The world's number one pianist

What is this? Why does this task require me to successfully serve as a lecturer assistant at an art university or a normal university?

I don't know how I triggered this task.

The previous task made me become Zhao Zitong's piano teacher, which was what I clearly wanted, but this one became a lecturer assistant?

To be honest, he had thought about it before, but he didn't think much about it, because the lecturer assistant thing is very complicated and it is not something that people like him who don't have any background can get involved in. Read М

So, why did this task trigger?

He Shen frowned slightly and thought carefully about his previous experience. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find the trigger point that could trigger this task.

For a while, he couldn't help but have a little resistance to this task.

But... resisting a task is resisting a task, and the rewards for this task are also rich, so rich that he can't imagine.

You know, before I successfully became Zhao Zitong's piano teacher, I only gave her Chopin's ballades, which were only four in total, but now...

Chopin etudes, Op. 10 and Op. 25!

Each of these two collections has 12 pieces, and the two together have a total of 24 pieces.

Moreover, these two collections are like twin stars, shining in the entire music world. As long as you study music, you can't ignore their existence!

No matter what you do in the future, such as orchestra assessments, exam questions, or personal performances, you can use any of the 24 etudes as your preparatory repertoire.

Because these 24 etudes of Chopin not only include technical skills, but also contain a lot of musicality.

It has to be said that He Shen was moved. Even if this task was inexplicable, he still wanted to try it to see if he could complete it.

Give it a try, it's not a loss anyway, and there is no task penalty, maybe it will work?

He Shen immediately turned his head and looked at Wang Pei who was talking nonstop, and asked.

"Wang Pei, I want to ask, do you have the resources of a university teacher? I want to be a teacher in a university, preferably an art university or a normal university."

"Puff..."

Wang Pei almost spit out a mouthful of saliva. He looked at He Shen in disbelief, pointed at himself with his finger, and said with crazy twitching.

"Wait, wait, you ask me again? Do you think I have the resources of a university teacher? Can I provide you with a way to become a university teacher? Please, don't think so highly of me, I beg you!"

"If I had this resource, I would have given it to those people in my piano store a long time ago. This kind of thing is a scarce resource, and it is time-sensitive. How can I keep it and wait for you to come and ask? How is it possible!"

"Indeed, that's true."

He Shen nodded. What Wang Pei said made sense. It seems that he still needs to pay more attention to the relevant information.

Just when He Shen was about to skip this topic, Wang Pei suddenly said.

"But you can try to ask the store you work for. Do you remember what I told you about the little girl you taught?"

"I remember. What's wrong?"

"Did you forget? Her father is the vice president of the Conservatory of Music at Jiangzhou University of Arts. Maybe he can help you get a place for the exam?"

"Hmm..."

He Shen silently kept this suggestion in mind. If he has a chance, he can try to ask.

Anyway, there is no penalty for failure in this task. If you succeed, you can get a complete set of Chopin etudes, which is a great deal.

The two walked along the passage and went deep into the piano store. After walking to the store manager's office at the back, Wang Pei stretched out his hand and pushed open the door. There were two large grand pianos in the room.

One is a Yamaha CF series, about 200cm long, probably CF4, or CF6, the details are not clear, anyway, it is between these two models.

The other is a Steinway piano, which is about the same length as this Yamaha CF series.

If it is 200+, it should be Steinway B211, if it is less than 200, it should be A188. After all, it is just a cursory look, you can only see a logo, without touching it, it is difficult to immediately see the difference between the two.

Fortunately, after Wang Pei poured a cup of tea for He Shen, he walked to the two pianos, patted the two pianos proudly, and introduced them.

"Look, my teaching piano is Yamaha CF6, and this one is Steinway B211. I specially selected them. The lengths of the two are similar, and the timbre and feel are very different. They are especially suitable for teaching."

"Indeed."

He Shen nodded. The length of Yamaha CF and the other Steinway B211 are very obvious, 211cm, and the difference between the two is not much, which is not much different from what he guessed before.

But this classmate of his is really mixed up. Not only does he have a private office and classroom in the piano store, but he also has two pianos specifically for teaching.

You know, the prices of these two pianos are not cheap. The Yamaha one may be cheaper, about less than 1 million, and the Steinway...

He Shen had a rough idea before. The smallest Steinway, S155, costs 960,000 RMB. The higher the price, the more expensive it is. For example, this B211 is probably several million.

After confirming with his eyes, it is a piano that he cannot afford.

Wang Pei seemed to see that He Shen was very interested in this Steinway. He immediately walked to the piano, patted the black cover on it, and said with a smile.

"Oh yes, I forgot to tell you before. Our piano store has obtained the authorization from Steinway, so they sent two or three of most commonly sold pianos for us to display. I used a little help from the store manager. I have the authority to bring one of them to my room for students to use in class, so the actual cost is not much. The most expensive thing is to buy the license.”

"The same is true for the Yamaha. We also obtained their authorization, and the price of buying the piano was not too much."

"I didn't expect that after so many years since you left school, you would develop into this..."

He Shen looked at the two pianos, as well as the large number of piano rooms he passed before entering the office, and the pianos, violins, classical guitars and other instruments used as decoration around them, and couldn't help but admire them.

Wang Pei accepted He Shen's praise with a smile. The relationship between the two was very familiar, and there was not so much pretentious politeness. He sat directly on the piano stool, crossed his legs, stretched out his hand to He Shen, and asked.

"Okay, don't say so much. Why did you come to see me today? What's the matter?"

"I need to record, make a record."

He Shen stated his request directly without any hesitation.
