The world's number one pianist

Sun Haoran, male, PhD student of Professor Dan Yi, has the same research direction as He Shen, both of which focus on Chopin's works, and also conduct research and analysis on the music of other composers. Read М

However, compared with practice, his theoretical knowledge is much richer, much richer.

After all... he is a doctoral student who can take the doctoral exam and be admitted to Professor Dan Yi. In addition to the theoretical knowledge of music, his English and other subjects not related to music are very strong.

So, as usual, he still came to school at about eight o'clock every morning, walked to the family area behind the school, greeted Professor Dan Yi first, and then continued to study and practice the works.

Everything is no different from his daily life, coming to school in the same way, practicing the same major, listening to other people's albums in the same way, and going home to sleep in the same way.

There is only one difference, that is, Professor Dan Yi gave him a task recently.

He needs to analyze Chopin's works specifically, choose one, analyze all the recordings on the market, and then compare and analyze.

Analyze which piece is played better, what is the better part, which part of this piece is played badly, and why is it not played well.

Originally, this matter is a small matter with no difficulty, which can be completed very easily, and you can even do it by dabbling...

But! Professor Dan Yi asked Sun Haoran to collect all the works he thought were good on the market. Not only do you need to analyze the works of masters, but you also need to analyze the works of non-masters!

Therefore, the workload has become extremely huge.

After hesitating for a moment, Sun Haoran chose Chopin's Polonaise.

He originally thought that the number of people who played Polonaise might be a little less, but obviously, reality slapped him in the face fiercely.

Sun Haoran looked blankly at the dozens of pages of Polonaise in front of him, and began to fall into self-doubt...

"Fuck, my God... this online, uh... how come so many people have played this piece? This is too much, right? It's really a headache..."

He quickly ran to the office, poured himself a cup of coffee, and looked at the works in front of him with a painful face.

On the Internet, in addition to many good works, there are also many shoddy works mixed in!

Looking at these works, Sun Haoran was full of complaints.

"Hey, what are you talking about? How can anyone do this? A lot of people put their practice works online. They really have no shame at all. Can't they play them well and then post them?"

"Ah, for example, this one, it's like a diary. What is it playing? There are so many mistakes, it's disgusting. Even the most basic notes in his works are wrong? How dare he put it online to increase my workload?

"Just tell me how such works can appear on the Internet. Doesn't the person who posted this work feel a little guilty? Ah, doesn't he feel embarrassed? Why put such works online? ”

Although... Sun Haoran knows that these are very common phenomena.

After all, he often puts his unfinished works on the Internet, and then sees how others will comment on his works, and sometimes he will feel a little superior.

For example, he can play better than a lot of people just for fun. Doesn't this feel good?

Especially when he comments that someone's playing is lousy, that person will retort, then you play?

Sun Haoran likes this kind of answer the most. He directly takes the piano score and sight-reads it, and throws it in the person's face, telling him that he can play better than him just by sight-reading.

This feeling is so good!

But...when he really went to find good works on the Internet himself, he found the disadvantages of this matter.

Too many works of different levels appeared on the Internet, which created countless obstacles for his work.

He needs to listen to each work roughly, and only after listening to all of them can he judge whether this group of works is a good work.

Because at this time, you can't use the so-called, listen to the beginning to judge the quality of a first-hand work, and use this to judge the excellence of the work.

But Professor Yi needs him to listen to all the works he has Pick out the good parts, no matter whether the whole work is good or bad, you need to look at it again.

Maybe? Maybe there is a shining point in the overall lousy work that can surprise other people's works?

Therefore, no matter how reluctant he is, Sun Haoran needs to look at those works as a whole to see if there are good parts in this work.

However... this is when the problem comes...

In most of the works that he thinks are rubbish, there is no shining part that makes him feel!

His professional ethics makes him unwilling to give up any work and just run over it.

But for such a little bit, extremely rare, excellent part in the rubbish work...

Sun Haoran feels that his time is not worth wasting.

Moreover, there are many parts in the work that he thinks is good at the beginning that he thinks are not good. He also cannot directly award the whole work to Professor Dan Yi. He needs to pick out the bad parts of this work with special effort.

Therefore, his workload is so large that he feels a little outrageous.

Sun Haoran doesn't know whether he chose this topic correctly, and even considered asking Professor Dan Yi to change to another topic for research.

Fortunately, although there are many rubbish works on the Internet, there are still some that can be listened to, especially those works of masters, which make him feel extremely happy.

"Sure enough, listening to the works of masters is a pleasure. Look at what those people talk about? Can't they talk a little better? Just take these masters, they are really masters' works, they are really masters, so shocking."

"If everyone on the Internet is a master, how great it would be, so I don't have to work hard to find a better version on the Internet, but can just pick it at will..."

"What a pity, what a pity, but... why did Professor Dan Yi let me choose such a topic?"

"Find common points from the excellence of all works?"

"Or..."

As Sun Haoran was talking, the mouse found He Shen's account, "He Shen's Piano Classroom".

Seeing this name, his first reaction was to sneer and point at the name on it and complain.

"Fuck... why would someone name the account He Shen's Piano Classroom? Why don't you call it He Shen's Baby Bus?"

"Your name looks like it's either a preschool account or a public account... Why would a public account have such a, uh, how should I put it... such a childish name?"

"This kind of name makes people not want to click in, okay, didn't the operator consider this?"

Although Sun Haoran was complaining, he didn't just click out and give up, but chose to continue to click on He Shen's audio. While complaining, he moved his hand to the play button and clicked the play button.

This has become his body's instinctive reaction.

After all, this is the homework given to him by the professor. Even if he knows that this work is not good, he needs to click in and watch it at the first time to see whether this work is good or not.

Just when Sun Haoran was complaining about this work, the sound of He Shen's piano came from his speakers.

When...

A very dark color came to his face, and Sun Haoran's voice of complaint immediately became much lower. He raised his head blankly and looked at the picture in front of him.

Wait, this is... He Shen's piano classroom?

Sun Haoran felt that his brain was not enough, so he immediately pressed pause and switched to the background to see if he had opened any other music playback software.

Obviously, in his background, there was no other music playback software except this piece, which means...

"Could it be that the sound just now came from this public account?"

"How... is this possible?"

"No, no, no, this sound is too beautiful, how could it be made by this work that is similar to the public account?"

"No, no, no..."

Sun Haoran poked his forehead with his index finger, trying to wake himself up.

But...

"Who the hell can wake up? Your public account played the beginning, so awesome???"

Sun Haoran stood up from his seat suddenly, looking at the page in front of him, which said "He Shen's Piano Classroom", and panted hard.

This performance has basically reached the top level in China, higher than his level!

He could tolerate the fact that a master-level person played better than him, after all, this was normal, he was a master, there was no problem.

But this... He looked like a person from a public account, and his playing was almost at the level of a master, what the hell?

Isn't this just slapping his face on the ground?

He is a doctor, with Chopin as his main research direction, and he is also Dan Yi, the strongest Chopin player in China!

He couldn't even beat a public account whose name he didn't know?

Sun Haoran was a little mad, but soon he calmed down, looked at the player in front of him, and nodded secretly.

"Maybe, maybe he just has a better beginning, and the rest is average? Right? This is entirely possible! After all, I have seen many people with a good beginning... right?"

Sun Haoran whispered guiltily, his eyes dodging.

Those people who played better at the beginning that he had seen before, their beginnings were not as amazing as this.

It was just a chord at the beginning, with color, temperature, gloom, timidity, and the power to force himself to move forward, as well as the indomitable spirit of the people around him.

One sound completely encompasses all of this!

Basically, only those at the master level can do this...

Sun Haoran pursed his lips, dragged the progress bar of the player back to the beginning, and then continued to click to play.

Boom...

Another chord, just like before, the simple chord included many things that were difficult to describe, which made Sun Haoran's body tremble.

Then, the dissonant chord gradually increased.

This feeling of increasing intensity?

Wait, this feeling?

Sun Haoran was shocked again, this feeling, isn't it great? ? ?

Other people's crescendos may be like the crescendo of a ladder, but He Shen's crescendo is completely different from others! ! !

This feeling is like a ramp, a very smooth ramp, just like this, directly, very clearly, and clearly, slowly pushing the emotions upward!

"Oh my god, oh my god, I'm so fucking..."

Sun Haoran paused the playback, stood up again, and kept wandering around. He couldn't suppress his restless heart.

"Who is this person? A new generation pianist? Or an old generation pianist?"

"The old generation pianists shouldn't be like this. Although his works are very mature, they still lack a little background. His background is not enough, so he shouldn't be from the old generation..."

"After all, the sounds played by the old generation have the characteristics of their time. This He Shen shouldn't have..."

"So is he a new generation pianist?"

Sun Haoran stood firm, raised his head and looked at the ceiling, rubbed his chin with his fingers, and began to think seriously.

"This feeling should not be like the golden generation more than ten years ago, so he should be our latest pianist of this generation. Who are our latest pianists of this generation..."

"Wuzhou's Yue Li? No, that's not right. Yue Li's voice is obviously more delicate, and Yue Li can't play Chopin. His Chopin always has a little bit of Liszt's flavor, the kind of Chopin that makes you jump up and hit people!"

"Zhongzhou's Pei Qi? No, that's not right. I know Pei Qi is very strong, but Pei Qi's Chopin obviously can't play this kind of flavor. Pei Qi is good at works from the classical period, such as Beethoven..."

"Haicheng's Fu Diao? He..."

Sun Haoran thought about it and finally shook his head.

"Fu Diao is not bad either. His best works are Bach and Chopin. Although I don't want to belittle him, I have to admit that Fu Diao's Chopin is not as good as the one who plays Chopin in He Shen's piano classroom..."

"Zhongzhou Pei Qi, Wuzhou Yue Li, Haicheng Fu Diao, and this He Shen who came out of nowhere, who is better?"

Sun Haoran shook his head and threw this thought aside. His focus now is not to study the three leading young people in the country and He Shen who came out of nowhere. His focus now is to analyze the works played by He Shen.

Sun Haoran looked around, stretched his body, and then took a long breath, returned to his seat, and continued to listen to He Shen's next performance.

Three consecutive ups, each up gives people a completely different feeling.

This feeling made Sun Haoran almost pause again, and then he got up to vent his inner excitement.

Fortunately, he held back and continued to stop.

In just a few minutes of the work, Sun Haoran had no idea how many times he wanted to stand up and yell at the air.

Why, there is a person who has never heard of, who can play Chopin like this?

Why, he can play Chopin like this, but he is still not famous?

Why... he is so strong, and I am so weak, helpless, and pitiful...

An inexplicable emotion accumulated in Sun Haoran's heart, making him clench his fists, then let go, clench again, and let go again.

After doing this several times, he sighed.

"This person is really awesome, why is there no news about this person? I think he can definitely compete for the strongest person of the Chinese generation!"

"Although Pei Qi from Zhongzhou and Fu Diao from Haicheng have both gone abroad, there is a feeling that Yue Li is the only one in China..."

"But this person's strength is definitely not inferior to the other two!"

Sun Haoran clenched his fists hard, then opened the search software and began to search for He Shen's name.

He would never believe that someone could be so good and still be unknown!

As expected, Sun Haoran breathed a sigh of relief after seeing He Shen's name on the search software.

It was obvious that He Shen was not an unknown person. He was actually a very good pianist, but he was just too ignorant.

"He Shen, male, assistant teacher at Jiangzhou Normal University, graduated from Wuzhou Conservatory of Music, Golden Piano Award champion!"

"Golden Piano Award... champion..."

Sun Haoran lay on the armchair behind him, looking at the snow-white ceiling, his mind empty.

The Golden Piano Award is the top award in China. It is awarded once every four years for piano and violin, and can be regarded as extremely authoritative.

Unfortunately, this award is limited to students from domestic music colleges.

I tried to apply for a global competition and join the Global Music Competition Alliance before, but it was rejected.

Therefore, this top domestic award eventually became a touchstone in China. Even if you win the first place, not many people will care, and no one will promote you because you won the gold medal of a domestic award...

It is a pity that such a powerful person has no fame at all.

In fact, when I saw him for the first time, I thought he was just an ordinary marketing account!

If this person is given a powerful platform, he will definitely soar to the sky!

Sun Haoran looked at He Shen's message, nodded, then reached out to return the previous music player, opened He Shen's personal homepage, and clicked on all his works.

The moment he saw all the works, his heart couldn't help but jump.

Sure enough, this person...

definitely has the capital to rush to the world!

At this moment, all of He Shen's works were neatly placed in front of Sun Haoran.

Chopin's Piano Ballade No. 1 in G minor.

Chopin Piano Ballade No. 2 in F major.

Chopin's Piano Ballade No. 3 in A flat major.
