The world's number one pianist

Chapter 258 This is the Passionate Sonata!

Boom!

Thunderous applause rang out as He Shen stepped onto the stage.

Everyone focused their eyes on He Shen, revealing an expectant look.

He Shen, a domestic Golden Piano Award winner, debuted with the Golden Piano Award and soared into the Jiangzhou Normal University Conservatory of Music.

His students also won the first place in the first semester of the China Higher Music Education Competition that year!

Not only that, in the following years, they led the Jiangzhou Normal University Conservatory of Music to conquer the city every year, making Jiangzhou Normal University, which was originally ranked high in China, become the top conservatory of music in China.

Afterwards, He Shen represented China in the Chopin International Piano Competition. For a whole month, he fought in this arena composed of countless top world-class piano performers and finally won the first place.

And the second and third place winners who competed with him at the time are now all showing their strength in this world.

Liu Yu, a pianist signed by Universal, has just started a concert tour around the world.

Kyohei Fantian was signed by Sunny Music, established his own music studio, held concerts around Japan in Japan, and is moving towards the world market.

These people have recently been extremely outstanding and dazzling on the world stage, leaving everyone impressed.

So what about He Shen? As a top pianist who defeated these people, what kind of musical interpretation can he make?

Therefore, everyone focused their attention on He Shen, waiting for He Shen's interpretation.

And He Shen stood in the center of the stage and looked at the people under the stage.

It was crowded, and all the seats were full.

Looking at so many people, he couldn't help but smile slightly, put his hand on the edge of the piano, and bowed to everyone.

Then, without any extra movements, he turned around and sat on the piano stool very neatly, and quickly adjusted the front and back height of the seat.

Then, he raised his fingers and stood at a height of less than one centimeter from the keys.

Buzz...

In the concert hall, all the sounds disappeared instantly.

No one dared to disturb He Shen's interpretation at this time.

Now, this stage, this space.

All of this is He Shen's territory!

When the last sound from the audience seats disappeared, He Shen's fingers fell.

With the slightest gravitational potential energy, He Shen's fingers fell and landed on the piano.

Dang, dang, dangdang, drip, dang, dangdang, dangdang...

The sound of the theme of the Goldberg Variations slowly flowed out of the piano.

Soft and soothing, everyone's body was relaxed involuntarily.

There were still some people who were leaning forward to listen to He Shen's interpretation of the music.

But now, all of them leaned their bodies on the back of the seat to relax their bodies.

The music was so soothing that they could not feel any tension.

All their emotions flowed slowly with He Shen's interpretation.

Some people who were particularly knowledgeable could not help but flicker.

In this place, the transparency of He Shen's fingers was too strong!

If I am not mistaken, this place is a very, very obvious French school!

The French school focuses on the musicians and composers' interpretation of the music, and through their own performance, the composer's intention is perfectly displayed.

At this moment, He Shen is interpreting Bard's Goldberg Variations with the same interpretation as the French school!

The theme, aria, and sarabande, which appeared in the collection of songs written by Bach for his wife, are soft and graceful as a whole.

The variation is based on the basso continuo as the main melody direction, followed by the overall variation.

It is different from the theme at the beginning.

And He Shen used many different interpretations in each variation.

Each interpretation makes the beauty of the music as perfect as possible!

This is what He Shen got in Europe!

Everyone listened to He Shen's Goldberg Variations, and the emotions in their hearts surged wildly.

He Shen's interpretation of music is very strong.

Just this Goldberg Variations, the interpretation of music in it makes it almost impossible for them to find any mistakes.

Strong, very strong!

Strong to the point of being indescribable.

This strength...

Everyone looked at each other and dared not say a word.

This strength is worthy of being the first place in the Chopin International Piano Competition.

Even if he did not play Chopin, his strength should not be underestimated.

According to some insiders, some of Chopin's works will still be interpreted in this performance.

So in this case...

Can they really see how deep He Shen's understanding of Chopin is?

Everyone didn't know, but... they were looking forward to it.

He Shen's Goldberg Variations didn't take too long to play.

If you listen to the whole set of this work, it will take about an hour.

But if you just simply select a few of them and reorganize them, it doesn't take that much time.

Therefore, He Shen only interpreted it for half an hour and finished this Goldberg Variations.

As He Shen finished his Goldberg Variations, he stood up slowly, and everyone immediately gave him an extremely warm applause.

During this time, he breathed hard, which he had not dared to breathe loudly for half an hour before, to make his body more comfortable and wait for the next performance.

He Shen turned back to the backstage, took the water handed over by the staff, and the lollipops placed in this place in advance, rested for a while, calmed his emotions, and turned to the direction he was going to play next.

He Shen did not like competitions. Competitions were more devastating to a musician than anything else.

He required musicians to move in the direction that the judges liked, rather than in the direction of the musicians' personal interpretation.

Therefore, He Shen really disliked competitions very much.

This was also the concept he had always maintained when he was in school.

If you can avoid participating in competitions, don't participate in competitions.

At that time, he was not particularly happy with the school because of this matter.

Of course, it might just be his own unhappiness, not the school.

Compared with competitions, concerts can be regarded as very relaxing.

At least, He Shen can now finish playing a piece and then take a short break, eat some lollipops, drink some water, etc.

After He Shen let his emotions change a little, he stood there and rubbed his hands, nodding to the staff.

The staff did not hesitate and reached out to open the sliding door of the stage.

He Shen looked at the stage in front of him and took a deep breath.

Next, it was Beethoven's Appassionata Sonata, the direction for his future progress.

There must be no mistakes in this piece!

He Shen's eyes were fixed and he stepped out.

Boom!

The applause rang out again!

This time, He Shen did not bow to everyone again, but sat directly on the piano bench.

Everyone quickly quieted down.

He Shen looked at the piano in front of him, letting his emotions gradually surge and become more passionate.

The previous Goldberg Variations may require the performer to keep his emotions calm.

Then, the performer is required to play as much musical expression as possible within the smallest possible volume change range.

But this one is different from the previous one.

This one, Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 23, Op. 57, Appassionata Sonata!

The most passionate of them all is this emotion!

This emotion can burn the stage.

When He Shen's emotions reached a certain height, he suddenly opened his eyes, prostrated himself on the piano keyboard, and slowly pressed his hands down with an extremely pious attitude.

Dang... Dangdang.

It was like the beginning of everything.

All the sounds around disappeared in an instant.

In the entire concert hall, all that could be heard was the extremely heavy chord decomposition!

The chord first went down, and then immediately climbed up.

At the highest point, it suddenly fell to the bottom.

An indescribable emotion surged from the piano.

Everyone looked at He Shen in front of them, their eyes widened.

This, this feeling?

It was just a beginning, just a very ordinary beginning.

He Shen was able to use his skills to push the emotion of this piece directly to an imaginable height.

Obscure, bleak.

But in this obscurity, it is full of vitality and enthusiasm.

Two completely different emotions, but they merged into the same sound.

This feeling made everyone not know what to say for a while.

In their minds, only shock and amazement remained.

Shocked by He Shen's interpretation of music.

Amazed by He Shen's understanding of music.

This is just the beginning.

It's just the beginning!

He Shen's hand did not stop at all.

His hand moved upwards by a minor second, from the original f minor to G flat major!

And at this moment, the bright and upright feeling of the major key came to mind!

Contrast, an extremely strong contrast.

An extremely strong contrast with the darkness of the previous minor key!

In this G flat major key, there is not only brightness and enthusiasm, but also a hint of obscurity in this brightness.

It's like the two are completely swapped!

Dong, Dong, Dong, Da...

The four notes of the left hand, Re, Re, Re, Do, are like tombstones, rooted in the ground.

When the right hand repeats again, it is like heaven calling to the world!

Dong Dong Dong Da...

Another sound...

The strong contrast of the minor second, at this time, turned into the emotion of the major second.

The tense feeling was obviously relieved at this time.

When the right hand repeated the left hand, the emotion was also relieved.

The two are talking.

The two are echoing!

Heaven and hell.

Light and darkness.

Hope and despair...

All emotions are changing rapidly in the constant exchange between the left and right hands.

He Shen did not stop at the change between the interpretation of the musical emotions.

The emotions in every place are interpreted perfectly.

This is just a beginning!

And this is He Shen's strength!

From the beginning, he was able to completely grasp the emotions of all the audience!

Yue Li was stunned.

Fu Diao was stunned.

Pei Qi was stunned...

All the teachers of the younger generation were stunned. They could not imagine that He Shen, who was about the same age as them, was so strong.

The students of Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music were full of excitement.

The students of Haicheng Conservatory of Music looked ugly.

The students of Huaguo Conservatory of Music did not know what to do.

Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music was excited about their teacher, who was so strong.

Moreover, such a teacher was about to become the dean of their piano department!

Some students of Haicheng Conservatory of Music were regretting.

They felt that Haicheng Conservatory of Music should be stronger than Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music, so they did not consider Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music at all when they were applying for school.

The distance between the two is not far. Even if you take the high-speed rail, it will take more than an hour or nearly two hours to get there.

Although Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music has not shown any edge yet, it is obvious that He Shen is already a hidden danger for their Haicheng Conservatory of Music.

The people from Huaguo Conservatory of Music were far away from Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music, so they did not have such strong hostility.

They just felt that it was a pity that such a top teacher was not in their school.

The emotions of other colleges were also different.

Among these schools, only the people from Wuzhou Conservatory of Music were in a normal mood.

Maybe they were used to it before, but now it didn't matter.

However, no matter how they felt, everyone looked at He Shen who was playing on the stage.

There was only one word in their hearts.

That was...

Strong!

Incomparably strong!

He Shen's strength was worthy of being the champion of the Chopin International Piano Competition.

If they only looked at the two pieces that He Shen was playing now, they could clearly feel that He Shen was stronger than almost all the young generation of pianists in the country.

They even felt that He Shen could even touch Lang Liangyue.

"Is this the strength of a world-class pianist?"

"This control of timbre, this musicality..."

"Everything in the music, everything the composer marked, all done, without any omission."

"The music is always flowing, and the emotions are not reserved. This kind of strength, no matter where it is, is considered top-notch!"

"Four years, these four years of silence are very terrifying, and directly brought He Shen's strength forward by a level!"

"Before, the music He Shen showed was basically only Chopin's music worth listening to, and the others were only good, but not at all to the current level!"

"Indeed, now that this concert is over, it can be fully proved that He Shen's current strength and control of music have reached the level of top pianists!"

"It's a pity that He Shen now only has Chopin. I am looking forward to what direction He Shen will choose in the future?"

"Indeed..."

Everyone looked at He Shen, with expectations in their eyes.

All the magazines, no matter which magazine, the emotions of those reporters were also extremely excited.

He Shen did not disappoint anyone's expectations.

He Shen showed this strength in his first concert.

He can definitely become a world-class pianist.

And his foundation.

Very solid and stable.

Such a solid and stable foundation, coupled with his extremely clear expression.

It is very obvious...

He Shen's strength is extremely terrifying!

He Shen is fully qualified to officially start his music career in China.

In this case, it means...

The music landscape in China may change!

When the group of reporters, or media people, thought of this place, the excitement in their hearts almost overflowed.

In China, a new generation of leaders is about to appear!

They looked at everything around them, and their mood was disturbed by He Shen's extremely strong emotions, which made their hearts surge with countless heroism.

This is He Shen!

Unfortunately, it is now in the concert hall, not suitable for shouting loudly.

Otherwise, they can almost shout a few words here to discover their inner excitement.

He Shen seemed to be able to feel the emotional fluctuations of everyone below, and his hands ran quickly on the piano.

The tension of the piano was displayed vividly!

Swift, wild!

But with a hint of restraint!

All this made all the audience lost in the torrent of uncontrolled emotions.

Confusion, pain, despair, passion, comfort, hope... in He Shen's hands

All the emotions merged together and instantly gushed out in the piano.

No matter who it is, when listening to He Shen's piano, they can hear the emotion they want to hear.

Passion, passion!

Just as the name given to this sonata by outsiders, it makes people's mood quickly excited!

Unyielding resistance, endless struggle!

For life, for ideals, for passion...

Everything is gathered in this sonata.

Gradually, no one dared to breathe loudly at this time.

They all tried to make their breathing sound as small as possible, and looked at He Shen in front of them carefully.

They even felt that if the sound of their breathing was too loud, it was entirely possible to break this perfect harmony.

At this time, no one was thinking about anything unrelated to music.

They forgot everything.

In their hearts, only music remained!

Only this one, the sonata!

Passion!

Sonata!

Only this is the real passion!

The real passion is not like a fool, shouting to the world inexplicably, shouting that my life is in my own hands!

He must contain countless pains, and still have that kind of expectation for the future under various difficulties.

Passion for life and destiny.

Only in this way can it be regarded as a passionate sonata!

He Shen's emotions fluctuated more and more.

He looked at the piano in front of him, and seemed to be able to feel Beethoven's thoughts at the time!

Those so-called standard music, extremely old ideas, require everything to be done according to the rules, and the shackles that bind the continued development of classical music have been shattered for the Appassionata Sonata!

The Appassionata Sonata, like Beethoven's passion for fate, struggled to break free from all constraints.

It defeated the stereotyped impression of the sonata in everyone's mind.

Everything is moving towards the peak of the sonata!

This is the most peak and most perfect piano sonata produced by Beethoven!

Appassionata Sonata!

And He Shen completely and thoroughly interpreted this emotion.

It was extremely passionate!

It made everyone lose the ability to think!

This...

is He Shen's strength!

This!

It is Beethoven!

Appassionata Sonata!
