pianist from the sea

Chapter 253 Eureka!
The sense of space in music.

Before Fu Tiao, he had actually considered a little bit about the sense of space in music.

But later on, he completely gave up on this idea. The reason is very simple, because most of the time he doesn’t use the sense of space of this music at all, or his limit has not yet reached the kind of sense of space that needs to be controlled by music. The point where the tone is enhanced.

If you pay attention to the performances of many musicians, you will obviously find that their god-level performances definitely do not mean that their so-and-so recordings are particularly good, or that such-and-such works are particularly good.

Instead, it will be more detailed to say that the version of a certain work in a certain concert hall has a particularly good effect.

For example, Lang Liangyue's Passionate Sonata at Carnegie Hall.

Before Arkady was at Carnegie's Brahms.

And Zimmerman's studio version, too many.

If you need to bring the time to be more accurate, it will look more professional.

After all, many pianists may be lucky enough to perform in a certain concert hall for the first time, and then go to this concert hall later. If they are unlucky, they will not perform.

However, because they are more familiar with this concert hall, they can perform more smoothly in such a concert hall.

Even if the level of strength is relatively average, their performance is obviously better than that of other non-home concert halls.

Therefore, if you listen to it for a long time, you can clearly hear the degree of each musician's control over different concert halls.

At the same time, you can also hear that certain concert halls are easier to control and easier to produce results.

And which concert halls have relatively average effects, it is difficult to control, and it is also difficult to produce results.

These can be easily discovered through constant comparison.

At this time, Fu Tiao couldn't help but think of the words He Shen said to him when he was in the Chopin International Piano Competition.

Why are all the pianists present, or the players preparing to participate in the competition, all of them two, three, or even more people in the concert hall for the final confirmation before the competition.

The reason is simple, because it is absolutely impossible for them to control this concert hall perfectly.

Under such circumstances, the best way for them is to ask their teachers and companions to help them listen to what kind of piano they use in the concert hall with the best effect and how they should play.

How should we control this field.

After all, the people present were basically young people, and they were all pianists who hadn't yet become famous. Everyone's level was not bad, and they were basically thinking about their own professional level, and they hadn't reached the level of considering the concert hall.

The same is true for Fu Tiao.

This is the main reason why He Shen helped Fu Tiao to debug in the Chopin Concert Hall to see how it should be played.

But at that time, Fu Diao's main thoughts were not on the entire concert hall. He basically put all his attention on the piano, thinking about how he should play the piano, so he didn't care much about it at the time. the words said.

Now it seems……

He Shen deserves to be the top five or even the top three players of Huaguo Chopin.

He has achieved the ability to control the concert hall a long time ago, and while being able to feel the concert hall, he is still improving his professional level.

The level he is showing in front of everyone now may not be his full level.

therefore……

Fu Tiao couldn't help but feel a little bit emotional when he thought of the convenience of this place. It was only at this moment that he suddenly realized that his teacher didn't seem so simple.

If there is a chance, it might be better to meet He Shen a few more times and chat more.

but……

Fu Tiao looked at Lang Liangyue, who was listening to the music very seriously, and a thought flashed in his mind.

However, maybe I don't have to ask He Shen to help me, maybe I...

Can you learn something from Lang Liangyue?
If Lang Liangyue is willing to teach.

Fu Tiao's thoughts quickly drifted out of his head, and he put his attention back on the music, listening to Kissin's performance.

In any case, the most important thing now is to go and listen to Kissing's performance.

To be honest, Fu Diao feels a little pity for Kissin now.

After all, the level of Kissing's performance is really very good. Just from his performance, you can tell that his control of music, aesthetics, and space can definitely be regarded as the world's top pianist.

If according to the existing strength, after removing those pianists who are old, physically weak, and whose performance level keeps declining every year, but because they were strong and famous when they were young, and thus occupied high positions, Kissin might reach the top [-] in the world. Even the top ten levels in the world.

Of course, this is Fu Tiao's idea of ​​Kissing, in fact Kissing's specific number of Fu Tiao is not clear.

In today's situation, Kissing is really a bit too pity.

His current level has steadily reached below the god level, and his control over this concert hall can basically be regarded as very good.

Or in Fu Tiao's eyes, he has already reached a perfect state. As for whether he has gone further, Fu Tiao is not quite sure.

Under such circumstances, everything that is unfolding in front of Fu Tiao at this moment is particularly interesting.

Two contestants who also belong to the Russian school of music, one won the first god-level scene of this year's Ruhr Music Festival, which is almost equivalent to the best newcomer of this year.

And the second place has a kind of aura of self-respect below the god level. In a more human way, what Fu Tiao has heard so far, apart from those god-level performances, probably the best ones are also It's a performer like Kissing.

Facing such a performer, how will Lang Liangyue respond?
Fu Diao looked at Lang Liangyue beside him, but Lang Liangyue still listened to Kissin's performance with frown. Gradually, there was a slight relief.

Lang Liangyue seemed to have noticed Fu Tiao's gaze, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Fu Tiao, and asked with a smile.

"Fu Tiao, what's the matter? Is there anything you want to ask?"

"No, nothing."

Fu Tiao shook his head, but didn't say anything.

Since Lang Liangyue was unwilling to speak first, there was no need for him to ask if there was anything.

An An just waited for Lang Liangyue's performance with peace of mind.

only……

Fu Tiao turned his gaze over Lang Liangyue to Gina who was beside Lang Liangyue, and couldn't help being a little curious.

Gina doesn't know why, but she doesn't worry about Lang Liangyue at all. Does she really believe in Lang Liangyue's strength?
Fu Tiao thought about it, but didn't delve into it too much. He sat quietly in his seat, waiting for Kissin's encore to end, and then prepared to leave.

However, just when he was about to leave, Lang Liangyue suddenly grabbed Fu Tiao, smiled at Fu Tiao, and said.

"Fu Tiao, if I remember correctly, you seem to be performing with Zhao Chengzhen and Hamelin, right? You are on the third day in Essen, and Zhao Chengzhen is in Duisburg on the first day, haha Merlin's next day, in Mülheim, isn't it?"

"Well, yes, but my work has not been submitted to the organizing committee, it is just a simple rough draft."

Fu Tiao said honestly to Lang Liangyue, "I haven't decided what to play yet."

"It doesn't matter if you're not sure what to play. You wait a little bit. After everyone has left, you wait a little longer in this place and wait for me. I need to start familiarizing myself with the venue in advance. You just happened to be in this place to help me listen to it." Listen to the feeling."

After finishing speaking, Lang Liangyue patted Fu Tiao's shoulder, stood up easily, and was about to walk towards the backstage.

It's just that when he walked over, he suddenly remembered something, turned his head to look at Gina and Fu Tiao, nodded with a cheerful smile, and said.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, I will come to Essen to try out the piano at about nine o'clock tomorrow morning, if you are free, you can come and listen, Gina, you too , Come if you are free, forget it if you are not free, it’s actually good to listen to the rehearsal more.”

"Ok."

Fu Tiao and Gina nodded at the same time, and after the crowd dispersed, they each found a place to sit down.

The position chosen by Fu Diao is the fifth row in the middle of the concert hall with the best acoustics. This position is not too far in front or too far behind, and it is almost the center of the echo of the entire concert hall.

He wanted to hear what the most beautiful effect was when Lang Liangyue performed the works.

And Gina ran to a very remote and far away place and sat down. If it wasn't for Fu Tiao Gina and some cleaning staff left in the concert hall, Fu Tiao couldn't even find Gina s position.

Not long after the two sat down firmly, Lang Liangyue came out of the concert hall, looked at Fu Tiao and Gina, couldn't help laughing, nodded at them, and said.

"The two of you chose this position, it's really..."

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Fu Tiao looked at his position in confusion, then turned to look at Lang Liangyue, and asked blankly, "Is there anything wrong with this position?"

"It's definitely not bad, it's just that I suddenly remembered something."

Lang Liangyue casually opened her tablet and placed it on the piano shelf in front of her, turned around and sat sideways on the piano bench, and smiled at Fu Tiao.

"When I was not famous before, my father liked to do this. When I was rehearsing and performing, I sat in the farthest seat alone, and then did not let my relatives sit in the fourth row, because four Damn, said my concert would be screwed up if someone in the family sat in the [-]th row, so no one I ever knew sat in the [-]th row while my dad was watching me perform Pass."

"But later..."

Lang Liangyue smacked his mouth: "I played everywhere by myself in the back, and there were many people sitting in the fourth row. I haven't seen such a seat arrangement for a long time, and I miss it."

After that, he waved his hand, turned to face the piano, and spoke to Fu Tiao and Gina in the distance.

"Forget it, it's just a sudden thought of this, it's not a big deal, don't think too much, Fu Tiao, I'm going to start playing now, pay attention and listen, help me listen to the echo of the music."

"Ah."

Fu Tiao nodded, and before Fu Tiao started, Lang Liangyue focused his attention on the music, fixedly staring at the piano in front of him, and glanced at the flat laying rack from the corner of his eye. On the iPad, the fingers run quickly.

hum...

The piano sounded instantly.

Fu Tiao's attention was immediately the same as when he was listening to Kissin's performance before, focusing on the piano and the echo of the entire concert hall, and paying attention to Lang Liangyue's control of the music.

But before he could speak, Lang Liangyue spoke first.

"Pay attention, the echo from the place in the northeast direction I just had is a bit weak. That place should be to the left of Area A. I remember, and there are also Areas D and E on the second floor. The music in this place needs to be revised."

Fu Tiao was taken aback, and immediately turned his attention to the echo from the right.

He didn't feel anything at first, but after hearing Lang Liangyue's voice, Fu Tiao did feel something was wrong.

Compared with the music in other directions, the music in that direction is indeed a little weaker, and the overall balance is slightly out of balance.

Faced with this situation, Lang Liangyue reduced some weight on her hands, but gave more thrust when going to the bottom note, instead of pressing from top to bottom.

For those who don't know the piano, there seems to be no big difference between playing the piano from top to bottom and pushing the piano from the top to the front. After all, they use fingers to press the keys to let the hammer hit the strings.

But in fact, the feelings brought by these two playing methods are completely different.

The music brought by purely hitting the piano directly from top to bottom is more clean and neat, and it will also appear more boring.

But using the feeling of pushing to play the piano can make the overall performance of the music softer and make the music flow more fully in the space.

This is the art of touch keys. Different touch keys bring completely different feelings. Use the subtle gap between touch keys to make the change of music more delicate. You can even control the feeling of the sound bouncing back when it touches the wall. different.

Among countless feelings, find the one that you think is most suitable for this stage.

This is the real direction to go.

Of course, it must be mentioned that some pianists or students like to vibrato the strings after playing a note on the piano, which is definitely useless.

This is purely psychological.

After all, you need to know that the piano itself is a percussion instrument. To be more precise, you can say that it is a percussion instrument, using percussion techniques to play the instrument.

Speaking of vibrato for a percussion instrument, this is a bit beyond the scope of the percussion instrument's ability.

Even Lang Liangyue, who likes to perform on stage so much, would not do movements like rubbing strings. It is conceivable that such movements are full of strong performance meaning.

This is just off topic.

From the very beginning, Fu Tiao didn't capture a lot of the feeling of music and house integration.

He only felt it when he heard the three-dimensional sound of the music at the beginning.

Later, under the reminder of Lang Liangyue, he gradually grasped the essence of the music space, and understood how to integrate his music with the venue, and how to maximize the effect of his music in the venue.

This feeling made Fu Diao feel enlightened.

The reason why Fu Diao didn't know this technique was not because he was not good enough. In fact, the main reason was that he had never been exposed to similar content.

This technique is not a very old one. If it is actually told, this kind of thinking about the concert hall is probably a new playing technique that existed only a few decades ago.

After all, a long time ago, the vast majority of performers were inclined to chamber music or symphony.

The specifications of the concert halls where everyone plays are fixed, and there are few changes.

At that time, everyone's definition of a god-level scene was basically luck.

The right time, place and people are all that is needed.

With the development of technology of the times, not only the development of classical music, but also the progress of acoustic technology, the construction of concert halls is becoming more and more strange, and the transmission of sound is also more efficient, which makes more and more of performers notice differences in performance structure between different concert halls and require changes in the playing methods that need to be used.

This also allowed the conditions of the god-level scene to gradually evolve from the original time and people and two items to the right time, place and people and three items.

The use of the venue has gradually become an important content that many pianists need to think about when they perform.

Now what Lang Liangyue handed over to Fu Tiao is his attempt on this concert hall.

After all, both Fu Tiao and he performed in this Essen concert hall.

This concert hall is not the same concept as the traditional type of concert hall where Arkady was located. This concert hall has higher requirements and the situation is more complicated.

If the same, if these pianists can perform superb live performances in the concert hall of Essen, then their effects must be better than those of the Mülheim City Hall.

When it comes time to judge the best newcomer of the year award, the jury will be more inclined to the god-level scene of a new type of concert hall in Essen compared to the god-level scene in Mülheim.

Of course, all of this has to be based on the fact that Fu Tiao, Lang Liangyue and others can perform superbly on the spot.

Fu Tiao listened to what Lang Liangyue said with his mouth that his music was not in line with the concert hall, and reflected it with what he heard.

With the help of Lang Liangyue, he already had a preliminary understanding of this concert hall, probably had a model, and knew what the direction of his future efforts should be like.

With the two people's non-stop experiments and thinking, the time soon came to the next day.

The day of Lang Liangyue's official performance.

　Sister CJ is so pretty, woo woo woo...
