Chapter 216 London·Platform 9

It’s not just Zhu Wenliang alone, you can even say that all Kapustin lovers and some jazz players in China were alarmed.

Everyone knows Fu Tiao.

Everyone knows that Fu Diao plays jazz. After all, there are a lot of videos of Fu Diao playing jazz on the Internet. Everyone also admires Fu Diao's adaptation of Chopin's works.

What they didn't expect was that when Fu Tiao played jazz works, he would actually choose Kapustin.

This feeling of running in both directions made their bones sore with joy.

Especially Fu Diao's performance has a special flavor, which feels different from the Kapustin played by others.

So they sound and feel more comfortable.

In addition, Fu Diao basically goes to one place a week, just like an anime that is updated once a week, and they feel more comfortable listening to Fu Diao.

Every week they look forward to some novel experiences that Fu Tiao can bring them.

In fact, just as they thought, Fu Diao went to Lisbon the next week and played the Kapustin Concert Etudes Op40-1,40- in the encore at the San Carlos Grand Theater in Lisbon, Portugal.

2, and the subsequent encore held at the Concert Hall in Madrid, Spain.

Kapustin Concert Etude Op40-4,5.

The five Kapustin concert etudes now displayed by Fu Tiao are more skillful and more dazzling every time.

The Op40-3 at that time might still be a little green and not natural enough.

But when Fu Diao came to Madrid, Spain, the calmness and humor in his playing shocked almost everyone.

Under their gaze, Fu Diao played his Kapustin easily and freely, and the feeling was completely different.

After careful comparison and analysis of Fu Tiao's performance, they were extremely surprised to find...

The Kapustin played by Fu Tiao actually has a gradually rising trend, as if someone is guiding him behind the scenes.

Listening to Fu Diao's performance, everyone became even more surprised. It was hard to imagine who could have such ability to guide Fu Diao in playing Kapustin's works.

Could it be... is it Kapustin himself?

Some people have some speculation about the person who guided Fu Diao. Although it is outrageous, looking at Fu Diao's progress, it seems that it is really possible that Kapustin himself is guiding Fu Diao.

Otherwise, no matter how you explain it, you will not be able to explain Fu Tiao's progressive trend clearly.

In fact, just as everyone had guessed, Fu Diao returned to Paris from Madrid and was standing at the customs gate of Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, looking at the old man behind him and nodding respectfully.

"Mr. Kapustin, thank you very much for your teaching during this period. I have benefited a lot."

"Hahaha, I didn't actually teach you anything, it's just that you learned well. Your ability to learn is beyond my imagination."

Kapustin burst out laughing, reached out and patted Fu Diao on the shoulder, smiling casually.

After returning from Paris, he had been chatting with Fu Diao about music. He followed Fu Diao all the way from Lisbon to Madrid, and finally returned to Paris.

The reason for returning to Paris is not for any other reason, but because there are more flights from Paris to London. Although you can take the undersea tunnel, take a train, or take a ferry, in terms of convenience, it is more convenient to fly from Paris to London.

After Fu Diao struggled with transportation for a long time, he booked himself a low-cost flight from Paris to London.

As for why you book low-cost airlines...

The main reason is that low-cost airlines are really convenient, especially for Fu Diao, who didn’t bring much carry-on luggage but just some changes of clothes and a schoolbag.

He didn't need to buy luggage, the flight was short, and he didn't need to buy food on the plane. Apart from listening to Kapustin's recommendation and booking himself a safe passage position with a little extra legroom, there was nothing else.

Additional expenses.

This is why Fu Tiao returned to Paris.

Kapustin was also preparing to leave Paris and return to Moscow. Unknowingly, he had stayed in Europe for more than twenty days. He felt that if he stayed any longer, he would not be able to celebrate Christmas.

It's already December 10th, and there are still two weeks until Christmas.

The streets in Europe have been decorated with Christmas decorations, and the location in front of the city hall in the city center is filled with Christmas markets.

Everyone looked very happy and relaxed, happily waiting for the arrival of Christmas.

Kapustin looked at Fu Diao and couldn't help but smile and asked: "Fu, by the way, do you have any plans for Christmas? Or a tour?"

"Well, I'm still touring, but because of Christmas and New Year's Day, I have several performances that have to wait until mid-January or February, and they won't be able to start until then."

Fu Diao blew a breath of hot air and said with a smile.

"The performance in London should be the last one. After the performance, this year's performance tasks are over. I may go back to Berlin to chat with Mr. Claus, or I may go directly to Vienna, but I haven't decided on the details yet.

The content is just an idea."

"That's it..."

Kapustin nodded thoughtfully and suddenly asked: "Have you ever thought about coming to Moscow and spending Christmas with us? We can talk more about what we haven't finished talking about last time. I feel pretty good about it."

interesting."

"Going to Moscow? It seems...it's too late."

Fu Diao shrugged helplessly: "If I apply for a visa now, it will most likely be too late to wait until the visa is issued. I only have the Schengen visa from the European Union. The visa to England was obtained by Deutsche Grammophon before. Christmas is so short.

Time, there is a high probability that my visa will not be approved."

"Well, that would be a pity."

Kapustin looked at Fu Diao with regret and said.

He had a really pleasant chat with Fu Tiao recently, especially about his works. Fu Tiao's thinking process gave him a deeper understanding of his own works.

At the beginning, because he was not a master-student relationship, his conversation was not very in-depth. He just explained his creative logic and some of his thoughts.

In addition, in order not to affect Fu Diao's performance, he specifically told Fu Diao that he did not need to follow his ideas. His ideas were just a reference. The specific way to perform the music depends on Fu Diao himself.

After all, for the performer, what the composer thinks is just a reference, and the specific performance still depends on the performer's own thoughts.

Take Rachmaninov's works for example. He has many recordings of his own works performed, and his technique is also very strong. He is definitely not the kind of composer who scribbles out works that he cannot perform himself.

However, he rarely premiered his own works. Instead, he gave the works to Horowitz, the king of piano at the time, to perform. Horowitz's playing style was completely different from what he thought, but he only retained Rage's original work.

The taste, other than that, is all Horowitz's own characteristics.

Listening to Horowitz's performance, Rachmaninoff didn't care at all, but admired his interpretation very much.

Like Rachmaninov, Kapustin also had the same idea.

But what he didn't expect at all was that Fu Diao, after fully understanding his composition ideas, could draw inferences from one instance and come up with some details that he hadn't thought of.

Listening to Fu Diao's explanation, he even admired himself a little bit. He didn't know what he was thinking at the time, but he was able to write such a wonderful pen.

The more we chatted with Fu Tiao, the happier he became. Now Fu Tiao is going to London to give his last concert of 2015, and he is also going back to Moscow for Christmas, so he is still a little reluctant to part with it.

He reached out and took Fu Diao's hands, shook them hard, and smiled with great solemnity.

"Anyway, if you have anything you don't understand in the future, you can come to me at any time in Moscow. Although I haven't been on stage for a long time, I still have a say in music creation. You can come to me at any time if you want.

Find me."

"Well, no problem, see you later."

Fu Diao smiled and talked with Kapustin. After the two held hands again, Kapustin left first with the jealous students and walked towards the plane flying to Moscow.

Fu Tiao, on the other hand, walked to the other side, heading to where he wanted to go next.

His tour has so far visited six cities.

Berlin, Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, Lisbon and Madrid.

London was his last city of the first half.

The second half is something we have to wait until next year for the opportunity to go to.

Geneva, Milan, Vienna, Budapest, Moscow, and two domestic shows.

By the time the performance in Moscow ends, it will be February 6th, which is Chinese New Year’s Eve, and February 7th, Chinese New Year’s Eve, so we can rest for two or three weeks before starting the rest of the tour.

Fu Tiao was a little tired from running around these past few weeks, but it was still bearable.

Fu Diao shook his head, breathed a sigh of relief, and took the shuttle bus to another terminal. After waiting there for a while, he boarded the scheduled low-cost flight, EasyJet.

The waiting time was not long, and everyone had already boarded the plane. With a burst of acceleration, everyone left Paris and flew towards London.

Fu Diao seems to have become accustomed to airplanes. When flying, he only feels nervous when taking off and feels a push on his back. At other times, he no longer has any nervous emotions in it. He watches very calmly and calmly.

Everything around me, I then picked up the music score and started reading it.

The man next door looked at Fu Diao with a little surprise. After looking Fu Diao up and down, he felt that he might have seen Fu Diao somewhere.

However, after much thought, I couldn't figure out who Fu Tiao was, so I could only shake my head and plan to throw this idea aside.

He just thinks that Asians all have similar faces and it's hard to tell who is who.

The plane soon arrived at London's airport, Heathrow Airport.

This is the busiest airport in Europe. If we simply talk about the number of flights, this airport can even be regarded as the second in the world.

The only airport with more outbound flights than him is Dubai Airport.

The plane took just over an hour from takeoff to landing, and then parked in a hangar far away from the terminal. Fu Diao followed the guidance of the ground staff, got on the shuttle bus, and headed towards Heathrow Airport.
