My girlfriend is a cellist

Chapter 413 Use Bach to find the answers you want!

I spent the entire morning today studying the history of modern classical music.

From the embryonic stage of religious music in the Middle Ages to the rise of humanism in the Renaissance.

From the beginning of music dramatization to the emergence of representative forms such as opera.

There are also diversified explorations from the classical period, the romantic period, and the 20th century to the present.

Impressionism, Expressionism, Neoclassicism, Electronic music, Pop music.
Such boring and tedious knowledge points made Lin Tian, a liberal arts warrior who had a miserable high school life, feel drowsy after listening to them.

The opposite of this is Gan Yanyu.

This girl kept her eyes fixed on Tuoba Jianhui the whole time, and listened very carefully. She is definitely an excellent example of a good student.

To put things one way or another, Gan Yanyu is really straightforward.

When Lin Tian first expressed that he did not want to study this course, Gan Yanyu was the first to stand up and follow the group, expressing strong opposition to studying the history of classical music.

Later, Lin Tian agreed to attend the class. Gan Yanyu studied harder than anyone else and it seemed that she really had a strong interest in this course.

The contrast between before and after can only be described as "too sweet"!
I was immersed in the atmosphere of classicism for the entire morning.

The two walked back to the apartment.

"How's your study going?"

Lin Tian asked Gan Yanyu.

"Yeah, it's OK."

Gan Yanyu unexpectedly showed confidence.

“I thought it would be difficult to understand, but it was surprisingly easy to learn.”

Such as the contents of Impressionism and Romanticism.

"Because you, Lin Tian, have written such songs before, and I have also studied them carefully, so I understood them quickly." Gan Yanyu said.

Lin Tian then realized that he had unknowingly gone through almost all the typical pieces in the history of classical music.

Thinking of this, Lin Tian smiled and touched Gan Yanyu's head.

"Then our little Gan is really smart."

After all, it is only a short period of time, such as one morning, but it packs in a whole semester's worth of class content that an average college student might have to learn.

Even someone like Lin Tian, who has a whole music library in his head, can only barely understand what Tuoba Jianhui calls "neo-classicism".

Gan Yanyu has been able to fully absorb the knowledge points from her own playing experience.

This is truly a perfect example of “unity of knowledge and action”.

With such a useful brain, Xiao Gan will succeed in everything he does.

Lin Tian rubbed the girl’s head, feeling very happy.

Gan Yanyu's neck shrank, a blush gradually appeared on her face, and she leaned her head along Lin Tian's hand and snuggled into Lin Tian's arms.

She stuck to Lin Tian's body, like a kitten asking for its owner's caress, and gently rubbed her head against Lin Tian's armpits.

"hey-hey."

Gan Yanyu raised her head and smiled playfully, very happy with Lin Tian's compliment.

Although he usually scolded Gan Yanyu for being stupid, Lin Tian could now finally praise her openly.

"."

For a moment, Lin Tian's armpits were itchy. He never expected Gan Yanyu to be so proactive, and his arms suddenly became stiff.

When they walked on the university campus, they were the focus of attention of passing students.

Seeing this heartwarming scene, more curious, happy and excited eyes focused on it.

This made Lin Tian feel a little embarrassed.

"Xiao Gan, there are a lot of people here."

"Xiao Gan, don't we need to act it out again?"

"Student Xiao Gan."

Lin Tian called out several times, but Gan Yanyu remained indifferent.

Lin Tianxin became ruthless and decided to stop pretending.

He grabbed Gan Yanyu's little hand, and they opened their five fingers, interlocked their fingers, and held them tightly together.

Then, Lin Tian took Gan Yanyu's hand and strode forward along the street of the campus.

Their steps were in sync, one tall and one short, and their pace became faster and faster, gradually becoming light and airy.

On the way, all the students who passed by the two of them were surprised and stared at them with wide eyes.

Some of the boys were so anxious that they jumped up and down, while others were inexplicably excited and waved their fists as if they were making some kind of victory gesture.

The girls were all delighted and looked at them with eyes full of happiness, their hearts almost beating out of their chests.

Lin Tian felt these burning gazes, which continued until they walked out of the university campus gate.

While waiting for the traffic light, Lin Tian looked at Gan Yanyu beside him.

"."Gan Yanyu lowered his head and did not move.

Lin Tian bumped Gan Yanyu with his shoulder, and the girl instantly raised her head like a frightened little white rabbit.

She pursed her lips, her face flushed, and her dilated pupils were still trembling.

Lin Tian couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"what's so funny"

Gan Yanyu complained softly and puffed up her lips.

"Our teacher Gan is so shy just by holding hands." Lin Tian teased.

"It's my first time in front of other people. I'd be embarrassed if they saw me."

Gan Yanyu curled her little hands coyly.

For a 19-year-old girl, it's neither too early nor too late.

This is the age when one has the most youthful and obscure understanding of this relationship.

She spoke softly, turned her head and looked at the hand that Lin Tian was holding tightly.

Feeling the warmth in Lin Tian’s palm.

Although the girl's face was still flushed with shyness, the corners of her mouth were still slightly raised.
"Then you have to get used to it." Lin Tian said.

"what?"

Gan Yanyu just came back to his senses from his thoughts and didn't understand.

"Now that I've held your hand, I won't let go." Lin Tian grinned.

As the traffic light turned green, the crowd around them surged towards the zebra crossing like a tide, pushing Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu forward.

They held hands tightly the whole time and were not separated by the crowd.

Therefore,
What is the matter with the declaration of war issued by Teacher Tuoba?

After returning to the apartment, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu recalled what Tuoba Jianhui said this morning.

An ensemble showdown?
What Tuoba Jianhui meant was that Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu would compete with Tuoba Jianhui and another cellist.

Only by beating them can we go to the Kerr Cup.

Lin Tian covered his forehead, feeling a little troubled.

No,

Fight with Tuoba Jianhui?

The other cellist, who is it?

What is certain is that he is definitely a senior cellist, and if nothing unexpected happens, he is one of the best of Tuoba Jianhui's generation.

Two musicians, Lao Deng, who have already achieved success, want to fight with two young people, himself and Gan Yanyu?

Isn't this bullying?
Lin Tian didn't quite understand the purpose of Tuoba Jianhui's declaration of war.

But he knew that this would definitely be a tough battle.

It is obvious that it was not achieved overnight for Tuoba Jianhui to have reached such a high status today.

Twenty years ago, when he was young, he was once a famous musician named "Lin Tian" and "Gan Yanyu". He was also a musician known as a peerless genius.

At the age of 60, do you want to compete with them when they are only 19 years old?

hiss--

Lin Tian thought about it.

If I compete with Tuoba Laodeng.

Let’s not talk about his strength. After all, he is so old and his playing condition may not be as good as when he was young.

But the pressure alone is enough to make Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu suffer.

This is the difficulty of this "competition". They have to face the pressure from the older generation of musicians.

"."

"Who is the cellist that Tuoba mentioned? Do you have any idea?"

Lin Tian asked Gan Yanyu.

Gan Yanyu is quite familiar with these musicians and the old guys of Tuoba Jianhui's generation.

"I don't know either"

Gan Yanyu stroked his chin and thought seriously.
"Including my grandfather, I remember that most of the cellists around Teacher Tuoba disappeared."

"Disappeared?"

Lin Tian thought about it and agreed.

There are cellists like Uncle Gan, who hasn't played the cello for 16 years and has retired from the world, starting his own new career (coffee).

In the eyes of the world, it has long been considered to have "disappeared".

It is only because he is in this circle that Lin Tian feels that the shadow of Uncle Gan is always by his side.

Lin Tian looked at Gan Yanyu.

In another 30 years, 50 years.

Will I become like Gan Yanyu, disappearing from the eyes of the world?
"How is Tuoba's playing ability?" Lin Tian asked.

Logically speaking, a world-class performer like Tuoba Jianhui has an absolutely top-notch understanding of music, and at the same time, they themselves must have quite good instrumental performance skills.

Able to conduct a group of talented top performers and put his own ideas above the orchestra.

The person standing on the podium must be an extremely good performer himself.

It goes without saying that Tuoba Jianhui's musical ability is absolutely outstanding.

However, Lin Tian was not sure what the specific level was.

"I do not know."

Gan Yanyu shook his head again.
"Although I like Mr. Tuoba's works very much, I have never seen him perform. I only know that he is very good at piano."

"Piano"

Right now.

Tuoba Jianhui will face Lin Tian head-on.

They not only have to compete on the piano, but also in their understanding and interpretation of music.

Gan Yanyu's opponent is another cellist.

Just as Tuoba Jianhui said.

If Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu cannot defeat them here, then they will definitely not be able to do anything even if they go to the Cole Cup.

Since you are the inheritor.

You must also bear the weight of inheritance first.

"."

Thinking of this, Lin Tian's eyes gradually brightened.

"Is this their purpose?"

Lin Tian murmured,

"Through the competition with us, we can understand the so-called 'weight' of classical music that he mentioned."

This old man really took great pains to achieve this goal.

Lin Tian smiled.

He was really not afraid, and he took the opportunity of the competition to beat him severely in the ensemble, making the 60-year-old guy unable to raise his head in front of him.

Be careful or you may lose your integrity in your later years.

Thinking of this, Lin Tian gradually became excited.

Finally, he had the chance to teach this arrogant old man a lesson. He couldn't ask for more.

"."

Although Lin Tian still cannot understand the meaning of Tuoba Jianhui's words.

But it has to be admitted that Tuoba Jianhui's challenge did give him some motivation.

Lin Tian was still thinking seriously, when suddenly he realized that he seemed to be the only one talking to himself the whole time.

Is there someone missing around me?
Lin Tianyi turned his head and discovered.

At this moment, Gan Yanyu was staring at a certain place with an expressionless face, as if he was in a trance.

"Xiao Gan, classmate?"

"Yan Yu-chan!"

Lin Tian repeated loudly, and Gan Yanyu suddenly woke up. Then, she looked at Lin Tian and tilted her head.
"What's Yan Yu-chan's name?"

"It's a name that I think you're cute."

Lin Tian didn't want to explain to Gan Yanyu the origin of these words at this time, because this kind of culture was obviously too beyond the scope for Gan Yanyu.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking about Grandpa."

Gan Yanyu lowered his head and thought,

"I feel like Grandpa has changed a lot since he came to Baijing."

"Has it changed a lot?"

Lin Tian couldn’t quite get it.

In his eyes, the fact that Mr. Gan could play the cello was beyond his imagination.

However, his interaction with Mr. Gan is the same as always.
"Now is not the time to think about this."

Lin Tian rubbed Gan Yanyu's hair and said gently,

"What we need to think about now is how to win the performance against Tuoba."

How to defeat Tuoba Jianhui has now become the number one problem Lin Tian has to face.

After all, the other party is a world-class conductor.

If it is said that Gan Yanyu was brought up by Lin Tian.

There are so many performers who were personally taught and promoted by Tuoba Jianhui.

For example, Lin Tian is just a one-on-one tutor, while Tuoba Jianhui is the principal of a prestigious school.

"I think that the way to defeat Master Tuoba has already been told to us by Grandpa and Master Tuoba himself."

Gan Yanyu said.

"Respect?"

Lin Tian’s thoughts returned to this question again.

Before this, both Uncle Gan and Tuoba Jianhui spoke in a confusing way that made people a little confused.

In Lin Tian’s understanding,
What they seem to want to express is that "playing classical music" is something that needs to be taken absolutely seriously.

However, in their eyes, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu were not “serious” enough.

This is very interesting.

What does it mean to be “serious enough”?

"Perhaps, Teacher Tuoba also hopes that we can use what he told us to defeat them." Gan Yanyu said.

"."

Lin Tian was silent for a moment, finally made up his mind and stood up.

"Let's play a tune."

"Ah, ah?" Gan Yanyu raised her head and looked at Lin Tian blankly.

"If you just sit here and speculate on theories, you won't understand anything."

Lin Tian said,

"It just so happens that I have a new song that I wrote a long time ago, but I never had the chance to play it with you."

"New song?"
