Hearing Qianxun’s words, Elder Zhao said with so worry, "Of course, I also thought about using drums, but it’s not easy to compose music for them."
Because drums do not have a fixed pitch, whether they can produce an impactful sound largely depends on the drumr’s skill.
If the drumr is a good player, even without a musical score, it can still have an inspirational effect.
Qianxun imdiately understood.
She then smiled and said, "Elder Zhao, don’t worry, you just need to indicate the rhythm. Do you have a drum here? I can play a piece for you."
At these words, Elder Zhao’s eyes lit up. "You know how to play drums?"
"I know a little," Qianxun replied with a light smile.
"Let’s go! We’ll head to the music room!" After all, he had a drum! And it was a fine one too.
...
Soon, Qianxun followed Elder Zhao to his music room.
As soon as Qianxun entered, a large drum appeared before her.
Walking up to the nearly two-ter-long drum, Qianxun picked up the drumsticks that were set aside.
The next mont, she said to Elder Zhao, "Elder Zhao, the sound might be a bit loud, you better wear so headphones."
After all, Elder Zhao was old, and it wouldn’t be good if the loud drumming affected his heart.
Hearing Qianxun’s words, Elder Zhao paused for a mont, then smiled, "Alright. Secretary Li..."
Secretary Li imdiately nodded and quickly brought a pair of headphones to Elder Zhao.
The headphones were not completely soundproof, but they would provide so isolation.
After Elder Zhao put on the headphones, Qianxun nodded at him and then swung the drumsticks down onto the drum.
"Boom!"
The deep and resonant drum sound rang out.
Initially, the drum beats were not very dense, but as the climax approached, the rhythm quickened, and Qianxun’s hands swung faster and faster.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Even through the headphones, Elder Zhao could feel the inspiring nature of the drum composition.
For a mont, he couldn’t help but watch Qianxun with sparkling eyes.
This child could produce such a forceful drum composition, which surprised him greatly.
And if Qianxun alone could create such an impact, the effect of thousands drumming together would be astonishing, sothing Elder Zhao could easily imagine!
With this thought, Elder Zhao beca excited, his mind brimming with ideas.
...
When Qianxun finished the piece, Elder Zhao took off his headphones and repeatedly praised her: "Excellent, excellent, excellent, Qianxun, you have truly amazed ! Thanks to your piece, I’ve got an inspiration now! Secretary Li, quick!"
Secretary Li had been with Elder Zhao for many years and naturally understood his habits.
Imdiately, he calmly passed over so musical staff paper and a pen.
Elder Zhao then leaned over a timpani, and began to write and sketch fervently.
Qianxun didn’t disturb him, and her gaze swept over the other musical instrunts in Elder Zhao’s music room.
She was familiar with traditional Chinese instrunts like the pipa, guzheng, and xiao flute, and could play them effortlessly.
However, she had never encountered Western instrunts like pianos and violins.
Thus, Qianxun’s gaze quickly fell on the piano.
She approached and curiously touched the black and white keys, her mind naturally recalling the thods of playing the piano as described in books.
If she weren’t afraid of disturbing Elder Zhao, she would have loved to try it right then.
And the violin, often called the Empress of musical instrunts and known for its difficult playing techniques, also piqued Qianxun’s interest.
