Chapter 11 Japan, Amy

The two judges were in tit-for-tat, with no one giving in to the other.

No one present dared to speak, even Yu Tianyou, who had been joking and complaining, also shut up.

Who dares to speak now?

Putting aside their identities as judges, they are all top-notch pianists, and any one of them is a top performer who tours the world and is sought after by thousands of people.

Who are you sending it to? Go and talk? Are you qualified for this? You are worthy of participating in the conflict between the bosses.

Yu Tianyou broke into a cold sweat instantly.

The expression of the man who dropped the pen changed for a long time, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just took a deep breath again, flicked his sleeves and turned around to leave.

The man who knocked on the table also didn't say anything more. He just looked at the host on the stage and said coldly.

"What are you waiting for? Waiting for him to come back?"

"Feel sorry……"

The host bowed and apologized on the stage, stood up, picked up the teleprompter and spoke to everyone.

"The next contestant is from Poland, ukasz Piotr Byrdy. Please turn to page 37 for the repertoire. The repertoire is..."

Fu Tiao thought for a while, raised his head and looked around. When no one was paying attention, he reached out and picked up the booklet on the judges' table and threw it to Yu Tianyou.

Yu Tianyou was completely stunned. He held the booklet in his hand: "Wait? You?"

"This is the player roster. All players today will be recorded on it, and their works will also be recorded on it."

"I know this is a player roster, but you..."

"What's wrong with me?"

"You are stealing!"

"Who has this booklet?"

"I……"

"What does that have to do with me?"

"?"

Yu Tianyou's mind was filled with questions, but he had all the manuals in hand and there was no other way.

Moreover, after listening to Fu Diao's words, he did feel a little bit curious.

Yu Tianyou opened the booklet in his hand, and before he could make any move, Fu Tiao helped him flip it to the front.

There, I found my name as expected.

I don’t know who the judge was, but that person actually circled his name with a black pen of about 1 mm, especially his first work Chopin’s Piano Ballade No. 3, and his last work, Chopin’s Nocturne Op. 27.

-1.

If it was just a circle, it would be fine. He seemed to have written some handwriting on it. A lot of messy characters were put together. No matter how he looked at it, Fu Diao couldn't understand what he wrote.

Maybe German? Or Spanish? Or Polish?

Anyway, it’s definitely not languages ​​like Chinese, Neon, or Persian that can be seen at a glance.

Yu Tianyou looked helplessly as Fu Tiao flipped through the roster in his hand, not knowing what to say.

Fu Tiao, on the other hand, frowned and studied for a long time but could not figure out what language it was. It was not in his language library at all. He could only roughly guess that this person was very interested in his slow-speed works, or had some knowledge.

A little thought.

Are you satisfied with his slow movement, or are you dissatisfied?

I have no clue at all. I can only see excitement from the handwriting, but nothing else.

Now that the stage is about to start playing, it’s not easy to take out the phone and find a translator.

But all in all, there is definitely something wrong with the slow movement.

So... what is the problem? What makes people have different attitudes towards their fast movements and slow movements?

Fu Tiao rubbed his chin, frowning and lost in thought.

Why does he have thoughts about his slow movement? Is it because he plays this piece very slowly? Or is it because of his emotions?

Or, is there a clear contrast between the slow movement and the other fast movements that are not circled?

Where is the contrast?

Fu Tiao knew nothing about it.

In fact, it's very simple. Fu Tiao now has no idea what Chopin's feeling is.

Fu Tiao is actually not that proficient in Chopin's performance, or in classical music performance.

If we use martial arts as a metaphor, it is actually very clear.

Fu Tiao is now the kind of martial arts style who can defeat all kinds of magic with one force and break the sky with one punch. I don't care about you.

I can achieve and complete all the techniques, skills, and musicality.

Not to mention being number one in the world, at least they can be considered to be the first-class performers in the world.

However, the current competition is not simply a competition of external forces, but a competition of internal forces.

Competitions such as the Chopin International Piano Competition are actually a little simpler. This type of competition only requires you to play with the feeling of Chopin, and be able to interpret Chopin's feeling vividly. It is best to have a little bit of your own ideas.

The feeling of this composer is that internal strength is the method, and if you have the right method, then even if you only have six points of external strength, you can still exert eight points of strength.

In this kind of competition, Fu Tiao used ten points of external force to show eight points of strength.

So are other comprehensive competitions simply simpler and more suitable for Fu Tiao?

Not really.

Other comprehensive competitions, such as the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, which is almost as famous as the Chopin International Piano Competition.

Although this competition is not as commercial and famous as the Chopin International Piano Competition, the players in it are definitely not bad.

This competition was mainly created to commemorate the beautiful American pianist Van Cliburn. In this competition, the works you need to perform are particularly complex. You need to be proficient in the works of various pianists.

And also need to be able to deal with a variety of themes.

The organizing committee will give you a piece of work and only have one week for you to solve it. After one week, you will directly perform a brand new piece.

Not only do you need to play the entire piece at the original speed, you also need to play it with the feeling of the composer of the piece.

The internal strength required is even more complex, and you must even be able to draw on the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought.

Fu Diao can completely overwhelm some works with his own skills, but in the end there is no way to compete with those players who have learned and understood the composer's own style.

Too bad!

And to put it bluntly, modern piano education has developed for almost hundreds of years, and the evolution of education methods is completely different from that of more than a hundred years ago. It has long been no longer the kind that can directly crush all the students relying solely on hard power.

The era of the work.

If Fu Tiao wants to win the Chopin International Piano Competition at his current level, it is basically equivalent to wishful thinking.

It is even said that if you want to enter the third round from the second round, it will be very difficult.

At that time, it will not be a 60% player playing an 80% piece, but an 80% player playing a 90% piece!

Even if you can crush them with various levels of strength, what's the use?

Eighty points out of one hundred points, no matter how you calculate it, cannot be higher than ninety points.

It's a pity that Fu Diao still doesn't know this at all.

It's a field that you never thought of. No matter how hard you struggle, you won't get anything out of it.

At present, he just feels like he is missing something, and has no idea what he is missing.

This state made Fu Tiao extremely uncomfortable.

Fu Diao pondered and sat back in his seat.

What is that thing that is missing?

When Yu Tianyou saw Fu Tiao sitting back, he breathed a sigh of relief and rummaged around for his favorite player.

The contestants on the stage finished playing and the host came on stage again.

"The next contestant is Aimi and Kobayashi from Japan. Please turn to page 38. The song is..."

Fu Diao slowly raised his head and heard a familiar name.

The one Yu Tianyou mentioned before, the Japanese piano princess, Little Amy?
