Chapter 21: Indeed Talented
Bai Yuan seems to be calm and easy-going, but he is very opinionated.
Mr. Jiang is a well-known calligrapher and painter. All of his students are famous figures in the calligraphy and painting circles.
Now that he is old, he no longer accepts disciples, so others don't have the opportunity to become his disciples.
As a result, when he wanted to teach his granddaughter, she turned around and went directly to the sink to wash her hands.
Although he was depressed, Mr. Jiang also knew that everything depends on fate.
No matter how talented you are, you can't force it.
Time and life.
So he followed her.
Bai Yuan doesn't like painting, and naturally doesn't like dancing either.
Those children who have learned for a few years have a solid foundation, so the dance they perform is naturally beautiful.
But children of her age are not so particular, and because Bai Yuan has been in contact with Song Yanming for a long time, she has also developed some mysophobia.
In her opinion, how could a group of little kids rolling around on the ground and crying with snot and tears while stretching their legs and rubbing their muscles be clean?
When Grandma Bai saw her standing in front of the glass window with her eyebrows almost wrinkled, she knew that her granddaughter had no dream of becoming a dancer.
Finally, after thinking about it, I decided to learn a musical instrument.
The musical instrument will never get dirty.
It just so happened that the Bai family had a piano, which was used by Bai Yuan’s father when he was a child.
It's a pity that the brat was not very active and only played the guitar a few times when he was chasing Bai Yuan's mother.
After that, I never touched it and it just sat on the third floor gathering dust.
Grandma Bai asked the servants to clean the house and asked someone to tune the piano.
The tuning master was shocked when he arrived.
It is such a waste of resources to have a Steinway grand piano worth millions just gathering dust over the years!
Listening to it again, the pitch is so good that it can reach the moon if it has wings.
His expression changed constantly during the entire tuning process, and he covered his chest from time to time. It was so painful.
After he adjusted the pitch, he tried playing a few classic pieces of classical music.
Pop music cannot feel the difference in timbre between pianos of different qualities during the audition process.
Therefore, we usually use the classic masterpieces of pianists such as Bach, Listan, and Rachmaninoff for audition.
You can also more intuitively feel the charm of money, uh no, the charm of top-level pianos.
The best quality products have deep bass, full mid-range and clear treble.
Under different speeds and strengths, the levels of light, dark, hard and soft are distinct and rich.
At the end of the song, the tuning master felt that his whole self had been sublimated. It turned out that a good piano can perfectly express the master's work.
Hearing the beautiful piano sound, Bai Yuan entered the piano room under the guidance of Grandma Bai.
The tuning master quickly gave up his seat and silently observed the two of them. He saw a little girl who was only two or three years old sitting on the piano stool with the help of a servant, and she began to feel sore again.
As expected, art is created by money. The wealthier the family, the earlier the children can be exposed to art and develop their artistic talents.
While ordinary families are still using electronic keyboards to cultivate their interests, middle-class families are using upright pianos and electric pianos to practice their repertoire.
These young ladies and young men from top wealthy families are the chosen ones standing at the top of the pyramid.
When they were only two or three years old, they were already being taught the instruments that would be used in large concert halls or even golden palaces.
The gap brought about by this primitive accumulation has become an insurmountable chasm between mediocrity and geniuses.
Bai Yuan didn't know what the other person was thinking.
She adjusted her sitting position on the piano stool and made sure the keys of the piano in front of her were clean before she raised her hands and pressed on the keys.
After pressing a few keys, I found that I couldn't press the keys farther away.
So he stood up again, walked to the far left, stood on tiptoe and raised his arm, and pressed the keys from the first key to the last treble key slowly and orderly.
Then he went back to the bass area and pressed out a series of stumbling mid-bass sounds.
At first the tuning master thought that the young lady was just pressing the keys randomly for fun, but after repeating it several times, he felt that this untuneable scale was somewhat familiar.
After Bai Yuan tried it six or seven times, the chord composed of three scales suddenly entered the tuner's mind like a flash of inspiration.
Because the little girl's hands are small, she can only focus on two keys at most when there are places where multiple keys need to be pressed at the same time.
In addition, she was not playing the main melody, but the chords in the bass area, which made the overall sound a little unrecognizable, so he didn't hear it at first.
After trying it many times, I became more proficient in the technique and could slowly hear some sense of rhythm.
It was the last piece he played during the audition, a short chord section in Chopin's B flat minor.
really?
The tuning master was stunned.
It is actually difficult to tell which song it is just by listening to the chords. He only made this association because he had just played it before.
Besides, this part of the chord is not difficult, if you just press it by chance, it is not...
It couldn't be that she just pressed all the keys to test the sound, right?
When he wanted to listen carefully to whether this was a coincidence or not, Bai Yuan had already withdrew his hand, moved his arm that had been raised for a long time and his slightly sore wrist, and slowly walked towards him.
The little girl, about two or three years old, tilted her face, which still had baby fat, and nodded to the tuning master who had been busy all afternoon.
"Hard."
Then he was carried downstairs by the servant to eat some fruits.
The nearly 40-year-old tuning master was left with a look of shock and disheveled hair.
Grandma Bai was not in a hurry to leave. Seeing that her granddaughter was quite interested in the piano, she felt even better.
Although the old Bai family is wealthy and powerful, there has never been any musical talent in their genes.
Otherwise, a piano worth several million dollars would not be left in the room gathering dust for several years.
Her third child used to play the piano as well as swinging a chopping board or a sledgehammer.
With his two tigers, which shocked the world and made the ghosts cry, he managed to persuade the third son's wife to come and teach him piano for two weeks.
Now that such a good bamboo shoot has grown out of a bunch of bad bamboos, they are naturally very happy.
Grandma Bai smiled and asked the tuner: "Master, what do you think of my granddaughter's performance? Does she have musical talent?"
The tuning master nodded and praised sincerely: "Ms. Bai has a good sense of voice. She is a promising talent."
When Grandma Bai heard this, she became even happier. Not only did she give the master a big red envelope, she also escorted him all the way to the door.
That evening, Grandma Bai told the third son's wife about this matter, saying that such a good talent should not be wasted, and discussed finding a good teacher for Bai Yuan and training him well.
Jiang Zhi also laughed when she heard it, and after a little thought she made a decision.
"Mom, leave this matter to me. I will make sure to find the best teacher for Xiao Yuan."
"Do you still remember the Jiang family's old friend, my best friend who graduated from the music school?"
"...Yes, it's Wu Shujie. She studied violin, but her husband Wen Zhe's family are all piano masters..."
"It just so happens that their band's tour ends this month, and they will be able to return home at the end of this month or the beginning of this month..."
"She has a son. What a coincidence. She said that if I had a daughter, she would have arranged a marriage for them..."
