Qin Jian: "Uncle, what is the name of your piano? I don't seem to have seen your piano standard." ”

Old bartender: "I haven't figured it out yet, what do you think of the 'Daniel brothers'? like 'Steinway & Sons' and 'Pelov's apprentice." ”

Qin Jian: "I don't know what to say." ”

Old bartender: "How's it going, join the Daniel brothers?"

Qin Jian: "What about Sister Lin Jun?"

Old bartender: "Don't be a mother-in-law, she's our string designer." ”

Qin Jian: "Okay then"

That's it.

Qin Jian inexplicably became the spokesperson of the old bartender's scheduled piano.

Perhaps because of becoming a spare tire spokesperson, Qin Jian's life back in the town seems to have changed a little.

Within a few days, almost everyone in the town now knew that the old bartender's eldest nephew was a true pianist.

Qin Jian has become a celebrity in the town, a real celebrity.

This change made Qin Jian a little uncomfortable.

Of course, there are other reasons for this.

...

On the evening after the concert, Bergen TV gave an exclusive interview with the conductor of the Helsinki Symphony Orchestra, Ms. Sabina.

In the column, Sabina said before and after about the temporary change of roles of 'La San'.

Of course, there were some questions about the backstage "dispute", and finally when the reporter asked about the specific situation of the young Chinese performer, Sabina praised him without the slightest reservation.

Sabina: "There's an oriental aesthetic in his music. ”

Reporter: "Are you looking forward to working with him again?"

Sabina: "Of course. ”

For a time, with the popularity of the Bergen International Classical Music Festival, Qin Jiande has almost become the hottest name in the Bergen classical music circle in recent days.

Among the concerts of the festival that were broadcast on the Bergen TV music channel, Qin Jian's Lasan was judged by the local citizens as the best work of the festival.

Don't underestimate the art appreciation of these Bergenes, as the four classical capitals of Northern Europe, the Bergen people are no less critical of music than the Viennese.

To be honest, at the annual festival, many musicians from Germany and Austria have hit a wall here.

At the Bergen Festival in '07, an international violinist from Germany was splashed with dog poop at the door of his hotel room that night after playing Pergent's morning song at a concert.

Throwing shit shouldn't be encouraged.

Although it is not ruled out that there are some historical factors involved, it may be that his music is indeed not acceptable to the Bergen people.

In Qin Jian's performance that day, Sabina was not the only big man in the Grieg Concert Hall.

In the August 13 issue of The Times, a music review directly brought Qin Jian's name to the real English-speaking world. Beautiful book bar

In this linguistic country full of racism, there is no shortage of comments on the stigmatization of Asian artists.

But this time, to everyone's surprise, Giggs Hoppe, the chief music critic of The Times, who is known as the most vicious tongue in Europe, actually gave great recognition to a young Chinese pianist.

Regarded as the most hated music critic by countless musicians, no one knows what music on Earth he will appear on, he often turns down invitations to the annual Viennese New Year's Concert, and occasionally appears in a small and inconspicuous bar, in short, no one can catch him.

But in the weekly music review column of The Times, his sharp words are never absent.

Regarding Qin Jian's Lasan, he wrote:

You don't immediately realise how clever he was at solving Rachmaninoff's challenge to the players, and everything was transformed into sheer dexterity in his hands – his technique would make you forget about musical technique altogether. ’

His left hand was as ever-changing as a wave, incredibly soft. ‘

When the image of the music seemed unlikely to achieve richer acoustic changes, he only used his arms to shake the whole orchestra to boil, and Sabina really did not need to exist, and the orchestra automatically followed the piano to begin a new round of stubborn onslaught that swept away everything. ’

There is an ineffable decisiveness in his treatment of the cadenzas. ’

There is no doubt that Adams' choice to retire last year was a clear choice. ’

And at the same time that Hope's music review made headlines in the UK.

Perhaps Hope's praise of Qin Jian in his remarks was excessive, and he stepped on the spearhead at Adams, Adams's number one fan, the famous German music critic Philip, quit.

As a well-known music critic for the German Mirror, he published a commentary on Qin Jian the next day.

There are many praises in the comments, but the criticism is definitely greater than the praise.

The middle-aged music critic first praised Qin Jian's talent and the lively atmosphere of the concert in his usual style, but when he spoke of the brilliance, he wrote: "The incomparably contrived performance almost ruined the whole work." ’

In the afternoon of the same day, the Mirror's biggest competitor, the Südger Focus Weekly, also published a music review, which was interesting, but the interesting part was not that its writer was the famous DGG boss - Walker.

Let's start with Walker's music criticism.

Walker commented objectively on the show throughout.

He doesn't blindly seem to replace everyone's perspective with his own efforts, as Hope does, and Walker only describes his feelings from beginning to end.

Indeed, great works are recorded in various ways. ’

Perhaps we have all been moved by a piece of music and imagined that if we performed it, we would have to be like that great work. ’

'The best pianist is the one who inspires the listener, and he conveys a persuasive power in his performance that makes me feel like if I could play like him.' ’

The interesting part is that Walker writes at the end - 'The day before yesterday at tea time with Baudelaire, the other party even offered to order a Steinway and Sons to show his affection for the young pianist. ’

The amount of information in a small music review says it all.

But a few days later, the New York Times, another heavyweight publication on the other side of the Pacific, reacted slightly.

They only gave Qin Jian's Lasan two stars, which is tantamount to a denial of this performance, five stars are often great scenes with historical significance, and two stars are just a shameless score.

Either way, as the old bartender said, 'Jian, you're going to be famous.' ’

Within half a month after Qin Jian came off the bench, he seemed to have become a celebrity all of a sudden.

It's not just abroad this time.
