Chapter 107 Shi Kuang

Xiao Qingfeng affirmed, "Of course!"

Lin Yu's face was extremely ugly: "Impossible, this absolutely cannot be your composition. Even Mozart and Beethoven could not have written such a piece!"

Xiao Qingfeng glanced at him: "Haven't you heard that literature is a gift from heaven and a masterpiece is a stroke of luck? The same goes for music."

What do you mean by that?

"You can think of this piece as a message from a god to me in a dream!" Xiao Qingfeng said with a smile.

Looking at Xiao Qingfeng's smile, Lin Yu felt extremely insulted.

Xiao Qingfeng's words were tantamount to saying that he was the god, and that he himself was just a mortal compared to him.

"May I ask what the name of this piece of music is?"

Suddenly, a gentle and humble voice came from behind.

At this moment, everyone looked toward the source of the sound and saw an elderly man with a kind face and gray hair walk up.

All eyes were on the old man. Although his hair was white, he was vigorous and his eyes were wise and peaceful, as if he had gained profound insight into the world after years of experience.

His steps were steady and powerful, each step carrying a restrained elegance.

He wore a simple yet elegant black suit, with a white silk scarf at the collar adding to his refined and scholarly air.

His slightly upturned lips revealed his amiable and approachable nature, making people want to get close to him. He exuded a unique aura.

"It's Shi Kuang, that world-class pianist!"

Someone in the crowd recognized the old man.

Suddenly, a little girl whispered, "Isn't Shi Kuang Shi Shengjie's father, and also his grandmaster?"

As the little girl spoke, she glanced at Lin Yu beside her.

Seeing this, Lin Yu quickly stepped forward and excitedly asked, "Master, what brings you here?"

Shi Kuang didn't have time to pay attention to him: "Don't say anything, stand aside!"

He then walked over to Xiao Qingfeng and asked again, "May I ask, sir, if you could tell me the name of this piece of music?"

Although Xiao Qingfeng majored in popular music, he had heard of the person in front of him very well.

Shi Kuang, a legendary figure who shines brightly in the world of music, is not only a world-class pianist but also a representative of contemporary classical music.

At the same time, Shi Kuang is also an honorary professor of classical music at the Kyoto Conservatory of Music. With his rigorous teaching attitude and rich teaching experience, he has cultivated generation after generation of outstanding musical talents.

Besides the piano, Shi Kuang was also proficient in stringed instruments such as the guzheng and pipa. His mastery of various instruments was superb, and he could switch freely between different instruments to showcase different musical styles.

Xiao Qingfeng looked at the old man: "This piece of music is called 'A Maiden's Prayer'."

Shi Kuang frowned slightly, pondered the matter carefully, then relaxed his brows and smiled broadly: "Thank you, I understand."

"When I listened to you play just now, I felt that the beautiful emotions in the piece were mixed with a touch of sadness. This sadness was not a heavy grief, but rather like the confusion and melancholy of a young girl facing the unknown in the process of growing up, which made the emotions of the music richer and more delicate!"

Xiao Qingfeng nodded: "Master Shi is right. I didn't expect that you could feel the emotional changes in the piece on your first listen."

Upon hearing Xiao Qingfeng's praise, Shi Kuang was taken aback.

For decades, I have been the one commenting on and praising younger generations, but I never expected to be praised by a young man today.

Anyone else would have been angry, but Shi Kuang remained silent for a while, then suddenly laughed.

Hearing this, the granddaughter Shi Lili looked displeased. She was about to stand up for her grandfather when the old man stopped her with a look.

Shi Kuang looked at Xiao Qingfeng and asked again, "Did you really write this song?"

Xiao Qingfeng laughed and said, "Old man, this piece of music comes from another world, another world in my dreams!"

Shi Kuang was not angry at Xiao Qingfeng's ambiguous answer; instead, he nodded seriously.

After all, every musician has an ideal world in their heart, and in his opinion, the other world that Xiao Qingfeng talked about is his ideal world.

Shi Kuang nodded and said, "I have learned a lot today, thank you!"

"Your piece is comparable to world-famous masterpieces and is worthy of being circulated throughout the world!"

Lin Yu was completely stunned by Shi Kuang's words!

He could refute this if someone else had said it, but it was his teacher's father who said it. How could he possibly refute it?

Moreover, the fact that Shi Kuang said these words was enough to elevate Xiao Qingfeng to the status of a world-class pianist, and no one would find it inappropriate.

Shi Lili was equally shocked and speechless. She had never heard her grandfather praise anyone like that before, as far back as she could remember.

Xiao Qingfeng readily accepted the compliment and said, "Thank you!"

Shi Kuang said, "May I ask your name? Perhaps we can exchange contact information?"

These words caused another uproar among the surrounding crowd.

Is there anyone in China who doesn't know Xiao Qingfeng?

But when they considered the other person's age and field of expertise, everyone felt relieved.

After all, although the entertainment industry permeates all aspects of life, there are always some people who don't like this field and naturally won't care about the people and things in the industry. It's normal that they don't know Xiao Qingfeng.

Xiao Qingfeng did not refuse and exchanged contact information with Shi Kuang.

After exchanging contact information, Xiao Qingfeng noticed the old man's hesitant expression and asked, "Do you still want the sheet music for this piece?"

Shi Kuang's eyes immediately lit up, and he asked, "Is that alright?"

As soon as the words left my mouth, I realized I had been too hasty.

This piece was, after all, Xiao Qingfeng's original composition. It would be extremely rude of me to ask for someone else's music for no reason.

Xiao Qingfeng: "Sure, no problem!"

After speaking, Xiao Qingfeng asked the surrounding crowd, "Does anyone have paper and pen with them?"

The girl who had been filmed up close immediately raised her hand and said, "I have one!"

After saying that, he took out paper and pen from his bag.

Xiao Qingfeng thanked him, then leaned over the piano and began to write.

Then, in less than ten minutes, the complete sheet music for "The Maiden's Prayer" was presented to everyone.

Xiao Qingfeng tore off the paper and handed it to Shi Kuang without hesitation.

"I can tell you really like this piece of music, so please take it. Don't be shy!"

It's not that Xiao Qingfeng is generous, but rather that he doesn't intend to make money from piano music, since pop music is his main profession.

Furthermore, given Shi Kuang's status in classical music, this piece would only enhance his fame and benefit him.

Shi Kuang accepted the musical score from Xiao Qingfeng with both hands as if it were a precious treasure, and thanked him repeatedly.

Xiao Qingfeng quickly led Zhuo Ziqi away from the piano store. After Lin Yu's commotion, so many people had gathered at the store, so the piano purchase would have to wait until next time.

However, not long after Xiao Qingfeng left, a video of him playing the piano circulated online.
