pianist from the sea

Chapter 246 Lang Liangyue

Not only these people, but Zhang Hao was dumbfounded.

After he refreshed the page again, the arrangements for the music festival appeared.

Fu Tiao, Zhao Chengzhen and Hamelin gathered again for the second competition for the best performer of the Ruhr Music Festival.

The organizing committee directly released the battle between Fu Tiao and the others, saying that they will compete for such a competition together again.

If this is the case, this kind of music festival is not considered a particularly big festival, and it can be regarded as the second place in the Chopin International Piano Competition after playing enough.

But now it is obvious that apart from Fu Tiao, Zhao Chengzhen, and Hamelin, Zhang Hao also saw something different.

In a few days, Arkady Volodos, the best performer in 2015, will start his first concert on April NO.15, witnessing the beginning of the 2016 Ruhr Festival.

Then, on April NO.18, Kissing made his debut.

Following Kissing is Lang Liangyue.

"What are you kidding?"

Zhang Hao was completely dazed, looking at the time schedule above, he couldn't believe what he saw now.

April NO.18, Monday, Kissing debut.

April NO.19, Tuesday, Lang Liangyue will be on stage.

Both are performed in the concert hall of the Essen Philharmonic Orchestra.

This was even more explosive than pulling Zhao Chengzhen and the others over to confront Fu Diao.

Zhao Chengzhen and the others are at least defeated by Fu Tiao. You can even say that even if Zhao Chengzhen plays again, they may not be able to beat Fu Tiao, and they can only become a small background board for Fu Tiao.

But Kissing and Lang Liangyue are terrible.

Lang Liangyue and Kissin are the most well-known pianists, and both of them have strong tendencies in their styles.

Both are very distinctive individual players.

If we simply discuss the solo concerts of the two of them, apart from the difference in ticket prices, there is almost no significant difference in the speed of selling tickets between the two of them.

And if you discuss the repertoires they are good at, you will find that the works they are best at are basically Liszt Beethoven's works that are more virtuoso.

It's just that the playing styles of the two are different. Lang Liangyue will imprint more expressiveness of music on his body.

Even if you can't understand how he plays, you can feel the charm of his playing from his body.

Kissing's playing behavior is more flat, full of the reservedness of old Europe.

In addition, the level and strength of the two may really not be much different.

In the classical music circle, Lang Liangyue is basically compared with Kissin, trying to use their performance to prove who is stronger and who is weaker.

Now the group at the Ruhr Music Festival actually put Kissin and Lang Liangyue in the same place to confront them head-on.

Now it's really interesting.

"Hao, what are you looking at?" Nina looked at Zhang Hao and laughed, and couldn't help asking.

Zhang Hao handed her the page in his hand, pointed to Lang Liangyue and Kissin on it and smiled.

"I feel that the Ruhr Music Festival is a bit messy. They seem to like to make those controversial pianists fight."

"Hey, it's true..."

Nina nodded thoughtfully, and said.

"However, the reputation of the Ruhr Piano Festival is already so strong, so it is actually beneficial for those pianists to play, right? It will make concert tickets sell better."

"Well, but actually they don't care how the tickets sell. After all, you can buy a student ticket for only 10 Euros. Their staff will never check whether the student ticket you bought has a student ID card. A lot of people bought the 10 Euro student ticket directly, and they could still sit at the front, obviously they are not sensitive to the price of concert tickets.”

Zhang Hao smiled chicly and explained to Nina.

Listening to Zhang Hao's explanation, Nina obviously felt the same way, so she couldn't help but nodded.

"Well, that seems to be the case."

"It's a pity that the ticket sales are not open yet, otherwise I really want to buy the middle ticket between the two."

Zhang Hao shook his head, looked at the content on the phone and said casually, and continued to scroll down.

April 22nd is Mitsuko Uchida's concert, but I heard that Mitsuko Uchida's health is not good recently, and may be replaced temporarily.

It's not clear who will be replaced, but it's definitely not bad, at least it's a player at Zhao Chengzhen's level.

He continued to look down the list, and when he saw a name in May, he couldn't help but froze.

"Gina...Alice?"

"Gina Alice? Hao? What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the name?"

Nina, who was looking at the list of performances with Zhang Hao, couldn't help looking at Zhang Hao curiously, and asked puzzledly: "Why did you suddenly pause on her name? Obviously the Hamelin in front is more noteworthy? "

"Hammerlin has nothing to pay attention to. Hamelin is a figure of the god of technology. His technical level may be the highest among all people, but his musical expression is not as good as his technicality. It is not strong enough, so listening to his performance, I think it can be used as a model more, and it does not deserve too much attention.”

Zhang Hao shook his head, and moved from Hamelin to Gina Alice below.

He nodded at this person and said softly.

"This person... seems to have something to do with Lang Liangyue."

"Ok?"

Nina, who was not interested at first, her eyes lit up instantly, she looked at Zhang Hao bravely, took out the classic German salt stick snacks from her schoolbag, opened it, crunched and bit it, and said excitedly.

"Really? Can I hear any interesting news?"

"Well, although it's not really interesting news, but this Gina and Lang Liangyue are very close. She is the person in charge of Lang Liangyue's Global Piano Foundation and often goes out with Lang Liangyue on the same stage. Although her The strength may be barely enough, but I always feel that she is still a little short of this stage."

"Then is it considered a shady one, giving Gina a shady one on the stage?" Nina asked excitedly.

Zhang Hao shook his head.

"No, I don't think it's a black screen. To be precise, Gina's level and strength are actually okay, but she should be a non-alternative existence for this stage, that is, if those top pianists decide not to come , then there is no problem for Gina to come to this stage, she can be regarded as the first line of backup, and her strength is not bad."

"In 2009, she was admitted to the Frankfurt Academy of Music and Performance, studied with Ben Hart, and then also studied with Klaus Hellerweg in Berlin and Graffmann in New York. This is her profile, but I It always feels weird to read this profile, her follow...should not be a normal follow."

"Huh? It's not normal following, so what is it? Does following have any special meaning?"

"Based on the above semantics, I think they should use the vocabulary of who they are from to express her master's inheritance, and they will not use follow, but here they use follow to obtain further artistic inspiration, I feel like she might be..."

Zhang Hao thought for a long time, then suddenly remembered a word, snapped his fingers vigorously, and said clearly.

"Yes! Master class! I feel that this is actually more like an expression of master class, rather than enrollment. She should have taken master class with Klaus and Graffman, that's all."

"Eh……"

Nina didn't understand, but felt that Zhang Hao was handsome, so she couldn't help applauding.

The applause made Zhang Hao feel a little embarrassed, and he couldn't help scratching his head.

"But these are all my guesses. I'm not sure how she is... By the way, are you going to attend her concert? If it were me, I actually don't have particularly high expectations for her. I feel that instead of listening to her It’s better to go back and practice the piano more.”

"egal (I don't care...), after all, I am a drum jazz major, and I am more interested in those jazz pianos."

Nina said casually, not caring.

Zhang Hao had long been used to Nina's attitude, so he just smiled and continued to look behind.

Compared with the operation of putting Lang Liangyue and Kissing together, Fu Diao, Zhao Chengzhen, and Hamelin seemed much simpler.

Zhao Chengzhen was placed in Duisburg, a city not far from Essen, on Friday night.

Hamelin was placed in Mülheim, a city almost equal to Essen.

There is not even a clear line between this city and Essen. You may have entered the city of Mülheim before you feel that you have left Essen.

As for Fu Diao...

Fu Diao was placed in Essen, where Lang Liangyue and the others played, and also where Gina played.

The time is near the end of June and almost July, Sunday.

Three people, three nights closely connected.

This time is different from before, this time Hamelin finally no longer exists alone on the stage independently of Fu Diao and others, he will play between Zhao Chengzhen and Fu Diao this time.

Now it's interesting.

Although he is an ordinary piano student, he also has the attributes of a fun person.

He really couldn't wait to see the scene where this group of people fought to the death.

He silently wrote the following concerts in his memo.

Kissing Vs Lang Liangyue, the battle for the strongest.

Hamelin tricks show.

Argerich & Barenboim brothers and sisters の cooperation show.

Fu Diao Vs Zhao Chengzhen Vs Hamelin, Xiao Sai and the three meet again.

as well as……

Zimmermann's solo concert.

No matter which one I feel is really good-looking, and I feel particularly worth seeing.

Before he even listened, he was inexplicably burning up.

"Anyway, I always feel that this year's Ruhr Music Festival is getting more and more interesting. I really look forward to who can win this year's best."

Zhang Hao put his arms around his girlfriend, looked at the blue sky and white clouds in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

It's a really comfortable day.

……

Not only Zhang Hao noticed this concert, but many other people also noticed the concert in the Ruhr area.

Regardless of the audience of the original Ruhr Piano Festival.

Or a fan of some top pianists.

When they paid attention to the latest performance schedule of a certain pianist, they obviously noticed this musical feast of top pianists from all over the world.

Compared with the dry performance before, this time they actually invited Lang Liangyue and Kissin, who were difficult to invite, for a head-on confrontation.

This directly aroused the G-spot of countless classical music lovers, making them very excited.

And the latter confrontations are even more so.

Even the group of people in China who had difficulty going to Europe to participate in the music festival were also surprised.

"I knock? Wait? A head-on confrontation between Kissing and Lang Liangyu?"

"Argerich and Barenboim, brothers and sisters, are actually working together again?"

"Wow, Zimmerman really came this time. I really like Zimmerman. Uncle Qi is so handsome!"

"Lang Liangyue went to the Ruhr Piano Festival this year. Will he have any other performances after this year?"

"I remember him saying that he might go to the Salzburg Festival, as for the rest, I don't know..."

"Xiao Sai's Big Three actually confronted each other head-on again? But I think it will be difficult for the remaining two to fight against Fu Tiao, right?"

"Zhao Chengzhen heard that he has developed quite well recently. It is said that he has become a master of the piano at the French Conservatory of Music!"

"Really? It looks so powerful..."

"..."

Although they cannot directly participate in the Ruhr Piano Festival, everyone is still extremely excited about the discussion of the Ruhr Piano Festival.

Even though some people have noticed the name of Gina Alice, but this name is nothing to everyone at present, it is just a simple name.

This kind of discussion trend is not only in China, but also in Europe, many people are discussing the scale of this year's Ruhr Piano Festival.

Compared with previous years, this year is really much more interesting, and the meaning of competition this year is also much stronger.

It really makes people look forward to it.

Of course, such expectations are basically for outsiders. For insiders, especially Fu Tiao, he doesn't feel much expectation.

……

"Taha! The ending part! I beg you to give me more strength, can you come out? You gave too little strength to the last part of the music, and the ending of the music seems a little hollow. You are also a famous violin Home, why is there such a mistake?"

"Dior, I know what you mean, but don't you think this kind of hollowness is actually more interesting? This is what I decided after thinking for a long time. I really liked the hollow feeling at the end of the music. Don't you think Is this kind of music particularly cool? Dior?"

"No, I don't like this method of interpretation."

Fu Tiao rubbed his head with a headache, and looked at the people around him.

Mira supported Fu Diao, and she also thought that the emptiness of Taha was not quite right, it was a bit different from the overall expression of the music, and it was too unreasonable.

But Camillo liked this interpretation very much.

Two against two, so everyone seemed a little bit deadlocked.

But soon, the quarrel was over, because Fu Diao's cell phone rang.

Fu Tiao picked up the phone and glanced at it. It was his manager calling him.

Only the phones of his teacher and his manager, Fu Tiao, had a whitelist set up. As for other people, they generally couldn't call into Fu Tiao's phone.

The group of people on the side also knew about this. After they picked up their mobile phones and checked the time, Taha sighed.

"Dior, let's stop here for today's rehearsal. We still have a little controversy over this work, which is the final part. Let's go back to Mr. Hubble for this dispute. The time is almost up, so let's start gone."

"Yeah, Dior, you go to answer the phone first, we also have our own business, so let's go first."

"Yes, me too."

Everyone waved at Fu Tiao in a reasonable manner, and asked Fu Tiao to answer the phone. Fu Tiao couldn't say anything, so he could only smile and beg for forgiveness to everyone, then walked outside the house with his mobile phone, connected the phone, and covered the phone with his hands. The phone whispered.

"Hello? What's the matter? I'm rehearsing."

"Sorry Dior, I interrupted your rehearsal, but I hope you can come to the company as soon as possible now, I have something to do with you."

"Come to the company? What are you doing in the company? Are there any new arrangements?" Fu Tiao was puzzled.

The manager didn't hide it, and said directly.

"It's nothing, it's actually a very simple matter. I want to take you to pick up someone from the airport. You don't have a car, so use my car to go there. I'll wait for you downstairs in the company. Please hurry up."

"Pick up? Pick up who?"

Fu Diao looked bewildered, but he didn't expect the manager to directly take over the phone.

He returned to the rehearsal room puzzled, packed up his belongings and ran quickly towards the nearby subway, then took the bus and came downstairs to the Deutsche Grammophon company.

An oversized... van is parked at the entrance of the company?

Fu Tiao couldn't tell whether it should be called a van, an official car, or a nanny's car.

All in all, this is a Mercedes-Benz car that is as dark as a piano and reflects the sun.

His agent was standing at the door of the car with a lot of documents. Seeing his arrival, he immediately opened the door, revealing two rows of leather sofa seats facing each other, and said to Fu Tiao.

"Come in quickly, Fu, we need to go to the airport now, speed."

"Who are you going to pick up?"

After Fu Tiao followed the manager into the car with a puzzled face, the door closed, and with the sound of a smooth motor, the car quickly left the company and walked towards the airport.

On the way to the airport, the manager took out a document from the file bag on the side and handed it to Fu Tiao. After rubbing his temples, he said helplessly to Fu Tiao.

"It's Lang Liangyue. He wants to come to Germany. He will first settle in Berlin. The global company above us has assigned us the reception task. I think you and he are both from the same hometown, and both of them are piano masters. Maybe you You will be more familiar and able to communicate more, so I will bring you along."

"Lang... Liangyue?"

Fu Tiao was taken aback when he heard it, then his pupils dilated slightly, and he asked in disbelief.

　Ready to go back to China, is there any one from Shanghai? Come for supper at 24:11 p.m. on the [-]th?Although I don't have much money, but the money for a supper... maybe maybe there is still some?
