Chucho Valdés is one of the world's finest jazz pianists and composers, having been nominated for 15 Grammys and won 5 awards.

He came to the magic capital to hold a concert, and those who like music will definitely not miss it, especially professionals like Fang Suxi, who are professional piano players, and they can't refuse Valdés's concert.

Walking into the concert hall from the VIP passage, Fang Suxi said happily: "Uncle, thank you so much this time, Valdés came to the magic capital to give a concert, I almost missed it, if you hadn't told me the news, I would definitely regret it in the future." ”

It wasn't until he sat down in the center of the front row that Fang Suxi asked in hindsight: "Uncle, how did you get these tickets?

"My friend knew that I liked music, so he left it for me, and it worked best to sit in this position and listen to the concert. Xiao Yao said lightly.

Su Wenjing sat next to Fang Suxi, listening to the whispered conversation between the two, she was even more satisfied with Xiao Yao.

Being able to get a ticket for this position, although it doesn't directly mean anything, can at least prove that Xiao Yao does have a certain amount of energy.

This is the first time her best friend has fallen in love, and she sincerely hopes that the two of them can have a good outcome. And if you want to have a good result, then the premise is that Xiao Yao's conditions cannot be too bad, otherwise, this love is destined to only become a good memory for her best friend, and it will not be a positive result.

Valdés first played the Piano Prelude.

This work is the essence of the piano music of the great French Impressionist composer Archille-Claude Debussy, reflecting Debussy's unique musical language and new creative methods.

Valdés's performance level is indeed very high, although in Xiao Yao's opinion, his performance is a little rigid, but it can be regarded as showing the essence of this work.

In the next performance of Schumann's Fantasia 12, Valdés showed a truly high standard, and the audience was mesmerized.

Schumann was an important German Romantic musician in the 19th century, and Fantasia () is one of his title piano suites, and it is also a piano piece that Xiao Yao personally likes very much.

After the end of "Spring Sonata", it also received warm applause from the audience.

This piece is Beethoven's most praised and well-known violin and piano ensemble work, full of confident and optimistic spiritual concepts, and stylistically inherits the tradition of similar works by Haydn and Mozart, two classical masters, and is an important representative work of Beethoven in the early days.

Valdés showed a consistently high standard of performance for this piece, but the violinist with whom he played was a little inferior in terms of performance, which inevitably made the piece a little overshadowed.

The next performance of "Carmen Fantasia" brought an even greater surprise to the audience.

Valdés actually invited the famous pianist Yun Di in China to play this piece with him!

The Fantasia on a Theme of Carmen consists of an introduction and 4 pieces of music, performed by two pianists together, both of whom show a very high level and are very well connected.

The whole piece uses magnificent piano playing techniques, and the use of these techniques makes this fantasia appear gorgeous, dazzling, and very expressive.

Often, a pianist will have a different interpretation of the same piece each time, and the four-hand cooperation of the two pianists amplifies the room for change and imagination, which is also the charm of this piece.

Valdés performed more than a dozen popular pieces in total, including romance, jazz, rock and roll.

Among them, famous Chinese songs such as "Liang Zhu" and "A Big River", which are very familiar to domestic audiences, are also specially added, and they are all piano pieces adapted by him himself. When the Chinese melody meets the black and white keys, the musicians in the audience feel that it is worth the trip to enjoy the original classics on the spot.

Until the end of the scene, Fang Suxi's spirit was still very excited, and he kept talking about his feelings in his mouth.

Valdés's adaptation of this Liang Zhu is really feeling. While he was playing, the attachment scene of Liang Zhu Changting regretting goodbye suddenly crashed into my mind. ”

Speaking of this, her eyes looked a little misty, "I seemed to see the two young people's hands on the tree-lined path, but they refused to let go. Because they know that this loose, they don't know when they will be able to meet again. A strong trill ends the parting, a deep and rich timbre that heralds the coming ominous signs, and the use of all kinds of shocks is simply perfect, making the hearts of all listeners rise and fall with the ebb and flow of the music. ”

Fang Suxi finally concluded: "I think Balster's adaptation of this Liang Zhu is very successful, and it is really very moving. ”

Then she looked up and asked Xiao Yao, "Uncle, what do you think?"

The adaptation is really good, but the version he adapted pays more attention to showing off skills, and the expression of feelings is slightly worse. Xiao Yao commented truthfully.

"Uncle, you are very demanding? It seems that your musical attainments must be very good, and ordinary people would not dare to say that. Fang Suxi looked at Xiao Yao with a suspicious gaze.

"Don't underestimate me, although I didn't study music, my level is not necessarily bad. "Panwu's attainments in music are absolutely unmatched, Xiao Yao inherited everything from him, and naturally it is not bad, he is already very modest when he says this.

Su Wenjing's understanding of Xiao Yao's words was biased, and she thought that Xiao Yao was referring to no worse than the students of the two conservatories.

She had the heart to try Xiao Yao's true level to see if he was bragging, so she said: "Uncle, are you underestimating us too much, we are also music students, we may not be as good as you in other aspects, but in terms of music, how can we be a little better than you, right?"

Without waiting for Xiao Yao to refute, she immediately said: "Uncle, why don't we find a chance to compare, Su Su and I both learned piano playing, I don't know if you have studied this aspect of performance?"

"That's a coincidence, I did study specifically, and I still have some confidence in my piano performance. ”

Xiao Yao did not intend to refuse Su Wenjing's proposal, this was a good opportunity for him to further contact Fang Suxi.

He thought about it for a while, and soon made a decision, "How about I invite you two to Western food at noon tomorrow?" I will contact a high-end Western restaurant and borrow the restaurant's piano by the way, this is a good idea, right?"
