The world's number one pianist

He Shen looked at Dan Yi who was sitting on the side, nodded slightly at him, and spoke.

"Teacher Dan, it's almost done!"

"Almost done?"

Dan Yi was looking at He Shen, and was stunned for a moment, unable to react.

He Shen sat there without any need for him to point out anything, and he could clearly know where his mistakes were and where he should go.

This went on for so long that Dan Yi almost forgot that he was a teacher.

If He Shen didn't speak, Dan Yi would almost think he was here for a trip.

In He Shen's several competitions, he didn't need much help from him at all!

Playing enough means that he needs to arrange the order of the performance of the works according to his own experience.

Occasionally, he may need to analyze the situation of some opponents and find works that can target the opponents.

For example, if the opponent may have a weaker scale run, then during the competition, we will add a little more works with more scale runs to target that contestant, so that the judges can notice that the contestant's scale run is weaker.

These things are actually not very useful in the early stage, because many times, you don’t even know who the contestants in your competition might be.

Therefore, Dan Yi really felt that he had nothing to do these days, and he was so idle that he couldn’t be any more idle.

Every morning, he got up and watched He Shen practice the piano, then waited for the competition to start and went to listen to the competition, and waited for the competition to end and continued to watch He Shen play the piano.

It’s interesting to say that he had seen He Shen’s two apprentices near the concert hall before. The two stood at the door of the concert hall and chattered about something.

Of course, Dan Yi just saw it and didn’t disturb them. After all, he came here to listen to the competition and listen to the personal styles and weaknesses of other contestants.

Apart from that, there was nothing else to do!

Now, he was shocked by He Shen’s sudden opening, and he couldn’t help but feel confused.

Then, he immediately understood what He Shen meant.

He Shen has now reached a bottleneck, and he is only one step away from breaking the bottleneck!

And this bottleneck is probably what He Shen said, from specialization to master level!

This talent?

Dan Yi's eyes widened. He calculated the time and felt that it had not been long since He Shen needed his help last time. Before that, when He Shen was at Haicheng Conservatory of Music, practicing the piano every day to strengthen his foundation and accumulate strength to break through the barrier, it seemed that it was only...

One or two months?

Unexpectedly, after such a short time, He Shen had already accumulated enough strength and could punch at any time to hit the barrier and break it.

And the last condition for He Shen to break it was... the perspective of other people thinking about music.

Dan Yi's mouth slightly raised. Now, it was finally his turn to take action again!

Although he had not played Chopin for a long time, he was still good at what should exist in Chopin's music.

In particular, he, like He Shen, was moving towards playing more Chopin-like.

Dan Yi nodded slightly and asked, "Work, which one?"

"Mazurka!"

He Shen took out the music score in front of him, handed it to Dan Yi, and pointed to the content on it and said.

"Chopin's four Mazurkas, Opus No. 24, Serial No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, these four works."

"12 minutes, the actual playing time, I plan to control it to about 14 minutes, and my prelude, the overall time is 35 minutes, my time has reached 50 minutes, the time, just enough!"

These three Mazurkas are the works that He Shen plans to use in the third round of performance.

This was a joint decision by them, Dan Yi was a little surprised, He Shen's Mazurka should be the work that He Shen is least good at playing Chopin's works, and he didn't expect that he could achieve such results in these two works!

Dan Yi stood up, took the Mazurka in He Shen's hand, touched his chin, and paced in the piano room while looking at the music score. After a while, he asked He Shen.

"Tell me first, tell me how you understand these three Chopin Mazurkas?"

"Exotic and innovative!"

He Shen nodded, leaned on the piano, turned around and looked at the large French window of the piano room, looked at the scenery outside the piano room, and slowly spoke.

"These works are all full of the creator's innovation in music, that is, Chopin's innovation in understanding Mazurka!"

"Mazurka is no longer an ordinary musical genre. In his hands, it has begun to change. He has a new understanding of Mazurka!"

"And this point, we can see from his exotic point."

"I don't know if this is called exotic, or something else, I just feel that this is not ordinary, from Poland Music!"

"So, I need to play a kind of music that is full of exotic and novel feelings, and I need that kind of... crackling feeling!"

"Crackling?" Dan Yi was stunned for a moment, and then instantly understood He Shen's thoughts. He couldn't help frowning and thinking. After a long time, he slowly said to He Shen.

"Okay, you continue first, and then what? What to do next?"

"Then this happened..."

He Shen turned to face the piano, put his hand on the piano, and played a short passage at random.

The sound is very clear and the timbre is very beautiful. Just by listening casually, you can hear the interpretation of music.

It also feels very fried and has a sense of freshness.

but……

Still missing the slightest bit!

Everything is fine, but there is still a slight difference, and as soon as you find this slight flaw, the feeling of the music will be different in an instant!

But Yi immediately understood why He Shen came to find him at this time.

He Shen has already achieved everything he can to the greatest extent!

All the feelings he wanted, all his understanding of music!

Everything was done to the perfection of his ideas.

However, there is just a tiny bit missing, just a tiny bit missing. He only needs to catch this last bit and he can break through.

It's a pity that He Shen was not found.

He Shen looked at Dan Yi and spoke to him.

"So, how should I interpret this place? I am just missing my last breath!"

"..."

But Yi didn't speak, but picked up the pen from one side, looked at the content on it, and thought slowly.

After a while, Dan Yi spoke to He Shen.

"No, there's a problem!"

"Have a question?"

"Well, there is a question. Although the interpretation of this place has an exotic feel, look at the harmony of this place! Look at the harmony of this place. Do you see anything?"

He Shen came closer and looked at the music score in front of Dan Yi, especially the place where Dan Yi made the mark. After thinking for a moment, he said with a slight hesitation.

"E flat major, augmented third chord? There are also some rare other scales? But the overall harmonic trend is still the traditional harmonic trend."

"Yes! The augmented third is used here! In order to emphasize the sense of exotic harmony in the musical scale, the augmented third interval was specially chosen!"

"What this place should actually interpret is a local flavor, not an exotic flavor!"

"What is that of yours, Pika? That's what it's called. The feeling of Pika may be right, but the overall direction is a little bit off."

"This is a mazurka in G minor, adagio. The second movement moves from G minor to E flat major, from the first to the sixth. This place is very interesting."

"The overall strange feeling, combined with all this, have you thought of anything?"

Dan Yi looked at He Shen. He Shen frowned, groped his chin, and stared at the music score in front of him. After a while, he slowly shook his head.

"However, all this does not make sense. This piece was presented to the Countess of Bell. If it is played with local characteristics..."

"The height of a noble!"

Dan Yi shook his head and interrupted He Shen.

He quickly flipped through a few pages of the music score and turned to the second piece at the back, which was the Mazurka in C major, Op. 24 - this Mazurka piece. He pointed at the piece and spoke.

"What do you see in this piece? You have to know that Chopard's mazurkas were created in a complete set, and the whole is basically in the same atmosphere."

"So, we can't take the whole thing apart at all, we can try to think about it all together."

"What is this place? This place is in the Lydian mode. The first section starts from the C major key and goes to the fourth F major key. However, it does not play like an F major key. Instead, it plays like a Lydian key. The feeling of style!”

"Then, when we came to the second section, we went to D flat major, E flat minor, still the sixth degree of Lydia in F major, and then started to move to fifth degree five, and finally returned to C major."

"Music is changing, constantly changing, from commonly used natural modes to medieval modes, with Western European-style interpretations in between."

"The third piece, the Mazurka in A flat major, is still in three sections, and the whole piece still has the characteristics of a relatively small place, especially the decoration at the end, which is particularly charming."

"The last piece is a mazurka in B-flat minor, medium plate, complex trilogy, the first section is in D-flat major, the second section is in B-flat minor, the third section is in D-flat major and changes to B-flat minor, and this section , can be regarded as the essence of Op24!”

"The purest, country style! Many of the previous ones were still a little confusing, thinking that they could swing between country style and exotic style."

"However, when the fourth piece came out, the music completely came to an end and took shape as a whole. This is a pure country feeling."

"So, you can continue to interpret the extremely pure exotic style at the top, but at the bottom, you must interpret the local culture!"

"It's not that the two cannot be integrated. You can think about it. This is my idea. You can learn from it and think about it."

But Yi completely ignored the meaning behind this piece. He simply took it apart and showed the harmonies in the piece to He Shen.

Tell He Shen why he thinks so.

When a player reaches He Shen's level, there is no absolutely correct answer. One hundred people have one hundred Hamlets.

Everyone's interpretation of master-level performance is different.

Even if they all interpreted in the direction of Chopin, they were all different.

That's why Dan Yi was just a suggestion, not an order.

Even before, Mr. Zhou Renguang Zhou only gave He Shen a few words, not an order.

He Shen looked at the music score in front of him and fell into deep thought.

The music began to collide in his mind, and he was thinking about the feasibility of the music.

His fingers ran on the piano from time to time, playing some very special timbres.

And these timbres were quickly rejected by He Shen, looking for more suitable timbres.

The music was constantly getting higher, and the overall framework was being re-optimized.

As time passed, He Shen's eyes gradually brightened.

He began to feel the feeling of music in his body.

That extremely pure feeling.

He Shen closed his eyes, let his mind empty, and no longer thought about the foreign and local in the music.

He could already feel the feeling of the local in his music.

So now, the next step is to let the two develop freely.

He Shen's hands played slowly on the piano, not very fast.

It can even be said to be extremely slow.

He Shen felt every bit of the music at a very, very slow speed, and felt the most suitable development direction of music in his imagination.

The foreign land and the native land, in He Shen's thinking, gradually merged and were no longer ordinary and independent.

The feeling of music became more and more beautiful under He Shen's hands.

Dan Yi stood aside, looking at He Shen, with a smile on his face.

Now, it's time for He Shen to show his own performance.

It's not right for him to be here now.

Dan Yi laughed dumbly, stood up, pushed open the door of the piano room, and walked outside.

At this moment, the people outside were surrounding Rao Hao and encouraging him.

When everyone saw Dan Yi coming out of the piano room, they couldn't help but be stunned, and then they saluted Dan Yi slightly.

"Teacher Dan Yi, why... did you come out? Teacher He?"

Sun Tong looked at Dan Yi and couldn't help but ask.

Dan Yi looked at Sun Tong, shook his head slightly, pointed behind him, and said casually.

"He Shen is in a very special time now. He is looking for a way to break through."

"If he succeeds in breaking through, then he will have no opponent in this game!"

"After all, not everyone can show the strength of a master in the third round!"

Dan Yi walked to the middle of the crowd, found a seat and sat down, just looking at the piano room where He Shen was, without saying a word.

Everyone looked at Dan Yi, not knowing what Dan Yi was thinking, but since Dan Yi had come and sat down, and was still sitting here without saying a word, they couldn't say anything.

They could only follow Dan Yi honestly and look at the piano room.

For a while, the whole piano shop seemed extremely quiet, and only He Shen's piano sound came to everyone through the gap in the door.

Originally, everyone just thought that He Shen played well, and that was probably it.

But soon, their faces began to change.

He Shen's playing style is changing in an extremely subtle direction.

It was still the feeling of Chopin, still exactly the same as He Shen's before, extremely pure, Chopin's feeling.

But the core of it was slowly changing.

Changing... more and more beautiful?

Music is beautiful, and it is because music is beautiful that pianists need to interpret this beauty.

Music without beauty is not music!

The emotions in He Shen's music are still changing, but the beauty in the music is getting more and more sufficient.

It's the kind of feeling that makes people feel a little bit intoxicated just by listening to it.

The feeling that this music is so beautiful as soon as you listen to it gradually flows out in He Shen's hands.

Finally, I don't know at some point, when everyone didn't notice.

The music changed...

The beauty in the music, unconsciously, became as dazzling as the sun.

Everyone had no feeling at all, as if it should be so.

And when all of He Shen's works were finished, everyone reacted.

They were actually fascinated by He Shen practicing the piano just now.

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.

Is this the great player who ranked fourth in the preliminaries, first in the first round, second in the second round, and second in the overall score in the Chopin International Piano Competition, and who rose to the top against the odds?

This strength...

This is just an ordinary Mazurka, but he can play it like this!

And!

The players who had heard He Shen's Mazurka in the last round suddenly woke up.

In the last round, He Shen's Mazurka was definitely not as good as it is now!

So that means...

Their faces changed, and they looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Could it be that He Shen... was letting the game go in the last round?

Or...

Everyone immediately shook their heads and threw that terrible thought behind them.

They would rather believe that He Shen let the game go in the last round, deliberately restraining himself a little bit, giving the players behind him a chance, a chance for them to compete head-on with him.

They were also unwilling to believe that He Shen could make another breakthrough in such a short time and under such great pressure.

Others can finish playing seriously and play at their original level, which is very, very good.

But you, He Shen, broke through in the middle of the competition? What does this mean?

The competition is a catalyst, and you can't break through without the competition?

People are all compared.

They looked at the breakthrough He Shen made now, and thought about themselves, and immediately wanted to slap themselves.

Why do you want to compare with He Shen?

Isn't this obviously a blow to your self-confidence? How can you play the piano in the future?

Every time you make a little breakthrough in playing the piano, you will suddenly think of He Shen.

Oh, if it was He Shen, he would have made this piece perfect long ago.

Are you still going to play it? This self-confidence is directly exploded!

Thinking of this, everyone's face became even worse.

Just as everyone was in a state of self-doubt, He Shen pushed open the door of the piano room and looked at Dan Yi sitting opposite the piano room, and a group of strangers. Nodding slightly to Dan Yi, he said softly.

"Breakthrough."

In the corner of He Shen's sight, a line of tiny handwriting was slowly disappearing.

And what was written on it was...

[Congratulations to the host, Chopin Mazurka Op24, No. 1-No. 4, advanced, now upgraded from Lv8 (specialization) to Lv9 (master)]
