Professor Guo felt very gratified; he liked such proactive young people, and there were only four young people at this symposium, the others were either middle-aged or elderly, with little room for progress.
Therefore, the future development of the association still relies on a batch of fresh blood.
Besides the exceptionally noticeable Luo Susu, the other person was Gong Yi.
"As our little genius from Chuzhou City, Xiaoyi, is there anything you want to play?" Professor Guo, who had already returned to his seat, asked as Gong Yi approached the piano.
Others looked at Gong Yi with anticipation.
After all, the piano association didn’t have many members and its circle wasn’t large, so almost all the piano experts in Chuzhou City were familiar with each other.
Hearing such praise from Professor Guo, Gong Yi felt a bit embarrassed, even though he thought the same, but with Luo Susu sitting not far away, his heart was filled with motivation.
"Hello Professor, hello everyone, I want to play ’Forgive Me for Being Overwhelmed.’" Gong Yi replied.
"’Forgive Me for Being Overwhelmed’?" To be honest, Professor Guo had listened to countless pieces, but he hadn’t heard of this one, and couldn’t help but curiously ask,
"Who wrote this?"
Other than Lin Xi and Luo Susu, everyone else was equally puzzled, exchanging glances, unsure about the piece, and couldn’t help but become curious.
The circle of piano pieces is smaller than that of songs, and the amount is lesser too.
So generally, experts know almost all pieces, unless they are not well-known or are quite niche.
Luo Susu recalled something and slightly furrowed her brows, whereas Lin Xi, he was indifferent to what Gong Yi played; to him, it was just whatever.
"I wrote it myself." A trace of pride appeared on Gong Yi’s face, his gaze fixed on Luo Susu, as he continued, "This piece is dedicated to a girl I like. I hope that in my lifetime, I have the opportunity to care for her and protect her."
Professor Guo was immediately filled with surprise and delight, not expecting that at such a young age, Gong Yi could even write his own music; the others were also amazed and had to concede to age.
Then it was time for Gong Yi to perform.
Indeed, being lauded as the little genius of Chuzhou City was not unfounded. As soon as he hit the first few notes, it was evident, sparking another round of exclamations from Professor Guo and the others.
The key point was, the piece he wrote himself sounded, from an auditory standpoint, quite rough and immature in several places, but achieving this at his age was already remarkable.
Of course, the style and content of the piece were not to their liking.
Because, by age, there were just a few young ones here, the others had children of their own, but that did not hinder their ability to judge the quality of the piece.
Afterwards, amid resounding applause, Professor Guo was the first to offer his feedback, following which others also shared their opinions, all generally recognizing Gong Yi’s piece.
Though Gong Yi was strong in skills, he knew some things were not necessarily known by everyone.
Back in his seat, Gong Yi clung to Lin Xi like a piece of sticky candy, saying to Lin Xi, "Brother, it felt good, right? I am confident in my piano skills."
"Just average." Lin Xi replied.
He wasn’t speaking nonsense; the piano piece expressed something too simple and straightforward, relying merely on imagination, it had no distinction between good and bad, at most it was entertaining, and during Gong Yi’s performance, emotions never really came through.
PS: Thanks to "My love Y" for the 100-point reward, and to "Xiaoyao Zizai" for the 100-point reward, there’s still one more Chapter, but it’s already very late, everyone should get some rest early.
