Chapter 253: A True Pianist
"Hey, August, can you hurry up?"
A sightseeing bus is speeding down the road on the Danube, driven by Auguste Wilde, director of the Viana Music Society, who was in charge of inviting Liao Yuan to an Asian-American concert at the Musikverein.
At this time, when he heard that Liao Yuan had returned to Viana again, he immediately hurried over.
Next to him, who was urging Wilde to speed up, was a man in a gentleman's hat and an English waistcoat, about fifty or sixty years old, with a black and white goatee.
His name is Peter Layton, and he belongs to an organization called the International Piano Competition Federation.
With the mushrooming of international music competitions in the 20th century, a non-profit international organization called the "World Federation of International Music Games", also known as the Geneva Competition Federation, began to emerge.
In the middle of the last century, the alliance was established in Geneva, Sweden, and is affiliated to UNESCO, and enjoys the reputation of the "Olympic Committee" of the music industry in the world.
There are 127 competitions under the name of the league, such as the "Liszt International Piano Competition", "Verdi International Vocal Competition", "Queen Elizabeth International Music Competition", "Queen Songya International Vocal Competition", etc., including piano, violin, vocal music and other categories.
Of course, the top piano competition is naturally the "Chopin International Piano Competition".
The "Chopin International Piano Competition" is one of the three major classical music competitions in the world, held once every five years, and the well-known Chinese pianist Lin Weiyin has won the first prize in the "Chopin International Piano Competition", thus becoming famous all over the world.
The other two music competitions are the "Queen Elizabeth Music Competition" and the "Tchaikovsky Competition".
"August, do you think Liao will agree to participate in the Tchaikovsky Competition?"
On the speeding sightseeing bus, Peter Layton pressed the gentleman's hat on his head and asked excitedly: "Since the Four Emperors Competition and the Asian American Concert Special, his fame has been well-known in the world music scene, is it a bit too much to let him participate in the competition?"
"Not too much, a talented pianist deserves to challenge all piano competitions and win all awards. ”
Wilde laughed and said, "If it weren't for the Chopin International Competition, which is held every five years, I really want those pianists who claim to be talented pianists to see what is really absolutely crushing." ”
"What you say makes sense, if Liao wants to become a top pianist, he should have practical actions to prove himself! Haha, if Liao Yuan can be invited to participate in the Tchaikovsky Competition, it will definitely attract the attention of musicians all over the world. ”
The more the two talked, the more excited they became, and soon they came to the Golden Hall.
Wilde quickly got out of the carriage, took out the pass, and led Peter towards the hall, but the footsteps were suddenly subconsciously suppressed.
The two looked away, and saw Liao Yuan sitting in front of the piano on the stage, playing with four hands.
There are hundreds of people in the entire concert hall, but at this moment, they are silent, and they can be heard falling pins.
The sound of the piano is ding-dong, the tune of one voice, chasing the other part from beginning to end, until the last knot, the last chord.
At that moment, they seemed to merge together, never to be separated.
This lingering music is like two people following life and death......
The richness of emotions moves the listener and brings tears to the listener.
At this point, Wilde and Peter stopped in the middle hallway of the seating seats.
The two looked at each other in horror.
Canon-style four-handed play?
This kind of interpretation that focuses on counterpoint and arrangement, like a natural and mathematical formula, is undoubtedly "Canon".
But in the entire history of the world music scene, there have been those who have been able to perform piano duets.
But on a piano, a person plays "Canon" with four hands, but it seems that he has never heard of it.
Nor should it exist......
"I think it was a beautiful mistake for you to invite Liao to the Tchaikovsky Competition. Wilde suddenly said solemnly.
Peter swallowed his saliva, and his goatee trembled slightly: "I think you're right, he's not a contestant, he should be a judge, no one dares to comment on such a skill." ”
"He is much more mature than half a year ago, and his emotional sculpture is unmatched. ”
Wilde sighed: "When I first listened to "Immortal Music", it was a visual shock, after all, it was an absolute hand speed, and the fullness of emotions was slightly inferior, but this "Canon"-style four-hand joint playing, for emotional sculpture, is definitely a master. ”
Peter took a deep breath: "Yes, it is more mature than in the video, it grows too fast, there may not be a master like this in a hundred years, and in the entire international piano world, Liao's talent is ranked in the top three." ”
At this time, Liao Yuan had already finished playing.
Director Bruskey wiped a handful of loose hair, stood up, and said with a smile: "Liao, you are the most powerful pianist I have ever seen, there is no one." ”
"It's okay. ”
Liao Yuan moved his fingers and said unsatisfactorily, "Is it over?"
"It's over, it's over!"
Brusch hurriedly said: "It's just a MV, you can pick a scene, if it weren't for Huaxing's excellence, be sure to shoot on the spot, and don't bother you to come, after all, our company can also directly cut out the picture and do the post-production......
Liao Yuan smiled: "Mr. Bruschie, it's better to be serious, please." ”
Brusch nodded and said, "That's natural, this song will be sung by American music diva Demi Wheeler, who is one of the hottest singers in our West." ”
At this time, the filming ended, and dozens of people approached the stage in the audience, and one of them was a blonde girl who shouted to Liao Yuan from the audience: "Hi, Mr. Liao, can you sign a name? My grandmother is a big fan of yours, she is sick, if she knew that you came to Austria, she would definitely come to see your performance." ”
Brusch raised his eyebrows, and was about to scold, when he saw Liao Yuan suddenly bend down, take the notebook and pen of the blonde girl in the audience, and then half-knelt on the floor, and asked the girl gently, "What's your name?"
"My name is Winnie Betty, you can call me Winnie!" the blonde girl was pleasantly surprised.
When Liao Yuan heard this, he wrote a paragraph on the title page of his notebook, "I wish Winnie's grandmother a speedy recovery, stay away from illness, and always be healthy." ”
The signature is "Liao", as well as his own Chinese name.
The blonde girl looked at Liao Yuan, who was kneeling on the floor to sign her autograph, and her heart throbbed
After Liao Yuan finished signing, she took the notebook, looked at the blessings, suddenly covered her mouth, was moved to tears, and bowed to Liao Yuan: "Thank you!"
The audience burst into thunderous applause, which lasted for a long time.
From afar, Wilde watched the scene: "He's a real pianist. ”
"Yes, a real pianist. Peter said slowly.
