Chapter 222: Scherzo
The applause subsided, and Fu Diao was already sitting on the piano bench, raising his head to think slightly.
The choice of repertoire he played in the first half was relatively simple and difficult.
The simple reason is that you can see at a glance the origin of all the songs, as well as the idea of his idea.
It's as simple as taking all the scherzo and playing it together as a whole.
That is, Chopin's first piano scherzo to be played later.
This is followed by a second, third, and even fourth piano scherzo.
As for the difficulty, it is the extreme difficulty of this set of works.
It is even equivalent to Chopin's complete piano ballade played by Fu Tune before.
Chopin's scherzo and the ballade, both of which are four pieces, are of similar depth, and they are both extremely profound.
Therefore, the interpretation of this set of works is not simple.
At the very least, it's not as simple as everyone thinks.
After taking a deep breath, Fu Tune slowly exhaled, and his eyes did not look at any part of the piano, but closed slightly.
He's thinking, he's thinking about a lot of things beneath the music.
Let yourself be emotionally stable and be able to be in communion with Chopin's music.
When all of this is done, he will start playing.
The concert hall was extremely quiet, everyone was looking at Fu Tune, and no one changed their mood and became anxious.
Everyone looked at Fu Tune quietly.
The longer Fu tune's pause became, the higher the expectations in their hearts.
No one thinks that Fu Tune has forgotten the score, or that something else has happened, and there has been a stage accident.
Everyone just thinks that Fu is thinking about how to make the music more perfect.
This is the trust that Fu Diao's previous perfect performances have brought to everyone, and it is precisely because of so many performances that Fu Diao can pause for so long and be recognized by the audience.
Fu tune, he will not live up to everyone's recognition of him.
In front of everyone's eyes, he raised his hand and smashed it extremely hard in the treble area.
While!
His hand did not move away, but clasped the keyboard of the piano tightly, like the dying man's desire for the last straw of survival.
It's not perfect, and it's not a particularly full tone.
Instead, there was a hint of pain, hesitation, shock, and despair.
All sorts of mixed emotions grasp this high-pitched chord.
It is a work in four or three beats, in quarter note beats, in three beats per measure.
This opening chord occupies four measures.
Even with the Presto con Funco speed mark, Fu's hand stayed on the treble for a full three seconds.
Such a long beginning, which seems to be an imperfect beginning, did not dispel everyone's expectations for Fu Diao, but made them more curious.
Fu tunes what his interpretation is for?
Sure enough, under the gaze of everyone, the last straw that was not perfect slowly broke, and this emotion collapsed in an instant.
Boom......
fz, a bumpy marker, the bass chord sounded the moment the treble chord dissipated.
As......
Completely fall into the abyss.
After hearing this chord, which represented the abyss, goosebumps instantly welled up in everyone.
Wait, this beginning?
Sure enough, Fu Tune is worthy of being Fu Tune, and Fu Tune is worthy of being the hottest Chopin player in this season.
This opening two chord interpretations.
There is no superfluous action, and there is no exaggerated interpretation.
A less than perfect one, with a distinctly loose treble chord and a bass chord that feels like a nightmare.
It is like the last straw and the last piece of sand and gravel that a person who fell into the abyss grasped before he died.
The straw could not support his full strength, and this sand and stone was not compatible with the ground, but only floated on the surface, unable to borrow strength.
This is the feeling of this imperfect chord at the beginning of Fu Tune, with a hint of hoarseness.
And all this is in preparation for the bass that also occupies four bars and a twelve-beat chord.
This is just the beginning, this is just the beginning!
A real top pianist doesn't give you a slow foreshadowing from the beginning, and you can't notice the difference between him and other pianists for ten or twenty seconds, or even thirty or forty seconds, or minutes.
This kind of pianist will tell you straightforwardly at the beginning with an attitude that is like a thunderbolt.
Why do you want to listen to me?
Why do you have to listen to me?
Because I'm awesome.
I'm better than everyone else.
I have my own character in my music.
Only I can perform such a work.
You can only hear that feeling from my playing.
So, you have to listen to me.
Now they hear it in the music of Fu Tune.
They looked at Fu Tune, and listened to the two chords that Fu Tune had just played, and they felt that thunderous feeling.
A thunderous sensation that can make their brains explode.
The first two chords are really amazing.
It sounds so beautiful!
Everyone didn't know what to say, so they could only swallow a mouthful of saliva carefully and continue to listen to Fu's performance.
This is just the beginning, a place where it has just begun.
From the first note pressed by Fu to the second note now, it may have only been five or six seconds.
But it's shocking enough.
Then next.
Fu's hands returned to the middle of the music without hesitation, and the incomparably coherent chord breakdown and reconstruction flowed from his fingers.
Just like a person who is constantly struggling upwards, he strives to struggle upwards with all his strength.
Hoping that he would be able to escape from the River Styx.
Once, and again.
But I don't know if it's Fu Tune's cruelty, or Chopin's cruelty.
Every painful gasp under the waves only brings deeper pain.
With a series of descending, the sadness of music is pulled back into the abyss.
Once, and again.
Chopin's scherzo is not a scherzo, and you don't feel the slightest hint of joke in it.
All you can feel is the painful struggle.
It is completely different from Chopin's previous ballades.
Chopin's first piano ballade is one of the most inspiring of all his ballades.
But this is not the case with Chopin's Scherzo No. 1.
It is only the coldest and most ruthless of Chopin's scherzo.
The genre of the scherzo and the length of the large pieces to which Chopin was accustomed were destined to repeat a theme many times.
A simple three-part cannot be written for such a long time, and Chopin has always liked to add different flowers to the multiple repetitions of the same theme, using all kinds of modulations, strange chords, etc., that you can't think of to create instability.
And this series of disharmony eventually became a wave of bubbles, shattered with the last trace of air flowing out of the deep sea.
Sad, painful.
The second repetition obviously sounds the same note, but under the interpretation of Fu Tune, I always don't know why, with a hint of fog.
The view is not so clear, there is always a kind of confusion that is getting more and more chaotic and sinking more and more.
The first theme keeps repeating, and the first theme keeps adding flowers and changing.
With each change, Fu Tune carefully makes more changes to the music, not just ordinary, meaningless repetitions.
Repetition is power, but simple repetition is not power.
The music at the beginning is just a simple catharsis of emotions, and every wave stacking in the back is another roar of emotions.
Everything in the music is galloping in the hands of Fu Tune.
The same goes for emotions.
Endless struggle, but has been pulled into the abyss.
I want to escape, but I can never escape.
can only keep sinking.
All this made the audience listening under the stage dry mouth.
The feeling of this music is really fantastic.
The description of the first subject is simply amazing, they never thought that there would be such a description.
It comes from the expression of emotions in oriental aesthetics.
And the sound of the waves, which seems to come from the River Styx.
It's really beautiful.
They knew that Fu Tune played well, but no matter what, they never thought that Fu Tune could play so well.
This is no longer what they boast about from their friends in the continent, but a higher level.
It's definitely terrifying, okay.
As far as Fu tune is concerned, it definitely belongs to the world's first-line pianists.
Steady line!
Although I don't know how his other works are performed, in the first stage of the current theme, this one can definitely be regarded as a first-line, and even has the possibility of reaching the top line.
Really, it's so beautiful.
Some of the audience members were already fidgeting a little as they sat under the stage, feeling like they were shaking all over their bodies and feeling a little urge to release themselves.
Goosebumps are going to pop up all over my body.
It's so beautiful, it's really lovely.
However, Fu Tune did not stop his playing, he just raised his hand slightly, let the sound of the music dissipate a little, and then put his hands on the keyboard with a slight smile.
Lightly touch as if you are caressing your lover's skin.
A completely different softness emerged from his hands.
This softness is a little out of place with the previous struggle, but there is a taste of inheritance and convergence in it.
It's like there's a layer in between.
This feeling is very strange, but the inexplicable relaxation in the music made everyone lose a lot of vigilance, just smiling and looking at Fu Tune and listening to his performance.
This place can be regarded as the most gentle place in the whole text, and the gentleness makes people lose their vigilance.
Drifting, soft.
They even felt that they were no longer in the concert hall, but lying on their own beds, and a low lullaby came from the bedside.
That kind of parental tenderness gives them a quiet smile on the corner of their mouth.
I even feel like I'm already asleep.
Oh, yes......
Dreamland.
Everyone suddenly felt something.
It wasn't any other place, it was their dream.
The tenderest place in their hearts, the place they dream, the place they run away.
Emotions ripple in the heart, music swirls in the air, tenderness shakes gently in dreams.
All this made them let go of all their guards in their hearts, and they just wanted to sleep like this.
The music is so beautiful.
And the beauty in music is what Fu Tune is best at.
What he does best, what he likes to do, is to crush everything with the beauty of music.
Just as he did at the Chopin International Piano Competition.
This beauty overwhelms the entire concert hall.
It has been able to conquer those judges with high aesthetics before, and for these ordinary music lovers, or performers, the influence of Fu Tune will not be weakened in the slightest.
Instead, it will become stronger.
Because they definitely don't listen to as many judges as they do, and their resistance to beauty is not as strong as those judges.
Any resistance is superfluous until this almost everything is shattered.
All you need to do is sink quietly in the dream world constructed by Fu Tuo, and that's it.
This dream made everyone forget a lot of things.
For example, grief.
For example, sorrow.
For example...... The pain, the sadness, the despair, and the struggle in the abyss.
The beauty of Fu Tune belies many, many people, and many people forget that they were shocked by the kind of struggle they played before.
It's like an overlay layer.
Fu Tune's sense of beauty is directly piled on top of the previous emotions, which makes everyone's ability to think weakened too much.
It sounds like a wrong choice, as if the music as a whole is not so harmonious.
However, have you ever thought about such a question.
It's a dream, it's ...... Does it really exist?
No one thought about this possibility, they were already addicted to Gensokyo.
Under this beauty, Fu Tiao was like the author of the knife text, his hands paused slightly, and then smashed down!
Rumble!
A very discordant sound rushed out of the piano.
Without the slightest mercy, the knife fell and fell directly.
The pain in the music instantly tore apart all the beauty that Fu Tune had built up before.
Crush them mercilessly.
Some people with bad hearts, listening to Fu's performance, couldn't help but widen their eyes, reached out to cover their hearts, and slowly pinched their clothes.
They felt their hearts playing with Fu Tuo's hands, and then they were pinched and crushed hard.
These are two terrifying chords, which may not have any power if played alone, but no one here can withstand the onslaught of these two chords.
When you get used to pathos, it suddenly brings you into a dream, when you get used to a dream, and then ruthlessly shatters your dream.
As I said before, the first scherzo is not necessarily the best of Chopin's major works. But it must be the most unforgiving, much more ruthless than the fourth ballade.
The same shatters dreams, the first scherzo is more direct, the contrast is stronger, and the emotion is more anger. At this time, I thought the dream was real.
Everyone is already immersed in the dream, and everyone feels that the dream is real, that it exists in reality.
Those good things are really good, and they can be convincing.
They believe in it all immensely.
But it's a pity......
Dreams are dreams after all, no matter how realistic, no matter how realistic, no matter how memorable.
Dreams are false after all.
And the reality of pain and struggle is eternal.
Scherzo, who is he joking about?
Is it a crowd that has been immersed in a dream?
Or is it Chopin...... Myself?
No one knows why this work is called a scherzo, it is obviously not harmonious at all, it is not at all, it is not funny, and it is even full of horror and despair, making people unable to find the way forward.
Maybe......
Is it because of the sense of drama?
The contrast between fantasy and reality is as funny as a drama?
No one knows exactly how to understand this work, but they don't need to understand it.
They already feel the emotions that exist in the music.
Whether it is the sinking and pain in reality, or the beauty and confusion in dreams.
Everything has already left an immense impression on the fucking heart, and they have no way to escape from it, but to be forced to accept it.
After all, as the old saying goes, life is like anything, and since you can't resist, you can only accept it.
Under this music, everyone woke up from the dream, once again immersed in the pain, and felt the horror brought by Fu Tune.
It's so painful, so desperate.
But I don't know why, what Fu tunes play is something that can be listened to.
Under the eyes of everyone, Fu Tune's hands ran quickly on the keyboard, and every gap was occupied by dense notes.
With the last few chords of Fu Tune, the music gradually dissipated.
Chopin, the first piano scherzo, is completely over.
Everyone looked at Fu Diao's throat and couldn't help but itch.
They wanted to say something, but they didn't know what to say.
Now it's just a gap between the first and second pieces in the music.
Normally, this gap is used for people to cough or adjust the seat, not for applause.
But really, they really want to applaud.
Applaud at the end of this Chopin Scherzo No. 1.
He played so well that they couldn't even find any words to describe him other than "Bravo".
You won't find any weaknesses in his music, nothing you don't like.
At most, you feel that his emotions are exaggerated too much, making you too deeply affected by him and unable to extricate yourself.
But it's not a weakness, it's an excellent point.
Everyone looked at Fu Tune with complicated expressions, but they could only adjust their position slightly, clear their slightly itchy throats, and prepare themselves to enjoy Chopin's Piano Scherzo No. 2.
After all, Chopin's second piano scherzo is different from the first scherzo, and the second is more well-known than the ruthlessness and rarity of the first.
Under the eyes of everyone, Fu Tuo raised his hand again, hovered above the keys, and then ......
Press it down with a hint of scherzo.
