The world's number one pianist

He Shen stepped out and walked out of the backstage.

Standing in front of everyone, he bowed slightly amid the applause of countless people.

Without any expression, he turned around and sat on the piano.

He didn't care about the people in the audience at all!

Most of the countless people under this stage came with their own intentions.

They wanted to see how well He Shen, a top pianist famous for Chopin, played Beethoven.

Was he similar to other pianists, and could make do with Beethoven, but was not good enough.

Or was he a Beethoven expert?

Or was his Beethoven, like Gould's Mozart, simply blasphemous?

These people were very curious.

After all, this was a concert that lasted a whole day!

For the audience under the stage, this concert was very difficult.

For He Shen on the stage, the same was true!

The applause was thunderous.

It lasted until the moment He Shen sat on the piano stool and raised his head.

Click!

The concert hall was extremely quiet.

The lights were turned off!

There was no natural light in the entire concert hall, so it was extremely dark.

There was only a small spotlight in the middle, shining on He Shen.

He Shen raised his head and looked at the spotlight above his head without saying a word.

Feeling the tranquility around him.

He was extremely quiet, as if he was asleep.

The air around him also became extremely quiet with He Shen's silence.

Everyone looked at He Shen, waiting for He Shen to play.

Emotions were slowly rising.

He Shen's eyes also slowly opened!

He opened his eyes and placed them on his piano keyboard. After taking a deep breath, he raised his hand and stopped in mid-air.

It was just a momentary pause, just giving the fingers a very simple pause, interrupting the inertial movement of the fingers.

The fingers fell suddenly.

It landed on the piano very lightly.

Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 1, F minor, first movement!

Refined! But with a hint of dark thoughts!

It's not about murdering someone, but gloomy and thoughtful.

This is a sonata dedicated to Haydn.

The first work Beethoven wrote was dedicated to his teacher.

The overall mood is extremely pessimistic!

He seemed to have felt the difference between himself, Haydn, and Mozart very early!

The beginning was so light, but you can clearly hear the sadness from this lightness.

This is the overall foreshadowing!

From the first to the thirty-second foreshadowing!

It is obviously dedicated to Haydn and Mozart, but there is no sound like the works played by Haydn and Mozart!

Full of strong drama!

You can even hear Beethoven's frowning face from it.

Simple, extremely simple!

Simple texture, concise and compact form and typical Beethoven technique!

Extremely delicate!

Simple technique, almost reaching the highest limit!

The main motive supports this work, the most powerful dominant force!

The whole movement is full of solemnity, passion and excitement!

Powerful and extremely resolute determination!

This kind of expressiveness is almost invisible in the works of Mozart and Haydn!

This means that Beethoven has already determined his future style in the first work!

After him, a powerful and fearless style!

The feeling of music quickly passed through everyone!

No matter who they are, their expressions are frozen!

People who rarely listen to classical music, but those who come for He Shen, have the softest expressions!

They couldn't help but be stunned when listening to He Shen's performance, and the whole person was immersed in He Shen's understanding of music, unable to extricate themselves!

A smile appeared at the corner of their mouth.

They have never felt like this today, feeling that classical music is so beautiful!

Those who often listen to music can't help but be stunned.

They listen to classical music a lot, and they have heard a lot of god-level live performances.

For example, Barenboim's interpretation of Beethoven is very beautiful!

It's not that everyone hasn't heard those god-level live performances of those great gods from records.

But like today, it's the first time to hear it live and feel the soul of music up close!

The feeling of He Shen's performance touched them a little!

And those who are professional music critics and those who are responsible for writing manuscripts in professional classical music companies, when they look at He Shen's interpretation of music, their expressions are also stiff.

They feel that they think too simply!

In their minds, He Shen's performance of Chopin four years ago was very good. He should have been playing Chopin non-stop in the past four years. Why would he want to play all 32 piano sonatas of Beethoven?

How is this possible?

He Shen's performance must be average, definitely not a particularly strong level!

But seeing this scene on the scene now, they were silent.

He Shen's interpretation of music is too strong!

It was so powerful that they couldn't believe it.

How could someone practice all 32 piano sonatas of Beethoven to such a master level in four years!

And this kind of master is different from Lang Liangyue's master!

Lang Liangyue's master is based on his own style.

For example, no matter I play Beethoven, Chopin, or Rachmaninoff, I play all these works with the same flavor without any changes.

Therefore, I only need to play this piece well, play out a similar feeling, and then integrate my understanding of music.

In this way, it is not particularly difficult for them to practice a master-level work.

It can even be said that all the works they play are master-level performances!

But He Shen is different!

This is what these top music critics and music company leaders are most shocked about!

He Shen's direction is not to interpret his own music desperately, but to interpret music as much as possible with Beethoven's ideas!

In these few years, He Shen has grown to this level?

To a level that they can hardly believe?

This kind of strength...

These top music critics had no expression on their faces. They were restraining themselves, staring at He Shen carefully, waiting for He Shen's performance.

Since He Shen is willing to take out all Beethoven's sonatas, let's take a look!

With He Shen's current strength, can he play all Beethoven's sonatas with such an attitude!

If he can, then it's obvious!

This video will definitely go down in history.

The one who interprets all sonatas in the most perfect state!

If He Shen can have any little bit of a stronger breakthrough...

Everyone looked at each other, then couldn't help but smile at each other and shook their heads slowly.

How is this possible?

More than ten hours!

A whole day!

This is not just sitting there playing with your phone, swiping your phone all day!

This is a performance!

Performance! Interpretation!

Competing in a way that is almost like an athlete for a whole day!

Under this situation, you can still play better and better?

Then this is not as simple as going down in history!

This is definitely the greatest concert ever!

It is no longer an ordinary Beethoven music concert that will enter the history books.

Instead, it will be remembered by everyone as the strongest concert!

Therefore, they did not think much, just glanced at each other casually, and then set their sights on He Shen.

They wanted to see He Shen's limit!

Is it just a beginning, or is the beginning just a beginning!

He Shen did not know what these people were thinking, he was just playing seriously and interpreting seriously.

Interpreting the music, interpreting the meaning of music to him and to Beethoven!

This is Beethoven's music, but this is the music he played!

Therefore, he must use his own way and do his best to interpret the Beethoven he wants to express!

One, the Beethoven he saw from his memory!

Music, flowing quickly.

The originally light music, the sense of sadness in it, is getting more and more serious.

The extremely strong passion and talent are fully displayed in this place!

This is not found in Haydn or Mozart's works!

This is the most powerful finale!

Full of bold and enterprising thinking!

Some people can even feel the taste of the little passion sonata in it!

Gu 獡

But all this seems to have been destined.

It feels like it will burn itself at the most brilliant moment.

Dedicate everything to music!

Let music be eternal!

Finally!

With the final roar of the music, the first Beethoven sonata ended completely.

This piece is not particularly long, but it has a very good beginning!

A beginning that is very recognized by both insiders and outsiders.

Everyone watched He Shen's performance and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Even if there were no other 31 piano sonatas behind, this sonata could be regarded as a classic work!

He Shen slowly let out a long breath, stood up, bowed slightly to everyone, and walked off the stage.

He wanted to take a short break.

When He Shen left, the staff's broadcast sounded immediately.

"Because this concert will last for more than eleven hours, the specific time of this concert will be announced at the door. You can choose any session you want to watch!"

"No one is allowed to enter or leave except for the intermission between sonatas!"

"I hope you can cooperate in a friendly manner!"

"..."

The recording was repeated three or four times, and no one was surprised at all!

Not all the people present are music critics or enthusiasts of classical music!

Everyone's time is precious!

Many people like those well-known works.

For example, Beethoven's Appassionata Sonata, Hammerklavier Sonata, Tempest Sonata and so on.

They like to listen to these works.

For them, the first opening piece is just a performance that only feels good.

Since the time at the door has been announced, they can wait for a fixed time to enter the concert hall.

In this way, they can get a friendly break while enjoying their favorite music!

Therefore, some people got up and went out without any hesitation.

The people in the concert hall instantly shrunk by half!

But these have nothing to do with He Shen, he doesn't care about these audiences.

His concert in Berlin was not entirely for these ordinary audiences, but more importantly for his subsequent recordings!

He wanted to try this record, a record about Beethoven.

Can he reach the height he wants?

He Shen rubbed his hands for a while and walked behind the door.

The staff immediately closed the door in time to block the audience's sight.

Zhang Wei had already handed over a bunch of lollipops and said to He Shen with a smile.

"Teacher He, come on, choose whatever you want! Zhao Zitong told me before that you like to eat a lollipop every time you play! I specially brought a lot this time! There are also the latest mustard and coriander flavors!"

He Shen glanced at Zhang Wei inexplicably, took out a lollipop from the lining pocket of his suit, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"No, I have some myself, garlic, coconut milk and aloe vera juice!"

He Shen felt the sweetness conveyed by the lollipop in his mouth, reached out and picked up the water glass placed on the table by the staff next to him, took a sip, and placed it on the table.

He Shen sat backstage, rested for a minute or two, and then stood up when he felt better.

The staff immediately understood and stood up to open the back door of the stage!

He Shen tidied up his clothes and walked into the concert hall stage again.

This time, the applause was much quieter than before.

Many people left temporarily and went out to rest for a while before coming back in.

Or come back later in the evening.

He Shen stood in front of the stage, looking at the missing space. He didn't care. He just smiled slightly, bowed slightly to everyone, and returned to his seat.

The whole person seemed extremely indifferent.

He didn't care about those people.

He just raised his head slightly as before, thinking about the music.

Feel the vibration of music in your soul.

Thinking about how to interpret Beethoven's Second Piano Sonata.

This sonata is similar in form to the First Sonata.

It's just that this sonata is closer to classical symphony music than the First Piano Sonata.

Beethoven extracted a lot of drama, making the second sonata less dramatic than the first movement.

He Shen thought for a moment and quickly lowered his hand.

The music started immediately.

There is still no difference from before!

The overall quality is very strong, so strong that no one can find any major problems.

Everything that should be expressed in music, the form, are all expressed very clearly.

He Shen's interpretation of harmony is also extremely outstanding.

Especially some off-key things.

He Shen will be shown clearly why Beethoven chose to leave the tune.

Put it clearly in front of you and show it to everyone!

The expressions of those music critics brightened even more!

"Yes, He Shen's interpretation of the second movement is really amazing!" A music critic was suddenly moved and whispered to the people around him.

“I didn’t really feel much before, but in this second sonata, I feel even more deeply!”

"The Second Sonata doesn't have many special features. It shows Beethoven's thoughts on music as a teenager as a whole!"

"The overall mood is relatively clear and lively, and the music is full of sincerity, without too many compromises!"

"So, you can very clearly feel the effort He Shen put into this piece!"

"Because this piece of work is so difficult to excel in!"

"There are not many special features. Although it is the first time that the scherzo is used as a part of the musical sonata, it is not enough!"

“The recognition of this piece is not as high as other works!”

"Therefore, in He Shen's music, you can very clearly feel He Shen's genius idea about music!"

"This piece should be a place for performers with their own personal style to shine!"

"But when you are in this place, you can feel how special it is!"

"That kind of specialness is not He Shen's own style, but He Shen's specialness when he interprets music!"

"This special feeling is really..."

"Shocking!"

The music critic looked at He Shen and didn't know what to say.

He had heard countless musicians interpret this piece.

This song does not have any special characteristics, so there are not many people whose works are particularly distinctive.

And those people are all performers with their own personal style like Lang Liangyue.

Everyone likes to listen to their works, which is actually normal!

But how deep?

He Shen is not that kind of person!

He Shen's personal style lies in his extremely precise interpretation of the creator!

This particularly precise interpretation is a particularly important feature that makes He Shen stand out among countless pianists!

Without this feature, why should others listen to your music?

Now, they heard it!

I heard He Shen’s characteristics!

I heard He Shen’s interpretation of Beethoven’s Second Piano Sonata!

This kind of strength is so terrifying that they can hardly imagine it!

It is hard for them to imagine that someone can break the Beethoven style characteristics of other people in their minds with extremely accurate Beethoven.

All I can say is...

Horrible!

This music critic who pays attention to personal style looks at He Shen with shock in his eyes.

He looks at He Shen and really doesn't know what to say.

He has now begun to prepare the manuscript and start thinking about how to blow He Shen in the future.

And...

If the video of He Shen's concert comes out later, what kind of score will he give to this album!

But if he can maintain this state in the future...

"I should give full marks, right?"

The music critic said to himself uncertainly.

He didn't know what he was thinking, just sitting there blankly, listening to He Shen's interpretation of music.

At this moment, in the concert hall, hundreds of music critics have already fallen in love with the second song.

So what's next?

Those who come next...

When will they fall?

Another music critic, looking at the fallen music critic, had a bad feeling in his heart.

He looked at He Shen, looking at the fallen music critic.

Listening to the music in his ears.

He felt that he was going to fall too!

Now, it's only the second song!

There are still thirty works waiting for them!

There are nearly ten hours of music interpretation!

He Shen's expression did not change at all. He looked at the black and white keyboard in his hand, very seriously!

The Long March has only taken the first step!

There are still countless steps to go!

And, there is a more important point!

A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step!

He must control the distribution of his own spirit and his emotions, and not release too much!

After all, this is just the beginning!
