Chapter 194 City of Romance? City of Thieves!(2/2)
It's obvious that Zhao Chengzhen's current level has improved a little bit.
This improvement is not in the understanding of Chopin, but in his finger skills.
He seems to be more proficient in the technical control of chords, and he does a very good job in manipulating chords to interpret the main melody.
It's a pity that the main melody he is improvising now is almost equivalent to nothing, so even if he plays the chords very well and can attract some audiences, if he only has these things, he may be limited to this.
Not far from Fu Diao, there was a professional pianist who had just finished playing, and he couldn't help but be stunned at this moment.
Others may not know who Zhao Chengzhen is, but he knows, he is familiar with Zhao Chengzhen.
Just like the student next to Fu Diao from the Royal Conservatory of Music in Brussels, he is a student from the Conservatoire Supérieure de Musique in Paris and he came here to play.
Strictly speaking, he is still Zhao Chengzhen's senior, and he entered school a little earlier than Zhao Chengzhen.
However, he worked hard for a long time before barely graduating, and the year he just graduated, Zhao Chengzhen came in.
Moreover, he had already performed several jumps in a row as soon as he came in. From then on, he just showed up at the conservatory, but in fact he just studied alone with the teacher.
Looking at the comparison between himself and Zhao Chengzhen, he was very envious and respectful of this nominal junior student.
Now after seeing Zhao Chengzhen coming and listening to Zhao Chengzhen's performance, he felt like he was getting goosebumps.
only……
A trace of curiosity couldn't help but arise in his mind.
Just before, Zhao Chengzhen smiled at a person to the side. Who was that person? Zhao Chengzhen is a typical person in school who doesn’t smile much...
While listening to Zhao Chengzhen's performance, he turned his gaze to the side, and then saw someone he had not expected at all.
"Wait? This is... Dio Fu?"
He couldn't help but widen his pupils when he saw Fu Diao, and then swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
If Zhao Chengzhen is the person he admires and admires most, he hopes that he can reach Zhao Chengzhen's level.
Then Fu Tiao was the person he could only hope to reach in his life.
Zhao Chengzhen is so awesome that she dominates the school. She is almost the most star student in the entire school. She is known as the successor of the French School of Music. Almost everyone aspires to become a player like Zhao Chengzhen.
As a result, it’s okay for such a player to lose in the world’s top competition with no age limit. In the Chopin International Piano Competition, which is particularly biased towards young people, he actually lost to someone like Fu Tiao.
Fu Tiao did not have any particularly strong reputation before this. Even in the handicap before the game, Fu Tiao's odds of winning were extremely high, which meant that almost no one believed that Fu Tiao could win.
That is to say, Fu Tiao got third place in the first round, second place in the second round, and first place in the third round. This lowered his odds a lot and became one of the people with the lowest odds.
one.
The one who can surpass his idol, the champion of the Chopin International Piano Competition.
He actually appeared at the same scene as Zhao Chengzhen?
According to what the reporters said before, it seems that Fu Diao and Zhao Chengzhen have a little bit of a conflict. It would be easy for the two of them to fight, right?
Surprisingly, not only did the two of them not fight, but they seemed to be good friends and communicated with each other.
Seeing Fu Tiao groping his chin and staring at Zhao Chengzhen's performance, the pianist couldn't help but think so.
But soon, he overturned his idea.
Because Zhao Chengzhen is like this now, it is not like a simple communication, he is playing with all his strength.
It was a complex chord arrangement just now, but when his theme was repeated twice, he began to vary it into a more complex variation.
From the beginning, it was somewhat similar to Brahms' chord arrangement, and he changed it and played it somewhat similar to Beethoven's classical and romantic sonata style.
With the changes in chords and the complexity of the main melody, he has made fewer and fewer pure column chords in his music, adding more and more complex sustained chord decompositions and changes.
At the same time, the main melody in his hand finally took on a melody-like appearance.
I don’t know if he specifically wanted to show his strength in front of Fu Diao, but he deliberately made many relatively simple performances extremely complicated.
His fingers almost never stopped rotating on the piano. Thirty-second and even sixty-fourth notes in the countless Allegro drifted across the keyboard. The crackling sound of his fingers and keyboard made people feel that the piano might be broken at any time.
He played badly.
The surrounding audience also made wow sounds at this time. Many people looked at him, their eyes could not help but shine, and they covered their mouths and whispered to each other.
"This feels good!"
"Look at his hands, they play so fast!"
“Not only is it fast, it’s also loud!”
“Although I don’t understand which piece this piece is, I feel it is very powerful.”
"Have you heard of this piece? I'm really curious about the name of this piece. I want to go home and listen to it."
"Amazing."
"..."
The whispers of the crowd did not affect Zhao Chengzhen's performance at all. On the contrary, he heard everyone's voices in his ears, and the smile on his lips became even wilder.
Street pianos are different from stage pianos. The most important thing about a street piano is to show off your skills, as long as it sounds and feels great.
If you pay too much attention to the musicality of music.
So……
Definitely lose!
He couldn't help but look at Fu Tiao, who was listening to the music seriously.
To be honest, Fu Diao's level and strength were pretty good, but he felt that the main reason why Fu Diao was able to beat him at the Chopin International Piano Competition was that Fu Diao's musicality was more perfect than his.
Now on this stage, musicality is not the most important thing, so what will Fu Tiao do?
Should you perform some softer works and rely on the musicality of the music to win as before, or should you work hard with him?
If you use hard power... then it's hard to say.
After all, the top group of pianists today are all of the same level and strength, so the gap between them is not too big.
His fingers ran quickly on the piano, waiting for Fu Tiao to take over.
But Fu Diao didn't think much, just listened to Zhao Chengzhen's performance and kept nodding.
When he heard a certain place and felt that it was about the same, he nodded silently, took two steps forward, and walked to the edge of the piano. When Zhao Chengzhen was about to continue a new variation, he occupied the center of the music.
The high-pitched area robs the range of music.
Then, a piece of music that was similar to what Zhao Chengzhen had played before came out and perfectly combined with Zhao Chengzhen's music.
If two people hadn't appeared in front of everyone, no one would have realized that the music had started to change.
Fu Diao looked at Zhao Chengzhen who was a little confused beside him, smiled softly, and said casually.
"I know how you want to play, just leave the rest to me."
We went to Zimmermann's concert. The student ticket only costs 10 euros and you can sit in the front. Great!
