From Maas to Memel

From Etsch to Belt

All the music-related newspapers in Germany were reporting the news.

No, not just German newspapers, basically newspapers across the European Union reported the news about this time.

Compared with the previous top pianists who successfully reached the top and won the best award at this year's Ruhr Piano Festival, Fu Tiao's performance is actually the most shocking. It also made many people who originally planned to put it in a certain The music newspaper Notified in the Corner also put the news of the Ruhr Piano Festival at the top of the list this year.

Home column report.

In Germany, their propaganda intensity also exceeded many people's imagination.

It was not the German music newspapers, nor the newspapers in the Ruhr area, that were discussing Fu tunes.

Instead, newspapers all over Germany, large and small, are discussing the news about Fu Tiao.

Smaller newspapers put Fu Tiao's news at the top of the list to express their concern.

For larger newspapers, choose to place it in more important positions on the later pages.

After all, they pay more attention to their own local information.

Among the larger newspapers, some left-wing newspapers led by the Green Party, they praised the Ruhr Piano Festival for its acceptance of new things, proving that Germany is not the old-fashioned and outdated organization before. They became the pinnacle of the new German will.

Although the Ruhr area is a relatively conservative area in Germany, their thinking is not conservative, but they tend to accept new ideas and tend to change. The Ruhr Piano Festival’s choice of this year’s Best Newcomer of the Year surprised many The left was particularly excited.

They even directly called Fu Diao the dawn of the new century. Only he could save the outdated ideas in Germany and bring Germany completely towards change and modernity.

But there is a left wing, and there is also a right wing.

The right-wing AfD party expressed the opposite opinion.

They believe that the Ruhr Piano Festival has betrayed their pure blood. The Best Newcomer of the Ruhr Piano Festival should be awarded to the person who has the deepest relationship with the Ruhr Piano Festival and the person who best represents the Ruhr Piano Festival, not just one person. A newcomer who was invited to attend the Ruhr Piano Festival for the first time.

They betrayed the sacred authority granted to them by the people of the Ruhr region.

This is not the Ruhr Piano Festival at all, but a waste organization that worships foreigners and only knows how to adapt to new ideas but does not understand what glory is.

"Therefore, I would like to ask everyone in the Ruhr area to think deeply again. You are really willing to award such an award to an outsider you are completely unfamiliar with, rather than a player who has always contributed to the Ruhr area. ? Are you willing to betray your organization like this? Your fellow countrymen? Your people? And the ideas you abide by?"

Klaus took the newspaper away from Fu Diao and looked at the information on it in disbelief. He turned to Fu Diao and asked in German with a puzzled face.

"Can you understand German now?"

"I can understand a little bit. After all, German and English are very similar, and many words can be transformed into other words, so my early progress is relatively fast. After all, I may have to stay in Germany for a long time, not overnight, so You should also learn more about German.”

Fu Tiao was not angry when he saw the newspaper in his hand being taken away by Klaus. Instead, he said cheerfully.

"Although there are still a lot of difficult sentences that I haven't understood, I can get a general idea and read the newspaper without any problems. After all, reading the newspaper is not for me, no, to be precise, it is for every beginner. There is no problem with the language, after all, German is a purely phonetic language, and it is much easier to read than English.”

"That's true, but you..."

Klaus looked at the newspaper in his hand, and then at the pile of magazines and newspapers around Fu Tiao, with a strange look on his face, and asked in confusion.

"But where did you get so many newspapers? I am also a regular reader of newspapers, but the newspapers I know are not half as good as yours..."

"My agent sent it to me." Fu Tiao shrugged: "I asked him to help me send all the newspapers related to me in Germany, and then I saw this There is only a little bit here, and there is still a lot that I haven’t brought here yet.”

"There are many more?" Klaus was a little stunned after hearing this. He asked in disbelief: "What's wrong? It's reported in Germany that you won the best award at this year's Ruhr Piano Festival?"

"That's right, Mr. Claus, you don't know?" Fu Diao asked confused.

"I know, I know, it's just..." Klaus hesitated, clicked his tongue twice to reorganize his words, and then said inexplicably: "That's how I put it, although the Ruhr Piano Festival is here It is very famous all over the world, but under normal circumstances, it is only mentioned in newspapers. It is difficult to mention the Ruhr Piano Festival specifically because the winners are all old people and everyone is too familiar with it, so..."

Klaus couldn't help but stop when he said this, then he coughed hard twice, passed the topic, and asked Fu Diao.

"Okay, let's not talk about this topic anymore. Don't take the newspaper just now too seriously. After all, the competition between political parties in Germany is fierce. I just took a look at the place where your newspaper was published. It is actually normal to publish such a newspaper."

"Ok?"

Fu Diao didn't quite understand: "Why is it normal?"

“Mainly because of Merkel’s refugee policy, political parties led by the German AfD, also known as Alternative für Deutschland, and the Alternative for Germany began to attack the CDU headed by Merkel, also known as the Christian Democrats. They believed that the CDU destroyed Germany’s Development has allowed a large number of refugees to enter Germany, thereby destroying the purity of the German nation! The main ideological direction of the AfD is to oppose European integration, the EU, refugee policies and German foreigners."

Klaus picked up the newspaper in his hand and flipped to the front page. Looking at the information on it, he couldn't help but raised his eyebrows and felt annoyed.

"Sure enough, the AfD's main bases are in the east, including Thuringia, Saxony and Brandenburg. I guessed it was the newspapers from these places. Now I opened it and it turned out to be true. , don’t pay too much attention to the newspapers in these places, they don’t want to attack you, it’s just because you happen to be a foreigner and you won a very famous award in their country, that’s all.”

"So...if Arkadi takes it, won't they scold him?" Fu Diao was a little curious when he heard this and couldn't help but ask.

Klaus didn't care, he touched his chin and said.

"I can't say this, but it probably won't be the case. After all, you are an old person. Winning an award won't even appear in the newspaper. The AfD probably won't target you specifically because he won the award. The most important thing is You are too young now, and there is nothing to be around except the Chopin International Piano Competition and the Ruhr Piano Festival, so they are using you as an excuse to continue attacking the CDU..."

Speaking of this place, he raised his head and thought about it for a moment, then continued to add something.

"In fact, there are two factions within the AfD, the moderates and the radicals. The moderates are mainly opposed to refugees, while the radicals are opposed to all people entering Germany, including those staff who have obtained long-term visas. The AfD has a wide range of policies throughout Germany. The support rate is still very low, probably only a dozen percent, and they are investigated several times every year by the federal government in the name of anti-right wing, so there is no need to worry about them."

After that, Klaus walked over to Fu Diao without waiting for Fu Diao's objection, picked out the newspapers that were obviously from the AfD direction, tore them up, threw them into the trash, and shrugged slightly at Fu Diao.

"I personally suggest that you don't care too much about the AfD. For many people, they are the cancer of Germany. Although some of my friends also support the AfD, to be honest, I personally don't like the idea of ​​​​the AfD."

"Um……"

Fu Tiao looked at Klaus helping him clean up the trash, and could only shrug his shoulders without directly refusing.

He did not know much about the divisions of parties in Germany, and he had little interest in participating in the disputes between these parties.

Anyway, he is not a German, and he has no voting rights. What do these parties have to do with him?

Klaus flipped through the documents in his hand three or four times in succession, and after confirming that nothing was missing, he returned to his seat, breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled teasingly at Fu.

"Okay, now it's finally clean, and then again...you're going to Salzburg in a few days, aren't you?" "Well, yes."

Fu Diao walked from the sofa next to the piano, raised his eyebrows at Klaus, and asked with a smile.

"Mr. Claus, do you want to hear my latest performance results? Although I have been preparing for the Ruhr Piano Festival before June, I have not given up on the Salzburg Music Festival."

"To be honest, I actually quite want to hear it, but..."

Klaus also sat down at the piano and sighed at Fu Tiao with a helpless expression.

"But I mainly teach piano solos. Although I also know a little bit about chamber music, my chamber music level is really not as good as that of your teacher... Who am I calling you?"

"Hubble." Fu Diao added.

"Yes, yes, Hubble, yes, that's him. I just remember it's him."

Klaus patted the piano and sighed.

"Hubble's chamber music level is very strong, so I'd better not get involved in what you learn from him. Although my chamber music is not bad, I can teach some undergraduate chamber music content. But to be honest, when I get to the graduate level, I rarely teach chamber music to them, and when it comes to your music festival level courses, I basically never touch it.”

Klaus looked into Fu Tiao's eyes, and said very seriously: "There is a specialization in the arts, but people need to know themselves. I am not a genius in chamber music."

"Um……"

When Fu Tiao heard Klaus' refusal, he didn't continue to press, but just smiled.

"But that's okay. Although I've almost prepared the chamber music, but solo solo, it feels a bit ordinary. Since you don't want to listen, Mr. Claus, forget it. We'll discuss other things when we continue class. I’ll play you my new piece.”

"Okay, but I hope you can play more traditional German and Austrian music works such as Beethoven, Bach, Brahms, and Mozart, because I am personally better at such works, and then..."

Klaus took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Fu Diao, smiling.

"Then I'll give you this business card, please keep it."

"This business card is..."

Fu Tiao took the business card. It showed an unknown person. Looking at the title, he seemed to be a doctoral supervisor in a certain school?

And the school on this business card...

"Mozarte University, a top music conservatory in Salzburg, or a university that is more specialized in Mozart."

Klaus pointed to the person on the above business card and explained to Fu Tiao: "You are going to Salzburg later, it is a very nice small city, except that there are densely packed Mozart products everywhere, Everything else is fine, and the person I gave you is a player who specializes in Mozart in Salzburg. He has a deep study of Mozart, and he is in charge of research in that school. Take care of the students. I have made an appointment with him this time. He should be able to give you a chance to meet, so take advantage of it."

"A... chance to meet?"

Fu Tiao didn't expect that this business card was just an opportunity to meet, not a meeting, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Is it just a chance?"

"Of course, there is a phone number on it. When you arrive in Salzburg, you can contact him yourself. He should give you a time. You can meet him according to the time. But remember, you must be on time. He doesn't like it. He arrives early and doesn't like to be late. His schedule is very full every day, and he spends most of his time practicing and researching, so..."

Klaus shrugged: "You have to seize the opportunity. This is a good exchange."

"Well, I will."

Fu Tiao nodded, put the business card in his hand into the lining pocket of his clothes, and then asked Klaus: "By the way, are there any other issues that need attention?"

"There's nothing else. Just pay attention to your own safety. Also, if you can drive, it's best to drive. Don't take the train to Salzburg. To be honest, there are no vehicles from Munich to Salzburg. It’s so slow that they can drive a straight line distance of 120 kilometers for a full three hours!”

Klaus complained to Fu Diao, and Fu Diao couldn't help but rub his eyebrows and smiled helplessly when he heard Klaus's words.

It seems that the railway problem in Germany is not unique to Germany, but also to the German-speaking Austria.

He stood up and walked to the door of the piano room, picked up the clothes hanging on the wall, waved to Klaus and said.

"Okay, I'll remember that, see you later."

"Okay, see you later, have fun in Salzburg!"

Klaus sent Fu Diao to the door, then suddenly remembered something and said to Fu Diao.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot one thing. Recently, an old acquaintance of yours came to Berlin University of the Arts. He is currently going through the entry procedures. He may be able to join the job in a few days. If you are interested, you You can go talk to him. If I remember correctly, he may be at the headquarters now? If not at the headquarters, he is also at the nearby Jazz Campus. You can look for it yourself."

After that, Klaus sent Fu Diao out. Before Fu Diao could ask questions with a confused look on his face, he waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Okay, goodbye, Best Newcomer at the Ruhr Piano Festival! I'll take a rest first, there will be other people's lessons later."

click!
After the words fell, the door of the room was closed, and Fu Tiao looked at everything in front of him blankly, full of doubts.

"Acquaintance? Jazz campus? Who?"

He frowned and turned around and walked downstairs, not thinking for a moment who would join the job.

I only have a few jazz acquaintances. If I really want to talk about acquaintances who can join the job, then the most likely ones are...

"Dior!"

A familiar voice sounded from beside Fu Diao, and Fu Diao suddenly stopped as he was about to walk to the chamber music concert hall downstairs of the headquarters.

He originally planned to go to chamber music rehearsal. After all, in a few days he would be preparing to go to Salzburg for a final rehearsal with Mr. Hubble and his chamber music classmates.

But now that he heard the voice in his ears, he had no way to continue.

He turned his head and looked not far away in disbelief.

As Klaus said, an acquaintance of his was standing there, waiting for him.

The classical musician who had written to him before, praised his performance, and also gave him many of his own scores.

Many people called him a jazz composer, but he never admitted it and always said that he was a classical musician.

He stood at the entrance of the Berlin University of the Arts with a toad mirror with a very deep number. He looked at Fu Diao who was about to enter the chamber music hall. He took out his hands that were originally in his pockets and raised them to Fu Diao. He held his hand slightly, waited for Fu Tiao to turn his head, then waved it gently, and said with a smile.

"Dior, long time no see, how does it feel? How does it feel to successfully win the best award at this year's Ruhr Piano Festival?"

"..."

Fu Tiao looked at him, a little shocked for a moment.

He knew that he wrote him a letter, congratulated him on his performance, and said that he would give him a surprise, but he never thought that he would appear here.

Fu Diao took a breath and said in disbelief:

"Mr. Nikolai Kapustin?"

　Hidden a deep stalk, I don’t know if anyone can guess what it is
