pianist from the sea

Chapter 260 Hugging left and right to Essen

Because he simply changed his clothes in the toilet and rinsed his head, the muscles on Fu Tiao's body were well covered by those shirts and no longer emerged.

As the saying goes, you look thinner when you wear clothes, and you look fleshier when you take them off.

When he pushed open the door of Klaus' room, a wave of heat rushed towards him in an instant, and Fu Tiao couldn't help but backed away a little.

There is no air-conditioning in Deutschland, and even the school does not specially install air-conditioning.

In addition, because people in Germany especially like the feeling of basking in the sun, compared with the piano room, the layout of these classrooms will be more biased towards those directions that can bask in the sun, so that even if the lights are not turned on in the room, you can Can feel the heat of the sun.

Therefore, after Fu Tiao opened the door, the intense heat wave far beyond the piano room rushed towards him, making it difficult for him to adapt for a while.

However, Professor Claus in the room didn't have any special reaction. He was already a little old, and he seemed to be used to the scorching heat, and he even seemed to be enjoying the slight pain of the sun burning his skin.

In Fu Tiao's sight, the old white man's body had already had a touch of red, just like they were burned by the sun on vacation on the beach.

Under the heat wave, Klaus looked away from the books in front of him, turned his head to look at Fu Tiao who had just walked in, nodded involuntarily, and asked with a smile.

"Dio, you're here, how are you doing?"

"Everything is going well, Mr. Claus!"

Fu Tiao entered the room and gently tugged at his clothes. Although it might seem a little unrefined, he couldn't get used to this kind of sauna-like room at all.

This place is even more outrageous than a piano room.

Even after just entering it for a few minutes, Fu Tiao felt like he was about to sweat again from the clothes he just changed.

No, it's not about sweating, but I can already feel the sweat secreted from the skin of my body, slowly flowing from my neck, into my waist and abdomen, and finally absorbed by the shirt on my body.

"But...Mr. Claus, don't you think the room is too stuffy?"

"Have it?"

Klaus was taken aback, looked at the window beside him, couldn't help smiling and asked, "How about...open the window for you?"

"is it okay?"

"Of course!"

Klaus got up with a smirk, twisted the handle of the closed window, and didn't even open it. Because of the special design of the teaching building, there was no breeze, and the heat wave comparable to the scorching sun was like fleeing. Inside the slightly scorching heat.

The ventilation system in the room suddenly let out a painful cry, as if it had reached its limit, and if it continued to work harder, it would be completely broken.

And at this moment, Klaus closed the window again, looked at Fu Tiao who had sweat on his clothes behind him, and couldn't help but smile.

"Do you want to open the window now?"

"No, forget it, it's actually good to keep it as it is."

Fu Tiao scratched his head with a headache, put the things in his hands on the shelf at the door, walked to Klaus and sat down.

The summer in Europe is very short, and sometimes you can't feel the existence of summer at all.

Places like Berlin are actually quite comfortable, and you can feel the heat of summer, but in some places, such as Baden-Wurttemberg, it is obviously June and July, but suddenly you put on down jackets, and it is raining outside. Blizzard.

Looking at the blizzard, one even wondered whether he was in the southern hemisphere or the northern hemisphere.

Or maybe a magician unleashed a spell of ice?

Klaus seemed to understand Fu Tiao's feelings very well, so he stopped chatting and spoke directly.

"Dior, I'm sorry to ask you to come over before you leave. Although it feels a bit nonsense, I still want to ask you, how do you feel about your practice? Do you feel about the same? I haven't been in school for the past few days , I didn't hear your full version, it's a pity..."

"Well, it's almost there. I've reached the limit, and I won't make much progress if I play it further down, so I haven't continued playing for the time being."

Fu Tiao pulled his clothes again, and smiled at Klaus.

He has been practicing Beethoven since Klaus took him to analyze Lang Liangyue's strengths and weaknesses, and how he should play Beethoven.

It took him three days to pull down this set of Beethoven's works, and he was able to play it without any mistakes.

Then he spent another ten days pulling Beethoven's set of works to the peak that he could understand, that is, what Klaus told him before, the peak state that ordinary people can achieve, 144 points high score.

In nearly a month, he reached the limit of improvement, the limit of 154 points, and every point of improvement after that was far beyond the previous difficulty.

Fortunately, today, that is, more than a month and a half, nearly two months later, Fu Tiao finally pulled his own Beethoven to this position of 160 points.

He has reached the limit that he can achieve, and it is also the limit that most people can achieve.

As for whether it can exceed the original score of this work and break through the paper score, then it can only depend on luck.

To be honest, Beethoven's difficulty is far lower than Fu Tiao's imagination. The difficulty is really not difficult, and it is really easy to play it.

But the crux of the problem is still that sentence. It is much, much more difficult to play well.

After Fu Tiao completely reached the high score of 160 points, he understood what Klaus said at the time, and couldn't help but agree with it.

Klaus didn't know what Fu Tiao was thinking at all, he was just shocked.

Looking at Fu Tiao in front of him, he always felt that Fu Tiao had undergone many changes that he was not aware of.

Just like a deep pool, you never know how deep it is.

Or magma, even if there is a layer of magma floating on the surface, it doesn't seem to be dangerous, but underneath him, there are tens of millions of energies, waiting to be released, blooming with scorching light like the scorching sun.

It's just that the scorching sun didn't seem to be as hot as the sun like Lang Liangyue, but boiling like water.

Everything was under Fu Tiao's calm eyes, making it impossible to understand his thoughts.

And that feeling... fits perfectly with Klaus' idea of ​​passion.

Calmness is the expression of enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is not about releasing everything in a hurry, but expressing the enthusiasm in the heart by contrast.

Seeing Fu Tiao like this, Klaus already had some certainty in his heart, knowing what the situation was, he looked at Fu Tiao and couldn't help but smiled and said: "

"I feel that you seem to have a thorough grasp of enthusiasm, which is very good, so I am a little curious, what about your other works? How do you feel? Are there any problems that have not been resolved?"

"I have practiced both Brahms and Chopin. There are basically no problems with these two items. They feel very good. I feel that I can perfectly interpret my ideas." Fu Tiao replied without thinking, and then faced Krause added.

"And my Chopin also reached its peak very early, and it is difficult to continue to climb up. As for Brahms, although it is a little weaker than Beethoven and Chopin, it has not weakened too much, and it is almost a normal performance. The level is similar to the state of my previous Chopin International Piano Competition."

"Well, since you said that, I'm relieved."

Listening to Fu Tiao's words, Klaus smiled with satisfaction.

In this more than a month, less than two months, he and Fu Diao studied music and studied a lot.

It was originally a class once a week, but because Fu Diao controlled it too fast, it became a class twice a week, and the progress of each class was extremely rapid, by leaps and bounds.

Klaus saw his progress, so when Fu Tiao said this, Klaus didn't have the slightest doubt or hesitation, but rather recognized it.

"Since that's the case, I wish you a smooth journey and complete a concert that you are satisfied with. In addition, I will go to your concert, and I will bring other people to support your concert!"

Klaus stepped forward, patted Fu Tiao on the shoulder, and said with a smile.

"Then... come on! I'm really sorry to make you run alone."

Feeling the strength on his shoulders, Fu Tiao nodded slowly.

"It's okay, I just feel more at ease when we meet. Since there's nothing else to do, I'll go first and see you later at the music."

"Okay, see you later on the music."

Fu Tiao bid farewell to Klaus again, walked to the door in a hurry, picked up his luggage, and quickly opened the door to leave.

He came here simply to meet with Klaus, and the two chatted casually about music issues.

After all, Klaus went out to other places for business a few days ago and hadn't seen each other until today. The two just met to chat and check on Fu Tiao's status, that's all.

And the heat in this room made him not want to stay in it at all.

Normally, Fu Tiao would still chat with the professor, but now...

Standing at the door, Fu Diao felt the obviously fresher air, and could not help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

Compared with the sweltering weather in China, as long as the sun in Europe is in the shade, don't stay in the place where the air is difficult to circulate, even if it is hot, it still won't look too boring and depressed.

But when encountering that kind of space with poor air circulation, the scorching heat of the sun will be more vicious than that of Huaguo.

Heat rises from the earth and drifts into the world.

After Fu Tiao took a deep breath, he ran towards the subway.

The subway hidden underground, although it does not have any air-conditioning assistance, can rely on the natural cooling underground and the designed ventilation environment to allow people who are burned by the sun to breathe.

It's just that the outside of the subway is alright, but inside the subway, it's filled with all kinds of sweaty smell, body odor, and poor perfume, forming an indescribably disgusting feeling.

Fu Tiao frowned, endured the breath and entered the subway, took four stops, and left the subway in a hurry, panting hard.

After his breathing stabilized, he gently wiped off the foreign matter on his body, and returned to his home.

It's almost time, he needs to go to the Ruhr area.

Music scores, suits, and some odds and ends have already been put into the suitcase. After throwing his sweat-soaked clothes into the washing machine, Fu Tiao packed his luggage and went back to the subway station next door. To the main fire in Berlin.

The main fire in Berlin is still as busy as in the past, and dense crowds meet here, either get off the bus and transfer to other cities, or get off and swarm into the sexiest city in Europe.

Whether it is pure classical music, or electronic music, or pop music, people can find the sweetness of home here.

On the rails suspended in the air, subways and intercity trains roar and run on it.

The criss-crossing tracks, together with the overcrowded crowd, constitute this one in Berlin. Compared with other cities, it is the most modern train station building, Berlin Main Fire.

Although the glass all over the sky gathers the heat in the train station, the huge air vent keeps blowing out the cold air, keeping the hot air out, creating a cool place that is rarely seen in summer. .

Feeling the coolness in his body, Fu Tiao finally let out a long sigh of relief.

He didn't leave directly in the car, but walked to the coffee shop on the side.

A Stone Coffee, or Einstein Coffee, although the name is very big, but this coffee shop is just an ordinary coffee shop, nothing special.

In the corner of the Einstein Cafe, there was a man wearing a black jacket, hat and sunglasses, and another muscular man wearing a white vest.

The styles of the two were completely different, but they sat there uniformly, sipping the iced coffee in their cups, without saying a word.

Until... Fu Tiao came to them with his luggage.

"Fu Diao!"

The man in the black jacket looked at Fu Tiao who was coming, and couldn't help but nodded slightly. Before he could say anything, Fu Tiao couldn't help frowning and asked.

"Aren't you... not hot?"

"?" The man in the jacket was taken aback for a moment, but before he could speak, Fu Tiao continued.

"I walked around outside, just took the subway from my home to the main fire, and I was almost sweaty, you are wearing this jacket, are you really not hot? Zhao Chengzhen?"

"..."

Zhao Chengzhen was silent. He looked at Hamelin, who was slowly flexing his chest muscles, and said nothing.

And Hamelin also looked at the two people in front of him, with a warmer smile on his face.

"Richard~We're back~"

Accompanied by a coquettish voice, two slender and beautiful blond women came to Hamelin's side and sat down on the left and the right.

The one on the left is holding two cups of coffee.

The girl handed Fu Tiao a cup of coffee in her hand, and said with a smile.

"You must be Dior. I often hear Hamelin mentioning you. He said that he was only one step away from you and Zhao at that time. It's a pity that the last step is like a chasm. You missed the championship, Nuo, this is the iced coffee he bought for you, and Hamelin invited you."

"Thank you..."

Fu Diao nodded, and looked tentatively at Hamelin in front of him.

The two people in front of him seemed different from the one he had seen at the Chopin International Piano Competition.

It's only been a few months, and Hamelin actually changed another batch?
Zhao Chengzhen, who was sitting on the side, flinched slightly and spoke directly.

"Don't take me with you, I'm not just one step away from you."

"Why isn't it just one step away?" Hamelin said happily: "The gap between my grades and yours was not that big, especially you, Zhao, if you said that the gap between me and Dior is relatively big, I can still Admit it, after all, the average score is almost one or two points behind, but my grades and yours are really similar! Why is it not considered a step away?"

"That's not what it means..." Zhao Chengzhen looked at Hamelin and didn't know what to say.

But Hamelin didn't take it too seriously, looking at Fu Tiao who was holding the ice American style, he also said cheerfully.

"Dior, although I was a little bit worse than you at the time, about a few points worse than the average score, but let me tell you, I haven't been living for nothing in the past few months. I have also won several championships, yes Isn't that right? Tina, Lusa~"

As he spoke, Hamelin looked at the two girls on his lap and flirted with a smile.

Seeing Hamelin like this, Zhao Chengzhen's original intention to explain was gone.

He originally wanted to tell Hamelin not to think about comparing himself with Fu Diao, because Fu Diao is a monster.

When he was at home in Paris last time, he analyzed Fu Tiao with his teacher for a long time, intending to focus on Fu Tiao, and regain the place where Fu Tiao dominated the Chopin International Piano Competition.

As a result, he just went up to play it, and before he even entered the dinner, he was crushed by Fu Tiao head-on, and there was no residue left.

In this case, he felt that in about half a year, Fu Diao's level would only be stronger, not weaker.

Under such circumstances, he still wanted to play against Fu Tiao, so it can only be said that his brain is not very easy to use.

Therefore, Zhao Chengzhen could only helplessly shrug his shoulders at Fu Tiao.

"No way, Hamelin is like this. It's not the first time you've met Fu Tiao, just get used to it."

"fine."

"in addition……"

Zhao Chengzhen hesitated to speak, but finally scratched her head and sighed helplessly.

"The other things that those people have been saying on the Internet, saying that I want to fight you head-on, avenge me for being crushed by you at the Chopin International Piano Competition, don't take it to heart."

"Huh?" Fu Tiao was taken aback, "Is there such a sentence?"

"No, since you didn't pay attention, then there is no problem, just pretend that there is no such thing."

Zhao Chengzhen couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and smiled at Fu Tiao.

Hamelin was flirting with his partners over there, while Fu Diao was chatting with Zhao Chengzhen.

Until the three people's mobile phones suddenly issued a reminder.

[The ICE848 train you booked from Berlin to Essen via Düsseldorf will stop at platform 10 in 16 minutes. The stop time is about 8 minutes. Please be prepared in advance]

Seeing the news in their hands, the three of them nodded in unison.

"Let's go, go to..."

"Essen!"
