Chapter 172: Won't It, There's a New One?

There was nothing unexpected by Wu Hong and Chen Ying, and Fu Tune's extremely perfect performance at the Royal Concertgebouw in the Netherlands was still the same as before, without any possibility of overturning.

Compared to the previous performance in Berlin, this time Fu Tune was performed in the Amsterdam Concertgebouw with many new works.

For example, Chopin's Ballade No. 1 for Piano, Piano Scherzo, Etudes, etc., which have not been played before, are played much more than before, to the point of being a little surprising.

Chen Ying looked at Fu Tiao with great excitement, her eyes full of admiration.

This time, Fu's performance directly showed everyone his strong professionalism, and Chopin's works were really handy.

Chen Ying is also the one who listened to all the works performed by Fu Tune at the Chopin International Piano Competition, and she has heard all the works from the first round to the third round, such as the works where Fu Tune is listed as the best, and she has even listened to them several times.

And now in the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, in addition to hearing the previous Fu tune in the third round, she also heard many works in the first half that Fu Tune had not performed at the Chopin International Piano Competition.

These works must not have been directly taken out and played by Fu Tuo without any preparation, this must be a work that Fu Tuo has been preparing for a long time.

Logically speaking, the degree of completion of these works is certainly not as high as the works that Fu Tiao presented at the Chopin International Piano Competition, but in fact it is a little illogical.

There is almost no difference between the level of completion of these works and the degree of completion of the second half! You can't even hear some of the previous pieces that he hasn't played.

What is this concept? This is simply super-god, right?

This is simply like an indication that Fu Diao released water at the Chopin International Piano Competition, and there is still a lot of inventory left in his hand, and he randomly picked out a few works, and completely defeated Zhao Chengzhen, the heir to the French music school.

Chen Ying didn't dare to think about this strength.

Regardless of Fu Diao's strongest strength for the time being, just simply discussing Fu Diao's ability in Chopin's repertoire, he is already several times more than the one he knows the most awesome in Chen Ying's school.

Of course, there is another possibility, but this possibility is smaller and more shocking, Chen Ying subconsciously ignored this possibility.

This could be ......

Fu Diao's speed of perfecting a work is not at all as others think, preparing for a Chopin International Piano Competition for two or three years, just prepare a few works, Fu Diao, he may play a piece in less than half an hour, and to completely perfect a whole work, it may really take a few hours.

At most, maybe just a few days.

There was once a saying here at the Conservatory of Music, that is, how to determine whether you are talented or not......

If you take a professional class on Thursday, then after you finish Thursday, you run around the world, travel everywhere, don't care about anything, play six days a week, and wait until Wednesday, stay up all night and play all day.

If you can return to class perfectly the next day, then it proves that you are really talented in music, if you can't...... Then prepare to be criticized by the teacher.

Chen Ying has always regarded this sentence as a joke before, and has never taken it seriously, after all, I feel that the time is very tight when I practice seven days a week, the time is not enough at all, and the requirements for returning to class for each class are so high, how can it be possible to practice for seven days in one day?

But now, the thoughts that flashed through Chen Ying's mind made Chen Ying waver.

"However, if it's Fu Tune...... It's not that it can't be? ”

After the end of the first half, when the halftime was a little resting, Chen Ying looked at the stage, bit her fingers, and unconsciously whispered.

This sentence startled Wu Hong, who was about to go to the toilet on the side, and looked back at Chen Ying, his eyes a little puzzled.

"Huh? What do you say? What guest officer can't? ”

Chen Ying woke up suddenly at this time, looking at the boyfriend next to her, she couldn't help but feel a little funny, and reached out to pat him.

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking, Fu tunes a lot of the works he played in the first half, many of which he hasn't played in public, how to play the works that are an hour and a half long."

"What did you play out of, that's how it bounced out...... Wu Hong was puzzled, and then rethought for a while, he also woke up suddenly, looking at Chen Ying, his pupils shook.

"I knock? Wait a minute? What did you just say? He has not played most of the works he played in the first half of Fu Tune in public? Is that what you mean? ”

"Well, at least Fu has not played in the first, second, and third rounds of the Chopin International Piano Competition." Chen Ying nodded with great certainty.

Wu Hong asked stupidly: "What about the fourth round......

"Poof...... Are you stupid? The fourth round is the concerto round, and there is no concerto today, how can he play it. Chen Ying almost didn't laugh when she heard it, and gently hammered Wu Hong's shoulder.

Wu Hong rubbed his shoulder that had just been beaten by Chen Ying, forgetting to smirk, his eyes were just full of incomparable shock.

"If what you say is true, then Fu Tuo's strength in memorizing music is really enviable, whether it is the amount of his repertoire library, or the speed at which he accepts new works, this speed is enviable."

Compared with Chen Ying, who can clearly feel the strength of Fu Tune in music, especially in the piano, Wu Hong is not so keen on the piano, and at the same time put a saxophone work, as well as a piano work, he definitely prefers to listen to the saxophone work, and can feel the strength of the saxophone player more.

This is the main reason why he has a vague and unclear sense of Fu Diao's strength.

But......

Now with the strength that Chen Ying just said, even if he doesn't learn the piano, he can feel it very clearly, after all, he also needs to memorize music.

Memorizing music is a very difficult problem for all music students, and many people who study music will be troubled by this problem and even feel a headache.

There are even people who can't sleep all day because of the problem of memorization, and they are studying how to memorize the whole work completely every day.

There may be many people who think that it's not very easy to memorize this thing, isn't it? If you play it every day, hundreds of times, and let your body memorize this piece completely with muscle memory, won't it just become it?

As long as the body can remember, then what are you afraid of?

Sounds pretty good, but the question is...... This is not the goal of memorization, and the body memory thing is extremely unreliable, and it can even be regarded as a dross in learning music.

One of the problems that all those who use their bodies to memorize sheet music will eventually encounter is forgetting.

Physical memory is easy to forget, and it is actually okay to forget under normal circumstances, and you can go down directly after a few more times, but what if it is in some particularly stressful occasions? For example, an exam, a concert, or something else?

In these places, do you use your body memory to remember what you need to play very clearly?

Obviously, it is completely impossible.

Therefore, for those who learn music, body memory is the most unreliable way to remember, and the most reliable way to remember is to memorize the content by rote, just like memorizing a language document.

For example, the first note of Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody is an octave #C, and the dynamics are F, and it needs to be played twice before jumping to the top note.

Chopin's Ballade No. 1 for Piano begins with an octave of C, followed by a Naples sixth, C, As, Es, H, and so on.

If it's not enough to just memorize like this, if you ask a professional musician, give them a few pieces of stave paper, and ask them to write down hundreds of bars, tens of thousands of notes, plus all the emojis, musical terms, they can write it down for you completely, exactly the same.

Not only that, but he will even be able to give you an analysis of the direction of the chords and write the chord markers below.

This is the only way to completely memorize this work.

It sounds like I'm tired, and I even feel like I'm reciting an entire teacher's list, which is not just a feeling of tiredness, it's already a pain.

Almost every professional piano student has to memorize more than a dozen pages of sheet music in this way within a week of getting a new score.

You know, this is just the simplest, most basic memorize.

It took so long to memorize the score, so difficult, so what about the back?

Normally, a brand-new large-scale work that can be used as a reserve for a concert, basically within a month, you need to have it completely completed, and this pressure can no longer be simply counted as large, but very painful.

Wu Hong, Chen Ying and others are deeply trapped in this pain and can't extricate themselves, and they don't have the heart to take care of other content at all, so they are very sensitive to the pain of memorizing music and the reserve of concert repertoire.

As a result, they now hear Fu Tune's concert, watch Fu Tune shine on the stage, show extraordinary musical literacy, and have a stock of concert repertoire that is not visible at all.

Not to mention anything else, just simply tune the amount of repertoire in the first half, if you give it to Wu Hong and Chen Ying to prepare, if you don't ask for a repertoire reserve, just simply practice it to the level where you can go to the concert, not to say that after practice, you will throw it in the repertoire library and keep reviewing.

So with the current performance, with these temporary extra works, they definitely need to prepare for nearly a year in the first half of the year to practice such a number of repertoire.

And want to reach the level that Fu Tiao is currently showing ......

This is not how long you can prepare, but you need to prepare slowly with water milling, if you can barely reach the edge of Fu Tune, a piece of work they need at least several years to grind this work, grinding all the details in place, plus their musical talent, can barely do it.

Therefore, they don't think about Fu Tiao's own level of musical strength, just consider the amount of repertoire that is currently on display, and this alone is enough to make them feel hopeless.

Whether this is a stored repertoire of Fu Tune, or this one has only been practiced in the last few weeks, it is enough to shock people.

It's just that the reality may be more shocking than they think.

These works were temporarily selected by Fu after he was transferred to the Royal Concert Hall in the Netherlands and felt the environment in the concert hall.

From the selection of works, to the completion of practice, to the processing to a level that can enter the concert hall to play, all this may only take two or three days, and Fu Diao still insists on the 8-hour work system, and the kind that still needs to touch the fish in the 8-hour time.

If you actually count it, it may not even be 24 hours, so Fu Tune has processed these works and packaged them to the level of the second half of the solo performance he had previously performed at the Konzerthaus Berlin.

It may sound a little too scary, but for Fu Tuo, all of this is actually a bit of a matter of course, and it is not difficult.

Because his level itself has reached this level.

The works he plays don't need special processing at all, he just needs to memorize them.

For Chopin, Fu Tiao has experienced the Chopin International Piano Competition, and he already has his own method of interpreting Chopin, he knows how to interpret Chopin, how to express Chopin perfectly and comfortably.

No matter what Chopin's works you give to Fu Tuo, Fu Tuo can interpret his own and Chopin's feelings.

On the basis of respecting the original score, realize self-worth.

As for memorizing the score, it is even more difficult for Fu Tune, he is the kind of person who can repeat a work exactly once he listens to it, and now when he is given the score, how long can he memorize a work completely and without any difference?

The answer is......

Four hours.

There was still a lot of time spent in the four hours of reading the score, analyzing the score, and actually playing it two or three times and he could memorize it directly.

That is to say, Fu Diao did not show off to everyone in the concert hall, if he really told the audience in the concert hall that he had only prepared for today's concert for three days to reach today's state.

Let's not discuss whether the mood of ordinary audiences who come just to listen to Fu tunes will become particularly bad, but simply discuss the attitude of those students at the conservatory.

Those of them may really hear this sentence of Fu Tune and lose hope of continuing to learn music.

Four hours is worth a few weeks' work.

The most terrifying thing is not that his talent is higher than you or that he works harder than you, but the most terrifying thing is ......

You've worked hard for weeks or even a month, and you're trying to get out of the work that you don't have the talent to do for hours.

What a joke!

Wu Hong, Chen Ying, and others who chased from Berlin to Amsterdam at the Conservatory of Music were completely dumbfounded when they looked at Fu Tune's newly added repertoire, and their brains had even stopped working, leaving only self-doubt.

And those who are not from the conservatory of music hear the performance of Fu Tune, and all they feel is the amazement of Fu Tune.

They originally thought that this time they might hear the same content as last time, but they didn't expect that Fu Diao still had so many things that had not been displayed?

This one is also a surprise!

As for those who have only just started listening to Fu tunes in Amsterdam, they don't think so much, they are just shocked that Fu tunes are worthy of being Fu tunes, and the winner of the Chopin International Piano Competition is indeed worthy of the name.

Wow, this drop key, wow, this timbre, wow, this interpretation!

Mom, this Fu tune performance is really amazing!

When Fu Tiao returned from a backstage break, the Amsterdam audience was even more excited.

The third round of Fu Tune's collection of works has crushed the collection of works completed by countless people, and after some time of tempering and the baptism of concerts, it has become more perfect.

Therefore, when they looked at Fu Tune, their expressions became extremely quiet and harmonious, and they immersed themselves in the music and quietly appreciated the expression of Fu Tune in music.

When the last note of Fu Tune fell, the entire concert hall instantly erupted in applause comparable to a tsunami.

Everyone was applauding and shouting for Fu Tune with all their might.

Obviously, this is only a small concert hall with only about 500 people, but with the efforts of these people, the applause and shouts in the concert hall are even more lively than the large venue of several thousand people.

Fu Tiao stood on the stage, looking at the people around him, his originally slightly tense expression gradually relaxed, and he couldn't help but smile lightly and bow vigorously to everyone.

The applause became even louder.

At first, he was a little worried, saying that he had been playing the same set of works on his concert tours, and he hadn't gotten bored of it, and his audience would have started to get bored.

He seems to have played this set four or five times.

But judging from the applause at the scene, there should be no problem with these people.

Thinking of this, he bowed to the crowd again, then turned around and walked off the stage.

The applause remained loud and became more uniform as time went on, followed by a uniform "encore" sound.

Listening to the applause around him, Wu Hong, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but get excited.

He poked Chen Ying lightly, and then rubbed his hands with an extremely expectant expression.

"Ying! It's coming, it's coming! I didn't hear enough of Fu's encore last time, and I didn't even go back to look for the recording but didn't find it, I just don't know if Fu Diao can reappear in Berlin's encore again this time! ”

"It will definitely be reproduced, after all, Fu Diao's level is here, just that relaxed and freehand appearance at that time, you say that he plays a little better, I will not be surprised."

Chen Ying spoke without hesitation, and then shouted Encore with everyone.

After Fu Diao appeared on the curtain three or four times in a row, he couldn't withstand the strong demand of everyone, and under the call of everyone, Fu Tiao walked out of the stage again.

He reluctantly sat down at the piano again, and when the voices of the crowd had subsided, he smiled at them.

"Well, since you all want to hear it, let's have another piece, or a song? Or is it the black key? ”

After that, he didn't wait for everyone to speak, raised his hand without any hesitation, and then dropped the key.

However, before the key was dropped, Wu Hong's eyes couldn't help but widen, and he spoke in disbelief.

"Won't you...... And the new ones? ”

Normally, if I'm not tired at night, I can update at 8 o'clock the next morning.

But if it's too late in the night, after 0:00, I'll wake up the next morning and write, and that's probably when it's updated.
