The world's number one pianist

Chapter 79 Chopin's First Piano Concerto (4000)

He Shen's voice was not loud, but very firm. Read М

The entire concert hall was very quiet. Except for those who sat at the farthest point, almost everyone else heard He Shen's speech.

They looked at each other blankly, with a little uncertainty in their eyes.

"Uh, what does this mean? Opening announcement?"

"I don't know... I don't quite understand."

"Maybe it means that we should listen to his performance carefully?"

...

Most people didn't know what He Shen was thinking, but at the same time, some people knew exactly what He Shen meant by this sentence.

He Shen wanted them to listen carefully to his performance and see whether he needed to rely on other people or external forces to get the first place.

After hearing He Shen's speech, a group of people's faces gradually became ugly, and a group of people's faces gradually became strange, with a hint of interest in their eyes.

Wang Jianguo, who was standing on the side, also understood He Shen's thoughts instantly, but there was only a little helplessness in his eyes.

When he was playing accompaniment with He Shen before, he didn't mention this matter at all, just because he was afraid that this matter would distract him.

Unexpectedly, in the end, it was still mentioned by that bastard.

He Shen didn't care what other people thought. He walked directly to Wang Jianguo, nodded to him, and sat on the piano stool.

He adjusted the height up and down so that his arms could touch the keys at about 120 degrees.

He adjusted the distance forward and backward so that his fingers could naturally fall in the center of the piano keyboard.

After his body was able to adapt to the piano, He Shen took a piece of white cloth from the side and quickly touched the piano.

He wiped off all the grease and sweat secreted by the previous person when he played.

Then, he took out a lollipop from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and nodded to Wang Jianguo again.

It took him a long time to do all this, and it was not done very quickly, but everyone was waiting for him quietly.

After receiving He Shen's signal, Wang Jianguo sighed and turned his body to face everyone in the band.

The baton in his hand was slightly raised, and everyone in the band immediately understood that this piece was about to begin.

They immediately picked up their instruments, put them in front of them, and waited for Wang Jianguo's signal.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Wang Jianguo took a deep breath, and according to the idea that He Shen had given him during the rehearsal, he opened his hands outward and waved them vigorously.

Buzz!

The sound of the band sounded immediately.

Everyone in the band instantly recalled the feeling of being dominated by He Shen before, so their bodies naturally played the beginning of this piece more exaggeratedly!

This exaggerated feeling refreshed all the audience!

They looked at the band in front of them in disbelief, their eyes full of exploration.

This sound, this sound is different from before?

The sound of the band before was completely conventional, and the current band has a bit of a rebellious feeling.

Compared with other works, it is more exaggerated and less willing to converge.

Is Chopin really supposed to be played like this?

The sound of the band gradually weakened, and He Shen placed his hand on the piano and took a deep breath.

Then he pressed it hard.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

Several chords were hit hard!

Then there was a rapid upward movement.

That extremely strong feeling, unique to Chopin, instantly surged towards everyone like a wave.

There was no doubt in their hearts immediately.

Chopin, that's how it should be!

At this moment, He Shen's performance on the stage was like a volcano.

Every bit of his emotion, every bit of his strength, made this magma-like music flow more rapidly.

This rapidity was well hidden under this volcano, perfectly wrapping up everyone's emotions.

The band was no longer Wang Jianguo's band at this moment.

The band was now controlled by He Shen!

This is He Shen's band!

The emotions of everyone in the band immediately surrounded He Shen tightly, allowing him to control it.

This emotion climbed up step by step, advancing layer by layer.

The timbre of the harmony also became brighter and brighter!

This strong sense of contrast instantly swept all the audience.

This is Chopin! The person playing on the stage, he is the real Chopin!

He is not He Shen, who has no background, nor is he any other identity. He has only one identity in everyone's mind at this moment.

He is Chopin!

The melody part moves quickly among all the parts, extremely light and agile.

A large number of cadenzas cover the melody part, but the melody part is still extremely clear and visible.

The chord decomposition of the right hand and the harmony of the left hand are pulled hard.

Everything makes the music color extremely gorgeous.

In the end, the band followed the piano and brought the whole work to the final peak!

Boom!

An extremely strong emotion instantly swept everyone, making them a little dazed for a while.

They even felt that they should applaud hard at this time and cheer for this first movement.

But their musical literacy prevented them from having this extremely ridiculous idea and pressed them tightly in their seats.

He Shen's hand slowly took off from the piano, and at this time everyone coughed and gasped a few times.

He Shen's performance just now was so horrible that they couldn't even breathe. This feeling was really desperate.

However, for some reason, they still wanted to experience it again.

Therefore, the originally extremely quiet concert hall became a little noisy like a vegetable market at this moment.

Fortunately, everyone soon discovered this and immediately put away their voices, allowing the concert hall to return to its previous calm.

Now, it's the turn of the second movement!

He Shen closed his eyes and felt the remaining power in the band.

That was the power of the first movement. This power was completely different from the second movement, so they had to wait until this power dissipated and the emotions slowed down before continuing.

He Shen waited for a while, and after the emotions of the first movement completely dissipated, he nodded and began to quickly scan the information of the second movement in his mind.

Chopin's First Piano Concerto, the second movement is a romance.

In a letter to his friend, Vojciechowski, Chopin wrote about his feelings about the second movement.

"It shouldn't be powerful, it should be romantic, calm, melancholy, it should create an impression, the impression of a kind look at a place that can evoke hundreds of warm memories in the beautiful spring, but it is a kind of thinking under the moonlight, so I accompany it with muted instruments."

This feeling is also deeply engraved in He Shen's memory of Chopin, so he also knows very well how to play this second movement!

He Shen immediately nodded to Wang Jianguo again, indicating that he could start the second movement.

After receiving He Shen's signal, Wang Jianguo also nodded. He shook his arm slightly at the string part beside him. The string part immediately understood his idea and played the second movement very softly.

Hazy, romantic.

It was weaker and more exaggerated than the accompaniment for others before.

He Shen closed his eyes and sank his arms slightly.

He abandoned other touch timbres, and he would completely use the gravity of his fingers and arms to play this piece.

When...

The extremely gentle sound flowed slowly through everyone's heart like a clear spring.

"This feeling? My God...this timbre???"

"Fuck, can a human play this timbre?"

"Why is there such a beautiful timbre?"

"What is this?"

"Oh my god..."

...

Everyone got goosebumps instantly, this sound was so beautiful!

It was so beautiful that they forgot all the previous performances, and only this piece remained in their hearts.

They really felt the beauty of the music.

He Shen's arms swayed slowly like ripples under rowing.

The music lines instantly merged into the band.

The band also divided the timbre of this second movement very clearly, and performed it together with the piano.

The emotions were like overflowing water, shocking almost everyone.

This feeling is really great!

He Shen closed his eyes, and he began to enjoy the music he played, and his fingers gradually became lighter and lighter.

Finally, in the last four bars, the sound became weaker and weaker, like clouds and mist, and the second movement came to an end.

The second movement ended slowly in silence.

Obsession, intoxication.

Everyone was lost in the beautiful illusion created by He Shen and couldn't extricate themselves.

Before everyone came back to their senses from the second movement, He Shen raised his hand and gave Wang Jianguo a look.

At this time, we should not continue to pause, but take advantage of this residual heat to make everyone happy with a strong impact and usher in the final third movement!

The third movement is the most challenging place!

Double theme rondo form, extremely strong dance, the most technical movement.

Therefore, He Shen didn't want his own state to be affected by any little bit, he wanted to start the third movement immediately!

He Shen immediately took out a lollipop from his pocket and put it in his mouth. After the band's prelude was over and the bass part was played,

He Shen immediately placed his hands on the piano very lightly, and plucked it gently, and the sound of the piano rang out instantly.

Buzz...

The theme appeared very lightly, followed by repeated many times.

He Shen bit his teeth hard, this repetition was the most tiring part!

It's not difficult to play, but difficult to interpret.

Repeating the same thing many times will make all the audience tired.

So, at this place...

He Shen's eyes became more and more serious, and the movements of his fingers became lighter and lighter. The layers of rondo themes were repeated, and the layers were very clear.

All the emotions were gradually increasing bit by bit.

This feeling made every audience member open their eyes.

Every repetition is a new interpretation.

Every new interpretation contains a new understanding.

This understanding of the work...

It's terrifying!

He Shen's hands ran quickly on the piano, and the monotonous piano texture became richer at this moment, and the melody became more prominent.

The layers of sound were very obvious.

The textures of the left and right hand parts are intertwined, and the melody is exceptionally gorgeous.

The band followed the piano like a drumbeat. The collision between long and short phrases and the changes in different connections made the humorous nature of this piece extremely prominent.

The melody hidden in the inner voice was like a kaleidoscope, blooming with brilliant colors.

The rapid transition between medium-strong mf and medium-weak mp gradually pulled back the originally exaggerated interpretation.

However, during this emotional transition, everyone noticed one thing, that is, there was a force brewing in the band!

The internal energy was constantly accumulating, and it was modulated upward in a step-by-step manner many times, with a series of sixteenth notes played synchronously by the left and right hands.

Everyone knew that when this emotion broke out, it would announce the final end of the music.

Everyone's eyes and attention were all focused on He Shen and the band, waiting for the most splendid scene.

Wang Pei clenched his fists tightly, stared at He Shen, and whispered in his mouth.

"At the last moment, there must be no problem, the final peak..."

All the judges moved forward, a little nervous.

"Do you think he can finish perfectly at the last moment?"

"He Shen has been laying the groundwork for so long, he must be able to do it. If he doesn't finish it well at the end, then the whole work will be completely wasted."

"Yes, the emotions in this place have been rendered. If he doesn't finish it well at the end, then..."

"But he rendered it too hard. Can he really end this master-level work in an extremely perfect state?"

"Now, we can only wish him well..."

...

All the judges looked at each other. There was no other thought in their eyes, only expectation.

They are all the top talents in various music colleges and the top talents in the Chinese music industry.

Compared with their own gains and losses, they would rather see a master-level work appear in front of them.

In front of them, there is once again a person who can lead the entire Chinese classical music industry to continue!

He Shen didn't know their expectations. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much. His full attention was on the piece he was playing.

Finally, there was only one last point left. As long as this last point could be completed, this piece would be close to perfection!

He Shen gritted his teeth and used all his strength. He ignored the fatigue in his body and concentrated all his strength on his arms, palms, and fingers.

Boom!

The E major ascending scale, the emotions reached the final peak!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The last three sounds, the perfect ensemble of the band and the piano, the emotions burst out instantly, and stirred in this huge concert hall.

Whether it was the audience or the judges, they couldn't bear it anymore. Before the sound of the music completely fell, they stood up suddenly and shouted loudly at the stage.

"Bravo!"

"Bravo!"

"Bravo!"

Except Bravo, they couldn't think of any other words to describe this piece!

They could only vent their excitement with thunderous applause.

This was a master-level piece, Chopin's First Piano Concerto!
