world number one pianist

Chapter 258 This is the Sonata of Passion!
boom!
The thunderous applause sounded instantly when He Shen stepped onto the stage.

Everyone put their eyes on He Shen, showing a look of anticipation.

He Shen, the winner of the Golden Piano Award in China, debuted from the Golden Piano Award and entered the Jiangzhou Normal University Conservatory of Music, soaring into the sky.

His student also won the Huaguo Higher Music Education Competition, No.1 in the freshman semester!
Not only that, but in the next few years, they led the Jiangzhou Normal University Conservatory of Music to conquer the city every year, making Jiangzhou Normal University, which was originally only a top-ranked conservatory in China, become the top conservatory of music in China.

Afterwards, He Shen represented Huaguo in the Chopin International Piano Competition. For a whole month, he competed in this arena filled with countless top world-class piano performers, and finally won No.1.

And the No.2 and No.3 who competed with him at that time are all showing their strength in this world now.

Liu Yu, a pianist signed by Universal, has just launched a concert tour around the world.

Tanda Kyohei, signed by Sonny Music, established his own music studio, held a concert around Japan in Japan, and is marching towards the world market.

These people have been extremely prominent and eye-catching on the world stage recently, impressing everyone.

So how deep is it?As a top pianist who defeated these people, what kind of musical interpretation can he make?

Therefore, everyone put their eyes on He Shen, waiting for He Shen's interpretation.

And He Shen, standing in the center of the stage, looked at the crowd below the stage.

It was densely packed, and all the seats were filled.

Seeing so many people, he couldn't help but smile, put his hands on the edge of the piano, and bowed to everyone.

Then, without any unnecessary movements, he turned around, sat on the piano bench very neatly, and quickly adjusted the front and rear heights of the seat.

Then, lift your fingers and stand at a height less than one centimeter from the keys.

hum...

In the concert hall, all sounds disappeared instantly.

No one dared to interrupt He Shen's interpretation at this time.

Now, this stage, this space.

Everything is He Shen's territory!

When the last bit of sound from the audience disappeared, He Shen's fingers fell.

With the help of a little bit of gravitational potential energy raised, He Shen's fingers fell and landed on the piano.

Dang, dang, dang dang, dang, dang, dang, dang...

The sound of the theme of the Goldberg Variations slowly flows out from the piano.

Gentle and soothing, let everyone's body relax involuntarily.

Originally, there were still some people who were moving their bodies forward, listening to He Shen's interpretation of music.

But now, all of them leaned their bodies against the back of the seat, allowing their bodies to relax.

The music was so soothing that they couldn't feel any tension.

All their emotions flowed slowly following He Shen's interpretation.

The eyes of some very knowledgeable people could not help flickering.

In this place, the permeability of He Shen's fingers is too strong!
If I'm not mistaken, this place is a very, very distinct, French school!
The French school focuses on the interpretation intention of the musicians and composers for music, and through their own performance, the composer's intentions are perfectly displayed.

And at this moment, He Shen is interpreting Bard's piece, the Goldberg Variations, with the interpretation of the French school!

The theme, aria, and saraband dance music once appeared in Bach's collection of compositions for his wife, and the whole is soft and mellow.

Variations, with continuo bass as the main melody direction, followed by overall variations.

Not the same as the original theme.

And He Shen used many different interpretations for each variation.

Every interpretation tries to maximize the beauty of music to the extreme!
This is what He Shen obtained in Europe!
When everyone listened to He Shen's Goldberg Variations, the emotions in their hearts surged wildly.

He Shen's interpretation of music is very strong.

Just this Goldberg Variation, the interpretation of the music in it almost made it impossible for them to find any mistakes.

Strong, strong!

Strong beyond words.

Such strength...

Everyone glanced at each other without daring to say a word.

This strength really deserves to be No.1 in the Chopin International Piano Competition.

Even without playing Chopin, his strength should not be underestimated.

According to some insiders, some works of Chopin will still be interpreted in this performance.

Then in this case...

Is it possible for them to really see how profound He Shen's understanding of Chopin is?
Everyone doesn't know, but...they are looking forward to it.

He Shen's Goldberg Variations did not last too long.

If you listen to this piece in its entirety, it will take about an hour.

But if you just simply select a few of them and reorganize them, it won't take that much time.

Therefore, He Shen only interpreted for half an hour before ending the Goldberg Variations.

As He Shen's Goldberg Variations ended, he slowly got up, and everyone immediately gave him extremely warm applause.

Also during this time, let myself not dare to pant loudly for half an hour before, and immediately pant hard to make my body more comfortable, and wait for the next performance.

He Shen turned around and went back to the backstage, took the water handed over by the staff, and the lollipops that had been placed here in advance, took a short rest, let his emotions calm down, and switched to the direction he was going to play next. .

He Shen doesn't like competitions. Competitions are more damaging to a musician than anything else.

He requires musicians to move in the direction that the judges like, not in the direction of the musician's personal interpretation.

Therefore, He Shen really, really dislikes competitions.

This is also the idea that he has always maintained when he was in school.

If you can not participate in the competition, you will not participate in the competition.

At that time, he also didn't have a particularly happy relationship with the school because of this matter.

Of course, it may just be his own unhappiness, not the school.

Compared with competitions, concerts can be regarded as very easy.

At the very least, He Shen can finish playing a piece now, take a break, eat some lollipops, drink water and so on.

After He Shen changed his mood a little bit, he stood still, rubbed his hands, and nodded to the staff.

Without any hesitation, the staff reached out and opened the sliding door of the stage.

He Shen looked at the stage in front of him and took a deep breath.

Next, there is Beethoven's Passionate Sonata, which is the direction I will move forward in the future.

There must be no mistakes in this work!

He Shen narrowed his eyes and stepped out.

boom!
The applause sounded again!
This time, He Shen did not bow to everyone again, but sat directly on the piano bench.

Everyone quickly quieted down.

Looking at the piano in front of him, He Shen let his emotions gradually surge and become more passionate.

The previous Goldberg Variations may require the player to maintain emotional calm.

Then, it is also necessary for the player to play as much musical expression as possible within the smallest possible volume change range.

But this song is not the same as before.

This one, Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 23, Op. 57, Passion Sonata!

The most enthusiastic among them is this emotion!
This strand can burn the emotions of the stage.

When He Shen's emotions reached a high level, he suddenly opened his eyes, prostrated himself on the piano keyboard, and slowly pressed down his hands in an extremely devout gesture.

Dang... Dangdang.

Like the beginning of everything.

All the surrounding sounds disappeared in an instant.

In the entire concert hall, the only thing that can be heard is the extremely heavy chord decomposition!

The chord is a descending first, and then immediately climbs upwards.

When it was at the highest point, it suddenly fell to the bottom.

An indescribable emotion poured out from the piano.

Everyone looked at He Shen in front of them, their eyes widened involuntarily.

This, this feeling?
Just a beginning, just a very ordinary beginning.

However, He Shen was able to use his skill to directly push the emotion of this work to an imaginable height.

Obscure, bleak.

But in this obscurity, it is full of vitality and enthusiasm.

Two completely different emotions are fused together in the same sound.

This feeling made everyone not know what to say for a while.

In their minds, only shock and amazement remained.

Shocked by He Shen's interpretation of music.

I am amazed at He Shen's understanding of music.

This is just the beginning.

Just getting started!
He Shen's hand didn't stop at all.

His hand moved a minor second upwards, changing from the original f minor to G flat major!

And at this moment, the feeling of being upright in the major tune emerged spontaneously!

Contrast, incomparably strong contrast.

It is an extremely strong contrast with the darkness of the previous minor!
In this G-flat major, there is not only light and enthusiasm, but also a trace of obscurity in this light.

Just like, the two are completely reversed!
Boom, boom, boom, da...

The four notes in the left hand, Re, Re, Re, Do, are like tombstones, stuck on the ground.

But when the right hand repeats again, it is like heaven calling to the world!
Boom boom boom...

Another sound...

The strong contrast of the minor second degree, at this time, turned into the emotion of the major second degree.

At this time, the tense feeling was obviously relieved a lot.

The right hand, when repeating the left hand, the mood is also soothing.

The two are talking.

Both are echoing!

Heaven, and hell.

Light and darkness.

Hope, and despair...

All emotions are undergoing rapid changes in the constant exchange of left and right hands.

He Shen didn't stop in the slightest for the changes in the emotional interpretation of the music.

The emotions of each place are all interpreted in an incomparable place.

This is just the beginning!
And this is He Shen's strength!
The strength to capture the emotions of all listeners thoroughly from the very beginning!

Yue Li was stunned.

Fu Tiao was stunned.

Pei Qi was stunned...

All the teachers of the younger generation were stunned. It was hard for them to imagine that He Shen, who was about their age, was so strong.

The students of Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music are full of excitement.

The students of Haicheng Conservatory of Music looked ugly.

The students of Huaguo Conservatory of Music don't know what to do.

Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music is excited about their teachers, their strength is so strong.

Moreover, such a teacher will soon become their head of the piano department!
Some students of Haicheng Conservatory of Music are regretting it.

They felt that Haicheng Conservatory of Music should be stronger than Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music, so they never considered Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music when they took the exam.

The distance between the two is not too far, and even if you take the high-speed rail, you can get there in just over an hour or nearly two hours.

Although Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music has not shown any sharpness yet, it is obvious that He Shen is already a hidden danger for their Haicheng Conservatory of Music.

The people of Huaguo Conservatory of Music are far away from Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music, so they are not so hostile.

They just felt that it was a pity that such a top teacher was not in their school.

The emotions of other colleges are also different.

Among these schools, only the people from Wuzhou Conservatory of Music were in a normal mood.

It may be a pity that I have gotten used to it before, but now it doesn't matter.

However, no matter what their emotions were, everyone looked at He Shen who was playing on the stage.

In their hearts, there is only one word.

That is……

powerful!
Incredibly strong!

He Shen's strength really deserves to be the champion of the Chopin International Piano Competition.

If they just look at the two works that He Shen is currently playing, they can clearly feel that He Shen surpasses the strength of almost all young pianists in China.

They even felt that He Shen could even touch Lang Liangyue.

"Is this the strength of the world's top pianists?"

"This control of tone, this musicality..."

"Everything in music, everything that the composer marks, has been done, without any omission."

"The music is always flowing, and the emotions are not reserved. This kind of strength, no matter where it is, can be regarded as top-notch!"

"Four years, this four-year silence is very terrifying, and it has directly brought He Shen's strength forward by a class!"

"Basically, only Chopin can listen to the music that He Shen showed before, and the others can only be regarded as good, but they have not reached the current level at all!"

"Indeed, the end of this concert can fully prove one thing, that is, He Shen's current strength and control of music have reached the level of a top pianist!"

"It's a pity that He Shen only has one Chopin now. I am now looking forward to what direction He Shen will choose in the future?"

"really……"

Everyone looked at He Shen with anticipation in their eyes.

All magazines, no matter which magazine, the emotions of those reporters are also extremely excited.

He Shen did not disappoint anyone's expectations.

He Shen showed this strength in his first concert.

Absolutely can become the strength of the world's top pianist.

And his base.

Incomparably solid, incomparably stable.

Such a solid and stable foundation, coupled with his incomparably clear expression.

very obvious……

He Shen's strength is terrifying to the extreme!
He Shen is fully qualified to officially start his music career in China.

If so, then it means...

The music landscape in Huaguo may be about to change!

Thinking of this place, the excitement in the hearts of those reporters, or media people, almost overflowed.

In China, a new generation of leaders is about to emerge!

They looked at everything around them, and their mood was disturbed by He Shen's incomparably strong emotions, which made their hearts surge with countless heroics.

This is He Shen!

It's a pity that it's now in a concert hall, so it's not suitable for shouting loudly.

Otherwise, they could almost roar a few words in this place to discover their inner excitement.

He Shen also seemed to be able to feel the emotional fluctuations of everyone below. His hands were running quickly on the piano.

The tension of the piano is vividly displayed!

Fast, wild!
But with a trace of restraint!
All this made all the audience lost in the torrent of emotional out-of-control.

Confusion, pain, despair, passion, comfort, hope in He Shen's hands...

All the emotions are fused together and burst out from the piano in an instant.

No matter who it is, when they hear He Shen's piano, they can hear the emotion they want to hear.

Enthusiasm, passion!
Just like the name given to this sonata by outsiders, it makes people feel excited!
Unyielding resistance, endless struggle!
For life, for ideals, for enthusiasm...

All of them are brought together in this sonata.

Gradually, none of the people dared to breathe loudly at this time.

They all made their breathing sound as quiet as possible, carefully looking at He Shen in front of them.

They even feel that if they breathe too loudly, it is entirely possible to break this perfect harmony.

At this time, no one was thinking about anything unrelated to music.

They forget everything.

In their hearts, the only thing left is music!

Only this one, Sonata!
enthusiasm!

sonata!
Only this is the real passion!
True enthusiasm is not like two idiots who shouted at the world for no reason, shouting that my life is up to me!
He must have contained countless pains, and under all kinds of difficulties, he still had that kind of expectation for the future.

Passion for life, for destiny.

Only in this way can it be regarded as a passion sonata!
He Shen's mood fluctuated more and more.

Looking at the piano in front of him, he seemed to be able to feel Beethoven's thoughts at that time!

Those so-called standard music, extremely old ideas, require everything to be done according to the rules, and the shackles that restrain the continued development of classical music have been fragmented for the Passion Sonata!
The passion sonata is just like Beethoven's passion for fate, breaking free from all shackles.

Destroyed the stereotyped impression of the sonata in everyone's mind.

Everything is moving towards the peak of the Sonata!
This is the most peak and most perfect piano sonata produced by Beethoven!
Passion Sonata!
And He Shen interpreted this emotion completely and thoroughly.

Incomparably enthusiastic!
Let everyone lose the ability to think!

This……

It is He Shen's strength!
This!
It is Beethoven!
Passion Sonata!
