Chapter 169: Don't worry, we still have time

Professor Klaus said very clearly, and he looked at Fu Tuo's eyes with great determination, without the slightest hesitation.

His momentum also affected many people around him, so that they did not dare to have any intention of resisting.

It's just that the effect is not particularly good for the students upstairs, after all, the target is not them, and the distance is still a little far.

Wu Hong looked at Professor Klaus and couldn't help but turn his head to Chen Ying and whispered.

"That...... Ying, who is this old man? I've been in school for more than three years, so why don't I see him once? And how do these professors look at him and feel so respectful? It's like this professor is awesome? Do you know him? ”

Professor Klaus Hellerwick...... Don't you know? Haven't you heard his name? Chen Ying looked at the person in front of her a little stupidly, she didn't expect Professor Klaus to appear at all.

Professor Klaus...... Isn't it awesome? ”

"Actually, it's not very awesome...... Right? ”

Chen Ying looked at Klaus with a strange expression, and muttered in a low voice: "He is also the head of the piano department of the last Berlin University of the Arts, the teacher of the head of the piano department of this year, and has brought out several international piano competition champions, and he was once a student of William Kempf, and is currently serving as the chief judge in many piano competitions around the world, as far as I know, there are many competitions, such as the Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition, the Leeds International Piano Competition, the Hamamatsu International Piano Competition, at the same time, His students basically occupy the vast majority of conservatories in Germany, with the exception of the Hannover Conservatory in West Germany. ”

Speaking of this place, Chen Ying suddenly raised her head, looked at the ceiling above her head and thought for a moment, and hesitated.

"Well, I remember, it seems that Professor Krauss's main influence was on the East German side, especially after he came to Berlin from Fukwangen, because when the top professors in Hanover were still there, those professors had students all over the world, occupying the whole of Germany's piano teaching, even if he taught many top professors at that time, but in the face of those people in Hanover, he was a little weak, and he could only let his students use Berlin as a base and radiate around.

Later, after waiting for those top piano professors of Hannover, they did not teach much, Hanover's influence plummeted, and it was at this time that Professor Klaus played the name of Berlin University of the Arts, and gradually took over the reputation of Hannover, becoming the world's top conservatory, and it can even be said that the piano department of Berlin University of the Arts can have today's influence, and Professor Klaus occupies half of the credit. ”

"This, so strong?" Wu Hong was stupid when he heard it, and his voice was accidentally a little louder, and then he quickly covered his mouth and asked in a low voice, "Wait, you just said ...... Was he a student of William Kempf? ”

"Huh? Do you actually know William Kempf? Chen Ying glanced at Wu Hong in surprise, she didn't expect him to ask such a question, she couldn't help poking Wu Hong with her elbow, and said with a smile: "Amazing, follow me for so long, you finally have a little understanding of the piano master." ”

"Who would not know Wilhelm Kempf, the representative of the German-Austrian school, I have heard that his teacher was a pupil of Liszt! So that is...... Fu Diao: He can now be regarded as the mainstream inheritor of the German-Austrian school? Wu Hong was a little surprised, and then he was even more envious: "It's amazing, you can have the opportunity to enter the mainstream inheritance route of the German-Austrian school at such a young age." ”

Chen Ying couldn't help nodding: "Yes, Kempf's composition is still learned from Brahms's students, he can definitely be regarded as the real leader of the German-Austrian school, but unfortunately he is dead, after his death, his students did not follow the German-Austrian school very much, but all have their own styles, such as the authority to play Mozart, Mitsuko Uchida, and the Turkish national treasure pianist Ithil Billi, compared to his students, almost all of whom have become world-class top bosses, Professor Klaus is obviously a little weak. ”

"It shouldn't be that Professor Klaus is weak, I heard you say that, I think Professor Klaus is already strong?" Wu Hong was full of doubts.

Chen Ying couldn't help but pause when she heard it, and then sighed: "You're right, Professor Klaus is already very strong, mainly because the German-Austrian school is declining, although the reputation of the German-Austrian school has been beaten abroad, and there are many students in Huaguo who take the route of the German-Austrian school, such as Li Diyun and Shen Yu, who were students of the Hannover Conservatory of Music in the German-Austrian school more than ten years ago, and they are really about to beat the reputation of the German-Austrian school."

It's just a pity that Li Diyun's level is becoming more and more unstable now, the probability of being able to play a god-level scene is getting lower and lower, and the chance of overturning is getting higher and higher, not to mention Shen Yu, his father's brain is a little problematic, shouting that his son is a pianist, not a student, and no one of you is worthy of teaching him, and then offended the professor who followed him at the Hannover Conservatory, and didn't bother to pay attention to the professor's good intentions, and returned to his hometown from Hannover with his suitcase, and there was no news from him again.

However, Shen Yu is actually quite good, after he returned to China from Hanover, he has always felt that he owes his father, looking at his father who is becoming more and more irritable, he even thinks about going to find that kind of dream program, to see if he can solve the knot in his father's heart and make his father cheer up again, just ......"

Speaking of this, Chen Ying suddenly chuckled, poked Wu Hong, and said amusedly: "Boss Wu, guess what his father did?" ”

"How do I know this......" Wu Hong was helpless, then raised his head and thought about it, according to what Chen Ying said before, he couldn't help but speculate: "Later, the father is kind and filial piety, the two sides are harmonious, and they have become the world's top pianists together?" ”

"How is it possible~" Chen Ying couldn't help laughing when she heard it, and patted Wu Hong gently.

"Let me tell you, the situation at that time was interesting, Shen Yu and his father went crazy in the video, saying that he didn't ruin his son, and then asked the TV station if he was sent by netizens to insult him, and then took the son who scolded him, and asked him if he was a qualified father, where was he sorry for him, he actually wanted to send the TV station over to destroy him, insult his reputation, and then slammed the door and left, and Shen Yu sat helplessly in the living room, and there was a special certificate of thanks for his father hidden behind him."

"This ......"

Wu Hong was stunned when he heard it, he didn't expect this ending at all, so he could only laugh helplessly: "This ...... Barely can be regarded as a father's filial piety, right? ”

"Huh? Indeed, but it may be that the 'father's kindness' is filial piety, and the filial piety is the real filial piety, as for his father...... It's not easy to say, according to him, he does love Shen Yu very much, and he wants Shen Yu to live well more than anyone else. Chen Ying shook her head and didn't say anything.

After all, she is just an outsider, and everyone else is just an outsider.

This is a private matter in someone's own family, although you can really criticize other people's fathers for not doing authentic things when you talk about them usually, but if you really talk about it in depth, Chen Ying still feels that she is not easy to say, after all, every family has its own affairs.

Everyone is rumored that it was his father who ruined Shen Yu's life, but what is the real situation? Could it be because Shen Yu's temperament is too soft, what he says and what he listens to, without any of his own opinions?

And his father, maybe the starting point is good, at that time when everyone was still very poor, he really sold everything he could sell at home, and gave Shen Wenyu the best learning environment, at all costs, looking for all the places where he could make money, trying to make money, owing a lot of debt, and even going to prison.

He made money not for himself, but so that Shen Wenyu could continue to learn piano and fulfill Shen Wenyu's dream.

Therefore, when Chen Ying talked about this place, she stopped continuing to tell, and simply said what she knew, and after analyzing the internal reasons for herself, she struggled for a long time, and finally didn't say much, so she could only turn the topic back to Klaus, who was chatting with Fu Tiao, and continued.

"Forget it, don't talk about Shen Yu, it's too heavy to talk about Shen Yu, let's go back to Professor Klaus, Klaus, it's actually normal that you don't have an impression, after all, according to my memory, I remember that he didn't take students much a long time ago, because he was older, he could even be regarded as semi-retired, just chatting with a few of his students often, almost not involved in actual teaching work, and even his professorship title has begun to contact the school to change to honorary professor, It is really rare for him to be able to go out of the mountain, even rare. ”

"It does ......"

Wu Hong looked at Fu Tuo from above, and couldn't help but nod slightly.

As Chen Ying said, Professor Krauss is now out of the mountain and transferred to students as students, which exceeds everyone's expectations, not only Chen Ying and other students, but also those professors under the stage.

However, they glanced at each other and did not speak, but looked at Klaus helplessly, and sighed inwardly.

Before, they speculated that Fu Diao might not match their line, and they might have to invite some people who were no longer very good at teaching to come out to support the field, but who would have thought that before they were invited, they themselves had already stood up first, and directly invited Fu Tiao to study with him.

As far as Fu Tiao was concerned, he didn't feel anything, but he looked at Klaus a little curious, and couldn't help asking, "Then Professor Klaus, I want to ask, what is it...... It can be regarded as a system mastery. ”

"Actually, it's very simple, this is the true essence of the German-Austrian school."

Klaus was not surprised by Fu Tuo's speech, his eyes were fixed on Fu Tuo, and his tone was extremely calm.

"Many people have not had a concept of what the German-Austrian school is, and there are even many people who think that only German-Austrian students can be regarded as German-Austrian, but in fact, this is not the case!

The German-Austrian school is a heritage of the Viennese classical music school, inherited from Liszt and carried forward from Liszt, with Liszt as the main line of inheritance, although we can continue to trace back to Czerny, Beethoven, and even Haydn Mozart, but Haydn Mozart, and even Czerny have too many students, and almost all the German-Austrian school are Liszt, so we generally take Liszt as the beginning of the German-Austrian school.

It's just that compared with the traditional impression of Liszt's dazzling skills, the German-Austrian school in the process of development, in fact, did not pay too much attention to the elements of dazzling skills, what we care about is the essence of music, is the most basic music theory for the performance of help, and you can give a simplest example, take a piece you have played, Chopin No. 1 Piano Ballade, this work you should know, right? ”

"Yes." Fu Tiao nodded.

"So, what is the chord at the beginning of this piece?"

β€œC,Es,As,H。” Fu Tune did not hesitate, and then was slightly puzzled: "This chord is a Neapolitan sixth, I know this, and this point does not need to be explained too much." ”

"yes, Naples sixth."

Klaus couldn't help grinning when he heard this, turned his body to face the piano, his eyes were still looking at Fu Tuo, his hands were raised, and he slowly pressed on the piano, slowly pulling up.

The chords at the beginning of Chopin's Ballade for Piano No. 1 flow slowly from the resonance box like a song and a cry.

The tempo is not fast, or even lower than normal, but under Klaus's playing, the music becomes extremely transparent.

You can even hear what Klaus thinks about music, and you can even feel that you can hear the blood and flesh beneath the skin of music.

Fu Tune couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it, this music seemed to be his previous performance?

It's almost exactly the same feeling as he was playing at the time.

"The Naples Sixth chord is a special chord formed by the descending semitone of the root of the first inversion chord of the second degree of the minor key, in the chord technique we call it N6, this chord is very versatile, in addition to the bleak and obscure color of the minor key itself, this chord will also give people a crying mood in it, so, just like what you just played, crying like a song, this kind of playing is very beautiful, I like it very much.

But...... There is another thing in the music that I don't know if you have noticed, that is, Chopin did not start the chord according to the normal Viennese classical music at the beginning, and gave the main chord directly from the beginning as a cue? After all, we all know that in music, as a simple way to use the 1, 4, 5, 1 way of progressing, at the beginning, we must be the main chord, and then move on to the other chords, and Chopin in this place, he did not use the main chord, but used the N6 chord, which is the Naples sixth, so what does this mean? ”

Klaus smiled at Fu Tiao, returned his hand to the starting position, and began to play again.

This time the performance is still extremely slow, but it is also extremely good, compared to the kind of crying and complaining when Fu Tune played Chopin before, when he interpreted, he always felt that there was something more, and his heart seemed to become much more empty, with a lot of confusion, chaos, and unclear direction.

Everything was plunged into darkness, and there was no longer any trace of light.

The sense of narrative in the music is very clear interpreted by Klaus.

"The purpose of this narrative song is to tell you a story, so what does this story mean to you? Is it the sea? Helplessness at sea? Or the darkness in the cabin, or even ...... The desperation of the Titanic falling into the ocean? ”

When talking about the Titanic, the people around couldn't help but let out a friendly laugh, but unfortunately Fu Tuo didn't understand, he was still thinking about what Klaus said.

Klaus didn't care about Fu Tune's thoughts, continued to play the music in his hand, and then spoke lightly.

"The essence of music, for me, is a process from soothing to tense, and then from tense resolution to soothing, and the audience listens to this process, I often think about what this music means to me, why I interpret this music, and what kind of feeling I want to bring to the audience.

From a single system, it gradually went to the system of a composer, then to the system of the music school of the era, and finally to the system of the whole music.

From childhood to adulthood, let the music flow, and let the self be expressed in the music.

I don't care if your interpretation is closer to the purity and purity of the French school, or to the virtuosity of the Russian folk school, all I care about is what your brain is thinking when you play.

Why do we say that it is difficult to be a pianist, we are not talking about the difficulty of playing a work, even if you play a top-notch work like Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2, you are a person without any talent, and you have been staring at this work for fifty or sixty years, can you still play it?

The most difficult part of being a pianist is restraint!

No matter how excited and happy the audience sounds about this work, or even as if it is hilarious, your heart must maintain restraint and calmness, let your heart blend with the audience, feel the audience's emotions, drive their emotions, and at the same time, you also need to let yourself be like a bystander, and not be moved by it.

This is the philosophy and direction of the German-Austrian school, the purest reason and logic.

Don't know about you...... Do you like the feeling? ”

Bang!

The final chord of the piano fell, and a sense of comfort from depression to relaxation rose instantly, looking at Klaus in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a burst of relief in his heart, his lips moved lightly, and when he was about to say something, Klaus took the lead in shaking his head slightly.

"Dior, you don't have to give me an answer right now, you may be driven by the emotions just now and are not rational.

We still have a lot of time to go, and we are ...... the first day of school There are still a few months, even three months before the registration time, and you still have to do the tour, so I want you to think first, think about whether you need it, and then give me a reply, I've always been here, I'm not leaving. ”

With that, he smiled at Fu Tiao, got up from the piano, slowly walked to the bottom of the stage, pushed open the door on the side of the stage, walked in, and disappeared into the concert hall.
