Chapter 149: Reincarnation Chopin
Cai Yafang interjected: "I have watched Mr. Tan's piano recital, this "La San" is super perverted, if I remember correctly, this piece should be more than fifty minutes, right?"
Tan Shan smiled and nodded.
Zhao Yan exclaimed: "It's so long, Mr. Tan, you don't play this piece without breathing, you keep playing it, right?"
Tan Shan laughed miserably: "Then what should I do, of course I have to keep playing." ”
Cai Yafang said with a slight exaggeration: "I was stupid when I listened to "La San" for the first time, Mr. Tan played the piano for almost an hour in one go, and in the end I felt that he was going to be tired and collapsed. ”
Zhao Jing imagined and said, "This is indeed a bit perverted, give me two spoons and let me knock the cup for ten minutes, I guess my arm will be sore." Brother Tan, you have to play the piano for an hour in one breath, and you have to memorize complex tunes, which is really powerful. ”
Tan Shan sighed: "This is a hard job. Sometimes I really envy Lang Lang, Lang Lang is a natural piano master, he is not only skilled, but also the most admirable thing for us pianists is that he has abundant physical strength. Every time Lang Lang holds a piano recital, he can carry the whole recital with full energy. I can't do it anymore, every time I have a recital, it's like running a marathon, and I can't stand it anymore because I lose weight and lose weight. Especially in my piano recital, there must be a super long piece like "La San" every time, which is really torturous. ”
Listening to Tan Shan's words, the two sisters Zhao Yan and Zhao Jing realized that playing the piano was not as light and graceful as they imagined, it turned out to be a heavy physical work. No wonder those musicians sweat like rain at every turn, it turns out that playing the piano is like running a marathon, so scary!
Tan Shan continued: "The physical torture of playing "La San" is only one aspect, and the mental pressure is also very great. I remember that when I performed "La San" in 01 year, I had a nightmare experience - that time I sat on the stage, in front of an audience of black crows and crows in the audience, my brain suddenly vacuumed, completely forgot the melody, and my fingers left the keys, so frozen in the air, for more than half a minute...... At that time, I felt like I was going to die, and that feeling of falling into hell left me with a nightmare that I have not been able to completely erase to this day. Every time I perform this piece, I still feel that kind of fear, like a fish in my throat, and I don't dare to breathe until the end of the performance. ”
Huang Guolun has a deep understanding of Tan Shan's words: "I understand your feelings, Mr. Tan, I also had the experience of a short circuit in the brain when I participated in piano competitions before, and that kind of instantaneous amnesia is really terrifying, and it is more uncomfortable than death." ”
Han Yue said with a commanding attitude: "Teacher Huang, you just participate in general piano competitions and forget the score, and the forgetting of the score to have a recital with Teacher Tan is not the same meaning. If you forget to participate in the competition, you will lose the competition at most, and there will be no big loss for you, and it will be a big deal to make a comeback. But if Mr. Tan forgets to score a recital, then his reputation will be over, and he will not want to hold a recital again in the next year or two, and even his career may plummet, and that kind of pressure is definitely not something that ordinary people can bear. ”
Zhao Yan asked incomprehensibly: "The competition in the piano performance world is so fierce, and if you make a mistake, you won't have a chance to hold another recital?"
Tan Shan explained: "What kind of mistake is this, such as forgetting the score, if you make it, it will be a great disrespect to the audience, and it is also extremely irresponsible for your own work." If this kind of mistake is to be made, it will be criticized by industry critics, and his career will definitely suffer a heavy setback. But a general improvisation mistake is not a big deal. ”
Huang Guolun said: "Anyway, no matter what the occasion, sitting in front of the piano, the brain suddenly goes blank, and the high tension pressure is very uncomfortable. ”
Zhao Jing said with a smile Huang Guolun: "But I think every time you sit in front of the piano and play, you are very chic and freehand, and you can sing while playing, and you don't feel nervous at all." ”
Huang Guolun said: "Playing the piano on such an occasion in a duck shop, of course my mind is relaxed. This is not a serious stage. If I had held a professional piano recital like Mr. Tan, I guess I would have been very nervous, and I would definitely not be as relaxed as playing the piano in the store. ”
Cai Yafang was very interested in Huang Guolun's musical talent, after all, she had been listening to the Zhao sisters blowing him for a long time, so she said in passing: "Teacher Huang, listen to the ducks and ducks say that you have good creative skills, have you ever written piano music, play it for us?"
Zhao Jing actively instigated: "Yes, yes, you show your hand to Teacher Tan and Teacher Han." ”
Huang Guolun smiled and said: "These are all teachers from the Conservatory of Music, they are performers, is it too ugly for me to play the piano in front of them?"
Tan Shan smiled and said: "Teacher Huang, you are serious, we are all engaged in music, so let's talk about it casually." They all say you're very talented in music, and if you've ever written piano music, I'd love to hear it. ”
Zhao Yan also persuaded Huang Guolun: "Why don't you play one, Mr. Tan performed in our store just now, and played Chopin's nocturne for us, which is very good." ”
Han Yue corrected: "To be precise, Mr. Tan played two songs - Nocturne Op. . . No. 1's Nocturne in B-flat minor and No. 2's No. 2 No. 1 in E-flat major. ”
Tan Shan nodded slightly, he had indeed played these two nocturnes without interruption just now. Anyone who knows a little bit about Chopin's music should be able to hear it.
Zhao Jing asked Tan Shan: "Did Chopin write a lot of serenades?"
Han Yue choked Zhao Jing with a little disgust: "Chopin is most famous for its nocturne, not serenade. Nocturne and serenade are two completely different genres. ”
Zhao Jing was stunned and said, "Ah, aren't these two the same thing?"
Tan Shan said: "No. Serenades only express the scene of the night, and the nocturne can be the expression of any inner thoughts of the author at night, and there are few in Chopin's nocturnes that really depict the night scene. He wrote a total of twenty-one nocturnes, each of which is very beautiful and picturesque. ”
Zhao Jing was taught: "I see, no wonder he is called 'piano poet'." ”
As soon as she turned her head, she actually asked Huang Guolun: "Teacher Huang, have you written a nocturne?"
"Well......" Huang Guolun hesitated for a moment and said, "I guess I have written it." ”
Han Yue smiled and said, "What do you mean by having written?"
"I majored in pop music composition in college, and my compositions are mainly concentrated in the field of pop music, and I rarely involve traditional and classical compositions. However, when I practice, I improvise some piano music, including Chopin-style nocturnes. ”
Before his head was consecrated, Huang Guolun certainly never composed classical music works, but after the consecration, he not only had a lot of classical piano music in his mind that he had never heard before, but also a lot of master-level symphonic works.
With his ability, he would never have been able to write such a magnificent symphonic suite, but these works appeared in his mind. Maybe this is the legendary explosion of inspiration. Anyway, what appeared in his head, he thought it was written by himself.
When Han Yue heard Huang Guolun say this, she deliberately killed Huang Guolun, and said: "You are quite good, you can improvise when you practice the piano." I'd love to hear what your improvised Chopin-style nocturnes look like. ”
Tan Shan was also very interested in Huang Guolun's creation, and proposed: "Teacher Huang, don't hide it, since you have created it, let us play it and listen to it." ”
Huang Guolun said modestly: "Okay, then I'll get an axe in front of the experts, play a "Nocturne in E flat major", and throw bricks and lead the way." ”
Huang Guolun is throwing bricks, what he is going to throw is the most popular song of Chopin's nocturnes in another world!
The style of this nocturne bears obvious traces of traditional nocturnes, typical of Chopin's early works – plain and poetic. As long as you are a little bit of musical literacy, when you hear this nocturne, you will think of the words "piano poet".
In another world, listen to Chopin's nocturne, Rubinstein's version is the first to be recommended. The rhythm of his fingertips, sometimes compressed, sometimes stretched, is extremely easy, and this kind of water wave (ripple) (ripple) like kneading key performance adds infinite connotation to the music.
The "Nocturne in E flat major" that exploded in Huang Guolun's mind is Rubinstein's pinnacle work.
At this moment, several people moved to the lobby outside.
Huang Guolun sat in front of Kawaii's piano, looking very steady, but he did not have the literary temperament of a performer like Tan Shan, he was more like a simple music teacher who wanted to play the piano for his students.
Looking at Huang Guolun's calm and somewhat clumsy back, Han Yue smiled inadvertently with contempt on her lips.
She guessed that this Teacher Huang was at most the creative level of a high school teacher, and he said that he improvised Chopin-style nocturnes, which should have just imitated Chopin's nocturnes, and Dong Shi Xiaofeng made a four-like thing, right?
In the mood of watching the excitement, Han Yue waited to see Huang Guolun smiling generously in front of these high-end professionals.
Tan Shan deliberately observed Huang Guolun's movements of rubbing his fingers, and he noticed that Huang Guolun's slightly thick ten fingers didn't seem to be very flexible.
Can such fingers really play the romantic nocturne like poetry in the style of Chopin?
Under the skeptical gaze of these two professionals, Huang Guolun quietly began the interpretation of nocturne.
As if Rubinstein possessed him, playing this nocturne, Huang Guolun gradually appeared a unique charm like a piano poet.
Under his fingers, the piano sings poetically with its own unique voice, and the personality of the music is in harmony with the characteristics of the piano.
Savoring the melancholy, wistful, and reluctant atmosphere that permeated the nocturne played by Huang Guolun, Tan Shan and Han Yue, the two professionals, their expressions gradually became solidified.
The more they listened to it, the more shocked they became.
This is just a nocturne that Huang Guolun improvised when he usually practiced the piano?
Such a poetic and beautiful nocturne is not an exaggeration to say that it was written by Chopin in the second generation!
