Chapter 81 I'm Just a Porter!

The second floor of the auditorium.

If you don't look up, it's hard to see how many people are sitting here.

Among these people, in addition to Yu Weiliang, the dean of the Central Music Institute, and Li Honglian, a professor of the piano department, Fang Shimin and Zhu Yikai, the principal and deputy directors of the piano department.

The four sitting here are all music majors in our school, and they are also well-known figures in the Chinese and even international music circles. Fang Shimin is a 94-level piano department. After graduation, he has stayed at the school to teach until now. She graduated from the Piano Department of the 97th grade, and received a master's degree in art management from the 00th Grade Musicology Department. In 02, she received a Ph.D.

These people sitting here today are all invited by Dean Yu Weiliang to watch Li Zhifan's game.

When he played the first etude, several people were dumbfounded, especially Fang Shimin, who has stayed in school for many years and taught many years. He has seen many young pianists of all kinds, and he has taught countless students. There are also many "Hurricane Etudes", but there are very few players like Li Zhifan who are so proficient in playing, and he is the only one in his age group.

Those few people are now in their thirties, and they are already world-renowned young pianists.

Based on age, Li Zhifan is probably the only one under thirty.

The second "Spring Sonata", compared with others' mediocre, has a bit more artistic conception, and added my own understanding, which makes this piece a bit more exciting.

Li Honglian had seen Li Zhifan play the piano in the preliminaries before, and if measured by technique, the playing in the two assessments was actually at the same level, which she could have expected, so the surprise didn't increase much, but it was able to maintain it. It is commendable, and there is no need to ask too much.

Yu Weiliang, who had already watched Li Zhifan's video, was even more smiling at this time, especially when he saw the foreign judges standing up and applauding, he couldn't help but proudly said: "Everyone, how are you? Can you consider my proposal now?"

"I don't think it's a problem. We should introduce such talents. If other colleges take the lead, it will be our loss!"

Zhu Yikai has always advocated the strength of the teachers in the piano department based on ability rather than age, and the appearance of Li Zhifan hit his mind.

When Zhu Yikai was the assistant to the head of the piano department, he was not yet 30 years old and had just received a doctorate. Although Li Zhifan was only superior in technology, he did not have many titles and diplomas, and he was not even a music major. For me, it's not a problem at all. With this technology, why worry about those false names?
"I agree!"

Li Honglian said: "I listened to Li Zhifan's playing during the preliminary competition, and I had this idea. With his qualifications, he can come in first and become a teaching assistant, and gradually become a lecturer!"

Fang Shimin also nodded: "I have no objection, but let's listen to his self-selected repertoire first! I'm curious how he will choose."

On the stage.

Li Zhifan sat firmly in front of the piano.

The repertoire he chose is the famous song "Bell" by Liszt, the Hungarian piano king in different time and space!
This is a piano fantasia written by Liszt using the theme of the third movement "Echo of the Bells" of the Italian violinist and composer Paganini's "Violin Concerto in B Minor", which later became the "Six Pagues". The third piece of "Nini's Great Etudes".

Li Zhifan played the first four bars with both hands. From the fifth bar, the pleasant melody began to appear. The processing of this part is very concise, and the real skill is not here.

After a concise prelude, the theme of "The Bell" soon appeared in the climax area. The crisp and melodious timbre and overtone playing in the high-pitched area of ​​the piano formed a short and powerful sound, forming a series of vivid and lifelike chimes of small bells.

After playing for less than a minute, many players in the audience stood up. They were not spectators, but Li Zhifan played this song "The Bell", and besides enjoying it, he wanted to explore his technique and fingering—this How did it pop up?

The six judges also stood up, and Zimmerman was the first to step forward, standing behind Li Zhifan, staring at his fingers without blinking, but despite his decades of rich experience, he could only See a rough idea.

After playing for a minute and a half, the other five teachers also came up and stood behind Li Zhifan, which blocked the view of the players in the audience. Together with Yu Weiliang on the second floor, they also stood up due to the blocked view.

For the next theme, Li Zhifan continued to use the timbre characteristics of the high-pitched range of the piano to play bells of different rhythms. The alternate variations of these two themes formed a brilliant and magnificent passage of great difficulty.

The six teachers looked a little dizzy, the ring fingers on the same sound, the long series of chromatic progressions, the vibrato with the melody part in one hand, the continuous octave progression, the long-distance octave jump of the left hand... so many of them Playing skills that I dare not even think about, were actually used together by a young man?
This is no longer unbelievable, but shocking!

They have been in the field of piano performance for decades, and they have never seen such a difficult performance, nor have they heard such a terrifying piano piece. It also includes the theme and characteristics of dance music. What is the name of this song?Who created it?

Whether it is the creator of the music or Li Zhifan who played it, they all want to bow down and worship.

It's just that they don't know that "The Bell" is just one of Liszt's etudes. Before composing "The Bell", this showman has already composed "Twelve Super Skill Etudes", and later composed a lot of His "Fantasia" and "Symphony" are all top works of the virtuoso school.

The etude "Bell" uses variations to fully display the gorgeous performance skills and the effect of bells. The basic structure of the whole piece is three-stage, because each stage changes and repeats many times, and there are variations and rondos. features.

Coincidentally, there is also a violin concerto in this world, the full name is "The Bell Concerto", but it is completely different from the "B Minor Violin Concerto" in different time and space. This is an excuse. Once asked about the motivation for creation, he said that he was inspired by this concerto, so he created such an etude with the theme of "The Bell".

What?You say Li Zhifan is shameless?

haha, yes!
Anyway, "100 Piano Pieces" still has a lot to prove, let the people of this world applaud for him... no, for Liszt, Beethoven, Mozart and other masters for their astonishing talents!

Li Zhifan: I don't produce piano music, I'm just a porter of piano music in different time and space!
