All the music critics present had to admit one thing.

That is, Fu Diao has basically reached the level of the top group of people above Chopin.

It's really like that now......

As long as Chopin is played in a Fu tune, then it means one thing.

That's stability!

Robust!

Chopin's Chopin is simply a guarantee of stage completion!

You could say that Fu plays other things at a relatively average level, not to the level of the world's best.

For example, Mozart in Fu Tune, Brahms in Fu Tune, no matter how you calculate Fu Tune, it may be above the ordinary first-line, and the level of the top class is definitely not top, not as good as the group of people who specialize in playing a certain musician.

But when it comes to Chopin, then you have to admit one thing.

That is, there are almost only a handful of people in the world who can wrestle with Fu Tiao Chopin.

You even take out some of the top pianists of the older generation to discuss, just discuss their Chopins, and almost none of them can simply play with Fu Tune.

If you have to take the god-level albums of those top pianists of the older generation and discuss the god-level live, then you may still be able to play back and forth, and not necessarily who can occupy the position of the strongest Chopin.

But it's just about the scene.

See how everyone did on the spot.

Fu Diao's current Chopin is basically the position of the first person under the god-level scene.

There's no bragging sauce in it.

Now for that group of music critics, Fu Tune's performance is so strong that it is irresistible.

Even, even to say something that is not so pleasant.

The god-level scene shown by some people, as long as there is no way to guarantee that the entire work is a god-level scene, if it returns to the normal level later, then the content he shows will ......

Maybe it's not even as good as Fu Tune.

Because compared to the flawed god-level scene, they are actually more willing to hear works with a stronger integrity.

For example, the Don Juan variations played in the tune of Fu that they hear now.

When he was young, Chopin's momentum was completely played by Fu tunes.

Because he had just become famous in the European classical music circle, plus he wanted to compete for fame and fortune with Liszt and others.

Chopin used a number of particularly cool techniques in music to counter the domination of the classical piano scene by Liszt and others.

There is a breath in his heart.

The softness of the music itself is only characteristic of Chopin himself.

And those brilliant techniques in the music are the release of Chopin's emotions.

Fu tunes him perfectly, and he perfectly interprets the feeling that Chopin has just become famous on the world stage.

As far as the content of what he played, it directly shocked everyone present.

Whether you're particularly familiar with music, or you're not so familiar with it.

Some of the more familiar music critics sat together, and they exchanged shocking eyes with each other, and they couldn't help but whisper.

"The level shown by Fu is very powerful! I was a little shocked, I never imagined that Fu would be able to show such content today. ”

"Yes, I'm ...... too"

The other also whispered.

While listening to Fu Tune's performance, he covered his mouth and muttered.

"Fu Tune's musical performance exceeded my imagination, so to speak, among all the Chopin International Piano Competition champions, no one has surpassed Fu Tune's growth performance."

"...... of previous competition winners"

The man wanted to refute a little, but after thinking about it, there was nothing to refute.

Basically, after winning the championship of the Chopin International Piano Competition, the previous champions will choose to settle down for a few years.

The fast precipitation is a year, and the slow precipitation has been precipitated until death and is not famous.

And Fu Tune, he basically didn't precipitate for a year, and he had already made a name for himself.

Best of the year at the Ruhr Piano Festival.

He won the award in July and August last year, three or four months before Fu won the first championship of the Chopin International Piano Competition.

In other words, Fu took less than ten months to successfully precipitate and complete the transformation.

What they are hearing now is the tune of Fu who has completed the transformation.

This speed is not to say that there is no one to come, at least it can reach a point where there is no one before.

And this one who has nothing to come after......

No matter what they think, they all feel that it is a little difficult for the people behind them to reach the level of Fu Tuo.

The latter may be able to learn from Fu Tune, and just after the competition is over, he will go to concerts everywhere and become a second-rate or even first-class musician.

But I want to become the top in ten months, and compete with Lang Liangyue's group.

Is this really something that people can do?

If it weren't for Fu Tiao, they didn't even believe that anyone would be able to make such an achievement.

As far as Chopin's performance is concerned, they are completely blown away.

When they saw the report about Fu Diao before, they might think that the group of people were talking about some scenes, because of the pressure exerted by Fu Diao and even the brokerage company behind Fu Diao, they had to praise Fu Diao like this.

But now.

They fully believed that Fu's previous performances elsewhere shocked everyone on the spot.

Because they were also shaken.

On this Chopin, Chopin's second work, Don Juan Variations.

It's really a fairy product, a version worth revisiting and analyzing.

Although Chopin's Don Juan is not so influential in the world, not so many people have burned this work.

However, this did not affect their love for this version of Fu Tune.

The feeling of playing Fu tune is amazing.

Therefore, they couldn't help but take a deep breath and said softly.

"I'm going to go back and do a special interview with Fu, and I'm really curious about how he did it."

"Do you also give Fu a special interview? If I could do an interview, would it be your turn? ”

The other scoffed.

"Didn't you find that almost no one was able to do a special interview with Fu? Do you still want to do an interview with Fu? I think it's better for you to stop dreaming. ”

"What do you mean, is there any taboo about Fu's interview?"

"No, it seems that Fu doesn't have much time, that's all."

The man sighed and explained in a whisper.

"Fu is still studying for a doctorate at the Berlin University of the Arts, and he has always been busy, especially compared to last year, when he enrolled in his first year and didn't have anything to do, so basically he spent most of his time running outside, but this year is different, he has a course schedule, so after each performance, he needs to go back to school."

"What do you mean...... Fu's concert was held in the middle of studying, taking a little extra time to start? ”

"Although it may be a special arrangement, such as the exchange between the brokerage company and the school, and the training plan jointly decided, but you say so, it doesn't seem that there are many problems."

"Hiss......"

"If you want to catch up with Fu, I personally think it's better not to think too much, none of the music critics I follow can communicate with Fu, let alone you."

"You're right, but I'd like to give it a try, after all, I'm a person who can contribute to three or four magazines."

"If you say that, I also want to talk to Fu Tune, after all, Fu's performance this time is really, really powerful."

“……”

They were communicating in whispers, watching Fu Tune's gaze gradually become a little greedy.

There aren't a lot of people in the classical music world who can write, and everyone's music criticism has actually tended to be a bit synchronized, depending on who writes better, not who chooses the best topic.

To put it simply, it is more involuted.

Although there are more music reviews about Fu Tune now, there are still many fewer than those other big stars.

For them, Fu Diao is actually an uncultivated blue ocean market.

I feel that I can write Fu tones in many different directions, rather than writing flowers in a single direction.

This type of music star is the most noteworthy group for everyone.

This is the main reason why the group of music critics in the concert hall are eyeing Fu Tune.

However, Fu Tune didn't care about this group of music critics.

He didn't know that there were music critics in this place.

For him, it is enough to play the music well, and the rest is indifferent.

He pulled the final chord out hard, and after pulling a brilliant arc in the air, his fingers were withdrawn.

The applause of everyone in the audience rang out, thanking Fu for his performance.

Fu Tiao also smiled at everyone and nodded, and continued to look at the piano in front of him.

Chopin's Don Juan Variations is a short work of seventeen or eighteen minutes.

The first half of the concert also needs a similar type of work to stretch the length.

So the concert isn't over here yet.

What kind of works do you need to play?

Fu Tiao actually expected it a long time ago.

For him, this concert hall is more oppressive, so he will also choose more dazzling and depressing works to perform.

And he actually had an ingenious idea for this concert.

It's the first half and the second half of the concert, and he intends to make a mirror contrast.

To put it simply, what he played in the first half should be as similar as possible to the second half.

It's not the similarity in the repertoire, but the similarity in the subject matter.

For example, he played a piece of Chopin's Don Juan Variations in the first half, and in the second half, he intended to play a work that was equally virtuosic.

Liszt, Don Juan's memories.

And because there was Chopin in the first half, there was also a Chopin song in the second half.

Chopin, the brilliant polonaise, is his choice for the second half of the venue.

At the same time, because there was Liszt in the second half, then in the first half, he planned to play a Liszt piece as well.

This piece can't be too short, it also needs to show off skills, and the overall mood needs to be relatively depressed.

When Fu Tune was doing concert construction before, he actually considered a lot of works.

But in the end, he chose only that one.

That's Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody, No. 2

That is, the cat and mouse episode.

Lang Liangyue often said in interviews that his musical enlightenment was cat and mouse, and he was completely shocked when he watched Tom's Hungarian rhapsody played in Cat and Mouse, and then began to choose piano as his future career direction.

The second piece of the Hungarian Rhapsody, referred to as the second Crazy Song, became Lang Liangyue's artistic enlightenment.

And how did Fu Tune come into contact with Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2?

To put it simply, it's Klaus.

During the period of studying with Klaus, in addition to answering his doubts to Fu Tune, Klaus actually spent more time expanding Fu Tune's repertoire.

For Klaus, a top-notch musician can't just be immersed in his own small repertoire and can't escape.

This is true not only for Fu Tiao, but also for others.

Klaus was known throughout the Berlin University of the Arts as a music maniac.

Every student who studied with Klaus was immersed in the pain of expanding the repertoire.

For a month, I memorized a library of repertoire for a half-hour concert, which is what Klaus asked for undergraduates.

To be precise, it should take a week to memorize it.

There are four lessons a month, and you need to memorize them in the first lesson, because then there is enough time to make revisions.

And many students have no way to complete their tasks, so they can only make their homework more and more painfully delayed, and eventually have to drop out of school and go to other schools.

For graduate students, it's an hour-long concert for a month.

As for doctoral students like Fu Diao, there are no specific requirements, just asking them to broaden their repertoire as much as possible.

Because the school itself has requirements, four concerts in one academic year, three two-hour concerts, and one one-hour concert plus one hour master class.

The repertoire played each time needs to be completely different from the previous one, and you can't be lazy.

So there was no need for Klaus to say anything at all, and the group of doctoral students themselves came over to teach Klaus and increase the number of repertoire.

And Fu Tiao also came into contact with a lot of other works during this time, except for Chopin.

Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 is also among them.

Liszt, Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2, in C sharp minor, adagio in capriccio style.

Composed in 1847 and dedicated to Count Laszlo Teleky, this is one of the most famous Hungarian rhapsodies, based on the Hungarian folk dance "Csardas" and consists of two parts.

The previous part is called "Lassan", which means "slow", and is the music of solo dance.

The latter part is called "Flisca", which means "fresh", and is fast, exuberant, and is the music of the pas de deux. The work is in a free-form form and is not limited by the general form of composition.

At the same time, this work has a great innovation in piano playing technique.

For example, the piano octave legato technique is used many times to vividly convey the performance effect of the Hungarian folk instrument dulcimer.

It doesn't seem particularly new in modern times, after all, modern music is no longer limited to playing music with a piano keyboard, but has begun to go straight to the piano and scrape the strings of the piano with your hands.

Even in other ways, such as smashing the strings, pulling the strings with a cup, and sharpening the strings with the bow, the sound comes out to create a completely different feeling.

But you have to know that at that time, that is, at the time of Liszt, the practice of using the piano to imitate folk instruments was definitely a bold exploration.

Liszt used this technique to add a lot of color to the music, and further enriched and expanded the means of expression and performance techniques of the piano.

At the same time, the pieces that Fu needed to play were from Liszt, not Chopin.

Therefore, when he plays works, he cannot be as elegant as Chopin, and he needs to release himself more.

According to the literature of the time, Schumann commented on Liszt's performance and said that to listen to Liszt's performance, we must look at his posture and movements, and must not let him hide behind the scenes to play, otherwise a large part of the poetry will be lost.

Hans Christian Andersen said that Liszt played the piano as a note that was played out of blood; It is like being nailed to the piano and the blood does not flow; It is the devil who has risen from the dead and become a saint.

As for those who have heard Liszt play, every time they listen to Liszt's performance, they will focus on recording Liszt's movements.

Therefore, when playing this piece, you must not be too restrictive.

Need to let yourself relax a little.

Let your emotions go with the music.

Let your body flow with the music.

Although Liszt's performance requirements are not as demanding as Chopin's, many people have such high requirements for Chopin's feeling in music.

But at the very least, you can't play Liszt as Chopin, can you?

Moreover......

Fu Tuo turned his head to look at the silent crowd on the side, and couldn't help but smile lightly.

Moreover, such a scene is just like what I thought in my heart.

Silence, oppression.

Disturbing.

And if you play something too weak in this kind of scene, you will inevitably be affected by the scene, and many important things in the music will be lost.

So, when he played his first piece, Chopin's Don Juan Variations, he set the tone for this concert.

That's Dazzle!

Show off your skills!

Show off your skills as much as you can, and make the music as dazzling as you can.

Don't hide yourself.

Because he is not facing a normal and ordinary concert hall, but a concert hall that is particularly depressing in terms of design.

He can't go with the flow, he has to fight hard, to fight against this repression.

So......

Show off your skills!

With all their might.

Fu Tiao took a deep breath and whispered to the audience around him who were still watching him.

“Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2”

"Liszt, Hungarian Rhapsody, No. 2."

As the words fell, his fingers lifted.

With everyone's surprise, surprise, and excitement, after staying in the air for a moment, it landed on the piano with great ease.

Play a slight two-tone monotone.

Just like Tom Cat who opened the door to Lang Liangyue's classical music world that year.

Knocked on the hearts of the audience.
