pianist from the sea

Chapter 290
The sound of strings and piano blend perfectly together.

Just simply listening to everything you hear, you don't even know if the piano is giving way to them or if they are following the piano.

Because the two are truly integrated.

regardless of each other.

After this musical effect was displayed, everyone present was intoxicated.

It’s worthy of Fu Tiao, and it’s worthy of Fu Tiao’s chamber orchestra.

Only they can present such music, and only they can make the music perform so perfectly.

The cello in Mira's hand gently rubbed the strings.

The cello sounded with a deep bass that could make one's skin crawl.

It perfectly holds up everything in the music and gently follows the piano without appearing too dazzling or boring.

Just follow the piano so gently, accompany Fu Tiao with that deep voice, and keep him company.

Although Mira is so small, the cello is even bigger than her whole body. From a certain angle off the stage, some people can't even see Mira.

But such bass directly shocked everyone present, and no one could imagine that they could show such colors.

At this point, everyone no longer has any eye contact, because they have already connected with each other.

There is no need to speak at all, no eye contact, or even any thinking.

Just by listening to the timbre in their ears, they know what color their teammates want to express, and then give them help to make the music more perfect.

Just listening with your ears can achieve this effect.

It's far more interesting to play something live than to record it.

Because listening to the scene is not just to listen to the skill level of the performer itself, but to listen to an uncertainty.

What everyone likes to hear most is that the performers can perform at a super level live and show their abilities that cannot be shown on recordings.

Although many performers may be relatively introverted people, sitting on the piano all day long without saying a word, they just keep practicing.

but.

A large number of them are actually crazy.

Although they won't really show any weird moves on stage, they have requirements off stage.

The more people come, the more feedback the audience gives, the more excited they are.

It's just like talking in cross talk, just talking to the wall with your mouth, but the person talking about it actually doesn't feel anything, and it doesn't mean anything.

It's just like memorizing a manuscript, just memorize it, that's all.

But it’s different when there are people under the stage. With feedback, you can naturally speak better.

This is true for many pianists.

They prefer a stage with feedback. The more feedback they have, the smoother their playing will be, and the better they can show their skills.

This is the charm of the scene.

Of course, if the feedback is too little or negative, they will show a more fragile side, which is easy to overturn.

This type of performer has a high ceiling, and often performs works in a certain moment that he has never been able to perform in his life.

At the same time, there are also a group of performers who don't like live performances very much, but prefer recording.

Just like Gould, his recordings can be regarded as almost among the best, but his live performances are a bit hard to describe.

He has said that he hates the scene, and he feels that the feedback from those audiences is contaminating and tainting his work.

He prefers to be in the recording studio, because in the recording studio, he feels as if he has returned to his mother's womb, warm and quiet, without having to think about anything, just thinking about his music.

Leaving aside this type of performers for now, it is undeniable that the final destination of the performers should be live, facing the audience, rather than purely recording.

Recording has always been the player's lower limit, but it should not be the player's upper limit.

How one performs on-site is the strongest touchstone that ultimately determines a performer's ability.

Therefore, everyone is more recognized for the strength shown on the spot.

And now the four Fu Diao works were displayed in front of everyone, and the content they played touched the hearts of everyone present.

I had only heard Fu Diao's name, Taha's name, and Mira's name before.

There is no clear understanding of what their level of strength represents.

In the first movement, everyone paid more attention to the cooperation between the four people, and did not pay much attention to individual strength.

Therefore, everyone is not particularly clear about their level of strength.

But now, after Fu Tiao showed his ultimate beauty in the solo part, there is no longer any doubt.

This is Fu Diao, and this is Fu Diao's strength.

Champion of Chopin International Piano Competition.

Best Concerto in the Chopin International Piano Competition.

Ruhr Area Rookie of the Year.

And next to her is Taha, the winner of the Elizabeth International Violin Competition.

Mira, also the world champion.

"handsome!"

Ruth's eyes couldn't help but light up, he clenched his fists hard and said excitedly.

"The expressiveness of the tone, the coordination of the band, and the beauty of the music, the playing is really good!"

"Well, you're right. This one is really beautiful to play. It's really strange how you can achieve such a beautiful tone."

"Perfect performance, stunning expression."

"Interesting emotional flow and thematic construction."

"..."

When Si heard the rustling sounds around him, he couldn't help but glance around and suddenly found several familiar people.

Among them was one he was most familiar with, the music critic of Gramophone magazine.

He couldn't help but be startled when he looked at the man. He glanced at everything around him again and found that it was not just one person, but several acquaintances.

Ruth was not the only reporter or music critic present.

This performance by Fu Diao was not the unpopular show that many people imagined.

The reason why the Salzburg Music Festival arranged for Fu and the others to be scheduled for this afternoon is actually very good, and it is not meant to look down on them.

The names of Fu Diao, Taha and Mira are very familiar to the ears of many practitioners.

It's the kind of existence that you know who it is as soon as you pronounce it.

Therefore, many music critics and reporters were present.

They were all paying attention to Fu Diao's performance, thinking about the details and content of Fu Diao's performance, and planned to go back and write it later.

The group of people saw that his head was swollen and they couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

"What the hell? Fu Diao's reputation is actually so... big?"

His eyes swept over and then paused on someone.

With long fluffy gray hair and gray linen clothes, he looks like an ascetic.

and many more?

This is……

Marta Argerich?

Argerich is here too? ? ?
Ruth didn't know what kind of expression to put on his face.

Are you kidding me?
He suddenly remembered that when he wanted to shake hands with Argerich, Argerich gave him a stern look and kept saying that she wanted to practice the piano. She had not practiced the piano for a long time.

Even now, he can remember how embarrassed he looked at that time.

As a result, how long had passed before Argerich stopped practicing and came here to listen to Fu Tiao's concert?
This is too...

Ruth didn't know what to say.

He didn't know whether he should complain about Argerich not doing his job properly, or whether he should write a small piece of news.

"Shock!Argerich refused to practice piano, the truth behind it is..."

Although such a title would definitely not be approved by the editor, they are not a small magazine, but a serious music newspaper.

Therefore, Russ just thought about it in his mind and did not pay much attention to Argerich in the distance, but continued to listen to Fu Tiao's performance.

But he didn't expect that Argerich was in a very anxious state.

She kept picking at her hands and frowning.

She is extremely anxious now.Because she didn't practice the piano.

Yes, she felt that she hadn't practiced the piano yet, and she didn't have enough time to practice the piano, really not enough at all.

She has now gone from being normal to being anxious before a show.

One thing she regrets most now is that she didn't practice piano before.

She had been so happy listening to the Ruhr Piano Festival that she had completely forgotten that she was going to be on stage, so she didn't practice much at all.

It wasn't until I came to Salzburg that I thought about practicing piano.

The performance in Salzburg was still a solo. I don’t know why I was so stupid that I actually agreed to the solo, instead of choosing a concerto or two pianos as usual.

Compared with other concerts, solo concerts make people more anxious and lonely.

Lonely without anyone to accompany you.

Therefore, when Argerich listened to Fu Tiao's performance, he had extremely complicated emotions.

"Ah, Fu Diao plays well. He plays so beautifully. He and his teammates are so cool! Who is this violin called? He plays it really well. He plays it with my old friend. It’s almost done, do you want to cooperate with him again later?”

"I haven't practiced the piano yet, I haven't practiced the piano yet, I'm going to go on stage in a minute, I haven't practiced the piano yet..."

"Wow, the bass of the cello here is really good. I really like the interpretation here! Wait, the performance of Fu Diao here is really beautiful and amazing! My God, this place is so beautiful. The beauty of the music is simply overwhelming!”

"But I haven't practiced the piano yet. I don't have time. I shouldn't be here now. I shouldn't continue to listen to Fu Tiao's performance. I should go practice the piano now..."

"Beautiful! Bang, bang, bang bang bang! That's right, that's it. The tension in this place is just right. That's how it should be played! La la la... handsome! What a beautiful interpretation. If Fu tunes him, he can be older. A few dozen years old, or maybe I would be a few dozen years younger..."

"I haven't practiced the piano yet. I went out to listen to others playing the piano before I was ready for the music festival. I really deserve to die..."

"Yes, yes! This place plays like this! Beautiful!"

"I……"

Argerich, like Ruth behind him, had a particularly troubled expression.

She debated whether she should leave now.

She was reluctant to let her go. The effect of the chamber music played by Fu Tiao was really great.

She had never listened to Fu Diao's chamber music. She had always listened to Fu Diao's other works, so when she heard Fu Diao's chamber music for the first time, she was just surprised.

This kind of surprise was actually very rare for an elderly person like her. She had really never seen Fu Tiao's performance, and she had forgotten how long it had been since she had been surprised.

But at the same time, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

Because she hasn't practiced piano yet.

Damn it!
She was so confused that she exploded.

It's like a primary school student. It's the last day of finals and the summer homework has not been touched at all, but the Apex in front of him can be hunted with just a few handfuls. Overwatch's butt is really nice. The CP of King of Glory is already dripping on him. My teammates in LoL asked me to start a group. By the way, the Ma Ni activity has not been completed yet, the daily routine of Genshin Impact has not been cleared, and the universe simulation of Honkai Railroad has not been played.

Then I just played the game with a sense of guilt, went about my daily life, and then cursed myself in my heart.

I really deserve to die!I didn't even finish my homework before I went out to play games. I deserved it. I really deserved it!
While cursing himself, he continued to play the game with guilt.

There is not much difference between Argerich at this moment.

She was the same, going to Fu Tiao's concert full of guilt.

If it was someone else's concert, she might leave if she didn't feel it sounded good, but now she was in front of Fu Tiao

It's not because she likes Fu Diao, but because Fu Diao's performance is really good and the level is really high.

As long as you are a classical music lover, you should not miss Fu Tiao's performance.

Fu Diao is heaven, Fu Diao is earth, Fu Diao is everything!
If Fu Diao was the only one, Argerich could grit his teeth and leave.

But Fu Diao was not the only one in front of him, but there were several people of the same level as Fu Diao.

Mira, Taha, and a viola player whose name I don’t know but who plays pretty well.

Plays very well.

But I have to practice piano.

Why did I have to come here to listen to Fu Tiao's performance? But now I can't even walk while listening.

Seeing Argerich so entangled, the daughter sitting next to Argerich opened her mouth, but did not speak. Instead, she looked at Argerich's agent, who was sitting on the other side.

Although there is no love or anything between the two, this agent has worked for Argerich for more than ten years. When nothing happens, he will go to Argerich's house to help her iron clothes, clean and cook, etc. He is not a family member. Better than family.

Every time before Argerich takes the field, he will give her encouragement.

Argerich's agent obviously noticed Argerich's nervousness and couldn't help but sigh.

Sure enough, it came again.

Argerich's classic emotional instability.

That being the case...

The agent put his hand on the back of Argerich's hand, stretched out his hand to hold it, and said softly.

"Marta..."

"Huh?" Argerich looked at the agent beside him with a hint of anxiety, raised his eyebrows in confusion, and lowered his voice: "What's wrong?"

"If you are nervous, then why don't you just stop going?"

the agent asked with a smile.

"Not going?" Argerich was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the manager's gaze was wrong. He turned to Fu Diao and others who were resting on the stage and had entered the third movement of the Rondo. They couldn't help but raise their heads and think for a moment.

"Yes, if you are nervous, then forget it and stop having sex. Although I feel that there must be no problem with you, I don't want you to be under so much pressure. You are already under a lot of pressure. What's more, It might be better to be more leisurely.”

"I know there will be nothing wrong with me."

Argerich nodded.

After all she is Argerich, one of the living music legends now.

but……

Do you really want to do it yourself?
With so much pressure.

Have you really practiced well?

she does not know.

If other people were to evaluate her, they would probably say that her training was very good, or even top-notch, but...

She didn't feel like it.

She always felt that there were still some details that had not been done, but if she was asked to tell them, she didn't know those details, she just felt that she was not ready yet.

It’s like this every time. This question often comes up before every time I go on stage to perform a solo...

There must be nothing wrong every time I go on stage, but it’s just my mentality...

Argerich closed his eyes and continued to listen to Fu Tiao's performance.

I don't know whether it was because of the soothing sound of Fu Diao's playing, or because she had found a way out, but her expression became less nervous.

Otherwise, what if you say you are sick?Talk to the organizing committee and ask Fu Tiao to take over?

This... doesn't seem to be impossible?
After all, Fu Tiao's ability is not bad. Even if he is not a legend in piano history, he is still a top-notch pianist.

This is not just a first-tier pianist, but a top-tier one. He is a top-tier pianist who has successfully performed at a god-level performance.

Then, he can indeed support this scene.

Where will you be playing?

It seems like an outdoor venue?
No more, I'm nervous again...

Argerich took a deep breath, exhaled the breath, looked at the agent beside him, and smiled.

"Okay, I will, but I still need to see."

"Of course, I'm just giving you an opinion. If you really can't play, I think this may be the most appropriate solution."

"Yes, you are right, this is indeed the most appropriate plan..."

Argerich looked at Fu Tiao who was playing, thought for a long time, and nodded silently.

Let’s take another look and see what happens next.

If it really doesn't work, then...

Let Fu adjust it!
She set a deadline for herself in her mind. If she could perform successfully before this deadline, she would do it by herself.

If it really doesn't work, and there is no way to overcome the obstacles in your mind...

Let Fu adjust it.

　Argerich had a phobia of performance at least in 2012. He was not making it up.
