Chapter 173 The God of Jazz!(1/2)
According to the imagination of Wu Hong and others, as an encore piece after a concert, it should normally be rehearsed and thoroughly rehearsed. In other words, the encore piece you hear in every concert should be almost exactly the same.
's performance.
This is not just nonsense, but actually many performers do this.
For example, Lang Liangyue, currently the strongest pianist in China, will basically play a song of "Jasmine" that he adapted himself after every performance, especially after his performance abroad.
This may be a habit he has developed since he started playing. I remember he said at the time that the Jasmine he played when he performed outside for the first time impressed many Chinese overseas, especially those in beautiful countries.
I was so moved that tears filled my eyes and my face, and I kept thanking him for bringing them so much warmth to their hometown.
Probably because of these reasons, almost all of his encore repertoire abroad were Jasmine or other traditional Chinese works.
As for performances in places with a large number of Chinese people, or in China, he likes to play the most classic Western works in the encore after the performance, such as Turkish March, Für Elise, and Liszt's Bells.
I don’t know how many years have passed, but it has basically not changed much, and there are fewer and fewer bells played. Almost all of them are works such as Turkish March or Für Elise that everyone is familiar with.
Of course, you definitely can’t ask for too much from an encore work. This is equivalent to a plate of side dishes given to you by the restaurant after you finish your meal. For example, if you still have a few bottles of wine on hand, let’s get you some.
Stack peanuts or something for you to try and drink with it.
But for Wu Hong and others, this kind of encore felt a bit perfunctory or carefully designed, and even felt a bit like a part of the concert. It always felt like something was missing.
Even if all musicians do this, everyone has very low requirements for the encore repertoire of the concert, and there are almost no requirements, and it is still the same.
Therefore, when they heard the encore of Fu Tiao's concert last time, their first reaction was surprise. A surprise that was different from the usual concerts. It was not perfunctory like Lang Liangyue's, but a real surprise.
A new encore piece was given according to the audience’s preferences.
At a classical concert, perform a concert encore that is mainly classical, supplemented by jazz, and the two are integrated into each other.
As long as you have listened to classical music several times, you should be pleasantly surprised by such a piece, after all, such an encore is almost completely unheard.
So for Wu Hong, compared to Fu Diao's main concert, he is more looking forward to Fu Diao's encore. The last time he listened to it felt completely inadequate, just like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit. He snored and went down.
I couldn't taste anything, and all that remained was a hint of shock and unfinished meaning.
When he came here this time, in addition to accompanying his partner, he mainly wanted to listen to Fu's encore again, and then listen to the extremely shocking jazz version of Chopin's Fantasy Impromptu and the first saint of Chopin's Piano Etudes.
Jazz version of the escape song.
but……
Wu Hong never expected that the encore repertoire would be changed directly this time. Two new etudes were replaced and played as encore repertoire for everyone to listen to.
It wasn't just him, Chen Ying, who was a little interested in the encore piece but only listened to it as a dessert after dinner, also couldn't help but open his eyes.
She didn't expect that someone would do this.
There was actually one more song, no, no, two songs! Two new encore songs.
How big of a repertoire does this have to have?
Except for the two of them, everyone else who chased him from Berlin to Amsterdam was also dumbfounded.
Some of them boasted in advance with their friends who had never heard of it before, saying that they had attended all of Fu Diao's concerts and that at the end Fu Diao would play two Chopin works adapted by Fu Diao's jazz.
As a result, now this jazz work is real jazz, and the adaptation of Chopin's work is also a real adaptation of Chopin's work.
This Chopin work was completely different from what they had heard before.
The emotions of the people off the stage suddenly became all kinds of strange, with all kinds of emotions present, but they all had a unified emotion.
That's curiosity.
They were really curious about how Fu Tiao could be played.
Wu Hong looked at the people around him and couldn't help but quietly took out his cell phone and pointed it at Fu Diao on the stage.
Normally, photography is not allowed during the main stage of the concert, and even if photos are taken, only special photographers are allowed.
Maybe it’s because before taking photos, you need to use a very big, flashy, and noisy flash, which affects the emotions of the performers on the stage, or there are some other weird and special reasons, but anyway, taking pictures is not allowed.
But during the encore stage after the concert, you can shoot as you like. There are no restrictions on this.
For example, Li Diyun’s concert crash videos seem to be a lot, and they have been watched almost 100,000 times over several hours, but these videos are not of much significance.
These pieces are either his encore works, which are outside the concert itself. In fact, the overturn will not have a big impact on the concert itself.
Or it was a stolen photo taken during the concert.
In addition to being unable to fully reflect the performance of the performers themselves, stolen photos during concerts may also have an impact on the performers themselves, causing them to think about too many unnecessary things while playing.
At the same time, this also proved that some of the audience off the stage were not listening to his performance at all.
So it’s very difficult to describe.
But now it's the encore stage of the concert, and it doesn't matter even taking pictures at this time. This is the main reason why Wu Hong took out his mobile phone at this time.
He was so shocked when he heard it last time that he forgot that he could still take photos.
This time, he had to record all of Fu Tiao's performance and listen to it more when he went back.
On the stage, Fu Tiao's mood was actually very calm.
For him, this encore is just for fun, especially after the performance of his extremely serious works, he always needs some works to relax and have fun. He doesn't think about it as much as the people off the stage.
As for specially preparing encore works, reprocessing encore works, or other messy things, Fu Tiao doesn't care at all.
Encore Encore, this is just a piece of cake.
No matter how deified the encore is, this is not the kind of piece that can be used as a concert alone.
So last time after he had a long chat with Taylor, Sir Simon, and others, he completely relaxed his choice of encore tracks.
Since it is a small surprise and welfare feedback for the audience, why do you need to be so nervous? Concentrate on studying how to perform the encore repertoire?
Just take the work you have completed and start working on it, and that’s it!
Fu Diao raised his hand and landed on the keyboard of the piano, extremely gentle, just like what was shown at the beginning of Chopin's piece.
For jazz adapted works, it does not need to be completely adapted from the moment the keys are dropped. Instead, it is necessary to maintain the basic flavor of the original work and then perform special adaptation processing to make the music more dynamic.
Therefore, Fu Diao placed his fingers on the keyboard of the piano with great ease and pressed the first few notes of Chopin's Winter Wind Etude.
These notes sound very simple, even when you look at the music score, it feels very simple. Even people who have just learned music music can play it directly. Some people have even joked before, saying that they can play the first four of "Dongfeng..."
section.
In fact, these sounds are very difficult, not because of the high technical difficulty requirements, but because of the difficulty in controlling the timbre and the overall music.
These notes are the introduction to this piece and the soul of the entire piece. If you want to play this piece well, you must maximize the beauty of these notes.
A performance with aesthetics and a performance without aesthetics have completely different sensory effects.
When Fu Diao's finger came down, everyone's bodies could not help but tremble, and many people even had goosebumps on their hands.
This feeling is really beautiful. It is just a few notes, but a child can play a few notes, but it can be so beautiful.
After the music temporarily stopped and the music tension was stretched to the maximum, the violent winter wind suddenly fell, giving everyone an unparalleled sense of shock.
The beginning given by Fu Tiao is still the beginning of the traditional winter wind.
Even if this is not jazz, if you just listen to the beginning of this piece with traditional eyes, you will feel shocked from the bottom of your heart.
He deserves to be the champion of the Chopin International Piano Competition and a top master.
This version of Dongfeng's interpretation is really enough to enter the top of the Chopin etude version rankings, and it is enough for many people to never tire of listening to it.
However, this is just an introduction to Fu Tiao, an introduction used by Fu Tiao to arouse everyone's feelings about Chopin's Winter Wind Etude. He just tells you that this is Chopin's Winter Wind, and it does not mean to play Winter Wind completely.
Therefore, when everyone was immersed in the music of the winter wind, Fu Diao looked at everyone, suddenly smiled softly, raised his hand, and changed the key of the music.
People like habits, and the more familiar a work is, the more they like it.
When they hear a piece of work that they feel is different from theirs, they will not continue listening to it for the first time, but will become confused.
Why is this place so different from what they heard before?
Will there be any changes in music?
Or... I played it wrong?
Many people who had just listened to Fu Diao's performance looked confused and looked at Fu Diao with confusion, waiting for an explanation of Fu Diao's music.
As for Wu Hong, those who have experienced Berlin are full of expectations.
The next performance must be Fu's favorite part, Chopin's jazz arrangement!
Anyone who has listened to Fu Tiao knows that Fu Tiao is completely different from other classical music pianists. His ability in jazz is even like that of a performer who specializes in jazz.
Fu was actually not able to pass the jazz concert tour.
Now that there have been slight changes in music, this proves that Fu Tiaohe... is going to introduce jazz!
Those people looked at Fu Tiao expectantly, waiting for Fu Tiao's performance.
And Fu Tiao did not mean to live up to the expectations of these people. His hand made an extremely skillful obstruction and termination, and adapted the ending position of the music from the fifth level to the first level, turning it into a fifth level walk.
to the fourth degree chord, forming an unexpected sound effect.
According to the music logic at the beginning, one can go from level one to level five, but level five cannot go to level four. This is why one-five-one, one-four-one, one-four-five-one can appear, but one cannot appear.
