Chapter 392 See the impromptu again!

"Why would you like to let him perform for us?" Although George's voice was speaking to Lang Lang, he deliberately said it loudly. For a moment, in the small auditorium, more than half of the people heard George's words, and suddenly many people turned their attention to Lu Wei.

I thought Lang Lang would make excuses to refuse when he heard this, but George found that a smile appeared on Lang Lang's face.

George did not see a panic expression on the face of the Oriental man named Lu Wei, and he still looked calm, as if he did not take George's words to heart just now.

"Haha, Lu Wei, how about it? I haven't heard your piano sound for a long time. Come up and try it?" Lang Lang said to Lu Wei with a smile. How could Lang Lang not know what George meant just now? But if he knew Lu Wei's piano level, he would probably not want to use such a stupid method to make Lu Wei look ugly. You know, even Lang Lang would not dare to say that his piano level must be better than him in front of Lu Wei, let alone after so long, with Lu Wei's amazing learning speed, even Lang Lang didn't know what level he has reached now. Until now, Lang Lang still remembers the first time he saw Lu Wei, when he heard Kong Xiangdong say that Lu Wei had only learned from him for less than a year.

"Oh? OK." Lu Wei of course also saw George's little care, just to make himself look ugly in front of the beauty, so as to give himself some face. However, Lu Wei is not a soft persimmon, and he can do whatever he wants to pinch it. He has never had a good impression of such a guy who is shameful to others. Therefore, after hearing Langlu's suggestion, he agreed without hesitation.

"Miss Xueni, I just heard your Liang Zhu. It sounds really nice. I also like this song very much. Next, I will play this song with the piano. Please give me more suggestions." Lu Wei said with a smile.

"Really? That's great. This song originally came from the East. I really look forward to hearing someone from the hometown of this song to interpret her." Xue Ni said with anticipation.

"Liang Zhu? Haha, it's interesting. I have never heard of the piano version of Liang Zhu. Lu Wei, you played it, it's the version of Clayderman," George said with a funny expression.

"What? Classmate George? Do you think the Clayderman version of Liang Zhu is not good?" Lu Wei asked without any anger after hearing George's words.

"Oh, of course not, I think it sounds nice, please play it quickly." George said, making a gesture of invitation, but his smile could not be hidden. It is no wonder that he showed such an expression. In such a high-level music school, real piano students in the piano department are disdainful to play Clayderman's piano works. Although he has achieved great commercial success now, he has never received the recognition he deserves in the field of classical music. In the eyes of George and others, it is really ridiculous to let them play such a song, just like letting a famous tenor like Pavarotti sing American country music.

In fact, when George finished speaking, many students who heard this were also showing a funny look like George. In their opinion, if Lu Wei really played the Clayderman version of Liang Zhu on the stage, it would undoubtedly be a ridiculous farce. Everyone here could play that kind of song very smoothly even when they were eight or nine years old. If they were allowed to enjoy a performance of this level now, it would undoubtedly be the same as watching a performance of kindergarten children. No wonder they would show such a funny look.

However, no matter what, when Lu Wei sat in front of the piano calmly, they still became quiet. It seems that long-term performance practice has also allowed Curtis students to develop good polite habits.

Although she just heard George say that, Xue Ni doesn't think Lu Wei really can play that version of Liang Zhu. And based on her intuition, she feels that Lu Wei's next performance may bring her a surprise.

Sure enough, when Lu Wei played the Liangzhu ground in a tremolo like raindrops, everyone in the venue knew that Lu Wei played the ground, which was definitely not the so-called popular version of Clayderman. At the same time, it was not any piano version that they were familiar with. Because there was no piano version, which would bring such a prelude. You must know that such a prelude will only appear in the violin concerto version. And it was led out of the flute.

When the light tremolo on d ended, Lu Wei's right hand blew across the keys like a gentle wind. A beautiful and beautiful pentaphonic scale flowed out of the keys like a clear spring.

This simple introduction immediately attracted the attention of the students below the stage. I just heard the version of Xue Ni playing. Of course, I won’t be unable to hear it. Lu Wei is now playing the introduction part of the violin concerto just now. This passage was originally played by the flute. It was played by Lu Wei on the piano. It was so wonderful. It really has a unique charm.

At this moment, many people have realized that Lu Wei is playing this version of the music that has never been formed. Many people are already boldly guessing whether it will be Lu Wei’s improvisation on the spot. However, this idea was soon denied by themselves. Who would improvise such a song in such an event? Besides, this introduction is so simple. It is not difficult to improvise the music. But for such a long and complicated theme, it is absolutely impossible to make such a complex texture. It is entirely impossible to make improvise the music. It is impossible to make suitable harmonies.

After a chapter that is like the singing of birds and fragrance of flowers, the song immediately turns into the classic love theme. Accompanied by the warm arpeggio of the left hand, Lu Wei's right hand briskly played this theme, starting, inheriting, turning, and combining. After the musical segment consisting of four extremely square phrases ended, it moved to a more brilliant high octave note area, and the texture also transformed from the melody composed of the just single note into double notes and chords.

"It's beautifully modified! I didn't expect that this kid not only plays the piano well, but also plays it so strongly. The polyphonic technique added to this repetitive theme is rare to take into account the characteristics of the national tune and play it so beautifully. I really have to ask this kid if he has learned any new harmonic formulas." Lang Lang, sitting in the front row, watched Lu Wei's performance, and thought to himself. I'm afraid no one in this small auditorium can compare to Lang Lang. Just by hearing Lu Wei play here, Lang Lang can conclude that this song is definitely a recently written song by him, even if it is not Lu Wei's improvisation here.

Before this, Lang Lang had never heard of this version of the piano version of Liang Zhu. In fact, there are only two authoritative music scores in the world, one is the most widely circulated version of Clayderman, and the other is the version adapted from the original version by Chinese composer Wu Zuqiang. Although the former is greater than the latter in terms of the breadth of circulation, the former is incomparable to the latter in terms of technical difficulty and the degree of faith in the original song. However, because it is too faithful to the original song, this version uses a large number of national five-toned chords, which has not been recognized by most performers, especially Western players, so the degree of circulation is not very wide.

Now Lu Wei's performance obviously does not belong to either of these two versions. However, to Langlang, Lu Wei seems to perfectly integrate the advantages of these two versions. It has Clayderman's popular style, but it is also faithful to the original work to the greatest extent in terms of melody. What's more rare is that Lu Wei's playing style is very light, which also makes this song more like Chinese ink painting.

Xue Ni, who had just finished playing the violin version, is now completely fascinated by Lu Wei's performance. Before that, although she had heard this concerto played by many famous violinists, she had already learned a lot about this song, but Lu Wei's performance made her hear many different things. Compared to her own performance, Xue Ni always felt that Lu Wei's piano sound was more than anything else, but she was like a cunning fish. Whenever she wanted to catch the inspiration, she was slipped away from her mind.

The melody turned and entered the second lingering theme. The melody of the right hand became more delicate and affectionate, like a girl leaning on the railing alone and pouring out her daughter’s thoughts at the pool of spring water. At this moment, the left hand stopped playing the arpeggio and turned into an echo with the melody of the right hand, like the whisper of a loyal boy, and it seemed to chant at the window, with a faint sense of outspreadness.

Although there are no complicated techniques, these two melodies at Lu Wei's fingertips are as if given life, deeply attracting the audience, just like listening to an ancient oriental love story. The plain and soft feeling is like a cup of light tea, which makes everyone happy.

The theme is changed. This is a light and small fast-paced music, like an oriental rondo. Just now on the violin, the cheerful and agile feeling made everyone intoxicated. But at this moment, when Lu Wei's hands suddenly danced a happy dance on the keys, everyone felt that the most suitable one to play this theme was the piano!
