pianist from the sea

Chapter 173 The God of Jazz!

According to the imagination of Wu Hong and others, the encore repertoire after the concert should normally be rehearsed and thoroughly rehearsed, which means that the encore you hear in every concert should be almost exactly the same playing.

This is not just nonsense, but in fact many performers do this.

For example, Lang Liangyue, the strongest pianist in Huaguo at present, after every performance, especially after the performance abroad, he will basically play a piece of "Jasmine Flower" that he has adapted by himself.

This may be a habit he has developed since the beginning of playing. I remember he said at the time that the jasmine he played when he performed outside for the first time attracted many overseas Chinese, especially those in the beautiful country. Tears welled up in my eyes and face, and I kept thanking him for bringing them a lot of warmth to their hometown.

It may be because of these reasons that almost all of his encore repertoires abroad are Jasmine, or some other traditional Huaguo works.

As for performances in places with a large number of Chinese people, or in China, he likes to play the most classic western works on the encore after the performance, such as the Turkish March, Fur Elise, and Liszt's Bell.

I don’t know how many years, basically nothing has changed, and there are fewer and fewer bells playing, almost all of which are familiar works like Turkish March or Fur Elise.

Of course, it is impossible for you to ask too much for Encore’s works. This is equivalent to a plate of side dishes that the store sends you after you have finished eating in a restaurant. For example, you still have a few bottles of wine on hand. I'll give you a taste of stacked peanuts, and drink with you.

But for Wu Hong and others, this kind of encore feels a bit perfunctory or carefully designed, and even feels a bit like a part of a concert, always feeling that something is missing.

Even if all musicians do this, everyone has very low requirements for the encore repertoire of the concert, almost no requirements, it is the same.

Therefore, when they heard Fu Tiao's concert encore last time, their first reaction was surprise, a surprise different from the usual concerts, not perfunctory like Lang Liangyue, but a real surprise According to the preferences of the audience, a new encore track was released.

In a classical concert, play an encore that is mainly classical, jazz is assisted, and the two are integrated together.

As long as you have listened to classical music several times, you should be pleasantly surprised by such works, after all, such encores are almost completely inaudible.

So for Wu Hong, compared to Fu Tiao's full-length concert, he looks forward to Fu Tiao's encore more. The last time he listened to it, he felt that it was not enough at all, just like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit. I didn't taste any flavor, and what remained was only a trace of shock and unsatisfactory meaning.

When he came this time, in addition to accompanying his partner, he mainly wanted to listen to Fu Tiao's encore again, and then listen to the extremely shocking jazz version of Chopin's Fantasy Impromptu and the first song of Chopin's piano etudes. Jazz version of Fugitive Song.

but……

Wu Hong never expected that this time the encore repertoire was changed directly, and two new etudes were released, which were released as encore repertoire for everyone to listen to.

It wasn't just him, Chen Ying, who was interested in the encore repertoire around him, but only listened to it as dessert, also couldn't help opening her eyes wide.

It never occurred to her that someone would do this.

There was another one, no, no, two!Two new encore tracks.

This must have a huge repertoire library!
Except for the two of them, everyone else who chased from Berlin to Amsterdam was also dumbfounded.

Some of them and their friends who had never heard of it bragged in advance, saying that they had heard all the concerts of Fu Tiao, and that Fu Tiao would play two Chopin works adapted by Fu Tiao at the end.

As a result, this jazz work is now real jazz, and the adaptation of Chopin's works is also an adaptation of real Chopin's works.

It is this Chopin work, which is completely different from what they have heard before.

The emotions of everyone off the stage suddenly became all kinds of strange, all kinds of emotions, but they all have a unified emotion.

That is curiosity.

They are really curious about what Fu Tiao can play.

Looking at the people around him, Wu Hong couldn't help but quietly took out his mobile phone and pointed it at Fu Tiao on the stage.

Normally, photography and videography are not allowed during the main stage of a concert, and even special photographers are only allowed to take photos.

Maybe it was because before taking pictures, I needed to use a very large, very bright and very noisy flashlight, which would affect the emotions of the performers on the stage, or some other strange and special reasons, anyway, it is not allowed to take pictures.

But during the encore stage after the concert, you can shoot casually, and there is no limit to this.

For example, Li Diyun’s car rollover video at his concert looks like a lot. It has been watched for several hours, and the number of people who have watched it is almost [-] times, but these videos are not very meaningful.

These repertoires are either his encore works, which are outside the concert itself, and the overturning actually has little impact on the concert itself.

Or maybe it's a sneak shot on the way to a concert.

In addition to being unable to fully reflect the level of the performers themselves, the pirated photos in the concert may have an impact on the performers themselves, making them think too much unnecessary things when they are performing.

At the same time, it also proved that part of the audience off the stage was not listening to him at all.

So it's hard to say.

But now it's the encore stage of the concert, and it doesn't matter if you take pictures at this time, which is the main reason why Wu Hong took out his mobile phone at this time.

The last time he heard it, he was so shocked that he forgot that he could still take pictures.

This time, he had to record all of Fu Tiao's performances and listen to them more when he went back.

On stage, Fu Tiao's mood was actually very calm.

For him, the encore itself is for playing, especially when his extremely serious works are over, he always needs to use some works to relax and have fun. He doesn't think as much as those people off the stage.

As for the special preparation of encore works, reprocessing of encore works, or other messy things, Fu Tiao didn't care at all.

Encore Encore, this is a piece of cake.

No matter how deified the encore is, this is not the kind of track that can be taken out as a concert alone.

So the last time he chatted with Taylor, Sir Simon, and others for a long time, he completely let go of the choice of encore tracks.

Since it is a small surprise and welfare feedback for the audience, why do you need to be so nervous?Concentrate on how to play the encore repertoire?
Just take the works that you have already practiced and complete, and you're done!
Fu Tiao raised his hand and landed on the keyboard of the piano, which was extremely gentle, just like what was shown at the beginning of this piece by Chopin.

For works adapted from jazz, it does not need to be completely adapted from the moment the key is dropped, but needs to be specially adapted while maintaining the basic flavor of the original work to make the music more dynamic.

Therefore, Fu Tiao put his fingers on the piano keyboard in an extremely soothing manner, and pressed the first few notes of Chopin's Dongfeng etude.

These notes sound very simple, even when you look at the music score, you can feel it is very simple. Even people who just know the music score can play it directly. Even before, some people would joke that they can play Dongfeng... the first four section.

In fact, these sounds are very difficult, not because of the high technical requirements, but because of the high difficulty in controlling the timbre and the overall music.

These few tones are the introduction of this work, and also the soul of the whole work. If you want to play this work well, you must pull the beauty of these tones to the extreme.

The sensory effect of playing with aesthetic feeling is completely different from that of playing without aesthetic feeling.

When Fu Tiao's fingers fell, everyone's bodies trembled uncontrollably, and many people even had goosebumps on their hands.

This feeling is really beautiful. It's just a few notes, and even a child can play a few notes, but it can be so beautiful.

After the sound of the music paused temporarily and the tension of the music was pulled to the maximum, the violent winter wind that fell suddenly gave everyone an unparalleled sense of shock.

The beginning given by Fu Tiao is still the beginning of the traditional Dongfeng.

Even if this is not jazz, if you just listen to the beginning of this work with traditional eyes, you can still feel the shock from the bottom of your heart.

It is indeed the champion of the Chopin International Piano Competition, and it is indeed a top master.

This version interpreted by Dongfeng is really enough to enter the top few rankings of Chopin's etude version, and it is enough to make many people never tire of listening to it.

However, this is just the introduction of Fu Tiao, an introduction that Fu Tiao uses to arouse everyone's feelings about Chopin's Dongfeng etude. He just tells you that this is Chopin's Dongfeng, not completely playing Dongfeng.

Therefore, when everyone was immersed in Dongfeng's music, Fu Tiao looked at the crowd, suddenly smiled slightly, raised his hand, and changed the tone of the music.

People like to get used to it, the more familiar works, the more they like them.

When they hear a work that is different from what they feel, they will not continue to listen to it immediately, but will have doubts.

Why is this place completely different from what they heard before?

Will there be any changes in music?

Or...was it wrong?

Many people who just listened to Fu Tiao's performance were puzzled, looking at Fu Tiao with puzzlement, waiting for Fu Tiao's musical explanation.

Those of Wu Hong who have experienced Berlin are full of expectations.

The next performance must be Fu Tiao's best part, Chopin's jazz adaptation!

Anyone who has heard Fu Tiao knows that Fu Tiao is completely different from other classical music pianists. His strength in jazz is even like a performer who specializes in jazz. In fact, Fu Tiao would never pass a jazz tour concert.

Now that the music has undergone slight changes, this proves that Fu Diao...is about to introduce jazz!

Those people looked at Fu Tiao expectantly, waiting for Fu Tiao to play.

And Fu Tiao didn't have any meaning of living up to these people's expectations. His hand made an extremely skillful stop, adapting the ending position of the music from the fifth level to the first level, and turning it into a fifth level. To the fourth chord, forming an unexpected acoustic effect.

According to the music logic at the beginning, level one and level four can reach level five, but level five cannot reach level four, which is why one five one, one four one, one four five one can appear, but one cannot appear. May [-] advance.

And Fu Tiao skillfully made an obstacle to stop at this place, making the music stop halfway, and he also raised his hand, turned his head to look at the crowd, smiled slightly, and raised a finger in front of the crowd, point straight up.

The concert hall was extremely quiet, and everyone looked at Fu Tiao with anticipation in their eyes.

The blocking effect in front of me is so good, the stagnation of the music is so strong that it gives everyone an idea to continue listening.

But Fu Tiao stopped at this time and raised his hands, which aggravated the expectations of these people, and even some people's breathing began to become a little rough.

The music is becoming more and more tense, and the sense of imperfection that is not perfect is also getting stronger.

Pauses and blanks are powerful, and pauses that meet the conditions can directly pull the tension of the music to the maximum.

Under everyone's gaze, Fu Tiao's hand fell slowly according to gravity, stretched in the air, and landed on the piano.

Bang!
The fourth-level chord finally reached the fifth level again, and continued to walk in a further direction. The feeling of imperfection was instantly resolved, and what followed was a jazz progression beyond everyone's imagination.

The music instantly changed from romantic, explosive, and serious at the beginning, to humorous and humorous, with a touch of cynicism.

In addition to adapting the chords of the music, Fu Tiao also made many changes in the music that no one had thought of, giving the music a lot of changes.

Changes, countless changes, bring an unparalleled listening experience.

This kind of experience made everyone's emotions feel weird for a while, and they didn't even know what kind of emotions they should express.

Weird jazz, but...very touching.

While retaining the original main theme and harmony progression, many original parts created by Fu Diao were added to keep the music running on the stage.

"I knock? I knock? I knock?" At this moment, Wu Hong had no way to hide his inner excitement, so he almost jumped up.

He studied saxophone. In addition to the most classic works in the field of saxophone and entering the orchestra, they actually also learned a lot of jazz content.

So his sensitivity to jazz is much higher than many people around him.

After hearing the adaptation of Fu Tiao's place, he just felt numb all over, as if using some kind of small toy.

"Can this place be changed like this? Can the music of this place be written like this? Can the chords of this place be used like this?"

Wu Hong looked at Fu Tiao in disbelief, never expecting that Fu Tiao's adaptation was so outrageous.

His listening to jazz is very different from other people’s listening to jazz. When listening to jazz, he will habitually listen to the chord composition first, and then the direction, instead of purely listening to the overall sound effect.

Therefore, he can hear a lot more than other people.

Other people around listened to Fu Tiao's music and just felt extremely emotional, and even made them want to jump up, but what Wu Hong could hear was the extremely serious music brought by this extremely emotional music. , Sophisticated, impeccable musical fusion.

If the music he created before was an ordinary bicycle, then the music Fu Tiao is currently writing is a gorgeous sports car representing the pinnacle of the industry.

Not only is it more beautiful in appearance than his car, and it runs faster than his bicycle, but also has a more industrial aesthetic than his music in terms of internal structure.

All this made Wu Hong swallow a mouthful of saliva, it was hard to say how he felt in his heart.

He just felt... what Fu Tiao showed was a little too scary.

This is not something that can be proved simply by being strong. As far as the feeling shown by Fu Tiao is concerned, Wu Hongsi thought about it for a long time, but he never thought that there is someone he knows who can play such an awesome jazz at this age. of.

Unless, it is those jazz scholars who specialize in jazz, have studied it for decades, and have gray hair.

Chen Ying, who was sitting next to Wu Hong, felt that Wu Hong was trembling constantly, so she couldn't help looking at him with doubts on her face, and said curiously.

"What's the matter? Why are you shaking all the time? I didn't see you so stupid when I played until three or four o'clock last night..."

"No, didn't you hear it? Fu Tiao's music..."

Wu Hong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and even the hand holding the mobile phone was a little unsteady: "You who learn the piano may be shocked by his normal performance, but I actually learn half classical and half jazz. His This jazz is more awesome than his previous classical ones!

It's not just how long it's been practiced, but the storage capacity of the repertoire library is huge. This is the reappearance of the god of jazz! "

"Huh? Really? I can only feel that Fu Diao plays well, his technique is strong, and the effect of the adaptation is very good. I can't hear the others..."

Listening to Wu Hong's words, Chen Ying couldn't help scratching her head in distress, then looked at Fu Tiao, and for some reason, she couldn't help but sighed softly.

"However, if you want to become such a character, how many beatings do you have to suffer..."

　Fight for eight o'clock tomorrow
