After Bei Chen finished speaking, many people became excited:

"It's alright, Mr. Mask, a little shorter doesn't matter. We just want to see your performance!"

"Yes, Mr. Mask, when are you going to hold a concert? We are all looking forward to it."

Concert!

This familiar yet unfamiliar word sent a jolt through Lu Jiuning.

Yes! Once Bei Chen releases more songs, it seems like we could really hold a concert.

etc!

What would it be like if a bar were turned into a concert venue?

That sounds so exciting!

But how big of a bar would it have to be to host a concert? You can't exactly rent out a stadium and use it as a bar, can you?

Lu Jiuning's thoughts drifted away again...

Bei Chen redeemed a song from the system, spent ten minutes transcribing the sheet music, and then said, "The next song is called 'Secret'!"

("Secret" is an insert song from Jay Chou's movie "Secret", with both the lyrics and music written by Jay Chou! It was also used in the intro of "The Greatest Work"!)

This article selects the accelerated version of "Secret," specifically the part where Ye Xianglun travels through time at the end.

This piece is hailed as Jay Chou's coolest piano work.

The music was not arranged by teachers Zhong Xingmin, Hong Jingyao, Lin Maike, or Huang Yuxun;

Without lyrics by Vincent Fang, Huang Junlang, or Lin Xi;

There was no unclear pronunciation in the singing, and it also had a unique rhythmic opera style.

There is only one piano, and only one pair of hands playing pure piano music.

However, it has been recognized by many pianists, and has even been covered by pianists such as Li Yundi and Maksim.

It can be said that this song, stripped of all other elements, best showcases Jay Chou's musicality...

As the piano music began, signaling the start of the song, everyone fell silent and began to listen attentively.

From the very beginning, this piece has a strong classical feel, opening with a fugue.

Lively, beautiful, and expressive, it brings out the greatest characteristics of a fugue.

Furthermore, the meter, sentence structure, and other aspects of fugues are very rigorous, and their rhythmic patterns are traceable.

The prelude corresponds to a piano piece from the Baroque period.

It recreates the work of Bach, the master of polyphonic music, who innovated and developed the fugue on the harpsichord.

At the 24th second!

The rhythm and melody suddenly became unconventional.

Compared to the prelude, it will be lighter and more agile, with more delicacy and subtlety, as well as more playfulness and cuteness.

What's easy to empathize with is the light, running piano tone reminiscent of Mozart.

This marks the end of the Baroque period, represented by fugues, and the beginning of the Classical era for piano music.

At the 32nd second!

Upon closer inspection, it can be observed that Bei Chen has begun to exhibit the technique of playing the piano with both hands crossed.

This situation occurs when a large-span chord appears.

The piano music gradually grew stronger and more urgent, adding a touch of solemnity to the atmosphere.

From soothing to intense, the progression unfolds layer by layer, stirring the emotions within the reader.

Technical skill became a characteristic of this period, but the beauty of the melody was still maintained.

Bei Chen's techniques are simply dazzling and colorful!

This corresponds to Liszt's large interval leaps, marking the end of the Classical period and the beginning of the Romantic period.

Upon hearing this, Beiheshan clearly sensed something; his breathing slowed down, and he almost forgot how to breathe.

It's not just Beiheshan; all those who understand the piano are in the same situation.

At the 40th second!

The somber and dull atmosphere gradually faded, and things began to become more lively and cheerful again.

It is gentle yet graceful, full of romance, depth, and dreamlike quality.

Its unique charm carries a subtle undercurrent of sadness and sighs.

However, the rhythm and cadence did not weaken at all; in fact, they tended to intensify.

It was as if the piano poet Chopin was sitting at the piano again, fully performing pieces from the height of Romanticism.

1 minute 10 seconds!

The music is even more magnificent than the previous pieces.

The contrast between loud and soft notes was distinct, clear and robust, with the elasticity of heavy metal filling the entire venue.

That moment!

No longer afraid of the present and the future.

No longer afraid of freedom and death.

There was only one thought in my mind: to return to your side...

The piece reached its climax by using such magnificent chords.

Oh, that's the great Rachmaninoff!

This also corresponds to the end of Romanticism.

From 1 minute 16 seconds to 1 minute 20 seconds.

In just four short seconds, you could feel a swarm of bees rushing towards you.

This is an imitation of the modern classical piano piece "Flight of the Bumblebee".

Finally, the entire piece ended with an E5 note.

[My goodness, is this even a human being capable of composing? A piano student with six years of experience, I'm in awe!]

Don't even mention your six years of piano learning experience; even I, a piano teacher, am completely blown away!

I thought Mr. Mask's peak was in traditional Chinese style and rock, but I never imagined that piano music was also one of his specialties!

No, do you all have such high praise for this piece of music?

In the previous song, I could hear that the melody was very beautiful, but in this song, I could only hear that the melody was varied.

However, I'm not sure exactly what makes it so powerful. Can someone explain it to me?

Most people will compare Summer and Secret.

"Summer" is simple and refreshing, with a strong artistic conception. Even people who don't know the piano can appreciate it.

However, Secret is somewhat obscure and difficult to understand, and even has a hint of showing off skills.
