Chapter 67 Tempest

The grandeur, vastness and solemnity shown in "Out of the Western Regions" shocked everyone present.

"Melody, emotion, technique, rhythm, all are masters!"

"The work is not difficult to play, probably at the level of level 100 or [-], but it is extremely dependent on the delivery of rhythm and emotion. It is difficult for ordinary people to achieve [-]% perfection, but what is certain is that such works are easy to become popular. .”

People looked at the young man standing gracefully in front of the piano, commented, and their eyes were filled with amazement.

When did such a performer appear in China?
At the end of the song, Yu Chengjiao, a visiting professor at Dongyin University, was the first to applaud, and his eyes couldn't stop admiring: "This is original? It's so rare, and our country's composition circle has added another great player!"

Gao Feiliu slapped his palms red, and shouted excitedly: "Brother Yuan is awesome!"

Zhang Chao was also happy from ear to ear, cupping his hands and clasping his fists at the pianists around him, triumphantly, as if the glory at this moment belonged to him.

Amidst the thunderous applause, almost everyone present smiled, and the smiles also contained kindness.

They are all experts in the industry. "Exodus from the Western Regions" is indeed an epic piece of music. Although it is only a solo piece, it cannot truly reach the epic level, but this does not affect the pianists' judgment.

And with this work by his side, the young man in front of him, even if he dies of mediocrity, will be famous in history.

However, composition ability belongs to composition ability. As far as Liao Yuan's current performance ability is concerned, in the eyes of hundreds of pianists at the scene, it seems that he can't help but scrutinize.

Even if he is silent.

But as long as the pianists who can enter the room almost have the experience of silent talking, when they are familiar with a piece of work, they will naturally be familiar with silent talking.

"Mr. Xi, my sister's lifelong happiness is entrusted to you!"

In the corner, a group of socialites were chattering around Xi Yun. They all had peach cheeks and apricot faces, and their pink faces were full of spring. Among them, a woman with a hot figure and a delicate appearance even grabbed Xi Yun's arm affectionately, and said coquettishly: " I like "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" very much. I go to bed after listening to the show every night. I didn't expect to meet my idol A Yuan here. Hey, my sister must introduce me. I can talk to these coquettish Bitches are different, you know, I am proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting..."

There was a strange look on Xi Yun's face. Looking at these beautiful women, a flame burst out of her heart, and she couldn't help breaking away from the beautiful women's arms, and said coldly: "He Women aren't interested."

Not interested in women?
The ladies looked shocked.

At this time, one person stepped forward and stopped Liao Yuan, who had already got up: "The piece is not bad, but I think that my brother's performance ability is far from the foundation of becoming a great pianist, no matter in terms of emotion or strength. There is a huge difference, brother, is it possible that you are Tibetan clumsy?"

Liao Yuan reluctantly touched the keys for the last time, then raised his head casually, and said casually, "Are you sick?"

The man looked astonished: "What?"

Seeing this, Gao Feiliu stepped forward and shouted, "Meng Han, what do you want to do?"

Zhang Chao also hurried forward. He knew Meng Han, but in terms of his previous status, he usually had no connection with an internationally renowned pianist like Meng Han. Simply put, he was not qualified.

But he still stood behind Liao Yuan immediately and glared at Meng Han without saying a word, although he didn't know what happened in the blink of an eye just now.

Meng Han gave Liao Yuan a cold look, and then said to Gao Fei: "Xiao Feiliu, am I right? This piece is indeed not bad, but it doesn't show the true strength of a pianist." Don't say you can't see it, this person's playing techniques and skills are only at the level of ordinary people."

Gao Feiliu poked his neck and said, "So what, what's your business? Mr. Liao was invited by me, it's not your turn to make irresponsible remarks."

Meng Han smiled slightly: "You're right, it's really none of my business."

After speaking, he turned around and sat down in front of the piano, then raised his hand and lightly pressed the first key.

thump—

The dull sound of the piano sounded, and then, like the crisp sound of big pearls and small pearls falling on a jade plate, like a bullet out of the chamber, it shot towards the surroundings with all its strength.

Everyone felt a surge of momentum rushing towards their faces!

The next moment, Meng Han's slender hands continued to perform octave jumps on the keys. After a short arpeggio, notes like a storm surged in people's ears!

Like the wind and lightning, the sound of the waves shook the sky!
Many people opened their mouths wide in an instant.

"This is... the third movement of "The Tempest Sonata"!" Someone said excitedly.

"The Tempest Sonata" was written by Beethoven after watching Shakespeare's last work "The Tempest" in his later years.

At that time, Beethoven's ear disease worsened, and he encountered many difficulties and setbacks in his personal life. He even wrote his last words and fantasized about the moment of death.

In such a mood, Beethoven began to think about various topics such as life, art, ideals, and reality, and was finally able to create this great work.

"The Tempest Sonata" has three movements in total, and the third movement played by Meng Han is the product of the soul purification of the first and second movements.

The rhythm of the whole work is as fast as the wind and rain, making people feel like they are in a torrential rain, but the enthusiasm is mixed with elegance and delicacy. sense of anticipation.

This song is a special repertoire for music education examinations in many conservatories at home and abroad. It is naturally much more difficult than the "Revolutionary March" used for art examinations. It is also similar in technical difficulty to "Brilliant Bolla Dance". Class repertoire, but in terms of emotional grasp, "Storm Sonata" is undoubtedly more difficult and dazzling.

"Wonderful! As expected of a contestant from the Chopin International Competition, Meng Han's playing skills are really impressive."

"Meng Han was born as a pianist in the Opera House. He has accumulated a lot of actual performance experience. In terms of live performance, he rarely has rivals."

"Playing such a difficult piece right from the start, is this a demonstration for Xiao Feiliu and that Mr. Liao?"

"Actually, Xiao Feiliu can also fully play the pulse of this piece, but in terms of emotional grasp, Meng Han is undoubtedly better."

"After all, there is too much difference in experience and age. No matter what piece Xiao Feiliu plays, although his skills are perfect, the lack of emotion is a regret that this age cannot make up for."

When the song ended, the audience was full of admiration.

The eyes of that group of ladies also lit up at this time.

Because Beethoven's "Sonata on the Tempest" is obviously much better than the so-called "Exodus from the Western Regions" in terms of visual effects and pitch, so they couldn't help but praise: "Mr. Meng Han It’s just that if you don’t make a show, it’s enough to make a blockbuster, in comparison, the anchor A Yuan is too vulnerable.”

"This is what a perfect pianist looks like in my mind! Teacher Meng Han is so handsome!"

"Every time I see Teacher Meng, I can't help but want to say hello, but every time I miss a good opportunity, it's probably because there is no destiny, crying!"

"I secretly said that I'm going to become Meng Han's fan!"

When the girls were chattering and discussing, Xi Yun suddenly said: "Liao Yuan can also play this piece, and he can play it no worse than Meng Han!"
