Chapter 65: Madness and Reflection (6k)

"Huh? Do you know where Fu Tune is? ”

Looking at the eyes of everyone, He Shen thought about it and hesitated: "Maybe? ”

"Perhaps?" The crowd was puzzled.

"Hmm...... I probably, maybe, maybe, almost, barely, know a little...... Where is Fu tuned? ”

Looking at everyone's increasingly unkind eyes, He Shen couldn't help but smile bitterly and immediately raised his hand in surrender.

"Okay, okay, I said, I do have a little bit of information, but I'm going to go and see Fu Tiao's situation now, and I'll talk to you later......"

With that, He Shen turned around and went out, ready to look for Fu Diao.

But after walking a few steps, he walked back, licked his face and smiled at the counselor: "Lao Yao, lend me the car, I don't have money to eat and die, borrow some." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Counselor Yao looked helpless, but seeing that all the teachers around him were looking at him, he could only sigh and throw away the car keys; "Go early and come back early, find it and talk to us."

"Definitely, definitely!"

After that, He Shen went out again, found Counselor Yao's car, and walked towards the place where he had taken Fu Diao before.

Soon, his car stopped at the door of the factory area, said hello to the security guard there, walked into the factory office, and took the elevator to the ground.

Previously, he took Fu Tiao to enter through the underground parking garage because the factory was closed on the weekend, and the office door could not be entered.

Now on weekdays, the door to the office is open, and he naturally does not park in from the ground floor, but goes straight to the main road.

When he walked underground, the sound of the piano came to his ears vaguely through the glass, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and walked forward quickly, and when he walked to his piano studio, Fu Tune was still practicing on the piano.

From the time he brought Fu Diao to practice in this place, it has been almost ten days.

In the past ten days, Fu Diao is still in this place, hasn't he left at all?

He Shen was a little surprised, but he was not particularly surprised for a while when he thought that he seemed to have practiced so desperately in the past.

However, looking at Fu Tune's appearance, he is not the kind of person who is rich, nor is he the kind of person whose family lives in Haicheng, he is more of an ordinary family, and he has a little talent for music, so he came to Haicheng Conservatory of Music to study.

And the distance between Haicheng Conservatory of Music and this place basically spans the entire Haicheng, and it took him more than an hour to drive to get there, and it is impossible for Fu Tune to practice back and forth every day.

He Shen originally thought that Fu Diao's practice would be almost two days, but who would have thought that the result would be ...... Fu Diao practiced directly for ten days?

It's a bit long and a bit big......

Just as he was about to pass, a man in a worker's uniform walked by whistling, and when he saw He Shen, his eyes lit up and he waved his hand.

"Yo, Mr. He, it's not easy, the father of the gold owner came to visit the studio?"

"Wang Gong, it's early" He Shen nodded lightly at the man and smiled friendlyly.

This person is the pianist in his studio, Engineer Wang.

The person in charge of polishing the grand piano shell wears almost the same overalls every day, looking like a hanger, but the work on his hands is very hard.

Basically, it can be said that all the best works that are sold are basically the shells he polishes.

He Shen looked at Wang Gong, glanced at Fu Diao in the room again, and said hesitantly.

"Wang Gong, let me ask you, that's it, he'...... Have you been practicing at that place all the time? ”

"Who? Oh, Moll, he's been practicing in this place. ”

β€œMollοΌŸβ€ He Shen didn't react for a while.

"That's right" Wang Gong nodded without any hesitation and explained: "Isn't his name Fu Diao?" We wanted to call him Minor, and then we thought that wasn't Minor? In German, it's called Moll, and after thinking about it, Minor and Moll are still talking about it, and then we keep calling him moll. ”

"This ......"

He Shen didn't know what to say for a while.

Fortunately, Fu Tune is relatively young, and can be called a minor key, if he is older, will he be called a major key? And then it becomes Major, horse feet? Or Dur, DΓΌrr?

The brain circuits of those people in his studio who are nicknamed are really ......

He Shen pretended not to hear Wang Gong's words and continued to ask.

"You've heard a lot of great people come looking for piano, so how do you feel...... How has Fu Tiao been practicing lately? ”

"Hey, we're just a group of big old and rough ......" Wang Gong looked at He Shen's eyes that rolled into the sky, couldn't help coughing twice, and continued: "Well, how to say it, the playing is not bad, and there is a bit of a gap with those old gods who came before, in the younger generation of pianists, and even those pianists who are directly before the age of 30, there are few who can compete with Fu Diao, if the world is counted, there may be more than a dozen?" ”

"Huh? So sure? ”

"Hey, I just feel from the few people I've heard, after all, I'm a piano spicy chicken, don't count on me."

"Huh...... The winner of the Young Pianist Contest is Spicy Chicken, right? I'll report you when I get back. ”

"Cut, no kidding,, I'm going to work."

Wang Gong waved his hand at He Shen, walked slowly towards the studio with his hands in his pockets, and suddenly remembered something halfway through, turned his head to look at He Shen, and said again.

"I don't know what you're trying to do with him, but I have to tell you, he's serious."

"Huh?"

"I came here at about twelve o'clock on Monday, although it was not early, but he had already warmed up the piano at that time, and he was constantly practicing the details of the music, and I was tired of listening to some details, and he could still play extremely seriously, without any trace of irritability, until the detail was perfected, and he also practiced many times to ensure that every time it was perfect, he would continue to walk, and when I left at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, he was still practicing."

Wang Gong glanced at Fu Tune, who was still practicing, shrugged his shoulders, and said casually: "Although I don't know about you professional pianists, but he is indeed very serious, and he plays musically very well, even if he is on the Chopin International Piano Competition, there should not be much problem in passing the first round to enter the second round, tsk, I really envy you geniuses." ”

After that, he glanced at He Shen, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Right?" Teacher Ho? ”

"Well, yes, but ......"

"But?"

"But you just said that you only came to work at twelve o'clock on Monday, I wrote it down, the full attendance award you gave me this month is gone, I'll get a punch card machine and put it in the house, pinch the hemp floor, go to work at nine o'clock, you come over at twelve o'clock, and leave at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, right?"

"Huh? No, I ......"

"Don't say it, you wait to deduct the bonus, bastard!"

He Shen pretended to be angry and walked past Wang Gong's side and walked towards the house.

When he reached the door, he couldn't help but listen to his steps.

Just hearing it was just a vague point, he just felt that Fu Tune seemed to have improved a lot.

But what if you open the glass door and the music is still the same as before?

Now it feels like opening a blind box, which makes He Shen hesitate a little.

But soon, he shook his head slightly, and directly reached out to push the glass door open.

Wow!

The moment he pushed open the glass, the sound of music rushed out in an instant, as if he had opened a valve on the sea.

He Shen was stunned a little bit.

Fu Tiao puts all his attention on the music, and the countless details in the music make Fu Tiao extremely fascinating.

He is immersed in the music, and with every practice he can feel the progress of the music in his hands.

Just like leveling up in online games, the continuous progress brought by continuous practice has given Fu Diao countless positive feedback, so that he has no way to notice He Shen's arrival.

He Shen just stood behind Fu Tune, waiting for him to stop playing, without saying a word.

He didn't feel anything when he heard Wang Gong say that Fu Diao's piano practice was a bit crazy, but when he really stood behind Fu Diao, he realized that what Wang Gong said was not a little exaggerated.

Even...... Still a little shrinking?

There is a limit to people's attention, and not everyone can maintain infinite concentration to practice, and there are often efficient and inefficient practices in practice.

What appeared in front of He Shen at this moment was a perfect and efficient piano practice, and according to the display on his mobile phone, Fu Diao had at least practiced efficiently for more than half an hour.

In addition, when he came over before, Fu Tune didn't stop.

According to a rough estimate, Fu Diao's efficient practice lasted at least a full hour!

After more than an hour of efficient practice, He Shen couldn't even think about what Fu Diao could practice.

In the little time he had been listening, he had already noticed that some of the problems in Fu Tune's music had been improved and were moving in a better direction.

Another half an hour passed, and after an hour and a half of Fu Diao's efficient practice, Fu Diao's hand finally left the keyboard, got up to soothe his muscles, twisted his waist, and turned his head to prepare to go to the toilet.

As a result, as soon as he turned his head, he found that He Shen was already standing behind him, looking at him with a complicated expression.

Fu Tiao asked blankly, "Teacher He?" Mr. He, when did you come? ”

He Shen didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "Have you practiced...... How long has it been? ”

"How long have I been practicing? Mr. He, what do you mean...... How long have I been practicing since morning? Or how long has it been since the break just now? ”

"How long have you been practicing since you just rested?"

"Hmm...... I don't know, it doesn't feel like it lasts long, maybe an hour or two? ”

"I've been standing behind you for more than an hour from the time I came over to stand behind you, how can it only be an hour or two?"

"So...... How long should I be? ”

Fu Tiao looked at He Shen with a helpless expression.

"I never look at my watch when I practice, I practice until I'm tired before resting, and I continue to practice after resting, I don't know how long I've been practicing?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

He Shen was speechless for a while, he didn't know what to say, he looked at Fu Diao's sincere gaze, couldn't help but take a deep breath, and sighed slowly.

"Okay, so let me change the question, how many works have you practiced? From the first time you came to the piano room that night to now, how many pieces have you completed in ten days? ”

Fu Diaopo pulled his hand, raised his head and thought for a long time, then shook his head slightly: "More than a dozen, I don't know, I don't count." ”

"Huh? What do you mean? Didn't count? ”

"Well, the main reason is that the first few days of practice took a long time, and I practiced for several hours every day, but the number of works practiced was not much."

Fu Tiao sat on the piano bench again, anyway, it was rest time, so he pulled He Shen directly.

Fu Tiao raised his eyebrows and said casually.

"From the first day, I didn't actually finish any of the pieces, I wanted to finish Chopin's breakthrough Chopin Etude Op25-11, but because the interval was a bit long, it took me a long time to regain my previous feeling, and it took me a whole day to get that piece completely done."

"Then I thought about it, just a simple Chopin Op25-11 Winter Wind is not enough, because this work has been used in the qualifiers, so I can't use this work in the first round, but if I choose other works, I don't know what works to choose, Teacher He, you are not there, I thought about it and used the easiest way to practice all the works, and when the time comes, no matter which work Teacher He wants me to choose, I can take it out very easily."

"Therefore, I started practicing directly from Chopin's Etude Op10-1, and it was still difficult at first, after all, I listened to it less, practiced less, and the overall feeling was not particularly accurate, and there were traces of the previous works, but after more than a day and almost two days of practice, I gradually figured out what was common in the works I played, and finally ...... on Monday It was about Monday when I finished that piece completely. ”

"And once I finished Chopin's Etude Op10-1, the rest of the road became much easier."

"Now that I've found my way, I'll just follow my path and keep going, Chopin's Etude Op10-2 I've been practicing for about a day, 10-3, I've been practicing for less than a day, 10-4 is more than half a day, and 10-5 is nearly half a day."

"I basically moved forward at the pace of one piece in half a day, all the way to the Chopin etudes I am now practicing, Op 25-3."

Fu Tuo's expression was extremely certified, but he said in a slightly relaxed tone to He Shen.

"Give me another week or so, no, maybe less than a week, I should be able to finish Chopin's etudes completely, and then I just need to rearrange it, make an overall plan for the emotions in Chopin's etudes, and my complete set of Chopin's etudes should be completed."

"The last practice time should be about a week."

After that, Fu Tiao looked at He Shen and smiled.

"How about Teacher He, my progress should be okay, right?"

"Well...... It should, probably, maybe, could ......"

He Shen looked at Fu Tuo, who was unaware of it in front of him, and didn't know what to say for a while.

More than a week, almost two weeks, to complete all of Chopin's etudes?

Are you kidding?

It's just fast, after all, there are still many people who can directly sight-read and play those works, but you are special...... In two weeks and half a month, you have all the works done?

To the extent he had just heard, if He Shen was allowed to practice by himself, he might not be able to do it all in half a month.

It's hard to even have one capital a day.

That's what I just saw......

Fu tunes him...... Really a person?

What are you kidding?

He Shen really wanted Fu Tiao to say to him, saying that what he had just heard was a joke, but unfortunately, it wasn't.

Fu adjusted him to be extremely serious.

It's obvious.

Fu transferred him and did it.

There was silence in the room, He Shen didn't know what to say, Fu Diao didn't know what He Shen wanted to ask, the two of them just stood there and didn't speak.

He Shen's whole person is really a little numb, he also knows that Fu Tune's foundation is better, his performance in music is very strong, and his handling of timbre is also very strong, and he even feels that Fu Tune is also very strong in his musical understanding.

But all this is not the reason why Fu Diao was able to make such a high result in such a short period of time?

This one is also outrageous.

Even when I was studying in Germany, when I practiced Chopin the fastest, I didn't have such a fast speed.

But......

It seems that there is a problem that He Shen did not expect?

He Shen took a deep breath and looked at Fu Diao a little helplessly.

"Well, I probably know your current situation, and the main reason why I came to you today is...... You didn't ask for leave last week, and the teachers in the school couldn't find you, and there was no leave slip for you, so I went to the counselor, and I happened to go to your counselor for something, and I just learned about the situation, so I came to you by the way to see what your situation was, but I didn't expect you to ...... now."

He Shen's face was very complicated, and he pursed his lips, thinking about how to summarize it in a way that was as accurate as possible.

"I really didn't expect you to progress so fast? It's a little bit faster...... Outrageous? ”

"Actually, it's okay...... I've actually seen all of my works before, and I've thought about them before, but I don't have an accurate feeling, and now that I've caught that feeling, the rest should be the work of water milling. ”

Fu Tune breathed a long sigh of relief, turned around and picked up the sheet music placed on the piano stand from behind his back, and handed it to He Shen.

"I made a lot of marks on it, and at the beginning I went to understand what Chopin was thinking when he was writing these works, and then after I took classes with Mr. He, I began to listen to other people's recordings and think about one thing they had in common with Chopin."

"Their Chopins all have a very sad, a little blue feeling, but some people are dark blue, some people are light blue, in this blue, many people will have a little bit of family and country feelings in it, and some people will choose to add grief, all kinds of emotions gathered in it."

"At that time, although I listened to a lot of ideas, but I didn't start playing immediately, and after Mr. Shan Yi took me to tell the correct analysis of a work, I had a greater improvement in Chopin's works, with the work itself as the skeleton, Chopin as flesh and blood, and history as the shell to carve out my own Chopin."

"This way of practicing has been improving, but after I finished playing, I always felt that I was a little bit different from what I wanted, as if there was still a thin barrier, and when I listened to a lot of Mr. He's works, I knew what the gap between me and music was."

Fu Tune's expression became slightly excited, he took two steps forward, picked up the sheet music in his hand, and flipped to the place where he played Fu Tune before, Chopin Etude Op25-11, which is the winter wind.

"Teacher He, do you remember this winter wind? I played it for you before. ”

He Shen nodded: "Well, remember, what's wrong?" ”

Fu Tuo became even more excited, he stuffed the score into He Shen's hand, pointed to the content on it and continued.

"It's control! The powerful controls make the music more subtle, make the contrast between the music more obvious, and make the music more perfect! I found a way to play, so I adapted everything I had played before. ”

"From the first day I started to practice Chopin's Winter Wind, after all, this piece is a piece that I played on stage, so I started by looking for the feeling on the stage, starting with the most obvious contrasts, and then gradually deepening the contrast into other works, which is what I said before."

"It's a really great feeling, I need more time, just give me more time and I should be able to finish all the work in my hands!"

Looking at Fu Tuo, who was already a little nervous, He Shen sighed and spoke.

"Okay, let's take a break, you've been practicing for more than a week, it's time to take a break."

"Huh? Rest? Why take a break? Fu was puzzled: "If I continue to practice, my Chopin etudes will be completed, and then Chopin's nocturne, Chopin's ballade, Chopin's scherzo, Chopin's polona, Chopin's Mazurka, Chopin's sonata, Chopin's concerto, etc., etc., it is now more than May, and there are about four months before the competition, and after deducting a little time in between, I have about three months left, where do I have time to rest?" I ......"

"Fu tune! Didn't you notice...... Have you gone a little crazy now? ”

He Shen interrupted Fu Tuo's words, his expression was very serious: "I know that the feeling of being improving is very good, but I have a question, what did you want to play Chopin for from the beginning?" ”

"I play Chopin for?" Fu Diao was stunned, and was a little confused for a while: "I for, find my Chopin?" ”

"But why did you find your Chopin?"

"Because...... I'm going to the Chopin International Piano Competition, and Argerich says that I'm the only one in my music, and that without Chopin, I might not have gotten far. ”

"Then why did you go to the Chopin International Competition?"

"Because ......"

Fu Tiao paused, and he froze suddenly.

What exactly did he participate in the Chopin International Piano Competition for?

My favorite from the beginning is jazz, my favorite is the kind of casual music, participating in the Chopin International Piano Competition, also because when I woke up, I met Mr. Brodz is a bit like Danny, he is very excited about his participation in the Chopin International Piano Competition, so I participated casually.

And then I fell in.

This sense of getting to the bottom of classical music is interesting, just as interesting as jazz.

After all, one pursues depth and the other pursues breadth, and the two do not contradict each other.

What is it that you have pursued, that you have been practicing in this place?

Is it Chopin?

Fu Tiao thought about it and rejected the idea very clearly.

What I am pursuing is definitely not Chopin, what I am pursuing should be the depth in music.

When did you fall completely into Chopin's trap and be full of Chopin's?

Fu Tune forgot.

He Shen watched Fu Diao fall into deep thought, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, reached out and pulled Fu Diao's arm, patted him on the back, and said helplessly.

"Rest well, don't be too anxious, I told you from the beginning, Chopin...... It's just a stop in your life, and Chopin is definitely not all of your music. ”

"There are so many composers in the world, and there are so many perfect works they have created."

"We can't limit ourselves to a single composer, a top pianist can be famous with one composer, but he can't be good at just that composer."

"Without a pianist, he can only be regarded as an ordinary pianist."

Fu Tuo was silent, looked at He Shen in front of him, and nodded slowly.

"Hmm"
