and said to Zhao An: "My name is Ji Jiashu, Can you tell me your name? And can you teach me how to play the piano!"

At this time, the orange-red sunset just spilled into the corridor, and the house in the 90s still had stone-blue floors, without any tiles, and everything looked very simple.

But the simplest thing is the smile on Ji Jiashu's face, eager and sincere, it is the childhood that Zhao An never had.

The author has something to say: [1] Absolute pitch sounds very secondary and mysterious, but it is a real talent.Many European and American countries pay great attention to the cultivation of music in this aspect.

I was wondering whether I would like to share some basic music theory knowledge with you. Although I haven’t touched an instrument for a long time, I always feel that I am very lucky to be able to learn an instrument when I was young.

But also because I haven't touched a musical instrument for a long time, a lot of music theory knowledge is a bit vague, please correct me if I am wrong.
