pianist from the sea

Chapter 256 He Can Be Replaced

Lang Liangyue's first half of the concert came to an end very quickly. The sun-like light shone in front of everyone without any cover, showing all the power and beauty of the music .

Listening to Lang Liangyue's music, Fu Tiao couldn't help feeling a little emotional. Sure enough, if it was Lang Liangyue, one of the top pianists in the world, only Lang Liangyue could perform at this level.

After the music ended, Fu Tiao rubbed his shoulders, and went out to rest for a while.

The audience outside the house were obviously very excited about Lang Liangyue's performance today. Even at halftime, they were still immersed in Lang Liangyue's performance just now and couldn't extricate themselves, constantly discussing what Lang Liangyue had just played. those bright spots.

That feeling is absolutely incredible!
Fu Tiao walked out of the concert hall, stood on the balcony on the second floor, twisted his shoulders, and looked around.

For some reason, he seemed to see two acquaintances walking away.

One of them has shaggy hair with a silvery gray streak.

always feel as if...

Argerich?

Looking at Argerich's back, Fu Tiao couldn't help but think so.

Did Argerich come in the first half?She also came to listen to Lang Liangyue's concert?
So why didn't she listen in the second half?Just go straight away?
Fu Tiao picked up the playlist in his hand in a daze, looked at the content on it, and then gradually realized.

It says Lang Liangyue's second half of the show.

Chopin's Four Scherzos.

Unlike the Brahms played by Arkady before, Lang Liangyue did not play any Brahms at this year's Brahms-based music festival, but chose to play Tchaikovus Key and Chopin.

Although this is within the scope allowed by the organizing committee, it always feels like it doesn't match this music festival, and it doesn't even have a big relationship with Kissing's performance before.

As many people thought, Lang Liangyue's confrontation with Kissin was just everyone's wishful thinking, not what Lang Liangyue and Kissin really thought.

However, before Fu Diao clearly remembered that Lang Liangyue seemed to have said that he was going to confront Kissin, when did he stop thinking about it?

Fu Tiao scratched his head, always feeling that something was a little bit wrong.

But now if he is asked to go backstage directly to ask Lang Liangyue, it seems a little bit not good.

After all, no matter what, it was Lang Liangyue's concert now, and he, an outsider, suddenly ran in and asked things, what kind of words.

Fu Tiao pinched his eyebrows, always feeling that something was wrong.

He glanced at the time, and before the reminder bell rang in the concert hall, he returned to his seat and followed the crowd.

I don't know why, is it because he saw Argerich and others leaving, he always felt that there seemed to be a lot fewer people in the concert hall, not as many as he saw when he first came in.

But at a glance, the seats in the concert hall were still full, not as empty as he thought.

Under Fu Tiao's doubts, the lights in the concert hall dimmed again, the stage lights were turned on, and the backstage door opened. Under the gaze of the crowd, Lang Liangyue raised his hand with a smile and waved gently at the crowd.

Whoa!
applause.

Under the applause, Lang Liangyue returned to his seat.

Unlike the previous performance in the first half, he did not lean his body forward, trying to play that soft feeling as much as possible.

Same as the first half, he raised his wrist, took his hands out of his cuffs, looked at the piano in front of him, and let out a long breath.

list!
The moment he raised his hand, the concert hall fell into complete silence.

What broke this tranquility was Lang Liangyue's performance.

Without any hesitation, he directly pressed his hands on the piano.

The sound of the piano is melodious, and the beauty in the music is gorgeous.

This is the strength of Lang Liangyue, the uniqueness of Lang Liangyue, which only belongs to the temperament possessed by Lang Liangyue himself.

Hot as the sun.

Even for Chopin, the Chopin he plays is as hot as the sun, just like his personal character.

Different from the feelings shown by others, this is another kind of Chopin, a radiant Chopin.

Although Lang Liangyue didn't say anything, he looked at everything around him, and with the smile on his mouth, it was obvious that he was very satisfied with his performance.

Although it can't achieve the feeling of harmony between man and nature like a god-level live scene, or a god-level album, this feeling is completely enough.

Chopin's first piano scherzo, if it is played by Fu Tiao, he will play more pain, hesitation, shock, despair, and pile up many emotions on this high-pitched chord, making the beauty of the chord extraordinarily complicated .

But Lang Liangyue, he didn't do that.

He let his light shine over it all.

Even if there is so much badness, pain, discomfort, collapse, and despair in the music.

All of this is just a cutscene in the music, not a scar that accompanies him all his life.

Therefore, the Chopin that Lang Liangyue chooses to interpret is cheerful, positive, and willing to resolve all sorrows with himself.

If interpreted by a more constant Chopin.

Then the Chopin that Fu Tiao may interpret will be more inclined to the image of Chopin in his heart.

But Lang Liangyue is different.

His Chopin is the Chopin in Paris, the Chopin that radiates radiance, and the Chopin that has no worries about everything.

The same is true of the scherzo that he interprets at this moment.

Just like Fu Tiao's mastery of skills, Lang Liangyue's skills are also invincible.

Just like Fu Tiao's interpretation of beauty, Lang Liangyue deliberately slowed down the music to show the beauty of the music more vividly.

But one thing that is different from Fu Tiao is that his Chopin is interpreted in a different way, especially compared with Fu Tiao's, the feeling is completely different.

Fu Tiao was sitting under the stage listening to Lang Liangyue's performance, and couldn't help being taken aback.

The Chopin he heard at this moment was completely different from the Chopin he had imagined.

In the Chopin International Piano Competition, he had never heard Chopin like this.

Fu Tiao is not the kind of person who doesn't care about anything after his own performance, and just goes back to sleep. He also listens to other people's performances.

But obviously, among the Chopin he listened to, no one had a style similar to Lang Liangyue's method of interpretation.

To be precise, Lang Liangyue's performance is purely using his personal strength to overwhelm everything and let Chopin be colored by him.

He is not playing Chopin, he is playing himself.

This way of interpreting music...

Fu Tiao frowned slightly, and after thinking for a long time, he still shook his head slowly.

This method of interpretation is very bad.

He did not like this method of interpretation.

This is not to say that he has been brainwashed by those big bosses to know what is good and what is not.

This is just his own feeling about music, nothing more.

He felt that the Chopin played by Lang Liangyue was not good, and he didn't like this interpretation method, that's all.

Then he thought about it deeply, and found that the main reason why he didn't like this method of interpretation was that Lang Liangyue's personal characteristics were too strong, which made Fu Diao not like it.

Fu Tiao looked around and nodded thoughtfully.

All the people present, except for some Chinese people, other people who can appreciate Lang Liangyue's Chopin may be in the mid-to-seventh, and the highest is to the forty-six.

Even if you add those Chinese people who may not have listened to music much and just come to join in the fun, it is barely possible to reach five or five.

But that's all.

Looking at Lang Liangyue who was playing on the stage at this moment, Fu Tiao couldn't help but have another question in his head.

Why... is he playing Chopin?
Doesn't he know that Chopin is his weakness?

Although Fu Tiao is embarrassed to admit that his Chopin is in the top five in the world, no matter what Fu Tiao thinks, he can't make it to the top ten.

His understanding of Chopin is not as simple and easy as ordinary people, but extremely complicated.

Chopin is not that simple, you can use your own personal characteristics to accommodate all of them.

Lang Liangyue's performance at this moment, it is obvious that he is too good for Lang Liangyue.

You can say that this is a romantic work, you can say that this is a work of Liszt, but you have absolutely no way to say that this is a work of Chopin.

Fu Diao couldn't accept this interpretation, it was too bad.

Although I can hear it, but...

Lang Liangyue's pursuit of music must not just stop at the level of being able to listen.

At the very least, he should pursue something more core.

For example, Brahms' sense of chords and classical sense.

The shell is romantic, but the core is classical.

At least... at least you have to interpret it like that, right?

rather than as it is now.

At this moment, Fu Tiao suddenly had an idea, that is...

He can replace it.

Those who can play the god-level scene, those who play the mysterious and mysterious, are not perfect or invincible.

Their strength lies in what they are good at, nothing more.

Faced with the content they are not good at, then it is obvious.

The level of their performance is probably the level of first-tier and second-tier pianists.

Can listen, but it is limited to being able to listen.

And myself...

Fu Tiao looked at his hand that was holding the playlist, and couldn't help laughing.

And although I don't have a god-level scene, I am not weak.

The gap between second-tier pianists, first-tier pianists, and top pianists is actually not that big.

Everyone has a side that they are good at, and everyone has a side that they are not good at.

Lang Liangyue is a typical example of that.

His personal style is extremely flamboyant, hot, and dazzling, and so is the content he is good at.

Top-notch, superb Liszt, top-notch German-Austrian works, Russian school works, and...

Second-rate Chopin.

Fu Tiao's slightly anxious state of mind calmed down.

Don't deify anyone, everyone has flaws and no one is perfect.

Therefore, I just need to listen to Lang Liangyue's control over the concert hall, as for the others.

It doesn't matter.

His mentality calmed down, and his feeling for the concert hall became deeper.

The ripples generated by the music colliding with the walls of the concert hall and the sense of musical space constructed are their abilities and are worth learning.

Fu Tiao no longer paid attention to Lang Liangyue's performance, but focused on Lang Liangyue's control and technique.

Learning what is useful to you and giving up what is useless to you is the most correct way to learn.

For a person like Lang Liangyue, it is absolutely impossible to fully accept it.

after all……

Fu Tiao is not Lang Liangyue, and his music is not that hot like the sun.

Lang Liangyue on the stage didn't know that Fu Tiao's opinion of him had changed, he just played all the content according to his own habits.

Chopin's [-]st, [-]nd, [-]rd, [-]th Scherzo.

These are some of the best versions of his Chopin works, at least better than his ballades and the like.

His ability to play it also proves that he has confidence in his scherzo.

It's just that he didn't think of it, or he thought of it, but he forgot one thing, that is, Fu Diao may be the person who is best at playing Chopin on this stage, except for Argerich.

The music flowed, and it didn't take long for the final chord to be reached.

Under those few chords, Lang Liangyue's hand slammed down hard, and the music ended here.

Whoa!
Applause sounded, Lang Liangyue stood up with a smile, and bowed gracefully to all the audience around her.

And this brought even bigger applause.

Under the applause, Lang Liangyue quickly returned to his lounge, and after a rest, he went on stage to play an encore for everyone.

Liszt's Dream of Love is the third and most famous work.

Lang Liangyue's full strength is vividly displayed on this set of works. He profoundly interprets what is called a real Liszt master, the king of Liszt, and the god of piano.

Obviously it's just an encore, but in Fu Tiao's side, the encore played by Lang Liangyue is much higher than the Chopin he just played.

Fu Tiao thought for a while, but in the end he didn't say anything. When everyone applauded and Lang Liangyue bowed, he got up and left the scene, and came to the backstage.

Everyone in the backstage was still as busy as before. Lang Liangyue's assistant, Gina, did not appear in the backstage, but in the audience.

Fu Tiao was standing at the entrance of the backstage, and through the opening of the door, he could directly see Gina's longingly looking eyes at Lang Liangyue, that undisguised admiration.

click...

Before Fu Tiao could react, the door of the concert hall was opened again. Lang Liangyue walked down from the stage and looked at Fu Tiao in a daze.

Before Fu Tiao could speak, he nodded at Fu Tiao with a smile and said.

"Fu Tiao, why did you come backstage? What's the matter? Do you have any thoughts about today's performance? I played well, right?"

"Played..."

Fu Tiao originally wanted to say that it was not bad, but in the end he didn't say it, but just lowered his head.

Lang Liangyue didn't know why Fu Tiao was like this, he could only smile, reached out and squeezed Fu Tiao's shoulder, and said to him.

"It seems that you have some questions you want to tell me, but don't worry, I'll go to the curtain call first, and you can discuss it with me after the curtain call is over, just in the waiting room we just had."

"okay."

Fu Tiao nodded, turned around and walked towards the lounge, while Lang Liangyue looked at Fu Tiao's back, remained silent for a long time, and finally returned to the stage with a smile on his face, and made another curtain call to the endless applause .

Fu Tiao pushed open the door and stood in the lounge of the concert hall.

He looked at everything in the house, remembered what Lang Liangyue said before, thought for a while, and stood where Lang Liangyue was standing before.

That is, in front of Karajan, the god of command.

Karajan's eyes were sharp, and he swung the baton behind him. Even though it was just a photo, Fu Tiao could still see Karajan's bohemian temperament in it.

This aura...is very interesting.

Incomparable confidence in oneself, respect for surrounding affairs, thinking about music, and control over the band.

Even if it's just a snapshot of a character, it directly captures all of Karajan's temperament, which is extraordinarily attractive.

Fu Diao suddenly thought of Lang Liangyue as well.

I have great confidence in myself and believe that I can solve everything.

Even though the version of Chopin he played does not seem to be the most convincing version, he still chooses to play it because he believes that he can play it well and can convince the audience.

Even if the effect is relatively ordinary, he will do so.

So... do I also have this qualification?

Fu Tiao couldn't help being taken aback.

He is one of the youngest pianists in the Chopin International Piano Competition.

He is also a pianist who has toured concerts around the world.

These few tour concerts of his own have even won countless praises, and the supply of tickets is in short supply.

Although I don't have a god-level scene, I'm just an ordinary first-class pianist, but I'm not bad, I just don't have a scene or album that can prove myself.

That's it.

That being the case...

Fu Tiao thought for a while, he didn't know what to say to Lang Liangyue, since he had nothing to say, he just left.

I still have a few months, and I can still improve.

Although there is Arkady standing in front of him right now, his god-level live performance makes people feel hopeless, and there is no chance to surpass it.

but!

He believes that he can surpass it!
because……

"I'm Fu Tiao..."

Fu Hua squeezed Lang Liangyue's playlist hard, then slowly released it, and put it on the piano.

Lang Liangyue and Kissin, after hearing Arkadi's god-level scene, they had no motivation to move on and compete for the first place, it doesn't matter.

He will fight for it.

He wants to prove to himself that he is not far from the circle of top pianists.

The only difference is the finishing touch at the end.

Fu Tiao turned and left without any nostalgia.

After an unknown amount of time, Lang Liangyue returned to the backstage with a smile on his face. He was originally a Fu Tiao waiting for him here, but he didn't expect to find a copy of his playlist on his piano.

The program list was slightly wrinkled, as if it had been squeezed hard.

He looked at the playlist in front of him thoughtfully, and remained silent.

"Liang Yue, what's the matter?" Gina behind her asked inexplicably.

Lang Liangyue didn't answer, but turned around and put his arms around Gina's shoulder, and said with a smile.

"No, it's nothing, it just feels like someone has made a certain decision."
