On August 15, Qin Jian’s name became a hot search topic in China for the first time.
There is no operation or topic creation, it is simply the topic traffic brought by the comments of the four major international newspapers.
Although the vast majority of netizens in China do not understand piano, let alone playing the piano, the fact that a compatriot who plays the piano is praised by many foreign media is very surprising to them.
With the help of the power of the Internet, Qin Jian's personal information, resume, photos, videos, and game videos were all scooped up by enthusiastic netizens in the circle.
Only then did everyone realize that this was not the first time that this low-key compatriot had brought glory to the country.
But when netizens eagerly wanted to know more about Qin Jian, they found nothing.
The other party doesn't seem to have a brokerage company, or even a Weibo certification.
There is only one piece of information that I am currently studying in the Music Department of Huaguo Conservatory of Music in 2014, and there is also an on-campus club that I created.
For a while.
Handsome, talented, Buddhist, piano poet, opera conductor, facially paralyzed cutie, etc., a series of labels were labeled on Qin Jian.
Although Qin Jian’s popularity was mainly brought about by the publication of the four major newspapers.
But no matter what, compared to that time in the Chopin qualifying competition - this time Qin Jian's name has already broken through the circle.
Regardless of whether he broke the circle or not, the enthusiasm from Qin Jian's personal social circle almost overwhelmed him.
Fortunately, it came from his family. He Jing just asked him not to be disturbed by outside noises and to prepare for the next Chopin Competition with peace of mind.
But the repeated phone calls from his friends, classmates, and club members made him realize what it was like to feel powerless.
He felt that it was just a concert where a substitute came on, and there was really no need to exaggerate it.
But slowly, he got used to it.
Especially the fat man's words: "Brother, do you need an agent?"
...
As for the evaluation of the four major newspapers and periodicals, Qin Jian also has his own opinions.
In the four major newspapers and periodicals, Hope's comments seemed to him to be a bit exaggerated, but Qin Jian was grateful to the commentator in his heart.
Although the New York Times gave him two stars, he was a little annoyed, but considering that they had only given one star to Pollini's first album, he didn't have any special feelings.
As for the reviews of the two German newspapers, he did not comment on the Mirror. After all, this is the music world. Hope can praise himself to the sky by stepping on Adams, and Philip can also use the same method to flatter himself. There is no problem.
.
The key point is Walker's article. Almost everyone in the industry can see that Baudelaire extended an olive branch to Qin Jian on behalf of the German Steinway Company.
And Qin Jian knew that this was not the first time.
Now there is more than a month until the Chopin competition, and the problem that will inevitably be faced then is to choose a piano again.
The issue of re-selecting a piano is a big one.
And it is an issue that has been explored in depth.
After more than two months of clavichord practice, it is said that Yi Qin Jian has almost instinctively integrated his own key-touching methods and habits.
Previously, he had a clear distinction between different models of pianos.
For example, he determined that the timbre of the Steinway must be thicker than that of the Yamaha, the timbre unity of the Yamaha must be greater than that of Fazioli, the texture of Fazioli must be purer than that of Kawa, and the touch sensitivity of Kawa must be greater than that of the Steinway.
If modern pianos always provide players with increasingly accessible technical conveniences and timbre choices, then fortepianos present all their pros and cons in front of players from the very beginning.
And each of them is different.
If you want to play the fortepiano, you must put away your ideas about modern pianos and adapt to the inherent characteristics of the fortepiano.
This is a bit contrary to the times, so few pianists are willing to devote themselves to the practice of clavichord.
But if a modern piano player is willing to embark on the road of retro, temporarily forget to pursue the ultimate expression of the piano, calm down and look back.
Maybe learning how to play the fortepiano will become a very meaningful thing.
After two months, Qin Jian felt deeply.
His deepest feeling is that he has learned to rethink the sound of the piano. In the past, he did whatever he wanted on a modern piano. After being polished by these two months of fortepiano practice, Qin Jian learned to restrain himself.
This convergence is his harvest, and behind it is his improvement to more refined keyboard control.
Now he can find the most suitable playing method on a modern piano.
This pull-up is a good test. On the new 274, it is almost omnipotent and can reasonably utilize the characteristics of the piano.
He was convinced that if he replaced his concert piano with a CF7 that day, he would be able to produce effects that were almost the same as those of a Steinway.
He also discussed this issue with Liao Linjun after the concert. He asked Liao Linjun whether he had originally intended to establish a clear concept of touch on the fortepiano with a single sound. The other party's answer was: "That's right."
"Whether it's string instruments or keyboard and percussion, as a player, you must fully understand the characteristics of the instrument at hand."
"The more you know about the instrument in your hand, the closer you will be to the music."
Liao Linjun's answer was just like the four-stage question she left for Qin Jian at the beginning. In the end, no matter whose voice it was, the voice would still return to the performer's finger.
The test this time was a monthly exam paper she gave to Liao Linjun.
Liao Linjun was also very satisfied with this answer, but new questions arose with it.
After understanding the profound meaning of touch keys, it seemed that he still had two choices before him.
Cf7 or 274s.
And in his opinion, the importance of this issue is no less important than the issue of choosing one of the two final tracks.
Moreover, his decision seemed to be receiving faint attention from the outside world. Qin Jian felt that this might be an illusion.
But there is nothing I can do, because during this period of time, everyone has forced him to feel like a public figure.
Moreover, later, after Qin Jian quietly listened to the three-part match at the beach, he gave an evaluation that he felt was very pertinent.
"You're really good at playing it."
...
After a hot and impetuous half month, the midsummer in Bergen has come to the end of August.
As the enthusiasm subsided, Qin Jian's life gradually returned to its previous state.
Get up early on time every day to practice piano, take lessons from old Assad and the old bartender, and start practicing the final pieces according to Liao Linjun's pace.
In the evening, he would wander around the beach, and sometimes he would meet Ido. When he met each other, he would take the initiative to chat with him. Under normal circumstances, Ido would also say something to him intermittently, although the two of them were very interested in each other.
Can't understand what the other person is saying.
When he returns to the cabin in the evening, he will continue to translate documents, and then there will be private time with Xiaopang Duan.
Since Duan Hong returned to France, the humidity between Qin and Duan has become more obvious.
