world number one pianist

Chapter 252 The Fruit Bearing in the Precipitation
"How? My Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. [-]?"

He Shen got off his seat, and Zhao Zitong also got up from the side piano panting.

He Shen's piano performance did not use a band, but a pair of pianos.

Zhao Zitong is in charge of the band, and He Shen is in charge of the music as a whole.

Although Zhao Zitong's playing is relatively average, He Shen's playing is good!

The overall brilliance of his piano theme directly concealed Zhao Zitong's mistakes, and even led Zhao Zitong to play many particularly beautiful passages.

It is precisely because of this that He Shen has the confidence to look at the people in front of him and speak to them.

"Although there is no band, just the performance of two pianos, which is not perfect, but what do you think of my performance?"

Off the stage, everyone was silent.

Students of the piano department of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Music, one of them counts as one, and no one is willing to make eye contact with He Shen.

He Shen didn't come here to play in the pavilion, he was just reporting on performances normally.

About a few months ago, He Shen took a little girl to the Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Music, found their professor, and said that he would study with him for a while.

When this was a very common thing, everyone didn't pay much attention to He Shen.

After all, as the top music academy in Xiongguo, the number of people who come to their professors to study every year is really countless.

Among these people, how many can be admitted to Chai Yuan?
Therefore, everyone didn't care at all.

But soon, just when everyone thought this was just an ordinary episode, they suddenly discovered something was wrong.

This newcomer did not hide in the professor's room, afraid to study with others.

He started studying as an ordinary student at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory!
In addition to him, the little girl next to him also became a student of Chaiyuan along with him.

This, in fact, is not bad, after all, although there are few people who enter the middle school every year, it is not impossible.

Maybe this person just didn't know where he came from. What about the unlucky guy who missed the enrollment time before and could only enroll in the middle?

However, the next scene made them dumbfounded.

The foundation of the person who came here is simply good as hell!
They have never seen a student with such a good foundation!

That's the kind, if the professor is not around, you can ask him about the piano!

Even sometimes, the music he speaks is a little better than their professor.

If He Shen didn't know Xiong Guoyu and could only speak a little ordinary English, they would even think that He Shen might be a top professor at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Music!
This is simply invincible!
It's like the feeling of entering the novice village with a full-level tuba!
By some coincidence, they even saw He Shen teaching the professor!

He Shen stood in front of the professor and told something about Chopin.

From time to time, I also put my hands on the piano for demonstrations.

They thought it was the professor teaching He Shen.

But if you listen carefully, something is completely wrong!
The Chopin played by He Shen is so perfect that they can't believe that there is such a Chopin in the Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Music?

And the professor also didn't answer any of He Shen's questions. On the contrary, he kept asking He Shen questions, asking He Shen some details about Chopin's music in a very humble manner.

Even the little girl next to him, although she is not as good at playing as the professor, can be regarded as the top student among them, and she has the height.

Therefore, when their group of students saw this scene, they were numb.

They couldn't believe that such a powerful person, like them, was a student of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Music?

How can such a person be a student?Such a person should be a teacher directly, right?
This is outrageous too!

Even more outrageous is another...

The Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. [-] in front of them was played like this. He Shen didn't spend a few months playing it like this.

He was completely, and in less than a week, he brought Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. [-] to the state in front of them.

And why do they know so clearly?

Because, they are looking at He Shen, starting from recognizing the sound of Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto, slowly, slowly, bit by bit to improve their own level.

On the first day, there was no mistake in any detail.

The next day, I started thinking about musical things.

On the third day, begin to sculpt your overall mood.

On the fourth day, start putting everything together.

On the fifth day, simulate the ensemble with the band.

On the sixth day, they started to play, appeared in front of them, and gave a report performance.

Everything, they can all see, without any concealment.

Everyone looked at He Shen, not knowing what to say for a while.

Obviously everyone is practicing the piano together, why are you so good?

They didn't even say that He Shen came here to show off his qualifications to play in the gymnasium!
After all, He Shen didn't just come to the Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Music to show off.

He really came to study.

What he came here to learn was the purest Russian school piano teaching method and the Russian school piano performance method.

Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Music and St. Petersburg Conservatory of Music, these two conservatories belong to the top conservatories in Xiong.

And one of the world's three major piano schools, the Russian school, came out of this place.

In the Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Music, He Shen not only learned the performance methods of the Russian school, but also learned the interpretation methods of many composers of the Russian school.

A not particularly esoteric interpretation.

Under the guidance of the professor of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Music, He Shen can clearly feel the thoughts of all Russian school composers when interpreting music.

This kind of thinking is equivalent to the safest way of thinking.

If there are 100 points for a pianist's perfect interpretation method, if he interprets it in this way, he can get a maximum score of 80 points.

Even if you are particularly poor, you can still get a passing score of 60 points!
After all, if you want to achieve full marks, you need to combine the composer's own thinking about music and everything he experienced when creating music.

If you use the system carried by He Shen to look at it.

The music of the Russian school at the end of the Romantic period.

Under the guidance of the professor of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Music, He Shen has almost reached the level of Lv7!
You only need to practice more, and you can reach the level of Lv8 or even Lv9 soon.

It's the so-called master class.

He Shen looked at the professor in front of him with searching eyes, waiting for his evaluation of himself.

But the master didn't look at He Shen, he just looked at the piano beside He Shen, and this very large concert hall, and sighed slowly.

"He, it would be great if you were a student of our academy!"

"I'm already a student of your academy." He Shen didn't take it seriously, and replied casually.

The professor glanced at He Shen with deep meaning, and shook his head slightly: "No, you know that's not what I meant, but it doesn't matter."

"He, your performance is very good. I can't believe it. This is the performance of the concerto that you can achieve in less than a month!"

"Also, this level is still reached without the perfect band accompaniment."

"If, if you can play this Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. [-] with our orchestra, I have no way to imagine how powerful you can be!"

"Your foundation is too solid!"

"Your Chopin is the most powerful Chopin among all the young people I have seen. Not only young people, but even many famous masters, their Chopin may not be as strong as yours!"

"Also, your Chopin is not pure, there are only a few powerful Chopins..."

"I've never seen someone who can perform all of Chopin's works to your current level!"

"Simply, it's too scary to imagine!"

"Your other works, such as Brahms, Bach, and Beethoven, all have a lot of foundations."

"All of your works have reached a particularly proficient level, so proficient that I can't find any loopholes at all!"

"What you lack in these works now is probably your personal style."

"And your works of the Russian school, such as the works of Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, and Stryabin that we have learned recently, you have laid down all these works in a short period of time. A very solid foundation."

"You have such a solid foundation, such a stable foundation, I have no way to imagine what kind of level you can reach in the future!"

"Especially, this is the case when you have won the Chopin International Piano Competition..."

When talking about this place, the professor's eyes became deeper. He looked at He Shen, and no one knew what he was thinking.

When the other people around heard the winner of the Chopin International Piano Competition, they were all stunned, and immediately started whispering to each other.

"Wait, this person is the champion of the Chopin International Piano Competition?"

"I haven't heard him say it? If he is the champion of the Chopin International Piano Competition, why didn't he tell other people?"

"Fuck, I've been thinking about competing with the champion of the Chopin International Piano Competition? What am I thinking?"

"No wonder he plays Chopin so well, he is actually the champion of Chopin International Piano Competition."

"Let's think about it. I remember that the champion of the last Chopin International Piano Competition was named He Shen. It seems that he is really a Chinese?"

"Huh? Isn't this all right? Huaguo? The champion of the Chopin International Piano Competition? The Chopin that the professor has praised so far!"

"It's strange. According to common sense, the champion of the Chopin International Piano Competition should start preparing for music activities around the world. Why hasn't he moved?"

"Maybe...precipitation? Precipitation from the Chopin International Piano Competition?"

"I don't know, does it take so long for a game to settle?"

"Sure enough, this is the difference between us mortals and other great gods. We start the next game after one game, and the other great god dares to let himself settle when his reputation is hot! This kind of courage is not ours at all. Comparable."

"..."

The murmurs of the crowd did not affect He Shen and the professor in front of him at all.

He Shen looked at the professor, smiled slightly, and shook his head.

"The champion of the Chopin International Piano Competition is just a simple ticket, a ticket that allows me to enter the world stage."

"Indeed, this is just a ticket. Many people take this championship too seriously."

The professor shook his head, pretending to be casual, and asked casually, "By the way, after the Chopin International Piano Competition, which brokerage company did you sign with?"

"DG, Deutsche Grammophon."

He Shen replied without any hesitation.

The professor's pupils couldn't help but widen again. He looked at He Shen in disbelief, then sighed and shook his head helplessly.

"Amazing, really amazing!"

"According to common sense, when Deutsche Grammophon sends you an invitation letter, Universal should also send you an invitation letter."

"After all, Universal, as the parent company of Deutsche Grammophon, has complete control. Normally, they should sign a contract with Universal, and then Universal will let Deutsche Grammophon promote it for you and release a personal record for you."

"Unexpectedly, you actually signed a contract with Deutsche Grammophon instead of Universal!"

"Maybe, and only people like you will choose this way."

The professor looked at He Shen, and after a moment of silence, he nodded slightly at He Shen, returning the topic to He Shen's previous question.

"He, your Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. [-] has reached a very good level. Now your foundation has been laid very solidly. As long as you find your own direction, you can directly One step closer."

"For you, Tchaikovsky's works don't have too many difficulties. You can continue to hone them in the future, so that you can understand more."

"I am very much looking forward to the day when you can represent the Russian school of music and stand up!"

After all, the professor got up and applauded He Shen very vigorously.

When other students around saw the professor stand up, they immediately followed the professor and applauded He Shen non-stop, thanking He Shen for his performance.

After all, He Shen's performance was too deep in their minds.

No matter how much you don't like He Shen, you still have to applaud, and there is no mistake in the music.

He Shen put his eyes on the professor who kept applauding in front of him, just bowed slightly, thanked the professor for his encouragement, and said nothing.

After the applause subsided for a while, He Shen turned around and left the stage, walking towards the outside of the auditorium.

And Zhao Zitong immediately followed He Shen closely, fearing that he would get lost.

The reason is simple, her foreign language level is really not good.

The language certificates she submitted when she entered the Berlin University of the Arts all passed with a very low score.

This result is definitely not excellent.

Zhao Zitong followed behind He Shen, turned his head and glanced at the professor who was teaching other students, pursed his lips, and whispered to He Shen.

"Hey, brother, did you just leave? That old man didn't teach you anything special at all!"

He Shen stopped, and Zhao Zitong almost bumped into He Shen's body.

He Shen looked at Zhao Zitong behind him, was silent for a moment, and said slowly.

"Call the teacher."

"Why? You are no longer my teacher! Besides, you are studying at the Berlin University of the Arts with the same professor as me, but you are a graduate student and I am an undergraduate, so we can be regarded as brothers and sisters of the same school! How can I call you teacher?"

Zhao Zitong He Shen said firmly.

She was emphasizing strongly that she was no longer a student of He Shen, and she kept signaling to He Shen.

She is no longer He Shen's disciple or student.

Between the two of them, there is only an ordinary brother-sister relationship!
pity……

He Shen didn't understand Zhao Zitong's hint at all.

He Shen just frowned and glanced at Zhao Zitong, then turned around and continued walking towards the distance.

As he walked, he said casually.

"Our professor didn't give you a class. I was in charge of almost all your classes. To be precise, you should really call me a teacher."

"But it's fine if you don't want to call."

"As for the question you just said, that professor didn't teach me about the core things in Tchaikovsky's music. This is actually quite normal!"

"After all, the stage I am in now is not the so-called promotion stage."

"The stage I am in now is just a stage of precipitation, which will precipitate my overall piano level, so that I can have more time to think and feel, everything about music!"

"At this stage, the most important thing is to increase my own thinking about music, my thoughts about music, and the breadth of music, rather than blindly elevating it."

"After all, it's only at this time that I have the opportunity to think about what music really means to me..."

He Shen stopped and stood in the garden near the Tchaikovsky Conservatory.

This garden is not actually the garden of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Music. This place is actually a small garden in the city for the entertainment of nearby residents.

Therefore, in this garden, besides the students of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Music, there are also many old men and women sitting in this place to bask in the sun.

After all, a trend that European countries agree with is...

Good mountains and rivers are so boring.

The scenery of this place may be really beautiful, and the natural scenery of various places can make people feel very comfortable.

But in fact, if you stay in this place for a long time, you will find it boring.

There is nothing more to this place than good looks.

He Shen found a random place to sit in the garden, and continued talking without looking at Zhao Zitong.

"During this period of time, I probably gradually realized some things in music, which will be of great help to my future development in the classical music industry!"

"For example..."

He Shen turned his gaze to his status bar.

Before, when He Shen looked at the status bar for the first time, all his projects were basically in the state of being uninitiated.

But now, it's not...

At this moment, four large classifications have developed from the piano branch.

[Baroque period].

【Classical period】

【Romantic period】

【Modern period】

These works of all periods have all reached Lv4 or higher.

The works of the romantic period directly reached Lv6!

In other words, directly entered the specialization level!
Don't look at the Lv4 level of works in other periods may be very low, but you have to analyze it as a whole.

The works in a period are almost like a vast ocean, and there are simply countless works.

Therefore, if you want to improve the level of works in this period, you can only rely on one thing, that is to watch more and practice more, and feel all the impressions left in the music of this era.

This is the strongest foundation that He Shen has obtained.

No matter what work he plays now, basically as long as the work is in his hands, it doesn't matter whether the composer knows him or not.

As long as you get it, you can get a general idea of ​​the time of his existence and the country he is in.

If it is a work in the romantic period, then this work will start directly from the level of Lv6.

That is to say, He Shen didn't need to start from Lv0 to slowly climb up to practice all the works of the romantic period.

He also doesn't need to struggle for a long time when upgrading from Lv5 to Lv6.

You must know that before that, when He Shen was upgraded from Lv5 to Lv6, basically every piece of work would take at least a whole month.

The reason why the works of the romantic period can surpass other types of works by two levels.

Especially the level from Lv4 directly to Lv6.

The main reason is because of He Shen's Chopin and Berlioz's memory that was inexplicably unlocked during the follow-up learning process.

Berlioz's memory is not the same as Chopin's; he is completely fragmented.

He also didn't appear in front of He Shen like Chopin, and he was able to chat with He Shen casually.

He is just an ordinary miniature, and when He Shen entered that white space, his miniature was immediately absorbed by He Shen.

What He Shen got was to upgrade all Berlioz's works to Lv8.

It's a pity that this Lv8 is actually not very useful for He Shen's piano level.

The biggest use of this is in the symphony!

Berlioz's works are all orchestra, opera, choral and so on.

And these things are of great use to He Shen, which is to allow He Shen to feel more clearly the existence of the symphony orchestra in the piano.

Yes, not the presence of the piano in the symphony, but the presence of the symphony in the piano.

When the piano plays harmony, it needs a very clear sense of the band.

That's the kind, every sound can be regarded as an instrument of a band.

The piano ensemble is the sense of the band ensemble.

This feeling of symphony is very important in playing piano works!
This feeling, especially at the end of the classical period, that is, Beethoven's era, appeared more and more frequently in piano works.

You know, Beethoven can be regarded as the pioneer of the works of the romantic period, and created the music of an entire era.

Therefore, it was also Berlioz's memory of symphony and composition that allowed He Shen's romantic period works to go from the average level of Lv5 to Lv6 directly!

Many works of the romantic period have been upgraded to a higher level unconsciously.

He Shen looked at the Lv6 mark of his romantic period, couldn't help but smile slightly at the corner of his mouth, turned his head to look at Zhao Zitong who was standing honestly by the side, and said softly.

"Let's go, let's go back to Berlin next time, hand over to Deutsche Grammophon magazine, and start my first music activity after four years of precipitation!"

"After all, I haven't appeared on stage for a long time!"
