pianist from the sea

Chapter 189 The Shock of Fear
With the end of Fu Tiao's performance, the people in the room gradually dispersed, but Andre was still sitting motionless on the chair.

Until almost all the people left and the staff and students began to clear the venue, Andre did not leave, and Luca, who had been staying by his side, had no choice but to sit beside him helplessly. , when the last person left and the staff began to chase them away, he suddenly said angrily.

"Andre, how long are you going to sit in this place? People are starting to drive people away. If you don't leave, we may be kicked out directly."

"No, wait a little longer..."

Andre kneaded his temples, with a serious expression, motionless, directly rejected Luca's request, and spoke with a trace of nervousness.

"I don't feel right. Fu's music just now is not that simple. There are so many wonders and details worth pondering. It's very interesting, very interesting. Let me think about it, let me think about it..."

"Think about it, get out of here quickly! Go out and think about it, don't stay here and affect other people's work!"

Luke looked at Andre almost laughing so badly, he directly grabbed Andre's collar, led him to the outside of the house, then smiled awkwardly at the cleaning staff, and nodded slightly.

Luca dragged Andre to the outside of the house. Now all the people had dispersed, and the house was very quiet. Seeing all this, Luca couldn't help but pouted, thinking about where to take Andre behind him, let him continue think.

The nights in Brussels are not much different from those in other European cities. Only some bars and ATMs are open until the evening. Almost all other shops and restaurants have been closed, and the whole city is like a ghost town.

The most lively places may be some clubs, that is, places similar to nightclubs in China, followed by the red light district.

It was naturally impossible for Luca to take Andre to the red-light district of nightclubs. He got up and looked around, and found a small garden nearby. Sitting on the side panting.

Andre didn't respond, he just rubbed his head, sitting casually on a park bench, thinking about something.

Brussels is very cold in winter, especially now that Christmas is just over a month away. The breath they exhaled has been frozen into water mist before it leaves their mouths and drifts in the air.

After gasping for a few consecutive breaths, Luka looked at Andre puzzled and said, "Andre, what are you thinking? Why is it taking so long? Why don't you figure out what? You tell me, and I'll help you think about it too. , let’s finish our thinking and go back to sleep early, okay? I have pop music ear training and music theory classes on Monday, and I have to go back early tomorrow.”

"You don't understand..." Andre shook his head.

Luca was so angry that he almost kicked him in the face: "What do I not understand? Although I teach fashion, I also know a lot about jazz. What are you kidding, you just say what I don't understand?"

"Do you know what Fu Diao just did?" Andre raised his head abruptly, looked at Luka and suddenly asked, "You said you understood, then do you know what Fu Diao just did?"

"What did what? Didn't Fu just play a very strange clock with that girl? I don't know why the feeling of the middle clock became weird, and then after Fu's jazz took over, after several shifts, the music It's back on track, and then it's over, what's wrong with this?"

Luca spoke in great perplexity, and then shook his head: "But what I don't quite understand is why Fu arranged the middle part of the melody so strangely in this adaptation..."

"Is it strange? Do you also feel strange? It's right to feel strange! Because, this work Fu is completely improvised! Pure improvisation! There is no element of rehearsal in advance! Do you know?"

Andre looked at Luka and said in a low voice, there was no way to hide the excitement and excitement in his heart.

He felt his body trembling, and the sourness almost pierced his skull.

He couldn't even believe what he just said.

What did you just say?The jazz that Fu Tiao played before was completely improvised?Don't have any little prep ingredients in it?

Hahaha, how is it possible, who would believe this kind of thing?Believe in Shabei!
but……

His reason told him that this was true.

The performance of Fu Tiao just now may really be completely improvised, without any rehearsal elements in it.

Luca couldn't hold it back at all, and immediately retorted: "What are you kidding? Completely improvised? Just tell me how to improvise? Do you know how many bars Fu Tiao gives himself space? Four Measures! Maybe a little less! After hearing the reaction time of one measure or two measures, how could this be improvisation?"

He took two steps forward, looked at Andre without any timidity, and said very seriously: "Wake up, don't deify Fu because of his strength, you are a teacher, and Fu is just An ordinary student, a student who has not fully entered the school, you should have heard it. His strength in jazz can be said to be very strong, but his use of jazz chords is still at a relatively old stage, even if some melodies are very Interesting, but it still looks old overall...”

"So what?" Andre interrupted directly, with a hint of confusion: "What's the matter with being old? I don't understand why you care about this. The chords of the music are old and the music itself has nothing The problem is, Mozart has written so many works, to put it bluntly, his chord use can even be written by some freshman students in the composition department, but his works are still popular.”

"Andre..."

Luca seemed to be meeting Andre for the first time, staring at his eyes, frowning tightly, also with a hint of puzzlement.

"What drug did Fu give you? Why did you become like this after listening to a concert? Fu's performance is strong and perfect enough, but I feel that you are a little bit obsessed with him now, and you are deifying him. "

"This is not deification, this is Fu's strength!"

"I don't know……"

"That's why I said it! You didn't understand what Fu he played tonight at all!"

Andre stood up suddenly, stared at Luca unabashedly, his tone was extremely tough.

"Luka, I use the jazz I have taught for so long and my understanding of jazz to guarantee that Fu's jazz performance in today's concert was completely improvised by himself, and even the students who came up were the same. So, he has no idea who's going to be on stage, and you know why? Because..."

"He's indulging!"

Andre was loud.

He poked the ground with his hands, his eyes sparkled, and his tone did not conceal his admiration for Fu Tiao, and he said excitedly to Luka.

"He's letting the girl play. The girl plays the clock. You can clearly hear her playing the wrong thing, can't you?"

"She was wrong, indeed..."

Luka was taken aback, nodded hesitantly, and then couldn't help but took a few steps forward: "But..."

"But maybe this was arranged by Fu, right?" Andre seemed to have guessed what Luka wanted to say, and said Andre's words in advance, and then sneered, denying without any hesitation : "It's absolutely impossible, because Fu is making rounds! He obviously didn't think that the girl played wrongly, so he is rounding, but his rounding is not like..."

Andre lowered his head again, began to pace slowly, and said while thinking.

"There are many possibilities, but almost all of them are related to Fu's on-the-spot reaction. If Fu arranged it in advance, then when he returns to the circle, he must play according to the original score, not according to the current score. That's how it came out."

"While waiting for the latter place, the gap between Fu and that girl is only two bars, which means that Fu's reaction time is only two bars. The speed of this piece is so fast, two bars. The subsection may only be a second or so of reaction and thinking."

"Actually, I'm also thinking about this place. I feel that there may still be a little problem. After all, if I rehearse in advance, I can still do this. But what makes me completely fine is the latter part, Fu Tiao's field control. !"

Andre slowly raised his head, looked at the stars above his head, and said in a low voice: "That girl has obviously rolled over, anyone can hear it, because I sat closer to the front, I can hear it more clearly, this girl Her hands were tense, it was not as if it had been arranged in advance, and the content behind it could be heard, she just followed the melody of the music, and the chords of the music were completely messed up."

"And didn't you hear it later? Did you hear the part where she overturned the car and pulled the music back to the original area and started playing again?"

Andre stared at Luca in front of him again, and said softly: "You must have heard that music, that sounds very strange, but very interesting, that piece of jazz that has nothing to do with Liszt Bell?"

Luka was taken aback for a moment, he swallowed slowly, his eyes were also fixed on Andre, his expression was not particularly good, and he nodded hesitantly.

"I heard that, I thought Fu just made a little easter egg in that place..."

"No, it's not an easter egg, but Fu Tiao's adaptability, robbing the space of the music and giving that little girl a chance to bring the music back. That girl also seized the opportunity very smartly. With help, the music was quickly pulled back."

"If you put it that way, Fu's musical reflexes..."

Luka couldn't help being silent, he didn't know what to say.

Fu Tiao's strength is too outrageous, so outrageous that he even doubts it a little bit.

How could someone be so strong and have such precise control over music.

Two bars?What is the concept of two subsections?
Hands, brain, ears, and the three wires work together, and can output information while processing information.

"How on earth did he do it?"

Luka hesitated to speak, he looked at Andre puzzled and said: "I don't understand, but if it is really what you said, I really can't imagine how Fu he did it, not only I, you think that among all the pop and jazz players today, there are probably very few who can do this."

What Luka said was very little, and he didn't directly say that there was no one. After all, there have been such weird things as Fu Diao now, and he felt that he should be more cautious.

Andre obviously didn't think about how Fu Tiao did it. He groped for the beard on his chin, felt the sour feeling of beard stubble pricking his fingers, and shook his head slightly: "I don't know, but just The strength of Fu Tiao shown in the music I just listened to is indeed so, if you want to continue to explore, you may have to listen to it several times..."

"Listen to it a few more times? Are you going to Paris? We don't have tickets for Paris..."

"No, forget it in Paris. If you go to Paris again, it will be too expensive. I can't afford the price. I remember my students have it in Paris, but they probably won't be willing to sell it to us. If you continue to add money, It may not be able to beat more than 1000."

Andre sighed, got up and rubbed his slightly stiff back, and said helplessly: "Forget it, let's go, go back to sleep, we will return to Berlin early tomorrow, and there are classes next week, wait until later." After a while, that group of people should upload today's video on YouTube, and we'll go back and watch it again on YouTube, but no matter what, Fu's Encore is really shocking today."

"Indeed."

Luca nodded, and followed Andre towards the corner of the city, preparing to go to the hotel they had booked.

Fu Tiao's performance today gave them a great shock. Whether it was the classical music performance at the beginning or the jazz performance later, Fu Tiao is the kind of perfection that you can't find any faults with.

Even if the jazz music in the back, that is, the bell played by the girl after coming up, may have a little problem, and it sounds a little different from the traditional bell, but this still does not affect Fu Tiao's jazz adaptation.

In other words, it was precisely because of Fu Tiao's behavior that the encore of the concert was not completely overturned by that girl.

This strength is really so good that people don't know what to say, and they can't even find words to describe the shock Fu Tiao gave them.

And Andre is not the only one who is still immersed in the music after the concert, but also many other people.

Especially the group of people who followed Fu Tiao Anke, almost all of them were immersed in the shock Fu Tiao gave them, and gradually sank.

The shock that Fu Tiao gave them was not achieved overnight, but a spiral upward, the more you think about it, the more shocking it becomes.

Think carefully.

There are even many people lying on the bed and just telling their heads that they want to sleep, the music played by Fu Tiao began to echo in their heads, spinning, spinning, spinning, making them unable to fall asleep.

But Fu Tiao didn't know this at all.

He was sitting in the backstage of the concert hall now, watching the girl in front of him apologize to him very seriously, with a helpless expression.

"Mr. Fu! I'm sorry! I failed your expectations. I messed up your concert. I'm really, really sorry, very very sorry! Please forgive me!"

The girl spoke categorically, as if Fu Tiao didn't forgive her, so she committed seppuku on the spot.

But Fu Tiao was even more helpless when he heard this sentence, and couldn't help but sighed.

"I said, it's okay, it's very common to roll over at a concert, you don't have to be so anxious, I didn't blame you."

"But I ruined your encore. Your understanding of clocks is so much better than mine, and you still accommodate my random playing of the piano and give me so much space. I'm really sorry."

"No, it's okay, really..."

"But……"

"I said it! It's okay!"

Fu Diao finally couldn't bear it anymore, and his tone became a little more serious. Looking at the girl in front of him who seemed a little scared, he took a deep breath and said slowly: "It's wrong, then go and correct it, and try not to do it again next time." Make a mistake, what's the use of apologizing in this place? Can it solve your previous problems? Or can you turn back time?"

"I……"

The girl was obviously frightened, she couldn't help swallowing, then lowered her head again, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry! I understand! I will never make such a mistake again next time."

"Don't tell me, tell yourself, you are your own first person in charge, I have no half-money relationship with you, I only agree with you to play because you recommended yourself on the stage, not because of other things For whatever reason, don't get confused."

It's useless to speak well, and speaking harshly can have an effect, so Fu Tiao can only make his words more serious, and don't give the girl a chance to think too much.

"Practice yourself, and when you're done, go prove to the stage that when you bow down to this stage, you have to dedicate everything to him. Music doesn't lie."

"Ok."

The girl didn't know why, but the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground. She raised her head and looked at Fu Tiao, and nodded very heavily: "I know Teacher Fu, I will definitely not let this place down, no, I will work harder on all the stages. Qin."

After finishing speaking, she bowed again to Fu Tiao, then turned and left.

As she said, she has made up her mind to practice the piano well, and Fu Tiao seems to have forgiven her, so she naturally has no more reason to stay here.

It's just that when she was leaving, she suddenly thought of Fu Tiao's control over the stage when she was on the stage before, and couldn't help but pause, turning her head to look at the door that had almost disappeared from her sight, and said in a low voice.

"However, when will I be able to reach your realm? Do I still have a chance in my life?"

"..."

"Sorry, the students in our school let you down, Fu!"

Not long after the girl left, an old man came out from behind the door, looked at Fu Tiao who was packing up his things and was about to leave, smiled and said softly.

"I'm the head of the Composition Department of the Royal Academy of Music in Brussels, and I'm also the principal of this school. Fu, can we have a chat?"
