pianist from the sea

Chapter 222 Joking
The applause subsided, and Fu Tiao was already sitting on the piano bench, raising his head and thinking for a while.

The choice of repertoire he played in the first half was relatively simple and difficult.

The simple reason is that you can see the source of all the songs at a glance, as well as his ideas.

That is very simple to take out all the scherzos and play them together to form a whole.

It is Chopin's No. [-] Piano Scherzo that Fu Tiao will play later.

Then came the second, third, and even fourth piano scherzos.

As for the difficulty, this set of works is extremely difficult.

It is even equivalent to Chopin's complete set of ballads for piano played by Fu Tiao before.

Chopin's Scherzo and Ballad are both four pieces, and both are of similar depth, both of which are extremely profound.

Therefore, the interpretation of this set of works is not simple.

At least, it's not as simple as everyone thinks.

After Fu Tiao took a deep breath, he let it out slowly. He didn't look at any part of the piano, but closed it slightly.

He was thinking, he was thinking about many things under the music.

Let your emotions be stable and be able to communicate with Chopin's music.

He won't start playing until all of this is done.

The concert hall was extremely quiet, everyone was watching Fu Tiao, and no one's mood changed or became anxious.

Everyone looked at Fu Tiao quietly.

As Fu Diao's pause became longer, the expectations in their hearts became higher.

No one would think that Fu Tiao had forgotten the music score, or that something else happened, that there was a stage accident.

Everyone can only feel that Fu Diao is thinking about how to make the music more perfect.

This is the trust that Fu Tiao has brought to everyone through so many perfect performances before, and it is precisely because of so many performances that Fu Tiao can stop for so long and be recognized by the audience.

Fu Tiao, he will not disappoint everyone's recognition of him.

Under the eyes of everyone, he raised his hand and slammed it on the high-pitched area with incomparable force.

when!
His hand didn't move away, but he firmly clasped the keyboard of the piano, just like the desire of a dying person for the last straw to survive.

This chord is not perfect, and the timbre is not a particularly full timbre.

Instead, there was a trace of pain, hesitation, shock, and despair.

All kinds of mixed emotions are caught on this high-pitched chord.

This is a work in four or three time, with a quarter note as a beat and three beats per measure.

This opening chord takes up four bars.

Even with the speed mark of Presto con Funco, Fu Tiao's hand stayed on the treble part for a full three seconds.

Such a long beginning, which seems to be an imperfect beginning, did not dispel everyone's expectations for Fu Tiao, but made them even more curious.

What is the purpose of Fu Diao's interpretation like this?

Sure enough, under the gaze of everyone, the last straw, which was not perfect in the first place, slowly broke, and the emotion collapsed instantly.

thump...

fz, a sudden and strong mark, the bass chord sounds at the moment when the treble chord is gone.

as……

Completely fell into the abyss.

After hearing this chord representing the abyss, everyone's goosebumps surged instantly.

Wait, the beginning?
Sure enough, Fu Diao deserves to be Fu Diao, and Fu Diao is indeed the hottest Chopin performer in this season.

The interpretation of the opening two chords.

There is no superfluous action, nor any exaggerated interpretation.

A less than perfect, obviously loose high-pitched chord, and a low-pitched low chord like falling into a nightmare.

Just like a person who fell into the abyss, the last straw, the last sandstone before dying.

The straw couldn't support all of his strength, and the sandstone wasn't compatible with the ground, it just floated on the surface and couldn't use his strength.

This is the feeling of the imperfect chord at the beginning of Fu Diao, with a hint of hoarse chord.

And all of this is to prepare for the bass that also occupies four bars and twelve-beat chords.

This is just the beginning, this is just the beginning!
A real top pianist will not slowly pave the way for you from the very beginning. After a dozen or 20 seconds, or even three or 40 seconds, a few minutes, you will not be able to detect the difference between him and other pianists.

This kind of pianist will tell you directly at the beginning with an attitude like a thunderbolt.

Ni, why do you want to listen to my performance.

Why do you have to listen to my performance.

Because I am awesome.

I'm better than everyone else.

I have my own characteristics in my music.

Only I can perform such works.

You can only hear that feeling from my playing.

So, you have to listen to me.

Now they hear this feeling in Fu Tiao's music.

They looked at Fu Tiao and listened to the two chords that Fu Tiao just played, and they felt the thunder.

A sense of thunder that can make their brains explode.

The first two chords are really amazing.

It sounds so beautiful, too!

Everyone didn't know what to say, so they could only swallow carefully, and continued to listen to Fu Tiao's performance.

This is just the beginning, a place just beginning.

It may have only been five or six seconds since the first note of Fu Diao was pressed, and now the second note.

But it was shocking enough.

Then next.

Fu Tiao's hands returned to the middle of the music without any hesitation, and the incomparably coherent chord decomposition and reconstruction flowed from his fingers.

Just like a person who keeps struggling upwards, he struggles upwards with all his strength.

I hope I can escape from the River Styx.

Once, after another.

But I don't know if it's Fu Tiao's cruelty, or Chopin's cruelty.

Every painful gasp under the waves only brings deeper pain.

Accompanied by a series of downturns, the sorrow of music is pulled down the abyss again.

Once, after another.

Chopin's scherzo is not joking, you don't feel any joking elements in it.

All you can feel is the excruciating struggle.

It is completely different from Chopin's previous ballads.

Chopin's Piano Ballade No. [-] is the ballade with the most talent and inspiration among all his ballads. Narrative One has been played by countless people, and countless interpretations of classic versions have been born.

But this is not the case with Chopin's First Scherzo.

It is just the coldest and most ruthless piece of Chopin's Scherzo.

The genre of the scherzo and the length of large compositions, which Chopin is accustomed to, predestined the repetition of a theme many times.

Simple three-paragraphs cannot be written so long, and Chopin always likes to add different flowers to repeated repetitions of the same theme, using various unexpected accents, strange chords, etc. to create instability.

And this series of disharmony finally became a wave of bubbles, which shattered as the last trace of air in the air flowed out in the deep sea.

Sadness, pain.

The second repetition obviously sounded like the same note, but under Fu Diao's interpretation, it always seemed a bit foggy for some reason.

What I see is not so clear, there is always a kind of confusion that is getting more and more chaotic and sinking.

The first theme keeps repeating, and the first theme keeps adding flowers and changes.

With each change, Fu Diao carefully made more changes to the music, rather than just ordinary, meaningless repetition.

Repetition is power, but simple repetition is not power.

The music at the beginning is just a simple catharsis of emotions, and every wave after that is piled up, which is another roar of emotions.

Everything in the music is in the hands of Fu Diao.

The same goes for emotions.

Endless struggle, but has been pulled into the abyss.

Want to escape, but there will never be a way to escape.

Can only keep sinking.

All this made the mouths of the audience listening off the stage dry.

The feeling of this music is really great.

The description of the first theme is simply amazing, they never thought that there would be such a description.

It comes from the expression of emotions in oriental aesthetics.

There is also the faint sound of waves that seems to come from the Styx River.

Really beautiful.

They knew that Fu Tiao played well, but no matter what, they never thought that Fu Tiao could play so well.

This is no longer what they boasted to their friends in Europe, but a higher level.

It's definitely considered scary.

As far as Fu Tiao's performance is concerned, it definitely belongs to the world's first-line pianists.

Steady line!
Although I don't know how his other works are performed, as far as the first stage of the current theme is concerned, this is definitely regarded as the first-line, and there is even the possibility of surpassing the first-line and reaching the top.

Really, so beautiful.

Some audience members were already a little restless sitting under the stage. They felt that they were shaking all over, and they wanted to release their impulses.

Goosebumps all over my body are about to pop out.

This feeling is so beautiful, I really like it.

However, Fu Tiao didn't stop his playing, he just raised his hands slightly to let the sound of the music dissipate, and then put his hands on the keyboard with a slight smile.

Gently tap as if stroking a lover's skin.

A completely different tenderness emerged from his hands.

This tenderness seems a bit incompatible with the previous struggle, but there is a taste of succession and transformation in it.

It's like there's a layer between the two.

This feeling is very strange, but the inexplicable relaxation in the music made everyone lose a lot of vigilance. They just looked at Fu Tiao with a smile and listened to his performance.

This place can be regarded as the most gentle place in the whole text, so gentle that people lose their vigilance.

Adrift, soft.

Everyone even felt that they were no longer in the concert hall, but lying on their own beds, with a low lullaby playing beside the bed.

The gentleness like a parent gave them a peaceful smile on their lips.

It even felt like I was in a dream.

right……

dreamland.

Everyone suddenly felt something.

This is not any other place, but their dreamland.

The place where their hearts are most tender, the place they dream of, the place they flee from.

Emotions are rippling in the heart, music is swirling in the air, and tenderness is shaking gently in the dream.

All this made them let go of all the guards in their hearts, and just wanted to go to sleep like this.

The music is so beautiful.

The beauty in music is what Fu Tiao is best at.

What he is best at and what he likes to do the most is to crush everything with the beauty of music.

Just as he did at the Chopin International Piano Competition.

This aesthetic feeling overwhelms the entire concert hall.

It has been able to conquer those judges with high aesthetics before. For these ordinary music lovers or performers, Fu Tiao's influence will not be weakened in the slightest.

On the contrary, it will become stronger.

Because they definitely don't listen as much as those judges, and their resistance to beauty is not as strong as those judges.

Before the beauty of this almost shattered everything, any resistance is unnecessary.

All you need is to sink quietly into the dreamland constructed by Fu Tiao, and that's it.

This dream made everyone forget a lot.

For example grief.

Such as sorrow.

For example... the pain, the sadness, the despair, and the struggle in the abyss that Fu Tiao just played.

The beauty of Fu Tiao conceals a lot, making many people forget that they were shocked by the struggle played by Fu Tiao before.

Just like an overlay layer.

Fu Tiao's aesthetic feeling was directly accumulated on top of the previous emotions, which weakened everyone's thinking ability too much.

It sounds like a wrong choice, as if it made the music less harmonious as a whole.

However, have you ever thought about such a question.

It's just a dream, does it... really exist?

No one has thought about this possibility, they have long been addicted to Gensokyo.

Under this beauty, Fu Tiao was like an author who wrote a knife article, his hands paused for a moment, and then he smashed down!

boom!
An extremely dissonant voice rushed out from the piano.

Without the slightest mercy, he raised the knife and dropped it, directly smashing it down.

The pain in the music instantly shattered all the beauty that Fu Tiao had built before.

crush them mercilessly.

Some people with weak hearts could not help opening their eyes wide when listening to Fu Tiao's performance. They stretched out their hands to cover their hearts, and slowly squeezed their clothes tightly.

They felt their hearts were being played with in Fu Tiao's hands, and then they were squeezed and crushed.

These are two extremely terrifying chords. If played alone, they may not have any power, but here, no one can withstand the attack of these two chords.

When you are used to sadness, it suddenly brings you into a dream, when you are used to dreams, then ruthlessly crush your dreams.

As I said before, among Chopin's large works, the First Scherzo may not be the best.But it must be the most ruthless one, much more ruthless than the Fourth Ballade.

Also breaking dreams, the first Scherzo is more direct, the contrast is stronger, and the emotion is more anger.At this time, the dream, I thought it was real.

Everyone has been immersed in a dream, and everyone feels that the dream is real and exists in reality.

Those beauties are real beauties, convincing.

They believe in all of this.

But unfortunately...

A dream is a dream after all, no matter how realistic, no matter how realistic, no matter how memorable.

Dreams are false after all.

And the reality of pain and struggle is eternal.

Scherzo, who is he joking about?

Is it the crowd sunk in the illusion?
Or Chopin himself... himself?
No one knows why this piece of work is called Scherzo. It is obviously not humorous or humorous at all. It even carries terror and despair, making people unable to find the way forward.

perhaps……

Is it because of the sense of drama?

The contrast between fantasy and reality is like a drama that makes people laugh?
No one knows how to understand this work, but they don't need to understand this work.

They already feel the emotions that exist in the music.

Whether it is the sinking and pain in reality, or the beauty and confusion in fantasy.

Everything has left an incomparably deep impression on their fucking hearts, so that they have no way to escape from it, they can only be forced to accept it.

After all, as the old saying goes, life is like what it is, and since you have no way to resist, you can only accept it.

Under the music, everyone woke up from the dream, once again immersed in the pain, feeling the horror brought by Fu Tiao.

Obviously so painful, so desperate.

But I don't know why, but what Fu Tiao plays can make people listen to it.

Under the eyes of everyone, Fu Tiao's hands were running quickly on the keyboard, and every gap was occupied by dense notes.

Accompanied by Fu Tiao's last few chords, the sound of the music gradually dissipated.

Chopin, the first piano scherzo, is completely over.

Everyone looked at Fu Tiao's throat and couldn't help itching.

They want to say something, but they don't know what to say.

Now it is only the gap between the first work and the second work in the music.

Normally, this gap is for people to cough or adjust the seat, not for people to applaud.

But really, they really wanted to clap.

Applaud where Chopin's first Scherzo ends.

Fu Diao played really well, so good that they couldn't even find any words to describe him except "Bravo".

You can't find any weakness in his music, you can't find any dissatisfaction.

The most likely thing is that you feel that his emotions are exaggerated, making you too deeply influenced by him and unable to extricate yourself.

But this is not a weakness, but one of his strengths.

Everyone looked at Fu Tiao with complicated expressions, but they could only slightly adjust their positions, clear their slightly itchy throat, and prepare themselves to appreciate Chopin's Second Piano Scherzo.

After all, Chopin's second piano scherzo is different from the first scherzo. Compared with the ruthless and rare one, the second one has become more well-known.

Under the eyes of everyone, Fu Tiao raised his hand again, hovering over the keys, and then...

Pressed with a hint of humor.
