pianist from the sea

Chapter 239 Berlin University of the Arts Chamber Music Peak Quartet
Camilo, Mira, and Taha appeared in front of Fu Tiao, and all of them had a special aura.

Such an aura is also present in Fu Tiao.

In the most simple terms, this aura is... self-confidence.

It is the simplest, pure confidence.

Believe in your own strength, the confidence that you can do everything in music.

Milati took her cello and walked to the center of the room to sit down, and Taha also took a seat.

Everyone was looking around at each other without speaking.

It didn't matter to Fu Tiao himself, he was just a person who didn't like to talk very much, so he just sat there, not knowing what was going on in his head.

Mira and Taha were whispering in low voices, talking about something between girls, carefully looking at Fu Tiao and Camilo.

Camillo seemed a little helpless and scratched all over his body. He was a talkative person, but now everyone in the room felt a little isolated from him. Even though he knew that this might be the embarrassment caused by the first meeting, it still made him feel uncomfortable.

He thought for a while, stood up abruptly, and said with a smile to everyone.

"Okay, everyone, don't be so serious, and don't keep silent. From today onwards, we are members of this quartet. If we are lucky, we can take on some performance tasks together as a chamber music orchestra in addition to our respective performance tasks. So anyway, let's introduce each other to let everyone understand."

After all, he pointed at himself first, and grinned.

"My name is Camilo. I just said that after all, I play the viola, so I don't have any awards. I currently have a part-time job with the Berlin Philharmonic. I have served as the principal viola in some other small groups that are not worth mentioning. In some orchestra competitions, I also won the best viola with my viola. But these things are not very special awards, and what about you? Taha?"

"me?"

Taha didn't expect Camillo to look at him first, propped one leg on the chair, put his chin on his knee, and said with a smile.

"I'm a violin, I told you just now, but I'm different from Camillo, I mainly play solo, and I won the Queen Elizabeth International Violin Competition before."

After Fu Tiao heard it, he couldn't help raising his head and looked at Taha.

Taha is in great shape, clearly showing signs of workout maintenance.

Her fingers are also very slender and slender, but unlike those white and tender ones that are often slender in pictures, her fingers are full of strength.

As well as some calluses between her fingers and palms, it can be seen that she is indeed, as she said, a very good violin player.

The Queen Elizabeth International Violin Competition she mentioned is the same competition as the Queen Elizabeth International Piano Competition that Shen Yu participated in before, all of which are top international competitions.

Just the age is different.

The Queen Elizabeth International Music Competition is based on a rotation system, such as piano competition this year and violin competition next year.

The Queen Elizabeth International Piano Competition is a competition of the same level as the Chopin International Piano Competition in which Fu Diao participated.

Although the scope of this competition is not as wide as that of the beautiful country, the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition is known as the piano marathon.

The professional depth is not as good as the Chopin International Piano Competition.

However, the comprehensiveness of this competition is very strong, and it also belongs to the first echelon of international piano competitions.

The champion of the Queen Elizabeth International Violin Competition that Taha won, even if the gold content is slightly lower than that of Fu Tuan, it is not the kind of weak little fish.

Compared to Fu Tiao, Camilo was more excited: "Elizabeth? You are amazing, so amazing. I originally wanted to see if I could find a competition to participate in, but I feel that if I get to Elizabeth's level in the viola competition, it will be difficult for me to win the championship. You are really amazing!"

"Thank you, but it's actually okay, I still have a lot to learn."

Taha smiled at Camilo and Fu Tiao, then looked at Mira who had been silent at the side, reached out and rubbed her head, and asked with a smile.

"Mira, what about you?"

"You, you..." Mira moved her head away from Taha's hand, looked at Taha angrily, and whispered: "Although I am not tall, I am still growing. If you touch my head with your hand, I will not grow taller! I have only just started! I can still grow a few more years!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I will never do it next time!" Taha put his hands together to apologize, and then he was taken aback: "?"

Camillo was also stunned: "Eighteen?"

Fu Tiao couldn't help being taken aback when he heard it, and raised his head to look at her.

Seeing everyone like this, Mira couldn't continue to say anything, she could only whisper: "What's wrong..."

"No, we're just shocked..." Camillo swallowed and couldn't help asking, "Did you...do anything before?"

"No, I just won the Jan Niglo Cello Competition. I originally wanted to get an undergraduate degree at the Berlin University of the Arts and go to a school, otherwise I wouldn't even have a diploma. My mother said that I won the championship without a diploma. It's not easy to develop in the future, so I came here. After the exam, they asked me if I wanted to study for a performer diploma. I agreed with the idea of ​​studying..."

She shook her head slightly and said softly.

The sound was very small, Taha could hear it clearly but he didn't know what level of competition this was.

Camillo was shocked.

"Yanigro?"

"What kind of game is this?" Taha looked at Camilo and asked in a low voice, covering his mouth.

She was embarrassed to say this directly in front of Mira, after all, it was a bit disrespectful.

Camilo didn't think too much, but was shocked.

"And your Elizabeth... No, to be precise, it should be the same level of award as your Paganini Award for violin and Chopin Award in the piano industry. Although it is not well-known, the industry recognizes this award. In the Berlin Philharmonic where I am now, the chief cellist did not win this award. It is said that it is a little short..."

Although he didn't say it clearly, both Taha and Fu Tiao could hear what Camelot meant.

If the current Mira is willing to work in the Berlin Philharmonic in the future, at least he can get a cello principal.

As for whether she can become the chief of the voice department, it depends on her performance.

It's just that Mila didn't seem to be aware of her awesomeness at all, she just curled up her body, a little embarrassed.

After being shocked by Mira's level, Camillo let out a long sigh of relief, and finally looked helplessly at the last Fu Tiao, with a bitter expression, and sighed.

"Finally there is you, you..."

Camillo looked at Fu Tiao, his voice paused, and finally looked at Fu Tiao with a bit of confusion, and apologized.

"Sorry, this student from the piano department, I forgot what your name is. It seems to be... Dick? Or Dis? Or Dior? I'm not particularly familiar with the names of people from Huaguo, my fault, sorry."

"Fu Tiao, you can just call me Dior."

Fu Tiao nodded to them and said directly.

"My name is Fu Tiao, a piano. I won the 2015 Chopin International Piano Competition, the best piano concerto, and toured in 12 European countries. The results are relatively average."

The voice fell, and everyone was a little silent for a while.

No, to put it most accurately, Camillo is actually silent.

Mira was still huddled in the shadow of her cello alone, a little shy and embarrassed to talk to people, but it had nothing to do with social terror.

She hid behind her musical instrument and carefully looked at Fu Tiao. She wanted to ask, but she was too embarrassed to ask.

Taha, on the other hand, looked at Fu Tiao with great interest. She had heard of the fame of the Chopin International Piano Competition.

Just like what Camilo said just now, the competition with the same level of awards as Mira won, and the degree of commercialization of global popularity can even be regarded as the highest competition.

As for Camelot...

He was in pain.

Chamber music team, four people, four instruments.

Three of them are champions of the world's top competitions, and one came in just coming of age.

Fu Tiao does not seem to be very old, maybe only 20 years old.

Taha looks like 22 or 23.

He is the only one, without the status of a champion, and he is only a member of a top orchestra, not even the chief.

Although there is no competition for the viola, most of the viola works are for orchestra and chamber music, and there are very few solos and concertos specially written for the viola.

However, when compared with Fu Diao and the others, his identity is really far behind by a whole lot.

Hearing the bragging of Fu Diao and others, he felt the pain in his whole body.

Taha thought for a while, looked at Fu Tiao with a smile, and asked with a smile.

"Dior, can I ask... Where is your European tour? My agency is also contacting me, saying that they want me to prepare for the European tour. I haven't set a specific time and track yet, so I want to ask."

"Nothing special, because I won the Chopin International Piano Competition in Warsaw, so the first one was in Warsaw, then Warsaw went to Berlin for the second one, and after that it was Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, Madrid, Lisbon, London..."

Fu Tiao casually told them the route of his tour, and then spread his hands and said, "But because the booking was rushed, except for the Berlin Philharmonic, all the other places I went to were concerts with thousands of people."

"Thousand-person venues are also good. If I decide on the location later, I will probably choose the thousand-person venues. Those big venues are too difficult to master."

Taha couldn't help shaking his head when he mentioned this place.

Mira raised her hand cautiously and asked.

"Um...Dior, can I ask what agency you signed with? Several agencies approached me and said they wanted to sign with me, but I never dared to do so. My parents also said that I should decide this matter myself, so..."

"Deutsche Grammophon, right? It belongs to Universal." Fu Diao nodded, and said directly, "However, my actual communication with them is limited to concerts and share transfers. I don't know the specifics of this company."

"Is that so..."

Mira fell silent again.

And Taha is pulling Fu Tiao to discuss the quality of the concert hall in this place, as well as how it feels to use.

Especially for the several concert halls that Fu Tiao has been to, she seems very interested.

Fu Diao didn't even know whether she paid for the concert tour herself or whether she followed the company.

Camillo could not get in while listening to the conversation between the two, because he was with the band after all.

To put it simply, he goes where the band goes, and it is difficult to get out of it, so he can only talk to Mira.

Mira, on the other hand, was a bit shy, spoke softly, and sometimes struggled for a long time, which made Camillo bend over to listen to her speech carefully, and Camillo was sweating from listening.

Fortunately, when everyone was chatting there, the door was suddenly opened, and a hearty voice came from the door.

"You guys came so early, you all arrived before I arrived, obviously I came very punctually, but it seems like I'm late to you, it won't work next time!"

Everyone looked towards the door. A man with curly hair and a trace of gray, about fifty years old, stood at the door. His body was tall and straight, and he did not look old at all.

"Teacher Hubble!" Camillo's eyes couldn't help but get up, he immediately got up, and said excitedly, "Are you teaching us today?"

"Of course, I'm just kidding. This is the first class I've been grabbing for a long time. Who else can I take? You can't let that old guy Lawrence teach you. He doesn't know chamber music."

He just stood there smiling and looking at the crowd, waved the hat in his hand, then hung the hat and clothes on the wall, walked towards the crowd, and said slowly.

"Your group of chamber music groups is the group we have carefully selected for a long time before finally deciding. It is also the strongest group we can create. If you are not suitable, we will let you choose other groups. The level of other groups is definitely not as good as yours, so if possible, I hope you can coordinate more with each other."

After all, he stopped in front of everyone, smiled and nodded.

"Fu Tiao, your musicality is the strongest among all of them. Lawrence told me about your problem before. You always feel that you are losing control of yourself, and you can't tap your talent well. But this is nothing for chamber music. They can help you make up for it."

"Taha, your technical talent has surpassed everyone's imagination, and you are known as the modern female version of Paganini, but perhaps because of your excessive focus on technique, you have lost some control over musicality."

Taha was taken aback, and was about to say something, but saw the chamber music teacher Hubble waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Don't rush to refute, I'm not saying that you are not good at music, you will know the details later."

After Hubble finished speaking, he looked at Mira who was hiding behind the cello, feeling a little emotional for a while.

"Mira, I don't know much about you. I just know from your professional teacher that you are a musical genius. You have become obsessed with music. You have a terrifying musical talent. As for your shortcomings, your teacher didn't tell me. He said that I will know after I teach you. I hope I can have a deeper understanding of you today."

Mira nodded slightly over there, and moved closer to her cello, as if she was a little scared.

After Hubble finished talking about everyone, he looked at Camillo who was a little unconfident in front of him, and sighed.

"Camilo, don't look unconfident. It's not a good thing if you don't participate in the competition and focus on chamber music and orchestras. So many orchestras have won so many awards because of you. Now you are so young and directly accepted by the Berlin Philharmonic as an official member. You can even be regarded as the second principal of the viola. What are you dissatisfied with?"

"Yes, but..."

Camilo looked embarrassed, and the previous generous appearance disappeared in front of the teacher, and he couldn't help muttering: "But I don't have any awards."

"Who told you that music needs awards to prove itself?"

Teacher Hubble asked directly: "Is your level of strength not enough without awards? What are you kidding?"

"not me……"

"There's nothing wrong with it, don't tell me those useless things, just correct your mentality, and don't worry about anything else."

After all, Teacher Hubble rubbed his temples with a headache, and said to everyone.

"I don't need to talk about chamber music. You all know the basics. If you don't understand, tell me. I'll send you to the bachelor's side for retraining. If there is no one who doesn't understand, we will start directly from the performance of chamber music, and then explain and correct while playing."

After all, without any hesitation, he directly took out a stack of music scores from his pocket and distributed them to everyone.

The score is very thick, about [-] pages, and Fu Diao even sank after taking it.

He looked at the content on the front page and couldn't help but be taken aback.

This is not one score, but dozens of different scores.

Because it is a part score, it is not like a score that can only write two lines on a page, so if everyone has a score in their hands, then they may not only have two hundred pages in their hands, but thousands of pages.

Looking at the score in front of him, Mr. Hubble spoke directly.

"In the first class today, we will start with the first piece. Let's start with a simple one, Mozart's first piece, piano quartet, K478."

"I printed a total of 23 sheet music. I met for the first time today. Let's get acquainted with each other first. Then...we will strive to complete these 23 sheet music in the remaining three months of this semester."

After all, he looked at the people in front of him whose expressions gradually became serious, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

"You...you shouldn't find it difficult, right?"

　I paid too much for the manuscript last month, because the bank card limit cannot be transferred in. Although it sounds awesome, but in fact my bank card is a second-class card, and it conflicts with other transfers, so the transfer failed...

　　This directly led to the fact that after I returned to China on the 23rd, I might only have 2k soft sister coins with me.

　　And this 2k soft, I need to use it until the 11th of next month...

　　Damn, I’m so poor, I can’t even afford to eat. I originally said who was in Haicheng on the 23rd and 24th, and I invited me to dinner. Now I just wait to say who invited me to dinner.

　　The important point is that I also booked tickets to CJ on 28, 29, and 30, and now I have no money...
