Chapter 199: Hiromi Ishihara

Fu turned his head and looked at He Shen, who had just handed out the admission ticket, and the ...... standing beside him Who, couldn't help but be stunned.

He didn't expect He Shen to come at all, let alone that He Shen didn't come alone, and he brought a very familiar person, so familiar that he couldn't say her name.

He Shen also didn't expect Fu Diao to be in this place.

He knew that Fu Tune's jazz was very good, and he would come to Paris for a vacation this week to prepare for his concert, and he also thought that he might meet Fu Tune on the streets of Paris, but he never thought that it would be in this place.

He Shen didn't think much about it, and immediately took Zhao Zitong two steps forward, walked to Fu Diao's side and sat down, raised his hand and asked for two glasses of beer, and couldn't help asking.

"No, Fu Tiao, why are you here? I'm looking for a one-time ticket that my friend asked for to have fun, how about you? If I'm not mistaken, you don't have any friends, right? ”

Speaking of this, He Shen felt wrong, and immediately explained: "I didn't mean that you have a bad personality, dull and eccentric, and it is difficult to make friends, don't misunderstand, I just said that you have been touring in Europe recently, and it is difficult to meet the kind of ...... that can communicate all the time Never mind. ”

He Shen always felt that something was not quite right as he spoke, so he immediately stopped his mouth and looked at Zhao Zitong beside him with expectant eyes.

He felt like he might be a little less able to speak.

Zhao Zitong sighed at this time, scratched He Shen's back, and said to Fu Diao.

"What He Shen means is, how are you here and through what channels did you learn about this place?"

"It's nothing, it's just that when I was touring before, the principal of the Royal Conservatory of Music in Brussels gave me an invitation to become a member of their club."

Fu Tiao smiled and took a sip of the mineral water on the table, and said to He Shen: "I also didn't expect the two of you to come." ”

"Wait, Rector of the Royal Conservatory of Brussels?" He Shen couldn't help but become strange when he heard this: "How many days have we only been apart?" It seems like it's only been a little over a month, right? How can you already make friends with the Rector of the Royal Conservatory of Music in Brussels? How do I feel that we have been separated not for a month but for a year? ”

"When I returned to Encore, I used the help of the students of their school to give the students of their school a stage, and then the principal of the Royal Conservatory of Music in Brussels gave me this card as a thank you, as if it was still a membership card."

"That's ......"

He Shen scratched his head.

My head hurts, and I feel like I'm going to grow my brain.

His student won the championship of the Chopin International Piano Competition, He Shen actually felt only pride, after all, you can say that Fu Tune was learned from him.

But now, I have been asking my friends for a long time for the admission ticket, and Fu Diao has actually become a member and can send it directly, which is not a pride, but a sadness.

When their own students don't know it, they surpass their own sadness in a strange social position.

And...... Why did you have to ask for a friend at that time? Looks like he owes the man five times for drinking!

He Shen's heart was full of mixed feelings, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally sighed and shook his head.

"Made, I'm obviously the teacher, why am I somehow worse than my students......"

"Relax, now is just the beginning, there are still things you envy in the future."

Zhao Zitong touched He Shen's back with a smile on the side, and then gave He Shen a hard blow again: "Fu Diao is now twenty years younger than you, and he has a bright future." ”

"Don't say it, don't say it, please don't say it, it's shameful enough to compare yourself with your own students, so don't make up for me again."

He Shen's expression became even more painful when he heard it, and he immediately told Zhao Zitong to spare him.

Fu Tiao sat on the side and watched the two of them play with a smile, sipping the mineral water in his mouth, and looking at the piano on the stage in a daze.

I didn't expect my teacher He Shen to come to this place to participate in this small gathering.

And listening to Mr. He Shen, it was not easy for him to get this ticket, and it seemed that he had a lot of relationships to get this ticket.

So it seems that Hiromi Ishihara may be very famous, otherwise it would not have attracted so many people to listen.

Fu Tiao looked at the two people who were playing the piano and saying love on the side, and couldn't help asking.

"Mr. He, is Sir Hiromi Ishihara really that strong? Can you attract so many people to listen? ”

"Hiromi Ishihara?"

He Shen couldn't help but stop the movements in his hand after hearing Fu Tuo's doubts, and after looking at Fu Tuo and muttering for a while, he replied: "Her jazz is indeed quite strong, and she may be the strongest jazz pianist in the younger generation at present, right?" Her status is even a bit like our Huaguo Lang Liangyue, but because jazz is more niche than classical, she has not given concerts in that kind of super-large place. ”

Speaking of this, He Shen paused and added: "Although I don't know why you mentioned her, but with so many people coming today, the attraction she occupies is actually only about 40%, and the rest is for Kapustin." ”

"Kapustin?"

Fu Tiao didn't expect to hear a new name.

He Shen explained: "Kapustin and Ishihara Hiromi are similar, neither of them ever felt that they were a jazz pianist, they thought of themselves as an ordinary classical musician, Kapustin has a higher status in jazz, and the works he composed, no matter which one they are, are almost the pinnacle of this jazz and classical combination." ”

"Jazz, a combination of classical?"

Fu Diao's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this.

What he has been doing recently is actually similar to the combination of classical jazz, although it is relatively shallow, basically based on showing off his skills, with his own understanding of jazz, plus Chopin's main theme, resulting in a semi-jazz and semi-classical music performance.

It's a great piece for encores and show-offs, but it's a bit frivolous for concert repertoire.

Therefore, Fu Diao is really a little curious about what kind of situation it is today.

The people were still entering, and at about seven o'clock in the evening, the workers went to put away the sign at the door, and even closed the door.

Although acquaintances can still push the door in, passers-by outside have no way to notice that this place is a small bar.

The people in the bar were already sitting in their seats, laughing and talking.

The house is a little noisy.

And under this noise, an Asian woman wearing a long red dress and silver-white high heels, pulling the hem of her skirt, jumped two steps forward, walked to the center of the stage, waved vigorously to the crowd, and shouted with laughter.

"Hello guys! Why are they all sitting over there, didn't they say it was a jazz exchange? I'm here to play for this exchange, what are you still sitting there doing? ”

β€œHiromi!”

The crowd under the stage immediately cheered loudly.

Fu Diao looked at He Shen beside him, and He Shen immediately pointed at her and introduced: "Ishihara Hiromi, she is the one you asked me before." ”

Hiromi Ishihara stood on the stage, looked at the crowd who were sitting there, thought for a moment, stretched out a finger and swiped across the crowd, and finally stopped somewhere in the distance and nodded.

"Caramell, Burke! I see both of you! Come on! ”

"No...... Hiromi, why did so many people specifically order the two of us? ”

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and play on stage, we haven't played together in a long time, let me see if you two get stronger, don't be like last time, especially you, Burke, your bass last time was really soft, and your skin is completely different, this time I'll give you another chance."

"Gan! Hiromi, you're a girl, can you not say it so disgusting! ”

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up!"

Fu Diao's gaze immediately turned to the position where Hiromi Ishihara was pointing, and there were two people who didn't know which country they were standing up, one white and one black.

The black one is Burke, and the white one is Caramel

The two glanced at each other, shrugged helplessly, took a few steps forward, and walked onto the stage.

Berkela picked up the double bass on the ground, plucked a few strings casually, and after a little adjustment, a very dynamic bass line came out of his violin.

On the other side, Calamel walked directly to the drum kit, took out his drumstick from his pocket, and played a drum flower, which was a very brilliant show.

As Fu Tiao said at the beginning, the people who were present were either the regular members of the jazz club, and their jazz performance was almost to the point of perfection.

Or, just like He Shen, even if you are not a member, you know something about jazz.

The three people on stage were crazy to show off their skills, and the coolest one at the beginning was the drum-beating Calammel, whose beat was extremely steady.

His left hand may be playing seven beats, his right hand may be twenty-three beats, his left foot is two beats, and his right foot is five beats.

It sounds chaotic, but if you listen carefully, you can see that his chaos is extremely orderly, and every beat is on the beat, which is extremely showy.

"This drumming is a bit powerful!"

He Shen also heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said: "The solo part of the drummer can be played so steadily, no matter what the beat and technique is, there is no trace of chaos at all, skills, speed, and strength are all combined, this person is very awesome." ”

"It does ......"

Although he had played this type of jazz before, he had met a lot of drummers.

But those people obviously don't have a tenth of the level of the current person.

And the guy on the side with the bass bass is even more so.

Under the compound rhythm that the drummer tortured so much, he can still pluck the bass in his hand in accordance with the drummer's playing habits, bringing a different rhythm, and the two are perfectly combined.

It may not sound like much, but if you really imitate his actions, you can see how strong his level of strength really is.

Hiromi Ishihara, who was standing on the stage, was obviously excited, she rushed to the piano quickly, staring at the two people around her, her eyes gradually lit up, and she couldn't help but smile.

"Not bad! Burke! This bass of yours tickles me, it's been a long time since I've heard you flirt like this......"

"Fuck off, you Hiromi! Hurry up and play your piano, we've all made it like this, and if you don't show some new tricks, you won't want to sleep tonight. ”

"Hahaha, okay, let's see if I can't sleep or if you two can't sleep, I just happened to think of a new piece of music recently, let me think about it, Caramel you give me some space, your drum is too hard, I don't have a place to play, give me a seven-beat melody."

With that, she slammed it down with a hard octave.

Rumble!

A loud voice rang out, and at the same time, like a tail flame of a meteor, her right hand began the main theme she had just thought of above.

There are no jazz chords, no special conjugations, just a very simple seven-beat main theme, a beat that is rarely seen in classical music.

And this melody grabbed everyone's ears the moment it came out.

Nice, nice.

This melody is a repetitive melody, with the bass of the left hand smashing all the time, changing the conjugation of the chords and giving it a richer color.

Fu Diao's eyes couldn't help but light up, he turned his head to look at He Shen beside him, and couldn't help asking, "Is this modern jazz?" ”

"No, this should be...... Sir Hiromi Ishihara! ”

He Shen also looked at Hiromi Ishihara in front of him with a little excitement.

Hiromi Ishihara didn't stop playing the same melody, she soon came to a trill, and then the music was stopped with a bang, and then an even more catchy melody flowed out of her hand.

It's still seven beats.

It's just that her performance is extremely weird.

She was like a schoolboy who had just learned to play the piano, poking wildly on the piano with only the simplest finger of her hands.

A melody expanded from the main theme instantly stirred up waves from the piano.

And Fu Diao, but goosebumps rose.

At this moment, he sensed that something was wrong, because the music that was being played in Ishihara's hands now felt strange.

The music she played no longer looked like music played by the piano at all, but like something......

Fu Tiao thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with a suitable adjective.

And at this time, He Shen added on the side.

"This place feels like electric steel, or a game console? How did she manage to make the piano sound like that? What did she add? ”

"I don't know, it seems to be a simulated form?"

Fu Tune groaned and didn't come up with a definite answer, but Hiromi Ishihara on the stage was already completely excited.

No one knows what's going on in her head, but her eyes are so bright that you can even feel her body shaking, like using a small electric toy.

Her body also left the piano's bench and leaned forward, her foot pressed the pedal, slamming the piano hard.

Every child who plays the piano must have cried when his parents beat him, and every piano played by Hiromi Ishihara must have secretly shed tears behind his back.

At this moment, Hiromi Ishihara is completely different from the gentle pianist in everyone's hearts, she is like a madwoman, smashing the piano in her hand.

But if it was just a smash, it would be completely impossible that so many people didn't care about her, and no one would come to Paris to listen to her concert for her alone.

Fu Tiao could hear very clearly the restraint she maintained while she was excited.

Her left hand was pressing the keyboard, still the main theme from before, still the same lines as before, without any change in the slightest, and the rhythm did not even lose a single point.

And the kind of smashing the keyboard in her right hand is not a random smash, she smashed it with her fist, it is actually a chord?

Is this a show?

Fu Tiao couldn't help but think so when he looked at Hiromi Ishihara, but soon, he vetoed the idea.

Obviously, this is definitely not a show! This is how she unleashes her inner excitement.

For example, she just played a chord that was smashed, which may sound strange.

Four connected notes together, no matter how you think about it, it can't be a chord!

But actually, in some places, this can really be used as a chord.

For example, the seventh chord goes to the fifth note and the nine notes are inflected, which is a perfect four-note chord.

For example, the first and third notes are d and f, while the seventh note is c and the ninth note is e.

It may sound a bit strange, but the formal chords allow jazz to completely unleash all the possibilities of music and make music more expansive.

When she was smashing the piano like a madman, she actually restrained her brain, let her brain calm down, and perfectly pressed the chords and their direction.

Fu Tiao fumbled his arm, and for some reason, he always felt that his goosebumps were about to rise.

Calm and crazy are a perfect blend in the same person.

It's like the phrase in classical music.

The hardest thing for a pianist is to keep the audience excited while remaining absolutely calm.

Now this Hiromi Ishihara has done it perfectly, and not only that, but she's also getting herself excited at the same time.

While being excited and crazy, he also kept calm.

This kind of person, and the music she plays, is really terrifying.

Fu Tiao looked at Hiromi Ishihara and didn't know what to say, so he could only quietly enjoy her performance until the end of her performance of this one-minute piece.

Her arms flicked, her body trembling and panting.

Her hair has also changed from its original regularity to messy, and you can still see the sweat left by her at the ends of her hair.

Even though it was only a few minutes of playing, it was like running an 800-meter race.

Applause rang out.

She watched her performance, looked at the people around her who were clapping, couldn't help grinning, wiped the sweat from her forehead with her arms, and said to the two people behind her.

"You two are really too soft, it's not fun at all, it's boring, go home and practice more, and try to make me more comfortable next time."

With that, she turned her head to look at the group, glanced at her, licked her lips and said.

"But I've heard that there's a very powerful newcomer this time, named Fu Dio, you know...... Where is he? ”

I don't know if it will be blocked if it will be written like this......
