Chapter 61: You Quietly Watch Me Pretend to Be Forced (Part II)
"The next Lu Shichen, I'm looking forward to your performance. Huang Yelou's expectations are really expectations, and he wants to see what the standard that is evaluated as comparable to Mendelssohn is.
Not only Huang Yelou, to be precise, the three examiners are very much looking forward to it, Peng Zheyu stroked his reading glasses, with a scrutinizing gaze, he wants to look at it with the strictest requirements, and Baili's eyes are more appreciation, as if he is about to usher in the appreciation of the master's work.
In a word, the atmosphere in the assessment hall was different in an instant.
"Hey brother, be careful, I always have an ominous premonition. He Zhixiang patted Lu Shichen, and bumped Lu Shichen with his shoulder very intimately.
Lu Xun said when commemorating Liu He Zhenjun that true warriors dare to face the bleak life and dare to face the dripping blood, but obviously Lu Shichen does not think that the current situation is dangerous.
"Xiao Jun stays here. Before Lu Shichen went up, he gave a command, but he didn't pay attention, and the moment he turned around, Pan Jun secretly took out his mobile phone and turned on the video function.
"The fierce uncle in the café didn't have anything to say last time, and he definitely didn't have it this time, this time I want to take a picture of the fierce uncle's speechless appearance. Pan Jun held his mobile phone with this intention.
Before coming, Lu Shichen had already thought about playing Wen Ruiyu's work, and his work Lu Shichen was the most comfortable to play, but when he saw this Steinway Spring Time, his whole body was excited, so the words turned to his mouth and said: "Yesterday I watched a playback of a two-act opera, a story written by Romani and composed by Bellini, and the name of the opera is "Norma". ”
The examiner and other assessors were stunned, as if Huang Yelou, as the director of the classical piano department of Wudu University, knew more than ordinary people, and naturally knew that Bellini was a famous Italian composer in the early twentieth century, and graduated from the San Sebaschino Conservatory of Music of the two-star academy, but what did he suddenly say about this?
Just when everyone was puzzled, they only heard Lu Shichen continue unhurriedly: "After listening to Norma's gorgeous and natural melody, and after watching Norma's strong and tortuous plot, I was inspired to write a big fantasia "Norma's Memories". ”
The grade is different in an instant, whether it is a fantasia written by himself or an opera, and everyone's expressions change in an instant.
"The fantasia he wrote, this brother is really amazing. He Zhixiang muttered to himself: "This level should be to take the special grade teacher's exam, and it can't be done if you don't do it for a special teacher." ”
There is a person with a different expression, the only female examiner, she originally wrote a waltz, so her gaze still has the flavor of 'come and compare, see who is more powerful'.
Below, piano solo, "Norma's Memories". ”
When he reported the curtain by himself, Lu Shichen's whole body trembled slightly, but this was not fear, but an excitement.
Lu Shichen smashed his arms on the keys, but he threw them again as if the keys were elastic, playing gorgeously and atmospherically.
Bite.
Norma's memories begin with a mighty accent, like thunder in the form of a six-tone smash into the treble area, like a brick striking people's hearts, making everyone present tremble in their hearts, and this unique opening vaguely indicates that this great fantasia is extraordinary.
Someone once commented that Liszt is the pianist who can best show his piano skills, and "Norma's Memory" is one of the masterpieces of the difficult technique of Liszt, so I believe some people have guessed that "Norma's Memories" is one of the ten most difficult pieces in the world to play in the "Global Daily".
Suddenly, his left hand came to the bass area again, twice as fast as just now, Lu Shichen's left hand was so fast that he couldn't see his fingers clearly, playing frantically, from the third chord to the seventh chord, and the right hand instantly slid the key area, carrying a thrilling note, shooting out of the cold resonance box of Steinway & Sons Spring Time.
Baili, Huang Yelou, Peng Zheyu, He Zhixiang and other people present, including those who can be said to know little about the piano, all flew out of the notes that were obviously very passionate and enthusiastic with Norma's memories, and there was a sense of suffocation.
The crazy show off of the madness, the right hand played the third and sixth double notes in the high register, playing a tight small clause, and the surging piano sound occupied everyone's ears.
"My God, piano music can also play such a passionate tune, how on earth is this?" He Zhixiang felt that his three views were destroyed, and he was dumbfounded.
As for the only woman among the performers, the idea of competing with her own waltz has long been thrown out of the clouds, this is not incomparable, this is not comparable at all.
I have to say that Liszt should be envied by many people in that era, not only superb piano skills but also a handsome face, personable can be said to be a national idol, countless confidants and many mercy, and the most powerful thing is that he was also with the famous German Duke Wittgenstein's wife Caroline, but after all, there was no fate.
So Liszt wrote this fantasia.
Let's take a look at Norma's story:
The heroine is the female leader of a group occupied by the Roman Empire, that is, Norma. She knew that her people would be punished for hating the Roman occupation forces, and that the traitors would be burned at the stake, but she couldn't help but fall in love with the Roman officials and gave birth to a crystallization of their love.
In addition to the fact that Norma and the Roman officials in question knew this secret that could lead to burning at the stake, there was also one person who knew that Norma's girlfriend, and she made a pact with Norma to keep this secret to the death. How could Norma have expected that his girlfriend is also in love with the Roman official and plans to elope with him. After learning about it, Norma had mixed feelings and decided to burn the jade. She declared herself a traitor at a public meeting, in exchange for calmly being burned at the stake with the Roman magistrates.
Boom!
The loneliness that welled up in Lu Shichen's chest seemed to be combined with Liszt's grief and indignation, and Norma's memories were rejuvenated under Lu Shichen's hands, and the ten fingers were like bombers, bombarding the black and white keys, playing keys, chords, and cross-playing, wave after wave, and finally it seemed like a huge tsunami was overwhelming.
Rushing.
People seemed to see the sound of the waves, rushing through the piano, Lu Shichen always ran on the keyboard with both hands, and the speed was so fast that he couldn't see the movements.
A downright heroic tragedy epic, a two-hour opera, Liszt frantically summed it up in ten minutes, such a tragedy is so condensed, so this fantasia is crazy to the extreme, writing music with love, Liszt also wants to vent.
Bang.
Lu Shichen's hands seemed to have turned into thunder cones, smashing down purple thunderbolts, and the piano sounded lightning and thunder, but his brain was extremely calm.
The body and mind seem to be split into two individuals.
And after Steinway was "devastated" for more than ten minutes, he finally survived under Lu Shichen with an ending note.
The whole hall was quiet......
ps: Tell me out loud that the protagonist will give tickets and give a reward if he doesn't hold it.
