Among all Chopin's piano ballads, Chopin's Fourth Piano Ballade is second only to the First Piano Ballade in artistic achievement, and the most difficult among all ballads.

The most difficult point is not the piano skills, which are nothing to the top pianists. The most difficult point is actually the touch of the piano keys.

The gentle touch of Fu Tiao's fingers on the piano keyboard seemed to give no power, but it made the piano play an especially terrifying beauty.

This set of works is the most difficult. This ballad is more colorful and more elegant than the other three. The elegance of this piece is completely different from the previous ones.

Before, it may have felt more like love songs and grand epics created by men, but by the time the Fourth Ballade appeared, the masculine feeling in his music had been weakened, and the feminism in his bones was

It emerges slowly.

It's as beautiful as if it were written by a woman.

This kind of beauty makes it similar to Chopin's late works, such as "Barcarolle" and "Fantasy Polonaise".

Here, the lyrical, narrative main theme with a melancholy and fantasy temperament strengthens the basic emotional color through the development of variations.

The whole piece is moaning, and all the emotions are serving this moan, which makes everyone in the concert hall even have the slightest illusion of being flirtatious.

Even though his body was slightly stiff and his muscles were lifting the clothes, it seemed that it was not easy to control such a tone.

The opposition between vision and hearing makes Fu Diao's music more interesting.

Although it sounds as if Chopin has become a woman, there is absolutely nothing feminine about Fu Tiao's thoughts now.

He stared at the piano in front of him, his brain working crazily.

He even felt like he was walking a tightrope at this moment. There were really too many things in music and it was too difficult.

The touch keys here need to be extremely soft and beautiful, as weak and boneless as a woman, but there needs to be a spirit to support the whole music, so that all the emotions in the music will not appear too loose.

One more point would appear to be too tough and lose a lot of meaning.

If one point is missing, the whole thing will be completely loose and the music will lose its soul.

Control your own hands, control your emotions, and control Chopin in music.

Keep everything under control and not go to the edge of losing control.

Through his control of this place, everything in the music becomes extremely gorgeous.

This is what Fu Tiao is doing at this moment.

If you only need to pay attention to the music control, it is actually not bad and not particularly difficult.

But the problem is, music is not just about timbre control.

Everyone was so immersed in Fu Diao's performance that they didn't notice a particularly crucial point at all.

That is……

The extremely messy musical structure and complex emotions actually became particularly tame under Fu Tiao's hands.

It's like a ball of wool that has been messed up by a cat. You can't tell which side is the head and which side is the tail. The messy lines are mixed together, which makes people even have a slight headache.

But now, under Fu Diao's hand, you can't hear any complexity at all, and all the musical emotions evolve very logically.

It's like this is how music should be interpreted.

The messy yarn ball turned into a knitted scarf, orderly and stable.

Such complicated work is not noticed by any ordinary audience, everything is hidden under his control of the music.

Only some very powerful top pianists, who did not carefully appreciate Fu Tiao's performance, but analyzed Fu Tiao's performance, noticed this.

It’s still Zhao Chengzhen.

He looked at Fu Tiao in front of him with slight disbelief, and his whole brain even went into a trace of chaos.

He listened to and analyzed an entire Fu Diao concert. He had never felt so shocked at a certain time.

He had played this piece before.

No, to be precise, there are very few people who take Chopin as their main performance direction and have not played Chopin's Fourth Ballade.

Even Hamelin next to me also played.

But why, at the Chopin International Piano Competition, so few people choose third or fourth?

Proportionally speaking, the person who chooses first is always the most.

The reason is that the difficulty of the first ballade is not high, but the artistry is high.

In other words, the lower limit of this work is low and the upper limit is high.

Just like Tetris, everyone can play it, but professional players can play this thing to a great extent, even to the extent that ordinary people can't even dream of it.

This is the case with Chopin's First Piano Ballade.

Chopin's Piano Ballade No. 4 is completely different. It has a high upper limit, but the lower limit is either high or zero.

What is this like, Diablo's expert mode.

If you can avoid dying, no matter how awesome you play, the lower limit is scary high, and the upper limit is also scary, but the problem is...it's easy to die.

High risk and high reward, but the level of reward is not as good as the First Ballade. Therefore, many people do not like to play the Fourth Ballade and prefer the First Ballade.

This also makes the First Ballade seem particularly cheap. After listening to it too many times, my ears will almost feel numb.

For Hamelin and Zhao Chengzhen, they are really familiar with Chopin's Fourth Ballade, so they are also very aware of the difficulties involved.

You don’t know if you don’t play it, but if you have played it, you will know how terrifying Fu Tiao is.

Zhao Chengzhen felt like his whole body was numb. He looked at everything in front of him in disbelief, his mind filled with disbelief.

He frowned tightly and analyzed everything he heard.

"No, no, how did he do this place, this place? Why does this place feel so strange? No, it's not strange, it's smooth. This place is too smooth..."

"Wait a minute, why is Fu Diao interpreting it like this in this place? Isn't this place f? Why do I feel that his power here seems to be mf? No, no, oh, right, I understand, behind, it is in

This way..."

"This, this, and this, the touch feeling in this place, the performance of this legato phrase, how did he achieve it?"

"Oh, yes, yes, yes, it's this way... No, no, no, no, oh! Yes, yes, yes... no! No, no, no!"

Zhao Chengzhen felt that his whole mind was about to go crazy. He was just listening to Fu Tiao's performance and analyzing the details of Fu Tiao's performance on the spot as well as the preliminary foreshadowing and the later presentation. As a result, his mind was about to go crazy.

He knows that piano is difficult, especially for people like them who play the piano more deeply.

But he never imagined that piano could be so difficult.

It was so difficult that he even felt like his head was turning too much, and he felt like he was about to vomit out the last night's meal.

Fu Tiao played so smoothly, but why did he still feel like there were a lot of messy lines in front of him after just a simple analysis, making him unable to see anything clearly?

He rubbed the center of his brows, resisting the nausea caused by dizziness in his brain, and continued to analyze Fu Tiao's performance.

But the more he analyzed it, the more terrifying and incomprehensible he felt.

He had no idea how Fu Tiao did it.

Therefore, it was very uncomfortable for him to listen, as if he was listening to a book from heaven.

He glanced at the excited Hamelin next to him, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, poked Hamelin helplessly, and asked in a low voice.

"Hamelin, don't you feel anything?"

"Feeling? What does it feel like?"

Hamelin turned his head and glanced at Zhao Chengzhen, with a blank look on his face, and asked in confusion: "How do you feel?"

"It's just... you didn't analyze it?" Zhao Chengzhen glanced at Hamelin's appearance, couldn't help but sigh, turned his attention to other places, and waved.

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

"Um, analysis?"

Hamelin was stunned for a moment, but soon he understood what Zhao Chengzhen was just talking about. He couldn't help but smile and wave his hands: "Hey, what do you think you are talking about? Analyze Fu Diao's performance..."

"You didn't analyze it?"

Zhao Chengzhen raised his eyelids and asked, but Hamelin chuckled twice.

"I analyzed it, but then I couldn't understand it. I couldn't analyze it. It was just like listening to the works of those top masters. So I decided to give up. I will analyze it slowly after Dior's album comes out.

."

As he spoke, he looked at everything in front of him, his eyes full of enthusiasm.

"Dior's playing is really too strong. It's so strong that it's hard for me to understand. It's not that it's hard to understand his playing, but it's hard to understand why he was able to reach such a strong level in such a short period of time. This

How long has it been? How long has it been?"

He looked at Zhao Chengzhen beside him and asked: "Zhao, is it a year?"

"No, there are still several months to go..."

Zhao Chengzhen shook his head, but Hamelin's mood became even more intense. He suppressed his inner excitement and whispered.

"That's right, not even one year. Who's growth is not calculated in years, that is, everyone's progress is slightly faster before adulthood, but those improvements are only to reach a similar state of excellence, which does not mean that you can reach
