Chapter 118 The Ultimate Self

Fu Tiao's eyes were placed on the piano in front of him very softly, his fingers gently drifted across the piano, and the notes followed the trajectory in his hand and slowly floated in the air.

The last work that Zhao Chengzhen performed was a Chopin Scherzo with a very strong rhythm. According to common sense, Zhao Chengzhen's music should be more likely to impress everyone in the concert hall.

But actually...

When Fu Tiao's music performance began and the notes fluttered in his hand, the slightly impatient mood in everyone's hearts was instantly soothed. There was no longer any trace of anxiety, but only calmness.

With a touch of sadness.

It is hidden in the deepest part of your heart, and it is gently stirred by feathers. It is not strong, but the feeling brought by this piece of music is extremely emotional.

It's just like one day in the future, you bid farewell to your parents and return home peacefully. You feel very uncomfortable and sad, but inexplicably you just can't cry. You even wonder if you are too cold-blooded.

Both parents have passed away, but why can't I cry as sadly as in movies and TV shows?

You live a peaceful life like this, but one day, the breeze blows through the gauze curtains, and you return home. There is no bed made by your mother every day, only a mess. You suddenly realize that they are no longer there.

Open the refrigerator. The food in the refrigerator has not been replenished for a long time. The ice milk you used to drink every day has also disappeared in the refrigerator. Even if they tell you every day that the cold is not good, you just like it and can't hear it.

Nagging, you suddenly realize that they are no longer here.

You go to the canteen at the door and buy a glass of iced milk, go home and lie down on the sofa to slowly sip it, feeling the coldness in your stomach, and then you realize that they are no longer there.

You work late, stretching and getting ready to rest, but there is no hot water or fruit plate at hand that your parents have prepared for you while nagging you when they got up in the middle of the night. You suddenly realize that they are no longer here.

Sadness does not come to you like a mountain, but in life, inadvertently, it floats very gently through the saddest part of your heart.

Fu Diao's music is just like the sadness that floats through everyone's hearts, directly erasing the last touch of excitement that Zhao Chengzhen left for Fu Diao, leaving only sadness, the sadness of being alone in the room in a daze.

There are very few people under the stage who are young. Most of them are middle-aged and elderly people who started their careers in their forties. The sadness remaining in their hearts is far more than that of young people who have not experienced the world. When they hear Fu Tiao

At the moment of music, I couldn't help but be stunned.

They seem to feel the blood in their bodies flowing back from their fingertips, their bodies are cool, and their emotions are rippling in their hearts, squeezing the softest part of their hearts at will.

Sadness starts from a small source, grows rapidly with the playing of Fu Tiao, and finally merges into the sea.

For some elderly people who have a deep empathy for music, the corners of their eyes have become wet without even knowing when, and tears slowly flowed down.

They have listened to a lot of works, and those that can make them cry and empathize to this level are very rare and almost difficult to see.

When was the last time you cried while listening to classical music, instead of crying because of the music that you were trying to empathize with at the time?

Some people have kind of forgotten.

They have rarely heard this kind of music that can instantly arouse a touch of sadness in their hearts when they are obviously in a very good mood. Listening to a piece of music can instantly inspire a touch of sadness in their hearts. Most of the tears are caused by being in a bad mood at the time and hearing a special piece of music.

, suddenly began to cry sadly.

This kind of performance is very rare.

but……

Fu Tiao's music does more than just make people sad and cry.

His music carries a power. Although it is so sad, there is always an inexplicable emotion that supports them and prevents them from collapsing emotionally.

It's obviously so sad, but so gentle.

Some of them even feel like they have returned to their childhood, back to the time when their parents had not yet left, back to their parents' side, crying beside them, grateful for the extremely precious loss and recovery.

The parents looked busy with their work, but were suddenly hugged by their children. They patted their children's heads helplessly and comforted them softly.

The slightly hot lights above their heads are like the gentle palms of their parents, brushing away the sadness in their hearts and making them feel calm again.

A mazurka full of sad philosophy, simple and meditative, with great kindness in its heart.

Extremely mature, extremely moving.

This is the difference between a top pianist and an average player.

Obviously everyone has the same tone, and no one can even make mistakes, but the works played by these top pianists are better than theirs, more powerful than theirs, and more moving than theirs.

This is the detail!

The details in Fu Diao's music directly broke the psychological defenses of some judges at this moment. They had never thought that a mazurka could be played to such an extent.

Shan Yi sat on his recliner, his body sitting upright again without knowing when, staring at the screen in front of him with an extremely serious expression.

Although he had been listening to Li Diyun praise Fu Diao and others praising Fu Diao, and he had also arranged recommendations for Fu Diao, but he did not pay enough attention to it.

After all, so what if you can win the Chopin International Piano Competition? Didn’t he teach him the first and fourth place?

He even taught Van Cliburn's champions, and champions were not uncommon in his place.

And it's not like he hasn't heard Fu Tiao's performance before. Although his performance is not bad and he is making continuous progress, and it seems that the progress is not bad, but after all, he is still a student and has not grown into a real pianist.

But when he actually heard the music of Fu Diao, he realized that his knowledge of Fu Diao was insufficient.

Fu Tiao's impression on him at this moment has completely changed!

He is no longer an ordinary piano student, but a top pianist with extremely bright prospects in the true sense!

His eyes, which were originally slightly wandering, gradually shrank and were locked tightly on Fu Diao's body, and his body began to become tense.

The brain began to spin rapidly, thinking about everything in the music and Fu Tiao's performance.

At some point someone sat next to him, and his wife, who was about to go to bed, suddenly came back. She also stared at Fu Tiao in front of her and said softly.

"Very impressive."

"Well, it's really great."

"The details in his music are very well done. I like the details in his music very much, which is Chopin's mazurka just at the beginning. His use of some dissonant intervals is amazing! Especially the harmony of the music.

The direction is very clear!”

My wife spoke quickly, and she became much more energetic, and her brain started to spin rapidly.

She was born studying harmony, so she is very sensitive to harmony. She can clearly grasp the context between harmonies, clarify the harmonic relationship, and is very concerned about the sound of harmony.

"Fu Diao has a very strong sense of logic in his playing. Each part of his tune has its own timbre. No part of it can be fooled. This ability is really terrifying. I have been teaching for so many years.

I have never heard of a student who could separate all the parts of music and play them without confusion."

"So you are students, and Fu Tiao is a pianist who can participate in the Chopin International Piano Competition."

Shan Yi smiled at his wife, shook his head slightly, and looked at Fu Diao on the TV in front of him. His eyes were also full of shock.

The third round of Fu Diao's performance was so shocking that he didn't know what to say at all.

Just as his wife said, no student can play Mazurka so well and the relationship between the harmonies so harmoniously.

Not just students, but even some of the pianists he had seen who were already competing on the world stage, almost no one could play like Fu Tiao.

Not to mention those young pianists, if you talk about some top pianists who have successfully obtained top-level contracts, how many of them can play like Fu Tiao?

Shan Yi thought for a while and realized that he probably hadn't heard anything this year. If there weren't sudden bursts of god-level performances in November and December, then he might not have heard any god-level performances that could compare with Fu Diao at all this year.

.

but……

Shan Yi shook his head.

The TV at home is indeed a bit old, and the sound quality they hear is a bit poor. Many of the details are swallowed up by the TV, and they can only tell whether Fu Diao has paid attention to details through comparison before and after. This is really

It's a bit of a pity.

Shan Yi suddenly said: "Shall we go back and buy a new TV?"

"Huh? Aren't you always reluctant to part with this TV that your student won a prize and bought as a gift to you? It's been many years and you haven't been willing to change it. I've told you so many times to change the channel but you still don't listen. Even if you

The student told you to change it but you didn’t change it, so why did you suddenly think of changing it to a new TV today?”

"It's not a trade! It's a purchase!" Shan Yi corrected his wife: "You can't trade this TV. This is a gift my student bought for me with the prize money he earned from foreign competitions. This definitely can't be traded! This TV can't be replaced.

Put it in our room, and let’s get a new TV with a better sound, so that we can hear the details in the music more clearly!”

"Then why don't we just buy a new player device?"

"It seems... okay?"

Shan Yi raised his head and spoke hesitantly, but as he listened to the playing of Fu Diao in his ears and saw the brilliance of Fu Diao on the stage, his expression immediately became extremely determined.

"Buy it tomorrow! Be sure to buy it before the finals of the Chopin International Piano Competition! His performance of the mazurkas in the third round of Fu Tiao was so perfect that I can't even imagine his performance in the finals! If he can continue to persevere

."

"Okay, okay..."

My wife spoke helplessly, and then turned her gaze to the playing Fu Tiao, and her expression became a little gentle: "Speaking of which, Fu Tiao is probably the most perfect Chinese piano we have seen in the past few years.

Are you home? Is it possible that we can have more top piano talents emerge in the future? After all, he came from our country, China?"

"Fu Tiao is different. His genius cannot be summarized by Chinese education. He is like Li Diyun, as bright as the sun, rather than relying on the sun's light like the moon."

Shan Yi shook his head slightly and looked at Fu Tiao on the TV with a serious expression: "If he can keep it up, wait for the Chopin International Piano Competition to settle down a little, and not be disturbed by outsiders, his future achievements will be extremely bright!

"

"Yes, if he can settle down and not be disturbed by outsiders."
