This performance is also a new attempt for Fu Tuo.

Because last year in 2016, most of his performances were still dominated by Chopin.

After all, this is the first time he has successfully won the championship, and it is also the main reason why many people come to see Fu Tune.

If the winner of the Chopin Piano Competition wants to attract an audience, he must add a lot of Chopin elements to his concert work.

Normally, this would take two years.

No, three years to be exact.

Because the year at the end of the Chopin International Piano Competition was almost over, it was not counted as a whole year.

The most accurate way to actually start getting involved in other pianists' works and adding them to your own music library is two years after you win the competition.

In other words, 2018 is the year when Fu Tune should really start to get in touch with other pianists' works and transform them into his own characteristic works.

As the years go on, there will be more and more of his personal works, and many people will no longer come to listen to Chopin alone because of an award, but may come to listen to other works.

When a champion of the Chopin International Piano Competition can achieve such an achievement, then he can be regarded as successfully stepping out of the influence of the Chopin International Piano Competition and truly becoming a top pianist.

The same is true for Fu Tune......

He didn't have to wait that long, though.

In 2016, the first year after winning the Chopin International Piano Competition, he began to try his hand at performing other works, just like everyone else.

But unlike those people, his most successful thing is Beethoven's piano sonatas, passion.

This is the most successful piece he has ever played, which many people can name.

This is not satisfying for Fu Tune.

Therefore, he decided to perform as many periods as possible in this concert, as required by the Hamburg authorities.

He intended to move back in time, playing some works of the Folk School first, and then some of the Romantic, Classical, and Baroque works.

And the first piece he is now preparing to play.

Mossorgsky.

"Picture Exhibition".

It was the first piece he chose.

His fingers rested lightly under the piano keyboard and pressed down heavily.

The sound of the piano sounded slowly.

When, dang, dang, dangdang, dang......

Stroll!

Promenade！

Sustain, a sustained tone throughout.

The so-called sustained sound is to keep the entire note as long as possible when the music is playing, and maintain its intensity.

Let it cause a continuous effect.

Fu Tune's right hand moves slowly on the piano and softly plays the main theme of the beginning.

The space between the notes is almost inaudible, and when you listen to the Fu tune, you can only hear the lingering sound under the music.

And this lingering is not delicate, but with a trace of emptiness.

It's like in an empty hallway.

You wander through it.

The opening of the exhibition opened the concert with such a stroll.

This is the design of Fu Tune.

Music always has to begin, and since the preparation is intended to be performed in a way that pushes from modern times to ancient times, why not just use the first piece of the picture exhibition, a stroll?

Just like the title of the picture exhibition and this work.

The scenery depicted by Fu Tiao is also a stroll through the exhibition site.

Calm, steady, indifferent.

Aimless.

A small detail that Mossorgsky used in his work was exploited by Fu Tiao.

Irregular opening.

Normally, walking should be a relatively regular walk, and music seems to be regular.

But......

If it is too regular, the walk is no longer a stroll, but a march, a march.

The rotation of five and six beats makes the music extra interesting overall.

Walking, just walking, doesn't serve any purpose.

Looking at all the scenery in front of you, you can feel the flow of music and experience the details in the music.

You don't need to think about it, you don't need to think about it.

This is also the main idea of strolling created by Fu Tiao and Mossorgsky.

When the main theme ends, the music is layered at this time.

Fu Tune's hands were placed on the piano together at this moment.

Chord resonance.

Pull the lines of the main theme, stack it on top of each other, and the music resonates.

The single line of the main theme interacts with the harmonic resonance as if it were the same question and answer.

It's obviously in the middle of an exhibition, but it can give people an inexplicable sense of ritual.

But I don't know who is talking to whom.

A hint of fog gradually emerges in the music.

"Interesting......"

In the distance, some artists from other directions who were invited to come over couldn't help but light up their eyes and whispered to each other.

Fu ...... He actually chose this work, which is really interesting. ”

"Picture exhibition? With a hint of religious self-questioning, and the writing technique of letting music paint pictures as much as possible, Fu actually chose this one of the most famous works of the Russian school in the history of music? ”

"I always thought that Fu was the kind of person who played more classical and romantic, then again...... I haven't heard him play much of his other compositions? ”

"He also plays a lot of modernists, right? The jazz in the modernists, I remember someone saying that he was actually a jazz pianist. ”

"Jazz...... I could feel a strong sense of freedom in his music. ”

"The beginning of this stroll is really good, to be honest, the stroll is the most important song in the whole picture exhibition, and it feels really good that he can play this one."

“……”

Many artists muttered quietly in the back, their eyes staggered.

Compared with those bigwigs in the piano industry, they are actually not particularly familiar with Fu tunes.

At most, I have heard the name of Fu Tune and know that there is such a character in the piano world.

In the case of relatively little cooperation between everyone, it is normal for musicians to be unfamiliar with each other.

Unless this person is a special person who is crazy, in other words, it is called more "going to happen", otherwise it will not be particularly familiar.

A few days ago, Fu Tiao chatted with them a few times, and it was also about some musical content, praising some people's performances and so on.

This made them a little more impressed by Fu Tune.

Now it was the turn of the live performance, and I heard what Fu Tune was showing when he was on the scene.

Now they really know Fu Diao's strength, what it is.

A, a very good new generation of new pianists.

Let's not discuss his piano level for the time being, after all, the gap between this level and those first-line and top-level is actually not particularly large.

Only Fu Tune's ability to understand and feel music will be discussed.

This ability is not limited to the piano, but is a skill that all musicians can use.

If you only talk about this ability......

Fu Diao's level of strength is definitely on an equal footing with them.

This is still a judgment made under their own feelings, and they are a little overestimated in their own strength.

As far as the stroll clip of this picture exhibition that Fu Tiao has just shown, some people have begun to be a little impressed.

"I have to say that this stroll is really beautiful, even I can feel the feeling of strolling."

"Who isn't, but it's good that music is as simple as that......"

Someone shook his head: "Although the most important thing in the picture exhibition is the expressiveness of strolling, after all, strolling is a skeleton throughout the whole music, and it is the most core theme in music, but what really looks at the musical ability is the pictures in the picture exhibition, right?" ”

"It's also said that many people can't play picture exhibitions well, that is, they can't feel art well."

"But this place is really beautiful."

“……”

The main theme of the stroll seems to be gradually coming to an end.

But before everyone could react, the speed of the music suddenly increased a notch.

Airplanes...... While!

A flurry of notes suddenly slammed out from the previous smooth stroll.

The tranquility of the music is shattered in an instant.

Weird, weird, fantastical.

It's like at a picture exhibition, when suddenly an indescribable painting comes into view, taking away all your thoughts, leaving you staring at the painting.

Midget.

That's the name of this piece of music.

One...... It's a very dark name.

Fu Tune's fingers jerked a chord breakdown on the piano, only to stop at a single note in the next second.

The direction of the music gradually became confusing, and it enveloped everyone like a mist.

They could even feel a deformed monster appear in front of them.

It was clumsily crawling on the ground.

He has an ugly appearance and strange body proportions.

Sudden rapid jumps like onset of illness, and deliberate interruptions.

It makes the music mysterious and interesting.

The visual sense of the music is also gradually emerging.

It's not orchestral, it's just a piano.

How can you make the picture in the music so three-dimensional?

Behind the stage, the group of artists who were still a little worried that Fu Tune would not be able to play perfectly behind Fu Tune gradually froze.

Then his eyes lit up.

There was even a slap on his thigh and a low voice.

"Good!"

He restrained his voice so that he would not be so excited.

The sense of picture interpretation of this place is really too much.

As you can see at the beginning.

They really feel it...... A short, grotesque dwarf appeared in front of him.

The heavy bass and the dissonant chords that are specially pulled out and emphasized by Fu are the source of the gnome's own suffering.

It's not so harmonious, and it's not normal beauty.

But I don't know why, but I can feel another strange beauty.

This sense of beauty reverberates in the hearts of everyone, giving everyone a strange feeling.

And Fu Tiao seemed to want to make this strangeness even more shocking.

A series of swift scales burst out in his hand.

Eventually, the picture was terminated with a thud of the most bizarre chord.

The music was steady, and the stroll sounded again.

This time I walked through the walk with a slight uneasiness, as if I was intimidated by the picture I had just made.

Some small details also give the music a little hesitation, which makes the irregularity of the stroll part even stronger.

But this uneasiness, as the stroll continued, Fu Tune quickly reined in and transformed it into anticipation.

So what kind of scenery will the next painting become?

None of these emotions are explicitly written in the music.

But Fu Tune was able to comprehend it and play it in his own way.

The feeling of this suite...... It's a lot of fun.

And when the high chord is gradually drifting through the air......

Fu Tune's left hand is raised, and the first chord is pressed heavily and gently.

Airplanes......

The piano sounded.

It is like an ancient castle on the top of the mountain.

Calm, ancient, and ...... Shabby.

Everything seemed so heavy.

All these pictures gradually changed from an abstract concept to a three-dimensional one under Fu Tuo's palm.

He looked at the black-and-white keyboard under his hand, his eyebrows curled slightly, and his fingers slowly brushed over the piano, leaving a string of smooth single notes.

It seems like a bard singing.

The castle had been abandoned, and the cold wind howled in the hollows of the castle, blowing endless desolation.

A combination of tragedy and pastoral.

It comes from the unique feeling of material sorrow in the hearts of Westerners.

The crowd under the stage fell silent.

They also seem to be able to imagine the destruction of a castle.

On the top of a hill that was not particularly large, a small castle stood there, the walls of which were broken, revealing the rooms inside.

There has been no maintenance for a long time, only the broken stones tell people what has happened here.

I don't know if the pace has become heavy, or if it is dazed.

The main theme of the stroll sounded again.

The melody of each stroll seems to feel the same, but ......

Fu Tiao, however, gives these walks a completely different feel.

The details in the music are constantly changing.

The same melody, with different speeds, different dynamics, and different emotions, shows different feelings.

These are the details of the music.

And Fu tunes ......

Perfectly mastered how to play the details of the music.

He rested his hand on the piano, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled.

Chapter 3, The Imperial Garden.

The mood changes again.

This is a very simple, very small painting.

Children and their nannies are playing in the royal gardens of the Tuileries royal palace.

Bright, pure and lively.

Fu Tune easily sketches a sunny feeling with such music.

The children were frolicking quickly, spitting and shouting from time to time, and playful and naughty.

This is a very typical, elegant, light and realistic picture of life customs

There's nothing particularly to say here, because the whole thing is very short, and it doesn't give everyone a lot of emotion, and the music is over.

But the next second, before everyone could react, a heavy chord sounded.

This time, there isn't any part of the stroll as a transition.

Just behind this imperial garden, followed by a chord with a heavy and low heart.

Oxcart

This is the name of this part of the melody.

It sounds, as it appears on the surface, to depict the feeling of an ox cart transporting goods.

But actually......

Everyone vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

Normally, the oxen in the ox cart should be diligent and hardworking.

But in this low chord, you don't hear much diligence at all.

All you can hear is heaviness, pain, and helplessness.

These huge oxen and those huge wheels seem to have a hidden meaning in addition to what is depicted on the surface.

Peasants and workers.

Or rather...... Slave?

Nominally a peasant worker, a de facto slave.

They are oppressed by the pain of life, they want to change, but they are powerless to change.

They can only continue to be pressed in this way in agony, dragging bag after bag of goods, carrying it on their backs, which they have long been unable to stand upright, and carrying it far away.

Overwhelmed.

Pain, grief.

All this is in stark contrast to the children who used to play freely in the Imperial Garden.

Children in the garden can play with their friends without worry.

And the old cows behind the Royal Garden can only reluctantly accept the oppression of fate and continue to move forward slowly.

The sound starts to change after reaching its loudest voice.

The sound starts to get smaller, smaller, quieter and quieter.

Eventually, after reaching the PPP, the most extreme whisper, the music gradually dissipated.

Just as the group of people was slowly walking towards their hopeless hill, and finally disappeared into the distance, never to be seen again.

There is no way to leave the last trace of this world.

The only thing that can be left to the people is what remains in the heart, which represents the painful ordeal......

Lament.

The crowd under the stage didn't know what to say.

They listened to Fu Tune's music, and all they thought about in their hearts was shock and emotion.

They don't know how Fu Tune can make the layers in the music so ...... Abundant? Profound?

The musical mood echoed in their hearts, and until the main theme of the stroll sounded, they could not escape from the ox cart and the royal garden.

The combination of the two makes the pain in the music and the sense of the picture clearer.

It seems that everything in the Imperial Garden was created for this ox cart.

They even want to listen to it again.

They felt that the details just now did not stop there.

But......

The music goes on.

Fu Diao's hand was raised again, and the sound of strolling sounded again.

The music is only halfway through.

The mysterious, ritualistic dialogue in the music also sounded again.

Only this time, the mood in the music gradually became heavy.

Even the slow steps became extraordinarily heavy.

But the heaviness of this place, like a stroke of genius, gathers all emotions and prepares for the next picture.

A weird, fantastical ......

Dance of the Chicks.
