”Actually, from the perspective of playing techniques, although Senior Sister has already worked very hard, there are still quite a few flaws. Especially at the end of the music, whether it is the rhythm or strength, there are still varying degrees of mistakes.” Duan Lingfei said in an astonishing tone.
”Actually, Senior Sister, this cannot be blamed on you. After all, the Third Piano Concerto is a very taxing song. Even Rahmaninov himself lamented that it would be unbearable after playing it, not to mention you, Senior Sister.”
Before he could finish his words, he heard Lu Ting praising him: ”Little Duan is right, Xi Yue, when you were dealing with the final part of this song, you did make quite a few small mistakes, and this has a lot to do with your physical strength being insufficient.”
If Duan Lingfei was the only one who said this, Lin Xiyue might not necessarily believe him. But if even Teacher Lu said that, then there must be a real problem if she played it herself.
”Teacher, how do you think I should solve this problem?” Lin Xiyue asked humbly.
”That's why I told you to train harder!” Lu Min smiled and said, ”Playing some fast-paced, emotional tune will consume a lot of energy, so without an outstanding body, you won't be able to become an outstanding pianist.”
”Yes, Teacher, I understand.” Lin Xiyue nodded: ”I will definitely strengthen my body to train.”
”But, the time for the talent show is next week, is there still time to exercise now?” Duan Lingfei suddenly interrupted.
”This …” Lu Min hesitated for a moment and said, ”I'm afraid it's too late. Little Duan, do you have any suggestions?”
Hearing Lu Min's words, Lin Xiyue also looked towards Duan Lingfei, a trace of anticipation in his eyes.
Seeing Lin Xiyue's eyes that were like black grapes staring at himself, Duan Lingfei felt a sense of pride from his chest, and said: ”Actually, for this time's talent show, what you need to do is not delve into playing, but change your way of thinking!”
”Change the way you think? ”What do you mean?” Lin Xiyue was a little doubtful.
”It's very simple. First of all, I don't think you should choose the third piano concerto.” Seeing that Lin Xiyue wanted to interrupt, Duan Lingfei shook his hand, signalling for her to wait.
This piece of music is a world-famous piece, and it is also recognized as one of the hardest piano pieces in the world. Senior Sister, I'm afraid that you chose to play this piece to challenge yourself, and also to show your talent to the judges and the audience.
Hearing Duan Lingfei say this, Lin Xiyue subconsciously nodded her head. She did indeed think this way, if she were to play a normal tune that everyone could play, it would be impossible to display her piano prodigy's abilities!
”But Senior Sister, did you think that you would be participating in a talent show? This kind of program values popularity the most. If you play such a complex piano piece, how many of the audience will understand? ”How many people know how difficult it is to play?”
”This …” Lin Xiyue was a little speechless. It wasn't that she didn't understand the concept of being high and low, but that Lu Min also seemed to be deep in thought.
To the ordinary audience, ”Third Piano Concerto” was indeed not a song that everyone was familiar with. If one was not a professional musician, it would be impossible to know the difficulty of this song.
”For the audience, what they want to see the most is a gimmick, a handsome man and a beautiful woman. It's the dazzling lighting effect and the story of the performance. The judges and organizers will definitely put the popularity of the contestant as well as the level of affection of the audience at the top of their minds.”
This was the logic behind the phrase ”professionals look at the skills, outsiders look at the fun”! As he said till here, Duan Lingfei paused, then said solemnly: ”So, Senior Sister choosing the Third Piano Concerto, is purely due to effort!”
