Chapter 91: 089 His youth has no regrets
When you\'re happy, you can hear sadness; when you\'re down, you can hear hope. Your journey continues at m v|l-e\'-NovelBin.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.
Because the drumming prodigy known as Emperor Youyou, in the final moments of "The Ultimate Cutie Show," was preparing to give everyone a true drumming performance!
[Is it a song medley?]
[Unbelievable, it felt like his hands were about to fall off from all that piano trilling, and now he still has the energy to play the drums]
No... no way?
Down below, Qu Mo was watching this scene with an incredulous gaze.
Although he had been concerned when the drums were brought up on stage, after witnessing Fang You\'s piano performance, he was convinced that Youyou had run out of energy and it was absolutely impossible for him to continue playing the drums.
That\'s impossible, absolutely impossible!
I, Qu Mo, have learned piano for a year and know how much energy it takes to play that piece...
Even I, as a BOY, can\'t manage to play two songs in a row, let alone him, a baby like that.
Qu Mo wiped the sweat from his forehead, watching as Fang You raised the drumsticks.
At the same time, the song was no longer performed on the piano, and Xia Nuo\'s spotlight was gradually fading.
As the sound of a piano note rang, background music began to play over the sound system on stage.
This sound...
Sounded like an electric guitar?
But this intro...
Isn\'t it still "Canon"?
Just as everyone was filled with suspense, Emperor Youyou gave the whole audience another huge shock!
Thump!
With the roaring of the cymbals, the heavy-metal-flavored electric guitar riff burst forth, and Fang You began his new round of performance!
As is well-known, the drum set, being a percussion instrument, although possessing rich rhythmic expressiveness and a certain musical expressive capability, fundamentally lacks the ability to produce melody and harmony.
Typically, playing the drum set requires accompaniment to match, otherwise it is just a rattling of drumbeats.
And what is a drum prodigy looking at?
Beyond just perceiving whether the drumming has a sense of rhythm, it is more about a sense of momentum!
Bold, unrestrained, with an air of unmatched supremacy!
Immersion in the wonderful love of music!
The vitality, dynamism, and stage presence of the drum set are truly in a class of their own among various instruments!
Fang You\'s drumsticks danced through the air in time with the rock version of "Canon," or more precisely, the variations of "Canon Rock."
The entire audience\'s hearts boiled over with Fang You\'s soulful playing.
[Rock + Canon? Damn! That\'s so cool!]
[The Road Less Traveled]
[Never thought Canon could be played with rock]
[This passionate melody is just too cool]
[I\'m about to be obsessed to death by You You]
[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!
