The world's number one pianist

"How is it? My first piano concerto by Tchaikovsky?"

He Shen walked down from his seat, and Zhao Zitong also stood up from the secondary piano on the side, panting.

He Shen's piano performance did not use an orchestra, but a pair of pianos.

Zhao Zitong was responsible for the orchestra, while He Shen was responsible for the overall music.

Although Zhao Zitong's playing was average, He Shen played well!

The overall brilliance of his piano main melody directly covered up Zhao Zitong's mistakes, and even led Zhao Zitong to play many particularly beautiful passages.

It was precisely because of this that He Shen had the confidence to look at the people in front of him and spoke to them.

"Although there is no orchestra, it is only a performance of two pianos, which is not perfect, but what do you think of my performance?"

Under the stage, everyone was silent.

The students of the piano department of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Music, one by one, no one was willing to make eye contact with He Shen.

He Shen did not come here to challenge, he was just reporting the performance normally.

A few months ago, He Shen brought a little girl to the Tchaikovsky Conservatory and found their professor, saying that he wanted to study with him for a while.

This was a very ordinary thing, and no one paid much attention to He Shen.

After all, as the top music conservatory in Xiongguo, there are countless people who come to their professor to study every year.

Among these people, how many can be admitted to the Tchaikovsky Conservatory?

Therefore, no one cared at all.

But soon, just when everyone thought this was just an ordinary episode, they suddenly found something wrong.

This newcomer did not hide in the professor's room and did not dare to study with others.

He went directly to the Tchaikovsky Conservatory to study as an ordinary student!

In addition to him, the little girl next to him also became a student of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory with him.

This is actually not bad. After all, although there are few people who enroll midway every year, there are still some.

Maybe this person is the unlucky guy who came from nowhere and missed the enrollment time before and can only enroll midway?

However, the next scene made them dumbfounded.

The foundation of this person is so good!

They have never seen such a good foundation of students!

It is the kind that if the professor is not here, they can ask him for help with piano problems!

Sometimes, the music he talks about is even better than their professor.

If He Shen did not speak Mandarin and could only speak some ordinary English, they would even think that He Shen might be a top professor of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory!

This is simply invincible!

It's like the feeling of a full-level big account entering the novice village!

Under some coincidences, they even saw He Shen teaching the professor!

He Shen stood in front of the professor and talked about Chopin.

From time to time, he put his hands on the piano for demonstration.

They originally thought that the professor was teaching He Shen.

But after listening carefully, it was completely wrong!

The Chopin played by He Shen was so perfect that they couldn't believe that there was such a Chopin in the Tchaikovsky Conservatory?

The professor also did not answer any of He Shen's questions. On the contrary, he kept asking He Shen questions, asking He Shen about some details in Chopin's music in a very humble manner.

Even though the little girl next to him was not as good as the professor, she was also the top student among them.

Therefore, when the group of students saw this scene, they were all numb.

They couldn't believe that such a powerful person was a student of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Music like them?

How could such a person be a student? Such a person should be a teacher directly, right?

This is too outrageous!

There is another more outrageous...

The Tchaikovsky First Piano Concerto in front of them was played like this. He Shen didn't spend several months to play it like this.

He took less than a week to play Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto to the state in front of them.

And why do they know it so clearly?

Because, they watched He Shen, starting from recognizing the notes of Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto, slowly, slowly, bit by bit, improving his level.

On the first day, there were no mistakes in any details.

On the second day, he began to think about the musicality.

On the third day, he began to sculpt the overall mood.

On the fourth day, he began to integrate everything.

On the fifth day, he simulated an ensemble with the orchestra.

On the sixth day, he began to play, appeared in front of them, and gave a report performance.

They could see everything, without any concealment.

Everyone looked at He Shen, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Obviously, everyone practiced the piano together, why are you so good?

They didn't even say that He Shen came to show off his qualifications!

After all, He Shen didn't come to the Tchaikovsky Conservatory to show off.

He really came here to learn.

He came here to learn the most authentic Russian piano teaching method and Russian piano playing method.

Tchaikovsky Conservatory and St. Petersburg Conservatory are the top music conservatories in China.

The Russian school, one of the three major piano schools in the world, came from this place.

He Shen not only learned the playing method of the Russian school in the Tchaikovsky Conservatory, but also learned the interpretation methods of many Russian composers.

An interpretation method that is not particularly profound.

Under the guidance of the professors of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory, He Shen can clearly feel the thoughts of all Russian composers when interpreting music.

This idea is equivalent to the most reliable way of thinking.

If a pianist's perfect interpretation method has 100 points, if he interprets in this way, he can get a maximum score of 80 points.

Even if it is particularly bad, he can get a passing score of 60 points!

After all, to achieve full marks, you need to combine the composer's own thinking about music and everything he experienced when creating music.

If you use the system that He Shen carries.

The Russian school of music at the end of the romantic period.

Under the guidance of the professor of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory, He Shen almost reached the level of Lv7!

Just practice more and you will soon reach the level of Lv8 or even Lv9.

It is the so-called master level.

He Shen looked at the professor in front of him, with a look of inquiry, waiting for his evaluation of himself.

The master did not look at He Shen, he just looked at the piano next to He Shen, and this particularly large concert hall, and sighed slowly.

"He, if you were a student of our college, it would be great!"

"I am now a student of your college." He Shen did not take it to heart and answered casually.

The professor looked at He Shen with a meaningful look and shook his head slightly: "No, you know that's not what I meant, but it doesn't matter."

"He, your performance is very good. I can't believe that this is the concerto result you can achieve in less than a month!"

"And this is the level achieved without perfect orchestra accompaniment."

"If, if you can play this Tchaikovsky First Piano Concerto with our orchestra, I can't imagine how powerful you can reach!"

"Your foundation is too solid!"

"Your Chopin is the most powerful Chopin among all the young people I have seen. Not only young people, but even many famous masters, their Chopin may not be as strong as yours!"

"And, your Chopin is not pure, with only a few works strong Chopin..."

"I have never seen anyone who can play all of Chopin's works to your current level, This level!"

"It's too terrifying, it's unimaginable!"

"Your other works, such as Brahms, Bach, Beethoven, all have a lot of foundations."

"All of your works have reached a very skilled level, so skilled that I can't find any loopholes at all!"

"What you lack now for these works is probably your personal style."

"And your Russian school works, such as the works of Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, and Streyabin that we have recently learned, you have laid a very solid foundation for these works in a very short period of time."

"With such a solid foundation and such a stable foundation, I have no way to imagine what level you can reach in the future!"

"Especially, this is when you have the Chopin International Piano Competition champion..."

When he said this, the professor's eyes became deeper. He looked at He Shen, and no one knew what he was thinking.

When the other people around heard about the Chopin International Piano Competition champion, they were all stunned and whispered to each other immediately.

"Wait, this guy is the champion of the Chopin International Piano Competition?"

"I haven't heard him say that? If he is the champion of the Chopin International Piano Competition, why doesn't he tell others?"

"Fuck, I've always wanted to compete with the champion of the Chopin International Piano Competition? What am I thinking?"

"No wonder he plays Chopin so well, he is the champion of the Chopin International Piano Competition."

"Let me think about it, I remember the champion of the last Chopin International Piano Competition was named He Shen, it seems that he is really a Chinese?"

"Hmm? Doesn't everything fit? Chinese? Champion of the Chopin International Piano Competition? Chopin who made the professor praise him!"

"This is weird, according to common sense, the champion of the Chopin International Piano Competition should start preparing for music activities around the world, why hasn't he made any moves?"

"Maybe... sedimentation? Sedimentation of the Chopin International Piano Competition?"

"Not sure, does a competition need to settle for so long?"

"Sure enough, this is the difference between us mortals and the gods. We start the next game after one game, but the gods dare to settle down when their reputation is hot! This kind of courage is simply beyond our reach."

"..."

The whispers of the crowd did not affect He Shen and the professor in front of him at all.

He Shen looked at the professor, smiled softly, and shook his head.

"It's just the champion of the Chopin International Piano Competition. This is just a simple ticket, a ticket that allows me to enter the world stage."

"Indeed, this is just a ticket. Many people take this championship too seriously."

The professor shook his head and asked casually, pretending to be casual: "By the way, which agency did you sign with after the Chopin International Piano Competition?"

"DG, Deutsche Grammophon."

He Shen answered directly without any hesitation.

The professor's pupils widened again. He looked at He Shen in disbelief, then sighed and shook his head helplessly.

"Great, really great!"

"According to common sense, when Deutsche Grammophon sent you an invitation, Universal should have also sent you an invitation."

"After all, as the parent company of Deutsche Grammophon, Universal has complete control. Normally, you should sign a contract with Universal, and then Universal will let Deutsche Grammophon promote you and open your own record."

"I didn't expect that you signed a contract with Deutsche Grammophon instead of Universal!"

"Maybe, only people like you would make this choice."

The professor looked at He Shen, and after a moment of silence, he nodded slightly to He Shen and returned the topic to He Shen's previous question.

"He, your performance of Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto has reached a very good level. Now your foundation is very solid. As long as you find your own direction, you can go one step further."

"For you, Tchaikovsky's works do not have many difficulties. You can continue to hone your skills in the future, so that you can understand more."

"I am very much looking forward to the day when you can represent the Russian school of music and stand out!"

After that, the professor stood up and applauded He Shen very hard.

When the other students around saw the professor stand up, they immediately followed the professor and applauded He Shen non-stop, thanking He Shen for his performance.

After all, He Shen's performance was too profound in their minds.

No matter how much they disliked He Shen, they still had to applaud, and there was nothing wrong with the music.

He Shen focused his eyes on the professor who was constantly applauding in front of him, and just bowed slightly, thanking the professor for his encouragement, without saying anything.

After the applause subsided, He Shen turned around and left the stage, walking out of the audience.

And Zhao Zitong immediately followed He Shen closely, fearing that she would get lost.

The reason was simple, her foreign language level was really not good.

The language certificate she submitted when she entered the Berlin University of the Arts was just barely passing the line with a very low score.

This result is definitely not excellent.

Zhao Zitong followed He Shen, turned her head to look at the professor who was teaching other students, pursed her lips, and whispered to He Shen.

"Hey, senior brother, are you just leaving like this? That old man didn't teach you anything special at all!"

He Shen stopped, and Zhao Zitong almost bumped into He Shen.

He Shen looked at Zhao Zitong behind him, was silent for a moment, and said slowly.

"Call me teacher."

"Why? You are no longer my teacher! Besides, you entered the Berlin University of the Arts and you have the same professor as me, but you are a graduate student and I am an undergraduate, so we can be considered as brothers and sisters from the same school! How can I call you teacher?"

Zhao Zitong He Shen said stubbornly.

She was trying hard to emphasize that she was no longer He Shen's student, and kept signaling to He Shen.

She was no longer He Shen's disciple.

The relationship between the two was just an ordinary brother and sister!

It's a pity...

He Shen didn't understand Zhao Zitong's hint at all.

He Shen just frowned and glanced at Zhao Zitong, then turned around and continued to walk away.

He said casually while walking.

"Our professor didn't teach you. I'm responsible for almost all your courses. To be precise, you should call me teacher."

"But if you don't want to call me that, forget it."

"As for the problem you just mentioned, the professor didn't teach me the core things in Tchaikovsky's music. This is actually normal!"

"After all, the stage I'm in now is not the so-called improvement stage."

"The stage I'm in now is just a sedimentation stage, which will settle my overall piano level and allow me to have more time to think and feel everything about music!"

"In this stage, the most important thing is to increase my own thinking about music, my ideas about music, and the breadth of music, rather than blindly elevating it."

"After all, only at this time can I have the opportunity to think carefully about what music means to me..."

He Shen stopped and stood in the garden near the Tchaikovsky Conservatory.

This garden can’t actually be considered the garden of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory. This place is actually a small garden in the city, which is used for entertainment by nearby residents.

Therefore, in this garden, in addition to the students of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory, there are also many old men and women sitting in the sun.

After all, a trend that European countries agree on is...

Good mountains and waters are boring.

The scenery of this place may be really beautiful, and the natural scenery of various places can make people feel very comfortable.

But in fact, if you stay in this place for a long time, you will find it boring.

In addition to being beautiful, this place has nothing else.

He Shen found a place to sit down in the garden, and did not look at Zhao Zitong, but continued.

"During this period of time, I probably gradually understood some things in music, which will be of great help to my future development in the classical music industry!"

"For example..."

He Shen looked at his status bar.

Before, when He Shen first looked at the status bar, all his projects were basically in the state of not getting started.

But now, it is not...

At this moment, there are four major categories developed from the piano branch.

[Baroque period].

[Classical period]

[Romantic period]

[Modern period]

All the works of these periods have reached Lv4 or above.

And the works of the Romantic period have directly reached Lv6!

That is to say, they have directly entered the professional level!

Although the level of Lv4 of works from other periods may be very low, you have to analyze and see it as a whole.

The works in a period are almost like the vast ocean, and they are simply inexhaustible.

Therefore, if you want to improve the level of works of this period, you can only rely on one thing, that is, to watch and practice more, and feel all the impressions left in the music of this era.

This is the most powerful foundation that He Shen has obtained.

No matter what work he plays now, basically as long as the work is in his hands, no matter whether he knows the composer or not.

As long as he gets it, he will have a general understanding of the time when he existed and the country he is in.

If it is a work from the Romantic period, then this work will start directly from the level of Lv6.

In other words, He Shen does not need to start from Lv0 and slowly climb up when practicing all the works of the Romantic period.

He also didn't need to struggle for a long time when he upgraded from Lv5 to Lv6.

You should know that before this, when He Shen upgraded from Lv5 to Lv6, basically every piece took at least a whole month.

The reason why the works of the romantic period can surpass other types of works by two levels.

Especially the level of directly breaking through from Lv4 to Lv6.

The main reason is because of He Shen's Chopin and the memory of Berlioz that was inexplicably unlocked during the subsequent learning process.

Berlioz's memory is not the same as Chopin's, he is completely broken.

He didn't appear in front of He Shen as a whole person like Chopin, and he could chat with He Shen casually.

He was just an ordinary miniature, and his miniature was immediately absorbed by He Shen when He Shen entered the white space.

What He Shen got was that all the works of Berlioz were upgraded to Lv8.

Unfortunately, this Lv8 is not particularly useful for He Shen's piano level.

The biggest use is in symphony!

Berlioz's works are all orchestral music, operas, choruses and the like.

And the biggest use of these things for He Shen is that they allow He Shen to feel more clearly the existence of the symphony orchestra in the piano.

Yes, it is not the existence of the piano in the symphony orchestra, but the existence of the symphony orchestra in the piano.

When the piano plays harmony, it needs a very clear sense of the orchestra.

That is, every note can be regarded as an instrument of the orchestra.

And the ensemble of the piano is the sense of the orchestra of the orchestra ensemble.

This sense of orchestral symphony is very important in playing piano works!

This sense, especially in the late classical period, that is, from the time of Beethoven, appeared more and more frequently in piano works.

You know, Beethoven can be regarded as the pioneer of the works of the romantic period, creating a whole era of music.

Therefore, it is Berlioz's memory of symphony and composition that allows He Shen's romantic period works to go directly from the average level of Lv5 to Lv6!

Many works of the romantic period have been upgraded to a higher level without anyone noticing.

He Shen looked at his romantic period Lv6 mark, and smiled slightly. He turned to look at Zhao Zitong who was standing obediently on the side, and said softly.

"Let's go, we will go back to Berlin later, hand over to Deutsche Grammophon Magazine, and start my first music event after four years of precipitation!"

"After all, I haven't appeared on the stage for a long time!"
