The world's number one pianist

Li Tongyun, female, is a sophomore student at the School of Music of Jiangzhou Normal University. ReadМ

Today is September 1st. She just arrived at school yesterday, so she packed her luggage until eleven o'clock. So when she got up from the dormitory in a daze, she suddenly found that she was almost late.

The class at 10:30 in the morning is now 10 o'clock!

Without thinking much, she shouted to the other roommates who were still sleeping.

"Get up, get up, the first class this morning is with Professor Wu Chuan. It's a romantic period music appreciation class, by Wu Chuan!"

"Ah? Do you want to go to class..."

"What is the appreciation of music in the romantic period..."

"Wuchuan...???"

The three people still lying on the bed also rubbed their eyes in a daze. When they heard Wu Chuan's voice, everyone was stunned and asked in disbelief.

"Wait? The first class is for Wu Chuan?"

"No, doesn't he teach harmony?"

"Why does he also teach music appreciation in this romantic period..."

"That's it, that's it. As long as he is late for class in his class, he will basically be deducted 10 points, and his name will be called in every class."

There was no time to think about it. They immediately climbed out of bed, took their makeup bags and schoolbags with them, and ran directly towards the big classroom without even having time to buy breakfast.

Soon, they ran to the large lecture hall. This was a combined class, so there were a lot of people in the large classroom at this time.

After they finally found a seat at the back, they raised their hands and glanced at their phones.

Huh, okay, it's only ten twenty-five, still five minutes late.

Li Tongyun suddenly raised his head, scanned the classroom, and found that, worthy of Professor Wu Chuan's reputation, there were still five minutes left before class, and almost everyone was there, sitting in a dense circle.

Seeing so many people, Li Tongyun slowly breathed a sigh of relief, took out the cosmetic bag in his hand, and quickly applied light makeup on himself.

As a result, when she was putting on light makeup, half past ten came, and the whole classroom immediately became extremely quiet.

Li Tongyun looked at this scene and couldn't help but complain to his roommate in a low voice.

"As expected of Professor Wu Chuan, it only took one year to make us docile and we didn't dare to speak when the time was up."

"Who says it's not the case? After all, it's even 10 minutes..."

"That's right..."

Everyone winked at each other cautiously.

Just when everyone was about to panic, the door of the lecture theater was suddenly opened, and a young man appeared in everyone's sight.

"Hey, look, there is actually someone who doesn't listen to the advice and is late. I bet that he will be punished by Professor Wu Chuan."

"That's right, there will be something good to watch then."

"That's right..."

Li Tongyun rolled his eyes at his roommate, frowned slightly and thought for a moment. Seeing that Professor Wu Chuan hadn't come yet, he immediately waved to He Shen cautiously and whispered.

"Hey, sit down quickly. When Professor Wu Chuan comes, you will be in trouble!"

He Shen was standing near the podium, debating whether to start the class directly or wait until Professor Wu Chuan arrived, when he suddenly heard the voice of a girl in the distance and immediately looked around.

Seeing that there was an empty seat near her, He Shen walked over without any hesitation.

Without waiting for the girl's consent, she sat down directly. After sitting down, she said lightly.

"Thank you."

"Well, this position..."

Li Tongyun looked at He Shen who suddenly came closer, and was a little confused for a moment. He didn't expect that he actually sat down directly.

It was even more unexpected that a boy would suddenly sit next to a girl.

According to common sense, unless there are boyfriends and girlfriends, the normal seating arrangements are basically for boys to sit together in a dormitory and for girls to sit together in a dormitory.

A boy suddenly sits among a group of girls. This is too...

Before she could react, the classroom door was opened again, and Professor Wu Chuan slowly walked onto the podium wearing a pair of reading glasses.

He put down the handouts and student list in his hand, pushed up his reading glasses, looked up and scanned everyone around him, and then spoke.

"Before class, roll call."

"Music Education Class 1, Tang Pengyu..."

…

"Music Performance Class 1, Zheng Jiahao..."

…

Wu Chuan's roll call was very fast, but the number of people was also very large.

Looking at Wu Chuan who kept calling his name, Li Tongyun complained softly.

"Really, doesn't it bother him that I have to take attendance every time in class?"

"Music Performance Class Two, Li Tongyun..."

"arrive!"

Li Tongyun immediately stood up and answered. Looking at He Shen who said nothing, he felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward. He pretended not to care and continued to complain, looking for common topics with He Shen.

"Also, let me tell you, this Wu Chuan is very annoying. He is very easy to deduct normal points. Have you also been deducted?"

"..."

"Well, one more thing, Wu Chuan often asks people to answer questions. His questions are quite difficult. If you can't answer them well, you will be asked to add extra homework later and hand it over to him later."

"..."

Looking at He Shen who had been silent, Li Tongyun was also a little curious about which class He Shen was in.

As a result, he waited until the roll call was over but didn't even wait for He Shen to stand up.

"Um..., classmate, I would like to ask, which department are you from? Why hasn't the professor called you?"

Li Tongyun gently poked He Shen and asked in a low voice.

He Shen looked at Li Tongyun beside him in confusion.

What the hell is going on now? Do you have to check your student status to sit down?

He had been saying bad things about his direct professor before...

And if you want to ask, why are you poking me...

He Shen shuddered, shook his head, and spoke to Li Tongyun.

"Piano Department."

"Huh? Piano Department? Music Performance? Then aren't you a sophomore in our class? Or..."

Just as Li Tongyun was about to continue asking, Wu Chuan, who was standing on the podium, had closed the list in his hand and spoke lightly.

"This year, you are in your sophomore year, and we are offering a course on romantic music appreciation."

"I know you are going to say that you are almost tired of listening to the music of the romantic period."

"Of course, I am almost tired of it too. There are a lot of composers like Chopin, Liszt, Brahms, and they have written hundreds of thousands of works in total. The famous ones are probably only a few thousand. I am tired of listening to them."

"And when you are taking the art exam, you also have listening questions. You need to listen to the beginning and remember who the composer of this work is."

"Of course I know, but do you think... can you really understand the music of the romantic period thoroughly?"

"Can you clearly analyze from the music what the creators were thinking when they created this work?"

"How to transform the ideas in the minds of these creators into the phrases in your hands? Do you know?"

...

Everyone was suddenly silent. These were what they wanted to say in their hearts.

What Liszt, what Chopin, they have listened to these works countless times, and they think they can easily understand romantic music.

But...

They don't seem to know much about music.

They just know that Chopin should be played softly, after all, he is a piano poet.

And Liszt should be played a little more vigorously, he is the king of piano.

There are some other stereotypes.

But if they really analyze this work word by word, they really don't seem to understand it.

Just as Professor Wu Chuan said, can they transform the ideas of the creator and composer into the phrases in their hands?

Obviously, they can't...

Just when they were waiting for Wu Chuan to say something next, Wu Chuan suddenly spoke.

"So, in the first month of this class, we will thoroughly analyze and study Chopin, and then other composers."

"He Shen, come up."

In Li Tongyun's confused eyes, He Shen stood up from his seat, walked to the podium, and nodded to Professor Wu Chuan.

"Hello, I'm He Shen"
