His Glamorous Reborn Wife novel Chapter 899

"Is that so?" Yue Yu was intrigued. Shi Jin had such an ability?

I wonder what award it is? How valuable is it? Is it a useless prize given to people in the entertainment industry?'

"A very prestigious piano performance award. I can't remember what it's called at the moment," Yue banchen said. "I'm sure your four-hand duet will be wonderful."

Seeing that Yue banchen was being rowdy, the Yue Feng couple smiled and shook their heads. It was a rare good day, so they did not restrain them.

Shi Jin did not want to disappoint Yue banchen and said, "Alright, I'll give it a try. Yue Yu, are you willing to play with me?"

Yue Yu nodded. "I heard you won an award. Shall we try a harder song?"

"No problem. You choose the piece."

"Rachmaninoff's Third Piano Concerto, then," Yue Yu said.

"Good! Good!" Everyone applauded.

Yue banchen also applauded.

However, Madam Yue knew that this song was very difficult. This was known as the most difficult song in the piano world. Not only did it have many double notes and massive intervals between notes, but it also required extremely high physical strength to play.

Someone had described the difficulty of the piece

—"Rachmaninoff is cast in steel and gilt. Steel is his arm. Gold is his mind."

Which was exactly why Rachmaninoff's music was most prized.

When Rachmaninoff himself had first performed as a piano soloist in New York, he had jokingly called his concerto "the work of an elephant," comparing its sheer size and weight.

A well-known music scholar once described the physical cost of playing the piece as "scooping ten tons of coal." The difficulty was evident.

Madam Yue knew that Yue Yu often practiced this song, but Shi Jin might not have practiced it as well.

She smiled and said, "Xiao Yu, isn't this too difficult to appreciate? Change it to something easier for me to appreciate."

Yue Yu could tell that she was protecting Shi Jin, but she insisted on doing so. She said, "Aiya, Mom, Shi Jin has already won an award. There won't be a problem, right, Shi Jin?"

Shi Jin saw a smile and did not want to delve deeper into her other intentions. She nodded. "Yes, I can try."

"Right? You heard what Shi Jin said."

Those who did not understand would not know how difficult this song was. However, Old Madam Yue and Old Master Li also knew a little about it. Naturally, they knew how the choice of this song would be.

Yue Xiu had practiced it with Yue Yu in the past. She could not keep up with the double notes and had long given up on this song.

Old Madam Yue smiled and said, "The children really like to fool around."

"They're happy. Let them have their fun," Old Master Li said as he picked up his teacup and drank.

Yue Xiu stood behind them, feeling that Shi Jin might make a fool of herself.

Playing this song had nothing to do with whether she had won the championship or not. The person who had more experience practicing the song would succeed.

Especially since it required a certain amount of stamina.

Artists often dieted and lost weight in order to maintain their figures. It was always difficult to say that their stamina was good.

At that time, everyone would see that Shi Jin could not keep up with the pace of Yue Yu.

No one knew how difficult this song was, so they naturally wouldn't think that Shi Jin couldn't keep up because of the song. They would only think that Shi Jin's previous piano award was too fake.

Yue Lanchen lifted the piano frame cover and gestured for them to begin.

Yue Yu took the lead and sat down. Shi Jin followed suit.

"This is the first time we've played a four-handed duet. We might not have enough chemistry. Please forgive us," Yue Yu said to everyone.
