pianist from the sea

Chapter 294 It’s over, the house was stolen!
Following this report was a simple interview with Fu Tiao.

But at this time, Klaus couldn't stand it anymore. For the first time, he felt that these magazines were so bragging.

Isn’t this too outrageous?
Is the light of classical music coming out?

Although he often plays Fu Diao, saying that this place is good and that place is good, and it is simply the hope for the future of classical music.

But that was just verbal praise, not actual praise.

Such flattery posted directly in the newspaper is simply disgusting...

Outrageous!

Why didn't these people praise me so much in the first place?

Klaus coughed slightly and spoke to the store manager in front of him.

"Um... are there any other magazines that have reports about Dior Fu? Or reports about the Salzburg Music Festival. If so, can you help me pack them up?"

"Salzburg Music Festival? Let me see..."

Although the shop owner is Spanish, he speaks relatively good German.

Moreover, the names of the Salzburg Music Festival and Fu Tiao are not difficult to find.

After quickly flipping through all the magazines in the music magazine area, he found the content about Fu Tiao.

There are almost ten books in total.

About 7 of them praise Fu Diao and put Fu Diao on the home page.

Even before reading the content, Klaus already felt goosebumps a little bit.

The remaining books mainly describe the content of the Salzburg Music Festival.

It seems to be a long report, but it just briefly introduces the recent performance.

There seems to be no mention of Fu Tiao.

but……

Klaus always felt that this group of people might continue to mention Fu Tiao.

There are so many other people discussing about Fu Tiao's performance, but you guys don't discuss it. Don't you seem a little bit unsociable?

After confirming all the book information, the store manager finished bundling the magazines, patted the top one, and smiled at Klaus.

"Professor Kraus, since you bought so many books, I will sell these books to you for 100 euros at a time. I won't need any more."

"Then...thank you."

Klaus's eyes lit up and he nodded to him. He took out five 5-euro bills from his pocket and handed them to him. He happily took the book from the shopkeeper's hand, and then his arm sank suddenly.

The shop owner didn't feel anything while holding so many books, but when it was his turn to grab these books, the weight really came on.

He glanced helplessly at the book in his hand, nodded and waved to the shopkeeper.

"Then I'll leave now and contact you later when I have time."

"Okay, Professor Claus, go back and look after my daughter. It's not easy for her to be alone in school. As a father, I can't give her any help..."

The shopkeeper was mumbling over there as he put the 100 euros into the counter and kept it well.

Then I thought about it and took out a few dozen euros from my pocket.

Although this store belongs to him, the turnover still has to be calculated.

Even for such a small shop, their items are not something you can just use without paying for them.

Although the money will still return to them in the end, if they misuse the items in their store without paying, the bill will become a mess by then, which is not easy to calculate.

After Klaus left the retail store with the book in his hand, he walked to the nearby bus station. After two or three stops, he arrived at the entrance of Berlin University of the Arts.

After he moved the books in his hands to his piano room unsteadily, he reached out to open the books and read them carefully.

Then he was shocked.

He may have just felt that these people were praising others too hard and did not follow the normal logic of flattery. It was simply too nonsense.

But now, he no longer has this idea.

Because almost everyone has the same touting logic.

Everyone is using the same way to praise Fu Diao and other people in the Fu Diao band.

No one restrained himself even a little bit.

The promise of the future of classical music is already a relatively general compliment.

There was even a relatively small magazine that directly said that Fu Tiao and his orchestra had become a beacon of classical music, guiding the future direction.

How can you still brag like this?
Klaus also feels that he knows Fu Tiao, and his relationship with Fu Tiao is pretty good, right?

After all, I had worked with Fu Diao for so long and taught Fu Diao so much.

You've only been out for a long time, why do you feel so strange now?

Is this really Fu Tiao?
Klaus thought for a while and continued to look through other magazines, that is, those magazines that did not have Fu Tiao on the cover, to see what those people thought of the Salzburg Music Festival.

The result was much different from what he thought...

In these small magazines, Fu Tiao was praised even more vigorously, as if Fu Tiao was their reborn parent.

Fu Tiao was able to play music for them, which was almost like a miracle.

Although it was almost exaggerated to praise other people, Klaus still rubbed his head and felt a sense of confusion.

Fu Tiao him...

Is he really that awesome?

This is too outrageous, right?

Fu Tiao has reached this level now?
Are you sure this is really Fu Diao and not someone else?

For the first time, Klaus felt strange to his student.

It was as if Fu Diao had never had a lesson with him.

He didn't even know that he was so familiar with Fu Diao that he no longer felt fresh about it.

Or it's because those people are too unfamiliar with Fu Diao, and Fu Diao's performance exceeds their thoughts, so their praise of Fu Diao is too strange.

All kinds of thoughts were echoing in Klaus's mind, and he didn't know what he should say.

He thought for a long time, and finally got up and walked to the secretariat.

At this moment, there is only the chief secretary in the secretariat.

Although it is called the Secretariat, this place is actually more like a place responsible for chores.

Almost everything in the school, big or small, is done by people from this secretariat.

For example, the school's curriculum schedule, attendance and examination pass or failure, school agents, recruitment notices, library management, etc...

Basically, everything you think of and can't think of is done by the people in the secretarial department.

All emails are sent through the secretarial department.

Someone in school has always said that if you have a problem, just go to the secretarial department and they will help you solve all problems.

If it can be solved.

Of course, they are more responsible for a communication responsibility.

Because it is up to the teacher to decide whether to pass the exam. After the teacher decides, the secretariat will review it and then release it.

When it comes to school enrollment, teachers from each major decide who to recruit, and then the people in the secretarial department are responsible for conveying the information.

The same is true for things like recruitment notices. All are sent to the Foreign Affairs Department first, and then those people review them and send them to the Secretariat Department. The person in charge of the Secretariat Department then communicates them to the entire school.

Therefore, although you can go to the people in the secretarial department for everything, it is basically best not to have too high expectations for matters outside of their responsibilities.

Klaus came to the front of the secretarial department, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door. The secretary in the room who was bored writing emails and planning to send them to a group immediately stood up, nodded to Klaus, and said.

"Good morning Mr. Claus, you look really good today."

"Good morning, Mr. Christian, the same goes for you." Klaus bowed slightly to his secretary Christian for a moment, then asked him: "Christian, I want to find some information, I need some information about Dior Fu's documents, some videos or recordings of his concert performances, please..."

"Ah, Dio Fu, your student, right? Doctor? If I remember correctly..."

Christian seemed to have a good memory. He just heard Fu Diao's name and walked directly to the corresponding place.

After flipping through the documents in his hand, he confirmed the location of the documents and turned to Klaus.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Claus. Our music library here only contains Fu's "Chopin International Piano Competition Concert" recordings and some of the "Dior Fu's European Tour" European Tour Concert recordings. In addition to this, In addition, there is also a recording of the latest "Dior Fu et Ruhr Festival" produced by Deutsche Grammophon." He stood up and walked to the side and tapped the tablet in his hand, and the printer next to him began to buzz. It rang, and after a moment, a piece of paper fell in front of them.

The secretary picked up the paper and handed it to Klaus.

"I also recently saw about Fu's performance at the Salzburg Music Festival. I know he played very well, but I'm sorry, we don't have a recording here."

"Um...you also saw his report?"

"Of course, our school library has always carried major music magazines, so when the magazines came here today, I saw a lot about Fu's performance. As for his performance, I can only say...it is very excellent. , but I don’t have an absolutely accurate answer to what it is.”

Christian shrugged his shoulders at Klaus, expressing his helplessness.

"Damn, I forgot about this. I just spent almost a hundred euros on a bunch of today's magazines. If I had known..."

Klaus complained through gritted teeth.

He held the document that Christian handed him and thought about it for a moment, then asked Christian.

"So...is there any other place where I can see Fu's performance?"

"Perhaps you can read about Fu's performance through some information on the Internet? Maybe?"

Christian shrugged at Klaus.

He didn't have an absolutely correct answer, so he could only give him as many opinions as possible.

"I don't know either. You can go look for it yourself..."

"Christian!!!"

Before Klaus could react, there was another voice behind him. The voice was slightly familiar. Klaus turned his head and looked behind him, and found Hubble standing there waving the magazine in his hand.

"Christian, let me ask you, do you have any records about Fu and his band? Or recording materials? I want it now. I really can't hold it in for a moment. Such a high evaluation. Did it come out of my hands? I really can't believe it...Huh? Klaus? "

Hubble, who was standing at the door and making a lot of noise, saw Klaus who was also standing in the house. He couldn't help but stop the noise and looked at Klaus in surprise.

"Oh my god? Professor Claus? You came here...to see something about Fu Tiao? Do you also know about his concert performance?"

"if not?"

Klaus looked at Hubble, who was startled behind him, and frowned a little, a little puzzled: "Why don't I go and find out what's going on with my students? Their praises are too insensitive. I'm even a little surprised. I Are our students really good at playing?"

"Well……"

Hubble had a strange expression: "Is it possible that your student plays so well, but you just haven't paid attention..."

Let's talk. He walked up to Klaus and asked the secretary-general: "Christian, help me check if there is any audio or video of their performance this time. If so, send me one." share."

"Sorry, Professor Hubble. I just told Professor Claus that we don't have any recordings about Fu here. I'm sorry."

"Ah, no, that's a pity. I really want to hear what kind of performance my students can accomplish in the end. Reading these newspapers is really heart-breaking."

"I'm more curious about what he did to make so many people write an entire report about him. This is too outrageous..."

Klaus shook his head, glanced at Hubble from the corner of his eye, and walked quickly outside the concert hall.

Since Christian has no information about Fu Tiao, he can only go back and listen to other contents of Fu Tiao.

For example, I had made a reservation before, but it had just arrived a short time ago, and I had not yet heard Fu Tiao’s god-level live performance.

He knew that Fu Tiao's piano skills were strong, there was no doubt about this.

But he had no idea that Fu Tiao's chamber music level could be so strong.

When he saw so many newspapers recommending Fu Tiao's Ruhr Piano Festival, he felt relatively calm.

It is actually very normal to perform like this in a god-level live performance.

But when he saw so many newspapers reporting on Fu Tiao's chamber music, he admitted that he began to panic.

He couldn't help but start to fantasize about whether he would switch from piano solo to chamber music.

After all, chamber music is an equally important music market.

Now that Fu Tiao has reached a god-level performance on the piano, it is really possible that he feels that he is almost done and will give up studying the piano and turn to chamber music.

So when he looked at Hubble beside him, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis in his heart.

Damn it, you can’t just let others take away the students you have cultivated so well!

Forget about my old friend Kapustin, he can be considered a famous composer now, and his jazz writing is very good.

Fu Diao seems to be very interested in jazz. I definitely can't stop Fu Diao from learning jazz.

That's why he readily agreed to Fu's transfer to study with Kapustin.

But for chamber music, he wanted Fu Tiao to have more exposure to different music forms and suggested Fu Tiao to learn it!

What a joke!

He just went there to make some contacts and let him have a wider contact, but the student he liked became a big boss in the field of chamber music?

Judging from these comments, it seems that he wants Fu Tiao to focus on the development of piano chamber music?
How can this be agreed?
but……

Fu Tiao doesn’t really like chamber music, does he?Decided to make a complete transition to chamber music and become a chamber music performer?
Should... no?

The more Klaus thought about it, the more likely it became.

He quickly returned to his room, and after struggling for a long time, he made several phone calls.

It was not transferred to Fu, but to several other teachers.

For example, Taha’s violin teacher and Mira’s cello teacher.

As for Camelot...

His teacher is Hubble, so there is no need to fight for this.

He knows that Hubble's classroom is good at teaching music, but he doesn't want you to steal his students there!

Therefore, Klaus contacted them on the phone. After seeing that both of them were free, he found two teachers and went to a small room to chat for a long time.

Just as he thought.

The three teachers all have similar ideas about chamber music.

Fu Diao, Mila, and Taha are all soloists, and their participation in chamber music only broadens their musical horizons.

It does not mean that they should completely join chamber music and become chamber music performers.

Although this may not be a nice thing to say, but...

If you can become a top artist in the world as a soloist, why do you have to do chamber music and collaborate with others to share the honor?

Although the top group of chamber music players are still very good at their level.

But if we look at performance in terms of popularity, solo performances are definitely more dominant.

Therefore, the three people discussed it and after confirming that there were no problems with the three of them, they each returned to their respective sites, turned on their mobile phones and started contacting their students.

After Klaus returned to his piano room, he asked the students behind him not to follow him in class. After finding a place for himself where no one was paying attention, he called Fu Tiao.

No one answered, it seemed like they were on the phone.

His heart sank, and after waiting for a few minutes, he called Fu Diao again.

Still on call.

This time, Klaus did not wait, but kept calling Fu Diao until he could get through.

Listening to the countless ringtones of ongoing calls, he even had the slightest doubt.

I wonder if Fu Diao has blocked him.

But soon, most of the doubts in his mind disappeared.

Because his call was connected, Fu Diao's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello? Good morning, Professor Claus."

Fu Tiao walked to the edge of the room, reached out and casually took a cup of triple concentrate without any milk or sugar, and drank it down in one gulp.

The bitterness in his mouth made his brain feel extra awake.

Coupled with the opening of the window, the cool wind blowing in the forest outside the door made his whole spirit slightly uplifted.

Fu Tiao stood at the window, looking at the castle in the distance through the gap in the dense forest, and asked Klaus.

"Professor, what do you want from me?"
