pianist from the sea

Chapter 30 Breakdown and Exercises

"I want to ask, is it necessary to play together? Why do I see them all in pairs?"

Fu Tiao looked at Jiang Ruijia, with a puzzled tone: "Shouldn't it be more convenient to play alone?"

"Eh? That..." Jiang Ruijia was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect Fu Tiao to talk to her, she couldn't help blinking, and whispered, "Maybe... it's easier to get a high score?"

"That's it...then you, do you need to partner with me?"

Fu Tiao's voice was extremely steady, but Jiang Ruijia's thoughts broke down instantly.

She looked at Fu Diao in disbelief. She didn't expect Fu Diao to agree to form a team. She swallowed and her voice trembled.

"No no no no"

In less than a long time, the last word was said for a long time without saying it
Fu Tiao didn't care, just nodded and said casually.

"Don't you need it? Okay, then...see you later."

"Huh? Eh? No, no? Uh..."

Jiang Ruijia's pupils also widened, then she suddenly lowered her head, curled up on the seat, her face turned even redder.

Fu Tiao looked at Jiang Ruijia in confusion, not knowing why she suddenly crouched with her head in her arms.

"Huh? You..."

"No, nothing!! Sorry!!!"

Jiang Ruijia stood up abruptly, shook her head frantically, picked up her bag, turned around and ran away, leaving Fu Diao with a dazed expression on her face.

"?"

After thinking about it for a long time, Fu Tiao couldn't understand Jiang Ruijia's thoughts. He could only shake his head, picked up his schoolbag and got up to leave. He first went to the counselor's office to sell the vacation, and arranged the courses after the counselor got it.

Since he represented Huaguo in the Chopin International Piano Competition, the school counselor kindly said that Fu Diao could spend more time on piano practice. You can temporarily skip public classes like this.

Although it is said that there will not be many public classes in the first year, after deleting many courses in this way, the originally complicated class schedule becomes extremely clear in an instant.

In the first year of the course, he only has professional courses left, such as pop/jazz music performance, singing audition, ear training, harmony counterpoint and other professional courses that need to continue to study.

After confirming his class schedule, Fu Tiao left the counselor's office and breathed a sigh of relief looking at the extremely small music academy.

Finally, on the right track!

Now that he has returned to Huaguo, the most important thing at present is to continue playing Chopin and strive for higher results in the competition.

Not just for others, but more for yourself.

Since the beginning of the Chopin International Piano Competition, Fu Tiao has felt the depth of classical music in the performances of countless people. This learning method has made him very interested.

That being the case, he wants to see how far he can go in this kind of classical music that pursues depth.

Before Argerich said that he did not have the feeling of Chopin, and Yu Tianyou also said that he did not have the feeling of Chopin.

He has been trying to understand Chopin and let himself play Chopin's feeling, but no matter what, it is still a little bit worse.

When playing jazz before, I tried to integrate Chopin as much as possible, but it still didn't feel right, and the integration failed all the time.

Unable to find an answer, he decided to go to the library to have a look to see if he could find some answers.

The reason why he didn't go to the teacher was because the counselor told him that his teacher went out for a concert and didn't come back until Thursday.

Before that, he needs to practice on his own.

The main reason for going to the library is that, for Fu Tiao, the library is very sacred, and I often heard people talking about the library when I was on the boat.

I heard that no matter what the problem is, you can basically go to the library to solve it.

But on the ship, even newspapers were very scarce, let alone other books, so Fu Tiao had never seen a library, and he only got the English words he knew from the horse racing information and advertisements in the newspapers.

Now that he was in the university, he naturally planned to come to the library to take a look and see if he could find the answer to the question.

The library of Haicheng Conservatory of Music is different from the libraries of other universities. There are several times more books about art and literature than those about science and engineering.

Most of it is a variety of sheet music.

Following the guide, Fu Diao quickly found books about Chopin.

"A Brief History of Chopin"

"The Creation of Chopin"

"Chopin"

Liszt on Chopin

"The Hidden Chopin"

These are books that analyze the history of Chopin, which can help readers understand Chopin faster and know exactly what kind of person Chopin was.

At the same time, Fu Tiao also searched for many other books.

"Chopin Nocturnes"

"Chopin Etude Op10"

"Chopin Etude Op25"

"Chopin Ballad Collection"

"Chopin Polonaise"

……

These are the scores, the scores prepared by Fu Tiao for the history of Chopin.

If you just look at a person's history, then you can only understand a person from a macro narrative.

If accompanied by a musical score, a person's history can be understood more clearly.

Just like "Biography of Celebrities", to understand the three celebrities, in addition to their history, it is more to observe their works and letters.

What Fu Diao is doing now is the same, except that he doesn't rely on others to feed him, he has to think for himself.

What exactly did Chopin experience at that time, why did he create these works, and what significance did these works have for him.

These are very important to Fu Tiao.

As Argerich told him before.

Fu Tiao does not have a complete, exact Chopin in his heart.

In his music there is only himself and Chopin that he has learned through other people's music.

These musics are very empty, just like the macro narrative, it seems to be able to understand everything, but in fact it can't understand anything.

Only by correctly establishing a complete Chopin in one's heart, and then playing those music, can the music itself become clearer and more thorough.

Let his Chopin have a complete foothold in the music, not a rootless apple.

After Fu Diao found a place to print out those scores, he sat down with a lot of paper and looked at Chopin's biography slowly.

The first work written by Chopin is Polonaise in G minor. This work was written by Chopin when he was 7 years old to his father's disciple, Countess Victoria Scarbet.

Fu Tiao found a piece of work according to the number above, and read it carefully.

I don't know if it's because of the environment of the library, but when he looked at the music score in his hand, he quickly fell into it and entered a state of incomparable concentration.

In his world, there is nothing but music and the tadpoles on the staves.

Time passed by, the surroundings gradually turned dark, and then the lights came on. Fu Tiao didn't notice it, he was immersed in the music and couldn't extricate himself.

It's not a difficult piece, but the musical flair is in every note.

Unlike before the Chopin International Piano Competition, Fu Tiao was completely immersed in the score this time, instead of listening to other people's performances.

once, twice, three times...

Fu Tiao has forgotten how many times he has read this piece of work. This piece of work has been completely disassembled in front of him in line with Chopin's history.

The progress of music, the direction of music, the thought of music.

Everything appeared in Fu Tiao's mind.

Snapped!
Fu Tiao got up suddenly, he felt a little bit of Chopin's smell, and didn't think much about rushing outside with the books.

drop!
The detection door at the door rang suddenly, and the staff blocked his way.

"The classmate came back, your book has not been registered for borrowing, register first, and then take it away."

"Sorry, I forgot..."

Fu Tiao suddenly remembered that he was in the library now, and the books needed to be borrowed before he could take them away.

He turned around and went back, followed the prompts of the machine to borrow the few books he needed, and walked out quickly.

He needs to go to the piano room now, to express all the feeling in his heart.

He felt that he might have touched a little corner of Chopin.

However, when he walked quickly to the door of the piano room, he found a particularly serious problem...

The piano room is full!
