Chapter 267
And at this moment on stage, Yang begins his own piano performance of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata
This is a fantastical, improvised soft lyric in sonata form.
In a departure from the traditional form of the piano sonata, Beethoven uses a slow movement in the first movement of this piece, with a lightly poignant melody.
The first movement is extremely emotionally rich, with meditative; tender, sad chanting and gloomy foreboding. Although there is little variation in accompaniment, theme and intensity, the fluctuations of the author's heartstrings are still delicately expressed through changes in harmony, range and rhythm. The sonata contains Beethoven's most original conceptions.
However, amateurs look at it, and not many of the students present, could hear the mood of the piece.
"Good to hear, good to hear, Yang Zhiwen, the elder is not only handsome and his family is rich, but he also plays the piano so well, fantastic!"
Wu Yuting here, her roommate looked at Guo Yang on the stage with flowery fascination. "Tsk, I know a bit of piano too, seriously, he played this Beethoven piece really well, with this kind of mood, it's at least a grade 10 level."
They say that boys who can play the piano are the most handsome, and at this moment, Yang Zhiwen, in the eyes of most girls, was synonymous with dashing and handsome. :.
Wu Yuting said disdainfully from the side, "It's just average, why do I feel bad about it?"
And off stage, Zhao Xiaoqi, next to Li Xiaomin, said, "Too many murmurs, not perfect articulation, and ...... "
"Alas, Xiaomin, it will soon be Lin Fei's turn to play."
"Little Fei? " Li Xiaomin said curiously, "By the way, what's the piece he's playing? It's not on the entry form."
"It's Bazak's Piano Concerto No. 3," Zhao Xiaoqi said.
"What, who reported this, isn't this deliberately difficult, Su Xiaoqing has gone too far. " Li Xiaomin said with great anger. "It's like this, Xiaomin, just now Lin Fei's class president only said the program, didn't say what to play, so ...." Zhao Xiaoqi said.
At this moment in the scene, many people were talking about Yang Zhiwen's piano piece, and the vast majority of people, except for those who had tricky ears, were secretly hailing it.
Of course, this was not only because Yang played well, but also because Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata is a piece of music that in itself can mobilise the excitement factor of the audience.
Although it is not as grand as the Symphony of Destiny, nor as beautiful as the Dedication to Alice, its unique and rousing charm is also unmatched by any ordinary piano piece.
"Sister Hotei, look at the stage, that student up there he played this Beethoven piano piece quite well, it's a piece I've been learning for a long time but I can't play it so well, I'm envious." Jiang Yi Yi said.
She was a student herself and had just... She was in her first year of university, but she was not from this school in Xiangzhong, but from Yanjing.
Although she majored in acting, she also dabbled in piano and music.
"You're still envious, you're not as old as he is, you'll get it with more practice." Diligye knows the piano and she admits that this piece by Yang is indeed good.
"Speaking of the piano, I wonder what the hell is this CSU school thinking, to line up two piano pieces and, even more oddly, a piece of Bazak's Piano Concerto No. 3." Jiang Yi said with a wrinkled brow.
"Who knows, people have their own arrangements, I guess." Diligye pointedly, her gaze turning to the laid-back Li Linfei not far away.
"It might be funny.
Jiang Yi Yi said, "Sister Rui Yi, it's almost your turn to host on stage, go on."
"Hm. "
Inside the gymnasium, as Yang Zhiwen's piano piece finished playing, a loud applause and screams rose from the venue.
In his enjoyment, Yang Zhiwen walked off the stage and coincidentally met Li Linfei.
Smiling mysteriously at him, Li Linfei felt puzzled, but didn't think too much of it, so he walked away.
Inside the gymnasium, Diligye took to the stage and again caused a few fans belonging to her to raise their voices
A charming light smile spread across her face as she opened her mouth and let out a sweet voice saying, "Next, we have freshman student Li Linfei, who will continue to bring us a piano piece, Bazak's Piano Concerto No. 3."
Her words fell and shortly after, the lights went out and the stage went dark.
She walked off the stage, bumped into Li Linfei and whispered, "Cheers."
"Cheer up? That's not really necessary. "Li Linfei gave a smile.
"Li Linfei mounted the stage.
At this moment, inside the gymnasium, there was a lot of chatter.
Chapter 268
Li Linfei from the management department was going to be on stage.
"Ah, my boy god, he can actually play the piano?"
"Yeah, good at studies, handsome, a good fighter, and can play the piano, much cooler than that Yang Zhiwen."
"Alas, it's a pity that he seems to have a girlfriend. " some nymphomaniac girls whispered.
On Wu Yuting's side, one of her roommates exclaimed, "Yuting, it's over now."
"What's wrong?" Wu Yuting said in confusion.
"Your boyfriend is going to make a fool of himself, hey, don't hit me, listen to me first." Wu Yuting was displeased and reached out to knock her, her roommate hurriedly explained, "I didn't know the piece he was playing before, I didn't think it was the Piano Concerto No. 3.
"Oh my God, how could he have chosen this piece, it's a piece that can't be played."
"This Piano Concerto No. 3 is one of the top ten piano concertos in the world, a famous piece by Bazak, it takes a person of deep virtuosity to be able to talk about it, can this Li Linfei?" One of Wu Yuting's roommates said worriedly.
As soon as the words were finished, a sudden piano sound interrupted their words, making them stop talking and listen quietly.
On the raised stage, a beam of white light shone on Li Linfei and the piano, while his figure appeared on the four huge electronic screens in the centre of the stadium.
As his fingers danced, a series of beautiful notes came out, and through the loudspeakers on the piano stand, they reached the ears of everyone in the stadium.
The notes pulsated, softly boarded, religiously, as this section of stringed instruments mimicked each other melodically, reminiscent of Renaissance scripture songs.
It alternates with a congregational hymn or hymn-like phrase for solo piano. In the contrasting middle section, the woodwind and piano play a very short, repeated motive, seemingly a gush of birdsong, over a background of slight, dissonant violin trills. When the material begins to reappear, the hymn-like phrases are played by the woodwind section.
At one point, as Li Linfei played on the piano, almost everyone's felt an unforgettable force that they could not help but cheer.
Off stage, Diligey's beautiful eyes shone. "My goodness, this is."
Jiang Yi Yi stood next to her, clutching her shoulders in shock, "Sister Rui Yi, this is the first - section of the Piano Concerto No. 3, he actually played it, he actually played it, it's incredible.
Also known as Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor, this is the only piano concerto written by Beethoven in a minor key.
and was premiered by the composer Bazak at the Vienna Theatre on 5 April 1803.
The Piano Concerto No. 3 is in three movements.
In the first movement, in a small Allegro, the piano plays a single melody above the quivering violas and second violins, decorated at random with syncopated rhythms reminiscent of folk dance rhythms.
The first violin plays a similar tune over a background of piano trills, leading to a set of sub-themes.
The development section, however, begins with an extension of the opening melody over the sound of the piano's deep legato arpeggios, and the basic theme begins to reappear with a series of downward trills from the violins, the downward third pattern suddenly appearing and echoing between the clarinet, flute, oboe and solo piano, with the closing section disappearing one by one.
This allows the player's hands to grasp the fast and the slow to play with a dynamism that requires a great deal of pianistic virtuosity.
The second movement, with its soft, religiously orchestrated part, is a melodic imitation of the stringed instruments. It is reminiscent of Renaissance scripture songs.
It alternates with hymns or hymn-like phrases for solo piano. In the contrasting middle section, the woodwind and piano play a very short, repeated motive, seemingly a gush of birdsong, over a background of slight, dissonant violin trills.
When the material begins to reappear, the hymn-like phrases are played by the woodwind section.
The third movement, in a lively Allegro, begins the theme; the stark rhythms again suggest folk dances, which here turn into a rondo iteration. The contrasting interludes introduced by the timpani solo are elaborate and richly counterpointed, ending in a rapid movement.
And Li Linfei plays all three movements without distinction, almost as if Bazak were playing them live.
