Chapter 347: There are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky

Jarrodradnich has been hailed as "the most promising and creative pianist" in the United States since the beginning of the new century. His piano playing skills are skillful, his style is enthusiastic and unrestrained, and he has many fans around the world, and his influence on the international music scene can once be comparable to that of China's Lang Lang.

That was, of course, years later in another parallel world. At this moment, this guy is still the same as Liu Yufan, just a school student. However, the Curtis Institute of Music, where he is located, is also a top international music school. The international reputation is not only better than that of the Central Conservatory of Music, but even comparable to the Chai Academy, and even better in some aspects.

Curtis Institute of Music Dean Gary. Graffman is known as the legendary "left-handed pianist". Although his right arm was injured in his early years and he could no longer play the piano, he relied on his left hand to make a great reputation in the international music scene, which is very rare. What's even more rare is that Graffman is also known as the "Bole" of piano genius, and over the years, he has single-handedly brought out many well-known pianists on the international piano stage, and China's Lang Lang is one of them.

Of course, Liu Yufan was surprised to see Jarrodradnich, not only because the other party was a student at the Curtis Institute of Music, but also because there was another thing that only he knew, and it was more embarrassing.

This jarrodradnich is the original performer of the piano piece "He'sapirate". The piece played by Liu Yufan was plagiarized from others. It's just that in this life, Liu Yufan relied on the advantage of foresight and foresight to write the tune first, and added a little change of his own, becoming a completely own thing. He, the Li ghost, became Li Kui, but the real Li Kui lost this opportunity forever.

"It's a small world." Liu Yufan looked at Jarrodradnich, who was already sitting in front of the piano, and muttered a sentence in his mouth. Of course. As Liu Yufan, who aspires to become a top international pianist, as long as he embarks on this professional path, sooner or later he will face these top pianists, but this day came really early.

Jarrodradnich sat down in front of Big Steinway, and the rest of the lights on the stage dimmed, except for a flash light that hit him and the piano in front of him. Although Jarrodradnich wore a black evening dress tonight. But this still can't hide his free and easy temperament, and this dress is somewhat incompatible with him. According to Liu Yufan's eyes, he should be the same as Maxim, wearing a cool black sleeveless leather shirt. Casual jeans and pop piano tunes. Of course, this is just Liu Yufan's idea. You know, whether it is Jarrodradnich or he is now, he is just a student at school. On some occasions outside, it doesn't matter if you dress up and play in this style, but in this kind of formal communication event, it is basically impossible to appear in this style. If that's the case, you have to make those old men angry and have heart attacks.

Therefore, Jarrodradnich honestly chose a formal concert etude "The Hunt".

Of course, in terms of this piece alone, the style is very close to that of Jarrodradnich.

Some people say that among the twelve super technique etudes of the piano demon Liszt, the fifth "Ghost Fire" is the most difficult. But if the most gorgeous and dazzling is the eighth song "Hunting". Playing this piece requires a high level of piano skill and explosiveness, and the average pianist would not dare to try such a piece. Even those pianists who play it regularly need to train extremely hard and have a strong comprehensive foundation if they want to fully unleash the power contained within them.

Of course, when this piece is played, it is extremely beautiful, with strong impacts and powerful chords all the time. are powerfully hitting people's hearts! Jarrodradnich's hands lifted up with great ease, and landed on the keys with great elasticity. As soon as he touched the keys, his arms immediately and forcefully "vibrate", and an incomparably transparent and crisp sound "burst" from his fingertips!

The bright and brilliant timbre of the Steinway Triangle is vividly reflected in this short phrase. And after the performance. The jarrodradnich tightened his arms as if they were being burned by fire, and the sound of the piano was collected to the fullest, and the feeling of "movement" and "stillness" was combined to the extreme!

This hand played like lightning and stonefire, and immediately caught the attention of the audience.

As soon as the connoisseur stretches out his hand, he will know if there is one. Those present are all experts in the piano industry, and they are the top people and elites in this industry. Seeing Jarrodradnich's outstretched hand, he immediately knew the other party's catties. The so-called famous people are not vain, and the students from Curtis, a top music school in the United States, are really extraordinary.

Liu Yufan watched the performance of Jarrodradnich, but he had a different feeling.

He is all too familiar with this kind of performance. It can be said that Liu Yufan, who was in his previous life, studied the video of Jarrodradnich's "He'sapirate" countless times, and he has a certain amount of professional accumulation, so it can be said that he has eaten Jarrodradnich's performance style very thoroughly. There's no doubt that Jarrodradnich is a perfect combination of power and technique. His playing is always full of explosive power. The keys are under his hands, like toys, and you will find that those keys are so "obedient", and his playing is also full of randomness, like fingers running on the keys at will, "playing games", very interesting games. And the music just flows out of your fingertips!

He has a good hand shape, very good. It can be said that it is a standard academic technique. From the side, his hands have maintained an extremely standardized arch most of the time, and even in the large-span octave playing, there is not much change. And obviously he didn't do this for the sake of good looks, such a hand shape did bring him great convenience to play. But if the academics think that he plays the piano like this because he was infected by his own faction, it is very wrong. Jarrodradnich's playing looks like an academic style. But in his bones, he is 100% American piano playing style. At this point, it can be heard from the sound of his piano, which is full of a spirit of free heroism, showing off his personality and not following the rules at all.

Jarrodradnich's arms jumped energetically on the keys, his arms strong and powerful, and his fingers short and stubble. Every rise and fall is swift and accurate, while at the same time giving a sense of power. After watching too much of his playing, people will even worry about whether the flexible and fragile keys will not be able to withstand his playing and be broken. Although I knew in my heart that this possibility was almost non-existent. But that's how it feels!

The sound of the piano came like a storm, and the jarrodradnich in front of the piano also maintained the strength of the arm, and it looked full of strength and beauty. But his posture is very steady, and he rarely swings meaninglessly with the movements of his hands. His performance, as if it had been carefully calculated, refused to waste a little more energy but did useless things, and was only willing to spend his energy on playing, which was extremely accurate.

A song is played. Jarrodradnich's face was not red or breathless, his expression was as usual, and even when he bowed to the audience, the smile on his face was extremely relaxed. Obviously, this super difficult piece did not cause him any burden. 、

This is a manifestation of its own strength. A good pianist must not only be technically excellent, but also physically strong. Otherwise. A large-scale concerto or sonata cannot be played for dozens of minutes or even more than an hour at every turn, without extraordinary physical strength and perfect technique. Let's just say that this piece, if it were a pianist with average physical strength, I am afraid that I would have already sweated after playing the whole piece. …,

"It's a tough opponent." Liu Yufan looked at Jarrodradnich, who was standing on the stage with a relaxed face, and thought with a serious expression. Meantime. He had other ideas in his mind.

"Such an explosive pianist is suitable for the development of popular piano. Alas, it's a pity that my company is still too small, and the other party is a big god, I'm afraid it's not easy to recruit. Liu Yufan thought secretly.

As a reborn person, Liu Yufan still has this awareness. See "Potential Stocks". I can't help but want to solicit. However, every time he thinks that his current strength is still very weak, and he only sighs for those good seedlings, Liu Yufan is very anxious, which is really a very contradictory mentality.

Jarrodradnich's excellent performance naturally won warm applause from everyone in the audience. However, this kind of performance, in the eyes of the top piano professors in Chai Academy, can only be regarded as average. After all, the style of Jarrodradnich is undoubtedly unacceptable to them, who are known for their rigor, because Jarrodradnich's performance is too straightforward, not at all subtle, and unelegant, which is unacceptable to these classical students.

But one way or another, the level of Jarrodradnich is outstanding, this cannot be denied. Moreover, his playing style is also very appealing to those young people. This can be seen from the young people who are desperately applauding and cheering.

"Senior brother, this yellow-haired foreigner plays well, you say, which of you two is powerful?" Seeing Jarrodradnich step down, Chen Siying asked with a grin.

"It's hard to say, his skills are really powerful, but if you really want to compare, I'm not lagging behind, almost." Liu Yufan thought about it and said confidently. Indeed, although Jarrodradnich is a very powerful pianist, if it was placed in the past, Liu Yufan only looked up to others, but now Liu Yufan is not Wuxia Amun, for these big bulls, although he still has some respect in his heart, he can already face them with a very honest attitude. Even, Liu Yufan always wants to be the boss of others.

"Hey, I think so too, and I don't know how the school arranged it, so I only sent Wang Yujia to represent our school to participate in the performance, in fact, I think that the level of the two of you is about the same, and even you are a little better than her." Chen Siying said a little unconvinced.

"Hehe, Yu Jia is an official student of Alto after all, and her qualifications and reputation are higher than mine, there is only one place in each college, so naturally she can only come first, there is nothing to be unconvinced." Liu Yufan said with a smile.

"Yu Jia Yu Jia Di, why are you so affectionate." Listening to Liu Yufan's words, Chen Siying said with an unkind face.

"Watch the show, watch the show." Seeing that Chen Siying's face was wrong again, Liu Yufan hurriedly changed the topic with a smile.

The next performance really opened the eyes of Liu Yufan, Chen Siying and others. I originally thought that in China, the level of my people was top-notch, first-class. Even if it is placed on the world stage, it can be given a go. But watching one more wonderful show, even many legendary classic "difficult songs" have been put on the stage, each performer is so powerful, each has its own strengths, which left a deep impression on them, and at the same time, they also deeply felt that they had been a little "sitting in the well and watching the sky" before, underestimating the heroes of the world.

Especially when Naumov, a professor of the piano department of the Chai Academy, came to the stage to play a piece of "La Er" (Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 2), Liu Yufan and others were completely convinced.

This song, which ranks first among the top ten most difficult piano pieces in the world, is claimed to consume the same physical strength as "shoveling ten tons of coal" to play once, but it was played by such an old man who is over fifty years old. Looking at his meticulous and rigorous movements and every undeformed detail, Liu Yufan was convinced, completely convinced. ..., although his current level is also very good, he is far from being able to play this divine comedy freely, let alone like others, he can add so many of his own "thoughts" into it, and behave so vigorously. Although Liu Yufan can't play this piece freely now, he can listen to it. After confirming Professor Naumov's current performance and the advanced skills that Mo Yan told him before, Liu Yufan was surprised to find that the other party's performance was simply like a "model", and every subtle technical action could be taken out separately and could be standard enough to be directly "demonstrated".

When Naumov's performance ended, the concert hall burst into long and enthusiastic applause, and people consciously stood up to salute such a wonderful performance!

"Well, you can see what the world's top level is. I always felt good about myself in the academy before, but now that I watch other people's performances, how do you feel? Seeing that several students had a slightly devastated look on their faces, Ling Yuan asked with a smile.

"Teacher Ling, how do you say he practiced, he didn't go off the board at all after playing for more than half an hour, and the technical movements were standardized as if they were printed out of a textbook, which is also too good, the cow is boundless, I don't know what year and month we can also practice like others." Liu Yufan said enviously.

"You guys, don't worry, as the saying goes, the eyes are lazy and the hands are good, don't just look at others, the key is to work hard and practice hard, you are still young, as long as you don't stop, one day, you will also reach this level." Ling Yuan smiled and encouraged.

The performance was over, and people walked out of the small concert hall in twos and threes. Liu Yufan and Chen Siying walked side by side, and after walking a few steps, they heard an enthusiastic voice behind them.
