pianist from the sea

Chapter 62 Who Are You (5k)

"It's amazing!" Fu Tiao blurted out without the slightest hesitation: "It's really amazing, especially the part at the beginning, and the part that Mr. He and you discussed with Zhu Zai before. The beauty of the music is really strong. And... the transparency in it!"

Fu Tiao rubbed his chin, immersed in his own world, and explained slowly.

"The sense of transparency that belongs to you, Mr. He, in the music has become extremely pure, and the musicality in it is also extremely beautiful. By the way, there is also the feeling of Chopin. Mr. He, your feeling of Chopin is very strong. I can feel it. To a complete and systematic Chopin in it, I can even feel Mr. He’s construction of Chopin through the music, what kind of thoughts do you have about Chopin, Mr. He, why do you think so, really, very powerful !"

"Hey, isn't it inevitable?" He Shen smiled: "I have practiced Chopin for more than ten years. The associate professor of piano in the college won many awards when he was young. Even if there is no world-class number one among them, it is not comparable to other ordinary pianists without any qualifications! And... "

He Shen paused for a moment, he looked at He Shen with a smile, and said slowly: "And you have to know, I have said since the first time I met you that my Chopin may be the top few existences in the country. , I am not only well-known at home, but I am also famous abroad. Among the top music schools such as Berlin University of the Arts, Paris Ecole Normale Supérieure, Manhattan School of Music, etc., I am also the kind who is enough to be famous and invited to give lectures Hey, don't underestimate me... Hey wait, you haven't been underestimating me before, have you?"

"No..." Fu Tiao looked away a little guilty.

He Shen stared at Fu Tiao, and the air was extremely quiet for a while.

But soon, He Shen laughed, stretched out his hand and patted Fu Tiao's shoulder, and said in a cool voice: "Okay, don't make a sour face, I'm just joking with you, I don't care if you look down on me. Let’s talk about Chopin’s practice first, all in all...work hard and keep practicing!”

"it is good."

"Okay, come to me tomorrow and submit a report on your study in the concert hall today, or you can go and play for me directly, do you hear me? You can go to the Internet, that is...imslp Find a score for two pianos and play it, or you can submit a paper document, whatever, sort out your questions and give me a little more sorting, don’t ask questions and have new ones that haven’t been written, wait for you to sort them out Let me give you a unified answer, you know?"

"Oh, I see."

"Okay, if you know it, I'll withdraw first, tsk tsk, I didn't expect to play the time all of a sudden, and I don't know how long it will take to earn the money back... Sigh, I'm getting poorer and poorer. Barely regarded as a member of the industry bigwigs, how did he become like this? Sigh..."

With a sigh, He Shen picked up the clothes and draped them over his shoulders, then turned and left.

The room was extremely restless, and everyone on the stage was also packing up their instruments and preparing to leave.

Only Zhu Zai was discussing some details with the head of the band branch. Both He Shen and Zhu Zai could hear the problems of some people before, but they were not easy to talk about, and they were all dealing with some details.

Zhu Zai forwarded the problem to the chief of the distribution, and then to the chief of the instrument, and the chief of the instrument gave criticism and guidance to the performers who had problems.

This constitutes a complete chain of the band.

Looking at the crowd on the stage, Fu Diao thought for a while and did not continue to listen to the conversation between the two. Instead, he picked up the music score that He Shen had given him before, turned and left.

It was completely dark outside the house, and he spent the whole day in the concert hall inexplicably. If it wasn't for his stomach growling, he wouldn't remember that he hadn't eaten yet.

Everyone in the orchestra should be similar, and it is not uncommon for them to rehearse into the night during rehearsals. Looking at the way they hang shoulders and shoulders outside the concert hall, they should plan to have a dinner at night.

After all, the orchestra is also a job, not a pure hobby. If you are forced to work overtime after work, you must reward yourself well.

Fu Tiao shook his head, lifted the schoolbag that had slipped off his shoulders again, and walked along the main road towards the subway. Halfway there, he stopped at a bakery to buy a piece of bread, squatting on the side of the road Tearing and eating on a chair.

Still can't see any stars above his head, Fu Tiao is now used to this feeling of not being able to see the starry sky, but he still doesn't like it.

The night without the starry sky loses the charm of the night.

Fu Diao just chewed the bread slowly, feeling the aroma of the bread fermenting in his mouth, and his brain gradually emptied.

There are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky. The road of music has no end. Even his current teacher, Mr. He, is still continuing to move towards a higher level.

Before He Shen, there were more people.

For example, Li Diyun, such as Shanyi, such as Argerich, and even those judges of the Chopin International Piano Competition.

Chopin International Piano Competition is definitely not the end, but a higher starting point!

Obtaining a good score from the Chopin International Piano Competition proves that you have the ability to be on the stage where you can talk to the masters, and you also have the opportunity to receive invitations from all top classical music companies to devote yourself to the classical music career. tour.

All of this is under the premise that he can enter the Chopin International Piano Competition and get a good ranking.

and so……

He must participate in the Chopin International Piano Competition and get a ranking that is enough to prove his strength. Only in this way can he open that door and share a seat with those masters.

If you don't get a good name in the Chopin International Piano Competition, you can only improve slowly, just like He Shen is now.

He Shen's strength in classical music is so strong that even Fu Tiao can't understand it. Even so, he is only a little famous in China, and almost no one cares about him abroad.

As the saying goes, you need to become famous as early as possible, Fu Tiao firmly believes that if He Shen is stronger and can be on the world stage very early, then He Shen will never be a teacher in the Haicheng Conservatory of Music. Instead, he has already served as an honorary professor in the world's top conservatory.

"However, it's really difficult... The feeling of depth in classical music is really difficult to handle. It's completely different from the kind of jazz that pursues individual improvisation. It would be great if classical music could be as simple as jazz..."

"Unfortunately, there is a bottom line requirement for classical music. You have to play Chopin like Chopin, Beethoven like Beethoven, and Mozart like Mozart. These kinds of music require constant thinking and research in order to gradually improve. .”

"I really don't know, when will I be able to play classical music well..."

Fu Tiao raised his head and let out a long sigh. He really wanted to find a jazz bar, indulge in it, and play something casually to release the depression in his heart, just like he was in Warsaw before.

But looking at the surrounding shops, all kinds of online celebrity videos and canteens, there is no jazz bar...

No, not even a bar of any kind exists!

If he was asked to take the subway for an hour to find a jazz bar, Fu Tiao felt that it would be too much of a waste of time. Wouldn't it be nice to have an extra sleep in this little time?

Thinking of this, Fu Tiao could only shake his head helplessly, stuffed the last bit of bread into the entrance, and continued walking towards the subway.

It is very late now, if it is later, it may not be easy to go back.

Although my confidence has been hit a lot, my feeling for Chopin has also become stronger.

He Shen's Chopin, his own Chopin, the unilateral Chopin.

Everything will gradually merge and become his nourishment, helping him become stronger.

only……

Still need a little time!More time is needed!

Completely build your own music system successfully.

From the self in the music to the id, when expressing the composer's thoughts on music, he also needs to express his own emotions on music.

Therefore, in the next few days after He Shen went back, He Shen focused more on music, and he became more diligent in practicing the piano.

Relying on talent alone will not last long, or in other words, there is no possibility of success at all.

Practice, practice, and constant practice will allow you to display your talents.

A talent that cannot be exercised can never be considered a talent.

He Shen saw that Fu Tiao was working harder and harder, and didn't say anything, but silently added more tutoring and teaching to Fu Tiao. In his practice before the concert, he would also split his own practice process for others. Fu Tiao went to listen.

Every time, the time will be exceeded by a lot, and Zhu Zai will say it every time, but He Shen does this every time.

For He Shen, if he really wants to make money, then he has many identities to make money, instead of being in a bit of a difficult situation like he is now.

Fu Diao naturally took it into his heart and was extremely grateful. He tried his best to understand, digest and analyze He Shen's music, thinking about why He Shen's Chopin was played like that, and what kind of benefits this method of playing would have for his future. Or how to help yourself.

but……

Every time he listened to He Shen's rehearsal, Fu Tiao always felt depressed.

After all, what He Shen showed in front of him was really too powerful, and the gap was a bit wide, which gave him the illusion that the gap was getting bigger and bigger.

This restless mood can only be relieved by the jazz class every Monday morning, where he can fully release his talent for jazz music.

In the jazz class, he almost occupied the teacher's place, turning the class into his solo concert.

For example, when the teacher mentioned a jazz style, such as blues and blues, Fu Tiao can directly play blues and blues music on the side.

When it comes to some details that need to be paid attention to, Fu Diao immediately changed the playing method, buckled those details, and magnified them in front of everyone.

What Fu Tiao did made the jazz teacher happy and uncomfortable.

The happy thing is that I am relaxed, and I can just sit on the side and move my lips.

He doesn't even need to make courseware, he just needs to show Fu Tiao the melody, and Fu Tiao can use this melody to arrange various jazz content.

Some even sound better than his arrangements.

The uncomfortable thing is that this opportunity to act aggressive should belong to him. He can use his jazz to act aggressive every time in class, so that those students can learn more.

Seeing their adoring gazes was really refreshing, but it's a pity that all the admiring gazes were given to Fu Diao now.

For a while the jazz teacher didn't know what to do.

Let Fu Tiao play it. It always feels weird. A student is demonstrating and performing on it, and a teacher is talking about it.

Is this Fu Tiao's class or his class!This is completely reversed, okay?

If I let Fu Tiao not play, I always feel that I am treating myself a little bit. It is so good to have such a job that can be a little easier. Taking a break for a class can even be counted as eating and waiting for death.

Everyone is a worker, so why not fish when there is a chance?
Therefore, the jazz teacher could only look at Fu Tiao with a strange feeling, extremely entangled.

But perhaps because Fu Tiao's jazz is too powerful, people in their group were also involved.

You must know that almost everyone who can enter the Haicheng Conservatory of Music is in the top few every year. Who would admit that they are overwhelmed by others?
So watching Fu Tiao playing jazz as teaching material on the podium, the group of people off the stage also began to try to compete with Fu Tiao for the position of teaching material.

At the beginning, some people would choose two people to play together. After that, basically everyone played their own music, learning to add flowers to their own music, adding some improvisational content to it, and some people even started to learn from the teacher in advance. What hasn't been said yet.

If you can't learn it, just memorize the performance of Fu Tiao, follow the rhythm of Fu Tiao, and make your progress faster as much as possible.

Everyone is working hard to improve. The jazz teacher suddenly found that he did not prepare enough lessons. He originally planned to teach a method in a week or two, but now he needs to practice a performance method in a week or even less than a week. You even need to start learning compound jazz performances, as well as pop music performances.

What if the speed is too fast?If the following courses are completed ahead of schedule, you can't give these people the next semester's courses, right?

And some other content...

Countless thoughts passed through his mind, which made the teacher even more entangled.

Fu Tiao doesn't care what the teacher thinks. For him, the jazz course is a real sense of relaxation. He can play music casually without any interruption or guidance, which can be regarded as complete free.

As for classical music, he is constantly cultivating, pursuing the ultimate in music and finding his own direction.

Very tired, very fulfilling.

But I don't know if it's his own psychological illusion. Fu Diao always felt that when he was practicing classical music, he came back to play jazz again, and he felt more in control of jazz.

There is a feeling that all the shackles on him have been removed, and he can fight wantonly.

And he just performed some works purely relying on his own talent. When he was playing, he would involuntarily go deep into them, thinking about what he thought at the time, and what was the reason for playing this way.

Would there be a better way to proceed if he had to play it all over again?

This feeling made Fu Diao feel very novel.

If he has time, Fu Tiao really wants to spend a lot of time studying his jazz to see if he can make further progress.

but……

Not much time.

The most important thing for him now is to play Chopin well.

Fu Tiao puts all his attention on classical music, and occasionally plays jazz to relax.

Just like that, time flies by.

Soon it was the day of He Shen's concert.

As a teacher of Haicheng Conservatory of Music, Haicheng Conservatory of Music naturally put up posters on the official website, the school bulletin board, and other places.

On the whole black poster, He Shen is wearing a black suit standing in front of the piano, with his hands in his pockets, looking at the camera with a smile, and his body is extremely relaxed.

Behind him is the miniature of the Haicheng Harmony Symphony Orchestra, as well as some performance information.

He Shen's "Chopin's Journey" concert, performer: He Shen, accompaniment orchestra: Haicheng Harmony Symphony Orchestra.

Performance time: 7:30 p.m. Friday night.

organizer:……

A lot of units from Haicheng Conservatory of Music and Haicheng Cultural Bureau appeared on the posters. The characters were so small that it was hard to spot if you didn't pay attention.

But no one cares about these unnecessary contents.

After all, almost everyone's attention is on He Shen on the poster.

So handsome!
Judging from the poster, He Shen's art photo is a bit too handsome, a bit unlike the real person, and even feels a bit too direct, which makes people doubt the authenticity.

However, this did not affect many girls taking pictures around the poster, discussing who this teacher is in the school, and why they have never seen it as a member of the school.

No one thinks that He Shen is from the piano department of the school, and no one thinks that He Shen is a student. After all, He Shen has a very mature face, which is completely different from those young people in their 20s.

It's just that they didn't expect that this He Shen was He Shen from the piano department of the school. He Shen often wore casual clothes in school, and he didn't show any artist feeling at all.

Even Fu Tiao stared at the poster in a daze for a long time, but didn't recognize who the person on the poster was.

but……

When Fu Tiao came to the piano room according to the previous agreement with He Shen, he saw that he was also wearing a black suit with a white inner layer and a black bow tie around his neck. An artist-like man with question marks all over his head.

"Uh... who are you?"
