Your effort was there, but your technique is not quite there yet. Su Ran frowned a little and shared her honest opinion.
Su Ran was a pretty casual person in general. As long she didnt starve or freeze to death, she wasnt picky about much of anything else. Except when it came to music.
That was part of the reason she didnt want to tutor others in music. She worried that she couldnt help herself and blurted out her feelings bluntly.
You! You mean my performance wasnt good enough?! Hearing Su Rans critique, Song Yian looked at her in disbelief and said unconvinced.
Ugh How do I say this. How could she say it without it coming out too bluntly?
Oh, never mind. I wont say anymore. Ill just play it once. You can listen for yourself. Su Ran didnt know how to phrase her words, so she just sat down in front of the piano.
Touching the piano keys, she felt a pang of excitement.
Ayaya. She hasnt touched such a nice piano since she had transmigrated over. And her second favorite series at that.
The feel on her finger tips. The sound that it made.
The notes began to play, and Su Ran put aside her earlier excitement and focused entirely into the piece of music.
It was still the same Reminiscences de Don Juan. It was also without any error. But the emotions that it gave was entirely different than when Song Yian was playing it.
Su Rans music seemed to allow Song Yian to see a crazy drama, lively and fierce, and the final hell at the very end.
Yet Su Ran did not play it all the way to the end. She stopped at a certain point.
Well, its sort of like that She looked up at Song Yian. She was going to ask him if he got what she was trying to convey, but what she saw was a little boy with a speechless look.
Instructor Su, I was too conceited, said Song Yian with his head lowered after he remained silent for a little while.
Then, he lifted his head back up and looked at Su Ran full of admiration.
Andsnes was one of Song Yians favorite pianists, and he had performed this Reminiscences de Don Juan as well. Song Yian even brought his sister with him specifically to his concert.
However, he felt that the performance of his piano instructor, who looked very young, was even more earth-shattering than Andsness performance.
Instructor Su, my name is Song Yian. I thank you so much for letting me know how deficient I am. I look forward to learning from you. Me and my sister both.
Wait! Su Rans face changed colors all of a sudden. She interrupted Song Yian and asked him, What did you just say?
I said I look forward to learning
No, before that.
Thank you.
Before that.
Oh, I said my name is Song Yian.
