Chapter 164 Jazz Encore
"I still have... Encore?"

Fu Tiao pursed his lips with a complicated expression, and whispered, "I still have this thing? Why didn't I do it before? No one told me about it?"

Fu Tiao knows about Encore, and Encore actually means a small song similar to an encore, or a few short passages after the end of the cross talk. Normally, everyone will prepare some to keep on their backs.

If I perform well and the audience is enthusiastic, then I will encore some works that are more popular with the public. If the performance is too poor and the audience has no idea, then just find a few short works and run away after the performance.

For example, Lang Liangyue's normal encore repertoire is "Jasmine Flower". Especially when he is abroad, every time he encores, he must play Jasmine Flower as the ending work.

This jasmine flower is not the jasmine flower that everyone normally hears, but a more difficult jasmine flower that has been adapted by himself, and many dazzling things have been added to it.

Do you sound good?In fact, that's the case, no matter how nice the jasmine flower is, it can be heard anywhere, especially for the people of Huaguo.

But you're talking about showing off your skills?His previous works were basically the pinnacle of showing off his skills, but there is something missing in Jasmine Showing off his skills again.

Therefore, it can only be regarded as the fortune cookie that foreign Chinese restaurants definitely give you after every meal.

You can’t eat it in China, no one will give you this thing, but it’s rare in foreign countries. Many foreigners come here specifically to listen to Lang Liangyue’s performance of jasmine, and then shouted with great excitement, “This is Huaguo!” Words such as "What an interesting Huaguo work" and "Modern works full of national characteristics!"

So has Fu Tiao prepared such works?
Fu Tiao thought about it, but for a while, he really couldn't think of what kind of work he could produce, which could show off his skills and be full of Huaguo characteristics at the same time.

After all, there was no such thing as an encore in his previous concerts or competitions. If Sir Simon, who was sitting by the door, hadn't reminded him, Fu Tiao would have almost forgotten that he had an encore.

So what else is encore?

Fu Tiao couldn't help but look at Sir Simon.

If I remember correctly, Fu Tiao remembers that someone suddenly played a large section of Rachmaninov's Second Piano Concerto when she was in an encore. I was stunned, I didn't expect to play this when I came back, so I had no choice but to continue playing with her for more than half an hour.

Is this person Wang Jia or Argerich?I kind of forgot, anyway, that scene at that time was very classic, and it can be called the most dramatic scene in the history of Encore.

For the price of one concert, hear two concertos.

Then yourself...

Fu Tiao looked at Sir Simon, seeing Sir Simon frightened all the time, and immediately interrupted Fu Tiao's sight.

Sir Simon said very seriously: "Dior, you don't want to have an encore of the concerto, do you? We haven't rehearsed, and I will not agree to have another encore of the concerto with you, no matter which work ,Will not work."

"I didn't think so, I was just dazed thinking about what I should play..."

Fu Tiao reluctantly changed the subject, denied it, then continued to raise his head, thinking at the blackboard above his head.

The people outside the room were still applauding rhythmically, shouting encore, trying to drag Fu Tiao back.

But Fu Tiao can't pull out any of Encore's works now, what is he doing on stage?Play jazz?

Ok?
Fu Tiao was taken aback for a moment, suddenly thought of something, and then couldn't help laughing wryly.

Did I just play classical music in my head every day, making my brain stiff?Actually forgot this.

Fu Tiao couldn't help looking at Sir Simon, pointed to his feet, and asked him, "By the way... in this place, can I perform all my works?"

"Of course! As long as you like, but be careful not to take too long."

Sir Simon nodded with a smile, then suddenly remembered something, stretched out a hand and nodded his head, with an extremely tangled expression, hesitantly remarked: "Oh, yes, although... I don't know if you have faith or other What, but, I have to tell you, that is... You can play the works as you like, but there is a problem! If you want to play those religious types, or some that are not in line with normal values works, or works that involve racial discrimination, these works, you'd better not touch them."

After that, he looked at Fu Tiao with a hint of helplessness: "I'm sorry, although my memory is not very good, but I still remember this point. By the way, what are you going to play? You better give me some peace of mind."

"Sir..." Fu Tiao said immediately, then looked at Sir Simon, and asked, "Is this okay?"

"Well... it should be possible, provided that you play the jazz you created yourself, not the jazz created by others." Sir Simon reminded Fu Tiao: "Playing modernist works, those copyright dealers There is a fee."

"Okay, I know."

Fu Tiao nodded with a smile.

Now that Sir Simon's consent has been obtained, I'm so lazy to think about the return of the works I am good at, and just come to a little jazz, right?
Anyway, things like jazz... don't have any direction in themselves, and anyone can play a rough shape.

……

The applause outside the room continued, but there was some doubt in everyone's mind. According to normal habits, the performers should come out for the encore at this time, right?It's impossible to applaud so many times without coming out, right?
There are some people who don't applaud for so long, but they always feel that they are not so right, and they don't feel particularly comfortable.

However, just when everyone's applauding hands were about to get sore and their hearts were full of doubts, the lights on the stage gradually dimmed, and the lights in the middle of the stage became stronger again. Everyone suddenly understood what was going on, and immediately returned to their seats full of excitement. In the position, waiting for Fu Tiao's performance.

click...

The back door of the stage opened, Fu Tiao walked out from the door, smiled and waved to everyone, under the sight of everyone, Fu Tiao sat on the piano bench, staring at the keyboard in front of him without any movement for a long time.

Everyone in the concert hall looked at Fu Tiao like this, and their voices couldn't help but quiet down. They sat upright, looked at Fu Tiao very seriously, and waited for his performance.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that Fu Tiao didn't start playing immediately, but looked at the crowd and smiled maliciously at them.

"Sorry, it may be a slightly different Chopin, I hope you like it."

Everyone was stunned, but before realizing what Fu Tiao was referring to by the different Chopin, Fu Tiao's hand had already landed on the piano.

when!
A very common chord falls on the keyboard of the piano.

With this chord, you can only hear that Fu Tiao's control over the timbre is really amazing. His kung fu is completely mastered, but you can't hear what Fu Tiao wants to play at all.

Bang...

There was another chord, and everyone was still at a loss, unable to hear anything.

However, at this time, Fu Tiaoque turned his face away, and said to everyone with a smile, "Oh, by the way, this is Fantasia Impromptu."

A name that almost everyone has heard appeared in front of everyone.

Chopin, Fantastic Impromptu.

It is a classic full-length three-to-four rhythm work, which is the first work that many students come into contact with when they are just starting to learn irregular counterpoint performance.

This work is not difficult to say, simple is not easy, as an encore track is generally very common, many people will choose this work to cater to the audience.

After all, there are many people listening to this thing, it sounds good, it's fast, and it's on top.

But the feeling of Fu Tiao playing now is completely different.

The beginning of Fu Tiao was extremely slow, and it took a long time to press a note.

Is this a Fantasia Impromptu?Can't even move?
Just when everyone could hardly hear anything, Fu Diao's speed increased slowly, and became faster and faster.

In fact, compared to fantasy impromptu, this opening is more like the popular work "rush E"

When it was about to enter the theme, Fu Tiao's music finally came to the position that a normal fantasy impromptu should be.

It sounds as if Fu Tiao just did a quickening in front, but in fact, it's not just that.

After the music entered the main theme, Fu Tiao's hands seemed to let go of the restraint, and ran quickly on the keyboard.

Originally very familiar melody, on top of the basic inner chords, Fu Diao has added many, many tones that are unique to jazz chords.

It sounds like they are about the same, but in fact, there is a huge difference between the two.

This strange feeling made everyone's eyes light up.

Many people did not expect that at such a serious concert, Fu Tiao, as the representative of this year's Chopin International Piano Competition, should normally be very serious. After all, he is still a classical musician after all, but he was in Such funny music was made on the stage.

There is even a little bit of cynicism in it.

Jazz itself has a vitality that is completely different from classical music. In many cases, he can easily mobilize everyone's emotions and make everyone laugh.

Fu Tiao's left hand kept making big jumps. After hooking the low bass with his little finger, the other four fingers spanned three or four octaves, flew directly to the center of the keyboard, and pressed the chords.

It sounds simple, but in fact, it is extremely difficult.

Not only requires extremely high accuracy, but also requires a lot of physical strength.

Fu Tiao's arms danced back and forth on the keyboard, looking for the position of each chord precisely, and the waving of his arms even made people feel dizzy.

If someone can point a camera at Fu Tiao's hand at this time, you will completely find that unless special shooting equipment is used to shoot, as long as it is an ordinary camera, it is basically impossible to capture Fu Tiao's hand.

The speed was so fast that the arm was flying in the air without stopping the whole time.

You may even wonder, did Fu Diao's fingers touch the keys?
Can the keyboard produce sound without touching the keys now?

It's really too outrageous, so outrageous that many people who learn the piano turn pale.

The former Wu Hong who bought tickets for his girlfriend at a high price raised his hand blankly, waved his arm tentatively, and then heaved a long sigh.

It's too scary. When I listened to Fu Tiao's interpretation of the music before, I didn't feel so scary. After all, the speed was not as fast as it is now.

However, Fu Tiao's speed now is just the speed of simply waving his arms. Wu Hong just experimented for a long time, and he felt that he might not be able to swing like Fu Tiao.

Even if your arm is just stiff and your wrist is flying up and down, he can't reach Fu Tiao's level.

Seeing that Fu Tiao's face was going stiff, he couldn't help but ask his girlfriend, "Ying, you...you can masturbate, no, can you play so fast?"

"I play so fast?" Chen Ying, who is Wu Hong's partner, looked at Wu Hong with a strange expression, and asked directly: "If I could play so well, would I still be with you? It’s the same as going on a world tour, okay?”

"His arm moves so fast, I just tried it for a long time and I can't match his speed..."

"Don't think about it, I tried it too, and I don't have his speed, so don't even think about it if you play the saxophone."

"This... how long does this have to be the hand speed of being single?"

Wu Hong looked at Fu Tiao and couldn't help but envy.

He may not understand other things, and he can only hear a general idea of ​​Chopin, but now watching jazz, he can directly see Fu Tiao's awesomeness thoroughly.

He really couldn't imagine that human hands could play so fast.

Not only that.

Wu Hong hastily rubbed his head to calm down his mood, stop being so amateurish, just watch how fast other people's hands are flying, and focus on the music.

When Wu Hong started listening to Fu Tiao's jazz with his saxophone head, he was shocked again.

"What the hell... Can this chord be used like this? No, why can this chord be used like this?"

He was at a loss. He just heard a very strange dissonant chord appear in the music. Normally speaking, this should be a complete mistake, even if it is regarded as jazz, it is the wrong kind.

But this chord, such an abrupt chord, Fu Tiao actually put it in the main theme, and at the same time solved this extremely tense chord through several chords, and then used more tense and unconventional chords to fight against it. Make the chord just now into a climax.

He even guessed that all the audience had a stereotype of this chord, and he deliberately pulled out this chord and the melody with this chord, played it three or four times again, and used seven or eight solutions.

This is Jazz?
Wu Hong rubbed his head in pain. He felt his head was itchy, and he felt that his brain was about to grow.

If you pull out the chord just now as a topic for him to do, he may also make a level of 80 points, which may not be very pleasant.

But Fu Tiao easily made a perfect score, and even showed him seven or eight different solutions.

It was as if he was purely playing music, rather than playing music.

Wu Hong, who has this kind of talent and level of listening, is really one head and two big.

He clasped his head and pulled his hands from the top of his head to his eyelids, with an extremely desperate expression.

He looked at his object and asked in pain: "Ying, you say me, am I a waste?"

Chen Ying was also shocked by the jazz adaptation shown by Fu Tiao at this moment, and she said in a daze without passing through her mind: "If you have to compare with Fu Tiao, I think you may not even be as good as trash..."

After finishing speaking, she came to her senses suddenly, stretched out her hand and patted her partner, and comforted her: "I'm sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to say that you are inferior, I just..."

She looked at Fu Tiao who was flying her fingers on the stage, and couldn't help swallowing: "I'm just so shocked."

"Yeah, it's too shocking, who can stand it, even jazz music, which is under the chain of contempt by classical music."

Wu Hong said in pain.

The most painful thing in life is not that you can't see the light, but that you see the light, but find that you are so far away from the light that it makes you despair.

Those professors in the piano department are actually all right. They have long known that Fu Tiao's basic piano skills are solid and his understanding of music is very good, so in fact, when they heard Fu Tiao's jazz, they just smiled knowingly and casually I began to appreciate Fu Tiao's interpretation.

The point is that those who do not have a good understanding of Fu Tiao, the students of the piano department are in the second category.

Those who learn other musical instruments are the third category like Wu Hong, who can't hear the basic skills of Fu Tiao at all, and then they are completely shocked.

As for those who came to join in the fun, many people couldn't understand Chopin, and couldn't tell the difference between good and bad, but after hearing Fu Tiao's encore work, a small adaptation of a work that was only a few minutes long, they immediately I have thoroughly understood Fu Tiao's music, and know how powerful Fu Tiao is.

I can't understand Chopin, can't I understand how fast it is?
Not only that, there are also a group of jazz learners who happened to come to listen to Fu Tiao, and they happened to hear this one, which made them even more miserable.

Why is it that someone who is so strong in classical music can be so strong in jazz?
This is too scary.

They really felt the crushing of their strength and talent, to the point where they couldn't hold their heads up.

No one in the concert hall spoke until the end of Fu Tiao's music.

The silence among them is deeper and darker than the previous silence about classical music.

Many of them even slumped in their positions and lost their color, like salted fish, just wanting to be rotten.

Now many of them finally understand the meaning of this championship tour concert, how can this be called exchange and learning?This is all about showing off!

Pinch mom, are you so strong and polite?
A group of people looked at Fu Tiao with unspeakable expressions in their eyes.
