Chapter 224 The Perfect Play

At this moment, many people in the concert hall have never heard Fu Tiao's performance, and this is the first time they have heard Fu Tiao's performance.

Under normal circumstances, it may be that you heard that a particularly powerful person came here to play, and you definitely need to listen to this person's recording.

No matter how bad it is, you need to get to know this person simply.

However, there are very few recordings of Fu Tiao on the Internet, and only some very simple ones such as Fu Tiao's encore after the music performance can be found.

The other official recordings are probably the videos of Fu Tiao at the Chopin International Piano Competition, nothing more.

Compared with Fu Tiao's extremely rare recordings, Fu Tiao's reputation is much better than his recordings.

Leaving aside the fact that Fu Tiao won the Chopin International Piano Competition, his European tour, which was praised by almost everyone in the European continent, is enough to raise everyone's expectations.

Not only that, there are countless top piano educators giving Fu Tiao a platform, and even some pianists praised Fu Tiao's performance.

This made ordinary audiences in England look forward to Fu Tiao's performance even more.

Before playing, many of them had a simple doubt in their hearts, that is whether Fu Tiao's performance would be too bad.

No, you can't say it's bad. More accurately, it should be called good performance, but it doesn't match Fu Tiao's current reputation.

After all, Fu Tiao's current reputation is not too strong. You can't buy any tickets for him in the whole European region, and the evaluations that come out every time are almost all positive.

As the saying goes, seeing him build a tall building, seeing him entertain guests, seeing his building collapse.

In fact, before everyone listened to Fu Tiao's performance, they had considerations, that is, whether Fu Tiao's performance could live up to his reputation. They were really afraid that Fu Tiao's level was not bad, and he could definitely be regarded as a top-tier one. A pianist at the top level, but they just couldn't meet their expectations.

But now, the hesitation and worry in their hearts have disappeared.

Although they have not heard Fu Tiao's complete set of Ballads, Fu Tiao's Mazurka, and Fu Tiao's complete set of etudes, they have now heard Fu Tiao's complete set of Scherzo.

As for the scherzo performed by Fu Diao, to be honest, they really feel that it is comparable to Li Diyun's version.

It wasn't Li Diyun who often overturned his car after his performance was broken, but Li Diyun, who was so high-spirited back then, who also toured the world as the champion of the Chopin International Piano Competition.

Many of them saw Fu Tiao's name, and when Fu Tiao won the Chopin International Piano Championship, their first reaction was to listen to Fu Tiao as Li Diyun.

Now they found that Fu Tiao was much stronger than Li Diyun.

Especially compared with Li Diyun, who is now showing signs of overturning.

如果说李迪云是一个暴击率叠到差不多90%，暴击伤害有200%-500%的射手的话，那么傅调就是一个暴击率0，可是自带200%-500%增伤的战士。

Fu Tiao is too stable, he doesn't have any mistakes, even if there are mistakes, you can't find out from his music.

In fact, Chopin's works can be wrong. When listening to Chopin's works, the most important thing to listen to is the performer's interpretation of Chopin and the performer's own communication.

The most important thing is the body of the music.

But you have to know that no miscommunication is better than miscommunication.

Even if the impact of mispronunciation on music is not as great as everyone imagined, it has an impact of less than 1%.

But if Fu Tiao can play without making mistakes, then his performance must be 1% better than those players who play wrong notes. The superposition of little by little is the cornerstone of his becoming the top performer.

This is the first reaction that many audiences have when they hear Fu Diao playing.

You can't find a fault, you can give your full attention to the music without thinking about anything else.

Music is one of Fu Tiao's best projects.

His musical performance, perhaps compared to his ability to be accurate, is on a higher level.

Under the eyes of everyone, Fu Tiao quickly ended the performance of Chopin's third piano scherzo, and did not take too much rest. After giving everyone a little breathing time, he went directly to Chopin's fourth piano scherzo curved part.

If we talk about the first Scherzo, it directly broke the fantasy dream, but still left a little bit of tenderness.

The fourth piano scherzo is complete disappointment, no longer any illusions about the future.

Under this music, Fu Tiao played very softly and warmly, and the listeners couldn't help but smile, but under this smile, there was that endless chill.

All tenderness is a phantom, all tenderness is a cruel overdraft of the future.

Chopin collapsed on the bed like a lost soul, and wrote his last scherzo.

This coldness was perfectly conveyed to everyone's hearts in Fu Diao's hands.

Fu Tiao was like a magician, wantonly torturing everyone's hearts, controlling their emotions in his own hands, and not giving them any chance to escape.

All this makes everyone confused.

They didn't know whether they wanted to continue listening to Fu Tiao's performance, or if they wanted to escape his control.

This uncomfortable and obsessive feeling makes them intoxicated.

Just like a bad habit, they know that the more they continue to listen, the more uncomfortable they will become, even the Adagio movement, but they just can't help it, and they can't restrain their emotions.

The music was so beautiful that they all forgot that it was a scherzo. Although it was not playful enough, it had enough drama and a sense of conflict.

Under the exploding theme music, everyone could only endure all this quietly, dedicate everything they had, and put it in front of Fu Tiao and let him play with it.

This emotion was not relieved until Fu Tiao finished playing Chopin's Fourth Piano Scherzo.

As the last sound fell, everyone's eyes widened involuntarily, looking at each other, panting hard, trying to calm their emotions and soothe their tormented hearts.

There was no redundant sound heard in the entire concert hall, only the crowd gradually grew, and then returned to calm panting.

Fu Tiao seemed to like this feeling very much. He just turned around with a smile and looked at the crowd. After the breathing of the crowd became stable, he got up and bowed slightly to the crowd.

boom!
The applause rang out instantly, and no one hesitated. They tried their best to give Fu Tiao their highest respect.

Played too perfectly, played too beautifully.

"Barvo" and whistles kept ringing, and everyone was expressing their inner excitement in their own way.

Listening to the first half of the performance, their blood was boiling. Even during the intermission, everyone applauded at that place, completely forgetting that the concert is not over now, but has just begun.

It wasn't until the staff had no choice but to brighten up the originally dark lights and turn the brightness to the highest level to attack the crowd. Only then did the crowd realize that the concert had reached the intermission stage, and they could go out for a little rest .

Thinking of this, everyone in the room slowly moved out to take a breath.

The lounge was full of people, and countless people piled up beside the water bar, buying wine, beer, champagne, coffee, and seasonal mulled wine from the staff.

Just holding the wine glass in his hand, standing in the lobby of the concert hall and outside the concert hall, discussing while drinking.

"My friends, what Fu played today is really great! Just these few scherzos, I really enjoyed listening to them completely."

"Yeah, I never imagined that the Scherzo could sound so good before. It's really amazing."

"Perfect! Friends, do you know what perfection is? This is called perfection! I really like Fu Tiao's playing."

"My friends are right. Fortunately, I listened to their advice and bought Fu's tickets very early in advance. Otherwise, I would never have the opportunity to hear such a perfect performance. When was the last time I heard such a performance? Come on? I seem to... have forgotten a little bit."

"Me too, I haven't listened to it for a long time, and now I'm a little uncomfortable hearing such a performance."

"It's been a long time since Cadogan Hall has presented such a solo performance?"

"Now all those who are capable will go to the Royal Albert, right? It is rare for someone as powerful as Fu to come to Cadogan."

"To be honest, Fu's playing has awakened the memory of my youth, and I think of the golden age of piano, where countless top players gathered, Horowitz, Argerich, Zimmerman, Aarau, too many There are too many, I really can’t finish listening to them, the pianists at that time were much stronger than those now.”

"When you put it this way, I also feel a little bit back in the past. I feel that Fu even has a little bit of Horowitz's feeling in it. He is showing that he is about to crush an era."

"Hahahaha, are you talking about the Asian version of Horowitz? Asian Horowitz is still interesting."

"You're right. I also think Fu Tiao's performance is really perfect. Maybe he really is the next Horowitz."

Everyone laughed and discussed Fu Tiao's performance, guessing where Fu Tiao might go in the future.

This round of Fu Tiao's tour is really too shocking. Even if they didn't hear the previous works of Fu Tiao, but only heard Fu Tiao's performance of this round of scherzo, they still think that Fu Tiao plays well.

Fu Diao is no longer just an ordinary talent. What Fu Diao has shown so far is enough to shock them.

Everyone laughed and discussed what Fu Tiao just said, expressing their shock, but they didn't expect that just such a discussion would make the ten minutes of the intermission pass so easily.

Fu Tiao stood in the background, looking at the extremely excited person in charge in the background, and shrugged helplessly.

"I know how you feel, but I don't really have a definite idea on whether or not I want a complete set of recordings. After all, I plan to let Deutsche Grammophon take care of it. I don't want to care about these things."

"Fu, although I know that you don't have much connection with these things, I still hope that you can pay more attention to these aspects."

Looking at Fu Tiao's appearance, the person in charge couldn't help feeling a little headache, He Fu Tiao added.

"Deutsche Grammophon is not a good company. To be honest, their business operations are really, really bad. If we only talk about recording quality, I think they still have a lot of merits, but If their business operations are discussed, they are a piece of shit!"

The person in charge was very excited.

"Fu, I think you'd better prepare in advance, put some of your recordings in your pocket, and don't throw them to Deutsche Grammophon. They broke up, which caused some setbacks in their music career."

Fu Tiao wasn't interested at first, but he couldn't help being a little curious when he heard this, and asked him a question.

"Who are you talking about?"

"The most obvious one is the one from Huaguo, who also won the Chopin International Piano Competition before."

The tone of the person in charge was a bit uncomfortable: "Li Diyun, he was also tied up by Deutsche Grammophon before. Although he developed well in the classical industry, he couldn't use his hands and feet. Later, he got into trouble with Deutsche Grammophon. It took a lot of work for Universal to go to Sony, so don't give everything to Deutsche Grammophon."

Listening to the person in charge's persuasion, although Fu Tiao felt that what he said was reasonable, he was not moved by it.

after all……

"What if I don't plan to set foot in other fields? I just casually develop in classical music, and develop jazz along the way?" Fu Diao asked.

"So... maybe?"

The person in charge was stunned, but he didn't expect Fu Tiao to give such an answer. He hesitated and said: "If you don't plan to make your reputation reach the level of Li Diyun and Lang Liangyue, you can actually follow Deutsche Grammophon all the time, but they After all, your company is a small company under Universal, which will severely limit your development."

"Is that so..."

Fu Tiao nodded silently, but just passed his mind for a while, and didn't think deeply about it.

This matter is still relatively far away for him, and now his main focus is not on this matter, but on the concert.

Music is the most important thing.

Rather than these miscellaneous contents.

He just nodded slightly to the person in charge, and said.

"Okay, then you can calculate the money and send me the bill later, and I will transfer it to you."

"No, no need!"

The person in charge directly vetoed it, and said to Fu Tiao, "I don't want money."

"You don't want money? So what do you need?"

"I hope that if you are free in the future, you can come to my place for another performance, which is your subsequent tour. Even if you go to the Royal Albert to perform, if you still have time, it is best to come to my place to join For a performance, the price can be about 120% of the market price, which is the limit of what I can do.”

"so……"

Fu Tiao turned his head to look at the person in charge, not quite sure what he wanted to do, but after watching for a long time, he didn't seem to have any intention of framing him, so he could only nod his head.

"Okay, then you can send me the file later, and if I start another tour later, I will add your Cadogan Music Hall to it..."

When Fu Diao said this, he felt that he might be a little exaggerated, so he immediately asked.

"Do I need to sign a contract? To prevent me from going back on my word when the time comes?"

"Forget about the contract. As long as you say this, I will believe you. If you forget, then forget it. It's not a big deal anyway."

The person in charge grinned very freely, and did not give Fu Tiao too many restrictions, but only expressed his hope.

But Fu Tiao didn't know why, the person in charge seemed to say that there was no limit, but he felt that this matter was very important, even more important than before signing the contract.

Maybe... because of the trust of the person in charge?
Fu Tiao looked into his eyes, thought for a long time but couldn't think of a definite answer, so he simply nodded.

"Okay, I know."

"Then... wish you the best for the second half of the concert?"

"Thank you."

Fu Tiao grinned.

when!
The bell rang outside the house, reminding everyone to return to the concert hall and prepare to listen to the second half of the concert.

The person in charge of the lighting also looked at the people who were rushing back into the house. After they were almost seated, they began to adjust the lights. While dimming the lights, they turned on the stage lights to brighten the piano.

Obviously no staff reminded them, but everyone seemed to have realized something. They shut their mouths obediently, looked at the piano on the stage, and waited for Fu Tiao to appear.

"Mr. Fu! The stage lighting has been completed, you can go on stage!"

The staff in charge of lighting immediately ran over and said to Fu Tiao. Fu Tiao nodded slightly, smiled and said hello, and walked out of the stage door that had been opened by the staff.

Whoa!
The applause sounded again, and everyone was welcoming Fu Diao to his throne, ready to perform his second half of the concert.

The first set of Fu Tiao's works in the second half is a group of mazurkas.

This set of mazurkas is not something he has never played before, but the set that Fu Tiao played in the second round of the Chopin International Piano Competition before, and the set that perfectly collided with Zhao Chengzhen.

This time, Fu Tiao's performance is no longer a version that no one has heard before, but a version that everyone has a slight impression of.

After all, Fu Tiao's recordings of the Chopin International Piano Competition can definitely be regarded as the kind available on the entire Internet.

That being the case...

Everyone's expectations for Fu Tiao have changed.

They began to be a little curious, how terrifying can Fu Tiao's music grow in such a few months?
　Depending on the situation, I will be home around 9 or 12 o'clock today (around 1:[-] in China). Maybe I will make up a chapter before [-] o'clock in China. It is just possible. It depends on when I get home.
