Chapter 334: Don Juan's Memories (I)

The applause gradually rang out, and with the applause of everyone, Fu Tiao walked out of the backstage of the stage, smiled and bowed slightly to everyone, and then sat down in front of the piano.

After the applause of the crowd stopped, he spoke to the crowd.

"Franz Liszt, Don Juan's Memories."

Don Juan?

Don Juan's memories?

After hearing this voice, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and then became excited.

In the first half, Fu played Chopin's Don Juan, and they had a little bit of anticipation.

It feels like Fu Tune might play something about Don Juan today.

It's a pity that at the end of the first half, I didn't hear Don Juan, but only Fu's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2.

At that time, there was still a little bit of regret, and I felt that something was missing.

But they didn't expect that in the second half, Fu Tune directly fulfilled their wish and began to play Liszt's Don Juan!

This Don Juan's memory is not an ordinary work!

Compared with Chopin's Don Juan, it is more explosive and more gorgeous.

Therefore, after hearing the sound of Fu Tune, everyone immediately sat down, staring at Fu Tune, waiting for Fu Tune to play.

Under their gaze, Fu Tuo sat in front of the piano.

It is not as straight as wood, and it expresses an extremely elegant state.

It's like Chopin preparing for a performance at an evening party.

At this moment, he is sitting on the piano very normally, his spine is slightly bent, so that his whole body is in a relaxed state.

It looks extraordinarily relaxed, but in fact all the strength in the whole body is concentrated in the arms.

Such a performance directly made everyone feel a little doubtful.

They felt as if there had been a little change in the Fu tune, but they couldn't tell where it had changed.

Therefore, they just looked at Fu Diao with a little confusion, not knowing what Fu Tiao was going to do next.

Isn't he supposed to be ready for a show? Why does his body seem to be completely out of state?

It's like sitting there ready to talk to you.

Such a scene is that Fu Tune will not make people wonder if he is doing this now, if any other person is here, learning to play with Fu Tune, then it will definitely be questioned by others.

One of the most useful things you can do when you become a master is to shut up people who don't understand.

People who don't understand may open their mouths and spray directly in the face of ordinary people.

But in the face of this kind of master, they will at least think about it a little, confirm it with their brains, and then spray.

However, whether it will be questioned or not, Fu Tiao actually doesn't care much.

He showed such a relaxed state here, in fact, it was already the beginning of the performance.

Don Juan's memories, but memories, not any other etudes or music.

Memories must only arise in a relaxed state, and will never be expressed in a particularly tense state.

Of course!

These are just the outside!

At the end of the day, music should always be expressed through music, not on the appearance of the performer.

For example, Lang Liangyue, he often makes some very exaggerated movements when he plays, and some people hate him because of this, but have those who hate him seriously listened to his performances? No matter how big his movements are, no matter how disgusting they are, the music he plays under his hands is not deformed because of the big movements, and it is still so perfect.

Therefore, Fu Tune just allows his state to fall into the music, so that he can feel the music and understand the music, not outside the music.

In such a situation, everyone's breathing couldn't help but become quieter.

At this time, Fu Tiao also raised his hands slightly, laid them flat on the piano keyboard, and quickly walked through this super difficult piano arrangement "Don Juan's Memories" in his brain.

Réminiscences de Don Juan is based on Mozart's opera Don Giovanni (full name Il dissoluto punito, ossia il Don Giovanni), and unlike the original opera, this adaptation is actually a flashback of this work called Don Giovanni, and it lives up to the name of this memory.

A brief overview of this work is a very ordinary story, in which Don Juan seduces a noble maiden and murders her father.

Later, when Don Juan was in a cemetery, he came across a statue of the aristocratic girl's father, and Don Juan invited him to dinner, which the statue gladly accepted, but it was Don Juan's last supper, and the ghost asked to shake Don Juan's hand, and when Don Juan stretched out his arms, he was dragged to hell.

A very simple story is the revenge of a father on himself and his daughter, and there are many endings in traditional European literature, such as Don Juan willing to repent and go to hell, Don Juan unwilling to repent and enter hell, and Don Juan worshiped a certain Western sect and was redeemed.

The last one is not discussed for the time being, pure brainwashing, and all Don Juan under the normal version went to hell, so this song "Don Juan's Memories" starts from hell at the end of the day.

Part I: Zhuang Ban, D minor, 4/4 time. The melody is derived from the second act of the opera: The Ghost Warns Don Juan and the finale: The Ghost Appears at the Dinner Party and drags Don Juan to hell. The first part is somber and frustrating, with a large use of minus seventh chords and chromatic scales, highlighting the gloomy and mournful atmosphere, and showing the momentum of the undead to the fullest.

Part 2: Andante minor, A major, 2/4 and 6/8. The melody is derived from the duet between Don Juan and the lover in the first act, and the main theme is completely inherited from the opera, but with the addition of cadenzas and two variations, so that the classical melody has a new content under the Romantic approach. The first variation is dominated by a six-note and is quite gorgeous; The second variation places more emphasis on counterpoint, and the later chromatic scales appear in abundance, suggesting that the threat of ghosts never goes away.

Part 3: Rush version, B flat major, 2/4 time. The melody is derived from Don Juan's aria ("Fin ch'han dal vino") in Act I, also known as "Champagne Song".

In the third part, there are two opposing themes: the gloomy descending E minor representing the ghost and the cheerful and bright B flat major representing Don Juan, which are intertwined and repeated three times, and the harmony becomes more and more gorgeous.

In the end, Don Juan's melody prevailed, and the whole piece ended in a joyous atmosphere. Throughout the work, it is to some extent a flashback of the opera, which also corresponds to the title of this work, Don Juan's Memories.

So......

After quickly passing the outline of this work in his heart, Fu Tiao closed his eyes and gradually stirred his emotions, making his mood more in line with the mood of the audience sitting in the audience at that time, and then watching this "Don Giovanni" by the audience's state of mind, to recall the scenes on the stage.

Betrayal, Love, Hell, Faith......

When he was studying this work, he was specifically asked by his teacher Klaus to see Don Juan's play.

Although they played by their own people in their school, their professional level was not inferior to that of the singers of those orchestras.

Therefore, Fu Tiao can completely substitute himself into Liszt at that time, thinking about that time, when Liszt returned home and sat alone by the fire, he would think of what everything was like when the troupe performed "Don Juan" at that time.

All emotions echoed in his heart.

He felt as if he was able to gradually enter Liszt's heart.

I gradually understood Liszt at that time.

He gradually detached himself from the concert hall and entered a small cabin.

The flames flickered in the fireplace next to the house, as if the huge incandescent lamp overhead was shining on him.

He even felt himself slowly walking to a piano near the fireplace, looking at the piano in front of him, looking at the sheet music on it, thinking about something.

What are you thinking about?

It seems to be ......

Don Juan!

Fu Tune's eyes opened suddenly, and an incomparably beautiful chord arpeggio in his left hand and a column chord in his right hand slammed down on the piano, as if his hand was instantly raised when the piano sound reached its peak.

Rumble! Rumble!

A pillar chord at the beginning of the game instantly smashed into everyone's hearts, and those who they originally thought that Fu Diao's sitting posture was not good were suddenly stunned, and everyone turned their attention to Fu Diao.

Without giving him a chance to breathe, his hand continued to smash down, and several chords played rapidly, and the inner voice and chord melodic lines within the chords were highlighted by him, and the most striking thing was his left hand.

While the one, two, five fingers of his left hand played the chords rapidly, his three or four fingers kept making tremolo, and what was even more wonderful was that the tremolo he played was completely not at all sticky to his other three fingers, as if an extra hand grew out of his left hand, turning it into two hands to play a piece!

This finger independence, and the power control of the fingers, is just perfect.

"Wait? This trick? Why, why does the feeling of this trick go to the next level? Did I really just go through a simple intermission? I really don't have ...... Travel back in time to the second year of Fu Tune's concert? Why has the feeling of skill risen so much? ”

At the moment when the piano came out, a music critic took the lead in holding back his expression and looked at Fu Tune in disbelief.

He felt that something was not good when he pressed the first note in the Fu key, and the feeling of just smashing the first note was different from the feeling of him smashing the chord.

This sound is very clean, and it contains only the purest pain and despair, like the wail of hell, which makes people gradually fall into it.

This feeling he has rarely encountered, and the goosebumps all over his body are about to rise, and he has never encountered this situation in his own playing.

So......

His eyes widened, and a wave of panic poured out of his heart.

Just like seeing the music at the end, when Don Juan fell into the abyss, the fear and fear that emerged from his heart.

This fear seems to be exactly what Fu Tiao wants, what he expects.

The previous Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 was a good listen, right? The feeling of the technique to listen to is very good, right?

So congratulations, now you can hear a cooler, cooler, more shining, more brilliant trick heaven!

After all, this is Liszt's work.

It is the work of Liszt, the king of the piano.

It's the work of Liszt, a showman!

As the king of the piano hundreds of years ago, Liszt's current works are no longer a problem for many young people, especially those in conservatories.

So, Fu Tune can make it even more showy!

Let the showmanship be completely integrated into the music!

His hand lifted slowly, but his feet continued to step on the sustain pedal of the piano, and only after his fingers were raised did he slowly lift the pedal in his hand, allowing the sound of the piano to drift slowly through the air.

The opening introduction appears for the first time and ends, and the piece is now the second variation of the opening introduction!

Rumble! Rumble!

The strong accent of FF slammed down, the sound of this chord was much, much louder than the previous sound, just one F in front was enough to make people feel excited, and at this moment there were two F's, and the sound completely covered all the sounds produced in the concert hall before, and all the air in this medium-type concert hall was vibrated by the piano played by Fu Tune at this moment.

The sound of the piano extends from the first floor.

Slowly spilling over the soles of the audience's feet on the first floor, over their bodies, over their heads, and towards the higher floors.

After that, there is the second floor, the second floor of the tower, and the third floor......

The higher the audience, the more clearly they can feel that sense of power.

Perhaps due to the unique design between the floors, when Fu Tune played the piano, he was actually wrapped in the audience as a whole, and his music was not so easy to flow directly from the audience.

Especially on the first floor, because the first floor has the largest audience, his voice is already a little sleepy when it reaches the last row, not to mention the other audiences.

But now...... At this moment, Fu tunes his performance, which seems to be able to completely exceed the volume that this piano should have, showing unparalleled penetration, and blowing up the entire concert hall.

From the top floor of this acoustically designed concert hall, you can reach the third, second, and even first floors below.

The whole concert hall seemed to tremble slightly.

It seemed to be trembling as Fu Tuo's fingers smashed.

The Alte Oper in Frankfurt is arguably the richest opera house in Frankfurt.

The piano used in it is naturally a very good, very good piano.

It is precisely because of such a piano that everything that Fu Tune wants to play can be perfectly conveyed.

It's completely different from what everyone guessed.

Many people make the sound of the piano appear grander, their most common method is to smash, smash with the body, smash with fists, try to use this method to make the sound of the piano bigger, in fact, to make the piano sound louder is not how much power is needed, but it requires extremely fast speed.

Because the piano is a very traditional percussion instrument at the end of the day, it is a very traditional percussion instrument that strikes the piano keyboard to get the volume that the player wants, and the sound is transmitted from the surface of the piano to the hammer below, and then it is transmitted again through multiple levers, so that the hammer hits the strings of the piano.

Just like when you play badminton, just swing the badminton racket hard, the shuttlecock may just fly high, but your wrist gives the badminton racket a very fast speed, then the speed of your shuttlecock may be extremely fast, directly beyond the opponent's imagination.

All of them, each finger of Fu Tune is raised high, and then it is smashed down at an extremely fast speed, and the technique of raising the fingers is used to play this piece.

You can't seem to tell from under his fingers that he's pushing too hard.

But you just can hear everything in his music very clearly.

This level of professionalism is competent......

The crowd in the concert hall couldn't help but be slightly shocked.

The ghost of the music emerges, as if calling for Don Juan's soul.

Countless muffled chords smash down.

The atmosphere of horror is built under Fu Tune's fingers.

Like a grave, a cemetery.

It makes people feel a chill in their hearts.

The performance of this music is so scary and shocking!

Everyone had to admit that Fu played music at a high level.

The second, or perhaps first, variation soon ends again, and the air is quiet again.

Fu adjusted his hand slowly, took a deep breath, put his hand on the position he wanted to play next, and then pressed it violently in the expectation of everyone.

Wow!

Unlike the previous bar chords, the left hand in this place plays very short chords, while the right hand has a long string of very fast melodic lines, which are actually not particularly beautiful, but especially likable, because there are so many dissonances in it that it is difficult to accept.

But...... Fu Tune played a completely different feeling, these dense dissonant notes became a very pure and natural connection under the performance of Fu Tune, like the wind of hell blowing in everyone's ears.

From weak to strong, from strong to weak......

The powerful finger control makes every change in sound volume seem extremely natural, as smooth as if you were flipping the volume controller on your computer.

Fu Tune's fingers ran and smashed and pushed on the piano quickly, every movement was extremely beautiful, but the bright and cold light shone on his body but it seemed so penetrating and fiery, and the pride and mockery in his heart filled the entire floor like a flood under the intertwining of his fingers, and it was still slowly spreading down and overflowing upwards.

The emotions became more and more intense in his hands.

Countless unjust souls are scattered around under hell, as if they are mocking something, as if they are laughing and cursing something.

Fu Tune's strong control over the music directly wraps this emotion under the music.

Let the music radiate into the entire concert hall.

A chill swelled up in everyone's hearts.

They felt as if they weren't in a concert hall, but in hell.

The dense crowd was like the souls of hell.

Bring endless depression.
