Four hundred and seventieth chapters momentary confusion

Lang Lang in front of Tanway, his hands were like a demon, flying up and down the keys. The melody of Liszt's famous "Hungarian Rhapsody" No. 2 flew out from his flying fingers like a surging waterfall!

"Hungarian Rhapsody" No. 2 is a piano work written by Liszt in 1947. Liszt in her youth was deeply influenced by the Hungarian national revolutionary thoughts and wrote many national music that contains the nature of struggle. This rhapsody is his representative work during this period. The work uses the expression form of the Hungarian folk dance music "Cardash Dance" and perfectly combines it with piano skills. In Liszt's series of works, the song occupies a very important position.

Lang Lang's performance is gorgeous and passionate, and at the beginning, it attracted the attention of the audience. Although Lang Lang's hand shape does not look as rigorous as the academy, sometimes even makes very exaggerated movements because of the musical emotions, it cannot be denied that the sound effects obtained under such movements are first-class. It can be seen from the satisfied expressions on the faces of the teachers of Curtis Academy that they still appreciate Lang Lang's performance very much.

George is a senior reporter of the most authoritative classical music magazine in the UK. Today, he and many music media reporters came to interview the Curtis Conservatory's New Year's concert. At this moment, his eyes were full of excitement. Before that, George never thought he would see Lang Lang at this concert. You should know that since at the Lavenia Music Festival in Chicago, Lang Lang collaborated with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra to Tchaikovsky's "The First Piano Concerto".

After becoming famous in one fell swoop, he has now become the most dazzling star in the music industry. In less than half a month, he performed with the top orchestras in the United States for four consecutive times. Each performance has achieved great success. His popularity is simply incredible. The media praised him as a "a musical genius that is rare in a century" and "a young pianist who is expected to surpass Rubens"... With many honors, people almost forgot that Lang Lang is still just a student of the Curtis Conservatory of Music.

Today, being able to see Lang Lang at this concert and hearing such a wonderful "Hungarian Rhapsody" made George feel worthwhile. He checked the high-definition camera around him that had been running, and then saw the camera in his hand. George endured the impulse to take pictures. The ethics of a professional music journalist reminded him that he must not do any interference when the musicians play.

The same surprise as George, of course, also included other reporters who came to interview. People did not expect that Lang Lang would appear at the New Year's concert in Curtis Conservatory, because according to the news they received, the Golden Hall in Vienna also invited him. Being able to see Lang Lang's performance here was a surprise for them.

Listening to this song "Hungarian Rhapsody", Lu Wei couldn't help but sigh that Lang Lang's skills were more mature than when he was practicing piano together last month, and his unique style gradually took shape. More importantly, Lang Lang has more confidence than before. It seems that his cooperation with the top symphony orchestra has indeed made him grow a lot.

The music enters the "Fris" part, which is also the fastest and most dazzling part of the song. "Fris" is translated as "lively" in Hungarian folk. This piece of music fully reflects the fiery feeling of Hungarian folk dance. A pair of hands ran quickly on the keys, a large number of bass column chords and fast colorful phrases were constantly rotated between the hands, and with the use of the pedal underfoot, the whole piano emitted a passionate and brilliant sound, and the passionate music seemed to stir up the most primitive dance desire deep in the heart.

In less than four minutes of performance, it firmly attracted everyone's attention. No one was willing to take his eyes away from the flying hands in front of the piano. Everyone seemed to have only the pure sound of the piano, and only the hands that were as flexible as if given life were left in their eyes. When the last trembling chord sounded, the applause and cheers in the audience rang out at the same time. The reporters who could not bear it raised their cameras in their hands, pressing the shutter without hesitation, recording the figure with a confident smile on their faces in front of the piano with sunshine and confident smiles.

The applause lasted for a long time. Lang Lang stepped down several times, but was called back to the stage by the applause. It was three times before the audience's excitement was calmed down.

Then, a chamber music song was collaborated by the Strings and Piano Department. The famous Austrian composer Schubert created the "Fish". This famous quintet has almost become a classic work of chamber music. The performances of the five classmates are also very outstanding. In particular, the cello player played smoothly and melodiously, leaving a deep impression on the audience.

Seeing these people I never knew

His playing skills are undoubtedly among the top performers. Lu Wei is in the heart of the students of the Conservatory of Music. He also feels a sense of urgency in his heart. He has always thought that by gaining spiritual abilities, his musical level is enough to be arrogant in the piano world. But just after watching Lu Wei's performance, Lu Wei realized the problem for the first time that he has reached the world's first-class level in the performance level. However, with the most, he is just Kempf's ability. Although he has never stopped practicing, he is just a further proficient in this ability. His playing style has been deeply influenced by Kempf. Although in the short term, such practice can make his level improve by leaps and bounds. But in the long run, his own achievements will inevitably be limited to Kempf's level.

After understanding this, Lu Wei couldn't help but feel shocked and sweated. Only then did he realize that everything has been going well since he was reborn, so that he completely ignored this fact. At this moment, Lu Wei couldn't help but remember the famous painter Qi Baishi's words: "Those who learn from me live, those who are like me die!"

"Yes. Now I understand everything about music. I just understand Kempff. I just brought them out of my mind intact. Although I can continue to develop accordingly, I can still become a pianist. But is this really what I want?" Thinking of this question, Lu Wei couldn't help but feel confused.

At this moment, the quartet has ended. The famous waltz of the famous composer John Traus, the famous Danube, sounded on the stage. The graceful melody made many people feel relaxed physically and mentally. They couldn't help but slowly sway with the melody. However, this graceful melody did not affect Lu Wei. He was still stuck in thinking about the problem just now.

On the stage, Xue Ni, who was sitting in the chief violin position, was playing while looking at a position in the audience. The next program was her own "Battle of Liang". Thinking of the accompaniment of Lu Wei, Xue Ni's mood at this moment was even happier than winning the gold medal in the Queen Elizabeth Cup Violin Competition some time ago.

However, looking at Lu Wei on the seat, Xue Ni felt a strange feeling, as if he was not in a good state of mind at the moment, as if he was a little distracted...

Finally, the audience applause at the end of the music pulled Lu Wei's thoughts back to reality. His eyes met Xue Ni's smile, Lu Wei stood up and walked up to the stage. No matter what, he still had to perform the concert program well. He let out a long sigh, and Lu Wei's distracting thoughts just now were removed from his mind.

Xue Ni had already stood up, and the precious "Stratis Valli" gently pressed under her exquisite pink neck.

The fingers on the keys sank slightly, and a gentle, extremely Chinese-colored melody slowly flowed out of the piano, like a layer of thin smoke, with a different style, which was the introduction to "Liang Zhu".

Xue Ni, who was next to the piano, passed the concentrated figure next to the piano, and then her right arm holding the bow slowly pulled, and a melodious melody immediately echoed over the concert hall.

The sound of the piano is melodious and lingering, gently brushing through people's hearts, as if telling people an ancient and beautiful love story. Although there is no dazzling skills or brilliance, it is such a simple melody that intoxicates everyone's minds. The Chinese melody flying on "Stratis Valli" instantly brings everyone's thoughts into that ancient and mysterious Eastern country.

The sound of the piano like water quietly sets off the violin's chant, like a boat carrying a light blue lake, making the violin's sound more plump and shiny. As a Chinese who likes music, Lu Wei's understanding of this song "Liang Zhu" is far more than that of those foreigners. Because of this, when playing the accompaniment, Lu Wei can be said to be free to retract and play. The right piano sound sets off the artistic conception of the whole piece of music to make it more beautiful and distant.

Xue Ni's eyes closed, her mind was completely immersed in the artistic conception of the music. The accompaniment given by Lu Wei was very comfortable, giving her the feeling that she was walking forward. Every note seemed to flow out from the depths of her heart. The faint piano sound seemed to be telling her that ancient and sad love story, making the piano sound flowing from her fingertips even more lingering.
