Golden Greenery

The reason why Ivo Pogorelich is called the "Voldemort of the piano" comes from a very vivid answer to the question "should beginners play faithfully to the music score".

Beginners are like students at Hogwarts. The spells must be recited accurately for magic to appear. But you still have your own voice and your own magic, just like if you play according to the score, the music will still have your personality.

A mantra has main sections and sub-clauses, just like a building has cornerstones and decorations. The master can change the pattern, but will not shake the pillars, and art always has infinite possibilities.

"Since the possibilities are endless, in the world of music, will I also meet Voldemort?"

"Yes. One day, you'll hear Pogorelic play."

.

In terms of playing skills, Bogo is already impeccable. At this level, if we only talk about technique, it is craftsmanship. The key lies in the performer's understanding of the music.

What is understanding? It’s actually the emotions that are felt.

The first song at the beginning of "Zhuo Yang's Magical Dream" is the key to the entire magical romanticism - "Magic Code".

This is a prelude to a song that celebrates love and the fight against suffering, and eternal life in fire, but Pogorelic conveys a profound and extraordinary tranquility in the midst of suffering.

a thousand reader with a thousand hamurate. In fact, you don’t need to understand classical music to listen to it, nor do you need to listen to other people’s explanations.

Don't explain music in a literary or artistic way. Music is an art of hearing. Feeling the beauty of pure hearing is the most important way to appreciate it.

"Sonata No. 14, First Movement", starting from the first note, the ancient power in Pogorelic's heart seems to burst out. The pedal processing in the song is also more decisive, as if it is breaking the music into pieces.

A feeling that is sometimes gentle but broken, sometimes struggling and brutal, emerges from the music. Perhaps Bo Ge wants to tear off the surface and remind people of Zhuoyang's sometimes ferocious and sometimes springy expression when he composed these tracks.

The concert attracted the attention of the world's classical music community, including Ali Vardi, Carl Norman, Maurizio Pollini, Maria João Pires, Uta Weyand, Stanislav Yudanich, Louis Keltner, etc., these past division commanders and current colleagues, they all came in person.

There are also Zubin Mehta, Riccardo Muti, Marta Argerich and many industry heavyweights, and of course Mark Winston, Elena Grimaud, Sean Chap Common friends like Man and Warner Saroyan.

Three new young pianists, Angelica Giannini, Andrea Molteni and Judy Yaugira, are Zhuo Yang’s best students.

Zhuoyang's family members will not be absent, and Kou Kou sometimes frowns, and sometimes looks frightened.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand the ideological connotation that classical music wants to express, because music is an art of emotions.

The most important way to appreciate music is to feel the indescribable, indescribable delicacy and subtlety of your pure heart, and to touch your instant emotional feelings.

Music has never had a standard answer. It can move you and cause fluctuations in your heart. It is a good piece of music, and the emotions it brings are your standard answer.

Classical music is much more complex than pop music.

At first glance, it seems that not only is it incomprehensible, but it is also difficult to listen to.

The rhythm of pop music is fixed, four-four is four-four, and four-three is four-three, while classical music is full of variations and polyphony, and the rhythm jumps and changes at any time.

Everyone has their own aesthetic principles, but one thing is definitely in common: simple things are easy to get tired of, while complex things are more niche, but they are deeper and have longer vitality.

Everyone's aesthetics will change with age, rich life experience, and emotional precipitation. In other words, people's aesthetic threshold will gradually become higher.

This is just like the point of laughter. At first, "Once upon a time there was a donkey" can make people laugh out of breath, but after watching too many jokes and watching enough short videos, eventually the rabbit can imitate the donkey's braying and can't scratch at all. It's not your point of laughter.

When people's aesthetic threshold increases and reaches a certain level, they will naturally move from online literature to traditional literature, from pop music to light music and even classical music.

What should I do if I’m not used to it? The more you listen, the more you'll get used to it.

.

Real pianists are averse to cookie-cutter imitation, yet when musicians break free from constraints, people are intimidated and refuse to accept it.

Bogo can't live without being crazy, and he has jumped to extremes, but his extremeness and playing personality are indeed very suitable for performing magical romanticism.

Only Zhuo Yang's magical music can convince such an unruly genius.

Bogo told the media: "If a Martian comes to our planet, he wants to explore the planet's most profound culture out of curiosity, and wants to bring back the most representative of the highest honor of our culture and the best reflection of human research results. Rare treasures, I will recommend these 22 piano pieces by Zhuo Yang to him without hesitation."

Zhuoyang said: "Ivo's performance is not sentimental, but it is extremely brilliant. The tragic fragments in the first and fourth movements, the ominous, complex Scherzo movement, and the focused Largo movement have achieved great success. Balance. In Largo, time seemed to have stopped. His playing took my breath away."

In the last piece of the concert, "Rhapsody No. 17, Fourth Movement", Bogo used incredible slow speed, deep breath, oppressive musical tension, and a touching method that seemed to put every note under a magnifying glass. , gave the audience in the Palatine Opera House a great shock.

When the last bass roared down, Pogorelic broke the piano strings.

He is indeed a 'heavyweight' master. With this arm strength, finger strength, and powerful penetrating power, you will definitely be a master at practicing the 'Nine Yin White Bone Grasping'.

In the shocking silence of the audience, Zhuo Yang, who was sitting in the first row, stood up and applauded, followed by thunderous applause from the entire audience.

"Zhuoyang's Magical Dream" was a huge success.

Before today, Zhuo Yang was a piano master, and after today, he is a grandmaster.

In 2018, Hanyin University, Miyin Academy, Bayin Academy, Royal Mayin Academy, and Royal Beiyin Academy successively added courses on the magical romantic style to their respective piano departments.

Later, many music schools around the world followed suit.

He declined the proposal from five music schools to hold the ‘Zhuoyang Piano Competition’. It's still too early now, I'm still young, I'll wait and see.

Bogotá has his own name for the ‘Pogorelic Piano Competition’, which was held for the first time at the Paladin Opera House in London. The first place winner at that time was Daiwan female pianist Chen Yuxiang. She was known as the ‘Pride of the Treasure Island’.

"Zhuo Yang's Magical Dream" came to a successful conclusion. After Zhuo Yang and his colleagues in the classical music industry spent a day in London, they returned to Manchester United and the world of football.

He is complete, but Manchester City is not. The second match of the Premier League, which was held at the same time as the concert, was tied 1:1 by Burnley.
