pianist from the sea

Chapter 7 The ultimate crush

Fu Tiao didn't think about so many things at this moment. In the music, he just did everything he should do.

However, before his fingers dropped, he hesitated a little.

Why hesitate?
He didn't know, he just felt that this work was beautiful.

Kind of like the view he saw from the cabin window when he first decided to record.

It was a very beautiful person. She caressed the broken hair on her forehead and approached the glass of the cabin carefully. At that moment, the eyes of the two met, but unfortunately, there was no spark.

There was only curiosity in her eyes, but throbbing in his eyes.

He will never forget that day, that night, he hid under the cabin, sneaked into her room cautiously, watched her, tapped her lips lightly, and then fled quickly.

This was his boldest move, but unfortunately, she didn't know it.

Until the two were completely separated, he didn't say to her, I love you.

So, what was Chopin doing when he was composing this nocturne?From time to time, he also had a person he liked sitting behind him and watching him, but he didn't dare to come forward to confess his love?
Fu Tiao didn't know, and he didn't care. He just remembered this when he was practicing in the piano room, and felt a little uncomfortable.

It's already 2015?More than 100 years have passed since that her, even if she is still alive, she may have become a centenarian, and it is already rare to be able to walk and eat normally.

Fu Tiao sighed inexplicably, raised his finger, and then lowered it.

sinking into the piano.

when……

An extremely strong sense of melancholy spread from the piano in an instant, and soon infiltrated the entire concert hall.

Everyone was stunned, whether it was the other contestants or the judges, they watched the Fu Tiao being played, and their goosebumps sprang up instantly.

Their eyes were filled with indescribable bewilderment.

The moment the first sound fell, they seemed to hear a sigh.

This sound's interpretation of music has almost reached their most perfect imagination for this sound.

Strength, speed, duration of stay.

This sound is just perfect!
It’s just the first note at the beginning, no, not only the first note, even the first phrase, you can even say that this work is a master-level performance!
This kind of performance can only be barely seen by those masters all over the world, and the masters have to play normally.

After all, masters are also human beings. Many masters’ concerts may not be able to perform at 100% level, and most of the time they are playing in closed mode, so it is actually difficult for them to hear such a good performance as Fu Tiao.

However, is this just the first phrase?

It is clear!Not!
The link after the end of the first phrase is also perfect, to the extreme!
"hiss!"

One of the judges gasped, the signature pen in his hand couldn't help being squeezed tightly, and he let out a howl of creaking.

"There's something about this timbre interpretation."

"That's right, this work has been played badly, and it can even be regarded as one of Chopin's most famous nocturnes. Before I listened to him play, I really didn't expect that he could interpret something different. feel it?"

"It's actually okay to feel different. How to put it, people who understand similarly to him don't play as well as him, and those who play better than him don't understand at the same level at all."

"Great, very powerful!"

Everyone looked at Fu Tiao in front of them, and it was hard to imagine what he had gone through to be able to play such music with such emotions as euphemism, sadness, expectation, and fear.

I am full of expectations for love, and I want to show my talent for music to the one I like, and tell her about my talent.

However, he was afraid that he was not good enough for her, and felt that he could not give her anything other than playing the piano.

There is light and there is darkness.

There is pride and there is struggle.

All kinds of emotions are integrated in Fu Tiao's performance, spreading from the resonance box, dripping down the stairs, and gradually drowning everyone.

An indescribable sense of suffocation came from everyone's hearts. They seemed to be looking at Fu Tiao in front of him, and the woman he liked was getting further and further away. They both had admiration, but they gradually separated in the end.

This feeling of pain made everyone frown and look sad.

Good is good, but too pathetic, too sad.

Everyone didn't know what to say for a while.

The expressions of several judges were also extremely tangled.

It's not about Fu Tiao's score, but about the music.

Who hasn't had a few sad experiences, and who hasn't had someone they like?

Not everyone can spend a lifetime with the first person they fall in love with, nor can everyone have a perfect enough love.

Fu Tiao's music inexplicably aroused the indescribable youth of the judges, only a few judges did not change their expressions.

The sound of the piano was euphemistic, and all the judges glanced at each other and finally sighed.

"I'll give it 21 or 22 points. It feels like this score, so let's do it."

"In terms of musical expression, he is almost the strongest among those I have seen in the qualifiers. Technically, his level is also very good, but there is a little problem with the selection of songs, and the feeling of Chopin in his performance is not good. Not enough, my suggestion is, 18 points."

"18 points is a bit too low. After all, he is very mature technically, and his musical expression is really good. The biggest problem now is his Chopin. There are still some problems with his Chopin, so I recommend 21 points."

"Why do you all think there is something wrong with him? I think he expressed his own thoughts, and I would personally give him a score of 24."

"No matter how personal it is, it cannot exceed the interpretation of Chopin's works itself. I am willing to give 25 points for my personal style, but he is not enough for Chopin. My side is 22 points."

"In general, the score of 21 points is about the same. I quite like his personal style, but there is a problem that I always feel that he doesn't seem to play like a Chinese, but a bit like an American? Or French? "

"..."

The judges exchanged their suggestions in low voices and discussed with each other the results of Fu Tiao's competition.

Fu Tiao's results in the qualifiers are almost certain. The total score is definitely around 21 points. It may be a little bit higher, but it will not be too much.

After all, on the judges' side, Fu Tiao's advantages and disadvantages are very obvious, the level is sufficient, and Chopin is not enough.

The pros outweigh the cons, and for a high score, that's more than enough.

As the last note of Fu Tiao fell, all the judges also filled in the results of Fu Tiao's qualifiers, handed over the list to the staff next to them, and nodded and smiled slightly at Fu Tiao who got up to call the curtain, as a sign encourage.

Fu Tiao didn't have any special thoughts. After all, when he was on the boat, people applauded and smiled at the end of every performance, so he was used to it for a long time, and he didn't realize the deep meaning of those judges at all.

After bowing three times in a row, he turned and left.

It's just that he didn't expect that a staff member came to him just after he stepped off the stage.

"Contestant Dior Fu, Ms. Marta Argerich entrusted me to consult you. Do you have time tomorrow night? She hopes to meet with you and discuss issues about your work."
