Chapter 170: The Three Great Schools and Amsterdam

Fu Tiao did not continue to dwell on what Professor Klaus had just said, and now he still needed to go to Amsterdam for a concert, and then Brussels, Paris.

After all, it's a world tour, and he's been here in Berlin for more than a week, and it's only three or four days before his next show, which is to Amsterdam.

However, apart from Berlin, only two concertos were left in London and Vienna for Fu Tune arranged by Deutsche Grammophon, and the rest of the performances were purely solo recitals without orchestras.

Therefore, Fu Tiao does not need to be in a hurry, even if there is still a day or two left, he can catch up and enter the concert hall to start the performance before the concert starts.

There is a train to Amsterdam from Berlin, which takes a full seven hours, and the train from Amsterdam to Brussels takes a little shorter, only two and a half hours.

Originally, the train from Berlin to Amsterdam, the Deutsche Grammophone company said that it would help Fu arrange a plane ticket, and the plane ticket from Berlin to Amsterdam was not expensive, only one or two hundred euros, and if you meet those low-cost airlines, it can even be cheaper.

It's just that this proposal was rejected by Fu Tiao, and he prefers to take a train or a cruise ship than to fly around the world by plane.

The speed of driving is too fast, the time left for the individual is too short, and the journey sometimes loses the meaning of the journey itself, leaving only the anxiety of hurrying.

In addition, many trains in Europe will basically choose a relatively beautiful route for the high-speed rail route, so Fu Tiao did not hesitate and directly chose the IC 142 train from Berlin to Amsterdam.

He and Taylor returned to Berlin's newly-built large train station with a modern feel, walked to the train departure gate, and after a long wait, a pure white high-speed train came from a distance and stopped in front of them.

Click......

The door slowly opened, and the surrounding people with suitcases quickly boarded the high-speed train, which was already a little gray, and grabbed the positions that were not booked.

Fu Tiao, on the other hand, raised his hand to look at the time, and then smiled slightly at Taylor and the others.

"Then I'll go first, and I'll send you an email when I've decided where I'm going."

"Okay, you don't have to send me the email, you can send it directly to the secretariat of the Berlin University of the Arts, they should have registered your information over there." Taylor smiled at Fu Tea, then waved his hand.

"But as Professor Klaus said, you have to think carefully and then make a decision, don't be too anxious, we all have time, after all, this is a very important thing for you, or for Professor Klaus, or even for the Berlin University of the Arts."

"Is it important...... Fu Tuo took a breath, sighed slowly, looked at the glass dome above his head, and shook his head slightly: "Let me think about it again." ”

"Okay, you think slowly, this trip to Amsterdam is still more comfortable, I remember they set you a first-class seat, although this first-class seat is a few places less than the second-class seat, but the overall space is much more spacious, not as crowded as the second-class seat."

Taylor smiled happily and said casually, "Let's see, listen, and think more, whether it's for you or for other pianists, it's actually quite good." ”

Fu Tiao nodded slightly after hearing this, glanced around, and found that there were no more tourists around, and almost everyone had already boarded the train, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then let's do it first, the time is almost up, I'll get on the train first." ”

"Okay, noisy (ciao, ciao, Italian)"

"To die (tschüss, German)"

Fu turned and boarded the train to Amsterdam, waved at Taylor, and disappeared into the carriage.

Taylor stood outside the window, watching the doors of the train slowly close, before leaving with a smile.

For him, his work to this place is over.

He is a professor at the Berlin University of the Arts, and he is also a member of the jury of the Chopin International Piano Competition, not the main jury, but one of them.

Originally, he actually wanted to teach Fu Tune a little bit, but in the process of communicating with Fu Tune, his idea was quickly dispelled.

Because of what he is good at, Fu Diao is also good at.

When he taught at the Berlin University of the Arts and the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, he mainly taught students to play, which was basically Chopin's stuff, and for other composers, although he also taught, and asked those students to expand their repertoire, but the teaching feeling was only average, and it did not reach a particularly perfect state.

There were other subtle reasons, all of which combined to make him agree to be a guide to the Berlin University of the Arts, to help the Berlin University of the Arts establish contact with Fu Tune, rather than wanting to be a professor of Fu Tune and continue to guide him in any musical content.

Standing outside the Berlin gates of Berlin's main train station, he couldn't help but smile as he looked at the huge brand new building in front of him, glowing in the sun.

"With the entry of Fu Tune, the pattern of the three major music schools will change, perhaps, right?"

Attracted by money and honor, countless top pianists have gone to the beautiful country to perform, and jointly built a new type of beautiful Chinese music school with the three major music schools as the core and the original humanistic education of the beautiful country as the main body.

What this school of music aspires to is to let everyone learn music happily, even if they can't become talents, it doesn't matter.

Under the representatives of the beautiful Chinese music school, I don't know if it is because of the large population base or the success of this teaching method, they have been able to successfully teach countless top pianists and artists, allowing them to shine on the world stage, and even have influenced the basic plate of the three major music schools.

Since the death of William Kempf, there are fewer and fewer top powerhouses on the side of the German and Austrian schools, and even have a sense of extinction, and their global influence has gradually changed from being famous all over the world to being difficult to leave in Germany and Austria.

At the same time, the French school has a second spring, represented by the Paris Conservatoire, showing extraordinary vitality, they pay attention to balance and harmony, pay attention to the purity and transparency of music, and perform with elegance rather than dynamics, attracting countless players to join the French school.

In South Korea and East Asia, many of them compared the French and the German-Austrian schools, and many of them chose to enter the French school rather than the German-Austrian school.

Just like Zhao Chengzhen, who was in the same year as Fu Diao, after he entered the French music school, he was favored by the current head of the French music school, and was even known as the representative of the French music school of the next generation, and his enterprising trend was unstoppable......

Except for losing to Fu Tune.

The global power of the Russian music school is difficult to assess.

The most important thing for the Russian folk music school is the basic skills of the performers themselves, and what they pay attention to is the most extreme show-off skills, using technology to crush their opponents, although they care about music, they don't care much.

This kind of large, black, and coarse performance not only did not die out under the joint strangulation of the German-Austrian and French schools at that time, but gradually expanded, and even became the mainstream performance at that time, such as Horowitz, who was known as the king of piano in the 20th century.

Horowitz can be regarded as the kind of existence that suppressed an entire era and made everyone in that era completely obscured under his shadow.

Even Rachmaninoff's latest work at that time, he may not have played it so smoothly himself, but when he gave it to Horowitz to play, he could play it almost only after watching it once or twice.

Horowitz is the king of the piano, and the Russian school can be called the most technically top-notch school.

This school of music is not only spreading around Russia, but even the music schools that China tends to are almost all Russian music.

After all, those who went to study abroad in China in the early years, and those who made great achievements in the follow-up were basically from the Russian music school, and they even stipulated the syllabus of the current Chinese piano teaching.

Hanon, Beye, and Czerny are the main ones with no musicality, supplemented by works by certain national music schools.

This also led to the emergence of many, many technically invincible existences in Huaguo, such as Lang Liangyue and Wang Jia's brothers and sisters.

Therefore, it is difficult to say how influential the Russian school of music is in the world, after all, if you talk about the land where Russian music is played, this is not a small area.

It's a pity that in the world, only the Russian music school pays the most attention to basic skills, the German-Austrian music school pays the most attention to the musical logic, and the French music school pays the most attention to the purity of music, which is not a serious problem on the Russian music side.

For them......

As long as your basic skills are good enough, no matter what kind of work, it is reckless! It's Gan!

If you can't be reckless, you can't move in the past, that is, your basic skills are not in place, and then give me to practice the basic skills a hundred times! A thousand times! Ten thousand times!

When your basic skills are invincible in the world, what else can be difficult to defeat you? Just kidding!

Just like Fu Tune, Fu Tune's basic skills are almost invincible in the world, as if when he first came over, he needed to play Chopin's works, and he only needed to look at them for a moment or two to be able to play directly, and then directly slammed them over.

No one knows if it can win the championship, but you say, is it Chopin who is playing this one?

Of course, the Russian music school is definitely not just so stupid, but people also have their own characteristics, but this characteristic that has crushed everything with basic skills has been deeply rooted in the minds of many people, and there is no way to erase it.

It's just that...... The glory of the three major music schools has only existed in the past, and now it is the new century, and the piano genre of this century has shifted from the three traditional music schools to the emerging beautiful Chinese music school.

The influence of the beautiful Chinese music school after winning the growth of others is getting bigger and bigger in the world, and there is even a feeling of a single person against the three major music schools.

Among the three major music schools, the French music school can fight and confront outside, the Russian music school sticks to the basic plate and no one can move, and the German and Austrian music schools are shrinking more and more.

"I hope that Fu Tune can break the dilemma of the German and Austrian schools, after all, I feel that Fu Tuo actually needs the guidance of the German and Austrian schools in the system, and the German and Austrian schools also need a new top pianist to break their current predicament, I hope to be able to go both ways......

Taylor looked at the blue sky above his head, felt the warm weather around him, couldn't help but chuckle, threw away the depression in his heart, swayed to the grass in the distance, lay down with a snap, and enjoyed the sun above his head comfortably with many naked men and women around him.

This is the case in Germany, both men and women, when the sun comes out, the point is to be warm enough, they will directly take off their clothes and bask in the sun, not caring at all about the eyes of other people around them.

Recently, I heard that what kind of women's liberalization work has been started on the German side recently? Promote that women can swim with their upper bodies just like men?

Not......

Although Taylor is not particularly fond of feminists, Taylor is very fond of supporting women's freedom to dress.

"The city of Berlin...... It's really good~"

Taylor smiled and lay on the grass basking in the sun, incredibly peaceful.

……

Compared with Professor Taylor, who has already achieved fame and can find a random place to lie down and bask in the sun and sleep, Fu Tiao does not have so much time to sleep.

He sat in the train, looking at the scenery passing by, his expression calm.

The scenery outside the window is not very pretty, but it can definitely be regarded as fresh, especially for Fu Diao.

Cut into patches of fields, each with a different color, like a canvas.

And the huge wind turbine that slowly rotates in the distance carries with it the loneliness and indifference of being independent of the world.

Around the railway, there are hardly any people, and you can't even see the farmers working.

Sure enough, compared to the train that runs from Suez through the Alps, the train running on the flat ground is much more monotonous in the face of the dramatic mountain scenery.

Fu Tune could only withdraw his gaze from the car window, turn his head to look at the score in front of him, and fall into deep thought, thinking about what Professor Klaus had said before.

What is the system in music, and what logic is, and how should it be understood.

Also, when you play by yourself, what else should you have in your head besides the picture you want to play?

The sound of the car clattering and running brought endless peace, and Fu Tuo looked at the music score in front of him and even felt more and more flowers, and even a little tired and wanted to sleep.

At this moment, the warm sunlight in the distance flowed out of the clouds like white yarn and fell on Fu Diao's body, making Fu Diao even more tired, and couldn't help yawning, leaning his head against the car window, and falling asleep.

The journey was uneventful until you were about to enter the territory of Amsterdam.

The sky finally darkens, and the gloom and darkness of Northern Europe finally reveal itself to Fu Tune.

It was only five o'clock, and the sky was completely dark, and the sun had completely disappeared from the horizon at some point, leaving only a trace of cyan to prove that he had come.

By the time Fu Tiao stood at the entrance of Amsterdam's central train station, it was almost dark, and the roadside lights had been fully turned on, and the warm yellow light brought the last hint of warmth to everyone, and everyone walked through the warm light, just like the world described in a fairy tale book.

In Amsterdam, the crowds here are much more crowded than in Berlin, perhaps because the houses here are smaller and the roads are slightly congested.

Fu Tune staggered off the train from the station and walked in the direction of the concert hall according to his own navigation.

The Royal Concertgebouw Amsterdam is home to one of the world's top three orchestras, the Royal Orchestra of Amsterdam.

Of course, due to schedule conflicts, Fu did not cooperate with this orchestra to play Chopin's concerto.

He went to the concert hall and after informing the staff at the door, the staff led him to the small chamber music recital hall in the concert hall.

Or because of schedule conflicts, the Grand Concertgebouw needed to be used by the Amsterdam Royal Orchestra that day, and it is said that they were going to play Mahler, the same one that Fu had heard at the Berlin Philharmoniker before.

"I'm sorry, but Deutsche Grammophon has been communicating with us for a long time, but we are really sorry that this year's Mahler performance was actually decided in January last year and announced very early." The staff apologized to Fu Tiao: "But if you have any questions, please feel free to consult me, I am at the information office at the door."

And also...... Due to the shortage of manpower, we have already helped you put the three pianos on the stage, if you decide, you can lift the piano of your choice, and we will help you handle your piano on the day of the performance. ”

With that, he bowed slightly to Fu Diao and turned to leave, leaving Fu Tiao alone standing in this concert hall of five or six hundred people.

Looking at this small concert hall, Fu Tiao's expression did not change much, for him, whether it was a small concert hall or a large concert hall, there was no difference.

Because no matter which one it is, he needs to take it seriously.

"So...... Let's get started. Fu Tune sat down in front of the piano and gently dropped the first key.

Note: This is pure fiction and should not be completely compared with the real world
