There were two greatest master pianists in the 19th century, one was the Polish grand pianist Frederic Francois Chopin, and the other was the Hungarian grand pianist Franz Liszt.
.
These two are both great pianists who are famous in history. The works they wrote have a long-lasting influence and are still talked about and highly sought after by many musicians to this day.
The piece "The Bell" is one of Liszt's most representative works.
To play this piece well, you must have a level far beyond that of graduates from famous music schools.
In other words, you must pass the highest level ten in a solid manner before you have the basic skills to play it.
But in fact, it is almost impossible for non-professional pianists to play "The Bell" well.
It may be okay to follow along, but to the level where you can appreciate the music, it’s too far!
Among Liszt's many highly technical and difficult etudes, "The Bell" is not the most difficult piece, but it is not easy to play it well. Not only must you play it at high speed,
Make sure the sound is good, and you also need to play the emotion and momentum of the work.
There are many pianists in China who can play "The Bell", but there are only a few who can truly express emotion and momentum in the performance.
Among them, Lin Weiyin, who won first place in the Chopin International Piano Competition, became famous in the music industry in the early days with her performance video of the song.
In today's classical piano world, when mentioning "The Bell", one cannot fail to mention Lin Weiyin, as the two complement each other.
Many music school students, when practicing the piano piece "The Bell", will frequently watch the piano music collection released by Lin Weiyin, and then practice this piece with confidence, but in the end their self-confidence will be greatly affected.
There are also many people who are far away from Liszt's works.
Because it is very difficult to play well the octave jumps, vibrato and other techniques that frequently appear in works, let alone maintain the speed and graininess.
This requires very solid basic skills.
And if you want to express it as a piece of music for the world to appreciate, you need advanced skills and musical knowledge.
Therefore, when they heard the melody of "The Bell" played, not only the pianists at the scene exclaimed, but even Lin Weiyin on the second deck couldn't help but be surprised.
After listening carefully for a moment, Lin Weiyin was slightly moved.
Liao Yuan has a strong sense of rhythm and his fingering is gorgeous and gorgeous.
Not only can it perfectly interpret octave syllables, four- and five-finger vibratos, but also large jumps of multiple octaves or more, ring fingering, chromatic scales, etc.
Almost all the difficult skills in the original song are vividly displayed at this moment.
Although Liao Yuan was a little slow in some details when playing, this did not hinder the brilliance of this piano piece, which seemed to be fuller in terms of emotional tension.
I'm afraid Liszt himself couldn't help but express his admiration when he came.
But even though Liao Yuan's performance was perfect, in the eyes of real top players, Liao Yuan's performance was still a little short of a true master-level performance.
This kind of feeling may very well be the decisive factor that distinguishes the winner from the runner-up in a world-class piano competition.
Of course, this is just Lin Weiyin's personal opinion.
She is currently the top pianist of the younger generation in the domestic piano industry, and her requirements for her works are naturally more stringent than others. However, in the eyes of others, Liao Yuan has already faded away from mortal life and transformed into a saint!
After today, these two characters, Liao Yuan, will surely become an instant hit in the domestic piano industry!
"incredible……"
Yu Chengjiao exclaimed repeatedly.
The gains from this exchange meeting far exceeded his imagination. When Liao Yuan played the piece "Bell", his attention to detail made him realize it many times.
"Just the four- and five-finger vibrato is better than more than 90% of the pianists present, not to mention the four- and five-finger vibrato as well as multiple octave jumps!"
Gao Feiliu's eyes were full of shock: "My brother Yuan must be a man with a story!"
Zhang Chao was also extremely excited at this time. He did not expect that Liao Yuan's performance far exceeded everyone's imagination, but at the same time he was also a little confused: "Is the four-finger vibrato so strong? Can you wipe out 90% of the people at once?"
Gao Feiliu sneered and said: "It's really not difficult to do simple four- and five-finger vibrato, but try playing four-and-five-finger vibrato at high speed while keeping three fingers still on the keys? If your fingers don't cramp, I'll follow you."
Zhang Chao imitated four-finger vibrato with his right hand according to his imaginary state, but he soon gave up.
Even if the four or five fingers are forced to move, it is difficult to achieve a consistent vibrato speed.
Gao Feiliu's eyes were full of contempt: "The ligaments and muscles of the fourth finger are connected with the third and fifth fingers. Many people have difficulty doing it even if they practice more as children. Most of them change the fingering method and practice the third, fourth or third and fifth fingers.
Vibrato, you can see that my brother Yuan has been exposed to piano since he was a child..."
"He has indeed practiced piano since he was a child."
Zhang Chao said with emotion: "I didn't expect that his piano skills would be so strong! I thought he just inherited his father's legacy, had abnormal ability in composing, and his playing ability was at most the same as his father's. Unexpectedly, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead.
On the piano, he is even more perverted than his father!"
"Who is his father?" Gao Feiliu asked doubtfully.
Zhang Chao whispered something into Gao Feiliu's ear, and the latter was suddenly confused: "Liao Yuemin? Is he famous?"
"Uh... he's very famous in the entertainment industry."
When Zhang Chao heard this, he suddenly became sweaty.
He remembered that when Liao Yuemin retired, Gao Feiliu probably didn't even know how many black and white keys there were on the piano!
At this time, Liao Yuan's "Bell" had finished playing, and he stood up. Although his fingers were burning, he still had a relaxed smile on his face.
He is very happy.
There was thunderous applause, and some women even screamed in admiration.
Immediately afterwards, everyone looked at Meng Han.
This rare piano competition made the pianists at the scene excited. If they weren't inferior in skills, they might have become addicted to playing on stage.
Even the organizers, including the host, were dumbfounded and completely forgot that the time was already past eight o'clock.
But Meng Han obviously didn't forget it. He ignored the strange looks from others, raised his hand and looked at his watch, and said calmly: "It's already eight o'clock. What is the theme of this exchange meeting? Wei Zijun, can we make it public?"
Give in?
When many people saw this, they immediately booed.
Even the ladies were confused at this moment.
As an internationally renowned grand pianist, "The Bell" shouldn't be difficult for him, right? Why did he suddenly avoid playing?
Wei Zijun was the host of this exchange meeting. After Meng Han reminded him, he came back to his senses, quickly picked up the microphone, walked onto the stage, shook hands with Liao Yuan warmly, then turned around and treated everyone with gentlemanly courtesy.
Finally, he smiled and said: "Thank you Mr. Meng and Mr. Liao for their wonderful performances. Yes, now, I will officially announce the theme of tonight's exchange meeting!"
