The professor at the Sichuan Conservatory of Music wrote a lot in his column, but after a cursory glance, he wrote at least two or three full pages, almost five or six thousand or even seven or eight thousand words.

Even if I don't care what this person has commented on Fu Tuo, at the very least, the manuscript in this kind of magazine has nearly 10,000 words, and the magazine agrees that he will put such a long article touting Fu Tuo in the magazine, which is very revealing.

You must know that Jiangyin's magazine is not one that costs money to get on it, it is the three largest music magazines in China, and the music magazines that can still make a profit, they want to give money to the professors of the Sichuan Conservatory of Music.

If the review doesn't tell the story, what else can explain the problem if it doesn't tell the story of how many of the impurities we're used to get rid of the impurities that are used for uselessness?

And it's not just this professor from the Sichuan Conservatory of Music who posted an article praising Fu Tune, in other places, large music academies, small art academies, almost every place related to music, and where there are piano teachers, they have written some content about music.

Whether it is published in a magazine, on an official account, or even in a newspaper, they are all discussing Fu Tune.

From the level of Fu Tune's performance, to whether they had hugged Fu Tune when they were children, to some other stories about Fu Tune when he was a child, or some anecdotes, whether true or false, were all put on the Internet by them, trying to make friends with Fu Tune.

Not to mention whether ordinary people in China know Fu Diao or not, at least, now people in the Chinese music industry are beginning to know Fu Diao, and they know that there is such a player in Huaguo.

The craze of Fu tune is getting more and more Goldman Sachs in China, and there is even a tendency to form a fire in it.

It's just a pity...... There is also a Li Diyun in front, and Fu Diao's current fire is still not enough.

Unlike in China, which is only circulated among knowledgeable people and some people who follow the Chopin International Piano Competition, Fu Tune is completely different in Poland, where he has almost become the top star in Warsaw, Poland.

Even some other film and television stars can't be compared.

The reason is simple......

As the final of the Chopin International Piano Competition was about to begin, the Organizing Committee of the Chopin International Piano Competition and the Ministry of Culture in Warsaw, Poland, began to renovate the city according to the previous rehearsals, so that the city could be completely immersed in Chopin's music.

Roadside seats, bus stops, public transportation, and even taxis and horse-drawn carriages that are responsible for sightseeing on the main road are updated with small audio equipment, and Chopin's record is played without interruption.

They don't just choose one record, but one piece, pick only one of the best, and use only one piece of record for each record, so that these works can be enjoyed by the masses all over the city.

Of course, if you don't take public transport but drive, you may have a hard time hearing the music playing......

However, you can see the same thing on the lampposts on the street, on the bus stops, on the advertising posts, on the bulletin boards, on the street advertisements, and so on.

Promotional poster for the Chopin International Piano Competition.

And not all the contestants are concentrated on a single poster, but each contestant has their own artistic photo, and the same number is randomly distributed within the city.

And the more likely the player is to win the championship, the better the odds are in the city center.

Therefore, in the city center, you can see the shadows of Fu Diao, Zhao Chengzhen, and Hamelin everywhere.

You'll occasionally see Kate Liu playing equally well in the third game.

The joint photo of the ten contestants was placed on the wall of the Chopin Concert Hall in Warsaw, announcing the birth of this year's top ten contestants to the people of the whole country.

Even if you drive a private car and don't listen to free Chopin music on the side of the road, you will be caught up in the atmosphere of the Chopin International Piano Competition because of the posters that fill the streets.

No, maybe for Fu Diao and others, this is a competition, but for those judges, this is not a simple competition, but a festival where all classical music lovers from all over the world gather!

In addition to the posters of the Chopin International Piano Competition, there are many street performers running out into the streets, playing their works in the festive atmosphere and selling their CDs.

At this time, Warsaw is a city more full of art and music than any other city.

You could even say that Warsaw has been the real capital of music in recent days! Far more than Vienna's music capital.

After having breakfast, Fu Diao followed He Shen and others to Warsaw City, looking at the tourists and those street performers on the street, He Shen was full of emotion.

"One thing to say, only then can you feel the vitality of the city, and only then will you not feel that the Chopin International Piano Competition is just a simple competition."

"It does ......"

Fu Tiao looked at the central square around him, which was obviously several times denser than before, and couldn't help but nod silently, his mind was not focused on this, his attention was completely on the poster in front of him.

The poster shows him sitting on a chair with a cold light on a black background, looking condescendingly ahead, his expression flat, and he has a sense of victory.

And Zhao Chengzhen, who was not far from him, put his hands in front of him with his hands staggered, as if he was thinking about something.

The posters of the two are not far away, and there seems to be a sense of confrontation.

And not far from the two, a poster of Hamelin was also placed nearby, Hamelin crossed his hands, smiling all over his face, as if he was watching a play.

But anyone who has heard him play before will know that he is definitely not the kind of person who is willing to give up on the competition, and he is also going on to fight for the championship position.

Who says you can't compete for the championship if you finish third?

He Shen, Yu Tianyou and others also noticed Fu Diao's gaze, He Shen just raised his hand and didn't speak, Yu Tianyou smiled, walked to Fu Diao's side, hooked Fu Diao's neck and whispered, "How is it?" Like? Why don't I quietly scratch this poster out at night and deliver it to your house? ”

Fu Diao glanced at him, his expression was helpless, and he shook his head slightly: "Forget it......"

"What? You don't like your photos? Is it possible? Yu Tianyou let go of the hand that hooked Fu Diao's neck, pretended to be surprised and took a few steps back, looking at Fu Diao's eyes widening: "Could it be that you want the posters of Zhao Chengzhen and Hamelin, your taste won't be so heavy, right?" ”

“？”

Fu Diao glanced at him, didn't say anything, but walked to the chair in the distance and sat down, He Shen also shrugged his shoulders, he originally wanted to joke with Fu Diao, but he didn't expect Yu Tianyou to open it first, and he couldn't help but feel bad.

"I can't see it, Yu Tianyou, you are so happy to be eliminated in the second round?"

Yu Tianyou immediately cried out: "No, Teacher He, I didn't do anything, why did you suddenly start me?" Is there anything wrong with my strength and being eliminated in the second round? ”

"Tsk, no problem, I just feel that you are very happy, greet you, continue to work hard, you must maintain such a good attitude."

He Shen grinned at Yu Tianyou, patted him on the shoulder, and then sat next to Fu Diao, listening to the music with him, and looking at his phone by the way.

Yu Tianyou looked at He Shen inexplicably, and after thinking for a long time, he didn't understand where he had offended him, so he could only sit on the same chair, but he didn't sit next to He Shen, but sat on the other side of Fu Diao, and didn't dare to continue to say anything more to He Shen, for fear of saying more to He Shen, and He Shen would inexplicably make a word for him.

They came over today to accompany the ensemble of the orchestra after Fu Tune, and Fu Tune was the second to appear.

The first is Zhao Chengzhen, and the second is Fu Tune, and the two of them are playing one after the other, so this morning is Zhao Chengzhen's performance, Fu Tune, He Shen, Yu Tianyou and others are waiting outside.

Fu Tiao has been preparing the content of Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 1 for the past few days, and each time he looks at it, he has different ideas, and then he integrates these ideas into his own music, and re-reads the music in it.

Think not only from the piano point of view, but also from the point of view of the conductor, the wind music, the strings.

Think about what kind of feeling they want the piano to make from their position in the past to match the performance of the music.

Although he hasn't worked with a band yet, he's rehearsed what he wants to say countless times.

He is now just waiting for Cho Sung-jin to come out of the concert hall before he starts his rehearsals.

The three of them sat on a bench in the central plaza.

He Shen looked at the phone, Fu Diao looked at the score, and Yu Tianyou shrank to the side and looked at the pigeon in the distance.

Today's sunlight is very rare and comfortable, and I don't know if the sky has been specially treated, and those gray haze have become much less, making the whole city much more transparent.

The warm sunlight wafted through their bodies in the slightly cold air, making their brains feel a little tired, and even a little tempted to fall asleep under this sunlight.

This sunlight is so comfortable that I don't want to move at all.

Just as the three of them were lying in the sun and waiting for Zhao Chengzhen, He Shen suddenly moved, he kept swiping his mobile phone, and his expression suddenly began to get excited.

"Wait, Fu Tune! Come here, look at this! ”

"Huh?"

Fu Diao blankly took his eyes off the sheet music in front of him, looked at He Shen, and looked puzzled: "What? ”

"This year's judges' evaluation."

"Evaluation?"

Fu Tiao took Zhao Chengzhen's mobile phone and looked at the information on it, this is a simple summary of the video.

"This year, all the judges of the Chopin International Piano Competition are still the same as in previous years, all the judges are emphasizing the technical level of the contestants and their performances, and they are more important to the ability of the contestants themselves, according to their description, this has become the Warsaw Chopin Festival, we can see the excitement of the judges in front of the contestants, they do not regard this as a job, but as a hobby, a companionship.

According to the jury panel, although they went through some votes in the second and even the third round, which did not satisfy everyone, please rest assured that you can see the belief and trust of the jury in the scoring of the contestants, and the winner they selected will not be accidental, but inevitable. ”

Fu Diao raised his head and looked at He Shen.

The information contained in the text just now is the following points, the most important of which is that the judges' criteria for judging this year are the individual strength of the contestants, and they do not say much about Chopin.

And they already have a candidate for the championship of the Chopin International Piano Competition, this person must be a player who has performed very well in the first three rounds of the competition, and will not choose a player who has always been low in the performance as the champion, which is equivalent to a guarantee, and it is also equivalent to telling everyone......

There is a high probability that Kate Liu will not be able to stabilize the championship, even if her strength is increasing in each round, but her previous performance is not perfect, even if she can complete the most powerful Chopin concerto in the end, it will be difficult for her to win the championship.

But......

Now Fu Tune's problem is still in the first sentence he just saw, he has been hearing others say that many judges this year are more biased towards Chopin's interpretation, which is why Fu Tune was not favored by everyone at the beginning.

"Teacher He, didn't you say that the judges were entangled in two directions before, but now looking at these judges talking, it seems that there is no such thing?"

Fu Tiao looked at He Shen, waiting for his explanation.

"Oh yes, I almost forgot to show you this." He Shen took the phone, reopened a page, and handed it to Fu Xuan.

According to the President of the Jury, Professor Katarzyna Popowa-Zydroń, she noticed the emergence of three groups of contestants this year, poets, classicists and independents, and she said that these three groups of contestants represent the future direction of the Chopin International Piano Competition, which seems to be a crossroads of styles, and everyone is hesitant to choose which way to go, because in front of them, these paths seem to be possible, all like the future direction of the Chopin International Piano CompetitionIt is a meeting point of religion, culture, and performing arts.

Professor Wojciechwitaa said that he felt that a lot of the musical content did not actually originate in Warsaw, but should have come from the 19th century, just as the contact with friends in the Far East and the West, and the contact between Europe and the Americas, the whole world became extremely open, and countless top young pianists from all over the world studied with the same teachers, and did not lose their original culture because of the same teachers, on the contrary, they retained their unique cultural abilities. That's exactly what I want to see at the Chopin International Piano Competition.

Professor Katarzyna Popowa-Zydroń agrees, but she thinks that while it sounds interesting, the Chopin International Piano Competitions are becoming more and more diverse, not simply more like Chopin, but at the same time, it also makes it more difficult for us to evaluate the modern Chopin, which is no longer a very simple matter, it is becoming intricate, it has nothing to do with political correctness, only with the interpretation of Chopin by modern players. ”

Fu Tiao watched the discussion between the two professors, didn't react for a while, and handed the phone to He Shen.

If I am not mistaken, the poet mentioned above should refer to Zhao Chengzhen, the classicism should refer to Hamelin, and as for the independent, it should be him.

I didn't expect that I actually had the title of an independent on the judges' side? It sounds weird, but maybe it's because of the translation? There may be other translations.

Fu Tiao asked with a hint of confusion: "So...... The discussion of Chopin that I said before has disappeared? ”

"It shouldn't be gone."

He Shen took his mobile phone and said casually: "It's just become a little more complicated, because the judges are also people, they are not a U-shaped lock that can be represented by simply supporting Chopin against Chopin, even if it is just to interpret Chopin, it is more suitable for Chopin, each judge has a different thinking logic for fitting Chopin, they have seen countless games between top players here, giving them more choices, and the same, it also makes them more entangled, what is the Chopin International Piano Competition for all music performers, What exactly does that mean. ”

"More complicated?"

"Yes, it's more complicated, but these have nothing to do with you, what you should pay attention to is what you saw before, the fourth round of the Chopin International Piano Competition will be a pure competition for basic skills and performance, there is no problem with your basic skills, although I don't want to admit it, but simply discuss the basic skills, especially the basic skills of jazz, your basic skills are stronger than mine! Classical music is a little weaker than me, and not much weaker. ”

He Shen's expression was indifferent, he put away his mobile phone, and said seriously to Fu Diao.

"So, you must not have any worries, and you don't have to think too much about what you don't have, just play hard and you can play well, after all, this year's Chopin International Piano Competition has been very clear, and the last is the war of you, Zhao Chengzhen, and Hamelin."

"I don't have many worries......"

Fu Tuo muttered quietly, but looking at He Shen's eyes, he could only sigh and said helplessly: "Okay, I know, I won't think too much." ”

"Okay! Keep up the good work! Fight for the championship! ”

"I try."

Fu Tiao shook his head helplessly, got up and shook his body, looking at the time in his hand, now that the time is close to the afternoon, it seems that Zhao Chengzhen should finish playing.

Fu Tiao waited there for a while, and Zhao Chengzhen really finished playing and walked out of the concert hall, wearing a neat suit, bowing and nodding to the people in the room friendly, then closed the door, turned around and walked outside.

As soon as he stepped out of the scope of the concert hall, he found Fu Diao who was sitting near the central square of the city, and he couldn't help but pause, and then looked at Fu Diao's eyes and nodded slightly, and said softly.

"I'm done."

"Okay."

Fu Diao also nodded, and after saying hello to Fu Diao and Yu Tianyou beside him, he walked towards the concert hall.

At this moment, the members of the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra were already sitting in it and resting, each holding a baguette sandwich in one hand, holding a tissue under their mouths, eating slowly, trying not to let the crumbs of the baguette fall on the stage.

They noticed Fu Tuo coming in, and didn't say much, just continued to eat their baguettes.

The conductor, who was sitting under the stage drinking coffee and eating a toast sandwich, glanced at the watch in his hand, got up and walked towards Fu Tiao.

He flicked his fluffy curls, pulled the cuffs on his wrists back, and then stretched out his huge left hand to Fu Diao, and said with an extremely serious expression.

"Jacek Kaspszyk"
