Chapter 191 The classical pianist closest to the jazz god

And when Fu Tiao and others were heading to Paris, the video of Fu Tiao's encore concert had also been uploaded to YouTube.

Similar to China's PiliPili, although YouTube videos are aimed at audiences around the world, it is only because of the niche nature of classical music itself and the fact that Fu Tiao himself is not as well-known as Dacheng, the world's top pianist, so his

These videos don't actually receive particularly much attention.

The playback volume lasted for a whole day, and there were probably only a few thousand plays, a little short of reaching 10,000.

Most of the comments were left by Chinese from overseas and the three islands.

Apart from them, there are more fans from Japan and South Korea, and then there are people from other countries.

I don’t know if it’s because foreigners speak more directly, which makes their comments extremely embarrassing.

"The world's number one Chopin player, I really like Fu Tiao's performance."

"Perfect, meticulous, and soft, only in Fu Diao's music can you feel the charm of Chopin."

"Mr. Fu Tiao, you are a treasure of this world. You are not only a classical music pianist in China, but also a music master in the world. I will always admire you and learn from you forever."

"It's rare to meet Li Diyun in a century, and Diofu in a thousand years. I have to fight against thousands of bandits alone, and make great contributions to the country! His skills are amazing, long live the piano saint!"

"Talents will always be talents and will not be defeated by anything external."

"It's so handsome. Fu Sang's performance simply pierced my heart. I was unbelievable. I couldn't take my eyes away from Fu Sang. He is simply a treasure given to this world by God."

"Every time, I feel that Fu Diao's performance can directly touch the softest part of people's hearts. His interpretation of the works of the Romantic period is simply perfect to the soul. It is so perfect that it makes you cry."

"I heard it more than once, Fu! You are the best!"

"..."

Comments like this pile up under Fu Tiao's performance videos. They sound completely different from the video comments from China, but this one is very consistent with the comment style of YouTube.

It's just a little bit of a pity. Although the comments are better than the singing, there are still too few people watching Fu Diao's video. After waiting for a whole day, not many people came to watch it, so it was barely close to a full day.

Wanduo plays.

Although few people watched it, the quality was very high.

For example, Andre and Luca, who had always wanted to listen to Fu Diao playing, kept refreshing their videos about Fu Diao after they returned home. After the videos of Fu Diao recorded by other viewers came out, they kept listening to them.

They listened to his performance countless times, and finally discovered with great shock that their previous guess about Fu Tiao was completely correct.

Not only that, they also took a look at some videos that Fu Diao himself posted to see how Fu Diao performed in these videos.

The fact is just as they thought, all Fu Diao's performances did not have any music scores, and almost all of them were performed by improvisation.

Seeing all this, Andre's head couldn't help but feel a little dizzy. He looked at Luca beside him and spoke to him.

"Did you hear what Fu Tiao played just now?"

"Well, I can tell a little bit about it. Just as you told me in Brussels before, Fu Diao's performance was indeed almost all improvisation. He had no preparation at all for the work he was about to perform. All

The performances are all based on the situation on site, not just at the Royal Academy of Music in Brussels, but also at other places, such as the Berlin Philharmonic and the Royal Concertgebouw in Amsterdam."

Luka stretched out his finger and pointed at the video uploaded by Fu Diao on the screen in front of them.

The videos uploaded by Fu Diao have a mark on them, such as which concert this piece was performed in.

For example, the first one.

"Fu Tiao, Berlin Philharmonic Hall, Jazz Arrangement of Chopin's Fantasy Impromptu"

And the one they heard from their students' cell phones before.

"Fu Diao, Amsterdam Royal Concertgebouw, Chopin Etude Dongfeng Jazz Arrangement"

All the information appeared in front of them, and they also took this opportunity to listen to Fu Diao's performance and think about how Fu Diao adapted classical music into jazz music before.

As a result, after listening to all the jazz arrangements, they couldn't help but become silent.

Fu Diao's performance was so good and perfect.

Especially Fu Diao's use of traditional chords and harmonic progressions. Fu Diao's performance of this very early music is particularly spiritual.

It was as if he had lived in that era.

It does not use many modern harmonies, but only uses some of the most original and traditional jazz harmonies to achieve this performance.

While retaining the feel of classical music, the music can also be expressed in a jazzy style.

This strength is really terrifying.

Andre looked at Luca beside him and said.

"What do you say? A magazine happened to ask me for an article. Tomorrow is the deadline. I plan to write an article for Fu Diao. What do you think?"

"Okay, but which magazine is it?"

"phonograph."

Andre grinned, his pride not hidden in his eyes at all.

Gramophone Magazine is not a Deutsche Grammophon company. This magazine is a traditional music magazine from England.

This magazine was originally created to promote the existence of those records. As it continued to develop, it gradually transformed into the most authoritative music magazine.

Only a small part of the above contains anecdotes about each musician, and most of them are live reviews and record reviews of each musician.

The selected commentators, without any exception, are all the most famous big names in the industry.

Andre looked extremely excited and proud when he said this. It was obvious that he was very proud to be a professional commentator for Gramophone magazine.

Luca obviously didn't expect Andre to actually say that, so he couldn't help but be a little silent, patted his shoulder with a very complicated expression, and then grabbed his neck with both hands and rocked back and forth.

"What the hell, when did you become a reviewer for Gramophone magazine? Why didn't I know? We both entered the Berlin University of the Arts together, and you were a jazz teacher and I was a pop teacher. How could you be invited to write an article by Gramophone magazine?

,I don’t have any invitation?”

"Maybe, you are a popular teacher, and the style of the gramophone and magazine does not match."

Andre raised his hands to beg for mercy and swayed back and forth with Luca's hands, the smile on his face not concealed at all.

After Luka vented in that place for a long time, he finally sighed, put down his hand holding Andre's neck, and said helplessly.

"Forget it, you can get this spot if you get it, but I want to ask you, are you sure you want to write about Fu Diao instead of other people? Fu Diao hasn't released any album yet, or even

Not even the live concert record has been released... Oh no, he has released his Chopin International Piano Competition record. I remember my students even bought it for live signings, ahem, but he has not released his record.

For a jazz live record, is it really okay for you to write about it like this?"

"No problem at all."

Andre adjusted his collar and calmed down the clothes that Luca had torn up. He smiled and said to Luca: "In Gramophone magazine, a large part of the territory is given to all musicians."

Although the invitation given to me by Gramophone magazine only occupies a small space, this page is about live concerts, so of course there is no problem for me to write about Fu Diao."

"Okay, okay, since you have decided, just write it. I will go back and continue to look at Fu Diao's performance and show it to my students for analysis."

Luca stood up helplessly, waved his hand, turned around and prepared to go out.

After he stood at the door and paused for a long time, he finally turned his head to look at Andre and asked him.

"But, Andre, do you sense a problem?"

"Huh? What's the problem?" Andre picked up the pen and asked without raising his head.

"That's... is it possible that Fu Diao doesn't know how to play modern jazz, but only knows classical chords?"

"..."

Andre's hand suddenly stopped. He looked at Luca in front of him who was slightly silent, and then grinned: "But this has nothing to do with his scene. The trend of modern jazz chords is actually not complicated. Even if he doesn't know it, he can't

You just need to study more and try more, and the talent in using these classical jazz chords cannot be wasted by casual study."

"That's true."

Luka seemed to feel like a stone had fallen from his heart. He took a breath, nodded to Andre, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'll leave now. See you later."

"Well, see you later."

Andre wrote the copy in his hand and spoke without raising his head.

…

In fact, just as he said, after he finished writing, he threw it directly to Gramophone Magazine. After Gramophone Magazine re-reviewed it two or three times, it was conveniently placed in the Gramophone Magazine published the next day and sold.

Point of sale for the world ahead.

And this sale almost directly leveraged the North American market.

Fu Tiao's current base is in Europe, and all of his tour destinations are in Europe.

In North America, there is basically no exposure to Fu Diao, and people there are not particularly enthusiastic about Fu Diao.

After all, the market there is almost entirely occupied by Lang Liangyue alone. If there is another performer with similar style and personal style, not many people are interested.

However, although they did not pay much attention to Fu Diao, they paid great attention to Gramophone Magazine.

The sales of Gramophone Magazine in North America far exceed those in Europe, and they pay more attention to classical music.

Although many of them are just watching the fun, it is undeniable that those watching the fun are also spectators.
