Chapter 66 Letter from Japan (5K)(1/2)



Fu Tiao was brought back to school by He Shen. Under He Shen's arrangement, he suspended the practice of Chopin and continued to study steadily. He no longer completely immersed himself in Chopin, but began to get in touch with some other things.

Such as club activities and some lectures.

Club activities are basically similar to other schools, such as animation clubs, vocal choirs, etc. It seems that sports clubs have to borrow venues from other schools.

The only thing that is quite different from other schools is that there is a modern music research club, which is a branch of the composition department and studies modern music.

Of course, this modern music is not pop music, but a music society pursuing the latest composition technology.

However, after Fu Diao just took a look at these contents and no longer cared about them, he focused his attention on those lectures.

Only then did he realize that Haicheng Conservatory of Music was really interesting.

In addition to the previous large-scale events, the International Piano Teaching Conference, basically there are various concert lectures held in the school every day.

The previous lecture was Chopin's lecture, and later he heard many lectures on the works of other composers, such as Beethoven, Bach, Schumann, Mozart, etc. These lectures filled almost every room in the small concert hall of Haicheng Conservatory of Music.

one day.

In addition to these lectures, there are also courses on performance techniques, performance ideas, discussion of composers' works, and expressions of musicians in the Romantic period.

These are also interesting and helpful for future career development.

Especially when He Shen told him before that he should rethink why he plays the piano.

Studying classical music is indeed interesting, and it feels good to delve deeper into it, but you must not go too deep into it, and you must not get out of a composer's horns.

If he didn't study Chopin, Fu Diao wouldn't know what to do for a while.

When he saw the jazz club before, he wanted to join it, but he didn't want to. After all, to be honest, most of the people who could discuss jazz with him were teachers. The things the students played, he didn't think they were particularly interesting at first glance, they were just a bit similar.

The kind that came before him, going to jazz for the sake of jazz.

And now, some doors outside of classical music have been opened for him. In this case, it is better to look at other composers and see how music developed in other periods.

It just so happens that I take this time to relax myself.

Therefore, after Fu Diao came back and reconfirmed his registration with his teacher and admitted some mistakes of skipping classes, he continued to pay attention to those lectures and concerts directly.

Squeeze out a little bit of your own time to listen to the speeches of other teachers and see if what they teach can be of use to you.

Fu Tiao is no longer immersed in Chopin, and his whole temperament is no longer sharp and cold, but has become mellow again.

Just like the gentleness of the sea gradually calming down.

Fu Diao calmed himself down and waited for the next opportunity to practice Chopin.

After He Shen brought Fu Diao back, he sank into the piano room alone. Apart from normal concert rehearsals, he devoted all his time to the Chopin International Piano Competition.

He was actually thinking about what he had said to Fu Diao before.

He has been taking Fu Diao to find his Chopin to help him complete his own performance.

But... the path he set for Fu Tiao was a bit too broad. He just purely helped Fu Tiao find Chopin. In fact, it had no effect at all. On the contrary, it might aggravate Fu Tiao's overall anxiety.

After all, it seems that I still have a lot of tasks to complete, and the competition will start in about four months.

Even I can feel anxious and nervous.

Especially since Fu Diao didn't have many works in his hands and only had a few pieces. This sense of oppression made Fu Diao even more anxious.

I had been paying attention to Fu Diao's professionalism at the time, but forgot about this, which almost caused Fu Diao to go crazy. He Shen couldn't help but reflect on this.

He now wants to find works that are more suitable for Fu Diao. Since Mr. Wang from the Central Academy transferred Fu Diao to his hands, he naturally needs to be responsible for Fu Diao. He also needs to start thinking. After Fu Diao, Chopin

Works performed at international piano competitions.

What works are I good at teaching, Fu Tiao good at playing, and able to bring out all the advantages?

He Shen fell into deep thought and locked himself in the piano room for a long time.

Time goes by like this day by day.

He Shen was still preparing Fu Tiao's competition repertoire. He flew directly from Haicheng to Beijing. After long discussions with teachers from the Central Academy, he got a rough direction, but that direction was a bit too old and not suitable for the first time.

Got Fu Tiao.

The only interesting thing is that the two people said that the progress of Fu Diao was completely different. The Central Academy said that Fu's Chopin playing was actually very good. Even among the students at Central Academy, he was considered one of the best.

Although that person didn't have that thorough understanding of Chopin, he was indeed extremely well behaved.

Just like a ruler, he will never play without thinking thoroughly.

The Fu tune that He Shen saw there was incomparable in terms of technical and musicality. Chopin felt that although he was looking for it, he had never had it before.

He doesn't wait until he thinks it through before playing, but plays when he finds a feeling, and plays until the feeling is clear.

So the two of them talked nonsensically for a long time, and then they roughly found a vague practice direction.

Fu Tiao continued to practice, and soon finished playing all the Chopin etudes, and began to look at other works.

However, while both of them were working hard towards the Chopin International Piano Competition, something happened on the NHK TV station.

NHK, the Japanese radio station, is the exclusive documentary producer of the Chopin International Piano Competition. In many cases, when the Chopin Academy, the organizing committee of the Chopin International Piano Competition, cannot do the publicity, NHK will promote it on their behalf.

Of course, as NHK is a TV station in Japan, they will naturally focus on Japanese players.

After the preliminaries of the Chopin International Piano Competition in April, NHK has accumulated a batch of very high-quality materials. They spent more than a month and nearly two months to produce a preview trailer.

Let’s look at the preliminaries of the Chopin International Piano Competition from the perspective of several players. At the same time, the recent status of many players is attached to help everyone understand the progress of the Chopin International Piano Competition.

It’s a warm-up for the main race.

It sounds like there is no problem, but... as NHK is from Japan, the main direction of promotion is Japan, so they will naturally show the situation of Japanese players in a more exaggerated way.

It is very normal to give all the players exaggerated nicknames.

Therefore, in the documentary, Kobayashi Aimi mentioned the title of Japanese Pianist.

Well, of course, you can also call her Piano Princess. After all, in Japan, Ji has the connotation of princess.

In this documentary, most of the players from Japan were put in front of the stage, they were interviewed many questions, and many scenes of them practicing were filmed with them.

Except for the Japanese piano girl Miss Kobayashi Aimi, who refused NHK to enter her piano room to film due to personal preferences, the other contestants basically have scenes of their own piano practice.

Without exception, all of them were selected when they were performing at their strongest, fully demonstrating the strength of all of them.

At the same time, they also found many other foreigners who agreed to be photographed and compared them with Japanese players.

Although the gap is not clearly stated, anyone with a slightly better ear can tell that the Japanese players seem to be stronger.

The Japanese side had already begun to show off their muscles before the game.

Although it does not have much impact on the game, no one knows whether there will be some players from other places who saw the strength of Japan and roughly calculated their own rankings in their minds, and felt that they had entered the second round.

There is no hope, what if we just give up the game?

At first, NHK's documentaries were disseminated in Dongying, and were soon moved to domestic video websites by some people, who added subtitles and made their own videos.

Jiang Ruijia is one of the few Vtubers at PiliPli who is doing the Chopin International Piano Competition and has a relatively large number of fans. Therefore, when PiliPili just released NHK's documentary about the Chopin International Piano Competition, her fan base exploded.

Countless people are surrounding her.

Lin Qingye: "@Piano Man, Huaguo Piano Girl, look! NHK's video has been posted. They edited the video from the previous qualifiers! There is also the latest information about the contestants!"

Stupid, idiot, don’t say things like this when doing that kind of thing: “Fuck, laugh to death, Kobayashi Aishi is the Japanese piano girl, piano man, you are the Chinese piano girl, right? We won’t call you piano guy anymore.

, why not just call you Piano Girl?"

Priscilla: "Piano what? Piano girl what? Say it again?"

Zixu: “No matter how many times I say it, I have to say it, let’s call the group leader Qin Ji!”

Kong Ye: "Okay, okay!"

Lin Qingye: "Huh? The piano man didn't break the anti-deletion and comment ban? @Piano Man, what are you doing? Didn't you just work on it for a while last night? You should be awake by now, right?"

Lin Qingye: "Get up, get up, Captain Qin, use your invincible Mad Duck Sword, and take us to watch the documentary Duck~@Piano Man"

Lin Qingye: "Where is the person? @Piano Man, piano man, get up quickly, or I will call you Piano Girl~"

[Lin Qingye was banned by the administrator for 10 minutes]

[Lin Qingye had three messages withdrawn by the administrator]

Jiang Ruijia looked at the group of people in the group playing around with a headache, but then took a look at the video she had just opened in her hand, her expression extremely serious.

She has watched the documentary once, and there are so many things in it that she would never be able to understand it after watching it once.

She thought for a while, sighed, and sent a message to the group.

Piano Man: "@All members, sign up, start broadcasting!"

After Jiang Ruijia confirmed that there were no problems with the live broadcast, she clicked on the video. A puppy appeared in the video. As the camera slowly opened, a girl wearing a white striped hospital gown was sitting on a bench in the park.

On the bed, slender fingers were hooked on the dog's chain, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

The sound of background interpretation also came slowly.

"Pianist Aimi Kobayashi."

"More than a month ago, Kobayashi-san stood on the world's most watched piano stage, the Chopin International Piano Competition preliminaries held in April 2015."
