Fu Diao doesn't really know much about Wang Jia.

The only thing he knew about Wang Jia was that Wang Jia was Lang Liangyue's younger sister, and he studied with Lang Liangyue at the Curtis Institute of Music.

At the same time, both of them belong to the genre that leans towards the genre of skill.

Among the technical genres, Lang Liangyue pays more attention to the play of personal emotions and wants to express more musical content.

And Wang Jia is the kind of boss who is more pure, using technology to crush everything.

To put it simply, at the level of technical genres, Lang Liangyue's direction is a little similar to the French music school.

Wang Jia, on the other hand, is somewhat similar to the Russian music school.

This is Fu Diao's only understanding of Wang Jia.

Maybe a bit like Hiromi Ishihara?

This understanding is actually not wrong, and it can even be said to be very normal, but it is not very suitable for Wang Jia.

Although Wang Jia is the kind of person with very strong skills, it is a bit similar to Hiromi Ishihara who Fu Diao met in jazz before.

But the personalities of the two of them are a little different.

Hiromi Ishihara is a bit of a simple, verbal kind of person who doesn't particularly care about anything, whether it's music or anything else.

All she cares about is whether she can express her thoughts about music through music.

That's all.

And Wang Jia is the kind of person who is very casual and easy-going, who seems to be indisputable or grabbing, but is actually extremely persistent.

And what she is obsessed with is only known to herself.

Fu Tiao looked at Wang Jia and knew very well what she wanted to do when she came over today.

If you are not mistaken, you just want to compete with him for Pollini's concert opportunity.

This is a very good opportunity, even for those top musicians who have already made a name for themselves, they will not relax in this kind of opportunity, but will do their best to fight for it.

After all, who would dislike being ranked high in the world?

Although Wang Jia has never said or indicated the relationship between her and Lang Liangyue, basically everyone can know as long as they know more about it, and Wang Jia has never given up the opportunity to surpass Lang Liangyue.

She's been working on it.

Let everyone call her by her name, instead of calling her the female version of Lang Liangyue.

Fu Tiao looked at Wang Jia who was smiling in front of him, couldn't help nodding, and asked her.

"Have you been waiting at the door? Don't you go in? ”

"Go in? What to do in there? There is no air conditioning here in Europe, it is very hot inside, so many old men and old ladies sit in it to discuss things and don't turn on an electric fan or anything, the house is irritable to death, you can try to go in if you want to go in, I don't want to go in anyway. ”

Wang Jia shrugged her shoulders and said nonchalantly.

"Because of Pollini, a lot of people came today, and there were many, many pianists who were similar to you, and they also came to the scene, intending to compete for Pollini's performance, but ...... I think their performance may be more mysterious, after all, on the side of that group of people, they have actually made a similar table, who is the first and who is the second second, in fact, it is already clear at a glance. ”

"Huh? The first and second picks have come out? ”

Fu Tiao originally just wanted to simply chat with Wang Jia casually and increase his feelings.

After all, both of them are pianists who also belong to Huaguo, and it is not easy to meet.

Overseas fellows see fellow villagers, this has to be a little reminiscent of the old and something?

The rivalry between Fu Tuo and Wang Jia is far less than that between her and Lang Liangyue.

Therefore, Fu Diao is actually not particularly wary of her.

Fu Tiao asked directly at her.

"So who are the people in the first and second orders this year?"

"It's not me anyway, I'm pretty sure."

Wang Jia didn't answer Fu Diao directly, but leaned against the wall and stretched out her left hand, yawned lightly, revealing her beautiful figure, and then smiled lightly at Fu Diao and replied.

"Because I've already had my own recital here, and Pollini's recital will invite many, many people who are in a similar direction to play in order to complete the whole concert, but they definitely don't want to have the same person in a row, so you know, I shouldn't be able to do it."

When she said about this place, she couldn't help but raise her head, look at the ceiling with frescoes above her head, think for a moment, and mutter.

"Well, I don't think it's particularly accurate to say that, because I'm not completely out of reach, I just don't hope much, because my concert is very low, so even if my ranking is close to the back of everyone, it won't be too far behind, because ......"

"Because I'm actually hoping for the least, isn't it?"

Before Fu Tiao could speak, another voice came from his side.

Fu Tiao looked his gaze in the direction where the voice came from, and sure enough, an acquaintance appeared in front of him.

Lang Liangyue.

He was accompanied by another acquaintance, a German-South Korean half-breed, Gina Alice.

The two of them walked towards Fu and the two of them so easily.

Lang Liangyue greeted Wang Jia first and said with a hand.

"Hello, I haven't seen Wang Jia for a long time, how are you doing?"

Wang Jia smiled lightly and said directly to Lang Liangyue: "I'm not as happy as you, but I still received a lot of invitations to concerts, what's wrong, what about you?" ”

"Me? I'm much more chic, I didn't just participate in the Ruhr Festival with Fu Tiao a few days ago, and after the performance, I followed my friend to a music festival in France next door, and the French music festival just ended and rushed to this place. ”

Lang Liangyue seemed to be extremely satisfied with his concert arrangement, and said with a smile.

"When the Salzburg Festival is over, I probably have a little bit of a festival to run, and in the second half of this year, maybe until Christmas, I'll probably be hanging out here in Europe, after all, there are too many music festivals here, oh yes, Gina, is there still the Lucerne Festival in the future?"

Lang Liangyue suddenly remembered something and asked Alice behind her.

Alice, on the other hand, flipped through the manual in her hand very fairly, and spoke.

"The Lucerne Piano Festival is in November, so there's still a long way to go, so there's no need to rush."

"That's fine, there are a lot of music festivals lately, and I can't help it, I can only ask Gina to help me."

Lang Liangyue scratched her head at the two of them and laughed twice.

But Fu Tiao suddenly asked.

"What kind of pieces do you play at these festivals?"

"The selection of works? It's still the same set, Lang Liangyue is in Paris, what's wrong? ”

Lang Liangyue looked at Fu Diao with a little puzzlement, looking at his not very good expression, she immediately understood something and said to him.

"No, Fu Tune, don't think of everyone as a genius like you, it's okay, we people are actually very tired after playing a whole set of concerts, and we have to prepare for a long time every time, for example, this Lang Liangyue's program in Paris, I have been preparing for many months to get ready!"

"So brother, what are you playing in Salzburg this time? Or do you play the pieces from that album you did in Paris? Wang Jia saw that the emotions between the two were not quite right, and immediately interrupted the two of them and asked Lang Liangyue.

"I don't think you're playing a solo this time, right?"

"Not solo, of course."

Lang Liangyue nodded, smiled at Fu Tiao, and added.

"The piece I'm playing this time is a concerto by Mozart, a piano concerto, because this year, if we're not mistaken, the theme is opera, and at the same time it's Mozart's birthday...... Uh, death day? Anyway, it's the 240th anniversary of the anniversary, so I'm definitely going to play something Mozart, so I've prepared a set of Mozart's concertos. ”

He waved his hand at Gina Alice behind him, and Alice immediately pulled out a sheet of music from his pocket and placed it in the crowd.

Lang Liangyue pointed to this score and said with a smile.

"I'm going to play this year, Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 23, how does it feel?"

"Feeling...... Is it okay too? ”

Fu Diao did not immediately answer Lang Liangyue's question, but looked at Wang Jia beside him and nodded.

"I don't know how well you played, but I hope you can play better than the Chopin you played at the Ruhr Festival."

"Hahahaha, of course, this is for sure, no matter what I say, I will definitely be able to play my own feelings, you can rest assured, this time it will definitely not disappoint you and Wang Jia."

Lang Liangyue laughed and reached out to pat Fu and Wang Jia's shoulders.

Just looking at the two of them, he didn't know why he couldn't get his hands down, so he could only take back his outstretched hand and scratch his head.

"Uh...... Aren't you two going in now? ”

"Wait a minute, there are too many people inside, it's a little hot."

Wang Jia shook his head, then thought of something, and asked Lang Liangyue.

"Oh yes, what do you mean when you first came, you have the least hope?"

"It's just the surface of it, because my concert is tomorrow, I don't have time to play Pollini's concert at all, and even if I do, my playing style is different from Pollini's, and I already have a solo concert, so although they invited me, I will basically not be selected."

Lang Liangyue waved her hand indifferently, pointed to the inside of the room, and said casually.

"I'm here today to hang around casually, to see how you play, if you play well, cheer you on or something, it's also a relaxation before playing."

"Indeed, then you go in first, and we'll go in later."

"Okay, then I'll go in first, and I'll see you later!"

"Good!"

Wang Jia nodded, let Lang Liangyue enter the concert hall first, then looked at Fu Diao, and sighed helplessly.

"I didn't expect him to come anyway."

"Lang Liangyue? What happened to him? Fu Diao didn't know if there was any problem between Wang Jia and Lang Liangyue, so he just looked at Wang Jia and asked her.

"Is it any different if he's here?"

"It's no different, I just don't want to see him come to see my assessment, I always feel like I've gone back to the past, I'm still the one who has been in his shadow, Wang Jia, who is called the female version of Lang Liangyue, that's all."

Wang Jia shook her head slightly, shook around the outside of the concert hall a few times, and did not go in directly.

And while they waited, several more people walked in.

After these people entered, Wang Jia looked at Fu Tuo, who was not clear about these people, and explained the origin of this group of people one by one.

Not much different from what he thought.

All are top pianists in various countries.

There are countries he knows, and there are countries he doesn't know.

For example, Iraq's national treasure pianists, India's national treasure pianists, and Iran's national treasure young pianists have also come here.

Of course, these people certainly didn't grow up in these places, and most of them were born there and then emigrated with their parents.

Although they still retain their local nationality, top pianists like them only bear the name of this national treasure pianist, and no one will think that they have been trained locally.

At the same time, there are many other countries that are in a similar situation.

The exception is Huaguo.

Huaguo's side is very complicated, because you can't say whether they were cultivated locally or not, many people's foundation is cultivated in Huaguo, and then go abroad to improve and occupy a lot.

There are also those who play purely abroad, such as a very famous young pianist recently, a person who seems to be showing the limelight, named Liu Xiaoyu, the English name is Bruce Liu.

He is a pure young pianist who grew up and studied at Jiama University.

This time he was also on the scene.

Although he came with his senior brother.

He didn't qualify for the selection, but because of his fame, he was able to watch the game.

What Pollini's temporary withdrawal from the competition brought to the organizing committee was to organize enough people to run for the most suitable replacement.

Although there is a list of priorities, you can test them one by one.

But the list is just a plus.

For example, if A and B are in the same position, and A's order is higher than B's, then A will be selected and B will be eliminated.

After choosing the right players for Pollini, it is also necessary to ensure that the festival is completed as much as possible.

This is the main way to choose a candidate for the Salzburg Festival.

As for music festivals elsewhere......

Although the way of selecting candidates is different, it is the same.

Basically, after determining the candidate, the most suitable person is selected.

After Fu Diao and Wang Jia stood at the door for a long time, someone finally opened the door and invited the two of them in.

When he entered the room, Fu Diao immediately knew why Wang Jia kept saying in that place not to enter this room, this room was simply a steamer.

The reason is simple, that is, in this room, there is no air conditioning, not even an electric fan.

The sunlight outside is shining in this room, and it seems to be very warm.

If the room is empty, or if there are only one or two people, it is naturally very pleasant to sit in front of the window and look out the window.

But the question is......

There are too many people in this room.

There were almost ten people in the organizing committee sitting in the most shady position.

And then the group of spectators also had the pianist who became a substitute.

Scattered and scattered, there are almost 100 people directly occupied in this room of about dozens of square meters.

This makes a room that doesn't have a lot of air circulation feel even hotter.

Fu Tiao followed Wang Jia's steps, walked to the neighborhood close to the chairman, and kindly asked the people around him to give him a place and did it.

Sure enough, sometimes fame is good.

Even if some of the people here are not particularly familiar with Fu Diao, there is no one who is not familiar with this Wang Jia.

The name of the female version of Lang Liangyue is not something that ordinary pianists can resist at all.

Now Lang Liangyue's name in the world even has the opportunity to top the position of the world's No. 1 pianist.

Then the female version of Lang Liangyue, it is said that Wang Jia, whose skills are not inferior to Lang Liangyue, naturally also received preferential treatment from everyone.

Although Wang Jia was a little unwilling, she still took advantage of this advantage and sat in a relatively cool place, looking at the group of responsible persons.

Under the eyes of everyone, the person in charge of the candidate selection for this concert stood up from the crowd, walked to the middle of the empty space, took the document in his hand and scanned the crowd, and then spoke to everyone.

"Guys, I think all of you should know one thing, and that is that Maestro Pollini has temporarily left our Salzburg Festival due to some family problems, which is a very regrettable thing.

But unfortunately, the Salzburg Festival cannot lose its integrity as the world's top music festival because of Maestro Pollini's operation, and we need to choose the best pianist to replace Maestro Pollini in today's time.

In order to be able to choose the most suitable pianist, we will give you 30 minutes to start with a piece, a piece that you have to choose, and you will play it and give us a review.

After the performance, you need to choose other pieces to accompany the piece according to this piece, and jointly build a concert program.

Next, the staff of the organizing committee will give each of you a key to the piano room, which you can enter according to the room number indicated on the key, and then practice.

Thirty minutes later, all of you will be invited back to the room, and in the middle of the room we will bring a piano for all of you to use.

Everybody...... Do you understand? ”

None of the people spoke, and seeing that everyone was like this, the person in charge nodded and continued to speak.

"Since you don't have any problems, let's get started."

"We'll see you here in thirty minutes."

With that, he returned to his seat.

And Fu Diao also got the key to his piano room.

I'm sorry for you guys!

After I finished writing the 5k-word text yesterday, I had a whim and went to write a little yellow text.

Then I wrote 10,000 words of Xiaohuang in one night......

I am ashamed of your trust.

I'm trying to get it back.

Woooooooo
