"Within a short span of 1 minute and 25 seconds, the piano techniques and characteristics of the Baroque, Classical, early, middle and late Romantic periods are interspersed in sequence."
The rhythm is distinct, and the melodic lines are clear!
Moreover, the transitions between each stitch are very natural, without any stiffness.
What's most impressive is that the entire song doesn't quote, copy, or piece together any previous works; it's all original creations by Mr. Mask.
It was as if the power of music took us on a journey through the history of the piano.
This is not only a tribute to our ancestors, using the most solid foundation to play music, but also a journey through time through music...
As Yan Ping said, the "time travel" brought about by the superb composition skills of "Secret" is surprisingly harmonious with the time travel shown in the movie "Secret".
Upon closer inspection, you'll find that this detail is simply a stroke of genius.
It was at this moment that people realized the unique qualities of this piece of music:
Wow, I was wondering why I could hear so many techniques from the Classical period; it turns out this piece is arranged according to the history of piano playing.
[I knew this song was cool, but I didn't expect it to be this cool!]
This completely changed my understanding of piano music!
[It would have been better if Professor Yan Ping hadn't mentioned it; once he did, I actually felt that this piece was even better than "Summer"!]
My mom asked me why I was kneeling on the keyboard. It's because I'm kneeling before a gaming genius...
[...]
The astonishment of passersby and netizens was almost as high as a ten-story building.
No one expected that Bei Chen would also have such talent in piano music.
Even Beiheshan hadn't expected that Beichen could use a single piece of music to string together all the classical music together.
This gives Beihe Mountain a feeling of having found a divine brew, something worth savoring.
"What are you doing standing around? Vote!"
"Yes, yes, yes, how can we not vote for such a great Mr. Mask!"
As a result, almost everyone present, including viewers in the live stream, voted for Bei Chen.
Mr. Mask's name quickly rose to 862nd place on the West End's list of famous musicians.
The masked man, who appeared for the first time, had already surpassed Yan Ping by more than 200.
This surprised Yan Ping, who had visited the Art West District several times.
After realizing what had happened, he felt no hostility towards Bei Chen; instead, he admired him from the bottom of his heart.
When someone surpasses you in some way, you might feel jealous and resentful.
However, when they realize that they can never surpass their opponent, this jealousy and resentment will turn into admiration and respect.
The desire to admire the strong is universal.
Seeing Bei Chen conquer everyone with his piano playing, Lu Jiuning was also itching to try it himself. "I want to try it too!"
Bei Chen looked over curiously: "You can play the piano too?"
Lu Jiuning narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled slyly: "I can't play the piano!"
But don't forget, this is the West End of the Arts District, where you can find all kinds of musical instruments.
"Didn't we practice a piece before? Why don't we take this opportunity to show it off?"
After Lu Jiuning reminded him, Bei Chen remembered that there was indeed such a piece of music.
That was when Lu Jiuning said she could play bass, and Bei Chen took out a piece for her to practice to see how good she was.
If you think about it, all of that happened before we went to find Lin Sen.
"Alright, then it'll be the last song. Play it and get out of here!"
"Okay!" Lu Jiuning laughed heartily, his laughter causing those around him to lose their composure.
Cheng Jie, who was standing next to her, was somewhat surprised. She rarely saw Lu Jiuning smile so happily when she was with a man.
That masked man is quite capable!
Could it be...?
No, no, no, I must be overthinking it.
Bei Chen walked into the traditional musical instrument area and picked up an antique-looking pipa.
Lu Jiuning, on the other hand, came carrying a bass guitar.
Seeing the two of them, many people paused.
"Wow, there won't be a third song, will there?!"
"As expected of Mr. Mask, I love his combination of quality and quantity!"
"Wait, Mr. Mask has changed his instrument. It's a pipa now. Is he about to unlock something new?"
"Boss Lu is on stage too! Is this a collaboration between the pipa and bass? I wonder what it will sound like!"
"..."
Bei Chen sat down, holding his pipa: "You all guessed correctly, this piece is a collaboration between the pipa and bass."
By the way, the next episode of the Beehive Bar's collection of ancient music will include a piece for the pipa (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument).
The piece we're playing now is "The Pipa Enters the Battle."
(This piece is the soundtrack for the Chinese animated series "Scissor Seven," composed by Hou Junjie!)
"Hmm...it's just a bit short!"
Bei Chen's explanation was brief, leaving no one with a clear understanding, and no one took it too seriously.
It was only later that I learned that when he said it was short, it really was short.
After Bei Chen settled down, a faint killing intent emanated from his body.
To play this piece, one can perfectly utilize his past life experiences and emotions.
"Ta-da!"
The two consecutive strums were powerful, resounding, and full of cheerful energy.
It burst out suddenly, without giving anyone any psychological warning.
Immediately afterwards, at the 4-second mark, a series of finger-tapping movements followed.
Its tone is like the crisp and melodious sound of a string of jade beads striking each other, each bead full and resonant.
But at the 6-second mark, he pulled back in time, with a flick and a sweep, just right.
Such mastery requires considerable skill.
At the 9-second mark, a long and continuous series of string picking and strumming techniques unfolds.
That kind of chivalrous spirit and vengeance in the martial arts world;
A fierce clash of knives, spears, and clubs;
There was also the tense atmosphere before the final battle.
The sense of the scene unfolds rapidly, as if the listener is already in the midst of such a battlefield.
Everyone could feel a surge of adrenaline; it was none other than the thrill of the pipa itself.
This kind of stimulation is a feeling that Western musical instruments cannot provide.
It gives people the feeling that this is what a pipa should be, and that this is the explosive power that a traditional musical instrument should have.
When the audience nods along to the rhythm, you can tell they're starting to enjoy themselves.
Yan Ping already had a foundation in music, and his fingers unconsciously wanted to play along.
The most delighted person was Liang Guyin, as this was a melody she had never encountered before.
Furthermore, every tone played by Bei Chen was so decisive, so clean and crisp, with a remarkably clear articulation and a strong explosive power.
It perfectly matches Liang Guyin's aesthetic!
At the 14-second mark, Lu Jiuning's bass line quickly cut in...
