world number one pianist

Chapter 256 He Shen's Solo Concert!
He Shen followed Zhou San and the others and returned to school by car.

After returning to school, He Shen was not in a hurry to start dealing with normal school affairs, but followed Wednesday to a personal piano room that belonged to him for the time being.

This piano room is much larger than the previous one in the Music College of Jiangzhou Normal University.

At least, this piano room...

Is it actually a suite structure?
This is a room of about forty or fifty square meters, and there are two grand pianos in the room.

One is the small triangle of Steinway, and the other is the small triangle of Fazioli.

The two grand pianos are placed in the middle of the piano room, taking up a lot of space.

In the corner of the piano room, there are long sofas and tea tables, which can provide teachers in class to rest.

If you just look at it this way, there is actually nothing wrong with it. This room is probably similar to the piano room I saw at the Haicheng Conservatory of Music before.

Played enough than the top piano room of Haicheng Conservatory of Music, there may be one more piano.

But as said before.

This place is not an ordinary piano room, this place is a suite structure!

At the door of the door, probably a few meters away.

There is a small door in that place, and a line of writing is written on the door of the small door.

"Practice Preparation Room"

This room is for all students who come to class to practice piano before class.

After the first student in class enters, the second student in class can practice piano in this place, and exercise their fingers a little so that their fingers are not too unfamiliar.

After the last student leaves, this student can go to the main class room through the door in this room, and the flow of class is very smoothly connected.

Then the next student continued to practice piano in the practice preparation room next to the piano room.

Therefore, the overall design of the piano room is extremely perfect, which can minimize the fatigue of teachers in class.

At least don't be too angry about students not practicing piano.

And this room was Zhou San's gift to He Shen.

Although it is impossible to sell the piano in the piano room, this piano room completely belonged to He Shen during He Shen's working period!

Qu Shi, Ji Mengting and others originally planned to stay in the piano room for a while, chatting with He Shen about their previous experiences in Europe.

It's a pity, when they saw the look in Zhou San's eyes, they immediately avoided it honestly.

After waiting for them to leave on Wednesday, he patted the Fazioli piano in front of him with a smile, and smiled at He Shen.

"How is it? Do you like this room? This can be regarded as the largest piano room in our school! And this piano room will be your practice room and class room in the future."

He Shen looked at all the arrangements in this room, and couldn't help but nodded: "It's amazing."

"Of course, this place can be regarded as the best piano room in our place. Even among the teachers in this place, there are only a few people who have such a configuration, and you are the former head of the piano department. !"

On Wednesday, like a few years ago, he handed a document to He Shen from the document bag behind his back.

His originally smiling expression also became extremely serious at this time, and he slowly said: "The teacher who was in charge of the piano department in the school before was the former head of the piano department of the Music College of Jiangzhou University of the Arts, Zhao Shenggang!"

"The main reason why he was the head of the department was because I was in charge of all the affairs of the entire school, and I couldn't lead the piano department to carry out teaching and research activities normally, and all his people just happened to enter the Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music."

"Therefore, during the few years you left, the piano department has been under his control."

"But now that you are back, without any hesitation, he let go of the position and returned the position of head of the piano department to you! He returned to his Jiangzhou Arts University School of Music and continued to serve as the head of the piano department. "

"After all, the most important opportunity for our school to be established is because you won the world-class piano competition championship all over the world! His abdication is justified."

"Would you like to take this position?"

Zhou San reached out and pushed the document to He Shen, seeing He Shen's slightly hesitant expression, without waiting for He Shen's answer, he walked directly towards the door.

When he reached the door, he turned around, leaned against the door frame, rubbed his hairless head, waved to He Shen, and said with a smile.

"Okay, how to do it is up to you. The one in your hand is the letter of employment for the position of associate professor in the school. You can just sign it when the time comes. Just give me that document later when you have a chance."

"And as for the head of the piano department, the position has been vacated for you. Zhao Shenggang is still maintaining the normal operation of the school's piano department. If you want to be the head of the piano department, he can go back directly, and you can also take the position directly. "

"If you don't want to be, I can also find a suitable person from the current professors of the piano department to take the position. Don't feel too much pressure."

"Think slowly, this piano room belongs to you, you use it slowly, remember to go downstairs and throw the key to the auntie in the piano room after using it, just like before."

"After all, this is the property of the school."

"That's it, you practice the piano well, and I'll go first."

"What exactly you want to do, you can tell me after your concert is over."

After all, Zhou San waved to He Shen again, and left He Shen's piano room without any trace of remembrance.

When leaving, he did not forget to close the door.

He Shen looked at the closed door, then glanced at the piano in front of him, smiled lightly, and said nothing.

He turned and walked towards the piano, opened the piano cover, pulled out the piano stool, sat down, looked at the piano reflecting the light in front of him, and took a deep breath.

He is still completely unfamiliar with the affairs of the school.

At present, the school affairs are not the most important thing for him.

The most important thing for him now is to play the piano. In the concert a few days later, he will perform in a very good state.

Therefore, He Shen sat upright, looked at the piano in front of him, and closed his eyes.

The finger was slowly lifted into the air, and without any guidance, it placed it on the g in a group of small characters very skillfully.

With the strength of the arm removed, the fingers, following the gravity, fell downward.

In an extremely short period of time, the fingers landed on the piano keyboard at a speed that was neither light nor heavy.

The voice was squeezed out of the piano in an extremely gentle manner.

This time, He Shen did not choose the Fazioli piano he had chosen in the previous Chopin International Piano Competition.

This time he chose Steinway.

Fazioli's voice is too bright, too harsh for this kind of hypnotic music.

Therefore, Steinway, whose scores are above the excellent line, is the best choice for He Shen.

When He Shen heard the voice coming out of this Steinway, the corners of He Shen's mouth could not help but slightly raised.

He completely immersed himself in the music, feeling the veins of the music flowing in his hands.

Clear and beautiful.

This is a work that he has been practicing all the time, and this piece is also the highest level among his Baroque works.

Master level, Lv9 work!
A work that does not rely on the system at all, but relies on He Shen's own deep cultivation of music, as well as continuous analysis, and is produced under the guidance of those top professors.

Under the control of He Shen's fingers, the music becomes extremely soft, which makes the listener's mood soothed.

The door of the piano room is not particularly soundproof after all, and the music flows out through the gap between the door cracks.

Let the students who were sneaking over to question He Shen's performance couldn't help being stunned, their brains were completely empty, and they didn't know how to think.

nice……

So beautiful!
This piece of Johann Sebastian Bach's work, the Goldberg Variations, is almost beautiful to the extreme!

The group of people who were quietly hiding at the door had nothing to say.

The news of He Shen's return to China was not treated as a special matter that needed to be kept secret in the school, and it was done in an extremely aboveboard manner.

It is precisely because of this that many people who study Ali know about it.

After all, a piano teacher is coming back suddenly, and this piano teacher may also become the head of their piano department.

This matter made it impossible for everyone to accept it for a while.

After all, what Zhao Shenggang has done is not bad. He has been laying the foundation of the piano department, trying his best to make the foundation of everyone in the piano department not too weak.

Coupled with his unsmiling expression, he has a very high reputation among the student community.

However, such a person will be replaced by a piano competition champion who has been silent for four years?

Although the champion of this piano competition is the champion of the Chopin International Piano Competition.

Belonging to the world's top piano competition champion.

but……

You must know that this person has been silent for four full years!
There has been no composition or sound for four years. Who knows how well he plays?
And even if he is good at playing the piano, can he really teach the piano well and bring about order in the school?

Therefore, everyone waited until the day when He Shen came back, full of doubts about He Shen.

After He Shen came back, the news immediately spread throughout the school.

Almost everyone walked towards He Shen's piano room intentionally or unintentionally.

This room used to be Zhao Shenggang's piano room.

Then, they were shocked.

All of them have heard the Goldberg Variations.

This work is known as Bach's touchstone.

If you can play this piece and play it well, then you can almost rely on this piece to run through everything in Bach.

It can even be called the spokesperson of Bach through this piece of work!
Just like Gould decades ago.

The top Bach master who is very good at Bach and left a perfect Goldberg Variation.

Glenn Gould!
One of the 100 greatest pianists of the twentieth century, Bach is best at it.

It can even be said that among them, the person who is best at Bach's works!
It is a pity that there are only 100 of the 73 greatest pianists in name.

The reason why it is called 100 is because there are a total of 100 volumes and 200 CDs in this set of recordings.

What is recorded on each CD becomes the most perfect piano recording.

Perfect level!

Many top pianists, although a large number of their works have reached the peak of the master level, but because they do not have perfect works.

Therefore, there is absolutely no chance to be on the throne of one hundred top piano masters.

Among the two hundred works, only Gould's Bach left all the other pianists speechless.

And his famous work is this Goldberg Variations!
Everyone stood outside the door, listening to the Goldberg Variations in the room, and they were all stunned.

"This, what is this? This playing... Is it really the same work as I played?"

"Is this the strength of a world champion?"

"It's terrifying, it's unimaginable that He Shen's strength is so strong."

"Quiet, listen to the music, don't talk nonsense."

"Don't make noise, the sound insulation is good, still noisy? Let no one listen? If you want to make noise, go away!"

After a few exclamations and scolding from the crowd, the silence quickly returned.

All of them were listening to He Shen's explanation seriously, not daring to disturb him in any way.

This music is really beautiful, beautiful to suffocate.

As time went by, more and more people who were curious about He Shen began to gather outside He Shen's door.

Originally, they wanted to come over to see, how strong is this so-called world champion?
What kind of strength can replace their head of the piano department.

Then they heard it.

It was precisely because they heard it that they were completely stunned, and stayed in place stupidly, unable to move.

Even if there is a wall, a wall that has been silenced, the sound is already a little bit distorted.

They can also hear it completely.

How strong is He Shen's piano performance!
They can even imagine how shocking it would be if they listened to He Shen's performance in the room!

Therefore, they could not help but remain silent.

No one has the slightest doubt about He Shen's strength anymore.

Four years after the others won the championship, no news came out. It may be that they went out to play, gave up practicing piano, or prepared to join other industries.

Maybe even hit a bottleneck or something.

But He Shen, just listening like this, can clearly hear it.

He Shen, who has not made any sound for the past four years, is definitely in precipitation.

He Shen's Chopin, all of them have heard of it.

In the digital library in the school, most of Chopin's recordings are not those top masters.

For example, Argerich, Zimmerman's recording.

It's He Shen's recording!
They have listened to He Shen's Chopin recordings countless times, and even many times, all the Chopin works they imitated came from He Shen.

Therefore, they knew that He Shen played Chopin well.

According to common sense, a person who plays Chopin well should have richer emotions.

He plays late classical music, Romantic period, modernist pieces, and it should be very good.

Although it is possible to play the works of the Baroque period, the taste of playing is definitely not as strong as those top-notch pianists mainly in the Baroque period.

It's a pity that common sense doesn't play any role here at all.

He Shen is not only strong in Chopin, but also his Bach works, Goldberg Variations, are also extremely powerful.

Not only that……

Everyone stood at the door and listened to the Goldberg Variations for more than an hour, and when they were about to rub their knees for a rest, He Shen's hand fell again.

Beethoven, Passion Sonata.

Piano Sonata No. 57, Op. 23!

This is a very common and popular work.

Many students present, when they entered the school in the art examination, the work they played was this passion sonata.

Therefore, when they heard the opening note of the Passionate Sonata, the corners of the mouths of many people in the crowd began to rise involuntarily, and their bodies began to relax.

After all, everyone is familiar with this stuff.

Just when they started to seriously criticize He Shen's passion sonata.

pity……

The music sounded, and extremely strong emotions rushed over. Everyone's bodies, which were just about to relax, froze suddenly.

They suddenly realized that they couldn't understand.

He Shen's musical handling of this Passionate Sonata is very detailed.

Every moment they listen to the details, they can feel He Shen's handling of details.

Such strength...

Everyone glanced at each other, not daring to make a sound, for fear of disturbing the music.

Heaven and hell, light and darkness, all kinds of strong contrasts appear in the music, leaving everyone speechless.

Music is still beautiful, beautiful to the extreme.

They didn't even know how He Shen performed such a beautiful work.

Everyone has two hands, and everyone plays the same piece.

Why is this happening?

Everyone is silent.

This is especially true for Chopin and Rachmaninoff.

At the end of the music, when He Shen started to dig up the details again, the crowd did not disperse.

They glanced at each other, their eyes flickering incomparably.

They originally wanted to find out what the strength of He Shen, the teacher who was about to be the new head of their piano department, was.

Wanted to see if I could find a little loophole.

Just like Zhao Shenggang, he is not particularly good at playing modernist works.

Therefore, everyone here is also planning to find some loopholes or something.

pity……

Everyone looked at the gate in front of them unwillingly, but they had no choice but to sigh slowly, turn around and leave.

As for Zhao Shenggang, whom everyone originally wanted to keep?

Whatever he wants.

After all, when these people got together to face He Shen, they couldn't help but feel powerless.

Zhao Shenggang stood in the distance, looking at He Shen's piano room, without saying a word.

Zhou San rubbed his head, didn't look at Zhao Shenggang, just stood there cheerfully, also looked in the direction of He Shen's piano room, and asked casually.

"How is it? Are you satisfied? The person I chose will not have any bad influence on Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music!"

"..."

Zhao Shenggang didn't speak, but turned around and walked downstairs.

He is now clear that He Shen's strength has reached a very terrifying level.

In China, there are very few people whose understanding of music is so deep that it can surpass He Shen!

Except for Lang Liangyue who was still struggling outside, almost all of them were eight or ninety-year-old monsters.

And those people, whether they can play normally is still a question.

Not to mention confronting He Shen.

Even if He Shen is sitting there and not teaching, he is already a threat to other schools.

Therefore, Zhao Shenggang can safely hand over the piano department to He Shen.

When he was going down and was about to disappear down the stairs, he turned his head and said slowly to Wednesday.

"Let's talk about it after the concert is over."

"I'll do what you want."

After saying that, he disappeared from Wednesday's sight.

Zhou San happily touched his head, did not speak, but raised the corners of his mouth.

Zhao Zitong hid in a far corner, watched Zhao Shenggang leave, and pursed his lips.

He Shen is still playing in the piano room, preparing for the concert in a few days.

Waiting, the final test.
