Hamburg is very lively these days.

Even the extremely rare sunny days can continue to appear in such a gloomy winter.

It even makes people wonder if the people in Hamburg are using cannons to disperse the clouds, just for the performances of the last few days?

However, it is precisely because of this good weather that the grass by Lake Hamburg is overgrown with people.

While looking at the newly built building in their city, they enjoyed the sun.

The sunlight reflects off the glass walls of the Elbe Concert Hall.

Fu Tiao also followed everyone to lie down by the lake for a while.

And in the past few days, Fu Diao can only be said to be worthy of the city of Hamburg.

As a coastal city with the highest economic level in Germany and better economic development than Munich, Hamburg has really made a lot of money.

He's seen a lot of top bigwigs here that he had only seen at the Vienna New Year's Concert before.

From the saxophone, to the flute, to the violin.

Almost any soloist who can name it, who can represent Germany, or who studied on the German side, is invited to perform.

And not only soloists, but also chamber music such as trios, quartets, quintets, etc., also bloom in this huge concert hall.

Not only that, but there are also some additional small concert halls inside the concert hall.

Some jazz musicians were also invited to perform.

In addition to modern music.

No, to be precise, it should be in addition to the exceptionally niche group of modern music, the kind of music that is particularly unpopular and focuses on the pursuit of noise.

All other types of musicians are invited to play.

Opening of the Elbe Hall in Hamburg.

According to the announcement of the local newspaper, the local town hall subsidized several million euros for the opening of the Elbhall in Hamburg.

Just to invite people like them to come and play.

According to their words, it is......

800 million dollars have been paid, will you still care about these millions of euros?

It also makes them too lazy to pick and choose which artist is the most affordable.

Directly according to the fame on the list, the musicians who fit the artistic style of the German side are screened out, and one by one they are invited.

Even the most powerful group of people may not be the most famous in the world......

But the overall quality is far better than those in other places.

Take the Salzburg Music Festival, for example......

Salzburg's music festivals are among the top in the world.

But the overall quality of their side is completely unable to catch up with Fu Diao's opening music this time.

After all, one is the pursuit of breaking even, and the other is the pursuit of inviting the big guy, and the two thoughts are not on the same line.

It is simply impossible to compare.

That's all......

All of you here are top-notch artists.

Among them, the least famous may be because Fu Tune, who has just become a top musician for a few days.

And the strength is almost impossible for everyone to distinguish anything special.

You can imagine how strong this opening month is.

Needless to say, you can imagine what kind of music grand occasion it is when a group of bigwigs gather.

Fu Diao has also listened to other bigwigs play in the past few days.

After hearing the performance of that group of people, Fu Tune could only say......

Those who can be invited over, each has their own two brushes.

It's really the kind of existence where everyone can show you a hand.

Powerful, perfect!

The opening ceremony of the first day was performed by the NDR Radio Philharmonic Orchestra.

From works from the Baroque period, all the way to postmodern works.

Anyway, everything you can imagine is basically played.

This is to announce to all the musicians present and to the audience who have been invited to tell them one thing.

That's ......

With the NDR Radio Philharmonic Orchestra, they aim for music of the whole era, not just classical and romantic.

They also welcome musicians from all over the world to perform works of all times.

We look forward to seeing more musicians come here to play.

After all, this concert hall was built for use, not for seeing.

If you just build a building for everyone to see......

It's better to just mess up a messy building or sculpture.

That's more fun.

And the next day, when musicians from all over the world began to play, Fu Tune gradually understood why the person in charge of Baros had told him.

He arranged for himself good neighbors.

The reason is simple.

When Fu Tiao was about to go out for a stroll on the big night, he suddenly found ......

The top bosses live near them and live with them.

After each performance, everyone gathers in the Executive Lounge for a drink, watching the lights in the distance and chatting casually about the musical art discussed.

can always give Fu Tune a little inspiration.

Of course, we're all human, and we don't always talk about art when we're chatting.

After discussing the arts, the group quickly chatted about their recent concert schedules.

There are also places that you have been to recently, where you have walked a few laps, which city is worth a special trip to a concert, etc.

The younger ones, as well as the very old musicians in their sixties and seventies, began to discuss cars in their respective circles.

Around the age of thirty, some people on the younger side like sports cars, some people like muscle cars, and everyone's style is different.

But the old men and old ladies are very uniformly fond of old-fashioned sports cars.

Listening to them, it seems that everyone has one or two of these cars at home.

They don't drive cars like this to pull the wind, nor do they drive fast.

I just like that driving feeling.

That's why they choose that kind of car to drive.

As for the group of middle-aged people in their forties and fifties, they were discussing all kinds of nonsense in that place.

Stock Market, Current Affairs, Vacations, Family ......

A big mess.

Although the outside world will always think that these artists are very artistic, a bit of a feeling of not eating the fireworks of the world.

But in reality, everyone is human, and everyone has their favorite content.

Maybe everyone says to the outside world that they don't have any pursuit of money, but only pursue art.

However, it is probably that the vast majority of people have basically no special pursuit after successfully reaching their current position.

It is impossible for him to become a superstar, and he will not lose this hard skill.

Playing the piano every day with peace of mind, earning tens of thousands of euros a month, the normal expenses can be included, and the recording of records can occasionally bring them higher income, and they can pay for some other hobbies.

For example, their favorite sports cars.

Therefore, compared with that group of capital, they will be more peaceful and indifferent.

I would also be more willing to discuss my recent life with the people around me, discuss where to go on vacation, and so on.

Everyone is an ordinary person, the world's top musicians, and no one is superior to the other.

That is, some older people will be more popular.

But everyone only respects those musicians, and they don't chase stars too much.

At the same time, the opening moon phase was more peaceful than that of the festival, and there was almost no conflict or competing interests between the people.

Maybe that's the difference between a music festival and being invited?

Fu Diao lay on the edge of the bed, looking at the night outside the window and couldn't help but think so.

The skies in Germany are bright.

There isn't a lot of light pollution in particular.

Although it is still relatively reluctant to see the Milky Way, only one outline can be seen, but looking at the stars in the sky is still enough to immerse people in it.

Fu Tiao got up from the bed, leaned in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the starry sky, and listened to the sound of the sea breeze blowing in his ears......

He always felt as if he had gone back in time.

The ground beneath your feet is extremely hard, but it always feels as if you are undulating with the waves.

I don't know if it's a reality, or if it's just ......

Psychological effects?

However, Fu Tiao didn't think much about it, and after closing the curtains to slightly hide the surrounding light, he fell into a deep sleep.

Go to bed early, and play tomorrow.

After listening to the big guy's performance so many times, now it's his turn.

……

Following.

The sky in Hamburg is still very beautiful.

It was just after eight o'clock in the morning that the sun slowly rose over the distant horizon.

Just as yesterday's exceptionally clear night, today's day is still cloudless.

And today, it is the day of Fu tune's performance.

Today, the traffic around the Hamburg Konzerthaus seems to be even higher than before.

In the vicinity of the main fire in Hamburg, there were many Chinese people.

Dense crowds of tourists surround the Hamburg Konzerthaus and look curiously at the brand-new concert hall in front of it.

"Damn, this is the Elbe Hall in Hamburg?"

"I feel so ugly down there, so flashy ...... above"

"I've just seen which of the following places is a former warehouse, which is a very famous landmark, and in order to keep this landmark, the Hamburg City Hall decided to build a new building on top of this building, which is the Elbe Concert Hall we see now."

"I feel pretty handsome, and I like the style of the building very much."

"It's kind of interesting...... I hope to see Fu Tune. ”

"I took a car all the way from Frankfurt, seven or eight hours away, just to see Fu Tune! It's really exciting! ”

"Frankfurt? I remember that Fu Tune didn't say that he was going to Frankfurt to play? Why are you still here? ”

"Fu plays near the Grand Theatre in Frankfurt, and I don't think the feeling of that place is as good as this place, and I've heard the name of the Elbhall in Hamburg for several years."

"I'm from Berlin, and I'm looking forward to playing Fu tunes!"

"You're all from Germany? Somebody from somewhere else? ”

"I'm from Brussels!"

"I'm ...... from Marseille"

"I'm a small city in Italy."

"I'm Italian too! I'm in Venice! ”

"? Am I just a Gris? ”

"I'm from Iran......"

"I, I'm Iraq?"

"Huh? Iraq? Isn't Iraq at war? ”

"There are still places in Iraq that are not wars, because of the war, teachers in many places have gone to help, so the local teaching resources are actually okay, and it just so happens that I will come to Germany for an exchange recently."

“……”

There are many, many Chinese people in Hamburg.

They came from all over Europe to the city of Hamburg to listen to Fu Tune's concerts.

It's not the same with Lang Liangyue.

Many of Lang Liangyue's fans came to listen to his concerts only after hearing about his fame.

And the vast majority of Fu Tune's fans like him because of his music.

Although there may be some people who want to come and listen to Fu Tune because of Fu Tune's fame.

However, seeing that Fu Diao's tickets are selling out quickly, and because Hamburg is the opening month, the tickets are slowly released little by little, and it is difficult to grab them.

This also makes many people who want to join in the fun have no way to continue to join in the fun.

It also allows those real fans of Fu Tune to grab tickets.

Therefore, the vast majority of people in Hamburg are true fans of Fu Tune.

The group quickly recognized the composition of the others, and when they looked at each other for a while, they felt as if they had seen relatives.

"All of you...... Are they all here to listen to Fu tune? ”

"Nonsense, if you don't come to hamburg to listen to Fu's tune, could it be that you came to eat burgers?"

"Although, the specialty of this city is not a burger, if you want to eat the best burger, you may have to go to the beautiful country."

"? Wasn't Hamburg invented here? ”

"I remember to be exact, the piece of hamburger meat in the burger was a specialty of the hamburger, but the hamburger was not."

"I have grown knowledge......

The group chatted as they walked in the direction of the Elbe Concert Hall.

After getting a free ticket downstairs, follow the long escalator through the old warehouse on the lower level to the real territory of the Elbe Concert Hall.

It's a huge viewing promenade.

Looking at all this, everyone's hearts couldn't help but surge.

"I've heard before that the feeling of the sea in Fu tune's music is very strong, and now it seems that ...... Fu Tune should have come to his home turf! ”

"To be honest, is there any notice of what work Fu Tune is going to play today?"

"No, the official website of the Elbhall in Hamburg only introduces the details of Fu Tune, and nothing else......

"I'll take a look...... Let us sincerely welcome the champion of Xiao Sai from China, the best newcomer of the year at the Ruhr Piano Festival, Fu Tune, followed by his personal profile, which everyone knows. ”

"Damn, how did you hide it so tightly, it makes people itch to listen to it, I really want to know what Fu Tune is going to play tonight!"

"You'll find out when you're in, right?"

Everyone stood on the viewing platform and whispered a discussion.

As time went on, the sky soon darkened, and the orange-yellow lights turned on in the Elbe Hall in Hamburg.

I don't know if it's because of the local characteristics.

If you're traveling around Europe, you'll find that the lights on their side are mostly warm-toned.

Warm yellow, orange yellow, dusk yellow......

Whether it's on the street, or in people's homes, even the lights in the street toilets are mainly warm colors.

Basically all the lights you can see are yellow, and it's rare to see that kind of white, cool light.

The same is true for the lights at night in the Hamburg Konzerthaus.

The golden light illuminates the building, dispelling the chill around it.

The dense crowd also followed the guidance of the staff into the concert hall when the lights were turned on, and then dispersed around the concert hall.

In the concert hall, there is not only a water bar selling wine, soft drinks and coffee, but also a place that specializes in bread, steamed meats and sandwiches.

This is a traditional white oval bread cut in half, topped with a chunk of beef or pork and topped with a hint of tomato sauce or yellow mustard for seasoning.

The production process is simple, but the taste is not monotonous.

Many people who had never eaten before had eaten coffee and steamed buns, waiting for the start of Fu Diao's concert while watching the sea view in the distance and eating dinner.

It's incredibly pleasant.

Time passed quickly in the chatter and waiting.

While!

The quaint bell rings to symbolize that half past seven has arrived, and you can enter and wait.

The door opened, and the crowd of people who had been waiting for an unknown amount of time flocked into the concert hall, and then their pupils dilated, extremely shocked.

Just as Fu Tune had entered this concert hall for the first time, none of them had ever seen such a concert hall.

Layer upon layer, it is impossible to distinguish one layer from the other.

Everyone seemed to be on the same floor around the stage in the center.

In the center of the stage is a pitch-black Steinway & Sons D274.

A Steinway & Sons built specifically for the Elbhall in Hamburg.

Just like the Lang Liangyue series in Steinway, such a piano is not just a brand.

Instead, I invited a special violinist to come over and polish it, and polished a piano after several months.

And this piano, just from the reflection of the golden light overhead on the matte black paint, you can see that this piano is very valuable.

The crowd watched in amazement at the concert hall, which they had never been to before, and followed the staff's guidance to their own positions.

Even when they sat down, they didn't stop writhing their gaze around.

Until......

The lights in the concert hall gradually dimmed.

The door of the concert hall, which had been open, was also closed by the staff at this time.

The room grew silent.

It was also close to eight o'clock in the evening.

The concert is about to begin.

The crowd immediately withdrew their gaze and stopped discussing the mess.

They put all their attention on the stage.

Under their sight, they suddenly noticed that a small door opened at the edge of the lowest level of the concert hall.

The light instantly converged between the door and the piano.

Under their gaze, Fu Tiao, dressed in a well-fitting suit, walked out from behind the stage door gently and gracefully

Wow!

Applause rang out instantly.

Everyone was applauding Fu Tune vigorously.

In the midst of this applause, Fu Tiao came to the piano and bowed slightly to everyone.

Take a seat with your palms slightly raised.

Subsequently......

Slowly falling.

This morning, the first professional class of the new school year, as a result, all the teachers were late, I thought that it would be finished at almost eleven o'clock, and it could be updated before two o'clock in the afternoon, who would have thought that it would be now......
