Chapter 239 Night

The "Piano Song of the Night" series has more than 40 works, but the fifth one is the most widely circulated among music fans.

Of course, the reason why "Piano Music at Night" became popular has a lot to do with its background music in the film "If You Are the One" by the famous mainland director Feng Dagang, but the most fundamental thing is that this song has a simple and beautiful melody, a quiet and peaceful artistic conception. For modern urban people with a tight rhythm of life and a lot of pressure, this kind of "Chicken Soup of the Heart" music is especially popular among them.

Toroevsky sat in front of the piano, removed the score of the "Revolutionary Etude" that he had just played, and replaced it with the song "Piano of the Night".

In fact, the score of "Revolutionary Etudes" is completely a decoration. Knowing that Tang Hong likes Toroevsky, he has already played this etude very well, and even remembered every mark on the score clearly.

However, "Piano Music of the Night" is different. Toroevsky can be said to be a "standard" piano teacher. The reason why he puts quotes on the two words "standard" is to emphasize the attribute of his piano teacher. It can be said that in addition to the rating repertoire and some works that he thinks are very difficult and famous, and can be "breaking" when playing it, he really puts his efforts into playing, like some other works, basically he doesn't play it. Not to mention purely popular pianos like this. In Toroevsky's view, he is a pianist from a prestigious school, and playing such "unreasonable" things is simply a denial and insult to his own level.

But he didn't expect that Tang Hong actually remembered listening to this song today. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he knew, he would just play it twice in advance.

However, the moment he saw the music score, all the worries in his heart disappeared.

Without it, this song is really too simple!

Compared to the large sonatas, concertos and suites he played, this song "Piano Music at Night" is simple like a primary school topic in the eyes of high school students. Even if he saw the score for the first time, he could still play it smoothly.

However, to be on the safe side, Toroevsky read the score carefully.

a minor. The main melody of the right hand is composed of a short arpeggio. The ten-degree arpeggio and the third-degree scale of the left hand is a very simple accompaniment. There are only four chord changes in the whole song, which is really simple. Yes. There are two music themes in total. There are three places for the change. It is here, and there are also here...

Toroevsky read the score quickly, and at the same time marking the points he thought were important with a pencil. He didn't have to worry about affecting Chu Yang's performance. Judging from the previous "Revolutionary Etudes", Tang Hong prepared two sets of music scores for this exam. Moreover, even if Chu Yang wanted to see the music scores he marked, he might not be willing, after all, this is one of the advantages.

In more than a minute, Toroevsky finished reading the score, then turned around and nodded at Tang Hong with a smile, indicating that he was going to play.

The hands were gently pressed on the key surface, touched the key, and raised it. With Toroevsky's gentle movements, a tinging sound of the piano drifted away from the stage.

Unlike the excitement and irritability of "Revolutionary Etudes" just now, together with this "Piano Song of the Night", the small performing room on the third floor was suddenly filled with a romantic and freehand atmosphere.

Although in terms of difficulty, this song "The Piano Song of the Night" is far from being compared with "Revolutionary Etudes", from the perspective of artistic conception and style alone, this song is undoubtedly more suitable for the current environment.

Tang Hong even poured himself a glass of red wine and sipped it gracefully, with a very comfortable expression.

Toroevsky swept Tang Hong's movements from the corner of his eyes and couldn't help but feel happy. Tang Hong's expression was very familiar. Usually, he would accompany him with red wine when he heard the music he liked. When he thought of this, his performance became more delicate and devoted.

Toroevsky's performance is a romantic freehand technique that does not strictly follow the rhythm of the original song, but adopts elastic rhythms similar to Chopin's nocturne series. This rhythm, which is widely used in Chopin's nocturne series, comes from improvisation or singing among Polish folks, is a natural ideology of human beings' reflection of the elastic factors in rhythm. This technique is applied to lyrical romantic pianos, and its effect is very obvious in enhancing the expressiveness of the song.

Toroevsky's arms were undulating and stretching, and his face looked extremely intoxicated and devoted. Under his performance, the song "Piano Song of the Night" presented an extremely romantic feeling.

His fingers fluttered and stretched. Every time he touched the key, it was as delicate as stroking his lover's skin. This extremely simple work of playing skills and structure gave Toroevsky a lot of room for his performance. He showed his understanding of music and enjoyed it. His body made big moves from time to time, sometimes leaning against the keys, sometimes tilting his ears as if listening, and his expression on his face was sometimes smiling, sometimes focusing, and sometimes with a hint of sadness, fully exerting the style of the romantic piano.

Chu Yang sat quietly on the booth not far from the stage, enjoying Toroevsky's performance. He had never played "Piano Music of the Night", but he had also heard it several times. Popular pianos like this can be heard on many occasions. At least Chu Yang had heard this song more than once when shopping in Qinhai's shopping malls and supermarkets.

Toroevsky's performance can be said to be very changed compared to the original work. He also studied this "elastic rhythm" when playing Chopin's "Nocturnal" and naturally recognized it. It is difficult for him to draw conclusions whether using this method to deal with the romantic piano like "Piano Music of the Night", but at least to the present, this way of playing sounds very good at first.

But with his keen intuition about music, Chu Yang always felt that this way of playing was not the best. Although he also played the soft, romantic and free "night", his intuition told Chu Yang that the true artistic conception of this song should not be like this.

Chu Yang, who has exhausted all the basic piano skills, now when he looks at a song, his position is naturally much higher than before. He usually directly thinks about the artistic image of the song, and then considers how to highlight this artistic image through performance.

All performance skills serve the music itself. Many performing masters have this understanding, but if you want to truly reach this level, the primary prerequisite is that you must first master "all performance skills".

Listening to Toroevsky's performance, Chu Yang saved it carefully. His eyes accidentally swept over Tang Hong not far away. The latter was holding a glass of red wine in a leisurely manner and slowly savoring it. The whole person perfectly merged with the music, making this elegant and exquisite little concert hall more like a bar full of romantic feelings.

Bar? The word "王子" flashed in Chu Yang's mind. His eyes lit up and immediately grabbed the feeling in his heart just now.

That's right! Toroevsky's performance is like a bourgeois environment like a bar and a teahouse. The "night" reflected in this song is obviously more appropriate to describe it as "nightlife". However, if "The Piano Music of the Night" describes the scene of nightlife, it is obviously incomplete.

"What is night like?" Chu Yang closed his eyes gently and outlined the night color he had imagined in his heart.

The night is as cool as water, the jade rabbit rises eastward, the waves are rippling for thousands of miles, where is the spring river without the moonlight, the moonlight on the Danube River, the vast and mysterious starry sky under the night by the sea...

Many night scenes flashed in Chu Yang's mind instantly, including classical, romantic, still, and flowing, moonlight, starry sky, cool night wind, and all the quiet coldness...

Yes, that's the night, clean, pure night.

A wisp of tail sound dissipated in the air. Toroevsky's performance was over. He stood up gracefully from the piano, bowed to Tang Hong before returning to his chair. From beginning to end, he did not look at Chu Yang.

Chu Yang naturally would not care about Toroevsky's attitude, and even his eyes did not pay attention to Toroevsky who left the seat in front of the piano and walked off the stage. At this moment, what he imagined in his mind was the artistic conception of the night that he had just realized.

He walked gently to the piano, Chu Yang sat down and was silent for a while. When he was about to play, he seemed to feel something was wrong. He turned his body to look at Tang Hong and said, "Mr. Tang, can you ask the staff to turn off the lights here?"

Hearing Chu Yang's request, Tang Hong was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Chu Yang meant.

He gently clapped his hands outside the door, called a waiter, and after giving a few instructions, the waiter nodded and walked down quickly.

After a while, the lights in this small concert hall suddenly dimmed, and then a beam of dark blue light chase light hit the piano, completely covering Chu Yang and the piano.

"Well, this kind of artistic conception is a bit right, but it is still not enough. If it is under the real moonlight, the night is as cool as water and the summer insects are muttering, that is wonderful!" Chu Yang thought to himself, but he also knew that he could not ask for too much. After looking at the score in front of the piano, the expression on his face was even calmer than Toroevsky.

With his accumulation of music theory knowledge, such difficult music can be played. The music scores provided by Tang Hong are all genuine products in hardcover, with moderate notes and clear and exquisite printing, which looks like a pleasure.

Calm down and savor the artistic conception of the night that I just realized, Chu Yang's hands gently climbed up the keys. (To be continued...)
