If most people in the audience don't understand what "Today's soup is a bit salty" means, it doesn't matter. There is nothing wrong with it. They can understand this sentence as "Oh, D minor is a great composition."
'etc.
But solo, no one does not understand its meaning, especially in such a stage background - an empty stage with no band and only a piano.
This is solo.
After all, they are people who have seen big scenes. No one in the audience made a sound. Maybe they were thinking: let’s see what kind of solo this will be.
You must know that Rachmaninoff's Third Piano Concerto without an orchestra is still an "elephant work," but how can the performers without an orchestra bring out the grandeur of the work?
This is a very valuable question.
The listeners have different expectations and have made final preparations.
The performer also sat in front of the piano. On the piano under the desk lamp, the golden trademark of 'stein;sons' shone coldly.
Just like every time he sat on the stage, Qin Jian adjusted the piano bench to a comfortable position.
After sitting down, he slowly took off the watch on his left hand and placed it gently on the piano table.
When his hands reached the keyboard and he tried to straighten them, the audience's eyes moved to the big screen.
On the big screen, these are a pair of slender and somewhat beautiful big hands. Some people praise the black tattoo for ruining the overall beauty of these hands, while others praise it in their hearts.
But more people were amazed at the twelve white key pins that spread across the width of the hands the moment they opened it.
This is a breadth that many piano players envy.
Qin Jian didn't mean to show off, it was just a habit he had now, a kind of final relaxation.
He also hasn't played on the international stage for a long time.
However, the warm stage light quickly put him into a familiar state.
Exhaling slightly, his whole body tilted forward at a slight angle.
Then, his hands were in position in mid-air.
The performance seems to start at this moment.
But time seemed to freeze at the last second, and the hand in the air did not fall.
Many people hold their breath waiting for the first sound to sound, so that they can adjust their breathing according to the music. The rhythm of breathing will affect the listening effect.
But two seconds passed.
The stage was still silent, but the audience in the front row could vaguely see the figure in front of the piano moving his lips, as if he was humming something.
Yes, Qin Jian did not focus on the guidance this time, but in his case, the music actually started the moment he raised his hands.
His mouth was moving, and he hoped that the undulations of his humming bassoon and clarinet and the violin's bounce of his tongue in the cavity would not affect the audience.
The noise from the scene gathered in the sky above the hall and became the French horn melody in his mind.
"very good."
Qin Jian smiled, waiting for the final starting gun from the bass and timpani in the third measure.
"bang."
There was a soft sound from the corner of his mouth in time with the rhythm of his heartbeat, and his hands moved in mid-air.
On the second beat of the third measure, the piano plays.
First movement.
‘Allegro ma non tanto’
Not too fast allegro.
As soon as the music started, he steadily controlled the speed of his hands, because a not-too-fast Allegro was more difficult to control than an Allegro.
A gray two-handed minor third interval kicked off the solo.
It was a solo, and everyone could clearly hear that there was only one channel of the piano in their ears.
But it still makes people feel like the orchestra is on stage
This feeling is not surprising. Perhaps everyone has listened to it too much recently and can now bring out the accompaniment in their minds.
Of course, maybe they entered the music from the beginning with their hands frozen in the air.
In the previous section, the Qin keys were played with clean fingers, and the emotion of the music was conveyed with a smooth performance. It seemed that the audience focused all their attention on the sound of the piano because they did not really hear the orchestra.
Without the complicated and intense orchestra, the piano sound seems to be amplified several times, and every detail can be clearly heard.
People gradually realized that the first movement of La San had become different.
There is less heaviness and more indescribable taste.
"Is it easy? Or something else?"
The question on everyone's mind.
The piano's tone is bright and bold, expressing every note clearly and clearly.
This simple point has broken most people's inherent impression of pulling three.
One can't help but want to get closer and find out what's behind these differences.
The hands on the big screen continued to beat, and the bright piano sound continued to sing forward.
on the stage.
Qin Jian's expression was as indifferent as ever, but if anyone could notice the look in his eyes...
"He has entered his own musical world again."
In the corner of the stage, He Jing was stroking the buttons of her coat. She was looking at the stage with the same rapt expression.
...
'Among the Western music icons of the 20th century, Sergei Rachmaninov is a unique figure. He is far away from the mainstream and seems to be out of place, but he is deeply rooted in the world with his excellent piano skills and melody talent.
It is welcomed by the general public.'
'Due to the tragedy of the times, he spent the second half of his life far away from his homeland and wandering abroad, but he was deeply attached to his homeland.'
The above is just a general introduction and explanation.
But with this emotion and understanding, anyone who can play the Rachmaninov can claim to be able to play the Rachmaninov.
It is no longer just a few decades ago, but today, decades later, with the improvement of overall piano technology and the popularization of higher piano education around the world, there are already a large number of people who can play the most difficult piano song in history.
Concerto pianist.
Playing the third string is no longer just for pianists, nor is it a bragging rights for those who master it.
Perhaps La San should have retired from the altar of concerto long ago.
"Why can't we look at this piece with a normal mind?"
Maybe it's because it requires so much difficulty to play this piece.
Qin Jian is using his skillful finger skills to move the double tone. This is an extremely difficult passage.
But the resulting sound effects are also exciting, although the double tones during running don't sound intense enough.
But his extremely powerful skills have already amazed and praised most people.
only.
When the available words of praise have been exhausted, what is left of the technology itself?
"Music never needs any praise, and a qualified performer never needs to be recognized through technique."
This is a very simple truth. Is Rachmaninov’s starting point for composing music to get more people’s praise and recognition?
The answer is definitely not.
No one can predict what the real future will look like.
Just like people in that era of darkness and fire, no one could have expected that the artillery fire of the October Revolution of 1917 would completely destroy the Romanov dynasty in one fell swoop.
After that, like many intellectuals and artists of noble origin, Rachmaninov made the painful decision to leave his motherland and go into exile.
But before that, Lasan's work had already been played above the Red Square.
What's ridiculous is that too many self-righteous music critics have gotten the order of historical time wrong.
So that those superficial praises are more like casting a little dust on this work.
In response, Qin Jian used a minor chord representing melancholy to make a smiling expression.
This processing method seems to have subverted many people's understanding again, because there are ff marks of brass and percussion in the band accompaniment.
"So the piano should also be played as ff?"
But the piano score is also clearly written.
"This place is obviously a p."
As if with a shy sarcasm like Lach, Qin Jian began to play the cadenza.
He chose the first version of the score, the octave theme.
In just a moment, the stage became loud and intense.
