Chapter 129: Emilia Poniatowska
Fu Tiao saw that the next contestant had arrived, so he didn't stay long, for him, his rehearsal in the concert hall was over.
He and Jackek went back to the bottom of the stage to redefine some of the adjustments they had made to the conductor before leaving.
When Fu Tiao officially walked out of the concert hall, he raised his head and looked at the sky, the sky had become gloomy at some point, and there was no sunlight shining on it anymore.
It's now more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and it seems a little too early to go back to sleep at this time, Fu Tiao thought about it, and then walked around the city of Chopin with He Shen and Yu Tianyou, and saw everything about Chopin in the city.
For example, Chopin's house, the Chopin Museum or some other Chopin memorial shop, after all, they have not been out to visit Warsaw for so long, and they practice and rehearse every day.
However, when Fu Diao and others came to the Chopin Museum and were about to visit the museum, they suddenly found that Szymon Nehring, a contestant from Poland, had also come to the Chopin Museum.
Unlike Fu Tune and others, Szymon Nehring came to the museum on behalf of all the members of the Chopin International Piano Competition, playing the piano used by Chopin hundreds of years ago with representatives from various countries, as well as some royalty and nobles.
Fu Diao and the others were stopped as soon as they arrived at the museum, and it was not until Fu Tiao showed proof of his participation in the competition that he was put in and allowed to visit the museum.
Most of the places in the small recital hall in the basement were occupied by those nobles, and Fu Diao and the others could only watch Nehring's performance from the sidelines.
The main reason why the organizing committee did not invite Fu Zhao Chengzhen or even Hamelin to play is actually because the organizing committee of the Chopin International Piano Competition announced the most popular award with the audience in advance, and did not discuss professional ability and level strength, but only discussed whether it was liked by the audience.
There is nothing unwilling, uncomfortable, unfair or anything, after all, this award actually has no effect on Fu Diao and others, they don't live in Poland, these royal rich nobles and other people can't affect them at all, and even if they communicate, it is difficult to give them a little foreign help, and they can't even get money, on the contrary, he still needs to play a whole concert for these people.
If you can't get money for your work, whoever likes to do it will do it.
Fu Tiao and the others stood aside and watched Nehring's performance with a smile.
Nehring didn't play a lot of complicated content, but took some well-known works and played them on Chopin's piano to please everyone.
His strength must be above the works he is currently playing, and even many of his unique characteristics have not been shown, and Fu Diao and others are just listening to the music when they stand on the side.
It seems that everyone is going through the motions, showing off their passion for classical music and their admiration for Chopin as a native of Poland, and that's it.
After Nehring's performance, he talked to everyone one by one, and looked at Fu Diao and the others who had been staying on the side listening to his music in the distance, and then nodded slightly to them in great friendliness.
Everyone is just an ordinary competitive relationship, and there is no need to be so dead, and besides, he doesn't expect him to be able to win the championship and fight against Fu Diao and Zhao Chengzhen, so he looked at Fu Diao and the others with great friendliness.
After everyone finished talking, Nehring walked up to the three Fu Diao who had not yet left, smiled and stretched out his hand, and said, "Fu, I didn't expect you to come here today." ”
"I just finished rehearsing with the band, and I haven't eaten yet, so come and have a walk." Fu Tiao stretched out his hand to shake it, and then looked at the people who were walking around the room to socialize, and couldn't help but say with a little curiosity: "These are ......"
"The Minister of Culture of Poland, the Mayor of Warsaw, some politicians in Parliament, the old 'aristocracy' in some places, well, not the old aristocracy, some kind of new aristocracy." He whispered to Fu Tiao, then turned his head to look at the group of people, and shrugged his shoulders casually: "This can be regarded as a political activity, what everyone values more is not music, but the socialization in this place, and it is not very fun to play...... However, it is still very good to be able to touch the piano that Chopin used before. ”
"Chopin's piano? That's really good. ”
Fu Tiao looked at the piano placed in the center of the stage, which was being re-fenced by the staff, fixed and protected, and nodded slightly.
Unless these things are invited by the government, it is difficult for anyone to come across them, and it is very rare to be able to touch Chopin's piano, compared to talking to those politicians, increasing his confidence, so that he can touch the piano that Chopin played before, this can be regarded as a real reward.
After chatting casually with Fu Diao and the others, Nehring returned to the aristocratic politicians to communicate with them, while Fu Tiao and the others casually looked around the room.
Because the people in this room are all relatively noble people, in order to protect these people, there are always some people around them who are staring at them, Fu Diao and the others feel a little restrained, but there is no way, after a general look, they are ready to leave first.
However, just as Fu Tune was about to leave, a slightly crisp voice in extremely strange Chinese came from behind Fu Tune.
"Hello! Fu Dior! ”
Fu Diao and the others turned around, a girl wearing a pale pink ladies' coat and a lady's hat stood behind Fu Diao and the others, she stood there with a smile, took off her white velvet gloves, stretched out her incomparably slender and beautiful left hand, and said to Fu Diao back to extremely pure English.
"Fu Dio, in the way you call Huaguo, is it correct for me to call me like this?"
Fu Diao glanced at He Shen Yu Tianyou beside him, but he didn't expect the two of them to show expressions of watching the play, took a few steps back, and gave Fu Diao eyes of encouragement, as if supporting him in doing something.
Fu Tiao thought about it, and didn't figure out what this person was going to do at all, so he couldn't help but hesitate a little, stepped forward and walked a few steps, shook her hand gently, and asked after letting go: "Yes, there is no problem with what you said, but the name behind it should be pronounced, not Dior." ”
"Dior, Dior, carving, hanging ......"
She read it several times in a row, but she couldn't read it accurately, and the more she read it, the more strange it became, and she couldn't help but show a look of distress.
"I'm sorry, but your name is a little difficult for me, it always seems to be a little bit off, I'm really sorry."
"Forget it, just Dior, the gap is not big."
"Okay, Dior, I'm really sorry." She apologized to Fu Tuo once again with great sincerity, as if it was very rude to not be able to read someone's name on her side.
Fu Tiao looked at her like this, and it was not easy to continue to correct her pronunciation, so he asked casually, "Say...... Do you have anything to do with me? ”
"Things?" She put her finger on her chin, raised her head and thought about it, then smiled and shook her head: "There should be nothing to look for you, it's just a surprise that you can appear in the Chopin Museum, I thought that only Nehring was present today, after all, almost all the people who come out to perform every year are Polish, I didn't expect to see you this year." ”
After saying that, she suddenly remembered something, looked at Fu Tiao, and immediately asked, "What are you saying...... Didn't I say my name? ”
"Yes."
"Ah, that's right, I'm sorry." She took a small step back, saluted with great grace, and then said gently: "My name is Emilia Poniatowska, and I am from the Poniatowski family. ”
"Poniatowski?" Before Fu Diao could speak, He Shen behind him read it out in a little surprise, looked at Fu Diao's puzzled gaze, and immediately shook his head slightly, signaling Fu Diao to wait a while.
However, Emilia had already looked at them, and after saluting them slightly, she said in the same gentle tone: "He Shen, Yu Tianyou, I'm sorry for being a little negligent just now and didn't greet you in time." ”
"No, no, no, it's okay."
He Shen immediately scratched his head and smiled, casually dragged Yu Tianyou, who was watching the play on the side, and walked outside, waving his hand casually and said, "You continue to chat, Yu and I will go to see other places first, and I won't disturb you." ”
After that, he didn't wait for Emilia to respond, and dragged Yu Tianyou out of the house, leaving only some security staff in the room, as well as Fu and Emilia.
Emilia stood there, looking at Fu Tuo, her expression gradually became relaxed, she stretched out her hand and pointed in the direction of the previous browsing, and asked Fu Tuo.
"Dior, would you like to go shopping together?"
"Shopping?"
Fu Tiao was a little hesitant, but looking at the pace that Emilia was already about to move forward, and at He Shenyu Tianyou, who had disappeared from his sight, he could only agree, and followed her quickly, strolling around the museum casually.
Emilia seemed to be very familiar with the museum, and knew the details and history of each place well, and in order to take care of Fu Tiao's English, she was afraid that Fu Tiao would not understand it, so she used some simple words to tell the meaning of those cultural relics.
The voice is soft and euphemistic, which makes people very comfortable to listen to.
She pointed to a sheet of music on the wall, and said to Fu Tune easily: "Look at this sheet music, this sheet music was given to the museum by our family, and it is said that it was written to Prince Poniatowsky back then, but in fact, there is no note on it, if you have the opportunity to go to Lazienki Park, you should be able to see the Chopin sculpture placed in that place." ”
"Oh yes, there's also this sheet music, I played this sheet when I was a child, and my family told me at the time, this piece is Chopin's unrecorded work, it's the one God Bless Poland that you played before, so I was very surprised to see you coming, because I rarely heard your pianists play this piece at the Chopin International Piano Competition."
"Aha, there's this one, these are Chopin's letters with Gerzmara, a former lieutenant of Prince Poniatowski, a friend of Chopin, who was imprisoned in Poltava for three years during the Russo-Russian War, and he was not just an ordinary friend, he was a member of parliament at the time, an examiner of the Administrative Court, the president of the Polish government bank, and he had a close conversation with Chopin, and we got a lot of things about Chopin from him."
"Well, there's that, this is Chopin's love letter when he chatted with his lover in Paris~ The content above is not easy to translate, so I won't translate them for you one by one, if you are interested, you can ask the person in charge here."
"And this ......"
As if she were in her own home, she sparsely introduced everything related to Chopin, and she could give an idea of every object, as if she had been to this place I don't know how many times.
Of course, she was just an introduction, and there was nothing else superfluous.
The two of them walked from the basement to the top floor, and after looking at the last item, she turned to look at Fu Tuo with a smile and asked softly, "How is it?" Has there been any progress on your Chopin? Do you feel that you have a deeper understanding of Chopin? ”
Fu Tiao didn't speak, but thought seriously, and finally nodded slowly: "Yes, I do have a deeper understanding of Chopin, and I have new ideas about some details of Chopin, but I have a question." ”
"Huh? What's the problem? ”
"Like, why do you seem so familiar with this place?"
"Because...... I come a lot, and every time I hear those people say the same thing, I'm tired of hearing it," she walked forward slowly, not looking behind her, "It's not just the Chopin International Piano Competition, it's the same for the Chopin Piano Competition in Poland, I've participated in it many times, and the adults in my family often say it, and as I talk, I carry it." ”
After saying that, she stopped her steps, turned to look at Fu Tuo behind her, and asked with a hint of mischievousness, "Say...... Don't you wonder why I left you alone? Doesn't it feel ambiguous? ”
"Ambiguous?" Fu turned his head to look at the seven or eight staff members standing in various corners around him, pursed his mouth, and didn't say anything, just said casually: "I'm not curious, because you have already said that you were pleasantly surprised by my arrival, so you left me alone. ”
"Huh......" Emilia didn't expect Fu Tune to answer like this, she couldn't help but be a little surprised, and then sneered: "Okay, I do seem to have said it, but the main reason why I keep you is because I like your performance very much, compared to other players, such as Zhao from South Korea, Hamelin from Gamada, or Nehring from our Poland, I always feel that their performance lacks a surprise, and it is a bit dull now." ”
"And your music ......" she looked into Fu Tune's eyes, and Fu Tune couldn't help but look away, and then she smiled: "Your music carries a kind of vastness of the sea, the mystery of the sea, the power of the sea, this strange interpretation I seem to have never heard in other people's music, they rarely interpret Chopin as the feeling of the sea, even if it is an etude of the sea, they will not interpret it like this." ”
"Well, as far as I'm concerned, I think your music is still a little bit of a boy's youth, not mature enough, especially when compared to the top masters...... Although my playing level is average, not as good as you Chopin International Piano Competition players, but I grew up listening to the live performances of the top masters, and my ability to appreciate music is not weaker than yours! ”
"So...... Dior, come on, I'm looking forward to your performance in the final, looking forward to if you can surprise me more, come on, and hopefully the next time we meet, you can sign my name. ”
"Amy!" A group of neatly dressed and formal people emerged from the stairs, and an incomparably graceful and luxurious lady at the front looked at Fu Tiao and Emilia together, and after thinking for a while, she smiled and nodded slightly to Fu Tiao, then looked at Emilia and said, "Amy, let's go, the event is over." ”
"Okay, Mom!" Emilia agreed, waved her hand at Fu Tuo slightly, and said softly, "Goodbye then, Dio." ”
"Goodbye ......"
As Fu Tune's words fell, Emilia turned softly and walked gracefully into the distance, blending into the crowd before disappearing from Fu Tune's sight.
It blew like a breeze and dispersed like a breeze, just a simple meeting, a brief chat about Chopin, nothing superfluous.
Fu Diao walked out of the museum a little abruptly, the sky was completely dark, Yu Tianyou and He Shen stood in the corner and didn't know what to say, and when they saw Fu Diao come out, the two instantly surrounded them.
Yu Tianyou asked excitedly, "How is it?" Did she say anything to you? Does it mean she likes you or something? Is there a story about the Grey Knight and Princess Charming? ”
Fu Tiao thought about it, looked at Yu Tianyou's appearance, and couldn't help but deliberately whisper: "If you like it, there is a ......."
"There is ?!!!" Yu Tianyou's whole voice was sharp.
"But she said she liked my Chopin, that's all, not what you think."
"Cut...... Boring. Yu Tianyou's expression instantly became speechless, looking at the smile on the corner of Fu Diao's mouth, he could only wave his hand fiercely, not bothering to pay attention to Fu Diao.
He Shen couldn't help but smile after watching the two of them fight on the side, and then said with a straight face: "But Fu tune, just kidding, people are one of the top nobles in Poland, and the largest Lazienki Park in the city is actually her family's real estate, which originated from the late eighteenth century to the nineteenth century, and after three generations of efforts, she became a member of parliament from a squire, and finally became a royal family in Poland." ”
"Of course, now their royal family does not enjoy the power of the king, but their family power is far beyond your imagination, and even the establishment of the Chopin International Piano Competition has their share of credit, just that Emilia should be a royal child who has just come of age, because you are in the museum, you are a contestant of the Chopin International Piano Competition, plus this is a public event, so we can go in, although I don't know what she told you, but what to say, don't think about it."
"Well, I know, she just told me a little bit about the history of the collections in the museum, and we didn't have much other contact."
"That's fine, let's go, let's eat, you two talked for a long time, we were hungry, what do you want to eat? As long as it doesn't exceed 10 euros per person, I can have a treat! ”
Yu Tianyou stood aside and was not angry: "Tut...... I know, Mr. He, you're so picky. ”
"Okay, Yu Tianyou, you pay for your dinner today, I'll ask Fu to adjust the food, so it's just right, one of us is 15 euros, and the food is more refreshing."
"Don't! I was wrong! Mr. He, I was wrong! ”
Everyone fights and forgets what has just happened, whether it is Emilia they met or a small concert they have just played, which has nothing to do with what they are going to do in the future.
They chatted casually, walked to a Greek grilled fish shop in the distance and ordered a grilled fish, complaining that the European and American grilled fish was simply grilled and then ordered a fries.
Even though the meal cost of the three of them exceeded 30 euros, He Shen still paid the money, and everyone returned to the hotel to make the final adjustments after eating dinner leisurely.
The time soon came October 18th, the final day of the Chopin International Piano Competition.
