pianist from the sea

Chapter 38 Two methods
Yin Kai's question was just a small episode in Fu Tiao's life. He came to the door of the teacher's classroom according to the class schedule given to him by the teacher.

He looked at the watch in his hand, reached out and knocked twice according to the time set before.

dong dong...

"Enter!"

A rough but incomparably calm voice sounded, Fu Tiao pushed open the door, a middle-aged man in a pure black sportswear with a beard full of scum was sitting on the sofa in the piano room, holding a thermos cup in his hand, reading a newspaper ...

No, it's sheet music.

He raised his head and glanced at Fu Tiao who had pushed the door in. There was no surprise in his eyes, and he nodded slightly.

"Oh? Here?"

"Ah."

Fu Diao sat on the piano bench by the door, nodding slightly to the teacher.

The teacher's name is He Shen. In my memory, this teacher is a teacher he met before the entrance exam. To be precise, he was introduced to him by his teacher in the Central Academy.

Because the original owner wanted to be admitted to the Haicheng Conservatory of Music, and it was close to his home, so his teacher from the Central Academy introduced him.

The two have met a few times before, but they are not familiar with each other.

He Shen sat upright, put the music score aside, looked at Fu Tiao with a smile, and asked.

"How is it? It's a competition. I just came back from a meeting outside the city, and I haven't asked you about the competition yet."

"I shouldn't have any problems in the qualifiers. In terms of basic skills, I can overwhelm the opponent, but there are a few problems in other areas."

"Oh? So you're sure you can pass the qualifiers? No, I'm talking nonsense. I should have given you the invitation letter for the main match, right? To be more precise, how did you feel during the match? How do you feel about your opponent's strength during the qualifiers?"

"Well, the invitation letter was sent to me on the third day after all the competitions ended. As for the opponents in the budget competition... strong and weak in order?"

Fu Tiao's words were relatively casual. Although he guessed that he could pass the qualifiers, he basically knew from other players, such as Yu Tianyou, but he also watched the people in the competition.

To be honest, in terms of basic performance skills, he can definitely be regarded as a particularly strong existence among all performers.

There are many weak ones, and there are also many strong ones.

Just like the Dongying piano princess I saw that day, Kobayashi Aishi.

He played exactly the same work as him, and there were no more than three mistakes in terms of basic playing skills, and his interpretation of Chopin was much more perfect than his.

This kind of player can perfectly dominate him in pure Chopin's works.

The other players are really not good enough.

He Shen smiled, leaned forward, looked into Fu Tiao's eyes, and asked very seriously: "What about you? How is your own performance? How do you think your own performance ranks among everyone? "

"My rank?"

Fu Tiao was silent, he quickly walked through all the contestants in his mind.

If only the mistakes in the work are discussed, he should be considered in the top ten among all people.

If only the basic functions of the fingers are discussed, then he should be in the top five of all people.

If you only discuss the beauty of music, then he can definitely reach the top three among all people.

But still the same sentence, if we talk about Chopin, he is definitely the last one among all people!
His performance is not excellent, and currently he is only relying on basic skills and ears to fill the gap in his music.

After giving himself a score in his heart, Fu Tiao spoke slowly.

"It should be... fifty or sixty."

"Huh? Why is it so low? From your tone, I thought your grades should be in the top ten. Although I haven't seen you preparing for the exam before, I heard from your teacher at the Central Academy that your Chopin is very good. It's not bad, it can even be regarded as the top few among all his students, why do you give yourself such a low score?"

"Because there is no Chopin in my music..."

Fu Tiao's voice was low, and he looked at the teacher in front of him with an extremely serious expression: "I met Argerich."

"Argerich??? Marta Argerich? The piano priestess?"

"Well, if there is no duplicate name, then it should be the same person."

"Marta Argerich actually went to the qualifiers? This..." He Shen was a little surprised, and didn't know what to say for a while: "What did she say?"

"It's nothing, she just told me that there is no Chopin in my Chopin!"

"No, the existence of Chopin..."

He Shen was a little surprised, couldn't help getting up, rubbed his chin, stared at Fu Tiao, and said in a deep voice, "What do you think?"

"I don't really have Chopin."

"How to say?"

"Because I don't have a complete understanding of Chopin..."

Fu Tiao's voice fell, and He Shen froze in place.

He never thought that Fu Tiao would give him such an answer.

"You don't have Chopin in your music? Play it for me."

"it is good!"

Fu Tiao nodded, sat facing the piano, raised his fingers, and then dropped them suddenly.

Chopin etude, Op10, No5, with a more familiar name, this work is called... the black key!
Fu Diao did not choose music that he practiced himself or that was too soft.

Now it's class time, and the most important thing in class is to open up the most difficult side of yourself and show it to the teacher.

Classes are different from the stage. Dance is outflow, while class is absorption.

Fu Tiao especially hopes that his teacher can help him find some things about Chopin.

After all, apart from the previous owner's memory, he never received any guidance from a teacher when he was on the ship.

Therefore, he will use his full strength to play all his abilities.

The sound of the music is extremely intense.

He Shen stood beside Fu Tiao, rubbing his chin, watching Fu Tiao's performance with deep eyes.

When he played the first note in Fu Diao, he had already heard the problem in Fu Diao performance.

As Fu Diao said to him before, there is really not much Chopin in Fu Diao's music.

Or rather, no Chopin at all.

If there is no prerequisite for Fu Tiao, it may take him a long time to think about Fu Tiao's music, but now, he feels very clear.

Everything in music is there, such as mood, atmosphere, rhythm, melody, all kinds of things, but it doesn't feel like Chopin?Instead, there is a kind of broadness and freedom of the sea?
It feels weird.

Why is there such a situation?Why did things in music get so weird?
He Shen didn't have any clue at all. He didn't look up until the end of Fu Tiao, he was just thinking.

"teacher?"

Fu Tiao felt that something was wrong with He Shen's state, and asked, "Teacher, what's the problem?"

"Um……"

He Shen pondered for a moment, seemed to think of something, suddenly raised his head and said to Fu Tiao.

"I have two solutions in this place, which one do you choose?"
