When Belov walked to the center of the stage, he did not say anything to the audience below. He just smiled and nodded, then walked to the front of the piano and sat down, and began to carefully adjust the distance between the piano bench and the piano.

But the girl who was reporting the show just now continued to smile and said, "First of all, please appreciate the piano piece "The Twelve Meditations of the Holy Infant" composed by the modern pianist Messian." After the report, the girl walked off the stage with the report list in her hand. But to be honest, although she read it according to the name on the list just now, she had never heard of this song. Although she was a student of the piano department, she was not familiar with this modern pianist.

The audience off the stage was roughly aligned with the girl's feelings at this moment. Except for a few teachers from the Central Conservatory of Music and other music schools, most of them were amateur piano students and parents, and some students in school. For these people, when it comes to piano, most of them are works by Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, etc. As for those who know Haydn, Tchaikovsky, Schumann, and Liszt, they are not even good, Messian? These people have never even heard of them. To put it bluntly, most of them come to the concerts for the name of this Bellov pianist. Even if they have never heard of the name of "Belov", this is not important. What is important is just the name of the "pianist".

Lu Wei was not surprised to hear that Bellov's first song was Messian's work. Messian was Bellov's teacher, and Bellov became famous by playing Messian's songs. Although Bellov is not very famous in the piano world, when it comes to playing Messian's songs, Bellov is recognized as an authority.

The Frenchman Clivermessiaen was a composer before and after World War II. Most of his piano music works were religion, nature and love. This song "The Twelve Meditations of the Holy Infant" is one of his representative works of religious works.

Bellov sat in front of the piano, slowly lifted his hands with a large skeleton and placed them on the piano.

Bellov's eyes were soft and focused, and his hands played a very solemn theme. The bass of the left hand, combined with the single column chords of the right hand, creates a solemn religious atmosphere, listening to such music, making people feel as if they are in a church.

The musical atmosphere has not changed for more than four minutes. Bellov's face gradually became a pilgrimage-like expression along with the music.

At this moment, many of the thousands of viewers in the audience showed a hint of impatience on their faces. After all, this extremely abstract modern music is religious, and it is difficult for ordinary people to accept it. Fortunately, the audience is still clear about the basic etiquette of listening to the concert. Although some people don’t like this song, no audience makes a sound.

But after the song ended, the applause in the audience was obviously not as enthusiastic as when Bellov came on stage. No wonder, if it were Debussy's Impressionist works, I'm afraid the audience's reaction would have fallen asleep directly. After all, Lu Wei had several sleeping experiences when listening to those things.

But Lu Wei did not mean to deny Messien's musical achievements in his heart, it was just that musical concept. It was not something that could be accepted by every audience.

Bellov's second song was replaced by Mozart's piano sonata k330. This is a work from Mozart's youth, a sonata in C major. Generally speaking, in concerts, unless it is a special concert by Mozart, there are few pianists who choose Mozart's sonata as the concert's performance. People talk about Mozart. They are more keen on his chamber dramas and operas, or piano concertos, etc. The reason why the piano sonata is left to the shelves is a bit ridiculous. It is just because it is "too simple". Indeed, as a representative figure of the classical music school, Mozart's work

The taste has a more royal atmosphere and is very delicate and elegant. Since there was no modern piano in Mozart's era, the piano used at that time was all arch piano, which is the piano called "harpsichords" by people nowadays. The intensity changes slightly, mainly for single or double-tone running, and rarely use modern piano skills. This is also the reason for its "simplicity". However, Bellov is an exception. As a modern pianist with a modern playing style, Bellov only played before 1900 in public, only Mozart's works, perhaps because Mozart's musical style is in line with his musical philosophy.

Bellov's performance is very subtle. Even if he plays Mozart's sonata, the verses still have a religious serious feeling. The movements on his hands are very regular. It is a standard academic performance method, and he can't tell a trace of his faults perfectly.

The brisk and lively style of this song finally made the slightly disappointed audience on the stage slightly cheer up. Although Bellov's performance was still as serious as a priest in a church, the melody of this song was still acceptable to the audience. As for the parents of the piano boy who just complained about hearing the first song, there was a look of satisfaction in their eyes.

"Yes, this is like a song. What kind of play was playing? Just listening to the dong dong, and it made me almost fall asleep." A man with a child whispered to a viewer next to him.

"That's right, I thought this world-class pianist played so well, but I didn't expect it to be meaningless. It's also called a song." The one next to me said in agreement.

Lu Wei, not far away, naturally heard the two people's **** clearly and shook his head with a smile. Although he did not agree with their statements, he had to admit that if Bellov's performance was still in this style, he would definitely have a dull reaction with the appreciation of these audiences.

In fact, this is also a problem that makes pianists embarrassed. If you play what you like and think is elegant, the audience will not understand, and they will scold you; if you play what they like and popular music, the music critics will laugh at you, let alone the one who sticks to his own ideas and plays these religious music that most people cannot understand.

As Lu Wei expected, Bellov played two modern piano music from Messian. The melody that sounded irregular and was like playing randomly at will made Lu Wei unable to help but show a hint of impatient look. Looking at the audience, many people were already drowsy. It was 8:40 pm at night. Comrade Lao Bei obviously overestimated the audience's appreciation level. Playing this kind of song at this moment was like a lullaby for the audience below. Lu Wei even heard a buddy behind him, who actually snored slightly, and the child beside him, a little boy in his teens, had no intention of waking up his father at all. He was bored, looking at the old man who was playing focusedly in the center of the stage, as if he was wandering around.

"I'm afraid the child's current feeling is almost the same as in the "Society Drama" written by Mr. Lu Xun." Lu Wei thought with some amusement.

Fortunately, this was just a small concert, and soon, Kong Xiangdong and Bellov's double piano "Amen's Fantasy".

"Amen's Fantasy", written by Messian for the double piano, was premiered by himself and Lorio on May 10, 1943. It is a representative work of his religious works. It is played by two world-class masters, Bellov and Kong Xiangdong, and it is deeply rooted in it.

Looking at the two of them playing, Lu Wei finally understood why Kong Xiangdong and Bellov became friends. Their performance styles were too similar, both of them were as serious and implicit. Especially when playing such religious works, the two showed amazing tacit understanding in front of the piano. Therefore, although this work is still not so "liked" in terms of melody, it is obvious that judging from the audience's reaction to this song, they still like it. After all, this form of two people playing a piano is also very new to them.

This is also the last piece played by Bellov in this concert. After the performance, Bellov and Kong Xiangdong stood up at the same time, smiled and bowed to the audience below.

Amid the warm applause, many viewers holding the program list had noticed that this was the last program and had already started to stand up and walk out, but at this time, Bellov's words made them stop again.

"Next, I will invite a child to play on stage for everyone. He is also my good friend, Kong's student, and he is Lu Wei."

"Lu Wei? Who is Lu Wei?" "Kong Xiangdong's student? Why haven't you heard of it?"

Some people who were not very familiar with Lu Wei asked, not understanding what happened to this program that did not appear on the program list, while some who knew Lu Wei were looking for Lu Wei's figure.
