pianist from the sea

Chapter 326: Fu Tiao is so strong?
Lucas, a German, is an ordinary student in Wiesbaden, the capital of Hesse.

Hesse is the state where Frankfurt is located.

Although Wiesbaden is the capital, in fact, its economy and reputation are not as good as those of Frankfurt, a city in Hesse not far away.

There is even a little sense of the relationship between Szhou and Huijing.

Compared with the splendid economic center of Frankfurt, the city of Wiesbaden seems much more bourgeois.

Since it was not hit during the war, everything here seems particularly calm and peaceful.

It's like a garden city.

Baden means bathing in German, and it is also a very important bathing city in Germany.

Living here can be considered extremely comfortable.

The whole city is very quiet and peaceful, and all basic facilities are available.

Even if you want to do some fun, you only need to drive 30 kilometers to directly reach the most prosperous Frankfurt.

If you don’t have a car, the RB10 from Frankfurt to Koblenz, the Eye of Europe, is also your most suitable choice.

Lucas is someone who lives in such a city.

Normally, there are not many cultural and recreational activities in such a city, and most of the cultural and recreational activities will be held in Frankfurt.

The normal living population here is only about 26 people. No matter how much you think about it, it cannot support large-scale cultural and entertainment activities. According to the one percent participation rate in cultural and entertainment activities, only about [-] people will normally participate. Distributed in various fields.

Therefore, the posters on the street are basically tours of some mariachi bands, and rarely contain solo content.

But recently it has been different.

He had discovered some Chinese posters appearing on the streets of Wiesbaden a few months ago.

As a classical music lover, he initially thought this poster was another poster of an unknown mariachi band that wandered to their side to perform.

After taking a quick look, I realized something was wrong. This was a solo concert.

Dior Fu?
He felt like he had heard this name before, but he had no impression of it.

This person should be a very powerful person, but he doesn't know exactly what he did.

It seems that he has won some kind of award?
He didn't know much about this. As a student in Wiesbaden, he often went to the city's theaters to listen to concerts when he had nothing to do. He rarely made a special trip to Frankfurt.

Therefore, he is more familiar with the content of the tracks.

As for the performers, he only knows a few who are particularly good.

For example, orchestras such as the Berlin Philharmonic and Frankfurt Radio.

But even so, he was very sure that he had heard Fu Diao's name.

Looking at more and more Fu Diao posters in the city, he carefully recalled his past memories, but he could never find Fu Diao.

Such troubles made it impossible for him to gather his thoughts.

So when he saw the Fu Diao poster for the last time, he turned on his mobile phone and followed the instructions on the poster to jump to the official website of the Frankfurt Old Opera House.

On this official website list, there is a list of some musicians who have been booked in advance in recent months or even a few months later.

And Fu Tiao's name is among them.

Dior Fu, piano.

20:00, Grand Concert Hall.

Online tickets start from 30 euros.

"30 euros?"

Lucas was stunned. He never expected that Fu Diao's ticket price would be a full 30 euros.

He checked the student tickets for the Frankfurt Opera House and found that student tickets also cost a full 20 euros.

The price is a bit high.

He thought for a while, clicked on the link, and looked at the content above.

There is no detailed information about Fu Tiao's concert on Fu Tiao's page, only a very simple title.

"Mr. Dior Fu will host the evening and announce his program from the stage."

Fu Tiao only announced at the concert what piece he would perform tonight?
this person...

Is his repertoire so extensive?

When he saw the news, Lucas was stunned.

Generally speaking, people who can temporarily decide what works to play tonight on stage are basically people with a very large repertoire.

It's different from what everyone thinks.

Deciding on a piece on the spur of the moment does not mean not knowing what piece to play.

If they really don’t know what works to perform well, then they will choose the same approach as Lang Liangyue did before.

A full set of works will be performed throughout this year.

For example, the suite "Lang Liangyue in Paris" played by Lang Liangyue last year is the same.

No matter where he went, it was as if he was just promoting his record, playing only that set of works.

When deciding on a piece of music on the spur of the moment, as long as you are not a particularly bad person, in most cases you will play the piece you want to play based on your mood that day.

unless……

Places like the Opera House Concert Hall prohibit them from doing this.

Apparently this is not the case at the Frankfurt Opera.

He clicked on the title and saw the content of the article on Fu Tiao's page.

"Dior Fu is one of the top pianists of the young generation who has conquered the entire classical music world. In 2015, at the age of 18, he successfully won the Chopin International Piano Competition and collaborated with the Berlin Philharmonic in 2015. Subsequently, he performed in world-renowned concert halls such as the Berlin Philharmonic Hall and the Concertgebouw in Paris. Later, he successfully won the title of Best Newcomer at the Ruhr Piano Festival in 2016 and replaced Pollini at the Salzburg Music Festival that year. Perform in the hall.

At this point, in his life, there is only one way to go up and use more powerful power to interpret the beauty of music. He also follows this path unswervingly!
This time, he will lead his music to the Old Concert Hall in Frankfurt to show us the beauty of music from the East.

Whenever possible, Mr. Fu prefers to spontaneously decide on the spot what kind of works he will perform and explain to the audience. This may not be possible elsewhere, but in the old opera house, all this will happen. It's possible, after all, the pianist's followers can blindly rely on Fu's choices, and he deserves everyone to do so.

Whether it is Bach, works from the Viennese Classical period, or Romanticism, [-]th century modern works, or works from the Russian National Music School, Fu will interpret them perfectly.

This will be an extraordinary listening experience that everyone can look forward to!You can click on the link below to purchase tickets. "

Yes.

Lucas suddenly remembered a very important point.

That's why he felt that Fu Diao's name was a little bit familiar.

He suddenly remembered that he had taken a train from Wiesbaden to nearby North Rhine-Westphalia to attend the Ruhr Piano Festival last year.

The reason why he was particularly impressed was because the effect of the performance was so great. Even when he returns home now, he still misses the music he heard in the Ruhr area.

And that performer is Fu Tiao.

His memory was not particularly clear at first, but when he saw the best performance of the year at the Ruhr Piano Festival, he matched Fu Tiao with the performer from last year.

In the city of Wiesbaden, if you walk on almost any street, you can see posters of Fu Diao hanging on the fences.

Announcement of Fu Tiao concert information.

He looked at the concert posters and didn't have much entanglement. He directly clicked on the concert ticket purchase link and looked at the information above.

The lowest fare is 30 euros, followed by 45, 60, 75, and 90 euros, and so on.

As a music lover, he did not hesitate to buy the most expensive fare of Fu Tiao.

On that day, he actually didn't have much choice.

Because when he was about to buy, Fu Tiao's tickets had almost been sold.

At least the tickets he saw for 30 euros and all the way up to 60 euros were almost sold.

Only the last 75 euros and 90 euros of tickets are left.

And if you click on these tickets and select the concert hall, you will find that there are only a few scattered seats left in the concert hall.
All the remaining seats were sold out and turned gray.

The VIP private rooms at the edge of the concert hall, although they cost around [-] euros, were sold out just like the cheapest tickets, and it was impossible to buy any private room tickets.

Such a powerful appeal left Lucas no chance to hesitate.

He directly clicked to buy, and did not choose the seat himself, but used the system to select the seat to buy.

He only has one thought now, which is to buy seats for Fu Tiao's concert.

As for the position, he didn't care at all.Just kidding, looking at the situation now, it is already very good to be able to buy seats for Fu Tiao concert. As for choosing seats?Then stop dreaming.

He quickly locked the ticket purchase link and chose to pay. After paying the ticket with Paypal, he waited a few minutes for the ticket purchase information to be uploaded to his mobile phone.

And when he refreshed the concert connection again, he suddenly discovered...

All tickets have been sold.

Only reserved tickets are available now.

In other words, you can only leave your email address now and let nature take its course.

See if anyone chooses to refund the ticket. If someone chooses to refund the ticket, the system will send emails to the people with their email addresses in order to notify them of the ticket purchase information.

He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this information.

In the following days, Fu Tiao's concert posters still remained around Wiesbaden, and you can find them everywhere.

When Lucas walked from Wiesbaden to nearby Mainz to play, he discovered that the same situation was similar there near Mainz.

When he was chatting with friends on WhatsApp, he suddenly found that many people were discussing Fu Tiao's recent performance when discussing the concert.

"Fu is going to Frankfurt to perform in a moment. Did any of you buy his tickets? I think we can go together."

"It's such a pity. I've been busy with papers and exams recently, and I don't have time to pay attention to concert tickets. I didn't expect Fu to come to Frankfurt in the past few days."

"I saw a lot of Fu posters around Mainz, which led me to buy tickets for a Fu concert."

"Me too, as he saw it near Mainz, I also noticed it further away in Mannheim."

"Shocked, unbelievable, there are actually posters about Fu over there in Mannheim?"

"Of course, although the number is not large, I have also seen some posters about Fu in nearby Heidelberg in recent days."

"It seems that Frankfurt's Old Opera House spent a lot of money on Fu this year."

"No, I don't think it should be the Frankfurt Old Opera House. I feel that the company behind Fu should be the one that spends the most money, right?"

"Are any of you paying attention to Fu's subsequent itinerary?"

"I paid attention. There is one last show on the German side. It is at the Munich Concert Hall. After his performance in Munich, he will go directly from Munich to Vienna, and then to Rome. Munich is the last venue on our side."

"Ah, it's such a pity. It would be great if Fu could come on a tour of Germany."

"Fu shouldn't have this condition now, right? But I took a look at the time. Fu will still participate in the Ruhr Music Festival this year. He will be the first performer to appear at the Ruhr Music Festival. I have purchased his performance in the Ruhr Music Festival in advance. I look forward to the votes in our area.”

"The Ruhr area is a bit far away. I'm in Dresden, which is further east. Frankfurt is already extremely far away, let alone the Ruhr area, which almost spans the entire Germany."

"North Rhine-Westphalia is still possible. I am also in North Rhine-Westphalia and have already placed an order for Fu's performance."

"It feels like Fu may have a big explosion this year."

“Look forward to Fu’s performance in Frankfurt in a few days!”

"It's such a pity that I can't buy tickets for Hamburg, otherwise I would have gone directly to Hamburg."

"..."

Lucas browsed through many chat groups and found that everyone's recent chats were all about Fu Tiao.

He looked a little dazed for a moment.

It's like a door to a new world has opened.

When I wasn't paying attention to Fu Diao, it seemed like no one was discussing Fu Diao at all.

As a result, now that he pays attention to Fu Diao, people all over the world are discussing Fu Diao.

It feels slightly strange.

He looked at the man who said he was going to France to attend Fu Tiao's concert, quoted the conversation directly, and sent him a message asking.

"I also plan to go to France. Maybe we can meet in the square in front of the old opera house."

"Great, then let's meet at the door of the old opera house at five o'clock in the afternoon. Maybe we can have a drink."

"Want to attend Fu's concert? I'm coming too, let's gather together!"

"Compared to meeting everyone together, I'm actually more curious about what kind of work Fu will perform that night."

"Yes, there is no introduction to this performance on the official website, which is really exciting."

What kind of works will Fu Diao perform?
Lucas watched everyone's discussion and couldn't help but start thinking too.

He stopped chatting with that group of people and began to read about Fu Diao's experience.

The more I watched, the more shocked I became, and the more I watched, the more surprised I became.

Fu Tiao's understanding and interpretation of music seem to be particularly strong.

It's not just those at Frankfurt's Alte Oper who are praising him.

Even people in other places, such as the Elb Concert Hall in Hamburg, the Berlin Philharmonic Concert Hall, the Warsaw Concert Hall in Poland, and other places, are also praising him.

You can’t even find many negative reviews of Fu Diao online.

"Humility", "Eager to learn", "Unswervingly loyal to music", "Strive to find the most perfect interpretation direction of music"

"Gentle", "Friendly", "Always seems to be thinking about music", "Music is filled with the power of the sea"

"..."

Messages like this piled up on his search page.

He searched for all the bad reviews about Fu Tiao, but found that they were basically on certain forums.

Most people say that they don't like the style of Fu Diao, and they don't like the feeling of Fu Diao in Fu Diao music. They feel that it insults the original work.

After all, this is normal. No one can say that he has conquered everyone.

Even if it's just to rebel, some people will say that they don't like so-and-so.

and……

Those who criticized Fu Diao basically all based on their own personal preferences. No one said that Fu Diao did anything wrong.

Perhaps it was precisely because every detail of Fu Diao's music was done right that they could not find faults and the performance was not performed according to their preferences, which made them angry and criticized Fu Diao.

Looking at these critical messages, Lucas didn't take them to heart.

Obviously, venting emotions has no reference value at all.

If we exclude these emotional expressions, we are only discussing Fu Tiao's personal professional level.

Then you will discover something very scary.

He conquered everyone.

Without realizing it, he conquered everyone who came to his concerts.

He conquered them so easily.

and……

He directed the URL in his hand to the place where Fu Diao music records were sold, and looked at the feedback from the group of people who spent real money to buy Fu Diao records.

I found that compared to the praises of the group of people on the online forum, the praises of this group of people were even more disgusting.

Even if you find the only few negative reviews, you will find that those reviewers tell you how perfect Fu Tiao's performance is.

You don't know for a moment whether these people who spend money to buy Fu Diao's records are really attracted by Fu Diao, or whether they have become die-hard fans of Fu Diao.

But the only thing that is certain is that Fu Tiao's performance is really good.

Coupled with this evaluation and Lucas's own performance of Fu Diao at the Ruhr Music Festival, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation in his heart.

He was really looking forward to what Fu Tiao's concert would be like this time.

Can you bring him new surprises?

Not just him, but also many, many people like him.

Compared with the Hamburg Concert Hall, where there is no entrance to sell tickets, the tickets at Frankfurt's Old Opera House can definitely be considered affordable.

Countless Fu Diao fans are waiting for the Fu Diao performance day.

They flocked to Frankfurt from all parts of Germany.

Arrive in front of the Old Opera House in Frankfurt.

Waiting for the concert to start.
