pianist from the sea

Chapter 272 Braaaaaaaavo! ! ! ! !

Chopin's fourth piano ballad, among all Chopin's piano ballads, is second only to the first piano ballade in artistic achievement, and the difficulty is the most difficult among all ballads.

The most difficult point is not the piano skills, which are nothing to the top pianists. The most difficult point is actually the touch of the piano.

The light touch of Fu Tiao's fingers on the piano keyboard does not seem to give any strength, but it makes the piano play a particularly terrifying beauty.

This set of works is the most difficult. This ballade is more colorful and elegant than the other three. The elegance of this piece is completely different from the previous ones.

Before, it may have felt more like love songs and grand epics created by men, but when the fourth ballad appeared, the masculine feeling in his music was weakened, and the feminism in his bones was weakened. It is slowly emerging.

The beauty seems to be written by women.

And this aesthetic feeling makes it similar to Chopin's late works, such as "The Boat Song" and "Fantasy Polonez".

Here, the main theme of the narrative is lyrical with melancholy and fantasy temperament, and the basic emotional color is strengthened through the development of variations.

The whole story is full of groans, and all the emotions are in the service of this groan, so that everyone in the concert hall even had a slight illusion of being a girl.

Even though his body was a little stiff, and his muscles were causing the clothes to collapse, it seemed that it was not easy to control such a tone.

The opposition between vision and hearing makes Fu Tiao's music performance more interesting.

Although it sounds like Chopin has become a woman, but the thoughts in Fu Tiao's mind now are absolutely not feminine at all.

He stared fixedly at the piano in front of him, his brain working crazily.

He even felt like he was walking a tightrope at this moment. There were really too many things in music, and it was too difficult.

The touch keys in this place need to be extremely soft, extremely soft, as weak and boneless as a woman, but also need a spirit to support the whole of the music, so that all the emotions in the music will not appear extraordinarily loose.

One more point is too strong and loses a lot of meaning.

And if it is less than one point, the whole will be completely loose, and the music will lose its soul.

Control your own hands, control your emotions, control Chopin in the music.

Control everything so that it doesn't get out of control.

With his control over this venue, everything in the music becomes incomparably gorgeous.

This is what Fu Diao is doing right now.

If you just need to pay attention to the music control, it's actually not too difficult, it's not particularly difficult.

But the problem is, music isn't just about tone control.

Everyone was intoxicated listening to Fu Tiao's performance, and they didn't find a particularly critical point at all.

That is……

The extremely messy music structure and complex emotions have become extremely docile under Fu Tiao's hands.

Just like a ball of wool played with by a cat, you can't tell which side is the head and which side is the tail. The messy lines are jumbled together, which makes people even have a slight headache.

But now, under Fu Tiao's hands, you can't hear any complexity at all, and all the emotional evolution of the music seems extraordinarily logical.

It's as if music should be interpreted in this way.

The messy ball of yarn turned into a knitted scarf, orderly and smooth.

Such complex work has not been noticed by any ordinary audience, everything is hidden under his control over the music.

Only some very powerful top pianists did not pay attention to appreciating Fu Tiao's performance, but analyzed Fu Tiao's performance, and they noticed this.

It was still Zhao Chengzhen.

He looked at Fu Tiao in front of him in disbelief, and even a trace of chaos appeared in his brain.

He listened to the whole Fu Tiao concert and also analyzed the whole Fu Tiao concert. He has never felt such a shock at a certain time.

He has played this piece himself before.

No, to be precise, there are very few people who take Chopin as their main direction of performance and have not played Chopin's Ballade No. [-].

Even Hamelin on the side played the same.

But why, at the scene of the Chopin International Piano Competition, few people choose the third and fourth?
Proportionally speaking, the person who chooses first will always be the most.

The reason is that the difficulty of the first ballad is not high, but the artistry is high.

In other words, this work has a low lower limit and a higher upper limit.

It's like Tetris, everyone can play it, but professional players can play it well, even reaching the level that ordinary people can't match.

This is the case with Chopin's First Piano Ballade.

And Chopin's Fourth Piano Ballade is completely different. He belongs to the type with a high upper limit, but the lower limit is either high or zero.

This is like what, Diablo expert mode.

If you can not die, no matter how awesome you play, the lower limit is scary, so is the upper limit, but the problem is... easy to die.

High risk and high return, but the level of return is not as good as the first ballad, so many people don't like to play the fourth ballad, but prefer the first ballad.

This also makes the first ballad look extraordinarily cheap, and the ears are almost hearing cocoons after listening to it too many times.

For Hamelin and Zhao Chengzhen, they are really familiar with Chopin's Fourth Ballade, so they are also very aware of the difficulties.

If you don't play it, you don't know it. If you play it, you will know how terrifying Fu Tiao is.

Zhao Chengzhen felt that his whole body was numb, he looked at everything in front of him in disbelief, and couldn't believe it.

He frowned, analyzing everything he heard.

"No, no, this place, how did he do it here? Why does this place feel so strange, no, it's not strange, it's smooth, this place is so smooth..."

"Wait, why does Fu Diao interpret it like this in this place, isn't this place f? Why do I feel that his power in this place seems to be mf, no, no, oh yes, I understand, it's in the back, it's in Here..."

"This, this, and this, the touch feeling of this place, the performance of this legato phrase, how did he do it?"

"Oh, yes, yes, right, it's here... No, no, no, no, oh! Yes, yes, yes, no! No, no, no!"

Zhao Chengzhen felt that his whole mind was about to go crazy. He was just listening to Fu Tiao's performance and analyzing the details of Fu Tiao's performance on the spot, as well as the preliminary preparations for the later presentation. As a result, his mind was about to go crazy.

He knows that the piano is difficult, especially for those of them who play deeply, the piano is more difficult.

But he never imagined that the piano could be so difficult.

It was so difficult that he even felt that his head was spinning too much, and he almost vomited out the dinner overnight.

Obviously Fu Diao played so smoothly, but why did he still feel that there were a lot of messy lines in front of him, so that he couldn't see anything clearly just after a simple analysis?
He rubbed the center of his brows, resisting the nausea caused by his brain dizziness, and continued to analyze Fu Tiao's performance.

It's just that the more he analyzed, the more terrifying and incomprehensible he felt.

He had no idea how Fu Tiao did it.

Therefore, he felt uncomfortable listening to it, as if he was listening to a bible.

He glanced at Hamelin who was beside him with an excited face, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but poked Hamelin helplessly, and asked in a low voice.

"Hamelin, don't you feel anything?"

"Feel? What does it feel?"

Hamelin turned his head and glanced at Zhao Chengzhen, with a puzzled look on his face, he asked, "How do you feel?"

"It's just...you didn't analyze it?" Zhao Chengzhen glanced at Hamelin's appearance, couldn't help but sighed, shifted his gaze to other places, and waved.

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

"Um, analysis?"

Hamelin was taken aback for a moment, but soon he understood what Zhao Chengzhen was talking about just now, and couldn't help but smiled and waved his hands and said, "Hey, what are you talking about, analyzing Fu Tiao's performance..."

"You didn't analyze it?"

Zhao Chengzhen raised her eyelids and asked, but Hamelin chuckled twice.

"I analyzed it, and then I couldn't understand it. If I couldn't analyze it, it was the same as listening to the works of those top masters, so I decided to give up. I will analyze it slowly when Dior's record comes out. .”

As he spoke, he looked at everything in front of him, his eyes filled with fanaticism.

"Dior's playing is really too strong, so powerful that I can't understand it. It's not that it's hard to understand his performance, but it's hard to understand why he can reach such a strong state level in such a short time. This How long has it been, how long has this been?"

He looked at Zhao Chengzhen beside him, and asked, "Zhao, is it a year?"

"No, it's still a few months away..."

Zhao Chengzhen shook his head, but Hamelin's emotions were even more enthusiastic, holding back the excitement in his heart and whispering.

"That's right, there is not even a year. Whose growth is not calculated according to the year, that is, everyone's progress is a little faster before adulthood, but those progresses are only to reach a similar excellent state, not to let you reach The world's top!
"It's like climbing technology. It's always the most difficult to go ahead and do research and development, but it's much easier to walk behind and reach a fairly developed state based on existing technology. , we were able to reach the current level through extremely strict training when we were young, which is already very remarkable, but you can also feel your progress, right?"

He glanced at Zhao Chengzhen, smiled and said: "The speed of progress is slow, it is difficult to make progress, this is normal, after all, it has reached the limit."

"But I never thought that Dior could improve so fast. In less than a year, he changed from an ordinary world champion to a pianist who is almost a second-tier pianist. He has become a top-tier pianist now, and after this performance is over, I feel that he can even become a top-tier pianist!
"This speed is terrifying. In my memory, there should be no one who can compete with Dior in his current state. It should be... no?"

He raised his head and thought for a long time, but finally shook his head slightly, because he really didn't find anyone who could fight against Fu Tiao.

If you look for it again, it will probably be a figure in history, such as the king of piano, Horowitz.

He is already dead, so now he can be made a god, since dead people can't speak anyway.

This is why many people now know that Horowitz is strong. When they praise their own strength, they dare not say that their strength has surpassed Horowitz and become No.1 in world history.

People of his contemporaries were basically beaten by him, and no one dared to say that.

There is only one Lang Liangyue who is not in the same era as him.

But Lang Liangyue never said that he could surpass Horowitz. What he often said was that he was the reincarnation of Horowitz, which is why he played the piano so well.

As for Hamelin and Zhao Chengzhen.

They have even less confidence to say that they can surpass Horowitz.

Even Lang Liangyue can't beat him, how can I have the confidence to say that my level and strength can surpass Horowitz.

But now, they saw a person, and that was Fu Tiao.

Fu Diao's level of strength and speed of improvement, it is obvious that he will be able to catch up with Lang Liangyue's global influence in a short time.

Although it is said that Fu Diao broke Lang Liangyue's blockade of the Passion Sonata head-on, music is not just a Passion Sonata, and Lang Liangyue is also not just a Passion Sonata. Fu Diao definitely has a way to go beyond Lang Liangyue. A long way to go.

However, Zhao Chengzhen, Hamelin and the others never doubted that there was no way for Fu Tiao to surpass the group of people in front.

They believe that Fu Tiao must surpass everyone.

Because they have witnessed the strength of Fu Tiao and the growth of Fu Tiao, they have truly seen Fu Tiao's progress from an ordinary player to a world champion, and now to a top-notch pianist who can perform at a god-level scene .

If it took Fu Tiao more than ten years to achieve these achievements, they would not be so excited, but the problem is that it took less than a year for Fu Tiao to achieve these achievements.

Even including the qualifiers in April last year, it took Fu Tiao just over a year.

What is enough time for more than a year?How many sets of works are you preparing for a concert?
And Fu Tiao not only prepared a set or even several sets of concert works and repertoires in such a short period of time, he even improved himself and performed a god-level live performance.

If they hadn't actually heard Fu Tiao's performance live, and even knew Fu Tiao, and knew what Fu Tiao was like a year ago, they might really think they were listening to a fairy tale now.

Where is someone so strong?
Could it be that he also practices LingLing for a full 40 hours a day?
Shock, astonishment, and bewilderment lingered in their hearts, engraved in their hearts like ghosts, and could not leave for a long time.

For those ordinary audiences, they are just classical music lovers. Although they have a general understanding of the difficulty of playing piano works, they are only approximate, and they have no idea how difficult this work is.

Even so, the emotions in their hearts were still full of shock and shock.

It's really nice to hear.

It is obviously the same work, and they have heard it played by many people before, but for some reason, they just feel that the effect of Fu Tiao's performance is particularly strong and feels particularly good.

It's like wearing armor piercing, directly hitting the depths of their hearts.

However, completely unnoticed by them, the music has come to an end.

Fu Tiao's full attention was tense, and he couldn't relax at the end of the music, which was also the end of the concert.

Because this place is the climax of the whole song, even the climax of the whole concert.

His arms were tense, but his wrists seemed extraordinarily loose.

Under such circumstances, he stood on a high place with his arm leading his wrist, and under everyone's gaze, he paused slightly, pulled everyone's emotions up, and then slammed down.

boom!
Everything exploded in an instant.

The sadness of Chopin's first piano ballad, as well as the magnificent epic.

The serenity of Chopin's Piano Ballade No. [-], and the vengeful rage.

The sweetness of Chopin's third piano ballad, and the beauty of love.

And Chopin's Fourth Piano Ballade summarizes everything, understands everything, and finally transforms into emotions like a woman, which explodes instantly in front of everyone.

Everyone's emotions exploded under his control.

Accompanied by the hands that seemed to be shaken by emotions at the end, the concert hall was peaceful.

No one spoke, everyone just stared at Fu Tiao without saying a word.

In the concert hall, there was only Fu Tiao's slight panting, and no one wanted to break this tranquility.

Beautiful, so beautiful, so beautiful that people can't bear to break this beauty.

However, the excitement in their hearts was urging them to stand up and applaud Fu Diao, thanking him for bringing them this musical feast tonight.

All the people present really felt that listening was enjoyable and extremely satisfying, and even wanted to sleep directly in the concert hall, unwilling to leave this Gensokyo.

Looking at Fu Tiao in front of him, Lang Liangyue thought of something, couldn't help sighing, and got up from his seat.

He stood up abruptly, causing everyone's eyes to focus on him. The people behind him didn't know who he was, but the people sitting across from him all recognized him.

Lang Liangyue.

Under the eyes of everyone, Lang Liangyue clapped his hands lightly, and the applause shattered all the tranquility in the concert hall.

He said softly with emotion.

"Bravo."

"Bravo..."

Applause rang out, praise lingered, followed by everyone waking up like a dream.

One, two, three...

One row, two rows, three rows...

One piece, two pieces, three pieces...

Everyone in the audience stood up, applauded vigorously, and gave Fu Tiao and the others their warmest congratulations and congratulations.

At the same time, there is that continuous, like sound waves.

"Bravo!"
