world number one pianist

Chapter 230 Breakthrough!

He Shen looked at Danyi who was sitting on the side, nodded slightly at him, and said.

"But teacher, it's almost there!"

"almost?"

But Yizheng looked at He Shen, and couldn't help being stunned for a moment, unable to react for a while.

He Shenzuo didn't need to mention anything himself, he could clearly know where his mistakes were and where he should develop.

This state lasted for so long, so long that Dan Yi almost forgot that he was a teacher.

If He Shen didn't speak, Dan Yi would almost think that he was here for a trip.

In He Shen's several games, he didn't need much help from him at all!

Playing enough means that he needs to arrange the order of performance of the works based on his own experience.

Occasionally, he may be required to analyze the situation of some opponents and find works that can target them.

For example, the opponent may have weaker scale movement, so we will add a little more works with more scale movement during the competition to target that player, so that the judges can notice the comparison of that player's scale movement. weak.

These things are actually not very useful in the early stage, because in many cases, you don't even know who the player you are playing in the game may be.

Therefore, Danyi really felt that he had spent the past few days with nothing to do, nothing to do, and he couldn't be more idle.

I wake up every morning to watch He Shen practice the piano, then go to listen to the competition when the competition is about to start, and come back to watch He Shen play the piano when the competition is over.

It's more interesting to say, he had seen two of He Shen's apprentices near the concert hall before, and they were standing at the entrance of the concert hall, chattering and not knowing what to say.

Of course, Danyi just saw it and didn't bother them. After all, he came here to listen to the competition, to hear about other players' personal styles and weaknesses.

Other than that, there is nothing else at all!
Now, being startled by He Shen's sudden opening, he couldn't help being confused for a while.

After that, he immediately understood He Shen's meaning.

He Shen, now we have reached the bottleneck, and we are only one step away from breaking the bottleneck!
And this bottleneck is probably what He Shen said, the promotion from specialization to master level!

This talent?

But Yi's eyes couldn't help but widen. He counted the time and felt that it wasn't too long since He Shen needed his help last time. Before that, He Shen was at the Haicheng Conservatory of Music and practiced the piano every day to strengthen his strength. When accumulating strength and preparing to break through the barrier, it seems that...

Just a month or two?

Unexpectedly, it has only been a long time, and He Shen has already accumulated enough power, and he can punch out at any time, hit this barrier, and smash it into pieces.

And the last condition for He Shen to break it up is...the angle from which other people think about music.

The corner of Dan Yi's mouth raised slightly, now, finally, it was his turn to make a move again!
Although I said that I haven't played Chopin for a long time, I am still okay with the things that should exist in Chopin's music.

In particular, like He Shen, he is moving in the direction of playing with a more Chopin feel.

Danyi nodded slightly, and asked, "Which one is the work?"

"Mazurka!"

He Shen took out the music score in front of him, handed it to Dan Yi, pointed to the content on it and said.

"Chopin's four mazurkas, opus number 24, serial numbers No1, No2, No3, No4, these four works."

"12 minutes, the actual playing time, I plan to control it to about 14 minutes, and the overall duration of my prelude is 35 minutes, and my duration has reached 50 minutes, the duration is just enough!"

These three mazurka works are the ones that He Shen intends to use in the third round of performances.

This was decided by them together, but Yi was a little surprised. He Shen's Mazurka should be the piece that He Shen is least good at playing Chopin's works. He didn't expect that he could even do these two works. Achieve such a result!
Dan Yi got up, took the Mazurka from He Shen's hand, stroked his chin, looked at the music score, and paced in the piano room. After a while, he asked He Shen.

"Tell me first, how do you understand these three Mazurkas by Chopin?"

"Exotic and innovative!"

He Shen nodded, leaning on the piano, turned around to look at the large French windows of the piano room, looked at the scenery outside the piano room, and said slowly.

"These works are all full of creators' innovations in music, that is, Chopin's innovations in Mazurka's understanding!"

"Mazurka is no longer an ordinary musical genre. In his hands, it has begun to change. He has a new understanding of Mazurka interpretation!"

"And this point, we can see it from his foreign land."

"I don't know if this is called a foreign land, or something else, I just feel that this is not like ordinary music from Poland!"

"So, I need to play a kind of performance that is full of exotic style and has a new feeling, and I need that kind of... crackling feeling!"

"Pika?" Danyi was stunned for a moment, and then instantly understood He Shen's thoughts, and couldn't help frowning in thought. After a while, he spoke slowly to He Shen.

"Okay, you continue first, then what? Then how?"

"And then that's it..."

He Shen turned to face the piano, put his hand on the piano, and played a short part of it at will.

The sound is very clear, and the timbre is very beautiful. Just by listening to it casually, you can hear the interpretation of the music.

It also feels very fried and has a sense of freshness.

but……

It's still a little short!

Everything is fine, but there is still a slight difference, and just like finding this slight flaw, the feeling of music will be different in an instant!
But Yi suddenly understood why, He Shen came to him at this time.

He Shen has already magnified everything he can do to the extreme!
All the feelings he wanted, all his understanding of music!
All of them have achieved the ultimate in his ideas.

However, there is only a tiny bit of difference, just a little bit of difference, and he only needs to grab this last bit, and he can break through.

It's a pity that He Shen couldn't find it.

He Shen looked at Danyi, and said to him.

"So, how should I interpret this place of mine? I'm missing my last breath as a whole!"

"..."

Danyi didn't speak, but picked up a pen from one side, looked at the content on it, and thought slowly.

After a while, Dan Yi spoke to He Shen.

"No, there is a problem!"

"there is a question?"

"Well, there is a question. Although the interpretation of this place has an exotic feeling, but look at the harmony of this place! Look at the harmony of this place, do you see anything?"

He Shen leaned closer and looked at the score in front of Danyi, especially the place where Danyi made the mark. After thinking for a moment, he hesitated.

"E-flat major, augmented third chords? There are some other rare scales? But the overall harmony trend is still the traditional harmony trend."

"Yes! This place uses augmented thirds! In order to emphasize the exotic harmony in the scale, it was specially taken out, augmented thirds interval!"

"This place should actually be interpreted as a local flavor, not an exotic one!"

"What is yours, Pika? Is it called this? The feeling of Pika may be right, but the overall direction is a little bit off."

"This is a Mazurka in G minor, Adagio, the second movement goes from G minor to E flat major, from grade one to grade six, this place is very interesting."

"The overall strange feeling, with all this, have you thought of anything?"

Dan Yi looked at He Shen, He Shen frowned, fumbled for his chin, stared fixedly at the music score in front of him, and shook his head slowly after a while.

"However, all of this doesn't make sense. This piece was presented to the Countess of Bell. If it plays with local characteristics..."

"The tallness of the nobility!"

But Yi shook his head and interrupted He Shen.

He quickly flipped through a few pages of the music score, and turned to the second piece at the back, which is the Mazurka in C major, Op24-2. This is a Mazurka work, and he pointed to this work and said.

"What did you see in this song? You have to know that Chopin's Mazurka was created in a whole set, and the whole is basically in the same atmosphere."

"So, we can't take the whole thing apart at all, we can try to think about it all together."

"What is this place? This place is in Lydia mode. The first section starts from the first C major and goes to the fourth grade of F major, but it doesn't feel like F major, but Lydia The feeling of tune!"

"Then, came to the second section, went to D-flat major, E-flat minor, still in the sixth grade of F major Lydia, and then began to transfer to fifth grade and fifth grade, and finally returned to C major."

"Music is changing, constantly changing, from the commonly used natural mode to the medieval mode, with the interpretation of Western European style in the middle."

"The third piece, the Mazurka in A-flat major, is still in three-segment form, and it still has the characteristics of a relatively small place as a whole, especially the decoration at the end, which is extraordinarily charming."

"The last one, Mazurka in B-flat minor, middle plate, complex trilogy form, first section in D-flat major, second section in B-flat minor, third section in D-flat major switched to B-flat minor, and this section , can be regarded as the essence of Op24!"

"The purest, country style! Many of the previous ones are still a little bit confused, and I feel that I can swing between country style and exotic style."

"However, when the fourth piece came out, the music came to an end, and it was finalized as a whole. This is pure country feeling."

"So, you can continue to interpret the top layer, the extremely pure exotic style, but the bottom layer, the foundation, you must interpret the local culture!"

"The two are not incompatible. You can think about it. This is my idea. You can learn from it."

Danyi completely ignored the meaning behind this piece of work, he just took it apart so simply, taking apart the harmony in the work and showing it to He Shen.

Tell He Shen why he thinks so.

When it comes to He Shen's level of contestants, there is no one absolutely correct answer. There are a hundred Hamlets for a hundred people.

Everyone interprets the master-level performance differently.

Even if they are all interpretations in the direction of Chopin, they are all different from each other.

This is why Danyi is only a suggestion, not a command.

Even before, Zhou Renguang, Mr. Zhou, only mentioned a few words to He Shen, not an order.

He Shen looked at the music score in front of him and fell into deep thought.

Music began to collide in his mind, and he was thinking about the feasibility of music.

Fingers, running on the piano from time to time, play some very special timbres.

And these timbres were quickly rejected by He Shen, looking for more suitable timbres.

The music is constantly higher, and the overall framework is being re-optimized.

And as time passed, He Shen's eyes gradually brightened.

He began to feel, the music inside him.

That, extremely pure feeling.

He Shen closed his eyes, let his mind emptied, and stopped thinking about the exotic and native places in the music.

He has been able to feel exactly that the feeling of the country appears in his own music.

So now, the next thing is to let the two develop freely.

He Shen's hand played slowly on the piano, not fast.

It can even be said to be extremely slow.

At a very, very slow speed, He Shen feels the slightest bit of music, and feels the most suitable development direction of music in his imagination.

In He Shen's thinking, the foreign land and the native land are gradually integrated, and they are no longer ordinary and independent.

The feeling of music, under He Shen's hands, became more and more beautiful.

Dan Yi stood aside, looking at He Shen with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Now, it is time for He Shen to express himself.

It's not right for me to be here now.

Dan Yi laughed dumbfounded, got up and pushed open the door of the piano room, and walked outside.

At this moment, the people outside were surrounding Rao Hao, encouraging him.

When everyone saw Danyi coming out of the piano room, they couldn't help being stunned, and then saluted Danyi slightly.

"Teacher Danyi, you...how did you come out? Teacher He?"

Sun Tong looked at Dan Yi and asked involuntarily.

Dan Yi looked at Sun Tong, shook his head slightly, pointed behind him, and said casually.

"Now He Shen is in an extraordinary time, he is looking for a way, looking for a way to break through."

"If he breaks through successfully, then he will have no opponent in this match!"

"After all, not everyone can show the strength close to that of a master in the third round!"

Dan Yi walked among the crowd, found a random place and sat down, just looked at the piano room where He Shen was, and didn't speak.

Everyone looked at Danyi, not knowing Danyi's thoughts at all, but since Danyi had already come and sat down, and was still sitting here without saying a word, it was hard for them to say anything.

He could only obediently follow Danyi and look towards the room of the piano room.

For a moment, the entire piano store seemed extremely quiet, only the sound of He Shen's piano came to everyone through the gap in the door.

Originally, everyone just thought that He Shen played well, and that's about it.

But soon, their expressions began to change.

He Shen's playing style is changing in an extremely subtle direction.

It is still the feeling of Chopin, it is still exactly the same as He Shen before, extremely pure, the feeling of Chopin.

But the core of it is slowly changing.

It's changed...better and better?
Music is beautiful, and it is music that is beautiful, and pianists need to interpret this beauty.

Music without beauty is not music!

The emotions in He Shen's music are still changing, but the beauty in the music is getting stronger and stronger.

It's the kind of feeling that makes people feel a little bit superior just by listening to it.

The feeling of feeling that the music is so beautiful as soon as you listen to it gradually flows out of He Shen's hands.

Finally, I don't know at a certain moment, when everyone didn't notice.

Music, changed...

The beauty in music, unconsciously, becomes as dazzling as the sun.

Everyone didn't feel anything at all, as if it should be so.

And when all of He Shen's works were finished, the crowd reacted.

They actually listened to He Shen practice the piano just now, and they were fascinated by it.

They looked at each other with shock in their eyes.

This is the Chopin International Piano Competition, fourth in the preliminaries, first in the first round, second in the second round, second in the total score, the master who scored against the version?

This strength...

This is just an ordinary mazurka, which can be played like this!
and!

A contestant who had heard of He Shen's last round of Mazurka suddenly woke up suddenly.

In the last round of performance, He Shen's mazurka was definitely not as good as it is now!
So that means...

Their faces changed, and they looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Could it be that He Shen...was releasing water last round?

Or……

Everyone immediately shook their heads and put that terrible thought behind them.

They would rather believe that He Shen let go of the water in the last round, deliberately restrained a little bit, and gave the players behind a chance, a chance for them to compete head-on with themselves.

They were also unwilling to believe that He Shen could make another breakthrough in such a short period of time under such a great pressure.

It is very, very good for others to finish playing seriously and play at their original level.

But how deep are you, breaking through directly in the middle of the game?what does this mean?
The co-authoring competition is the catalyst, you can't break through without the competition?

People are all compared.

They looked at He Shen's breakthrough now, and thought about themselves, and immediately wanted to slap themselves.

Why is it so hard to die, and want to have the idea of ​​​​how deep to compare with others?
Isn't this a clear blow to your self-confidence?How will you play the piano in the future?

Every time I make a little breakthrough in playing the piano, I suddenly think of He Shen.

Oh, if it was He Shen, he would have perfected this piece long ago.

Is this still playing?This self-confidence exploded directly!

Thinking of this, everyone's complexion became even worse.

While everyone was in self-doubt, He Shen pushed open the door of the piano room, looked at Dan Yi who was sitting opposite the piano room, and a group of passers-by whom he didn't know.Nodding slightly to Danyi, said softly.

"Breakthrough."

In the corner of He Shen's line of sight, a line of tiny handwriting is slowly dissipating.

And above, it says exactly...

[Congratulations to the host, Chopin Mazurka Op24, No. 1-No. 4, advanced, has been upgraded from Lv8 (specialization) to Lv9 (master)]
