world number one pianist

Chapter 298 Open

"He, welcome back!"

The person in charge of the Berlin Philharmonic Hall reached out to hold He Shen's hand, smiling all over his face: "It's been a long time since I cooperated with you last time. I didn't expect you to come back after so many years!"

"Come back for the concert."

He Shen also smiled and added: "Beethoven!"

"Ah, Beethoven!" The person in charge of the Berlin Philharmonic nodded with nostalgia: "One of the 3Bs in Germany, Bach, Brahms, and Beethoven! The three top musicians in Germany!"

"I didn't expect that the one you want to challenge this time is the greatest musician among the 3Bs, Beethoven!"

Speaking of this place, the person in charge of the Berlin Philharmonic Hall immediately took a small step back, put his body on his side, stretched out his hand and pushed towards the road ahead, and said respectfully.

"No matter what, please come with me first!"

He Shen nodded, led the three people behind him, followed the steps of the person in charge of the Berlin Philharmonic Hall, and walked forward.

The Berlin Philharmonic Hall is very complicated, with countless staggered stairs, and the structure is full of artistic beauty, so it is not particularly easy to find the way.

The person in charge in front of him had worked at the Berlin Philharmonic Hall for many years before he was able to become very familiar with this concert hall.

If newcomers, such as the three behind He Shen, come over, it will be very difficult for them to find their way!

The person in charge skillfully led He Shen to the player's lounge, tilted his head slightly, and asked casually.

"He, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing recently?"

"Everything is normal, just like before!" He Shen nodded slightly.

The person in charge couldn't help but smiled when he heard it, and clapped his hands lightly: "Very good, everything is in the best state as usual! In this case, I am looking forward to He Shen's interpretation of music, especially what you will do later. Beethoven played out!"

"But I have a question, why did you choose the first concert, to play Beethoven in Berlin, instead of Chopin, as far as I know, your Chopin should be the strongest, as your comeback on the world stage , shouldn’t choosing Chopin be the safest choice?”

He Shen couldn't help shaking his head slightly after hearing it: "It has nothing to do with insurance, it has to do with music!"

"I have done a lot of things in Chopin's music, especially the emotional interpretation in the core of Chopin's music. I will present all the interpretations of Chopin's music that I can produce in front of the audience."

"If you keep playing Chopin, it's just endless repetition!"

"And repetition, there is no way for a pianist to grow in a real sense!"

Speaking of this place, He Shen glanced at the three people behind him, and continued: "It has been less than four years since my last Chopin concert, and my understanding of Chopin has improved, but there is no qualitative improvement! "

"All my understanding and interpretation of Chopin are still based on my previous logic!"

"The audience can get satisfaction from my music, but I can't get satisfaction from myself!"

"Confining myself to Chopin all the time will only narrow my path as a pianist!"

"So, I chose Beethoven to further broaden my understanding of music!"

"Let me understand music more deeply!"

He Shen looked at the person in charge in front of him. The person in charge didn't deny or affirm. He just nodded with a smile and sighed, "Good! You have a very strong enterprising spirit, good thing!"

"I have nothing to help you. I can only tell you what I think about Beethoven after listening to him for so many years."

"Beethoven's music is difficult to interpret, because his ears are not good, and there is such a fire in his heart!"

"But the younger he is, the more fire he has in his heart!"

"A fire that cannot be extinguished!"

The person in charge said as he walked.

"I personally think that this fire is the key to playing Beethoven!"

"This fire is not hitting the keyboard with all my strength, knocking out everything on the keyboard!"

"It's like someone said that Beethoven is like a hammer! You have to hit it with all your strength!"

"It sounds right!"

"But, that's not the case..."

"Beethoven's fire is in his heart. He wants to interpret many things. He writes everything he has in music!"

"He uses music to bear his understanding of music!"

Speaking of this place, the person in charge stopped at the door of a door, turned to look at He Shen, and the three people behind He Shen, couldn't help smiling, and shook his head slightly.

"Of course, I know that you may understand everything I said. After all, you are the master of piano performance, and I am just an ordinary concert hall director."

"But since you chose Beethoven, the pride of our German name, then I have to say a few words about my understanding of Beethoven, please understand."

"Although I am not as good as you top masters in playing the piano, I have listened to quite a few concerts, and I have listened to a lot of understanding of various concerts!"

"Many people are so flat when they interpret Beethoven, and even I can't get excited."

"So, I am looking forward to your interpretation of Beethoven!"

"From, Beethoven of China!"

The person in charge smiled at He Shen, stretched out his hand to take out a pocket from one side, took out a key, handed it to He Shen, pointed to the door behind him and opened the door.

"This place is your lounge, you keep this key safe, this lounge belongs to you temporarily!"

"This key can also open the door of the stage. I opened the single beam of light above the stage for you. You can go directly to test and adapt."

"Practice in your personal lounge or practice in a big concert hall, it depends on your personal choice, I will not pay attention to this."

"However, I personally suggest that when you leave the concert hall, it is best to leave the key with the staff, and ask them again when you come back."

"After all, on the European side, if you lose a key, it's not as simple as getting a new one."

"I think you should know that."

Speaking of this place, the person in charge took two steps forward, gave He Shen a hug, and patted He Shen on the back.

"He Shen, come on, I look forward to your interpretation of music!"

After finishing speaking, he let go of his arms, smiled at He Shen, and after a gentleman's salute, he turned around and walked away with his hands behind his back.

He Shen weighed the key in his hand, without saying anything, reached out and opened the door of the lounge next to him.

The lounge is not too big, about 20 square meters.

At a glance, you can see that in the lounge of the Berlin Philharmonic Hall, there is a small upright piano placed in the corner for all pianists to practice.

Of course, just practice.

Let them exercise their hands, not really let them exercise their sense of music on this piano.

He Shen walked to the piano and reached out to tap a few times.

Obviously, there is nothing wrong with this piano, everything about this piano is tuned to great precision.

It will not affect the musicality of the player.

After confirming that the piano was correct, He Shen reluctantly nodded and turned to look at other places in the lounge.

The lounge of the Berlin Philharmonic Hall is not particularly large. There is a particularly large vanity mirror inside, which is probably for those female stars, such as Wang Jia and other artists, for their logistics team to use.

On the dressing table under the dressing mirror, there are fruits such as bananas and oranges.

Replenishing energy is similar to the backstage of the previous Golden Piano Awards, there is no big difference.

On the wall, there are photos of some people who have worked in the Berlin Philharmonic.

For example...

Command Emperor Karajan!
In the true sense, the person who led the rise of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra!

Apart from these, they are basically ordinary sofa chairs and the like, very ordinary.

Zhang Wei, Li Hua, and the others lay down on the sofa right after they came in.

Wei Zijie looked at the two of them, and then at He Shen who was observing his surroundings. After hesitating for a moment, he still stood there obediently, not daring to move.

Zhang Wei looked at Wei Zijie, then at He Shen, and couldn't help but patted the sofa beside him, and said with a smile, "What are you doing standing there? Sit!"

"You've been standing there acting like we're mistreating you!"

"This place is the backstage of the Berlin Philharmonic Hall. If you want to come in at other times, there is no chance! Why don't you hurry up and enjoy yourself?"

"Ah? Oh oh oh..." Wei Zijie looked at He Shen, and after realizing that He Shen didn't refuse, he sat down obediently, still looking around curiously.

Especially those portraits looking around.

Zhang Wei didn't care about Wei Zijie's thoughts, he just leaned back on the sofa, waved to He Shen, and called, "Mr. He, may I ask you a question?"

"Well, say." He Shen heard Zhang Wei's voice, couldn't help turning around to look at him, and nodded expressionlessly.

Zhang Wei didn't care about He Shen's indifference, after all, he was used to it.

He Shen's indifference is not because he hates them, but because of He Shen's nature.

Therefore, he directly smiled and said: "Mr. He, I'm just curious. Why did the person in charge say that this key can also open the back door of the stage? Are the doors in these places all a key? Are you afraid of accidents? "

"Also, why did he say don't lose the key, or teacher, you know the consequences?"

He Shen glanced at Zhang Wei in front of him, took out the key given to him by the previous person in charge from his pocket, and handed it to Zhang Wei.

After he took it, he explained lightly.

"It's very simple, because the Germans want to save trouble."

"You seem to have only one piece of this key, which is similar to the keys we use normally, but in fact, this key is composed of three parts!"

"The first is to open some key doors of the concert hall. For example, through part A of the main concert hall where we are located, the door lock only detects that part A is aligned, and then it can be opened."

"Secondly, it is to open part B of the back door of the main concert hall, A+B is aligned, then we can open the concert hall we are going to and test the effect of the piano."

"The best way is to open the part C, A+B+C of the door in front of us, all three of which are aligned, to open our door, the door of the lounge!"

"So if you lose your keys, you effectively lose the keys to the entire concert hall, and naturally you need to replace all the doors just to be on the safe side."

"The same is true for ordinary residents. Their building doors, safety passages, and garbage doors are also integrated with their own doors. If you lose one, it is not as simple as making a new key yourself."

"First of all, remake the key, especially the kind of key in your house. If the person who made the key for you is found out, it will basically be a few years in prison."

"Secondly, you need to replace your entire neighborhood, everyone's doors, to ensure everyone's safety!"

"If I remember correctly, it will cost about ten thousand to twenty thousand euros to replace the doors of all the people in the whole community."

"Of course, if there are few people, it may be a few thousand euros or it may be. Check the bill given by the real estate manager."

"Anyway, my previous neighbor lost it once, but he bought third-party liability insurance, so he didn't need to pay. There were more than 50 households, and the insurance company paid more than 1 euros."

After all, He Shen waved at the three people who were already stupid, and pointed to the door of the lounge.

"Let's go, go to the concert hall and see how the piano is on their side."

"Wait, wait! Teacher He..."

Zhang Wei, who was still playing with the keys, almost knelt down to He Shen.

He looked at the key in his hand with incomparably horrified eyes.

What he holds in his hand is no longer a key...

This is money!

It's still [-] to [-] euros, converted into adult coins...

Nearly one hundred thousand?
Trembling, he held the key in his hand, handed it to He Shen, and swallowed hard.

"Mr. He, you should keep this key. I, I feel that I can't afford it."

"Row."

He Shen nodded, without any accident, reached out to take the key in Zhang Wei's hand, put it in his pocket, and walked towards the door.

Zhang Wei and the three immediately followed behind He Shen obediently.

The backstage entrance of the concert hall is just opposite the lounge.

People don't need to look for it at all, they can see it when they go out.

He Shen took out the key again, opened the backstage door, and walked onto the stage.

The surroundings are very dark, so dark and extremely quiet!
All the lights around the stage were turned off.

Only a beam of dim yellow light on the stage, hitting the piano and reflecting on the dark surface, looks extraordinarily charming.

He Shen stood in front of the piano, ignored the three people behind him, sat down directly, opened the piano cover, and stretched out his hand to slowly press the keys of the piano.

hum...

The sound of the piano sounded instantly, echoing in the concert hall.

He Shen closed his eyes, feeling the sound spread in the air.

Feeling the sound, it flowed out from his fingertips and hit the back wall of the concert hall.

Then, under the acoustic effect of the wall, it returns toward itself.

From the sound of the hand to the sound of hitting the wall.

The voices from the two converged in his ears.

He Shen was probing, and he kept giving the piano a special tone.

He is looking for the most harmonious point, looking for the most suitable interpretation method in this concert hall.

This is what He Shen would do before every concert.

In addition to constantly moving your hands, let your hands ensure that they will not be stiff on the stage.

Another thing He Shen did was to find a balance.

Temperamental balance.

Only by finding the balance can the most perfect music be interpreted in subsequent performances.

He Shen quickly experimented on stage, from single to double.Then to the chords.

From atonal music, to tonal music, and finally to Beethoven's sonatas.

Zhang Wei, Li Hua, and Wei Zijie sat under the stage, looking at He Shen honestly, without saying a word.

The spotlight above his head shone on He Shen's body, as if he had been covered with a layer of finery.

Laurels bestowed by God!
Incomparably holy.

Everyone tried their best to focus their attention, not on He Shen, but on the music.

After all, He Shen didn't bring them here because he wanted them to flatter him.

Instead, I hope that they can follow their concerts in Europe and listen to their interpretation of music, so that they can better grasp more things about music.

To be able to find the most suitable pace for you in your future career as a musician!
Therefore, everyone listened very carefully.

They are listening hard, listening to He Shen's musical understanding of the internal acoustic structure of a concert hall to the audience.

I want to hear why He Shen chose such a basic volume, such a basic interpretation.

This concert hall is very large, with 2440 seats, and the overall appearance is like a vineyard.

The audience is located around the main stage in the form of terraces.

The dome above the head is not the traditional flat top, just like the flat top of the previous Chopin International Piano Competition.

This place is a spire in design!

The music spread upwards from the middle, hit the top of the spire, and radiated to the surroundings!

Let all the audience sitting around can hear almost the same sound effect!

The huge chandelier composed of 72 pentagonal polyamine leaves reduces the visual stimulation of the audience as much as possible.

And the hindrance to music is reduced to a minimum.

Therefore, everyone can feel that in this concert hall, the feeling of music in various places needs to be adjusted a little bit with the effect of interpretation in other places.

Others, such as the Golden Hall in Vienna and the Chopin Philharmonic Hall in Warsaw, are all shoebox-type concert halls.

Boxy.

Like this, He Shen played very few times!

After He Shen tried countless different interpretations, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He found the inspiration for music, and he felt the most correct way to interpret music.

This concert hall is very different from most other concert halls!

He hasn't been here for a long time, and he has forgotten a lot about how to use this concert hall before.

Now, finally pick it all up again.

He got up and looked at the auditorium in front of him with incomparably serious eyes.

In a day or two, his first solo concert tour will start.

by that time……

He Shen touched his chin, narrowing his eyes slightly.

He turned to face the three people behind him, and suddenly said.

"Let's go, I'm almost done groping, go back and rest, it's too late!"

After all, without waiting for the three of them to respond, they turned and walked outside the concert hall.

The three of them followed behind He Shen step by step, and they all returned to the hotel and entered their respective rooms.

The time is getting closer and closer to the time when He Shen takes the stage!
He Shen was lying on the bed alone, looking at the ceiling above his head, thinking about his own music.

The night was getting darker and darker, and the surrounding silence was scary.

He Shen has been unable to fall asleep.

He looked at the ceiling above his head, wondering what he was thinking.

Finally, after He Shen seemed to have made up his mind, he suddenly spoke slowly.

"Open! Beethoven Master Experience!"

"Work: Pastoral!"
