Chapter 69 Change the map! Change the school!
Bai Yuan left the Jingli compound and returned to the Jiang family carrying the piano case.
Ever since she entered elementary school, she would spend half of her time during every winter and summer vacation going to the Wen family to learn piano.
The Wen couple are not always at home.
Most of the time I travel around the country.
In the last month of the winter and summer vacations, I flew to all parts of the world and attended various concerts upon invitation.
Bai Yuan's piano skills improved day by day.
Although Wu Shujie is a well-known violinist, she is still a little short of being a teacher who can truly impart skills.
The violin is more difficult to learn and master than other musical instruments.
It is common in the industry to still be sawing wood after three years of piano learning.
Some people have been practicing piano for seven years and barely get started, while others have been learning piano for ten years and still have not achieved success.
Bai Yuan is extremely talented.
Although when I first started I couldn't compare to those real geniuses who grew up listening to prenatal music since their mother's womb.
But he has already surpassed most people and joined the small group at the forefront.
But sometimes, talent is not everything.
In this circle, only those who were born into a musical family, have beautiful music in their ears all the time, get up early and go to bed late, day and night, are truly serious and hardworking, practice diligently, and are gifted can stand at the top position.
Talent determines how high a person’s starting point is, but hard work is the fundamental factor that widens the gap between the two.
If placed among a group of ordinary people, Bai Yuan is undoubtedly an outstanding violin genius.
But he is truly among a group of talented, gifted, and hardworking geniuses.
Everyone starts from the same point.
The innate talent doesn't seem to be that important.
Reality is cruel and fair.
If you only practice basic skills for two hours a day, you can easily put others under your feet.
Then what does the hard work of others, twelve hours a day, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, rain or shine, count for?
Bai Yuan knew this, so he didn't force it.
She could certainly focus on piano skills like others, and reach the top at a very fast speed with her excellent learning ability.
But if we put all our time and energy into accomplishing one thing, it would be too boring.
Violin was never her first choice, not even a hobby.
She just gave up the easier piano and picked up the bow, practicing for seven years because she thought it was difficult and challenging.
If there had been an instrument more difficult than the violin, she would most likely have made a different choice.
Wu Shujie is a person who loves talents, and it is a pity to see her wasting her talent.
She also knew that Bai Yuan cared more about superb skills than the emotional expression in his piano playing.
It’s a pity that my teaching ability is limited and I can’t continue to satisfy her desire to learn.
So after finishing piano practice this summer, he suggested that Bai Yuan go to study at the junior high school department of Jingli International Music Conservatory where Wen Yiche was working.
I hope that through this environment full of music exchange, I can slightly change Bai Yuan’s views and attitudes towards music.
Out of politeness, Bai Yuan did not refuse directly, but just said he would consider it.
Wu Shujie asked Wen Yiche to bring Bai Yuan to visit her mentor Du Qiuyun.
Du Qiuyun is already over sixty years old. Although he has a head full of white hair, he does not look old. He has an elegance and intelligence that is unique to people who have been immersed in art for many years.
Under Wu Shujie's careful guidance, Bai Yuan has solid basic skills, but is slightly lacking in emotional aspects.
Even though she was used to seeing all kinds of talented young people, after listening to Bai Yuan's performance, Du Qiuyun felt that she was a piece of beautiful jade. It would be a pity to leave her aside and gather dust if she was not carefully carved.
He then proposed to take her in as his last disciple.
Bai Yuan and she got along well in their chat. Du Qiuyun had unique and mature insights into the emotional aspects of playing.
For musicians, technical skills are one aspect, and life experience is another. The two complement and achieve each other.
Technology is the carrier of emotions.
If you have a thorough understanding of the emotions, you will be able to resonate with the composer across time, and if you can then add your own unique insights and emotions to it, it will be a truly rare and good piece of music.
Otherwise, no matter how advanced the technology is, it is just a replica of another person's experience and experience, which is what current technology can do through AI and electronic synthesis technology.
It is also because of this that true art will not be so easily replaced by machines.
Here, everyone is unique and has his or her own unique shining points.
She also told Bai Yuan that music is an art that cannot be preserved, and only when heard live can it be heard in its most original and perfect state.
Even though the radio equipment on the market today is already perfect, there is still a world of difference between the sound after recording and playing back and the live sound.
When you stand on the stage, the people in the audience, the sound reception of the walls in the theater, the classical decoration, and even the slightly dry and rustic smell in the air are all part of a performance.
Your mood will change depending on the audience's reaction, which will also be integrated with the music in the most intuitive way.
Each performance is unique, like a shooting star flashing across the night sky, or like fireworks blooming in the sky for just a few seconds.
Even if there is a second one, it may be just as dazzling, but it will not be as bright as the one we saw before.
Just like what the fans miss and empathize with is not the song, but that summer, that night, that starry sky, the people who listened to the song together, and that song.
On the way back, Bai Yuan carried the guitar case and walked side by side with Wen Yiche.
Wen Yiche was wearing a clean, slim-fitting white shirt with the top button fastened.
The cuffs were rolled up, revealing half of the wrist with elegant lines. The back of the hand showed blue veins, distinct joints, and slender fingers, like a carefully carved work of art.
The boy has a cold and aloof temperament, dignified and calm. At first glance, you can tell that he is a well-educated young man from a noble family. There is no sense of incongruity when he walks with Bai Yuan.
Seeing Bai Yuan saying nothing on the way, Wen Yi Che turned his head to look at her. As soon as their eyes met, the indifference in his eyes faded a little, like half-melted spring snow, soaked with a faint warmth.
"How are you thinking about it? Do you want to come?"
Bai Yuan was also touched, which subtly changed her views on the path of music.
At this moment, Wen Yi Che asked again and began to reconsider whether he should go to a school with a more musical atmosphere to study in junior high school.
After a moment, Bai Yuan nodded.
"Come."
Ignore the surprise and smile in Wen Yiche's eyes when he heard the exact answer.
Bai Yuan changed his violin case, and the silver feather pendant on it reflected a small ray of light.
