The world's number one pianist

The music ended. After playing Chopin's funeral, He Shen looked at Chopin's tombstone again and said nothing.

He walked directly towards the hotel.

The doubts he had about music in his heart had gradually dissipated, and his thoughts on music had gradually become extremely clear.

After all, he was now at level 10 (Ex). Although he could not perform perfectly and stably, as long as he was in a particularly good state, he could still reach a perfect level.

And at that level, basically that concert would become a concert that could be recorded in history and praised by everyone.

Even the concerts of the world's top bigwigs, such as Argerich, Zimmermann and others, the god-level scenes were not particularly common.

After all, many things require a very, very perfect state, as well as some other things.

The right time, the right place, and the right people!

All three are indispensable.

He Shen took Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting, who looked confused, back to the hotel. After leaving them at the door, he went back to the room and took a short rest.

Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting looked at He Shen's back as he left gracefully, feeling helpless for a moment.

They didn't even know what they came here for today...

It felt like they just reminded He Shen to go to Chopin's former residence and Chopin's museum, and that was it?

The rest of the time, they helped their teacher with chores to prevent others from making trouble.

It felt like they didn't do anything but watch their teacher.

After standing aside and waiting for a while, their teacher, he, inexplicably broke through?

Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting looked at each other, not knowing what they should do now.

But no matter what, the two of them returned to their place together, planning to look for He Shen the next day.

It was not easy to see their teacher, why not go over and stick to him?

At least to enhance the relationship between teacher and student.

As a result, when they arrived at the hotel the next day, they suddenly found out...

He Shen ran away?

He ran away alone before seven in the morning.

The two of them couldn't help showing aggrieved looks on their faces when they listened to the words of the front desk staff.

Are the two of them really so annoying?

Don't they even want to stay with me for a while longer?

He Shen didn't know that Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting would come to see him today. After he went back to the hotel and slept at night, he took the music score and walked directly to the Warsaw Chopin Philharmonic Hall.

When the results of the final round of the competition were announced before, the staff arranged an appointment for him to play with the band later.

Because there were too many contestants and the duration of the works was relatively long, the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra did not give each contestant much time.

Basically, each person had two hours.

And He Shen's band ensemble time was nine o'clock on Friday morning.

The time when the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra just started working.

As a professional band member, they need to come to the orchestra on time when they are working and conduct daily rehearsal training.

Just like going to work.

He Shen saw that the time was not up yet, so he found a place nearby, made some Western breakfast and sat down to wait.

When there were still ten minutes left before the rehearsal, He Shen stood up and walked into the concert hall.

At this moment, in the Warsaw Chopin Philharmonic Hall, everyone in the orchestra was already in their seats, looking at the music score in front of them calmly.

The score above was the music score that He Shen had submitted to the Chopin International Piano Competition Organizing Committee before, Chopin's First Piano Concerto.

The most familiar work of the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra.

As the exclusive orchestra of the Chopin International Piano Competition, the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra is naturally very familiar with Chopin's two piano concertos.

Even if there is no Chopin International Piano Competition, they will invite musicians from all over the world to interpret this work in normal performances.

He Shen walked into the concert hall and went directly to the backstage without waiting for the guidance of the surrounding staff.

He stretched out his hand to push open the door of the music backstage. When he walked to the backstage, the conductor of the band was already standing there.

Andrei Boreko, the current conductor of the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra.

He did not notice He Shen's arrival.

Andre leaned against the wall, holding the music score in his hand, and whispered something to the violinist next to him.

Suddenly, the violinist found He Shen walking towards them and immediately poked Andre's back.

Andre was stunned, turned his head, and found He Shen coming. He immediately patted the violinist's back and signaled him to go on stage first.

After the violinist went on stage, he turned to look at He Shen, smiled and stretched out his hand, and asked in a friendly manner.

"Excuse me, do you need me to speak English, Polish, Xiong Mandarin, or German? I can communicate smoothly in these languages."

"Polish is fine." He Shen said in the Polish that Chopin remembered.

Hearing He Shen's Polish, Andre smiled: "Okay, then my name is Andre Boreko, you can add me Andre! He Shen, is that how you call me in Chinese?"

"Yes, He Shen..."

He Shen stretched out his hand, shook Andre's hand gently, and then quickly let go.

He didn't come here to greet the conductor. The most important thing for him now is to prepare for the next competition.

As a professional conductor, Andre has been conducting for more than 30 years and has won countless awards. Naturally, he also knows the most important thing now.

Just now, his greeting with He Shen was just to tell He Shen that he is a relatively easy-going person and he must not have too much pressure.

After all, it is a concerto, and the most important thing is the cooperation between the two of them.

He Shen controls the piano of the main melody, and he controls the entire orchestra!

Both are indispensable.

When Andre saw He Shen let go of his hand, he immediately understood that He Shen was a relatively straightforward person, and he also said very straightforwardly.

"Okay, He Shen, can you show me your music score? I need to see your music score to confirm your choice of the music score version!"

"The Polish national version, the version compiled by Jan Eckel, and the German Henle version as an auxiliary."

He Shen did not hesitate at all, and directly took out two completely different Chopin First Piano Concerto from the bag behind him.

"The German Henle version is too rigorous and lacks spirituality, so it is only used as a reference."

"So did you choose the Polish National Edition?" Andre took the music score from He Shen with interest and flipped through it casually.

There are many different annotations on the Polish National Edition in He Shen's hand, and all the annotations in various places are included.

However, there are not many annotations on the German Henle version.

It is just a rough outline.

It is obvious that He Shen's main version is the Polish National Edition.

"The Polish national edition compiled by Yang Aikel is very good, and I also use this edition.

He mainly referred to the composer's manuscript, the early French version, the early German version, the early British version, the early Polish version, the Oxford version, the Polish Penderewski version, the French version of Chopin's students, and the version of Chopin's student Mikuli...

Chopin's manuscript and the early version of the White Flag State are important sources of information.

Very good, it seems that we can save a lot of time!"

Andre returned the manuscript in his hand to He Shen, then hugged his arms, looked at He Shen, and smiled.

"In this case, then you start to tell me which part needs attention and which part needs to be modified. Everything is based on your will. After all, it is your concerto!"

"Okay, let's do it directly first and see how your band is." He Shen took the music score, stood opposite Andre, and nodded very seriously.

After that, he walked towards the stage of the concert hall.

And Andre, looking at He Shen's pace, couldn't help but be stunned.

But soon, he reacted, smiled lightly, followed He Shen's buttocks, and walked towards the stage.

The sound on the stage was very noisy, and each instrument was practicing its own part.

The first violinist managed the voice leaders of the four parts of the entire orchestra.

The voice leaders of the four parts managed the first violinists of each instrument.

The first violinist of each instrument managed all the instrument players under them.

When a performer made a mistake in interpreting music, if it was managed by the first violinist, it would probably be an ordinary small mistake.

If the first violinist called you, it would be a big mistake.

When you are called by the first violinist, you should know that your mistake is already very serious.

When you are called by the conductor, especially when you are called...

You should think about whether you'd better change to a new orchestra.

When He Shen came up from the backstage of the concert hall, the originally noisy voices of everyone immediately became quiet after the first violinist gave a signal to the voice leaders of each part.

There were only the footsteps of He Shen and Andre.

He Shen stood in front of the piano, sat down, adjusted his position, and looked at Andre next to him, giving him a look.

Andre understood instantly.

He Shen did not want to express the effect he wanted directly. He wanted to hear the whole performance of the band before deciding how to interpret the music.

Therefore, Andre immediately stood on the podium in the center of the stage, raised the baton in his hand, and glanced at the violinist next to him.

Everyone immediately picked up their instruments and placed them in the prepared position, waiting for the music to start.

After everyone was ready, Andre's hand immediately waved, giving everyone a two-beat preparatory beat in advance.

Then, he waved his hand vigorously.

Buzz!

The violin part suddenly sounded.

The starting sense of the harmony was very strong, and He Shen's eyes could not help but light up slightly.

This band is very good!

It is indeed the world's top classical music band.

It is much better than the Jiangzhou Philharmonic Band that he met in Jiangzhou before.

This conductor also has a very strong control over the music and the orchestra.

The baton in his hand is like an extension of his fingers.

When he asked the orchestra to interpret more strongly, the orchestra followed his interpretation very obediently and gradually strengthened the music.

When he asked the orchestra to weaken the music, the orchestra interpreted it perfectly.

Although this weakening is still a little bit short of the perfect weakening of the Berlin Philharmonic in Karajan's era.

But...

After all, Karajan is the conductor king. Under his leadership, the Berlin Philharmonic almost slaughtered orchestras all over the world.

Now the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra is already very good.

Asking them to be the world's number one is too difficult for them!

He Shen's eyes gradually narrowed, listening to the echo of the band in the concert hall, and he felt something in his heart.

The music is very good.

Unfortunately, it is still a little short of the perfection he wants.

But this little bit, I can make up for it! Use my own skills to lead the band to make up for this perfection.

However, I need everyone in the band to cooperate with me and cooperate with my performance.

At this time, Andre, who was standing in the center of the stage, gave He Shen a look, and He Shen immediately understood.

The music is about to reach his part.

In this case...

He Shen took a deep breath, raised his hand, and waited for the music to proceed.

At the moment when the piano could enter, He Shen's hand pressed down suddenly.

The level of Lv10 appeared in front of everyone in an instant.

He Shen cannot guarantee that he can interpret the perfect level at all times, after all, it requires the right time, right place and right people.

However, He Shen can still interpret the level of Lv10 easily!

The biggest benefit of the perfect level breakthrough to He Shen is that He Shen can easily play the Lv10 work.

When the band stopped and provided a basic accompaniment, He Shen's piano sounded.

At this moment, He Shen's piano sound immediately defeated countless people.

They stared at He Shen blankly and played the work in his hands unconsciously.

He Shen's interpretation is so good!

They have received accompaniment from many contestants in the past few days, and they have a rough idea of ​​what almost every contestant can play.

The more powerful one is a contestant from Spain, Martin.

Among the other contestants, there is a man called Bruce Liu who is quite powerful.

But now, everyone at the scene inexplicably feels that those two people are very good and perfect.

But it seems that they are a little bit away from He Shen.

Unfortunately, they didn't know the exact difference...

But no matter what, the music had to continue.

He Shen followed the orchestra's music and played his own feelings about Chopin's First Piano Concerto.

The music was beautiful, and the Warsaw Orchestra's interpretation of the music was also very, very beautiful.

But everyone didn't relax at all, they all focused their minds extremely.

Pay attention to the interpretation of the music in their own works.

Feel the feeling of the music flowing through everyone's hands.

Soon, the first movement came to an end.

Everyone put down their instruments and looked at each other. It was hard to imagine that the work just now was a work that was completed in one go.

The completeness of the work just now was at least the completeness of other contestants and the second time.

Seeing that the music didn't continue, everyone immediately began to whisper.

"Eh? Do you feel that this contestant is better than the others?"

"Maybe. I heard that this contestant was the first in the first and third rounds, and the second in the second round. He is very strong and his understanding of music is probably much deeper than others?"

"This first ensemble has reached the level of the second ensemble of others. This strength is called much deeper?"

"Not sure. Now I don't know how he wants the band to change and how to modify it according to his ideas..."

"I hope he doesn't ask too much. If he asks too much, I feel that I need to keep looking at the principal and the conductor. There is no way to hide in the corner to memorize the music and slack off."

"Hey, hey, hey, we are all professional musicians after all. Is it really okay to discuss slacking off so blatantly?"

"..."

The chattering of the crowd did not affect Andre, the conductor. He turned his head to look at He Shen, leaned on the piano, and asked He Shen softly.

"How is it?"

"Hmm..."

He Shen rubbed his brows, looked at the people around him, and shook his head slowly: "Let's continue first, and talk about the second and third movements together after they are finished."

"Is it a big problem? Are there many places that need to be changed?"

"It's okay, but..."

He Shen didn't finish speaking, but put his hand on the piano and gave Andre a hint.

Andre shrugged his shoulders slightly bored, turned his head, raised the baton in his hand, and looked at the people around him.

In an instant, the people who were still discussing in a low voice immediately quieted their voices and looked at the conductor.

Andre put his hands on his chest, showing an embracing posture.

This circle, with the breathing of the music, slowly opened and closed, opened and closed.

The music slowly flowed out in the rhythm of his body.

The second movement, as a very soft part, became extremely soft under Andre's leadership.

And He Shen's piano sound also flowed into everyone's hearts like a breeze without them noticing.

This feeling instantly brightened the eyes of the group of people.

He Shen's finger skills are really great. Under his interpretation, the music becomes extremely beautiful, and it can even be said that it is beautiful beyond words!

They all seemed to be able to see the scene depicted by the music in their eyes.

The bodies of the crowd, driven by He Shen's music, could not help but sway slightly.

They unconsciously followed He Shen's ideas and moved closer and closer to He Shen's ideas.

No one felt anything, except Andre.

Andre clearly found that the band was getting out of his control and heading towards an uncontrollable direction.

And this direction...

was firmly controlled by He Shen.

Looking at He Shen, who was interpreting the music very seriously, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Although this is a piano concerto, it naturally needs to be dominated by piano.

But how to say it, he had to admit that He Shen's control and appeal for music were almost the strongest he had ever seen.

In this way, in a subtle way, the band followed his pace and moved forward slowly.

He had not seen many performers of this level.

And basically every performer who could do this was a big boss.

But the man in front of him, the contestant named He Shen?

This contestant is so young, only 25 years old, but he can reach this level?

And this level is obviously not his full strength.

He just played so easily, and he could interpret the music like this with such a calm look.

In the future, it is hard for him to say what level He Shen can reach.

At least, just according to his ideas, He Shen's future development will definitely not be very bad.

Among the top pianists in the world, there is definitely a place for He Shen!

He guaranteed it with his career as a conductor for more than 30 years and his experience of seeing countless cooperating pianists!

Under He Shen's control, the music moved towards the final chapter without Andre's control.

Andre could only temporarily transfer the control of the band to He Shen, allowing He Shen to control the band's progress at will.

He was only responsible for beating the beat and directing everyone's attention to He Shen.

He guided very well, and no one noticed that their conductor had changed from Andre to He Shen.

Until the end of the music, they still thought they were being conducted by Andre.

Their eyes were extremely excited.

They felt that this was the best performance they had given in recent days!

And He Shen put his hands down and moved his eyes from the piano to Andre on the side.

Andre was lying on the piano with a helpless look on his face, and spread his hands to He Shen.

"It's over, how do you feel? Do you need to do it again?"

He Shen ignored his helplessness, but said very seriously: "Let's go, get off the stage first, I want to talk to you."
