While the Salzburg Festival was still debating who could be Pollini's replacement, the crowd outside the circle was basically going crazy.

Salzburg only told everyone that Pollini could not play, but it never said who could play in place of Pollini.

It was a big deal, and they didn't anticipate the impact of Pollini's inability to play.

They couldn't have imagined that because of Pollini's withdrawal, even if there might be a very powerful pianist as a substitute, it would not disappoint everyone, but it still made many people struggle in that place, wondering whether they should just start refunding their tickets.

Again, a lot of people are here for Pollini.

They didn't come to Pollini's concert because they said how strong or invincible Pollini was.

They're just fans of Pollini.

Even if Pollini is old, even if he can't play anymore, every time he plays, there are a lot of mistakes, they can't listen to it at all, and they want to come and listen to Pollini, just because they are Pollini fans.

When I was young, I listened to so many Pollini concerts, and now that the pianist is old, what's wrong with coming and paying for myself when I was younger?

Isn't it enough to see such an old Pollini bouncing around on stage to play the piano for them?

Well, it may not be alive and kicking, but Pollini can at least breathe.

Seeing Pollini who can still breathe is the most fortunate thing for many fans.

For example, when you watch a movie, you see those actors.

Take, for example, Stephen Chow.

Many people's movies may not be very good, but everyone is still willing to buy tickets to watch them because of his reputation.

Everyone watched so many of his movies when they were young, and now they make up for a ticket, what's wrong?

Maybe it's not funny, but I just want to see him alive on the screen, what's wrong?

That's how many people come to see Pollini's concerts.

What is the situation now?

Pollini's son may have had a little bit of an accident and was not in good health, and Pollini's mood was not particularly stable, so he left the concert directly.

It's as if Stephen Chow no longer has Stephen Chow in his movie.

You've watched a movie like this in the past, what's the point?

It's not interesting at all, okay!

It's just boring.

What did I come to see your movie for?

Isn't it just to see you Stephen Chow jumping around in front of me?

Even if you change to other big stars, big comedy stars, even if they are also funny, but without Stephen Chow in the movie, many people will really feel disappointed.

Therefore, before the Salzburg Festival Pollini concert has even started, many people have already started to refund tickets online. 、

"Wow, it's really not going to work this year, I waited for Pollini for a long time, just to be able to see Pollini so I chose to buy this ticket, but Pollini didn't come, it's a pity."

"Why don't you wait a little bit and see who the players on the bench are? I'm really curious to see who will be able to take Pollini's place this year and perform the concert. ”

"I don't want to wait anyway, there is no Pollini's concert at all, it's a pity that I bought the train ticket, I was sure that Pollini could come over for a concert, I directly booked a non-cancelable second-class ticket, but now the concert is canceled, and the train ticket can't be canceled, it's a pity, I feel like I'm the same as a resentful."

"Who isn't, who isn't a non-cancellable train ticket, if you can't cancel the train ticket, you need to add a full 10 euros, I didn't want to, so I bought it directly and couldn't be canceled, now I think about it I feel like I'm really stupid......"

"Pain, my train ticket is the same as yours, I also specially added a seat and upgraded to first class, and that's it? It's really ......."

"Why hasn't Salzburg released the list of substitutes, what are they waiting for in that place, really, if the personnel are good, I will continue to pass, otherwise I will not want the money directly."

"The people who can play in place of Pollini are the ones who are still there and going to Salzburg later, right? Does anyone know which bigwigs are in Salzburg right now? ”

"I know a few, Argerich, Barenboim, the two of them must be in Salzburg right now, but the two of them shouldn't have any chance to play, and even if they wanted to replace Pollini, their company wouldn't let them replace Pollini, which is too cheap."

"It's also said that both of them are the top pianists in the world, and even the top among the top pianists, if they really replace Pollini, a pianist of the same level as them, it will really be a bit cheap."

"Anyone else? What other big stars are coming? ”

"I know some of the top pianists, such as Lang Liangyue and the female version of Lang Liangyue, that is, Wang Jia, both of them are also on the Salzburg side now, but there is a problem......

"What's the problem?"

"Both of them will play later, Wang Jia is a solo performer, if she is allowed to play twice in a row, neither I nor the Salzburg Music Festival Organizing Committee will allow such a thing to happen, as for Lang Liangyue, he has a symphony, Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 23, unless the two of them reconstruct a new concert repertoire, otherwise they will definitely not be able to play."

"It's also said that it's not just them, it seems that many other people are actually about the same, and everyone is already at the festival, so even if the organizing committee wants them to come and save the venue, they will make special requirements for them, such as not playing the same work in two concerts, so the requirements are too big."

"Is there anything else you haven't mentioned?"

"I don't know, but now the pianists with names and surnames seem to be being dragged to Salzburg for concerts, and I don't know about the others."

"There are names and surnames...... I remember a big guy who seemed to have his concert canceled, and he might come to Salzburg? ”

"Who?"

"Hamerin, the king of piano skills, Hamerin, he just finished his concert at the Ruhr Piano Festival the other day, and now I don't know what kind of situation he is in, it is said that he seems to have canceled his concert in Salzburg due to time conflicts."

"Hamerin, the one who plays Chopin's etudes with one hand?"

"Oh oh oh, I remember, Godowsky! The guy who played Godowsky's arrangement of Chopin's etudes, that guy was really awesome, he didn't seem to like to play normal works, but specialized in those niche genres of virtuosity, with the goal of transcending the limits of the human body, would he come to Salzburg? ”

"I don't know, I think he may feel a little too stressed and give up, his ability to work under pressure is not very good, although his skills may be the best of all the pianists, but his ability to withstand pressure and musical expression is not perfect, and his skills are too much to surpass."

"What other pianist can replace Pollini? It's not going to be like that, is it? ”

"You say...... Is it possible to tune Fu? ”

The originally extremely lively Salzburg Music Festival Forum actually had a slight stagnation at this time.

Some people don't quite know what Fu Tune is all about.

A group of people didn't think of the name Fu Tune at all.

And there is a group of people who feel the possibility.

"It seems that Fu Tune is really likely to replace Pollini, the youngest top pianist now, his level strength and musical expression ability are all excellent, and his energy is still very strong, he can indeed replace Pollini."

"Well, I may not know much about the piano world, may I ask who Fu Tune is?"

"Fu Tiao is a young pianist, winner of the 2015 Chopin International Piano Competition, then made his successful debut at the Chopin International Piano Competition, and after a simple European tour, he was invited to the Ruhr Piano Festival, where he won the best newcomer at this year's Ruhr Piano Festival."

"Huh? The best newcomer at the Ruhr Piano Festival is Fu tune? Didn't you just say when I swiped the news before, the most promising and best newcomer this year should be Arcades? He successfully played a god-level scene, and I hear you mean that this performance is particularly strong. ”

"You can't keep up with any of the versions, when is your version? According to my friends in the Ruhr area, Fu Tune had a complete epiphany after hearing Arcade's performance, and successfully played a god-level scene at the performance site, which shocked everyone present. ”

"I'm a little curious when you talk about this place, is there a record of Fu Tune? The record of the Ruhr Piano Festival should have come out before, right? ”

"It's out, but I'm not sure if you can buy it, they have a lot of stores in many places, there are only 10,000 records in the world, I bought six copies with my friend, and when it was just released, there were only a few hundred copies left on the Internet, and now I feel like it should be gone, right?"

"You can't buy Fu tune's records online, the records on the Internet have been bought, there are only 5,000 records on the Internet, if you want to buy Fu tune's records, you have to go to the physical store and ask, there should be hundreds of records in a city, right? It may be just to test the waters, and the number of overall publications is not large, so you can make an appointment if you want. ”

"Well, I can go back and see, and when I heard you say that, I became a little bit interested in Fu Tune...... Then again, why are you saying that Fu Tune might be able to replace Pollini? ”

"Fu Tune's work he played at the Salzburg Festival this year is a piano quadruple, Mozart's one and Beethoven's one, and I haven't participated in a solo performance, so I feel that Fu Tune may be on it."

"Has anyone heard Fu Tune's concert in Salzburg this year? How does it feel? I haven't heard Fu Tune's concert yet, and I've heard many of my Chinese friends say that Fu Tune's tickets are the most difficult to buy, because the number of Fu Tune's concerts is not very large, at most about one or two thousand people, and the people who buy it are not only Chinese, but also a lot of people from other countries, so his tickets are basically empty in seconds. ”

"I didn't listen to it, I didn't know that Fu Tune was playing chamber music in Salzburg, did Fu Tune him switch to chamber music? A piano genius's career change? ”

"I listened, and unlike what I said before, Fu didn't want to change careers or anything, he just wanted to try to see if there were any other ways to inspire him with music, so he went to play chamber music, which I saw when I saw an interview in a musician's magazine before."

"What's going on? I'm curious about how good Fu is at him. ”

"How so...... Very strong! I can only say that it is very strong, because I only went to the concert because of the name Fu Tuo, and Fu Tune also showed superhuman dominance in this small chamber music, directly controlling everything in the whole orchestra in his hands, driving the orchestra forward, very strong, really strong, but I can't hear more of it, and I am not an expert in chamber music. ”

"I am, I don't know Fu Tune, but I listen to a lot of chamber music, it's similar to what I said upstairs, Fu Tune's ability and level are really strong, I personally like his works, if I can always hear his works."

"It's done, I'm expecting the Salzburg Festival to do something, and if you don't give us Pollini, you'll have to give us a tune, right?"

"Well, I think it might be a bit mysterious, because there are a lot of other backup musicians who haven't played over there, and Fu is strong, but can he really be a replacement for Pollini?"

"It's better than Lang Liangyue, right? I don't want to hear Lang Liangyue, Lang Liangyue's level is strong, but if you listen to it too much, you will feel a little tired, every time it is the same feeling, no matter what the work, you can feel that this is what he played when you hear his performance, it's really annoying. ”

"I actually expect Wang Jia to be replaced, but Wang Jia has a concert of her own, so forget it."

“……”

The dense crowd of replies and discussions stacked on social media, and soon there were hundreds of layers, all talking about the Salzburg Festival.

After all, Pollini's exit is a big deal for anyone.

The same is true for the organising committee of the Salzburg Festival.

They didn't know how lively the discussion was outside.

They only knew that the people at the organizing committee had a more heated discussion than those outside.

Because this is a matter of the reputation of the festival as a whole, they need to discuss it carefully, carefully, and more carefully.

There must not be the slightest mistake.

Under the terrifying performance of Fu Tune before, everyone in the organizing committee already had a little idea.

But I was soon attracted to other people.

Because they found several pianists.

Although the level is a little worse than Fu's, they don't have the opportunity to play at the Salzburg Festival.

Now there are several levels.

Among the pianists of the T0 level, almost all of them are first-class and strong.

For example, Wang Jia, Lang Liangyue, Hamerlin, Fu Diao and other people.

Although Wang Jia, Lang Liangyue and others did not show their full strength.

After all, they already have their own concerts, so they played with a very relaxed posture and didn't go all out at all.

But how smart the ears of these people present are, they are not ordinary people at all, and there are Fu Tiao, who they can imagine.

They don't care if the people present show their full strength.

Because for those who are in the organizing committee, as long as you play, whatever you play, there is no difference between showing your strength and showing your strength.

For those people, you can tell how strong you are when you play the scales.

There are a lot of things that you can't pretend to be able to pretend you can't do.

Musicality, basic skills, understanding of music, even if you hide it clumsily, you can't hide much at all.

The brilliance of being a top pianist cannot be concealed by clumsiness at all.

Of course, it is limited to this group of music critics who have listened to an unknown amount of music.

What bothered them the most now was not T0, but another group of T1 players.

Some of the group played in concerts, and some did not.

There is a group of soloists, and if they get to T1, then there are no surprises.

This group of people was directly abandoned, and there was simply no possibility of any adoption.

What has really been chosen now is the existence of T1 without any performance, and T0 such as Fu Tune, which can perform other performances.

Although Lang Liangyue belongs to T0, because he plays a concerto and has nothing to do with his solo performance, he can barely be regarded as a similar level to Fu Tune.

The gap between the two is not large, and the works performed are not based on them.

So in the T0 stage, only Fu Diao and Lang Liangyue entered the eyes of the Salzburg Music Festival Organizing Committee.

Fu Tune, Lang Liangyue, and a group of ordinary first-line pianists who are slightly inferior to them, but have not been played.

Who should be chosen to replace it has now become the most headache for the organizing committee.

After discussing for a long time, they excluded Lang Liangyue first, after all, although Lang Liangyue's concerto sounded similar to the Fu Tune Piano Quartet.

But in reality, the Pianist's Concerto is the one that puts the piano front and forefront.

The piano quartet, on the other hand, is not the case, but the piano is not kicked out after all the strings, but continues to be compared and analyzed.

After thinking like this, Fu Tiao formed a posture of one to many.

Among the first-line pianists, there are a large number of people who have not had the opportunity to participate in Salzburg.

And Fu Tune, a pianist who seems to be involved but not involved in the solo, makes it difficult for them to let go.

The Mozart rondo they had prepared for 30 minutes was so impressive that they couldn't forget it.

As a result, they are stuck in an endless tangle.

Until one of them spoke.

"Why don't we ask for the opinions of the others? If we can't choose it, why don't we just make a voting option and put the names of Fu and others on the table and let them choose for themselves? ”
