Fu Tiao sat there without any movement, he knew that he shouldn't say anything at this time.

He Shen must have had his thoughts when he came to him, if his previous choice was correct, He Shen would naturally not have any changes, and he would still play in the same way as before.

Now that he's coming, there must be something wrong with the teaching method behind him.

So...... What's the problem?

Fu Tiao looked at He Shen, waiting for the answer he gave.

He Shen also knew that Fu Tiao wouldn't say anything at this time, so he just smiled casually and continued.

"The group of people in the Chopin International Piano Organizing Committee seems to have a little problem recently, they have more requirements for the feeling of Chopin among the players, and there are not many requirements for the personal characteristics of the players themselves, it seems to be like this, and according to my personal calculations, the current ratio of the two sides may have completely reached the level of two to eight, that is, only about 20% of the people will want the players to have their own personal things, and the remaining 80% want the players of the Chopin International Piano Competition, More in line with Chopin. ”

"At least...... Looking at the scores, it looks like this. ”

Fu Tiao listened to He Shen's speech, and couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect He Shen to give such a conclusion?

"Selection Criteria of the Piano Organizing Committee...... Will it change? And in a direction that is not in my favor, is it developing? ”

Fu Tiao hesitated to confirm to He Shen.

He Shen and Jiang Ruijia both gave similar answers, but Jiang Ruijia was more optimistic, she thought that there were still thirty percent of the jury who liked their personal style.

But He Shen is different, he feels that there are only two percent left.

In fact, the group of people around the world who pay attention to the Chopin International Piano Competition have similar thoughts about the Organizing Committee of the Chopin International Piano Competition.

A large group of people led by Jiang Ruijia thought that it would be thirty percent, or even forty percent.

A group of people led by He Shen will feel about 20%.

There are also a very small number of people who will feel ...... There are only two or three judges left in the Chopin International Piano Competition who support the contestants' self-expression.

For example...... Argerich.

And Li Diyun, who may be a judge this year?

They are even more pessimistic about the Chopin International Piano Competition, and even feel that the Chopin International Piano Competition will gradually die out, even if they have financial support, there is no way to continue to be the name of the world's top music competition, and they will not be able to produce the most awesome pianist.

Looking at Fu Tuo, who had a hint of vigilance, He Shen had a casual smile on his face.

He didn't feel embarrassed at all because the judges only had 20% left, but spoke casually.

"Doesn't that sound desperate? It seems that if you just go to the competition, only 20% of the judges will give you a relatively high score, and the rest of the judges will give you a relatively low score, right? ”

"Hmm." Fu Tiao nodded, looked at He Shen, and said softly: "It sounds like this, so what should I do now?" Do I need to change my thoughts on music? Or ......"

"How? No, no, no, you didn't understand what I meant at all, I told you from the beginning, you don't need to change your direction at all, our future is not just the Chopin International Piano Competition, but the wider world of classical music, you know? Although the vast majority of our judges can't win it, we still have a great chance to win over those who have a relatively small number of judges, don't you think...... Only we can see the direction of the current Chopin International Piano Competition, right? ”

He Shen got up as he spoke, walked to the window, and looked at the scenery of Haicheng outside the window, and the whole person was extremely comfortable.

"Obviously, many of the judges who insist that the contestants should have their own style have begun to notice this, and everyone is human, whether it is a foreigner or an East Asian person, and anyone can perceive whether other people's values are similar to their own, or if they are very different."

"And they will also perceive a problem, that is, they are moving in a more scarce direction, and eventually go to extinction, so that only a few people in the Chopin International Piano Competition will continue to support it, and the remaining ninety percent, if not ninety-tenth, or even ninety-five judges, will become judges in the traditional Chopin direction."

"So what do you think happens when they notice it?"

He Shen turned around, leaned against the iron railing in front of the window, and looked at Fu Tuo with a smile, his eyes full of strange charm.

He seemed to like the situation, the two sides fought to the death, and he watched the play on the sidelines.

Fu Tiao did not answer.

He Shen whispered to Fu Tuo.

"They're going to have a final wave of struggle."

"Even the judges who support all the works should be Chopin's feelings, their butts are not completely sitting on Chopin's side, you know, the neutral, silent ones are still the majority."

Although it seems that the proportion of those who support the performer's own thoughts is two, and the proportion of those who support the performer's own thinking as much as possible is eighty, in fact, the formation of the player's own thoughts will not change, and the group of people who support the expression of Chopin as much as possible is only ...... Three or four percent, the rest of the group of people, the butt is slightly biased towards more Chopin rather than more personal judges. ”

"These people are still within the scope of the fight, they also have a very strong affection for Chopin, and they can't be completely biased towards either side."

"Although it is more advantageous to simply play Chopin at present, for example, my performance method will be very helpful for Chopin to get a high score in the International Piano Competition, but when it comes to the competition, there is still a possibility of success in the music that insists on itself! After all...... As long as you're good enough! ”

"It's just a pity that I'm too old to even apply, if only I could have built my Chopin as soon as I entered the university."

He Shen couldn't help but sigh when he talked about this place, and his eyes became a little helpless.

He is now in his forties, and he is a young piano teacher at the Haicheng Conservatory of Music, and he often gives concerts outside, which sounds very good and powerful, but in fact, he ...... Not much use.

If he doesn't have any adventures later, for example, the world's top pianist suddenly doesn't want to play a concert, and gives him the concert as he did before.

And he shines in those piano competitions.

Otherwise, he would not have had any chance of becoming a top pianist.

Even if the strength is enough, it is useless, and there are more than one or two pianists in the world.

To become famous as soon as possible, or like Li Diyun, he won the championship of the Chopin International Piano Competition directly when he was just an adult, and made his debut directly around the world after a few years of precipitation.

Or, like Lang Liangyue, he was signed by a Jewish agency, slowly waiting for the opportunity, constantly participating in various music festivals, and waiting for a suitable opportunity to appear in front of the world.

But no matter what, the two of them have a relatively unified, that is, they are very young when they became famous.

Therefore, He Shen felt very helpless, his physical functions were gradually degrading, and the emotions of the works he could play could be expressed more delicately, but the techniques in his hands were regressing little by little.

It's helpless, but there's nothing you can do.

He Shen looked at Fu Diao, his expression was extremely solemn, and he said softly.

"Anyway, I'm here for this, I'm afraid you think that the situation of this year's competition has changed, and you kind of want to change your course and make your music more in line with Chopin."

"But I don't seem to think that much about you like this, so I'll come over and talk to you."

"Don't think too much, practice well, follow your own route, you've found your own route, just take it one step at a time."

"Your strength is enough to make you to the end, you don't have to worry about anything else, we will help you complete those superfluous things!"

"Practice well, think well, and believe in your own music."

"After all...... Chopin is just a shell, and what you need to do more is to tell your own music through Chopin's shell. ”

After that, He Shen patted Fu Diao's shoulder and turned around to leave without any hesitation.

Fu Tiao sat in place and thought for a long time, but he didn't understand what He Shen came to do with him.

I came over and said a lot of things, and then told myself that I could play it with peace of mind, and I didn't care about anything else.

But...... If he doesn't come, he should continue to play like that, right?

Fu Tuo shook his head, there was no way to understand He Shen's thoughts at all, after all, he was thinking from his side.

As long as the level of self-play is high enough, to be able to express Chopin and at the same time to express himself perfectly, then it is enough.

Fu Tune went to Chopin only because he felt that deepening classical music was very interesting, as interesting as jazz, so he went to participate, and Fu Tune didn't have any idea about the relationship between the judges' butts sitting there.

But......

Fu Diao turned to look at the collection of works He Shen brought him, and looked at it thoughtfully.

Maybe coming over to give him the works he needed to prepare for the competition is what He Shen wanted to do, as for discussing the organizing committee of the Chopin International Piano Competition with himself, it was just a small talk in He Shen's spare time.

It sounds like he cares, but in fact, He Shen doesn't care at all?

Fu Tiao looked at He Shen's appearance, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

In this case, He Shen asked himself not to care, and he really didn't need to care.

After all, he had no way to change these things, so he could only accept them silently.

Therefore, Fu Tiao shook his head slightly, picked up the work He Shen gave him, and flipped through it casually.

There is no surprise in the choice given to him by He Shen in the final round, it is still Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 1, this concerto may be basically a work that more than ninety percent of the contestants will choose, this score is no different from the score He Shen gave him last time.

In other words, it is the book He Shen gave him last time, with the score marked by the band, after all, he had already selected this work with He Shen as his future work, if he can enter the final round, then he can play this work in the final round and show his most perfect state.

And if you take a closer look at the Chopin International Piano Competition, you will find that the vast majority of the contestants basically choose this one, and you rarely see some people who choose Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 2.

Those who choose the Second Piano Concerto are largely the opposite of the one Chopin Ballade for Piano No. 3 that Fu played in the first round.

Basically, it's about seeing if we can create a future.

After all, the upper limit of the Second Piano Concerto is much lower than that of the First Piano Concerto, and you must know that the Second Piano Concerto is Chopin's early work, and Chopin wrote the First Piano Concerto after writing the Second Piano Concerto.

As I have said before, because of some special reasons of Chopin's time, the reason why the second work became the first piece was mainly because his first work was not liked much, and not many people wanted it, so it was later included in it and became the second piano concerto.

The main reason for these players to play the Piano Concerto No. 2 is to win a stable word.

Although the probability of being brilliant is low and the probability of being bad is high, you must know that the contestants who can enter the final round of the Chopin International Piano Competition will definitely have no dishes, most of them will be the kind of special god type of people, and the second piano concerto they play cannot be too bad, and they will definitely be able to show the second concerto to their due level.

However, this basically means that those who choose the second piano concerto are more or less abandoning the title and are moving towards the top few places.

At this level, the upper limit of the piano concerto is simply not to exceed Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 1, and at the same time, the scalability of this work is completely inferior to Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 1.

He Shen intends to let Fu Diao sprint towards the highest peak, and Fu Diao's personal style is relatively unique, which is completely different from those particularly pure Chopin, He Shen will definitely not let Fu Diao seek stability, which is why He Shen asked Fu Diao to choose Chopin's First Piano Concerto as the final work.

Fu Tiao put this work aside and looked at the third round of works.

Chopin's Mazurka, Op 33, a total of four pieces, this is a masterpiece of Chopin's middle period, a set of works in which Chopin's style is becoming more and more obvious.

Sonata in B flat minor op35, this is Chopin's Piano Sonata No. 2, which includes the funeral one.

Lord bless Poland; , This is a posthumous work, without any number, Fu Tiao looked at this work a little stunned.

However, there is a line written on the cover of this work, which was written by He Shen.

"Play this piece with the next piece without interruption."

Fu Tune immediately flipped down to a book, and sure enough, he turned to the next work, the "Heroic" Polonaise op53 in A-flat major.

The most surprising part of the third round was the one God Bless Poland, while the others were a little mediocre.

But it's also normal, after all, you don't know how many times Chopin's works have been played, and all the works you hear at the Chopin International Piano Competition, except for some early children's works, you can turn to the recordings of Chopin's works.

No matter how powerful and powerful the work is, it will become a little mediocre in the future, after all, there are really too many people who play it.

Of course, if your own level of strength is in place, then it is not too much of a problem.

These works that have already been badly played can also be shown to be more powerful.

After sorting out this set of works, Fu Tiao placed them next to Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 1 and continued to look at the works of the second round of the competition.

The entries in the second round were much simpler.

In other words, the first and second rounds are actually a continuation of the qualifiers.

The third round of works required was a number of large works such as sonatas, mazurkas, polona, etc.

The qualifiers, the first and second rounds, are selected from Chopin's etudes, Chopin's ballades, Chopin's scherzos, Chopin's rondos and other works, which are different from the qualifiers.

Except for the Etude Nocturne, which must be embodied in the first round, the others are not very demanding.

Therefore, He Shen did not tell Fu Tune what to play in the first and second rounds in the rest of the works, but completely piled them together.

The etude that He Shen chose for Fu Tune is Etude Op10-4, nicknamed: Torrent.

The other is the etude Op25-12, nicknamed, The Sea.

I don't know why He Shen's works for Fu Tuo are all related to water, maybe he feels that the feeling of the sea in his music is particularly strong? Or is it something else?

Fu Tiao looked at the two etudes in his hand and couldn't help but think so.

However, in the qualifiers, he played Chopin's black keys and winter wind, and now he has no problems playing the rapids and the sea in the first round.

This choice of piano works is actually very much in line with Fu Diao's own ideas about music.

For the remaining few pieces, He Shen chose Chopin's first piano ballade for Fu Tune, hoping that he could play it in the second round.

Fu Tiao thought about it and made the following choices for his works.

The first round of works, Chopin's Nocturne, 37-1, is a very beautiful nocturne, which has been played before and has reached a very high level under the baton of Shan Yi.

To find a new work, it is better to use this work directly and see if it can be better.

After all, there is not much time, and Fu Diao will prepare to participate in the competition in September, and if he can save a little time, he will save a little.

Chopin's scherzo, Op No. 54, Chopin's longest scherzo, occupies a unique place among Chopin's oeuvre.

The second round of works, Chopin's First Piano Ballade, goes without saying.

Chopin Waltz Waltz, op 42, representative of Chopin's Waltz.

Calm Andante with Polonaise, Op22, a piece perfect for musical expression, extremely beautiful.

Finally, there is a fantasia, Op61.

At this point, all the works before the Chopin International Piano Competition were completely completed.
