pianist from the sea

Chapter 255 And Fu Tiao

Lang Liangyue stood on the stage, waving to everyone, with a smile on his face, and there was no way to hide the hot temperament like the sun on his body.

He didn't appear in front of everyone in a tuxedo with a baggy bag like those traditional old-fashioned pianists. He just wore a very simple black casual suit with a white shirt inside.

The buttons of the shirt were not tied up to the neck, but stopped at the chest, and a simple tie without much decoration was casually hung.

It can only be called formal. If it is particularly solemn, then it seems a bit bragging.

Lang Liangyue's performance was just like his clothes, relaxed and freehand, not caring about what was there or what was missing, waved to everyone, and then sat in front of the piano bench.

After he pushed back the suit that had reached his wrist, he leaned forward slightly, laying gently on the piano keyboard, and looked at the keyboard in front of him tenderly.

There was no sound, just leaning forward like this, everyone in the concert hall became extremely quiet, staring at Lang Liangyue, waiting for his performance.

When everyone's voices were at their quietest, Lang Liangyue finally moved, and his fingers gently rested on the piano.

The extremely soft music flowed out of his hands, just like his personal characteristics, the power under that music rushed out of Lang Liangyue's body without any concealment.

This is the characteristic of Lang Liangyue's music!That unique feeling that only belongs to Lang Liangyue's performance.

Under this feeling, Fu Tiao even felt that he was not just listening to Lang Liangyue's works, he even had a feeling that he was communicating with Lang Liangyue face to face.

Fu Tiao looked at Lang Liangyue in front of him, slightly shocked.

Sure enough, just as he had imagined, Lang Liangyue's ability and strength had almost reached the strongest level he could imagine, except for the god-level live performances that could only be performed by chance. .

Compared with yesterday's Kissing, the strength of the two is comparable.

this level?The performance of this music?The performance of this music?

Shocked!

This is the only sentence Fu Tiao wants to say.

Lang Liangyue is not one of those old and weak veteran masters, he is a new group of pianists, and he is in his prime.

His physical strength is stronger than that of all pianists. Even though he is fat, he is actually more inclined to be strong than simply fat.

His understanding of music may be inferior to those of the elderly pianists, but it is obvious.

Those old pianists may no longer be able to perfectly play what they think, but Lang Liangyue himself is different. He can play his ideas very clearly, and even use his fingers For the interpretation of musical beauty, there are occasional breakthroughs.

It may be possible to count all the attributes of several dimensions of everyone. Lang Liangyue is really qualified to aspire to the status of the world's strongest piano player.

If these attributes are drawn with a six-dimensional picture, it will be obvious.

Lang Liangyue was the purest hexagonal warrior, the strongest without any weaknesses.

Except that his personal style is too strong and conceals the style of the works too much, making all the works sound the same, and they all have the taste of Lang Liangyue, he has no weaknesses.

Even so, there is definitely no problem in the level of his performances of Chopin, Bach, and Mozart. All the works can be excellent, that is, the level of 80 points or above.

It's just that for a top pianist like him, his qualifying standard is not 80 points, but... 99 points!
This is the main reason why many people say that Lang Liangyue's Chopin is bad and Mozart is bad.

It was similar to the feeling of Fu Tiao before.

When Fu Tiao first came here, he didn’t understand Chopin at all. The feeling he played can only be said to be a pass line, about 70 points. Chopin without Chopin can be listened to. The music is beautiful, but it is only limited to listening , very beautiful.

But this level of performance, among a large number of people with a score of around 80, seems somewhat limited.

Except for the three composers who are particularly difficult to interpret, the works of others are not so complicated.

For example, at this moment, the works played by Lang Liangyue.

Fu Tiao thought for a while, slowly raised his hand, and looked at the content displayed on Lang Liangyue's personal information.

Tchaikovsky, Four Seasons.

This is a piano work, a collection of piano pieces commissioned by Tchaikovsky in the creation of the ballet music "Swan Lake" from 1875 to 1876.

Among all the piano pieces, just like Schumann's "Forest Scene", which transformed the description of nature into music, Tchaikovsky used the same method as Chopin's Ballad to transform his impressions of the four seasons into music. Transformed into poetry and then into music.

From this music, you can clearly feel the creator's unswerving emotion for the land under his feet, as well as the eternal praise of love.

There are a total of twelve pieces in this set of works, and each month is used as the title to perform.

Every month, there are corresponding natural landscapes and unique local folk customs.

And at this moment, Lang Liangyue's "Four Seasons" op37-1, January, is just like that.

January is the main title, and Fireside is the subtitle.

"In that quiet and comfortable corner, the hazy night has been shrouded, the spark in the fireplace is about to go out, and the dim light in the candle is still flickering and flickering."

The gloomy and melancholy melody and soothing monotonous rhythm pulled everyone out of their seats and into the lonely and sad winter.

Lang Liangyue tapped his fingers on the piano softly and forcefully, and the soft candlelight in the room and the crazy blizzard outside the window were vividly displayed in his hands.

Lang Liangyue can easily control the two completely different feelings.

This level of strength, this skill control.

Although Fu Tiao can also do it, and can do it better than Lang Liangyue, but at this moment, the content displayed in Lang Liangyue's hands is more suitable for this stage than Fu Tiao's performance.

That is, the effect is better.

Fu Tiao can only say that Lang Liangyue deserves to be Lang Liangyue.

At the end of the first movement, Lang Liangyue entered the second movement not long after.

And enter the second movement, which is the second month, the carnival.

In this place, Lang Liangyue's characteristics are truly reflected.

Lang Liangyue slightly raised his hand, but his fingers slammed down.

The sound representing traditional Russian dance music appeared on the stage instantly, and the characteristics of the carnival immediately emerged.

There is no need for Lang Liangyue to speak at all, or even anyone's explanation. Just listening to Lang Liangyue's performance, you can directly think of the cheers before the carnival.

The characteristics of the two-time dance music directly inspired the most joyous and festive atmosphere in the music.

"Great!"

Fu Tiao couldn't help but nodded when he heard this place.

Sure enough, Lang Liangyue was really good.

Even though he has never heard Tchaikovsky's other works, he can hear the Tchaikovsky feeling in Lang Liangyue's music just by listening to Lang Liangyue's performance.

This feeling is very interesting and interesting.

The faster the place, the better Lang Liangyue's performance felt.

It is clear that his technique allows him to master the allegro movements to the highest degree.

And Fu Diao is obviously the opposite of Lang Liangyue.

What Fu Tiao is best at is the Adagio movement.

The slower the music, the more space Fu Tiao can play.

The stronger his ability to control music, the more comfortable the aesthetic feeling in music.

The styles of the two are completely different, but there is no gap between the two, and they seem extraordinarily harmonious.

This is very interesting.

Thinking of this place, Fu Tiao couldn't help but smile, and continued to look at everything on the stage.

Under such music, everyone was almost completely attracted by Lang Liangyue.

The carnival in February is over soon, and the time has come to March.

In March, Song of the Lark, G minor, expressive andante, the melody is exceptionally dexterous, and countless end moves and embellishments form the spring scenery when the lark sings joyously.

It's March and winter is coming to an end.

And the most special thing about Russia is the expression of the end of winter, just like Huaguo likes to welcome spring with swallows, what they like to use is the skylark.

The flowers are swaying in the wind in the fields, the sun is shining brightly everywhere, the larks in spring are singing to their heart's content, and the blue sky is echoing with the singing of spring.

This is the song of the lark, the song of March.

Although the speed is not fast, Lang Liangyue's performance is not bad.

In addition, March is only a very short part, so it was quickly skipped directly, and the time came to April.

In April, the pine snow grass, the spring is getting stronger, and the winter is dissipating.

Light green, fresh and tender pine snow grass, with the remnant snow in the early spring snuggling beside it, the sorrow and distress of the past, only the last few tears are still flowing at this moment, the happiness of the past will bring you new fantasies.

The speed slowed down again at this place, and the longing and dreams of early spring emerged in Lang Liangyue's music.

Like Mendelssohn's Song Without Words, Tchaikovsky's April has a very similar effect, and uses more dissonance to add musical effects, making the music more dramatic.

Interesting, really interesting.

On this stage, Lang Liangyue didn't play Liszt, Beethoven, etc., which he was best at, and he was more inclined to fast-paced works. Instead, he simply showed the slow movement that he is not characteristic of. , Try to broaden your musical path.

This feeling is very interesting, even if Fu Tiao has only listened to a little bit, he can't help but be attracted by Lang Liangyue.

It's interesting and interesting.

This is Fu Tiao's first thought about Lang Liangyue's performance at this moment.

He fumbled for his chin, lost in thought.

I came here not to appreciate Lang Liangyue's performance, but to listen to Lang Liangyue's performance, but to hear what Lang Liangyue can achieve under the control of the concert hall stated by Lang Liangyue. What is the effect of.

And how to control the sense of space between music.

But when he heard Lang Liangyue's first work, Fu Tiao couldn't help but be attracted by Lang Liangyue's performance, and put his attention completely on Lang Liangyue's music. As for the purpose of his coming Already a little bit forgotten.

This is definitely not because Lang Liangyue is targeting Fu Tiao intentionally or unintentionally, but because Lang Liangyue is too powerful, and may be the top performers in the world, so whether it is Fu Tiao, or other people who are sitting in the distance People, too.

At this moment, in the far corner, an old woman with gray hair was sitting there with her eyes closed, listening to Lang Liangyue's performance.

Listening, I couldn't help but opened my eyes, looked at the other old man beside me, couldn't help smiling, poked him, and said.

"Daniel, have you heard Lang Liangyue's performance? His level and strength are really strong. He is indeed the strongest pianist of the younger generation. I even feel that he can advance towards the strongest pianist in the world."

"Marta, I'm not Beethoven..."

If Fu Tiao was sitting here, he would definitely recognize the two people sitting here at this moment.

Marta Argerich, and Daniel Barenboim.

These two people just sat in the corner like ordinary passers-by, just listening to Lang Liangyue's performance.

It's like an old man who comes out for a walk after eating.

After hearing Daniel's words, Marta couldn't help laughing.

"I know you are not deaf, this is just my emotion, according to my thinking, Lang Liangyue's current level should surpass mine, right?"

"If your words are released, there will definitely be a large group of people coming to scold Lang Liangyue to death. You are not helping him, you are harming him!"

Daniel Barenboim couldn't help but whispered.

He looked at Fu Tiao, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said softly.

"However, Lang Liangyue's level and strength are indeed the same. After all, we are all old. Although we can continue to play, we still have a slight physical weakness. I remember that you haven't practiced your prokofier much recently. Rachmaninoff’s Second Piano Concerto, right? And Rachmaninoff’s Second and Third Piano Concerto, I remember you haven’t played it for a long time.”

"I can't help it. I'm old, so I must take more rest. Haven't you held a concert for a long time? Recently, I have received a lot of orchestras. What's the matter? I'm tired of being a pianist, and I want to try it out. Are you going to be the commander?"

"It's definitely not the case. How could I give up my career as a pianist and completely turn to conducting?"

Barenboim couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

As Argerich said, he has recently been considering switching from a pianist to a conductor.

As I get older, my fingers really don't work anymore, and my body is getting weaker and weaker.

Even though he has a lot of ideas for many things, in the end, it is basically difficult to realize them because of his fingers.

This is why he chose to shift his focus from piano to teaching and conducting.

Although it is said that conducting also requires strength and strength, compared with the piano, the strength of conducting is still much, much less.

Unless he never plays any more difficult works in his life, and only plays some simple works for fun, it will be really difficult for him to continue to make further development on the piano.

Even when he plays some Beethoven's works, he only chooses to play after a long break, instead of directly taking out the whole set of Beethoven's works in the concert as he did when he was young. Ten hours without rest.

It's because people are old and don't have so much energy, which is the main reason why Argerich, Barenboim and others feel envious when they listen to Lang Liangyue's performance.

Argerich looked at Lang Liangyue on the stage. For some reason, she suddenly thought of someone. She picked up the program list in her hand and handed it to Barenboim, smiling.

"Although Lang Liangyue's Tchaikovsky played well in the first half today, to be honest, I'm not too optimistic about his second half."

"Second half? Why?"

Barenboim picked up the program list in his hand and watched it, and realized it instantly.

"Oh, Chopin."

On the program list in front of the two of them, Lang Liangyue's performance in the second half was clearly written.

Chopin's Four Scherzos.

If it is a normal performance, there is actually no problem. Although Lang Liangyue’s Chopin has a taste of Lang Liangyue, it doesn’t feel like Chopin. You can only understand that this is Chopin’s work, and you can’t hear other works. Things, but the level of people is also good.

After all, the level of 80 points is placed here, no matter how bad it is, it is much better than other people's Chopin.

If it is a competition purely based on piano level, rather than the Chopin International Piano Competition, Lang Liangyue may still be able to enter the finals with this set of Chopin.

But what to say...

Now Lang Liangyue's problem is not here.

Barenboim was taken aback when he heard Argerich's words, looked at her, and asked curiously.

"Why? What's wrong with Lang Liangyue's Chopin? I know his Chopin is mediocre, but I shouldn't be unimpressed, right? His level is not bad? After all, the strongest of the younger generation, that is, people like Kissin, can beat one Hit, others are not easy to touch."

"Yes, his level is indeed like this, and his Chopin is not bad. It can only be said that compared with his other works, it is not very good, and it is definitely not bad, but the problem is not his own problem, but his own. ..."

Argerich looked forward.

She had seen Fu Diao sitting in the front row in the distance from a very early age.

However, due to personal habits, she didn't like to show her face very much, so she didn't go up to say hello, but just silently remembered it in her heart.

She looked at Fu Tiao who was watching Lang Liangyue play seriously from a distance, and she couldn't help smiling and said.

"The problem is, at the scene, besides me, there is another young person with strong Chopin strength."

"Fu Diao."
