Chapter 483: Wonderful Street Performance

The soft and melodious violin sound, like a warm winter sun, softly but continuously wraps around the hearts of the audience.

The one who played the violin was a middle-aged man with long hair in a golden shawl, a dark gray tweed trench coat, the collar of the shirt, the dark blue tie was meticulously beaten, and the sparse stubble made him look a little unruly.

Like the street artists he just met, this one is also a street performer. In front of him, a somewhat worn hard violin case was opened and placed on the ground, with some bits and pieces of money inside. In front of him stood a little girl in a cute yellow trench coat. She looked to be about ten years old, her skin was as white as cream, and her big blue eyes made her look very cute. When a few people walked by here just now, Liu Yufan just saw her bend down and get up again, and at the same time there was a coin that was gently put into the piano case.

Seeing this beautiful little Lori put the money into her case, the violin player didn't stop playing in his hand, but just looked at the corner of his mouth with a smile.

What attracted Liu Yufan and the three of them to stop was the sound of his piano. The reason why he didn't stop after so many street performances, but only stayed here, in addition to the fact that this man's piano skills are indeed superb, the piece played by the artist is also one of the reasons why several people stopped.

The sound of the piano is lingering and beautiful, and the melody is beautiful, but it is very familiar to several people. The piece played by this foreign violinist is actually China's "Liang Zhu".

Liu Yufan didn't expect that a foreigner could actually play this Chinese song so well, which made him a little surprised and admired.

Pulling out a few 100 yuan bills from his pocket, Liu Yufan bent down and gently placed them in front of him.

This generous move. The violinist nodded slightly at Liu Yufan and smiled. The music in his hand did not stay for a moment, it still flowed faintly.

"That's a good pull." Liu Yufan smiled and turned around and said to Lang Lang and Wang Yujia.

"yes, the street artists here are very high-calib. As far as he plays this song "Liang Zhu", I dare to say that there is no problem directly going to the recording studio to record the record. Lang Lang said with a smile.

Wang Yujia looked at the banknotes that Liu Yufan put into the piano case and said with a smile: "You are generous enough, this money is enough to buy a concert ticket." "Although it is said that it is so. She also pulled out a bill and put it in the case.

Lang Lang is no exception, although among the three, his financial situation is the most embarrassing, but out of respect for art, Lang Lang still put a banknote in it.

Liu Yufan looked at Lang Lang's action, but there was a hint of strangeness in his eyes. As a reborn, Liu Yufan understands the current living situation of the future piano star at this moment. Because of some unpleasant things that happened with the teacher at the Central Conservatory of Music, Lang Lang can be said to have some meaning of "running away in a negative mood". And the cost of going to school at the Curtis Institute of Music almost used up all the money in the family. At least Liu Yufan knew that his parents should have sold their houses in their hometown in Northeast China. He's now. I should be short of money.

But even so. Lang Lang still uses this way to express his respect for the artist. This made Liu Yufan's understanding of him go deeper. Before, he only thought that Lang Lang was a person with good piano skills, and with a little luck, he achieved fame in later generations. But now it seems that his respect and love for music from the bottom of his heart is the most fundamental reason for his success.

Everyone likes to get together, and foreigners are no exception, counting the little girl just now, there are already four spectators in front of this violinist. Then, more and more people began to stop and enjoy this beautiful song. ..., it was a small band, and in addition to the violinist, there was also a keyboardist, and in front of him was a Roland PF-7 electric piano, but at the moment he was not playing, just standing quietly aside. Seeing the keyboard, Liu Yufan's hand couldn't help but itch slightly. This feeling of street improvisation was new to him and made him want to try it.

Lang Lang noticed Liu Yufan's gaze at Roland Electric Steel from time to time, and couldn't help but smile and said, "What, want to try?" ”

"Hehe, I don't know if it's appropriate, I think it's fun." Liu Yufan looked at Lang Lang and whispered.

"It's okay, suitable, this small band combination is very casual, every pedestrian on the street can go forward to play, go, let foreigners see the "Liang Zhu" played by our Chinese." Lang Lang instigated.

"That's it, Yufan, go up and play a while, we'll cheer you on." Wang Yujia also contributed to the troubles. Anyway, I am not in a hurry to go there to get my badge, and the competition will officially start the day after tomorrow, just to experience the charm of this "city of art".

"Cheng, then you can help me speak, my English is not good." Liu Yufan looked at Lang Lang with some embarrassment and said.

"Haha, no problem, but you have to practice your English. As a professional pianist, I will inevitably travel all over the world in the future, and I can't speak a foreign language. Lang Lang said, stepped forward and briefly exchanged a few words with the musician, the keyboardist immediately smiled and nodded, then stood sideways, let the keyboard out, and made a "please" gesture to Liu Yufan.

And the violin player just now also smiled at Liu Yufan and nodded in a friendly manner, revealing a hint of encouragement.

The goodwill performance of these two musicians made the hesitation and nervousness in Liu Yufan's heart finally disappear. After nodding at the keyboard player, Liu Yufan came to Roland PF-7.

Roland PF-7 is the world's top electric steel, the escapement design maintains the feel of real steel to the greatest extent, so that players can experience a very close playing feeling to real steel, coupled with the "ultra-real piano tone engine", top piano studio multi-layer sampling, all make this electric piano have a good timbre performance. Although it still can't be compared to the real top performance piano, if it is performed on stage, it is good enough.

I heard that the violin player had just finished playing a passage, which was the first theme of "Liang Zhu", and the classic four phrases had not yet ended, and Liu Yufan's hands had already set up the key surface of Roland Electric Steel.

The fingers gently sink the keys, and a gentle piano sound like water gurgles out, making the violin's sound more and more beautiful.

There are two versions of the piano version of "Liang Zhu", and the simpler one is the famous Western pop pianist, known as the "Piano Prince". The version played by Clayderman and the more professional version was jointly adapted by the famous Chinese pianists and composers Chen Gang and He Zhanhao. The latter far surpasses the former in terms of both the fullness of the sound and the integrity of the song. But the most well-known in the world is still Richard. Clayderman's version, the title "Prince of the Piano" is not for nothing.

However, at this moment, Liu Yufan is not playing either of the two versions, he is completely improvised.

Relying on his super hearing, Liu Yufan quickly determined that the key played by the other party was in the key of G, and with the accompaniment of the flowing arpeggios of the left hand, the right hand gently undulated on the keys, bringing up a string of bright double notes or chords, which perfectly expressed the artistic conception of the piece "Liang Zhu". What is even more rare is that the addition of the piano did not affect the violin performance at all, but as if it had been rehearsed countless times, it was perfectly integrated with the sound of the violin. With the addition of piano timbre, this "Liang Zhu" suddenly looks much fuller. ..., you must know that the most well-known version of the piece "Liang Zhu" is the violin version, and the complete violin version of "Liang Zhu" is twenty-nine minutes long and requires the cooperation of a complete large symphony orchestra. At this moment, the version of "Liang Zhu" played by Liu Yufan actually simulated the effect of the entire symphony orchestra, and the violin sound was more beautiful and fuller!

Although due to the limitations of the piano itself, Liu Yufan cannot simulate all the timbre of the symphony orchestra on a single keyboard, but there is no shortage of major parts. Seeing his calm and leisurely appearance, Lang Lang and Wang Yujia's faces were a little moved.

Unlike those who watched the excitement next to them, these two were super professional audiences. Liu Yufan's improvisation, how much gold is in it, the two of them know it as soon as they hear it. Watching Liu Yufan's hands crisscross in front of the piano, especially his left hand, almost across the middle and bass areas of the piano, from time to time doing a large-span throwing, it is actually while maintaining the arpeggio continuously, and adding a BASS timbre, although it doesn't sound obvious, but both of them know how difficult it is to play this BASS effect under this kind of improvisation!

"This Liu Yufan, I haven't seen him for a few months, and his level seems to have improved a lot." Listening to the strange feeling revealed in Liu Yufan's casual piano sound, Lang Lang's gaze at him became more solemn.

Perridge. Ben is a violinist with the Utrecht City Symphony Orchestra and is also the orchestra's principal violinist. Outside of work, his biggest hobby is performing these open-air performances with his friends. In the past few days, he has no performance assignments, and as usual, he and his friend Jace go to the vicinity of the Music Square for a small performance, showing a Chinese piece he learned when he was working with a violinist from a treasure island in China not long ago. Unexpectedly, it didn't take long to attract a generous Chinese to play with him. And what shocked him was that the pianist from China actually used an electronic piano to play the charm of the entire symphony orchestra!

"Who is this young man?" As Perridge played, he looked at the young man from the East in front of him with some curiosity.
