Chapter 262 Sadness!
"Senior Brother He, who is the one they are talking about, your so-called Alice?"

Zhao Zitong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, let his eyes look around, tried not to stare at He Shen, and asked He Shen.

Ji Mengting stood aside, although she pretended not to care, she also looked at He Shen.

After all, if you follow some rumors about Beethoven's work, or the explanations passed down by others.

Then this piece of work may have something to do with them.

Because it is said that this piece of work was actually written by Beethoven to his students. He regarded the respect and love of his student Marfati as love and believed that this marriage was very secure, so he wrote this piece. When the work comes out, I want to propose with this work.

As a result, he got drunk at the reception held by his father-in-law, and accidentally wrote the title of the work that was intended to be used as a confession. From Marfati, it was written as Teresa. Some people even regarded it as Alice.

Therefore, although Malfati got this work, he did not get Beethoven's marriage proposal in the end.

A misunderstanding per second was formed.

It was precisely because of this that Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting couldn't help but their hearts were pounding. They blushed and looked at He Shen, waiting for He Shen's answer.

As a result, He Shen didn't have the reaction in their minds at all.

Nothing at all stood up, reached out and touched their chins, and then said to them in a particularly handsome posture, in fact, his Alice is them.

He Shen just sat on the sofa, looked at the two with inexplicable eyes, and frowned at them in puzzlement.

"What my Alice?"

"That's right, your "For Alice"..."

Zhao Zitong handed the mobile phone to He Shen, pointed to the words on it, and asked hesitantly.

"They said that in your song "For Alice", it is obvious that there is really an Alice, and it is precisely because of the existence of this Alice that you can play so softly, brother."

"I just want to ask, Mr. He, who is that Alice in your heart...?"

He Shen looked at Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting in front of him. He looked at Ji Mengting, and his brows frowned even deeper.

He Shen asked Ji Mengting, "You... want to ask that too?"

"Huh? Me? I..."

Ji Mengting glanced at Zhao Zitong, then at He Shen, lowered her head and said embarrassedly: "Well, I'm a little bit..."

He Shen looked at the two of them, and couldn't help pinching his eyebrows, completely unable to understand the brain circuits of the two of them.

Why do you think about who your own Alice is from an ordinary work?
Even though I have been abroad for so long, I have never met anyone named Alice.

Why do these two people seem so convinced that they know an Alice?

He got up, walked to the shelf he had placed in the small piano room, and casually flipped through it.

There is no sheet music for Für Elise.

After hesitating for a moment, He Shen returned to the sofa, used his mobile phone to find a sheet music on imslp, printed it out, and handed it to the two, unable to understand.

"Who is the Alice you just mentioned?"

"That's right..." Ji Mengting said embarrassedly, Zhao Zitong took a step forward and said.

"That's what we want to know, Mr. He, when you play this piece, who is the person you think about and like?"

"..."

He Shen looked at the extremely serious two and was speechless for a while, unable to understand:
"Why do you think that if I play such a simple piece, I need to have a special relationship if I want to play it a little deeper?"

"Also, why do you think that I will make my emotional investment in that way at the end?"

"No, even if I'm emotionally involved, and I'm very involved, haven't you guys learned from me, there is a thing called emotional transfer? I haven't told you about it?"

"Transfer your emotions towards a certain type of work to the same emotion, don't you know this basic skill?"

"Why do you think that when I perform a work, I need to bring my emotions into the composer's own emotions?"

Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting froze in place, tilting their heads: "Huh?"

Seeing the bewildered looks of the two, He Shen lost his temper for a moment, reached out and tapped the heads of the two, and patted his hand on the music score hard.

"What are you guys doing?"

"The two of you have studied music for so long, don't you even know which works require emotional investment and which works do not require emotional investment?"

"Also, you don't understand the score, there are so many information on the score, don't you even read it?"

"First of all, it is the direction of the overall music flow. Beethoven's conception of this piece of music in terms of music is actually not particularly ingenious, it can only be regarded as excellent."

"But it's just because of the musical fluidity of this piece, and a certain theme that keeps repeating, that makes the music more brainwashing and more popular with the audience."

"This is the reason why Beethoven's work is loved and known by most people."

"This kind of piano piece is also the most suitable piece for music encores, because it has a wide audience, even people who don't know much about classical music can understand the last piano piece."

"Therefore, during the piano's encore, most pianists will play some particularly simple works as a foil to the final piano emotion."

"For example, at the end of Lang Liangyue's ending, his personal favorite encore piece is Jasmine Flower. His song Jasmine Flower has been personally adapted by him, and only the original tune is kept. Everything else has been completely changed by him. personal creation."

"Secondly, Wang Jia, Lang Liangyue's fellow apprentice, at the end of the concert, she personally likes virtuoso works. If I remember correctly, her personal repertoire is a Turkish march, and she also performed it Variation, variation into an appearance that no one can understand."

"You should have known these things a long time ago, why didn't you know?"

He Shen looked at Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting and was furious.

According to normal logic, Zhao Zitong should have learned a lot of things after studying piano with her for so long and traveling all over Europe with her.

These things are the most basic. As a pianist as a career goal, these things are necessary, how could you not know?
As a result, I came over to ask myself now, whether playing Beethoven's "For Alice" requires a particularly deep emotional investment, whether it is necessary to really play a love.

Isn't this just a joke?After learning the piano for so long, have you learned it in the dog's stomach?
I also want that Ji Mengting. I stopped talking about Ji Mengting in China. It is said that he is the No. 1 top player who has dominated the domestic higher music education competition for three years.

When He Shen saw Ji Mengting at the time, he felt a sense of relief, and had the illusion that his daughter had grown up.

As a result, she was so, so curious about this?
Curious about this entry-level knowledge point?

What joke are these two playing?
It was all in vain to take the two of them by myself for so long?
What is this like?
You're there with students who are trying to unravel what the Riemann Hypothesis is.

As a result, the students ran over to ask you, and asked you a question.

One plus one equals two, why is this basic problem calculated?

Goldbach wondered why it was only now that one plus two equals three.

Anyone who has studied mathematics knows that this question is pure and simple.

People's one is to prove one plus one, and to prove one plus two.

There is no equal sign after it.

Therefore, He Shen looked at Ji Mengting and Zhao Zitong with disappointment in his eyes.

He really didn't think that these two people might ask such a wrong question.

He Shen looked at the two, hesitated to speak, finally sighed, got up, walked to the piano, found a sheet of music at random, and spoke to the two.

"Forget it, since you have asked, let me explain the interpretation of emotions in the music again."

Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting looked at He Shen and seemed to be a little angry, but for a while they didn't know where He Shen was angry, and for a while they didn't know what to do.

But since He Shen didn't seem to ask questions, the two immediately breathed a sigh of relief and ran towards He Shen's side.

He Shen looked at the two of them, didn't say much, just put his eyes on the music score in front of him, and said slowly.

"First, it is well known that the mood of music is not a fixed mood."

"Take Beethoven, the Passion Sonata that I played earlier."

"My personal emotional expression for this piece of work, what I think about, should be the expression of emotions between struggle and resistance, and what I express is the struggle between different emotions."

"Therefore, I clearly gave an emotional interpretation of the music at the beginning, that is light and darkness, two completely different musical emotions."

"When I have determined the application of the two musical emotions in music, everything that follows will take these two as examples and continue to expand."

"It's still an example. When you interpret Bright Land, what do you think of?"

He Shen looked at the two of them, Ji Mengting thought for a while and said, "White?"

He Shen looked at Zhao Zitong, and Zhao Zitong immediately raised his hand: "The sun!"

"White, the sun, and even other places, such as fire, heaven, chant, clean, beautiful, bright, daytime..."

He Shen nodded, but did not give everyone a particularly clear answer.

He just put his hand on the piano and pressed it down slowly.

The sound of music burst out from the piano in an instant.

Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting immediately recognized the feeling they both wanted to hear.

Purely white.

The hot sun!
He Shen didn't give the two of them time to think and reflect, and he continued directly.

"There are countless Hamlets in countless people. If I play the same note, you may feel various emotions."

"These emotions are all what I think, not necessarily exactly the same, but they must be close and close!"

"Therefore, this place is the space we can control."

"This place, that is, the pianist, is the place where all kinds of emotions are controlled!"

"Through my own understanding, find a closer timbre to replace emotions."

He Shen closed his eyes, tilted his body slightly backwards, raised his fingers, placed them in the air, and slowly pressed them on the piano as he leaned forward.

hum...

This voice!

The eyes of Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting suddenly lit up.

The work He Shen is playing now is a very famous piano work by Liszt.

"Love Dream No. [-]"

This work is the most famous one among Liszt's Dream of Love works.

The popularity of this piece of classical music is almost close to that of Chopin's Nocturne.

It may not be as famous as Chopin's Nocturne.

but!

The degree of singing of this work can definitely catch up with Chopin's Nocturne.

It is the kind that you may not have heard, but as soon as the beginning of the work sounds, you can immediately know the level of this work.

Therefore, when He Shen pressed this piece, Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting instantly understood the piece He Shen was playing now.

Moreover, they can clearly feel He Shen's control over music.

Incomparably sweet.

The two of them glanced at each other, and then at He Shen, their faces flushed slightly involuntarily.

The two of them might want to be together.

Dream of Love, Dream of Love, this piece clearly shows the theme of the work.

dream of love.

When the two of them heard this work, they could feel that love very clearly.

It's just that what Zhao Zitong himself felt may be youthful love.

But what Ji Mengting felt was in the midst of fireworks, and the two were in love with each other.

When He Shen played this piece, he only played the beginning, and then stopped his fingers.

He Shen looked at the two of them, and continued to speak slowly.

"Tell me, what did you hear?"

Zhao Zitong immediately said: "Youth love! The most pure and beautiful love in youth!"

Ji Mengting looked at Zhao Zitong, hesitated to speak, finally lowered her head, and said in a low voice, "I feel a little smokey, the kind that after returning home at night, the two of you have dinner together and lie on the sofa, um... That kind of love."

He Shen didn't raise any objection to the two people's answers, he just nodded and said casually.

"Perhaps you are both right."

"It's just that, in order to give you a very clear feeling, I didn't interpret it with a particularly obvious musical interpretation in this place. I didn't think about love. What I thought about was just a little..."

"sweet!"

He Shen turned around, looked at the piano in front of him, raised his fingers, and the sound floated in the air.

Feeling the music floating around him, He Shen continued.

"In this piece of music, I only want to construct one thing, that is sweetness, that kind of sweetness that makes people panic!"

"Many, many times sweeter than a lollipop, the kind of sweetness that even I can't eat!"

"What I think, what my hands construct, is this kind of sweetness!"

"And this kind of sweetness, after being infected by music, you can quickly feel the music you want to feel."

"This is the emotional substitution under the control of musical emotional interpretation."

"You... can you understand?"

He Shen looked at Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting in front of him, leaned his body back slightly, reached out and took out a lollipop, and put it in his mouth.

He looked at them calmly.

At this moment, the two of them glanced at each other and were embarrassed to say anything.

Probably because I was fooled by netizens and thought too much, but I forgot this point.

They have also learned about the substitution and conversion of emotions before, and they have also passed many similar examples.

In the simplest example, Lang Liangyue said that when he took the entrance examination for the Curtis Institute of Music in the beautiful country, he also needed to play works similar to love.

As a single dog who has never been in a relationship, Lang Liangyue naturally has no idea what love is.

What's the use of this thing.

Therefore, he directly replaced this emotion.

A variety of emotions such as patriotism or dependence on the mother are fused with each other.

Together they formed a new, very strange love.

And this love did not disappoint anyone.

All the teachers at the Curtis Institute of Music applauded Lang Liangyue's interpretation of love, and even praised him for playing love very well!
Lang Liangyue has said this matter many times, using this method of emotional substitution to deceive the audience and the judges.

These are very normal times.

Take He Shen's previous experience as an example.

From Chopin's Nocturne, He Shen could hear a lot of sensual sounds, and he could even feel a lot of that kind of courtship.

It's like the Paris cannon king.

However, He Shen never even held a girl's hand, and Chopin's memory never let He Shen touch his woman.

Therefore, He Shen directly replaced the emotion of courtship, looking for other similar emotions to simulate.

In the end, with an extremely serious and gentle gesture, it interprets the soft beauty of Chopin's nocturne...

Ok……

This is definitely not because He Shen has no experience in this kind of special activities!

The same is true for some other pianists.

A variety of works, with a variety of emotions.

Just like the pain of subjugation.

The pain of bereavement.

Pain of bankruptcy.

Even their own strange feeling.

For example, in the mark of a certain piano, the one that needs to be played is like a cover.

Well, it's that male-to-male cover.

This kind of stuff definitely can't be played according to the composer's idea, really find a man to fall in love with or something.

The best way is to replace emotions by replacing them.

In order to achieve the same purpose of emotion.

It is precisely in this way that music has infinite possibilities.

Let those performers not need to be limited by specific emotions.

He Shen didn't pay attention to the two students behind him, he just felt that his previous piano education seemed to have failed a little bit.

He really didn't expect that his two students would feel that they should play each work directly according to the idea of ​​that work.

Is it possible to play the kind of work that is sad about the loss of parents, and really hold a knife to fulfill your filial piety?
Are you kidding me?
He Shen shook his head, and didn't bother to pay attention to the two of them, so he just explained to them some substitutions about music emotions, and then walked directly to the bookshelf.

In the bookshelf, move your finger slowly, staying at the top position.

That position is all composers beginning with B.

Germany's 3B composers, Beethoven, Bach, Brahms, all stop here.

He Shen reached out and pulled out the work with Beethoven printed on it, and put it in front of him.

This is a work, a piano work that doesn't look like anything special.

There is a line printed on it.

If translated, it is Beethoven's Piano Sonata.

Among Beethoven's piano works, the most peak is his 32 piano sonatas.

Next, there is Beethoven's Piano Concerto.

And He Shen is currently planning to move towards Beethoven, and his first mountain is the one in front of him.

Beethoven, Piano Sonata!
If Bach's piano well-tempered collection is called the "Old Testament" of the piano, then Beethoven's 32 piano sonatas must be called the "New Testament" of the piano!
As for the song that He Shen has pulled out so far, when he opened the cover, there was another line written on the first page of the official score page.

Piano Sonata No. 13 in C minor, Op. [-].

This sonata belongs to the sonatas of Beethoven's middle period, and the individual has gradually emerged.

Full of romanticism.

It can even be said that this piece is Beethoven's first attempt to enter the romantic period.

Let your own personality emerge from the music, and no longer let the music be full of decadent stubbornness.

Therefore, this piece is particularly important in Beethoven's works.

It is also very important for He Shen's career.

After all, He Shen's opening concert was planned to be over after two more concerts.

The opening concert has no meaning, it just announces his return to everyone.

The most important thing for him at the opening concert is actually just to announce one thing to everyone.

That is, he is about to start a series of actions next.

An action featuring Beethoven.

And the first work is the one he is currently holding.

He Shen looked at the piano score in front of him with an extremely heavy expression on his face. He was about to face the new work head-on, a work that he would completely comprehend by himself.

The top pianist, after laying the foundation for He Shen, has a real sense of self-study and understanding of music.

He Shen sat on the piano bench, opened the sheet music in front of him, and placed it in front of him. He didn't care about the two students behind him, and directly raised his hand, ready to press the first note of this work. .

Piano Sonata No. [-] in C minor.

If you use a name that everyone knows.

Then this work is...

"Pathetic!"

　I went to the concert rehearsal today, I don't have time to write, and I will make up for the 1000 monthly ticket in February tomorrow.

　　Rehearsal schedule: Wednesday, Saturday.

　　These two days should be impossible.

　　It depends on the situation at other times. If the monthly pass can keep up, there is probably no problem.
