Chapter 49 Chopin Ballade No. [-]

Chopin Ballade No. 47 in A-flat major, No. [-].

Chopin Ballade No.3 in A-flat Major Op.47
Four flats, 6/8 time

Allegretto allegro.

Everything in this work passed through He Shen's mind, and he slowly pressed the first note.

when……

The finger did not just pick it up like this, but continued, using the strength of the arm to lift it up slightly, and then relying on the gravity of the arm to press down again.

when……

As a percussion instrument, the piano, at this moment, is like a string, with extremely soft lines of phrases appearing in front of everyone.

In the first measure, when the right hand is halfway through the sentence, the left hand slowly enters.

The same softness, the same whisper, like a conversation between two lovers.

Chopin's ballad for piano completely broke away from the bitterness and hatred between the two previous ballads, family hatred and national hatred, but gradually moved in another direction.

In the music full of spring breath, a very characteristic phrase is about to unfold.

Everyone can feel the sweetness and tenderness, just like their partner caressing themselves with their hands.

Like the "Sicilian dance" theme in Chopin's second ballade as a contrasting passage.

It's just that here, even more joyful, it will not be used as a comparison, but as a theme.

"The first ballad and the second ballade both tell a tragic history, but by the third ballad, the overall style has begun to change."

Looking at Zhao Zitong, who was enjoying himself, Zhou San suddenly spoke and said to her.

"What the third ballade tells here is a bit similar to feelings and pastoral. When Chopin wrote this work, he had already left his hometown for a while, so his works were influenced by the luxurious atmosphere of Paris at that time."

"Huh?" Zhao Zitong was a little at a loss, not knowing why Wednesday told her this.

Zhou San smiled helplessly: "You can listen to this work, but just listen to it, don't take it to heart, this third ballad is completely different from the first ballad you want to play. Yes, you know."

"Hey, you are so annoying, I get it."

Zhao Zitong moved her nose, ignored Zhou San, and continued to lie on the railing in front of her, tilting her head and listening to He Shen's performance.

He Shen's hands moved over the keys, like flowing water, covering the piano keyboard.

The timbre is extremely stable, every sound is excellent, and there is no such little flaw in any sound.

In the minds of everyone present, there was only one voice left.

That was the sound played by He Shen.

Everyone forgot everything, as if they had lost their own thoughts, and He Shen's performance was always echoing in the whole brain.

Round and smooth, like drops of water, it can be connected into a line, or drop by drop like jade beads.

In this piece of Chopin's work, there is not much family hatred and national hatred, only the sweetness and passionate love.

He Shen put his whole body on the piano, using his own weight, and with an extremely sweet posture, to play a love that can be so sweet and boring.

"Great!"

A judge suddenly expressed emotion. He pointed to He Shen on the stage, his eyes full of shock.

"Look, in his performance, there are three perfect levels!"

"Singing, throbbing, and dancing."

"These three levels are actually very close, but this player, he divides these levels very clearly, it's absolutely amazing!"

"Singing style, with a long and long breath, mainly adopting the material A of the work, that is, sections 1-53."

"However, in Material A, he also uses something very interesting, which is throbbing."

"Throbbing, steady, but very subtle emotional changes, very similar to singing, the breath is relatively stable, but the throbbing mood swings are very abnormal."

"The throbbing style that should be used in work material B and work material B1 is also made by He Shen in the 9-36 subsections of work material A."

"Using throbbing as the dominant position of the overall emotion represents the throbbing of the hero and heroine in the ballad for each other."

"It's very interesting, very interesting. According to my idea, I should use singing as the theme to sing about the love between the hero and heroine."

The judge suddenly said a lot, his eyes became brighter and brighter, he felt that he had found a treasure.

According to his understanding, this Chopin Ballade No. [-] can definitely be regarded as a master-level performance.

No, it may be even higher. It should be regarded as a perfect master-level work that can be recorded on a CD and exist as a classic handed down from generation to generation.

The other judges also nodded and discussed in a low voice.

"That's right, his performance is indeed very innovative. I can clearly tell that he belongs to the French school if there is something about him."

"That's right, probably only the French school would like to strip away all their understanding of music, and play it strictly according to the composer's ideas..."

"Did you decide your future route so early? It's a pity..."

Some of the judges from other schools, such as the German-Austrian school and the Russian school, looked full of regret.

Since they chose the French school, which restores the creator's own thoughts, it is inevitable that they will have a little difference between the Russian school, which is mainly rich in color, and the classical and pure German-Austrian school.

Maybe, some requests from the other two schools of music with strong styles will be rejected.

The music is still going on. After going through work material A, work material B, work material C, and work material B1, the work finally returns to work material A1 again, which is the deformation of work material A.

the end of the whole work.

Accompanied by triumphant singing and dancing-style layering, the whole work ushered in the final ending.

When, when, when, when!
After the last few extremely short chords were struck, the whole work finally came to an end.

The moment He Shen's hand was slowly lifted from the piano, the entire concert hall exploded instantly.

"Bravo!"

"Bravo!"

"Bravo!"

……

Everyone stood up and applauded vigorously.

It is more enthusiastic than the previous song Caiyun Chasing the Moon.

The previous song "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon" can only be regarded as excellent, very good work, not perfect.

And this Chopin Ballade No. [-] has definitely reached a perfect state!
Even those masters may not be able to play such works every time.

Every sound of He Shen almost reached their hearts.

There is only one thing they think about now, and that is to go back as soon as possible. After the competition is over and the Golden Piano Awards officials release the video of the contestants, they will download the video as soon as possible.

If you really want to buy a recording of this level, even the digital version will cost dozens of dollars, and the physical version will cost at least a few hundred dollars.

Now you can go whoring for free, don't you hurry up and listen to it?

The group of judges looked at the group of excited audience, and one of them couldn't help but sighed.

"I regret it, I regret that I gave this contestant such a high score for the previous work."
