Just as Xi Xi finished playing the piano, a group of people got off a train that had just stopped at the station. Some of them were carrying musical instruments, while some were empty-handed, but they were all talking and laughing. Among them, there was an Asian face. If Yang Yi saw him, he would definitely recognize him as an acquaintance!
However, Yang Yi had no time to pay attention to him, because he was being pestered by his daughter, who wanted him to play the piano once.
"We can't hog the piano all the time. Other people want to play it!" Yang Yi explained to the little girl helplessly.
However, Xi Xi did not agree. She pouted and protested, "No, PaPa, it's not fair. I played the piano, and then you have to play too. We, we..."
The little girl was a little speechless, but the onlookers took over Xi Xi's words and started to jeer.
Although the onlookers did not understand the conversation between Xi Xi and her father, when they saw the little girl pull her father to the piano, they already understood what was going on!
As a matter of fact, they all smiled and applauded Yang Yi, and even encouraged him to try with words.
Not only were they encouraging him, but they were also very curious about the level of a father who had taught his daughter so well!
Yang Yi did not want to be in the limelight, but now he was also "unable to refuse the kindness". He smiled helplessly at Xi Xi, stopped being shy, and sat on the piano stool.
Everyone quieted down, just like before, and waited for the performance to start.
Xi Xi was also very happy. She pulled Tong Tong, skipped around to her father's left side, and stood next to the piano. The little girl did not forget to make a "shh" gesture to her brother.
After Yang Yi sat on the piano stool, he pondered for a while, thinking about what song to play.
There were a lot of beautiful songs, such as the familiar "Flight of the Bumblebee", the third movement of Beethoven's "Moonlight", and many difficult piano pieces by Franz Liszt. Of course, there was also Maxim's "Cubana Cubana".
However, Yang Yi did not want to show off his skills. He felt that his purpose of sitting in front of the piano was not to win everyone's applause, but to set a good example for Xi Xi and even Tong Tong!
In this way, the piano piece he had to choose was destined to be rich and colorful in the expression of emotions. Only in this way could it play a good role in guiding Xi Xi. Secondly, its difficulty could not be too low. Forget about the level of "Ode to Alice". Yang Yi did not want to show off his skills, but it did not mean that he wanted to hide his skills — this was meaningless!
"I got it! The Crave! " Yang Yi thought of this piano piece that appeared in the movie "The Pianist at Sea," which he liked very much in his previous life.
This song appeared in the plot of the piano duel between 1900 and the founder of jazz, Jerry. In the movie, both Jerry and 1900 played this song, and Jerry played it so well that 1900 was in tears.
It was a composition by Jerry in real life, but it was worth mentioning that this was not a song to show off his skills. Although the two of them used it to duel, the real show of their skills started after Jerry said something that made 1900 angry, and then they took out the other songs again.
This "The Crave" was a very classic jazz piano piece, and it was also a song that Yang Yi liked very much. The difficulty was not high, but the emotions it expressed were very wonderful. Just like its name, hope, enthusiasm, and the free soul of jazz music, the thoughts it expressed were also positive, and it was very worthy of Yang Yi's performance!
…
It was a long speech, but Yang Yi only thought for a few seconds. He began to raise his other hand, paused slightly, and began to play.
At the beginning, the melody was very light, and the surrounding tourists could not help but feel refreshed.
Of course, the way Yang Yi pressed the strings with ease, and the smooth and beautiful music that made people feel comfortable listening to it, also made many people in the station who had a certain level of musical literacy stunned. "Not simple!"
Even the station in Leipzig did not have so many professionals, but not being able to play professionally did not mean that they did not know how to appreciate it. Many Europeans had listened to countless concerts since they were young, and their ability to appreciate music was certainly not ordinary!
As for the tourists nearby, when they saw Yang Yi's fingers begin to dance, they could deeply feel the power of Yang Yi's piano skills!
It was not as fast as playing a song like Flight of the Bumblebee, but Yang Yi's fingers were very light, as if he was not playing the piano, but his fingers were gently dancing with the rhythm, giving people an indescribable feeling of naturalness, smoothness, and softness!
"The Crave" was a light piece, and the rhythm of the notes expressed the desire for beauty. As the rhythm jumped, it was as if a relaxed and joyful state was diffusing like the fragrance of flowers, making the audience feel indescribable happiness!
And when Yang Yi played, it was precisely this happiness that was expressed!
His height was not too conspicuous in the West, but when he played the piano, his body exuded a kind of elegant confidence. His strong face gently swayed, as if expressing the tenderness of the music, and even catering to the characteristics of jazz music. Yang Yi's wantonly twisting body also conveyed a kind of freedom concept!
The beauty of music could make people cry, and this did not only exist in novels and movies. Some people who could really understand music could not help but close their eyes and listen to it intoxicatedly. Then … they could not help but feel a little moved, and two lines of hot tears would fall from the enthusiasts' eyes — of course, very few people, and no one saw it …
Not to mention the other audience members, even Murphy, who was sitting next to their luggage, could not help but close her eyes and listen to it intoxicatedly. She was not moved, only happy and excited: This is my man!
The main audience members were Xi Xi and Tong Tong. Tong Tong did not know how to appreciate it, but her sister was enraptured by it. She seemed to be infected by the enthusiasm of the music, and the little girl's face was filled with a sweet smile.
PaPa played the piano so well!
… …
Beautiful music always made people addicted to it, and they even forgot the time!
Yang Yi played the entire song for nearly five minutes, but after the song was played, some of the audience members were still not satisfied and did not come back to their senses for a long time. Some reacted quickly and gave applause, but it was very sparse, and after a while, it gradually became denser. In the end, everyone in the waiting area stood up and enthusiastically applauded Yang Yi.
Yang Yi stood up and bowed to thank everyone. At this time, he was surprised to find that he was surrounded by people, as if everyone in the waiting area had gathered.
But Yang Yi played so well that even if he had already thanked everyone, everyone still applauded and smiled at him with the most sincere respect.
A fat German even praised Yang Yi loudly in German. Yang Yi smiled slightly, cupped his hands in greeting, and thanked him in German.
This Asian who can play the piano so well also knows German?
Suddenly, Yang Yi received more praise.
Mo Fei couldn't help but come up to him and give him a big hug. Xi Xi also ran up happily and hugged her father with her brother.
"Papa, you are super awesome!" The little girl's little face was red with excitement.
Tong Tong, like a parrot, also shouted like her sister, "Papa is super awesome!"
The two little guys looked at their father with admiration. Yang Yi suddenly felt that his idea of setting an example for the children had been realized.
He smiled, held Murphy's waist, and patted the heads of the two little guys with a smile, and said, "Then you have to work hard in the future and be as awesome as your father!"
… …
After a short hustle and bustle, the tourists did not bother too much. They all laughed and rushed to their respective trains. The train station seemed to be quiet again.
But at this time, an Asian man in casual clothes with an extraordinary temperament finally found the opportunity to walk up to Yang Yi with a smile. "Yang Yi, long time no see!"
