Soon a few big men carried a piano to the stage, and at the same time brought a chair.
Xiao Bing sat down on the chair. The two hosts looked at Xiao Bing deeply. The female host asked in a low voice, "Are you really not going to change the song? It's not too late! "
Xiao Bing smiled slightly. The two shook their heads, looking quite regretful. At the same time, with some disdain for Xiao Bing, they walked to the bottom of the stage without saying a word. The two of them did not believe that Xiao Bing could play such a difficult song. It was even impossible for him to play even half of it.
Not to mention Xiao Bing, even they could barely play half of it. They could not play the rest, because the rhythm of this piano song was too difficult to grasp. There were too many changes in the whole piano song, and it was difficult for ordinary people to control.
Not only these two people, but everyone present who knew how to play the piano was waiting to see Xiao Bing make a fool of himself. Even the discussion of several music teachers was heard by many people. Many people were saying that those music teachers said that Maggie's brother was overestimating himself. Even professional music teachers could not play this piano song.
Some people began to look forward to Xiao Bing's performance, while others were ready to watch the fun. There were still more people who did not believe in Xiao Bing than those who believed that Xiao Bing could play well.
Maggie's good friend, Chichi, asked in a low voice, "Can your brother play the piano?"
"I think so." Maggie's tone was also not very sure. "I think there seems to be very few things in this world that he does not know, although I have never seen him play the piano."
Chichi's mother sighed and said, "I heard the whole venue talking. They said that the music teachers don't think highly of your brother. They said that this piano piece is too difficult to perform. Even a professional might not be able to do it. Your brother must want to bring glory to you, so he deliberately chose such a difficult one."
Maggie also thought so. On the one hand, she was very happy. Although Brother Bing did not want to go before, when he stood on the stage, he still wanted to help me show off. On the other hand, Maggie was a little worried. The whole venue was talking about it and waiting to see the fun. Even the professional music teacher said it was too difficult. Could Brother Bing do it?
Teacher Li Hongmin stood up at this time. She sat in the front row of the class, and Maggie sat in the third row. She came over and whispered, "Maggie, how is your brother's piano attainment? He is your parent, so he also represents our class. In this stage, a total of three parents are invited to perform on the stage. It is equivalent to a one in a thousand chance that your brother can perform on the stage. If his performance is good, it will naturally bring glory to our class … "
Li Hongmin didn't finish her words. If she messed up, then the class that Li Hongmin taught would also be disgraced.
"I think my brother will be fine!" Maggie said resolutely. No matter what, she now had to stand on Xiao Bing's side. After all, Xiao Bing went on the stage for her. Now he had to suffer the ridicule and suspicion of thousands of teachers, students, and parents. She must firmly stand by Xiao Bing's side. Even if the performance was bad, she must let Xiao Bing know that she stood with him. No matter what, she was willing to accompany him to bear it!
Seeing so many people did not believe in Xiao Bing, laughed at Xiao Bing, and doubted Xiao Bing, Maggie's heart was suddenly filled with anger. She was angry for Xiao Bing.
Xiao Bing could also hear the noise and doubts from the audience, but he didn't seem to mind it at all. He just sat there calmly and put his hands on the piano keys. Then he heard two notes being played. With these two notes, the audience suddenly became quiet.
When an expert played, it was obvious whether he was good or not.
At the beginning, Xiao Bing's rhythm was like lively allegro, and immediately attracted everyone's attention. Then he played the first variation of Paganini's Rhapsody on a Theme. The first variation was relatively simple. Normally, Paganini's Rhapsody on a Theme was not only a piano piece, but also the cooperation of violin, flute, and other instruments. It was simply impossible to play a perfect Paganini's Rhapsody on a Theme only with the piano. In fact, even if there was a band, it would be difficult to do it, unless it was the world's top band.
There were a total of 24 variations of Paganini's Rhapsody on a Theme. When Xiao Bing played the third variation, the rhythm suddenly became more lively. The change in the rhythm seemed not to be big, but the skills needed to be mastered could only be achieved by the real top piano masters. All the music teachers immediately became focused. From the first four variations, it could be seen that Xiao Bing indeed had a very good piano skill, at least not weaker than the music teachers.
The fifth and sixth variations were relatively simple, but the speed of the seventh variation began to slow down. It slowed down to a medium speed, like a medium allegro. Most importantly, the connection between each variation was extremely difficult. The music teachers of this school had studied Paganini's Rhapsody on a Theme before. Among them, the music teacher with the highest attainment in the piano could only reach the tenth variation at most. It was basically more difficult to continue smoothly after that. That piano teacher had participated in the provincial piano competition and won second place. He could also be ranked in the top 30 in the country, so his attainment in the piano could be seen clearly.
Xiao Bing soon smoothly played the eighth variation, the ninth variation … When he was about to play the tenth variation, all the music teachers widened their eyes, waiting to see if Xiao Bing could smoothly pass through the ninth variation.
Every variation in Paganini's Rhapsody on a Theme had subtle changes, and each variation had its own difficulty, but the most difficult was between the third variation and the fourth variation, between the sixth variation and the seventh variation, and between the ninth variation and the tenth variation. After that, almost every variation had a great change, and the difficulty increased accordingly. That was to say, although this piano music was very difficult from the beginning, it really entered the level that even professional pianists could not easily control from the ninth variation onwards.
At the beginning of the ninth variation, the piano music entered a new realm, sometimes elegant, sometimes light, sometimes lively and humorous, sometimes free and unrestrained, all the way to the peak of magnificence, from beginning to end, people's hearts were immersed in it from beginning to end, as if immersed in an ocean of joy, a free and unrestrained paradise.
During the first nine changes, everyone only felt relatively cheerful and relaxed. It was as if their hearts were being led to relax. But when it came to the tenth change, it finally changed completely. Images began to appear in front of everyone's eyes. They seemed to be in a happy kingdom. People began to appear around them one after another. These people sang and danced, and they also danced along with them.
The eleventh variation was one variation, the twelfth variation was another …
The further it went, the more immersed everyone became, and even some people's bodies could not help but sway slightly.
The further it went, the more shocked the music teachers became. Gradually, they could no longer care about being shocked, and were completely immersed in this relaxed and unrestrained piano music.
When the piano music finally ended with a free, cheerful, and gorgeous rhythm, the whole venue was still silent. It was not until Xiao Bing stood up and bowed deeply to the audience that everyone broke away from the picture, one by one, stood up and applauded. Whether it was teachers, students, or parents, they all stood up, as if they could not express the excitement in their hearts if they did not do so.
Xiao Bing smiled and slowly walked down the stage. Suddenly, a female music teacher in her thirties ran to the stage, held a microphone and shouted at Xiao Bing's back, "Sir, what's your name?"
Xiao Bing did not stop, but responded with a loud laugh, "I'm Maggie's brother."
Seeing that Xiao Bing did not answer directly, the person continued to ask, "Even some of the top pianists in the country can't play this piano music to the twenty-fourth variation. May I ask how you did it? Are you a piano master in the country? "
Xiao Bing smiled and said, "It's just a hobby."
Hobby? F * ck, who are you lying to?
If it's just a hobby, what about us teachers who specialize in music? Are we just dabblers?
Don't be like this. Just now we were laughing at you, thinking that you definitely can't play this difficult piano music. It's fine that you have the strength to slap us, but how can you be so sarcastic?
Of course, Xiao Bing did not sarcasm them. What he said was true. For Xiao Bing, piano was really just a hobby. Martial arts was Xiao Bing's specialty.
After all, Xiao Bing did not dare to say that he was the best in the world in piano. He could only say that he was world-class. But in martial arts, although Xiao Bing was not the best in the world, he was also the world's top super master. There was indeed a big difference, but when he said it, it really made people want to vomit blood.
The man said unwillingly, "You haven't answered me yet. How did you manage to play this rhapsody?"
Xiao Bing was silent for a moment, then smiled faintly and said, "Since Rachmaninoff created this rhapsody, naturally it was played by someone. There is no piano music in the world that can't be played by someone, not even one." The person was stunned for a moment.
It seemed that Xiao Bing did not answer him, but it made him and the other music teachers understand something. Yes, a person who created a piano music naturally had to let others who liked the piano play it. There was no piano music in the world that couldn't be played, it was just that the level was not up to par. But they were too proud, or it could be said that they were frogs at the bottom of a well. They thought that if they couldn't play it, then others couldn't either. But Xiao Bing used the facts to make them understand that they shouldn't look down on anyone if they couldn't do it themselves.
The audience once again burst into warm and crazy applause!
