Chapter 179 Wonderful Exercises

With his hands lightly placed on the keys, Yamaha's somewhat soft keys are too easy for Liu Yufan to play.

As usual, ten minutes of Hannong practice, scales and arpeggios are unmovable. During the craziest period, Liu Yufan practiced these things for no less than two hours a day. He spent two hours practicing these boring and boring things, and he could not persist without great perseverance. The reason why he was able to reach such a high level in just a few years is that Liu Yufan is not a "genius" as some people say. In fact, in this, it is more about the efforts he has put in more than twice as much as others' efforts.

Everyone here is familiar with Hanon's etude. It can be said that every student who majors in piano studies cannot avoid this book. It can even accompany you to the highest level from the beginning, and you will still find it useful.

Hanon is finger gymnastics.

However, Liu Yufan gave it more artistic.

As they watched their fingers fly over the keys, the fine and uniform sound of the piano was like extremely uniform pearls, each of which was so delicate and smooth, with the same size, and connected together. The practice that seemed boring to them suddenly became beautiful as if it had a magical luster.

Liu Yufan's hand is not big, it can only be considered moderate. However, when playing Hanong, his hand shape is very beautiful. His fingers slightly raised from the palm joints to form a stable support. Every time he lifted his finger, it was quick and light, and the agile feeling looked particularly pleasing to the eye. Moreover, the fingers seemed to move rapidly, but the palm part seemed as steady as the rock. Except for moving left and right as the wrist, there was no unnecessary movement. Such a contrast of movement and stillness gave people an extremely strong visual impact.

Liu Yufan's hand shape at this moment is the standard posture of the "Academic School". The "Academic School" is a faction in piano teaching, which is opposite to the "Normal School". The "Academic School" pays special attention to the standard of playing posture, and every detail from the sitting posture to the hand shape has very specific regulations. Because of this, at the beginning, the progress of the "Academic School" students often slower than the "Normal School" because they have to spend a lot of time and energy to "rule". However, in the later stage, the progress of the academic school is faster than that of the normal school. Because the foundation laid is particularly solid, in the later stage, the academic school will hardly encounter technical difficulties, because their previous practice has made up for this defect well.

Liu Yufan is in this situation at this moment. The correct technical movements make his performance relaxed and freehand, and everything looks so comfortable. Even the skills that seem difficult for outsiders are as relaxed as breathing under his hands. It can be said that Liu Yufan now has no shortcomings or blind spots in piano playing techniques. What he needs to do next is to enrich his stage performance experience and improve his "artistic cultivation" outside of the piano, so that his music has a maximum "soul", rather than a bunch of meaningless technical accumulation.

In five minutes, Liu Yufan had already played twenty pieces. This speed was absolutely amazing. At least the "fans" who watched him play below were all so wide that they opened their mouths. In their opinion, Liu Yufan played too fast, and what was against the will of heaven was that at such a fast speed, he could not hear the rush at all, and was still so relaxed and freehand. They were all practicing piano, so naturally they knew how difficult it was behind this move.

Fast is very simple, but the hard thing is that it can be controlled while being fast.

Of course, the reason why Liu Yufan can do this is because it is still not his extreme speed.

How fast is his limit speed? He hasn't tried it, nor has he any objection. Because when he could easily play the fastest speed "super rapid" in the piano, Mo Yan told him that in terms of speed, he no longer had to pursue more. What he had to practice next is control.

Yes, control, control of speed. Be fast and fast, slow and slow. In every speed, the song can be well expressed.

The following scales and arpeggios, the gorgeous skills Liu Yufan showed once again stimulated the "fragile" hearts of the students in the audience.

The ten fingers flew over the keys, and the scales and chords in major and minor keys were like a hand-held, and there was no need to think about it at all. Seeing Liu Yufan not even looking at the keys, these people were still deeply shocked even though it was not the first time they watched them.

"Awesome man, how many years will it take to practice to reach this level?"

"Look at the hands on the keys, they are almost catching up with the shadowless hand. How did he practice so quickly?"

...

While watching, these people were amazed. This is not the first time many people have watched Liu Yufan practice the piano, but every time they watch, they will be stimulated and surprised. It is really Liu Yufan's performance, which is too much beyond them. The level he showed is enough to make them unable to see the peak even if they look up.

An Quantao is closest to Liu Yufan. His eyes stared at the hands on the piano keys, for fear of missing every detail. Among these people, if anyone who saw Liu Yufan gained the most when practicing the piano was the most, he would probably be counted as him. In terms of technical gap, An Quantao and Liu Yufan are the smallest. Of course, this smallest is compared to other students. An Quantao knew in his heart that the distance between him and Liu Yufan was still a huge gap.

However, at least, he could see some of the "tracks" in Liu Yufan's performance, because he received the most formal piano education, and in theory, many places are the same. Although he cannot fully understand Liu Yufan's skills, as long as he can confirm a small part, it will be a great gain.

This was the first time Li Li and Meng Jingjing watched Liu Yufan practice the piano. At this moment, the eyes of the two of them seemed to be sucked by the piano keys, staring firmly there. Looking at Liu Yufan's magical hands, the eyes of both of them were full of envy. Li Li even thought maliciously that it would be great if she could take those hands to her.

C major, a minor, d major, b minor... There are a total of twenty-four relationships, big and small keys, passing by almost no pauses. Except for the different pitches, people can't even hear their differences.

But you should know that from the simplest C major to the most variable notes, the difficulty cannot be calculated by reason. One is that you only need to play all the white keys, and the other is that you have to take care of all the black keys. However, under Liu Yufan, people cannot hear the difference between the two, both speed and strength are exactly the same. This skill is simply amazing.

And the following chords of Big Seven and Little Seven, as well as various rare arpeggios and scales, these people simply couldn't understand that level. They couldn't get in touch with that level at all.

The ten-minute exercises are like a vivid music to listen to by the people below. It is extremely satisfying to listen to them. It is obvious that Liu Yufan’s skills can be played so vividly.

Ten minutes later, Liu Yufan's hands were already "hot". Only then did he really prepare to play the music.

These guys who watched the fun knew that the main show was coming, and they all raised their ears and listened.

Peng Tielin also came to the classroom at some point. However, he walked in through the back door. Only a few people saw him, but he shook his hand and signaled that these people didn't have to speak, but he found a seat and sat down.

Liu Yufan's left hand sank slightly, and a low bass octave sounded, while at the same time, his right hand played a triple-toning sound like flowing water in the midrange area.

"What kind of song is this?" Some students who had never heard of it showed a look of confusion on their faces.

However, more people showed excitement on their faces.

"Beethoven's 14th Piano Sonata in C minor!" When Liu Yufan played the first chord, An Quantao recognized this song. This is Beethoven's very famous piano sonata. In the piano world, it has a very well-known and beautiful name - "Moonlight"

Most of the students here have received piano education for several years. Even though most of them have not played these songs, for music appreciation, a considerable number of people have listened to this "Moonlight" sonata. However, most of them have enjoyed it through recording and video. For example, it is the first time to see a real person playing in front of you at this moment.

An Quantao closed his eyes and listened quietly to this slow movement. In the eyes of those who don’t understand this song, the slow movement of this first paragraph is a bit boring, but only people like him who have received formal piano education understand how many places there are to eat kung fu in this seemingly simple and plain first movement!

Not to mention the ever-changing bass chords and the "second chord" hidden between the left and right hands, the three-part strength relationship alone is enough to make a rough-looking player afraid. An Quantao still remembers that when he learned this song, Teacher Yin pointed out how many mistakes he made for himself at the slow pace of the first movement!

"It's so perfect. I can't hear anything wrong!" Feeling the sound of the piano that seemed to be flawless, An Quanta looked enjoyable.

The sound of the piano like water flowed in the classroom, and the students who had impatient expressions on their faces gradually became quiet. This music was like magic, which could calm the mind.

"It's the Moonlight Sonata. How long has it been since I heard this song?" Listening to Liu Yufan's piano sound, Peng Tielin couldn't help but remember the time he was in the Normal College, and the fat, curly music teacher in front of the piano.
