pianist from the sea

Chapter 187 The Second Creation of Jazz Encore and Listening
For Fu Tiao, playing jazz is as easy as eating and drinking. Whether it is an adaptation or writing his own works, it is very simple.

For him, whether it is the adaptation of Chopin's Nocturne Op9No2, or the adaptation of Clock and Moonlight, it is the same.

After Fu Diao and other people who should pick up their mobile phones picked up their mobile phones, and those who didn't take their mobile phones sat still, they shook their hands and shoulders very easily, making themselves look much more relaxed, and then smiled at everyone Laughing, lift one finger and land lightly on middle A.

This is not the sound of the music he wants to play, it has nothing to do with the music he wants to play.

The note he played is like the calibration of string or orchestra before the performance begins.

He changed the finger that was holding A to the other hand, then raised the finger that had just held A and shook it at the crowd, attracting everyone's attention, and then nodded his ear.

"listen……"

The vibrating sound of the piano strings gradually slowed down, and the sound in the concert hall became equally silent as the sound fell.

Accompanied by this tranquility, Fu Tiao raised his hands slightly, and slowly landed on the keyboard. His body was calm and there was no movement, only the knuckles of his fingers pressed down slightly.

When, when...

An extremely calm and soft tone came out of the piano, and a trembling that was soft to the bone slowly climbed up the tailbone and rushed straight to the top of the head.

Chopin's Nocturne, Op9, No2, is the softest among the nocturnes, as soft as the breeze blowing silk across the face.

Fu Tiao's control over Chopin was fully demonstrated at this time.

And this is not the end, it seems to be just a beginning.

The chords used as left-hand accompaniment are completely different from the traditional Op9-2 Nocturne, and Fu Tiao uses very traditional jazz chords here.

Change the texture of the music and make the music completely different.

Andre's eyes lit up when he listened to Fu Tiao's performance.

He didn't understand half of the classical music before, but now he understands this jazz!
This is a very traditional jazz chord, which is nothing new in writing, but the arrangement of Fu Tiao is very interesting.

"This chord is interesting!"

Andre couldn't help being a little excited when he heard it, he poked Luca on the side, and explained to him in a low voice: "The sus2 with the thirteenth chord conversion just now, and then went to DD7, 91113, this is a bit clever! Although it is nothing Very rare jazz chords, but every progression is beyond my expectation, and you just have one that is interesting?"

Luka glanced at Andre beside him and didn't speak, while Andre spoke on his own.

"Fu Tiao did not actually adapt most of the rhythm of this work in this work, have you noticed? This work was originally a three-time work like a waltz. Fu Tiao did not adapt it for jazz. And specially adapted this three-time work into the swing feeling of jazz, but continued to walk according to the feeling of waltz, and put his attention completely on the chords!"

Andre's voice was very low, and it didn't affect other people at all, and he even felt a little bit talking to himself.

He stared at Fu Tiao's performance in front of him, listening to Fu Tiao's interpretation on music, his eyes became brighter the more he listened to it, and he kept rubbing his hands and arms, he always felt that his goosebumps could be heard up.

This feeling of jazz, this adaptation of classics, this interpretation, this is great!

He whispered excitedly.

"Wow, did you hear that? Listen to this! Really! Oh my god, this chord is really beautiful, I love the tangled feeling in this chord, the emotion I always feel in classical music before The expression may not be particularly good, the feeling of entanglement that you need to know this piece of work in order to be able to feel that kind of entanglement is now so clearly and refreshingly interpreted by Fu Ta?"

"This jazz level is great. Even if this work is relatively slow overall, and the overall progress speed is not fast, you can completely hear it from his chord writing. How high is the level of harmony formation! This level is okay!"

Although Andre's voice didn't affect the people behind him, Luka who was sitting on the side got annoyed, glanced at him, stretched out his hand and pushed his close face to the side, and said angrily, "Go and talk by yourself. , don’t rely on me to say, I still want to listen.”

"Oh yes, listen first, listen first!"

Andre suddenly realized that he was a little lost in excitement, scratched his head in embarrassment, leaned forward and continued to stare at Fu Tiao, listening carefully to Fu Tiao's performance.

As he said before, Fu Tiao is perfect in the composition of harmony, the use of jazz chords, and the interpretation of the original song. You can't find any shortcomings in these contents. .

It can even be hailed as a representative of textbooks.

If you have to look for problems and shortcomings, it means that the use of many chords in Fu Tiao is a little bit old-fashioned, and some chord trends created by modern people can't be seen in Fu Tiao's music.

But Andre thinks this is not a bad thing, on the contrary, this pure, traditional jazz chord progression is more attractive to him.

This classical jazz interpretation of Chopin’s Nocturne Op9 No2 does not only have a pure jazz feeling, on the contrary, the classical feeling in this work is also strong, it is the kind of adaptation that you can’t even tell whether it is classical or jazz .

The level of works adapted on the basis of retaining the original flavor is no longer generally strong.

"Fu Tiao's level of jazz feels that going out alone to give a set of jazz concerts is not a problem."

Andre watched Fu Tiao's performance and couldn't help but praise.

Luca on the side was stunned for a moment, and then said in a bad mood: "Jazz concerts? How many people listen to jazz concerts now? If you go to play a popular piano concert, there may be more people listening. Jazz concerts now feel less popular than classical concerts.”

"What you said is true, but the use of jazz is more than that of classical, right? For example, many movies in the beautiful country have recently focused on jazz music and country music, and jazz has a wide range of work. Yes, I've taken on a few soundtrack jobs recently."

"That's you, you're Andre, professor at Berlin University of the Arts Andre, other jazz players don't have as many job opportunities as you."

Luka looked at Andre and didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh helplessly, then turned his head and continued to look at Fu Tiao.

Fu Diao didn't know the discussion between the two people off the stage. For him, he only cares about the music.

Play as you like, interpret according to your own mood, don't care about other chores, just think about your own music.

For him, jazz is for playing. If there is a concert in the future, he may specially prepare a batch of works for encore, but now these concerts of his, the encore after the concert But, he's just there for fun.

No other thoughts at all.

He didn't even think about showing off his technology, or showing himself, improving his commercial value, and making his music more popular.

Concerts are such a thing, I just play, you listen, everyone plays music together and it’s over, what do you want to do so much?

Especially this ending encore.

Fu Tiao may be a little more serious about the dinner at the concert, and he often thinks about his understanding of Chopin when performing works, but this encore as a dessert, Fu Tiao can really let it go .

As for why the audience was asked to take good photos of his performance...

In fact, compared with the audience's misinterpretation of his performance and wanting to refute it, what he hopes most is that the audience can enjoy a complete and more comfortable performance.

What's the point of listening to his performance, but the sound quality of the recording is terrible?
If you want to listen, then listen well, or don't listen.

This is Fu Tiao's idea.

He casually played with Chopin's Nocturne Op9No2, and didn't care if he was blasphemy. Everyone off the stage laughed.

"How does it feel?"

The people below immediately cheered together.

"great!"

"Super powerful!"

"Perfect!"

"..."

Dense cheers sounded off the stage, and Fu Tiao laughed even more happily.

This feeling of being liked by others for my own adaptation is not an ordinary comfort!

He turned his head to look at the group of conservatory students at the back of the stage who were looking at him. Looking at the eagerness of those people, he couldn't help thinking for a while, and suddenly asked.

"Can you pull up a new piano for me? Get a double piano?"

"Two pianos?"

The students of the Conservatory of Music couldn't help being stunned, they glanced at each other, and didn't dare to say anything, while the teacher who had been watching at the side didn't hesitate, and waved directly: "You guys, put the piano on the side Push it."

"Yes!"

When everyone saw the teacher giving the order, they immediately pushed the Yamaha aside, pushed it to the side of Fu Tiao, then walked down, and continued to stay there waiting for Fu Tiao to play.

And Fu Tiao didn't say much, but looked at the crowd and said casually.

"Well, I am a little sorry, that is, I am not very familiar with Liszt's clock and Debussy's moonlight, so can I ask a friend to come up and play with me? He can play the main theme, and I will add some points for him. flower."

Fu Tiao squeezed and released his hands, making an explosion, and laughter immediately erupted from the stage.

No one believed Fu Tiao's statement that he was not familiar with Liszt's clock and Debussy's moonlight.

After all, everyone is a music student, and Fu Tiao is also a piano student. Even if you don’t practice in advance and can’t play these two works, there is no problem with Fu Tiao’s adaptation, and the melody must have penetrated into your ears.

So why did Fu Tiao say that he wanted to hire someone to help with the performance?

Everyone didn't even need to think too much about it. Fu Diao must have just happened to use the stage of this music academy to help them a little.

There are many people in the Conservatory of Music who are good at playing the piano, but they are not well-known. Helping publicize them on this occasion will not only help them increase their reputation, but also gain some goodwill.

In the music industry, there are many, many behaviors of bringing the old with the new. The birth of many newcomers may be due to the inadvertent opportunity given by an old man.

For example, Lang Liangyue, Wang Jia and others are all like this.

And although Fu Tiao's current concert level is not high, but no matter how low he is, he is much better than the others. An encore opportunity that he casually reveals can be regarded as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for many music school students. Opportunity.

Sitting in the far corner of the concert hall, the dean of the Brussels Conservatory looked at Fu Tiao involuntarily for a moment, never expecting that Fu Tiao would do such a thing.

The eyes of the other teachers sitting next to him couldn't help but brighten up, and someone said excitedly, "Principal, did you ask Fu Tiao to give you this opportunity?"

"Ah? Uh..."

The headmaster was stunned for a long time and didn't know what to say, so he could only mumble a couple of slurs to fool him, and said casually, "Hmm... I didn't expect Fu to give me a chance at this time."

"I didn't expect to have such an experience in a concert I arranged. This is really..."

The teacher looked at Fu Tiao with a look of looking at his own people, and became even more excited.

"Principal, who will be arranged?"

"Whatever, look at Fu Tiao's choice, don't be too utilitarian, let everything go with the flow." The principal said more vaguely, but looked at Fu Tiao with a softer expression.

Although Fu Tiao had never told him about the sudden training of his students, it would be nice to have such surprises a few more times, after all, who wouldn't like surprises?

"Huh? Let nature take its course?"

Although the man was a little puzzled when he heard the principal's words, he still nodded, sat down again, waved for the teacher in charge to come over, and said a few words.

It all happened around the corner, completely without anyone knowing.

Fu Tiao looked at the students who were standing in the shadow of the concert hall, and couldn't help but said: "So which one of you knows Liszt's clock, and Debussy's moonlight? Those who know can come up directly?"

Everyone glanced at each other, but few dared to move.

The concert was at an impasse for a while.

Seeing this, Fu Tiao could only say again.

"Please, if you don't come up again, I can only play casually..."

Just when all the students were shoving away, a Nordic girl with orange-yellow hair stood up and said heroically, "Teacher! I will pick Liszt's bell!"

"Teacher, I can get Debussy's moonlight!"

After the girl came out, another boy who was obviously timid also gritted his teeth, took a step forward and raised his hands.

The two came to the stage at the same time, standing in front of Fu Tiao, waiting for Fu Tiao's review.

And Fu Tiao didn't say much, just patted the shoulders of the two of them lightly, pointed at the piano and said.

"Come on, go straight to the piano and play."

After all, he sat down in front of the piano with the two of them first, looked at them, nodded, and said casually, "Which of you will come first?"

"I!"

The girl walked to the piano first, bowed slightly to the audience under the stage, and then sat down. She didn't say her name, but looked at Fu Tiao. After taking a deep breath, her body suddenly bowed to the side, her muscles tensed. , put your arms flat on the piano, and press down slowly.

Boom, boom, boom, boom...

Liszt Zhong's extremely familiar beginning quickly rang in everyone's ears, and the unparalleled familiarity made everyone's expressions stretch.

Although the performance of this student can clearly feel the gap with Fu Tiao, but when she plays, you can also clearly feel the strength and momentum gushing out of her.

A very good student, given time, maybe he can become a top pianist like Wang Jia.

But whether this can be done or not depends on her luck.

And at the end of this beginning, when she entered the part of Liszt showing off skills, Fu Tiao's hand also dropped.

In line with her melody, she played a beginning that also consisted of just a few octaves.

It's just that Fu Tiao is slightly different from what she plays.

She played the most traditional octave, the one written by Liszt.

And Fu Diao, it is the chord change of playing.

Except for the two identical notes at the top and the bottom, almost all the inner notes of the chord have been changed.

It sounds a little bit weird, but in fact, it's not at all.

In addition to placing Fu Tiao's left hand on the bass part to add a flowing bass to the girl playing above, he also arranged more chords to deepen the depth of the music.

At the same time, he did not change the original flavor of this piece.

In other words, it’s fine for him to retell while listening, and he can also directly re-create the content he has heard.

What is this concept?
Although few people off the stage can hear how awesome Fu Tiao just played, but anyone who has a slightly better understanding of music will know how strong Fu Tiao's behavior is.

Normally speaking, the skill of listening and playing basically only exists in very simple works, that is, after listening to it once, the brain automatically analyzes what is needed to perform this work, and then reproduces it in one's own hands.

The accuracy of this listening is actually very low. It is difficult for you to listen to all the content of the music perfectly, and you can only play a general idea, unless the work is particularly simple and the use of chords is also discussed.

At the same time, it takes time for normal listening and playing, and it is better to repeat after playing.

And Fu Tiao not only played this set of works almost perfectly while listening to it, he even used only a few bars and almost the limit of reaction time to process what he heard.

Not only that, he can even reprocess it.

This strength is so terrifying.

Andre, who was sitting under the stage, suddenly felt something was wrong, and his eyes widened suddenly.

　I don't understand, I obviously feel some signs of recovery, why did I pull the water again?This viral gastroenteritis is too outrageous, right?My chrysanthemum hurts so much, I ran to the toilet almost ten times today.
