Chapter 111: Liszt's Ghost Fire (1)

This piece is none other than Liszt's "Ghost Fire".

Shen Wuhuan is not a fool, since he boasted about this kind of Haikou, he naturally would not choose a simple song to let himself fall into a place of no return!

So if you are looking for the most difficult etude among classical composers, then this "Ghost Fire" is definitely the first to bear the brunt.

Franz Liszt, a famous Hungarian pianist and composer, is known as the "King of the Piano".

At the same time, his teacher Czerny was called the "King of Etudes", and Liszt was deeply influenced by Czerny.

His works show the pioneering nature of Liszt's piano technique creation, and the vividness and richness of the musical image.

It can even be said that he created the era of piano virtuosity, and it was he who raised the expressiveness of piano art!

"Ghost Fire" comes from the fifth piece of "Liszt's Supertechnical Etudes", and is named because of the sound clusters that appear everywhere like "ghost fire".

This piece was once called "the most difficult etude in the world" by Rachmaninoff, and was once called the "Everest" of piano technique by the world, which shows its high difficulty.

There are many people who can play the "Ghost Fire" in the twelve "Super Technique Etudes" in the previous life, but if it rises to the level of interpretation, there are very few people who can complete it.

And the reason for this is that the dark and weird color background of the whole song and the supernatural drift shown under the theme of "ghost fire" are extremely difficult to grasp!

Shen Wuhuan brought it to such an ignorant world, and he firmly believed that it was a pipe dream for the compilers of those textbooks to want to play this song!

This world, as shown above, is a world that does not believe in "finger technology", preferring elegant melodies and rich colors.

In fact, at the same time, Liszt was also disgusted by many well-known musicians at that time, but this did not affect Liszt's status, and it can even be said that he was the most dazzling superstar of his time!

In order to make classical music accessible to more people and become believers in composers, what is wrong with choosing to compromise with audiences who like novelty?

Liszt's dizzying, dazzling piano playing style, extremely fast speed, loud volume, brilliant technique, and wild momentum undoubtedly did not intoxicate the people of the time!

The audience may not understand the music, but they will not be able to resist the visual perception of the performer's fingers flying.

And "Ghost Fire" is extremely difficult at the same time, but also maintains extraordinary artistry and plump musicality, this master style!

The compilers of those textbooks originally thought that Shen Wuhuan would come up with another piece of Chopin's etudes of the same level, and they were feeling that they were in control.

The difficulty of Chopin's etudes is certainly high, but the kind of etudes that rely only on the running of notes and extreme speed are really not the pinnacle of difficulty.

Give them a month or two to immerse themselves in research, and they will be able to play more or less in a good way.

With this kind of unwarranted confidence, they are not afraid of Shen Wuhuan's challenge!

They could well say that it was a new song, and that we needed time to practice it for a month or two, and that was fine.

But when they saw the score, they were stunned!

"I'm X, is this full thirty-second note going to be haunted?"

"I'm a god, this double tone, I'm afraid my hands are going to cramp!"

"What the hell is this fingering marking? Thumb inward? Scale? Arpeggio? You're going to kill me, aren't you? These two hands are lame together, and they are still playing a fart? ”

"This kind of thing can humans really play? Shen Wuhuan is afraid that it is not a score written blindly? ”

Although they said so, they didn't dare to accuse Shen Wuhuan of writing the score blindly.

Shen Wuhuan's identity as a composer belongs to the yellow robe, which is recognized in the circle.

It is also for this reason that they did not dare to make a fuss about Shen Wuhuan's identity as a composer before.

Now the attitude of the insiders is not clear enough, and they don't dare to act rashly.

So what are the insiders doing?

The pianists gathered to study this supertechnical piece, and it was like a smoke in the brain!

Especially in measures 18-26, the singing motive appears here for the first time in the form of the first theme, accompanied by a double note of the right hand, which becomes the peak of the technical difficulty of the whole piece!

This double note is also the most famous double note in the piano literature of the previous life!

This difficulty is still at the beginning, and it is the first theme.

Suddenly everyone shouted at the cheating father: "The first theme is so difficult to play, can't it be played at all, can't the first theme be played at all, so it's still a fart?" ”

Ning Wenlan was also looking at the printed score in a daze at this time.

In front of her stood several men and women, all of whom were compilers of textbooks and had also been affected by this revolution, but because of the influence of the Ning family, they did not participate in the declaration against Shen Wuhuan.

Not participating doesn't mean that they can't hate Shen Wuhuan, what they lost is a lot of silver!

Shen Wuhuan's performance was like a slut holding a silver ticket dangling in front of them and said with a smile: "Look, one million taels of silver tickets, I won't give it to you if I tear it up, hehe!" ”

If they don't die of anger, they have ghosts!

finally waited until Shen Wuhuan himself exposed his flaws, and was about to secretly come up with some small means, but when they saw the score, they were all dumbfounded, and they had no choice but to run to Ning Wenlan.

Kning Vinland is also stupid...

A few people stared at each other at a loss, looking confused, as if the world had stopped.

What is this for? Is this going to destroy the world?

Can you play the piano like this with your hands?

Ning Wenlan felt as if she had been humiliated, and the piano she had practiced for so many years was completely in vain.

It's impossible for her to not have a double tone, but such a dense thirty-second note double tone, such a fast BPM, the strong and weak touch of the key has become a kind of torture.

How can this be played? Maybe slowing down will be able to pop up, but how to speed it up will become a fatal problem!

Ning Wenlan only had one idea at this time, that is, to let Shen Wuhuan explode the video!

There are many people who want to go together with Ning Wenlan, and Shen Wuhuan's Weibo was exploded again.

But this time it's not an insult, it's all kneeling and begging Shen Wuhuan to release a video, they think that as long as they have listened to the video of the composer's performance repeatedly, then they have the possibility of being able to play it!

But will Shen Wuhuan give them this chance?

No, of course not.

The video is of course a good thing for the compilers of the textbooks who are hostile to Shen Wuhuan, with video teaching, at least you can intuitively feel how the music is played, and more importantly, with audio, there are always people who can copy it by hearing.

It was impossible for Shen Wuhuan to give them such an opportunity to hinder her plans.

So she only gave a two-word reply to the flood of comments on Weibo.

"Huh."

Hehe?

Are you a ghost?

If you don't give, you won't give, you actually hehe us?

, I'm so angry!

In this way, "Ghost Fire" becomes a pause in the whole farce, waiting for the next bar note to enter.

It's just that this rest time is a bit long, until...

Half a month later, Shen Wuhuan received a package.
