world number one pianist

Chapter 235: Breaking the Family View!

He Shen looked at the piano in front of him, his eyes locked tightly.

Now, this is what I want to play, the last piece!
No, perhaps it should be said, the last 24 works!

The last 24, Chopin Preludes!

You only need to play all of these, then your third round will be completely over.

Moreover, his 24 piano preludes by Chopin have all reached the level of Lv10!
Basically, it can already be regarded as being well-prepared!

He Shen took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began to gradually integrate his emotions with the emotions of the music.

Think about the music contained in the beginning of the music.

Chopin, Chopin...

First Piano Prelude in C major, Op. 28-1.

Inside is the longing for Bach.

Only those who have really studied Bach seriously can write such works.

But in this work, there should be no feeling of Bach, because this work is not a work written by Bach.

What should be possessed in this Chopin's first prelude is the modernity that originated from Bach but surpassed Bach.

Longing, enthusiasm, fierceness, sickness, and hurried nature are all modern, and the ever-changing tone is also modern!
therefore……

He Shen raised his hand, placed it on the piano keyboard, took a deep breath, and pressed down lightly.

hum...

The sound of the piano came out of the keyboard in an instant.

Emotions are incomparably full.

The warm-up given to He Shen by the previous four piano mazurkas made He Shen's interpretation of Chopin more in place at this time.

Everyone's eyes lit up instantly.

This feeling is very good!

No, it can't even be described as very good.

this feeling...

It should be regarded as being extremely perfect!

With this feeling, they could almost see a vague figure sitting in front of the piano, looking longingly at the Bach score in front of them, and then earnestly interpreting the music according to Bach's ideas.

It's like looking forward to watching the gods descend!

They are completely visible!
That's it, a very special feeling.

Everyone's emotions were slightly exaggerated. They looked at He Shen with complicated expressions, and almost lost their ability to speak!
This is just the first work, this is the first work!

This is only the first of Chopin's preludes!
In this first song, He Shen can interpret this extremely perfect feeling.

This extremely powerful strength...

Everyone really had no way to describe this feeling, they could only look at He Shen's hands, running quickly on the piano.

Incomparably light and flexible, it interprets the feeling that music should have here.

"Is this He Shen's true strength?"

Among the crowd, some people began to have a little dry mouth.

He Shen's strength really far surpassed all of them's imagination for music.

Looking at He Shen now, they only felt a little bit.

That is……

He Shen's strength is really strong!

So powerful, they couldn't even imagine that there is such a person who can be so powerful as most of Chopin's works.

The music, in He Shen's hands, is extremely submissive, just so relaxed and freehand.

Very, very easy.

Just like music, it should be that simple.

Wait, no!This feeling is...

The people who were originally relaxed suddenly felt something was wrong, their eyes widened suddenly, and they glanced at each other with a hint of shock in their eyes.

A word appeared in their hearts together.

Lightweight!

Yes, it's easy.

This set of works should be very difficult to interpret, but He Shen can interpret it with such a relaxed attitude.

This feeling even made them a little confused.

They even feel that they can interpret works like this so easily.

However, their reason told them that they couldn't do it.

This set of works is not a particularly simple set of works, but a very, very difficult set of works.

When interpreting these works, their brains need to think about many things.

In fact, they don't have much ability to interpret works like this.

"This, is He Shen..."

Everyone glanced at each other and sighed together.

From various places in the distance, the players who came to watch the battle couldn't help but let out a little sigh.

He Shen's interpretation is really too strong.

Do they really have a chance to compete head-on with He Shen?

This is only the first of Chopin's Piano Preludes!He can interpret it so well.

What about the back?
Sitting in the Maple Leaf camp, Bruce Liu and Liu Yu were also looking at He Shen very seriously.

Now it's just the first song, so what's next?How can you interpret it later?
The difficulty of Chopin's piano prelude does not lie in the first piece, not in the beginning.

Rather, it lies in the whole, 24 works, each of which has a completely different feeling.

This is the Chopin Piano Prelude, the biggest difficulty!

You, can you do it?
Liu Yu didn't know, and he didn't want to know.

After all, the two are in a state of complete opposition, and he also wants to win the championship!

Therefore, he did not hope that his opponent could be so strong.

So strong that he had a thought that he couldn't resist.

He looked at He Shen, couldn't help but rubbed the center of his brows, bowed his body forward, put his hands on his thighs, and looked at He Shen very seriously.

Waiting for He Shen's interpretation later.

Looking forward to He Shen's mistakes and giving him a slight chance.

The same is true of Fan Tian Gongping, but his eyes are not on He Shen's deep, his eyes are on the distance, where the players enter the field.

He seemed to be able to see Kobayashi Aishi's expression behind the stage through the extremely thick soundproof wall.

He felt that Kobayashi Aishi might be in trouble.

He Shen was in front of her, playing Chopin's piano prelude, and he could interpret it so well.

Then, standing behind He Shen, can she withstand the pressure He Shen puts on her?
Thinking of this place, Soda Kohei couldn't help but sighed, and looked away.

If it was me, seeing that He Shen can actually interpret such a work, I should have collapsed by now.

Not to mention standing on the stage and confronting He Shen head-on.

It can be regarded as good if it can be played completely.

Sure enough, Kobayashi Aishi really is Kobayashi Aishi, who has experienced the pressure of Xiao Sai twice, but it is different.

such a pity……

It's a pity that He Shen in front is too strong!
Soda Kohei shook his head involuntarily, and leaned his body towards the back of the seat, embracing his hands, with a relaxed expression on his face.

He was too lazy to think so much, thinking about how to confront He Shen head-on.

What he thinks now is to enjoy the music well.

After all, He Shen played so well, if he didn't appreciate it, what would he do?

He Shen didn't know the thoughts of other people around him, he just sat quietly on the piano bench, in front of the piano, explaining his own understanding of music.

After practicing music for so long, I kept learning from Chopin, thinking about Chopin's logic of music, and thus gained an understanding of music.

These things are not only passed on to him by Chopin, but also many, many works obtained through his own accumulation.

Therefore, He Shen has practiced these works for countless times.

His understanding of these works is almost going deep into his bones.

After all, there is no performer who can really take lessons with Chopin, and then follow the wisdom of modern people to completely disassemble Chopin's music.

Maybe Chopin still had some sense of music at that time, and he couldn't say it, but he just thought that such an interpretation might be better.

But as a modern person, He Shen has nearly a hundred years of research on Chopin by countless people, and the research results obtained.

He can know very clearly why this place needs to be interpreted in this way.

These things are all within the scope of He Shen's knowledge reserve.

This is also where He Shen interprets Chopin with the greatest confidence!
therefore……

After He Shen played the weakest arpeggio at the end of the first section, he raised his hand and the music slowly dissipated.

Afterwards, He Shen took a deep breath.

Chopin's Second Piano Prelude!

A minor, Piano Prelude, Op. 28-2!

Adagio, 2/2 time, extremely melancholy chords.

Just like Chopin!
When the voice came out, the expressions of the people who were originally relatively relaxed changed slightly in an instant.

The flow of the music... changed!
It's no longer relaxed and joyful, it's no longer poetic, and now it's...extremely painful!

Desperate, nerve-wracking music!
The tonality of music is constantly changing, changing every moment.

The music as a whole is constantly dissociated, giving people a very strong sense of dissociation.

People can't find where they belong, and they can't find the direction to land.

This kind of emptiness instantly caused everyone to feel extremely anxious.

Liu Yu, who was sitting in the audience seats, changed his expression again.

He Shen's interpretation of music has become very thorough.

He has successfully interpreted the second work!

So……

He looked at He Shen and swallowed involuntarily.

What about the third one?

He Shen raised his hand, his mood changed again, and then he pressed it down slowly.

Piano Prelude in G major, Op. 28-3!

Active, 4/4 beat...

The prelude to the left hand slowly kicked off, interpreting this prelude with an extremely pure Baiqiguo style.

Then, after the end of the two measures, the extremely fast sixteenth note accompaniment from the left hand sounded suddenly.

The right hand, under the rapid music of the left hand, began to interpret an extremely bleak melody.

Two hands, two completely different feelings!
The second phrase expanded rapidly, and the sound pattern of the left and right hands began to approach the same.

In the end, it disappeared into the treble part like a cloud.

Then, in a state of great regret, two chords were left behind.

The music disappears, then starts again in an instant!
Piano Prelude in E minor, Op. 28-4!

The wide board, the double tone of the treble part is the motive, and the accompaniment of chords constantly strengthens the mood of the music. The fast running of the chromatic scale makes the extremely melancholy mood in the music more intense!
Piano Prelude in D major, Op. 28-5!

Very allegro, gorgeous motives run through the whole song, an extremely gorgeous feeling!

Piano Prelude in B minor, Op. 28-6!

Miserable rainy night, the most famous raindrop in Chopin's piano preludes!

Everyone listened to this song Raindrop, and their inner emotions were gradually infected by He Shen.

They even felt that they were in the lake right now, and the biting cold water kept hitting their bodies.

This extremely sad mood caused countless audiences to visibly fluctuate...

Seventh song...

eighth song...

Ninth song...

……

No.15, piano prelude in D-flat major.Incomparably stretched.

It was named "Two Drops"!
In front of everyone, it seems that they can see the gloomy cloister and prayers of the Valdemosa Monastery in Palma, the capital of Mallorca, as if they saw the ranks of monks carrying the remains of their companions to rest in the other world in the middle of the night.

This gloomy mood aroused a trace of uneasiness in everyone's hearts, and made everyone look at He Shen with more complicated expressions.

Everything is very, very perfect!

No problems at all.

Everyone is too lazy to find He Shen's question now.

They now feel that He Shen's piece, Chopin's Piano Prelude, has basically reached the peak of this competition.

The emotion of every passage and every prelude is extremely full.

There is no slightest mistake!
In He Shen's hands, the music seemed docile and obedient, completely obeying He Shen's command.

24 piano preludes, corresponding to the 24 keys of the piano.

The feeling these 24 tones bring to the audience is extremely perfect.

In each tonality, the feeling he should have is completely different under He Shen's interpretation.

24 songs, completely different feelings, this kind of feeling makes everyone even look forward to what kind of feeling will be produced in the next song.

How deep are they looking forward to, what kind of interpretation can they use to interpret the unique feeling in music.

He Shen, did not disappoint anyone!

He Shen's interpretation of music is extremely good!
Every place is particularly in place, and it even makes people feel that it is not He Shen who is playing the piano now.

But Chopin himself!

Liu Yu looked at He Shen and He Shen's interpretation of the music, and couldn't help but sighed.

He Shen's strength is so strong that he doesn't even know what to say.

Especially this complete set of preludes by Chopin.

In the Chopin International Piano Competition, very few people are willing to play Chopin's piano preludes.

After all, this thing is too difficult!
It's even easy to get it wrong.

Among them, the tonality of 24 also requires a very high level of control over emotional changes.

Everything must reflect that the performer has a very deep understanding of music and Chopin.

As for the Chopin International Piano Competition, the biggest key point is not to make mistakes.

Never make a mistake.

Adding Chopin's complete set of piano preludes is a very, very error-prone project.

Therefore, no one is willing to choose such a set of works to embarrass themselves.

It is precisely because of this that the emotions in the eyes of everyone watching He Shen's interpretation of the music became more complicated.

Such a work that is difficult to avoid problems, He Shen can still play it without any problems.

This level of interpretation, this level of understanding of music!
Everyone swallowed involuntarily, not knowing what to say for a while.

In their view, He Shen's entry into the next round and the final is already a certainty, and the next step is to see how many points He Shen can get.

At this moment, Deng Songshan, who was sitting on the judge's seat, became extremely gloomy.

He Shen's powerful strength made him involuntarily shocked.

He previously thought that He Shen might be a pure player who could only play Chopin.

Therefore, he disliked He Shen very much.

But now, his views have changed.

He Shen played, really, so perfect!
This is Chopin's Piano Prelude.

He Shen dares to play works that those who have their own style dare not perform.

Moreover, the interpretation of every emotional change is very well controlled, and there is no trace of making people feel that the drama is out of place.

As if, this place should play like this.

Playing this place like this is the expression Chopin wanted to express when he wrote this work.

These things were in front of Deng Songshan, so he didn't know what to say for a while.

He could only look at He Shen on the stage, and sighed slowly.

He... surrendered!

He had to admit that He Shen might really be that kind of player who played whatever he looked like.

It's not the kind of player who can only play Chopin.

In Chopin's piano preludes, there are many places that don't seem to be written by Chopin, and He Shen can interpret them very well.

Let people find the rationality of logic.

Deng Songshan is not sure about these things, whether he can do them.

After all, this thing is really too difficult.

Also, my age may really be too big...

Deng Songshan glanced at his withered hands, then at Argerich who was sitting aside, and many other judges.

In the end, he slowly but seriously nodded slightly to everyone.

Some of the judges who were hard-line personal style just like Deng Songshan couldn't help being stunned, looking at Deng Songshan, his eyes were full of disbelief.

Deng Songshan, he actually... gave up his personal style?

He actually felt that He Shen's interpretation of music had surpassed the struggle between the two factions?

This……

They looked at Deng Songshan, feeling a little unbelievable.

However, looking at He Shen's interpretation of music, they seemed to feel this thing again, as if it should be like this.

He Shen's interpretation of Chopin's piano prelude is really good.

very very good.

So good that they didn't know what to say for a while.

Although He Shen's interpretation of music contains many, many things that are Chopinized, I don't feel much of He Shen's own feeling in it.

but……

It has to be said that He Shen's interpretation has reached the point, making them forget the struggle between the two styles.

After everyone hesitated for a moment, most of them finally wrote down a score of 24 points on the score.

A small number of people wrote down 25 points.

Without exception!

And He Shen, also at this moment, pressed out the last few notes vigorously.

Music exploded in the entire concert hall in an instant.

Then, it slowly dissipated.

He Shen stood up from his seat and looked at the people around him. He seldom smiled at first, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, the applause of the crowd suddenly resounded.

Like thunder!
The entire concert hall seemed to be shaking!
Bravo's voice resounded everywhere in the concert hall.

There was also the stomping sound that everyone felt that their hands were not clapping loudly enough.

Almost lifted the roof of the concert hall.

As a welcome, the emergence of a new champion!
