Some say that "Canon" is one of the most enchanting pieces of instrumental music in human history.
Its charm lies in its ability to awaken the softest things in people's hearts.
When you're happy, you can hear sadness; when you're down, you can hear hope. Your journey continues at m v|l-e'-novelhall.net
Of course, the overall feeling that "Canon" conveys is warm and gentle.
It's like the first ray of sunlight that melts the ice and snow, reviving everything in the early spring, meeting you again after enduring a harsh winter season.
The "Canon" performed together by Fang You and Xia Nuo is just such a piece.
However, as the performance progressed, the audience gradually realized that their challenge did not stop there.
The accelerating melody of "Canon" made the entire atmosphere grow increasingly tense and passionate. When it reached its climax, Fang You's hands flew over the piano keys, while one could feel the constant intertwining waves of sound emanating from the piano.
This feeling of resonance with the soul and its silky smooth touch were definitely beyond what could be captured during previous practice sessions.
Whether it was musical sensibility or piano fingering, Fang You felt that he had reached an unprecedented, pinnacle level.
[Child of the Grand Stage] was continuously playing its role!
If Fang You hadn't modified the parts Xia Nuo had to play in the duet, she would definitely have been unable to keep up with him now, either in stamina or technique!
Meanwhile, whether they were musically educated or not, whether they had learned to play the piano or not, everyone could feel Fang You's otherworldly piano playing skills from the high-pitched, continuous piano sounds.
[Youyou's trilling is so strong!]
[I feel like Youyou's fingers are flying]
[What a tentacle monster!]
[The most difficult part of "Canon" is the trilling, but it's also the most romantic part!]
[I'm at piano level 6 and don't have this skill]
[Don't underestimate yourself, upstairs! Even at piano level 10, few can reach this level!]
[Who told me he was a drumming prodigy, not a piano prodigy?]
[Ahhh! I can't take it! A song that has been sung for four hundred years is still so exciting for me, who understands?]
As Fang You's trilling gradually slowed down, the duet with Xia Nuo transitioned from vigorous enthusiasm to gentle calmness, and everyone's agitated emotions also began to settle.
It seemed like the piece was coming to an end.
[Truly an audio-visual feast]
[It sounds good, but what was the drum set really used for?]
[Could it be a broadcasting accident or something? The organizers thought Youyou would use the drum set or something]
While everyone was guessing what the drum set was really for, the four-hand "Canon" turned into a solo performance by Xia Nuo.
She slowly pressed each note of "Canon", her gaze fixated on the boy who stood up beside her.
Emperor Youyou stood up!
Under the intense focus of the entire audience, Fang You stepped to the rhythm of the notes, making his way to the drum set with light steps.
As the last note was pressed, Xia Nuo's rendition of "Canon" abruptly stopped.
But there was no enthusiastic applause from the audience.
[Look at his feet, he's double kicking!]
[This double kick is amazing, help...]
[What "cute kid"? This is practically a demon in disguise!]
The applause and cheers thundered throughout the venue, with everyone's hands going numb from clapping.
And as for Qu Mo below the stage, he was sweating profusely, a veritable three-thousand-foot waterfall of sweat!
He was on the verge of peeing his pants!
As a drummer himself, of course, he knew how valuable the double kick technique was!
Double kicking is an advanced drumming technique that requires the player to use both feet to control two pedals of the bass drum simultaneously, enabling fast, precise, and rhythmically complex double bass drum play.
Just think about it: when driving, if one foot is on the gas and the other on the brake, can you guarantee you won't make a mistake every time?
Fang You's playing couldn't even be described as multitasking at this point, it was like he was quadruplexing!
His left hand, right hand, left foot, and right foot all had their own tasks, and each time he ensured there were no mistakes.
Even Qu Mo, a grade-ten jazz drummer, admitted that he couldn't master the essence of the double kick.
I... I've lost.
Qu Mo almost knelt down.
Good thing he was a bit chubby, making bending his knees not so easy.
It's hard to admit that a baby can outdo a BOY.
But the title of drum prodigy definitely wasn't his this year.
Qu Mo needed to make a plan to take down the Great Emperor next year!
Starting with intensive practice of the double kick technique.
Qu Mo decided to go pee first!
Meanwhile, Fang You's friends and family were also desperately cheering for Emperor Youyou.
Chen Xuan continued to faithfully record the glorious moments of her son's public performance, "I must take more photos."
"Mommy! You're blocking Ling Nai! Let Ling Nai also see You You!"
Ling Nai pushed against her mother, Yako, wanting to get a better look at You You, but her mother didn't care about herself at all!
"Wowww! You You is just too cool!"
Excitable Lin Yi was more frenzied than anyone, bouncing up and down, hugging Luo Xianyu tightly in her arms. Ayu was getting smothered between Lin Yi's soft bunny, about to suffocate and blow bubbles.
The mothers were all fervently cheering for the rhythm brought by Fang You, and just as Fang Guanghui was about to raise his arms in a cheer to make clear to the audience around him that this was his son performing, he suddenly noticed that Xia Anyang beside him had tears streaming down his face.
The scalding tears couldn't be stopped as they cascaded down Xia Anyang's face.
This high-spirited, fiery rock version of "Canon" was not just a labor of love and masterpiece that he and Fang You had dedicated themselves to creating, but it was also an endless recollection and nostalgia for his wondrous youth.
There was a time when holding a personal concert for his own band at the Yingdu Dome Stadium was the lifelong dream of Xia Anyang.
Now, although Xia Anyang wasn't personally on the stage,
His songs, his daughter, they had already stood on this grand stage, enjoying the adulation of tens of thousands of people...
His youth, had no regrets!
