pianist from the sea

Chapter 293 Superstar
In the early morning of the third day after Fu Tiao's performance ended, to be more precise, it should be around [-] a.m. Berlin time, which is around [-] noon Chinese time, Musician Magazine had completely spread the word in Europe. The goods are on sale.

Although newspapers and magazines in Germany are mostly sold in ordinary supermarkets and convenience stores.

But if you just go and take a look around, you will find a very interesting cover.

Musician magazine front page headline.

"How an Artist is Made"

This is a very conspicuous location.

Camilo, Mila and Taha sat there holding their respective pianos, smiling and looking at the camera.

Behind the three of them, Fu Tiao was like a protective umbrella, putting his arms around the shoulders of the three of them, completely covering them.

Just like his performance in music.

Klaus was yawning at this moment. He came to the bakery in front of the supermarket. After buying a croissant and a cup of black coffee, he was about to leave and go to his piano room to sleep for a while.

But before he left the bakery, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the photo of Fu Tiao hanging on the Kiosk counter in front of the supermarket.

He couldn't help but pause as he was about to leave. He looked at Fu Diao who was looking at him with a smile. He couldn't help but hesitate a little. He walked into the canteen, pointed to the magazine and asked the boss.

"Hello, I want to ask... did this magazine just arrive?"

"Huh? Professor Claus?" The owner of the canteen seemed to be very familiar with Professor Claus. When he saw Professor Claus coming over, his eyes lit up, he reached out and picked up the magazine and handed it to Claus, happily He chuckled.

"Sorry, Professor Claus, I don't know much about these things. If you are interested, you can read it yourself. Just don't spill coffee on the magazine. After all... you know."

"Ah, thank you."

Professor Claus was stunned, hesitantly took the magazine handed over from the man's hand, put it on the table, his fingers hovered in the air and trembled for a few times, then put down the coffee in the other hand, and put both hands on it. After wiping his body three or four times in a row, he carefully reached out and opened the magazine. After flipping through the previous catalog to the relevant catalog, he asked the stall owner next to him who was watching TV boredly.

"By the way...how do you know me? I'm sorry, but there seems to be no trace of you in my impression..."

"Ha, it's normal not to. I know you from my daughter's story."

"Um...Sorry, daughter? I don't understand."

Klaus took out his reading glasses from his breast pocket and hung them on the bridge of his nose. After slightly raising his head and looking at the store manager in front of him, he continued to look for reports about Fu Tiao.

"Is your daughter... also from our school?"

"That's right. Didn't my daughter tell you about me, Professor Claus? That would be a pity."

The store manager leaned against the counter and shrugged at Klaus.

"After all, I am Portuguese. My daughter came to the Berlin University of the Arts in Germany to study piano. This is a very proud thing. In order to allow her to study here better, I took her with me. When I got here, I rented a house nearby, and then in order to make a living, I opened a small shop of my own."

After that, he lightly snapped his fingers, looked around with satisfaction, and said with a smile.

"Although she can't make much money, a normal life is still enough. After all, the most important thing is for her to study hard here."

"There are very few parents like you... I have only met some parents of my Asian students. It is very rare for European parents to resign their jobs and come to Berlin to study with their children."

"Hahaha, there are indeed some. It seems that she didn't tell the teacher about this."

"Um……"

Klaus found the content about Fu Tiao, his eyes immediately lit up, and he made a gesture to the store manager who was still talking boastfully.

"Sorry, can you stop for a moment? I want to finish reading this report."

"Of course, of course, no problem!"

The shopkeeper immediately shut his mouth, and Klaus also focused his attention on the column about Fu Tiao.

"How an Artist is Made"

This is the big title.

The subtitle placed below is...

"Exclusive interview with Fu Tiao and his friends chamber orchestra."

Exclusive interview?
Klaus thought for a while and continued reading, only to find that in just a few minutes, all his attention was attracted by this exclusive interview.

“How an artist is made, I have thought about this for a long time, because I also dreamed that I could become an artist and play my own music to everyone on stages around the world.

But it's a pity that I can't become an artist because my strength is too weak. Such a weak me can only become an ordinary reporter and columnist. If I want to become an artist, it is really difficult. It's too whimsical...

I used to think that the gap between me and the top artists was just a matter of talent. If I had their talent, I would definitely be able to play at a better level than them!
Before I met Fu Diao, I had always thought this way, so even though I interviewed many artists, I always had a sense of integrity in my heart, that is, they could succeed only because their talent was strong enough.

But after meeting Fu Diao, I completely changed my mind, because compared to those traditional artists, Fu Diao works hard enough!Excellent enough!It’s enough to shock people…”

Fu Tiao?effort?
Klaus raised his head and thought about it, feeling a little weird.

Fu Tiao is not the hardest working among all his students. He only practices for about eight hours a day, right?Only so long.

When it comes to hard work, those South Korean students are honestly the hardest working among all his students.

It's just a pity that I don't know if it is because the talents of South Korean students are too low. The results of these South Korean students are relatively average...

According to my friends at school, those South Korean students arrive at the school gate around six o'clock every morning and wait to practice piano.

This kind of effort continued until about ten o'clock in the evening, when the piano room closed.

Some people will even stay up all night and sleep directly in the piano room or in the corners of some stairs.

In terms of hard work, this group of people should be the hardest working group.

It's just a pity...

Klaus shook his head and did not continue thinking.

Because he found that his thinking was wrong.

Fu Diao was just not the hardest working group among his students.

But Fu told him that he was not just a student?

So...if Fu Diao works hard, is it actually true?

Klaus threw this thought aside and continued to read the man's description.

“I came to Salzburg not long after the Salzburg Music Festival started. There weren’t many people here at the beginning. The main artist I saw here was Fu Tiao. , a quartet like Mira, Taha, Camilo, and some other musical groups.

Because Fu Diao's name is very loud, I once wanted to directly report to Fu Diao in the room and have a few words. Unfortunately, from the first day I arrived in Salzburg until I finished writing, When writing this manuscript, the number of times I met Fu Tiao was only...twice!
For the first time, I met Fu Tiao when he was checking in.

The second time was this concert between him and his orchestra members. I enjoyed his music, and then stood in front of him again and asked him some questions.

Other than that, I never saw a single Fu tune.

Is it because I haven't been able to find Fu Tiao?
No, not really. To be honest, I always knew where Fu Diao was. Even everyone in Salzburg knew where Fu Diao was.

He was in the piano room of Mozart University, a relatively large piano room.

He just sat there, leading his band members, practicing over and over again.

He is looking for the most suitable way to interpret the works in his hands, and he constantly strives for excellence to interpret everything.Did he not practice at the beginning?

No, obviously not.

I think as long as anyone has listened to their first performance, they should know one thing, that is, Fu Diao has prepared the work very early, and they have already been confident.

But why do they continue to practice?
I think there is only one answer, and that is...perfect!
Perfection is my only idea for his performance. Only he can use this kind of practice to carve out his music.

And I was honored to hear the Mozart Piano Quartet K478 and the Beethoven Piano Quartet WoO36 presented by Fu Tiao and his friends live.

Today I fully understand what a perfect performance is, and I also fully understand why Fu Tiao is able to perform such a work while many others cannot appreciate its beauty.

Is it because this kind of work is difficult?
I think it is definitely not, because such works may have been among the more difficult works at the time, but now, no matter which pianist has become famous, they are not particularly difficult works.

So what is the reason why there is no most authoritative interpretation version of Mozart’s K478?

I didn't know it originally, but now that I heard Fu Tiao's performance, I feel like I have found the answer.

Perhaps, they do not have the same spirit of research as Fu Diao, and their ideas about music are too shallow. This is why for so long, there has not been an authoritative piano chamber orchestra that has played the most suitable Mozart K478.

It was not until today that Fu Tiao took his friends to interpret together, and the best interpretation of this piece fell into his hands. "

Nasty, really gross.

Seeing this reporter's description, even Klaus felt numb.

For the first time, he felt that it was possible to praise someone in such a way?

Are you sure this is a compliment and not a compliment?

Although there are not many Mozart K478s that have particularly good results, there are quite a few that are good, right?

He didn't know what to say, but he felt like goosebumps were rising.

Klaus swallowed and continued reading, looking at the reporter's praise of Fu Tiao.

"Before I introduce Fu Diao, I would like to introduce to you the members of Fu Diao's chamber orchestra. It is different from the random chamber orchestra that everyone thinks of. This chamber orchestra is not an ordinary chamber orchestra.

Of course, this is not a particularly famous chamber orchestra.

This chamber orchestra is composed of Taha, the winner of the International Piano Competition for violin, Mila, the winner of the International Piano Competition for cello, and Camilo, a core member of the Berlin Philharmonic for viola.

What I want to explain to you is not that I want to tell you how awesome and amazing Fu's orchestra is.

I just want to tell you one thing, that is, Fu Diao leads the practice, not only by him, but also by all his orchestra members, these top soloists at the world championship level.

And Dior, who leads these soloists, is also a world champion, but one thing that is different from others is that Fu Tiao has another honor, which is the Best Newcomer at the Ruhr Piano Festival.

He uses his supreme personal charm, full of spirituality and unpredictable timbre to drive the whole music, making everyone completely immersed in his music and unable to extricate themselves.

When listening to Fu Diao's performance, you may even have a trace of self-doubt. That's why Fu Diao can play such a strong piece?
Even if you use the most authoritative details to understand Fu Tiao's performance, every detail is taken to the extreme without leaving any gaps, and you will not find any flaws.

Such perfection does not only exist in Fu Diao's performance, but also in his companions.

Can such playing ability be directly erased simply by using their high talent?
I think……

No one can say such a thing.

Because this is no longer a problem that can be ignored simply because of high talent and strong talent.

As long as you listen to Fu Diao's efforts, you will know that this is an inevitable result.

From the first day they came to Salzburg, they never slacked off. They kept practicing, practicing, looking for problems, solving problems, and only made the music better.

With such a level of dedication, how many other pianists can still practice like this?

I think it's probably very small.

When I wander around the streets of Salzburg, I can find many artists. They are walking on the streets, happily listening to this year’s music festival, watching the street performers on the street, and applauding from time to time, and some even go up Come and perform.

While they were hanging out, Fu Tiao and his team were practicing the piano.

While they were playing, he and his team were practicing the piano.

While they were enjoying the delicious food, Fu Tiao and his team were still practicing the piano.

This kind of piano practice has long been more than just practicing to complete a task like other artists.

This is to practice the piano so that all audiences can enjoy a more perfect performance.

This is practicing for their own inner peace.

During the time that Fu Diao was in Salzburg, he was a pure person, a noble person, and a person who was free from vulgar taste!

Only such a person can give everyone such a wonderful performance, and can make the audience who heard his performance tonight forget to come back.

If I didn't think that speaking like this might be too arrogant, I would even call Fu Diao the strongest person this year!
His performance is not only perfect, he has become the strongest performance in a god-level live performance!

If possible, I really hope that I can live in this day forever, because only in this way can I appreciate Fu Diao and the purest musical beauty that his companions have brought to us countless times.

Also during his playing, I completely understood one thing.

That's the difference between me and these top artists isn't just talent.

The gap between me and these artists, in addition to talent, is also the attitude towards art. They really face music with the attitude towards art, and they even continue to study in order to interpret the most perfect music. , just for that little bit of progress.

Practice, practice, and more practice.

Far beyond what ordinary people practice.

How many top pianists stop practicing piano after becoming famous. They spend all their time playing, driving racing cars, doing variety shows, and participating in chat interviews.

You can see him everywhere, but you just can't see him in a music scene.

They keep talking about how loyal they are to music and persuade fans to attend their concerts, but what exactly can they bring to their fans?
Is it just overturning again and again?
Listening to Fu Diao's music that strives for excellence, and listening to someone else's performance that night, I understood something deeply.

That is……

There are differences between musicians, not everyone can be an artist.

but!

No matter how the standards of an artist change, I think that Fu Tiao can definitely become an artist in everyone's heart by virtue of his enthusiasm for art.

No, it’s not just Fu Tiao, but also his team members. These young guys are all good and their future is bright.

Seeing them, I saw the future of classical music orchestras.

Only they can represent the future direction of classical orchestras.

They are the beacons and superstars of classical music.

Not those old men who are in high positions and cannot play. "
