Sitting down in front of the piano, Chu Yang stretched out his hands and gently covered the keys.

Liszt, a very special composer and pianist. At least in Chu Yang's heart, he thinks so.

The world thinks that this is a pianist who has worked hard all his life to pursue higher piano skills, but only Chu Yang knows that Liszt's works have far more than skills. There is more to it than that, and that's his spiritual world. The first time he played Liszt's work, he felt it.

It is said that Chopin was a piano poet, but in fact, Liszt's ability to write poetry on the piano was no less than that of Chopin. Each of his twelve super-virtuoso piano etudes is a poem.

is like this song "Hunting", although the first impression is "fast", fast from beginning to end, there is no fastest only faster fast, it seems that the whole song is in pursuit of a "fast" word. But if you do play it like that, you're really distorting the tune.

Most pianists fail to understand the poetry of Liszt's works because they can't even reach the most basic techniques, and most of them stop at the exaggerated technique and mistakenly think that this is the whole spirit of Liszt's works, but they are wrong.

Technique is only a means, a means of expressing his inner music.

Ten fingers gently stroked the keys, and with a slight relaxation, the weight of the muscles naturally fell on the key surface, and I clearly felt the just right amount of support transmitted by the key surface.

This old Xinghai 118, under the re-forging of Ou Yezi, a skilled craftsman, has already undergone a reborn change! Beneath its shabby exterior, it has the most gorgeous heart. No less than the feel and tone of a top-notch playing piano!

The melody of "Hunting" naturally appeared in Chu Yang's mind, and he didn't even have to deliberately recall the key and structure of that piece.

Chu Yang memorizes a piece of music and memorizes it in a way that is different from all pianists. People are memorizing music, and he is memorizing music!

For a song, first understand its "shape" from the score. After playing, muscle memory is formed, and its "meaning" is felt in the performance, and finally the "meaning" is forgotten "shape", which is Chu Yang's unique notation method.

If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have been able to produce a sea of piano works. Write them all down!

And for a person who cultivates the way of music, memorizing the meaning of a piece is equivalent to firmly remembering the whole of that tune!

In the specific performance, Chu Yang can even temporarily modify some unreasonable rhythms and notes in the original song. Such a modification seems to be a mistake in the performance. In fact, every revision is the finishing touch, making the original song even more perfect!

And for such a super-fast etude, even if it is an occasional mistake or missing a few notes because of unskillfulness, no one will be able to hear it, let alone Chu Yang's "mistake" of deliberately improving in a better direction.

Chu Yang closed his eyes slightly, his fingertips were close to the key surface, and a huge and incomparably large spiritual power gradually began to communicate with the qin along his fingertips. This old piano of Xinghai has been reborn. At this moment, it seemed to feel Chu Yang's call, and the body of the piano even let out bursts of joyful whispers!

The instrument has an impression with the player, which is a phenomenon that only occurs in the case of an instrument that has produced a vague instrumental spirit. It's like a peerless sword, and you have met a clever swordsman!

The ten fingers fell suddenly, as if they instantly turned into thousands of afterimages, and swept over the keys!

A waterfall of music cascading down your fingertips!

In an instant, the sound of the piano seemed to be like the sun. Fill up the whole room!

Music, music everywhere. The kind of music that makes you can't think about anything else after listening to it, from the ears. From the eyes, from the nose, from the sensory organs of any body, to the body, to the body......

Chu Yang half sat on the piano bench, his legs were freehand one after the other, and his ten fingers were like happy elves, dancing gracefully on the piano keys!

Is it fast?

Perhaps the notes pouring out of your fingertips are so dense that you can think of them as "fast".

However, the music flowing from your fingertips does not give you the slightest feeling of "fast" or "urgent".

The left arm is freehand on the keys, and a series of fine finger movements are completed as if they were natural, bringing up a soft arpeggio like a rainbow. The sound was a string, like a shining band of light, a string of beautiful wind chimes......

Beautiful music, like a slowly unfolding picture scroll, delicate and beautiful, atmospheric and chic!

The seven examiners present, including Chen Nan, the youngest teacher, are all elites in the piano industry. They have all heard and played this song "Hunting". It can be said that anyone can play this piece smoothly and correctly, which is also the most basic requirement for them to become a teacher of the piano department of the Central Conservatory of Music.

However, listening to this "Hunting" at the moment, they feel like they have heard this song for the first time!

How is it completely different from what you remember?

Did this young man play the wrong one?

No, his playing was smooth and gorgeous, natural and precise, and with their discerning golden ears, not even the slightest misnote could be heard. You know, it's not easy to hear the wrong note for such a complex tune, and all they rely on is their impression of the tune. A complete and correct piece of music is like a work of art, flawless, giving the impression of a whole. And the slightest mistake will make this work of art flawed, so that people can see it at a glance and hear it with one ear.

But at this moment, this piece did not bring them a little bit of strangeness. The melody, the rhythm, the dynamics, the expressions, all impeccable.

But why is it completely different from my impression?

While indulging in the beautiful sound of the piano, the seven teachers were unconsciously thinking about this question.

It's love xù!

That's right, it's love!

This "Hunting", every phrase, every note, is familiar to them, but under the hands of this young man, connected together, it exudes a completely different taste! That's the love in music!

In the "Hunting" that they had heard and played before, it was always full of gorgeous, delicate show-offs, full of exaggerated finger movements, and they once thought that this was the essence of the super etude, otherwise, how could it be called a "super" etude?

But at this moment, this piece of music expresses a completely different kind of love under the hands of this young man.

There are no flashy techniques, or rather, the techniques have been completely hidden behind the music, becoming imperceptible. A sense of picture that is light and breezy and idyllic is an impression that the music as a whole brings to them!

They no longer have free time to think about or evaluate the good or bad of this performance, and at this moment, like ordinary piano lovers, they are completely immersed in the kind of love brought by this "Hunting"!

Chu Yang's hands gently rose and fell on the keys, and the sensitive keys faithfully reflected the player's intentions and transformed them into strings of smart notes. This old Xinghai 118 seems to have suddenly transformed gorgeously at this moment, from an ugly duckling to a white swan, and the gorgeous brilliance it exudes is unbelievable!

The song "Hunting" was only more than four minutes long, and Chu Yang almost used subconscious movements to complete the song perfectly. From the beginning to the end, his attention was not on his hands, on his technical movements. For him, a qiē technical obstacle in the field of piano performance has long ceased to exist, and all that remains is the table xiàn, the table xiàn......

And his semi-detached mental state is also a state that all pianists dream of.

The highest level of piano technique is to forget jì technique! Because, a qiē skill, are all for the music table xiàn service!

But it's a pity that most people have never escaped the shackles of the word "skill" in their lives!

And now, Chu Yang uses the most authentic expression to let these piano authorities of the piano department of the Central Conservatory of Music interpret what it means to "forget jì skills"!

This "hunting" is completely flowing from the heart!

At this moment, the leisurely hunting and the beautiful tranquility of the idyllic scenery that Liszt wanted to express in the music perfectly overlapped with the music at Chu Yang's fingertips!

If at this moment, Liszt was reborn and heard the song "Hunting" played by Chu Yang, I am afraid that he would be moved to tears and become a bosom friend!

For more than 100 years, countless pianists have misinterpreted and misunderstood his works, and today, in such a performance, they have been broken and shattered!

This is the real "Hunting", this is the music world he really wants to express!

Even if he was asked to play it himself, I am afraid that he could not play it better than this young man, because his skill was already impeccable and perfect!

In four and a half minutes, the song ended. The last chord, like morning mist in the wind, gradually dissipated. The dizzyingly fast drop key finally turned into a string of notes full of a sense of tranquility, and the extreme stillness that came out of the polar motion table resided in everyone's hearts at this moment, becoming an unforgettable memory for these piano education authorities in their lifetime!

The sound of the piano had stopped, but the whole classroom fell into absolute silence.

No one spoke, and the eyes of the seven teachers were still in a semi-wandering state. Their thoughts are still immersed in the artistic conception of this song "Hunting", and they can't extricate themselves!

Chu Yang pushed away the piano bench, stood up, looked at Chen Nan who was in a state of dissociation, and asked with a smile: "I'm done playing, can I move on to the next song?" (To be continued)
