"I also have...an encore?"

Fu Diao pursed his lips with a complicated expression and whispered: "I still have this thing? Why didn't I do it before? No one told me about it?"

Fu Tiao knew about encore. Encore actually means a ditty similar to the encore, or a few short paragraphs after the cross talk. Normally everyone will prepare some for later use.

If your performance is good and the audience is enthusiastic, then you can encore some works that are more popular with the public. If your performance is too poor and the audience has no idea, then you can just find a few short works and run away after the performance.

For example, Lang Liangyue's normal encore piece is "Jasmine". Especially when he is abroad, every time he encores, he must play Jasmine as the ending piece.

This Jasmine is not the Jasmine that everyone hears normally, but a more difficult Jasmine that he adapted himself, adding many dazzling skills to it.

You say it sounds good, right? In fact, it’s just like that. No matter how good jasmine sounds, how good it can be, especially for Chinese people.

But you're talking about showing off his skills, right? His previous works were basically the pinnacle of showing off his skills, but with another song called "Jasmine Showing Off His Skills", it always feels like something is missing.

Therefore, just think of it as the fortune cookie that Chinese restaurants in foreign countries will definitely give you after every meal.

You can't eat it in China, and no one will give you this stuff, but it's strange abroad. Many foreigners come here specifically to hear Lang Liangyue play Jasmine, and then shout with great excitement, "This is China!"

Words like "What an interesting Chinese work" and "Modern works full of national characteristics!"

So has Fu Tiao prepared such works?

Fu Diao thought about it, and for a moment he really couldn't think of what kind of work he could create, one that could show off his skills and be full of Chinese characteristics at the same time.

After all, there was no encore in his previous concerts and competitions. If Sir Simon sitting by the door hadn't reminded him, Fu Diao would have almost forgotten that he had an encore.

So what other encores are there?

Fu Tiao couldn't help but look at Sir Simon.

If she remembered correctly, Fu Diao remembered that someone suddenly played a large section of Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Concerto during the encore. When she played it, the conductor beside her was stunned.

I was stunned. I didn't expect that I would play this during the encore. I had no choice but to continue playing along with her for more than half an hour.

Is this person Wang Jia or Argerich? I kind of forgot. Anyway, that scene was very classic at the time, and it can be called the most dramatic scene in the history of the encore.

For the price of one concert, listen to two concertos.

Then myself...

Fu Tiao looked at Sir Simon. He saw that Sir Simon was frightened, and immediately interrupted Fu Tiao's gaze.

Sir Simon said with great seriousness: "Dior, you don't want to have a concerto encore, do you? We haven't rehearsed, and I will not agree to have another concerto encore with you, no matter which piece."

,Will not work."

"I didn't think so, I was just thinking about what I should play..."

Fu Diao reluctantly changed the subject, denied it, and then continued to raise his head, looking at the blackboard above his head and thinking.

Everyone outside the room was still clapping rhythmically, shouting for an encore, and trying to drag Fu Tiao back.

But Fu Diao can't even perform an encore piece now. What's he going to do on stage? Play jazz?

Um?

Fu Tiao was stunned for a moment, suddenly thought of something, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Wasn’t my brain stiff just now from playing classical music every day? I actually forgot about this.

Fu Diao couldn't help but look at Sir Simon, pointed at his feet, and asked him: "By the way... can I play all the works in this place?"

"Of course! As long as you like, but be careful not to take too long."

Sir Simon smiled and nodded, then suddenly remembered something, stretched out a hand and nodded his head, with an extremely troubled expression on his face, hesitantly remarked: "Oh, by the way, although... I don't know if you have any faith or anything else.

What, but, I have to tell you, that is... you can play the works casually, but there is a problem! If you want to play those religious types, or some that are not in line with normal values

works, or works involving racial discrimination, it is best not to touch these works."

After saying that, he looked at Fu Diao with a hint of helplessness: "Sorry, although my memory is not very good, I still remember this. What do you want to play? It's best to give me some peace of mind."

"Sir..." Fu Tiao said immediately, then looked at Sir Simon and asked: "Is this okay?"

"Well... it should be possible. The premise is that you play the jazz you have created yourself, not the jazz created by others." Sir Simon reminded Fu Diao: "Playing modern works, those copyright dealers

There is a fee.”

"Okay, I know."

Fu smiled and nodded.

Now that I have obtained Sir Simon's consent, why don't you think too much about the works you are good at and just play a little jazz?

Anyway, jazz... itself doesn't have any direction, and anyone can play a rough pattern.

…

The applause outside the room continued, but some doubts arose in everyone's mind. According to normal habits, the performer should come out for an encore at this time? It's impossible to applaud so many times without coming out, right?

There are people who don’t applaud for such a long time, but they always feel that it’s not quite right and they don’t feel particularly comfortable.

However, just when everyone's clapping hands were about to get sore and their hearts were full of doubts, the lights on the stage gradually dimmed, and the lights in the middle of the stage became intense again. Everyone suddenly understood something, and immediately returned to their own place full of excitement.

In the position, waiting for Fu Tiao's performance.

Click...

The back door of the stage opened, and Fu Tiao walked out of the door, smiling and waving gently to everyone. Under the sight of everyone, Fu Tiao sat on the piano bench, watching the keyboard in front of him without moving for a long time.

Everyone in the concert hall couldn't help but quiet down when they saw Fu Diao playing like this. They sat upright, looking at Fu Diao very seriously, waiting for his performance.

However, what everyone did not expect was that Fu Tiao did not start playing immediately. Instead, he looked at everyone and smiled maliciously at them.

"Sorry, it may be a slightly different Chopin. I hope you like it."

Everyone was stunned, but before they could realize what the different Chopin Fu Diao was referring to, Fu Diao's hand had already fallen on the piano.

when!

A very ordinary chord falls on the piano keyboard.

From this chord, you can only hear that Fu Diao's control over the timbre is really amazing. His skills are perfect, but you can't hear what Fu Diao wants to play at all.

Bang...

There was another chord, but everyone was still at a loss and couldn't hear anything.

However, at this time, Fu Diaoque turned around, smiled at everyone and said, "Oh, by the way, this is a fantasy improvisation."

A name that almost everyone has heard of appeared in front of everyone.

Chopin, Fantasy Impromptu.

It is a classic three-versus-four rhythm piece. It is the first piece that many students come into contact with when they first start learning irregular counterpoint playing.

This piece is neither difficult nor simple. It is generally very common as an encore piece. Many people will choose this piece to cater to the audience.

After all, this stuff is listened to by many people, it sounds good, it’s fast, and it’s awesome.

But now the feeling of playing Fu Tiao is completely different.

The beginning of Fu Tiao is extremely slow, and it takes a long time to press a note.

Is this a fantasy improvisation? You can’t even move it?

Just when everyone could hardly hear anything, the speed of Fu's tune slowly increased and became faster and faster.

In fact, compared to a fantasy improvisation, this beginning is more like the popular work "rush E"

When it is about to enter the theme, the music played by Fu finally reaches the position where a normal fantasy improvisation should be.

It sounds like Fu Diao just made a faster and faster process in the front, but in fact, it's not just that.

After the music entered the main melody, Fu Diao's hands seemed to have let go of their restraints and ran quickly on the keyboard.

The originally extremely familiar melody, on top of the basic inner chord tones, Fu Tune added many tones that are unique to jazz chords.

It may sound similar, but in fact, the two are vastly different.

This strange feeling made everyone's eyes light up.

Many people did not expect that in such a serious concert, Fu Diao, as the representative of this year's Chopin International Piano Competition, should normally be very serious. After all, he is still a classical musician, but he actually performed in this concert.

Such weird music was made on the stage.

There's even a little bit of cynicism in it.

Jazz itself has a vitality that is completely different from classical music. In many cases, it can easily arouse everyone's emotions and make everyone laugh.

Fu Diao's left hand kept making big jumps. After hooking the little finger from the very low bass, the other four fingers spanned three or four octaves and flew directly to the center of the keyboard to press the chords.

It sounds simple, but in fact, it is extremely difficult.

Not only does it require extremely high accuracy, it also requires a lot of physical strength.

Fu Tiao's arms danced back and forth on the keyboard, accurately searching for the position of each chord, and the waving of his arms even made people feel dizzy.

If someone can point a camera at Fu Diao's hand at this time, you will completely find that unless special shooting equipment is used to take pictures, it is basically impossible to capture Fu Diao's hand with an ordinary camera.

The speed was so fast that my arms were flying in the air without stopping the whole time.

You may even wonder, did Fu Tiao's fingers touch the keys?
