Chapter 319: Prodigy
Wolfgang Andrews Mozart.
This is the musician who is preparing for the second half.
Today's Mozart Piano Sonata, No. 5, K283, is a piece he prepared.
Similarly, this piece is also Fu Tune's main performance direction for this year.
No, to be precise, it should be this set of works.
In the course of these months, Fu did not just prepare a piece for the concert, but prepared a whole set of works.
For example, Mozart's sonatas, Fu Tune has prepared several pieces.
Why did he choose Mozart?
Not for any other reason, but because he was invited to chat with a top master who played Mozart at the Salzburg Festival.
The two chatted for a long time.
Previously, when Klaus was in class with him, he gave him a business card and told him to go to Mozart University to find this master.
This is a particularly accomplished master in the study of Mozart.
Although the performance effect is not so perfect, the number of papers he wrote on Mozart's performance is definitely among the largest.
And his thinking on Mozart's performance has also been adopted by many musicians.
When Fu transferred over, he originally thought it was just a very simple and easy meeting.
But he didn't expect to meet another person.
A world-class pianist who did not attend the Salzburg Festival this year, but did not come to the Ruhr Festival due to illness.
Mitsuko Uchida.
Mitsuko Uchida sat there quietly, the gentle sunlight streaming down from the side, smoothing the furrows on her face and making her look ten years younger, if not more.
Many people have forgotten that she belongs to the older group of pianists, not the younger generation of pianists.
When she saw Fu Diao, she was obviously a little surprised, covered her mouth slightly, and chuckled.
"Oh, Vodio, I know you, but I listened to Mozart's piano quartet that you played here in Salzburg before, and it was very good."
"Thank you, it's a pleasure to meet you, I heard that you are sick at the Ruhr Piano Festival before, and I hope you have recovered now."
After bowing slightly to her and thanking her, Fu Tiao sat down in front of the master and Mitsuko Uchida, and said to the two.
"Sorry to bother you, Professor Krauss should have spoken to you, right? Something about me playing this time? ”
"Well, we talked to me for a long time, I had planned to go on vacation to Sicily in the near future, but in the end he had to give up because of his request and continue in Salzburg."
The teacher's expression was very helpless.
"I hate the Salzburg Festival, every year there are all kinds of tourists everywhere, they make Salzburg a mess, it's noisy, there's no room to relax, especially the group of tourists from beautiful countries, rude, reckless, weird, speaking weird English, it's disgusting."
"Yes, sure enough, everyone hates tourists in the beautiful country."
Mitsuko Uchida chuckled and asked Fu Tune.
"Dior, first of all, congratulations on winning the Pollini concert, it is a great help to your music career, you are very, very lucky to have this performance, although I did not listen to your concert, but I also know that you played very successfully, after all, you can see your name in any newspaper casually, but I want to ask...... You came to us today, is there something wrong? ”
"Nothing? The main thing is to explore how Mozart should be played. ”
Fu Tiao asked respectfully at the two of them.
One of the two in front of him is a master of theory and the other is a master of practice.
Their research on Mozart can basically represent the highest level in the world.
And Fu Tiao thinks that his Mozart is not as good as the two in front of him, so his attitude is extraordinarily peaceful.
He walked over to the piano and spoke to the two of them.
"When I played Mozart before, I was able to convince myself to do this kind of performance many times, but every time I looked back, I always felt that something was not quite right, and I didn't know why."
His fingers pressed, the piano sounded, and Mozart's voice rang out.
But the expressions of the two did not change at all, only nodded slightly.
"So Dior, what do you think is Mozart? Or rather...... What does Mozart mean to you? ”
"What does Mozart mean to me?"
Fu Tiao was stunned, it was difficult to understand this sentence.
"Mozart, isn't it supposed to be Mozart? Mozart's music needs to have a childlike feel and a little more relaxed when playing......"
"But these are just appearances, aren't they? And my question is, what does Mozart really mean to you? ”
"Mozart, means ......"
……
Fu Xuan's fingers raised.
He looked at the lights of the Elbe Concert Hall overhead, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Sure enough, the lights in the concert hall are always so dazzling, they are always so bright that they can't keep their eyes open, and they always feel sweaty and smoke above their heads even if they haven't even played.
Just like Mozart when he was young.
What did you say about Mozart?
Fu Diao looked at the black and white keyboard in front of him, and forgot a little for a while.
He only remembered that he did not understand all of Mozart at once.
He went to the two several times after his concert, until Mitsuko Uchida left for her performance.
And after so many exchanges, Fu Tuo's feeling for Mozart is only the last word.
Childhood.
That's how Mozart should feel.
This is also the music that Mitsuko Uchida and the master theorist think Mozart should represent.
The three most difficult composers to interpret.
Mozart, Chopin, Bach.
In fact, it is just like the three stages of life.
Childhood, youth, and old age.
Bach is music that can only be truly understood by old age.
The Bach played when he was young is completely different from the Bach he played when he was old.
Mozart, on the other hand, is the most important work to be played in childhood.
As Gould said, Mozart was a clown who thought of himself as a child prodigy and pretended to be a child to amuse others.
The most correct interpretation of Mozart should be the understanding and interpretation of his own childhood.
Almost everyone who was there, all the people who were able to successfully stand on this stage, almost everyone was the same.
Their childhoods were almost all full of glory and pain.
Even Lang Liangyue, who was not present at all, was the same.
Just like Mozart's childhood.
Mozart had the most dazzling childhood, and his childhood was passed by the envious eyes of everyone.
It's not dependent on parents or family.
Just relying on his own personal brilliance.
And behind this light, there is a pain that cannot be explained in words.
Keep practicing, keep learning.
Just for the sake of himself, the reputation of this prodigy will not be taken off by others.
Even as an adult, he tried to preserve his reputation as a prodigy.
Behind the light lies unparalleled pain.
Under such pain, more perfect music can be born that can better show his prodigy talent.
This is Mozart.
A genius who is known to everyone because of a prodigy, but also completely trapped in a prodigy.
And if you want to play Mozart's feeling, you need to understand not only Mozart's childhood, but also your own childhood.
And what was your childhood like......
Fu Tuo's fingers pressed gently.
The sound of the piano sounded slowly.
Mozart's work, Piano Sonata No. 5, instantly sounded at this moment.
This is a work of Mozart when he was young, and it is also a work that represents Mozart's most dazzling period.
Fu Tiao's eyebrows were slightly raised.
The body also shook slightly involuntarily.
It's not a show, it's real, and he seems to feel the power of Mozart's music.
That positive force.
Every note of the music seems to be jumping upwards.
This is Mozart.
The eyes of the people around him gradually lit up when they heard the sound of Fu Tune playing.
"Is this the Mozart of Fu Tune?"
"Interesting, this interesting!"
"This Mozart feels really good!"
“……”
The crowd whispered to each other.
They never imagined that Fu Tiao would choose Mozart's work as the opening of his second half.
Dealing with Mozart's Fu tune, their knowledge of Fu tune is limited to the previous time at the Salzburg Music Festival, Fu tune once played a part of Mozart as a replacement for Pollini.
What did Mozart say at that time......
Can't say bad, right?
It can only be said that it is not bad.
Although he doesn't have a lot of special features, there is nothing wrong with his music, and it belongs to the more standard kind of feeling.
It's a little surprising that Fu Tune can play Mozart, but there is nothing special about it.
Nowadays, many people listen to Fu's music, but in fact, they listen more to Chopin in Fu's tune, and the Beethoven passionate sonata in Fu's tune.
Although there are archives of Fu and Mozart on the Internet, not many people listen to them.
Wouldn't it be nice for me to listen to the Mozart of Mitsuko Uchida's group when I have this time?
Aunt Uchida's Mozart can almost be regarded as a must.
and Gould's Mozart is actually not bad, because he always scolds Mozart in public, saying that Mozart is contrived and other paintings, which makes many people feel that he can't play Mozart, but just to discuss Mozart's version, Gould is okay.
In addition, there are some pianists who specialize in Mozart, and their interpretation of Mozart is much stronger than that of Fu Tune.
After all, people are professionals, and they have studied Mozart for most of their lives.
But now, after hearing Fu's Mozart, they were surprised.
They didn't expect that less than half a year had passed, and Mozart's Mozart could become so ......
So good?
Yes, it's brilliant.
Compared with the previous blandness, the current Mozart of Fu Tone gives people an excellent feeling.
It doesn't sound like a compliment to be outstanding, after all, there are so many people who are excellent, and not so good as perfect.
But......
Compared with other composers, Mozart, Bach, and Chopin, who are the most difficult, need the most feeling of excellence.
It's just different from everyone else.
On the basis of playing Mozart correctly, it is also necessary to give the music a more personal touch.
Correct, as well as personality.
Both are indispensable.
Fu Tune's fingers were fully erect, his fingertips touching the edge of the piano, and the music drifted upwards like a cloud of music along his fingertips.
The timbre of each note is extremely translucent and bright.
Like a pearl, it reflects all the light around it.
Pretty, really pretty!
There was no way for everyone to take their attention off Fu Tuo's fingers.
Fu Tune's control over music simply exceeds what all of them could have imagined about music.
Especially in such a concert hall.
Inside the Elbbrägue, Hamburg.
The sound of the piano slammed against the walls around it, down the floor and into the sky, towards everyone around them.
Enjoy.
Perhaps because of the surrounding, the music played by Fu Tune made everyone feel enjoyable.
Whether it's a normal audience sitting in a concert hall or a group of musicians sitting in the corner.
There was even a hint of shock among the musicians.
He looked at the others around him in disbelief, and asked quietly in his voice.
"Fu, was Fu Mozart before? I always thought he was playing the Russian school. ”
"Almost all the people invited today are from the German-Austrian school, where is the Russian school?"
"Fu's control of Mozart is also fantastic, and I even feel a little bit of Mitsuko Uchida."
"Uchida Mitsuko will be warmer than Fu Tuo, right? It's like the afternoon sun, the beach, her music is warm, and the music of Fu tunes ......"
"It's fluid."
Someone on the side directly gave a definition.
"Flowing like flowing water, if Uchida Mitsuko is the beach and the sun, then Fu Dior is the sea, a boy standing in front of the sea, and a naughty boy playing on the beach."
"There's that swaying feel in his music, and it's more childlike than Mozart."
"Yes, this Mozart of Dior is really interesting, especially here......"
Someone looked at the concert hall.
The Elbe Concert Hall, a concert hall built on the sea.
This concert hall is like a shell, surrounded by pearls on the stage in the center.
This design of the concert hall adds a more layer of beauty to Fu tune music.
And every note in Fu Tuo's hand is so mellow.
Not a penny, not a penny.
This Mozart plays.
This performance of Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 5.
Terrible!
Fu Tune didn't know that some people in the corner of the concert hall couldn't help but feel a little convinced after hearing Fu Tune's music.
Many of them originally thought that Fu Tune would choose to play Chopin today.
even felt that Fu's Mossorgsky was paving the way for Chopin's appearance.
Who would have thought......
Fu Tune had no idea of playing Chopin at all.
He just followed his own rhythm, and after playing Mossorgsky, he went straight to playing Brahms.
And when Brahms was finished, he still chose not Chopin, but Mozart.
Mozart is the easiest to play and the most difficult to interpret.
Countless top pianists have tried to climb the heights, but not many have been able to impress the audience of Mozart.
Known as one of the most difficult composers to interpret, Mozart.
It's easy to play, and no one can deny how easy Mozart is to play.
After all, Mozart's left hand is almost entirely the simplest of improvisational accompaniments.
That is, the feeling of chord breakdown.
Mozart's main musical melodies are basically on the right hand.
Occasionally switch positions with two hands, and it will not be particularly difficult to understand, and at a glance you will know that this is still a simple chord breakdown.
But......
How to play the feeling of Mozart, how to make your Mozart feel less contrived.
How should this degree be controlled?
It's up to musicians to speculate on this.
Playing well, and playing well, are two completely different concepts.
So......
Fu Tuo's hands staggered suddenly.
The third movement roars.
3rd movement, G major, Adagio!
The feeling of childhood is also intensified in the music.
The music gradually becomes long and gorgeous.
Each note seems to have its own story, interpreting its own world.
Bright and delicate.
Like a beam of light shining into a dark cabin, the space for music gradually opens up.
The music has also become more and more colorful.
Mozart was a prodigy after all.
Prodigies cannot be restrained.
Since you have been called a prodigy by so many people, you must maintain your status as a prodigy.
Go and unleash yourself.
Let everything in the music be interpreted in your own way.
You can be humble in your dealings with others.
But where you are called a prodigy, you have to behave domineeringly and arrogantly.
Don't give anyone the slightest room to breathe.
No one can be allowed to deny him.
After all, this is his stage.
How to interpret a work should also be decided by himself.
The prodigy does everything and must be right.
Otherwise......
He also doesn't deserve to be called a child prodigy.
Fu Tune's hands are more brilliant, and the timbre is more mellow.
Finally, with a slight chord, Fu's fingers gently leave the keyboard.
It's like a prodigy's performance, putting away his arrogance, and saluting everyone gracefully.
This is Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 5.
And that's not the end.
At least, not the end of his concert.
Fu Tiao did not give the audience room to rest.
His hand, which had stopped in mid-air, shook slightly, and then landed softly on the piano again.
Mozart, Piano Sonata No. 4.
K282, sounded at this moment.
