pianist from the sea

Chapter 288 This is Fu Tiao and his orchestra

It is different from that kind of large concert hall. This kind of chamber music concert hall has its own special reasons, and Salzburg itself is a very small city. Fu Diao opened the curtain in front of him and looked at this When he entered the concert hall, everything displayed in front of him was not so dazzling, but rather ordinary.

The whole thing is flat and made up of ordinary seats, that is, the stage is slightly higher. Other than that, there is no other difference.

Fu Diao looked at everything in front of him. He didn't know why he suddenly missed the Chopin International Piano Competition.

To be precise, it should be the preliminaries of the Chopin International Piano Competition, that is, when the performance was performed upstairs in the Chopin Concert Hall.

That place was very similar to what Fu Tiao saw at this moment. At a glance, he saw a small concert hall with less than 500 people. The overall decoration was very simple, with very normal old European Baroque design style wall decorations. And new, interconnected seats.

There are almost 30 people in one row, and then there are more than ten rows and less than twenty rows, which should be less than 500 people.

There are not many seats, but they are all occupied.

This is also the most suitable size for chamber music performances.

For example, in the very large venues where Fu Tiao played before, although his piano solos also fall into the category of chamber music, concert halls will have specially designed acoustic resonance chambers for piano solos, so the sound will not appear too small.

But this type of chamber music is different. If it is played in too big a place, it will make it difficult for the audience to hear some details of their performance.

Therefore, chamber music has always been loved by music lovers because of its small size and beauty.

It will not be as grand as a symphony, nor as thin as a single instrument. At the same time, you can also hear the cooperation and integration between instruments.

When listening to chamber music, you feel as if you are right next to the performers and talking to them.

Various factors add up to each other, making it even more difficult for such chamber music to expand its audience.

After all... you don't want to have a lot of big men surrounding you when you are communicating with the performer, right?
Fu Diao glanced at everything outside the house, then turned to look at Camilo, who was still playing tricks in that place. He was leaning on the wall and drinking coffee. Taha looked up at the ceiling and didn't know what he was thinking. Mira, who was made to cry, asked softly.

"are you ready?"

"Aye, Aye, Captain!" Camilo suddenly stood upright, raised his left hand and said in an almost inaudible voice.

"What did you say? I didn't hear you." Fu Diao was stunned for a moment, almost thinking he was calling Heil, the hair-washer.

But he didn't expect that after he finished speaking, Camilo's voice suddenly became louder and he shouted: "Yes! Captain!"

Before Fu Diao understood, Taha beside him laughed, poked Camilo with the bow in his hand, and chuckled: "Oh... who lives in the big pineapple in the deep sea?"

"SpongeBob SquarePants!"

Mira on the side also understood what Camilo was saying, so she followed up and then extended her hand to Fu Diao.

"Captain, let's sail the ship, we are waiting for you!"

"……Row!"

Although Fu Diao was not sure what the three people were singing, but seeing that the mentality of several people in his team seemed to have become calmer, he no longer hesitated and stretched out his hand to open the curtain.

Whoa!
As the three of them hummed quietly, applause burst from the stage.

Unlike the lights in large venues, there are no lights here, only natural light that naturally shines in from the windows.

Outside the window is Mirabell Park, an open park behind Mozarteum University. The lush garden faces the Mirabell Palace not far away. Countless flowers are dotted among the trees. Even in the chamber music concert hall, everyone is All this can be seen as well.

It's very beautiful, very beautiful, especially after the four people of Fu Diao walked onto the stage and sat down, everything became more gorgeous, and even made people breathless.

Taha and Mila have good foundation. Even if they only wear simple makeup, which is so light that it is almost impossible to tell that they are wearing makeup, it is just a few strokes, but it still makes people feel stunning.

Especially with the blessing of flowers behind them, the two of them looked particularly charming in their long skirts.

Taha's charm and Mila's cuteness and innocence made many young men present swallow their saliva.

Behind them, Fu Tiao and Camilo excited many women present.

Fu Tiao and Camilo naturally did not wear makeup. Camilo simply used hairspray to do his hair. Paired with the faint smile on his face, the whole person looked like a prince and was as attractive as a prince. Of course , probably Playboy.

As for Fu Diao, he had a calm expression on his face. Although he was sitting at the back of everyone, he could not make many people look away just by sitting there.

"When...when did the standard of chamber music in classical music become so high? Is this an idol group?"

The people sitting in the back looked at the four people in the sun in the distance and couldn't help but murmured a few words.

His words naturally made the people around him nod.

Looking at the four people who had already sat down, the man couldn't help but agree.

"Indeed, if we just look at appearance, I think they have already won."

But after he said it, he didn't expect to anger other people around him, and some people complained about it.

"Hey, please, isn't the Salzburg Music Festival a music festival? This is classical music, and they play chamber music. This must be based on their musical level. Why are you discussing their appearance? This Is it a matter of appearance?”

"Huh? Are you kidding? Their professional level is not good? Do you know who they are? There are three world champions in a chamber music orchestra, and there is also the core of the world's top orchestra. Are you kidding me?"

"Um... do you think if I didn't know who they were, I would buy a ticket to come and see them? I just asked you not to pay too much attention to their appearance. After all, appearance is fake, and their professional level is the real thing. I just asked you not to pay too much attention to their appearance. It’s different, I think they just come to enjoy the music, um, yes, that’s right, just to enjoy the music!”

"That's true...but Dior is so handsome. Damn, he's really amazing. I really like this handsome guy who is as cold as spring water."

"Although I admit that you, Dio, are very handsome, and the one next to you, the viola one, also looks like a playboy, but I must say, Taha's figure is really amazing! I like Taha so much!"

"I'm different, I like Mira~"

"Huh? Are you a pervert? Mira looks so young, as if she is not an adult. You actually like underage? You can't be...how do you say that, right! You can't be a lolita control Bar?"

"Everyone loves beauty. What's wrong with liking a little girl? I just like her. I don't want to do anything. Why are you so excited? Are you hiding something?"

"..."

Just after the Fu Diao quartet came out, the discussion below started along with applause.

Taha and Mira seemed to have been used to it for a long time. They looked at Fu Diao quietly and asked Fu Diao to give a standard note of A, and then tuned it.

But Camilo was different. Although he also tuned along, he also gave an aunt off the stage who was almost his mother's age a wink while he was tuning.

This made the aunt's clapping hands become even more enthusiastic.

But soon, after everyone finished tuning, the discussion and applause calmed down.

The three members of the orchestra looked at Fu Diao, waiting for his instructions.

Fu Tiao only paused for a moment, then turned slightly sideways and spoke to the people under the stage.

"Mozart, Piano Quartet, No. 478, G major, K[-]."

Whoa!
Brief applause broke out again.

Within a second after the applause dissipated, the three string players in front of them looked at each other and then started to take action at the same time.

Buzz, buzz, buzz buzz...

The string trio moved the stage aside, and the sound of the piano sounded, smooth and natural.

There is no arrogance or arrogance like any solo performer, only piety and love for music.

The moment the piano, violin, viola, and cello sounded, everyone knew something.

That was the four people who appeared in front of them at this moment. They were not four people who were unprepared, nor were they soloists in the traditional sense who didn't like to collaborate.

They have been preparing for this concert for a long time, and they have carefully put away their characteristics as soloists, allowing their music to match the performance of everyone in the orchestra.

At the moment when the music started playing, everyone's faces couldn't help but smile.

Sure enough, this is Fu Diao, and these are Taha, Mira, and Camilo.

While it is powerful, it is not too egotistical, and while it is integrated, it is also not too anxious.

This kind of music is very beautiful.

Fu Diao's eyebrows were slightly raised, and his fingers shuttled across the keyboard, accurately picking up the emotional context of the entire song in the pauses of the crowd.

He is not just part of a quartet, this is a piano quartet, and naturally, the piano also needs to be the main body of the orchestra, supporting everything.

Why can the piano be called the king of musical instruments?Is it because of his strong dominance, charm, and control?

Is it because he is the most well-known, and many musical instrument players cannot be named at all, while there are almost too many piano players who are famous?
Obviously, not.

The piano can be called the king of musical instruments for only one reason.

That is, it embraces all things.

He is the king, he can accommodate all musical instruments and coordinate well with all things.

He can let the music proceed naturally, and can make the music not lose its own characteristics when playing, but also show a more charming point.

Just like a real king, sitting on the supreme golden throne, he will not try to obliterate any characteristics, nor will he try to control everyone.

He just sits there, impartial and in control.

And this is what the three people on the stage feel.

While they were playing, they felt the dominance displayed by Fu Diao, and the expressions on their faces were slightly unbearable.

Sure enough, that feeling came again.

The feeling of being wrapped up.It's obviously very free, there won't be any interference, everything you play can be played according to your ideas.

But I just don’t know why, it always feels weird and a bit awkward.

But if you are asked to say something is not good and you cannot say it, in the final analysis it is just a psychological effect.

but……

This feeling isn't entirely a bad thing.

Because they feel at ease.

They even felt that Fu Tiao was talking to them.

He takes care of everything, don't worry.

He will help them perfect everything.

and so……

Just go and play with confidence.

The fusion of the two feelings made them feel extremely complicated, but at the same time, they did feel at ease.

Everything was exactly as it appeared during rehearsals.

He has everything, no need to worry.

Taha closed her eyes slightly, immersing herself in the music, and the melody flowed from her hands.

She even felt that she had become one with the melody, forgetting everything around her and forgetting that she was now at the Salzburg Music Festival, in the chamber music hall of the Mozarteum University in Salzburg, playing Mozart's work.

The music is gentle and seems to be driving the band forward, making the overall performance of the music more brilliant.

But in reality, it's not.

Without her noticing at all, the piano in Fu Diao's hand pushed the band forward.

Taha is indeed the target they decided on from the beginning to drive the band forward as a whole.

However, it is just a target that drives the band forward.

She was at the front, and Fu Diao was the engine behind her, constantly pushing her forward.

Yeah!That's how it feels!

There was even a trace of flushing on Taha's face.

Sure enough, this is the feeling, the same feeling as during the previous rehearsal.

You don't have to move, there is someone behind you to help you move forward.

The feeling of having everything under control.

Buzz, buzz, buzz buzz...

The main melody sounded again, and the string trio's hands opened again.

Synchronization rate, 1000%!

It was as if everyone shared the same sense.

The instruments are obviously different, but all their movements, whether they are big movements or small movements, are all integrated at this moment.

People listening to the music don't feel anything. After all, the music has been perfect from the beginning. You can't find any shortcomings. It is still so perfect.

But those people who still had their eyes open felt shocked.

They even felt that there were not three people sitting in front of them, but one person.

The three people in the string section completely became one person.

And Fu tunes the piano to communicate with the people in the orchestra.

"Wow……"

Some people looked at everything in front of them and couldn't help but admire in a low voice.

However, this is not the end, and what Fu Tiao showed is not the final result that he and everyone in the orchestra will show.

The final effect he wants to show is that everyone becomes one.

Buzz, buzz, buzz buzz...

The main theme appears again.

Fu Tiao once again acted as the soloist to bring out the beauty of the piano, pushing forward the emotions of everyone in the band.

He sat behind the three people, and his eyes were not just focused on the piano in front of him, but on the three people in the orchestra.

Just as their instructor Mr. Hubble said at the beginning.

Chamber music is not the art of one person, but the art of the group.

Sometimes it's not just one person's show of authority that can make music better.

And his teammates are not ordinary people. They are all elites from all walks of life. No matter which one of them shows their level of strength, they are among the top young instrumental players in the world.

Compared with him, what they lack is just opportunities.

That's it.

So, now is your chance.

Although the name of this performance is Dior Fu and Friends, this concert is not his home venue.

But it was him and his friends, the four of them.

So, feel free to express yourself.

Let Salzburg, let the Salzburg Music Festival, and let the audiences who come to the Salzburg Music Festival let the world know you again.

Although the level of professionalism this time may not be as difficult as the previous competitions you have participated in, but...

This is a more open performance!
It is a performance that many audiences who do not pay attention to chamber music, and many ordinary passers-by will pay attention to.

So, seize this opportunity, seize every opportunity, and don't leave any regrets in your career.

Don’t let yourself win countless awards around the world and have no one care about you.

Mira, who was sitting in front of Fu Diao, seemed to feel something. She turned her head slightly and looked at Fu Diao not far behind her.

Under her gaze, she suddenly found Fu Tiao looking at her with a smile.

There are no unnecessary emotions, just expectations.

I look forward to her adding color to this orchestra as the cello world champion.

He has everything, no need to worry.

No matter how high you push the music level, he can pull everything back and help you complete your performance.

Because he is Fu Diao.

He is the piano player in this small chamber orchestra.

and so……

Go bloom!

hum!
At the moment when everyone in the orchestra was almost integrated, Mira suddenly stood up and raised the music they played to a higher level.

The veins on the back of her hands were exposed, the cello strings were trembling, and the buzzing bass enriched the orchestra's melody.

This is not a shortcoming of the orchestra, not a fault in their playing.

This is just the indulgence given to them by Fu Tiao.

Hope they can make everything more perfect.

Because he is behind, he will pull everything back.

Looking at all this, Camilo couldn't help but shook his head and took a breath.

"Hey, it's here again. It seems that this chamber music performance is not so easy."

As he sighed, the music in his hands reached a higher level.

Together with Fu Diao, Mira was supported to express herself freely.

"Chamber orchestra is never a stage for one person!"
