Chapter 289 Bell, flying bumblebee (5000)

 "Boom!——"

Don Yetus's solitary shout caused the accumulated energy to be released.

"bravo!" "bravo!" "bravo!!!"

Thunderous applause roared in, and when Master Schillings stepped down from the podium, shook hands with Fan Ning and took the curtain call, the already extremely loud sound was suddenly raised by another level, almost to the point of overturning it.

Hall roof!

"My title is still... still too cautious and cautious. When the "Tioline Cultural Weekly" was founded, it issued the ambition and declaration of "unreservedly celebrating the truth of art". Now this ambition is gradually drifting away...

"

The editor-in-chief, whose palms were a little numb from the slap, began to wonder whether he had become more conservative in recent years: "...the words 'arrogant' and 'pragmatic' can ensure that my press release does not make mistakes, but it is definitely not the case."

Unreservedly praising the truth of art'! How is this a 'little tribute' or a 'pioneer attempt'? The virtue of self-effacement cannot overshadow the praise of others, and the adjective 'small' can only describe the simplicity of its length and structure.

, but with all the sublime elements, it is a 'small but great tribute' and a 'generous beam of light of inspiration from his Second Symphony to the audience in advance'!!"

"My titles are always of the highest quality." Ferrege, a senior reporter for "Hoffmann's Gramophone" who was greatly shocked at the scene, is now quite proud of his offensive and defensive naming skills, "... if the composer's answer sheet

If it is not satisfactory, then "N2 and G9" embodies significant contrast and sharp criticism. Now that Mr. Fanning has successfully discussed the sublime, with the same title, the readers' interpretation has changed - think we

He has a sharp eye and has every reason to predict that his subsequent "Second Symphony" can be compared with that "Highest Peak"..."

Music critics are always the most rational people, but among the more than 2,000 audience members who gave a standing ovation, the six or seven big names who can dominate 80% of the public opinion in the music critic world were shocked and worried.

A different emotion or thought.

Master Schillings did not take the curtain call first, but stood aside with a smile and clapped together with the artists on the stage and the audience in the audience.

Fan Ning walked to several locations on the stage facing different fans.

He stretched out his arms, pressed his chest, bowed, and cheers came one after another.

“The composer and pianist is a leader in the spiritual world tonight!”

"This is no longer just notes, music and art! This is a noble power that transcends time, space, geographical and cultural boundaries and exists in everyone's heart!"

The more general audience turned the endless excitement and praise in their hearts into even warmer applause and "bravo" sounds.

Wonderful art, divine grace, the marriage of love and power...those radiant melodies and exciting lyric fragments are still echoing in the heart of "The Voice of Janus" special music critic Hansen Lick who came from across the ocean.

.

Obviously, what this New Year's concert brings to the audience is no longer at the level of enjoyment, festival, and celebration.

Its meaning is close to sublimity, truth and the ultimate joy of mankind.

The reason why I use the word "close" is...

"Second heir!" "Second heir of Gilles!"

The "bravo!" sounds from the audience and the names of the conductor and pianist started to be mixed with the shouts of some music fans.

You must know that those who can be qualified to be called "torch bearers" or heirs of great masters may only be lower-level masters. They spontaneously placed the title of Fanning after Schillings, so for the song "Beckham Nine"

"The evaluation attitude is quite obvious!

——There are already very few people in this world who have a "crescent" understanding of Fan Ning's "character".

Of course, this does not mean that Fan Ning has been upgraded to the "Crescent". "Quality" is the sum of the world's recognition and remembrance of an artist, the difference between "a very few people think" and "almost everyone thinks".

Some people are unable to cross over in their lifetime, and some people successfully cross over during their lifetime but are washed away by time after death.

To be precise, this performance further consolidated Fan Ning's level of "forging a lion".

The artists on the stage began to accept flowers, and many audience members walked around from the steps at the back, giving large bouquets to the chorus members in formal dresses.

These boys and girls had just recovered from the nervousness of going on stage. At this moment, they felt that they had never been treated so warmly. They looked shy and incoherent as they thanked the fans.

It’s too lively on stage!

Of course, symphony concerts are always crowded and lively, but never before has there been so many people and so many elements at the same time as tonight's New Year's concert!

——In addition to the more than 80 musicians who can enjoy the treatment of being surrounded by flowers today, there are also pianist Fanning, conductor Schillings, and 6 people including Niemann, Marquise, Capron, Virgil, Lausanne and Elizabeth.

Singers in full costume and 61 members of the affiliated choir.

There were many artists, but even more flowers were presented by music fans. Soon the stage turned into a sea of ​​colors.

Originally, Schillings' halo as a master should be greater than that of Fanning.

But Fan Ning’s piano is so dazzling, telling this great story from the beginning, not only leading out the band, duet and chorus in sequence, but also firmly connecting them together. The wonderful performance can be said to run through the entire work!

This alone is enough to put him on the same level as the master, and if another factor is added: he is a composer...

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Fan Ning, who was bowing for the nth time, was aimed at more than a dozen gift tubes. Amidst the hearty laughter, colorful ribbons were thrown out, and he was covered with flower petals and gold and silver foils flying in the sky.

.

The leader was his piano teacher Sir Viadrin.

Fan Ning ingeniously ordered a batch of gift boxes and placed them in the small slots between the seats in the distinguished guest area in advance. This is not common in serious concerts, but today is a New Year's concert, and everyone just feels

The Mr. Director came up with ideas one after another, and the atmosphere became more enthusiastic. The audience who had not noticed this element before cheered even more excitedly.

"Its 'creation' does not represent my free will at this stage, but its 'performance' is what I expected. I just want to put what is still there on the snowy New Year's Eve of this old industrial world into the future."

Friends gathered together to share the happiness and joy of the festival..."

Another large wave of gift tubes made a "bang bang" sound.

Fan Ning laughed and brushed away the gold and silver foil from his hair, and then saw the young Master Nieman jump off the stage and grab two of them, then spin the launch handle towards his friend Schillings.

He also saw Kaplan's face flushed with joy, and his wife and daughter came on stage to help him carry the ribbons on his body; he saw Lu sitting behind the timpani in the "dead spot", holding two hammers and smiling at the mess in front of him.

On the stage, I saw the Marquess and Marquis of MacAdam and several chief maidens throwing flowers to the audience seats, causing cheers after cheers.

"Thank you. The children sang so well and lived so happily. All of this is really touching." Hamilton was helped up to Fan Ning and held up a small bouquet of magnolia tremblingly.

Fan Ning saw tears glistening in the wrinkled corners of the old lady's eyes, and he quickly bowed deeply after taking it.

"Hope you have a good night."

One person returned to the audience seat, and the other returned to the passage on the side of the stage.

But obviously, this first round of carnival after the dinner was not enough to satisfy everyone's appetite.

At some point, the scattered applause of more than 2,000 audience members became unified.

"Wow!--"

Fan Ning, wearing a tuxedo, returned for the curtain call again and then sat in front of the piano.

"Yeah! -" "Wow! -"

The audience was excited.

"It's a piano encore! Not orchestral music!"

"Great, now I can really listen to the piano solo. What will he play? A Romance by Gilles?"

"No, it's definitely a new work! Don't you know the grand occasion of that night at Santa Ramburg?" The two fans had a brief discussion, and then quickly fell silent together with the hall.

After a few sporadic coughs disappeared, Fan Ning stretched out his right hand and struck a crisp octave D-sharp double tone in the high register of the piano.

"Ding ding ding dong dong dong, ding ding ding dong dong dong, ding dong dong, ding dong dong..."

Then, his right hand started a clean long-distance jump around the G-sharp minor theme melody below and the small bell-like D-sharp fixed tone above, while his left hand accompanied it with extremely economical chord tones.

"Is this the sound of bells? New Year's concert...New Year's bells...this is very appropriate for the occasion!"

As early as Fanning struck the first few octaves, a considerable number of discerning listeners felt his unique musical character.

The first encore is the third piece of Liszt's "Paganini Etude" - "The Bell"!

Soon, the crisp, ethereal, and highly technical musical theme at Fan Ning's fingertips captivated the audience.

After listening to the performance of Paganini's "Second Violin Concerto in B minor" in 1831, Liszt was greatly shocked. Based on the rondo theme of the third movement, he composed "The Bells" in 1834, which is full of rhapsody and improvisation.

"Grand Fantasia", but after writing it, he found that it was too difficult and almost no one could produce the effect except himself. So in 1838, after making a lot of simplifications, he included it in the first edition of "Paganini Grande Etudes" and presented it

To Clara Schumann.

But Liszt really didn't expect that it was still too difficult for pianists to play perfectly, so he had no choice but to simplify it again in 1851, eliminating more virtuosic passages and retaining only the most exciting ones.

part, and added some "funny" cadenza - this third draft, which was downgraded to "the easiest simplified version that can be played and quickly mastered" in his eyes, is the most widely circulated song in Fan Ning's previous life.

"The Bell" is almost one of the first works that most fans think of when Liszt is mentioned.

Of course, a basic common sense is that the gap between people is sometimes unimaginable. The skill gap between Liszt and those pianists of the time may be greater than that between pianists and piano boys. In his eyes, "visible performance and quick mastery"

"The most simplified version" is something that no normal person would believe, such as the audience listening to Fan Ning's performance——

They originally thought that the composer had written a New Year's ballad depicting the sound of bells, but within a minute of listening, they gradually showed stunned expressions.

After the crisp and melodious first theme ended, in measure 22, Fan Ning began to present the second theme by playing alternately with both hands.

The wrong accent mark on the downbeat and the chromatic harmony create a swaying and joking image, and the theme jump of sixteenth notes is mixed with the rapid thirty-second auxiliary sound group, which shows

The high demand for key touch accuracy has begun to frighten many piano learners in the audience, especially ladies with relatively smaller hand spans.

At measure 43, the first theme began to change. The main melody was switched to the left hand, and Fan Ning's right hand began to strike in turn in the high notes of three different octaves, and the D-sharp notes of three different timbres sounded, like

Someone was ringing a bunch of bells, adding a strange color to the melodious and joyful atmosphere.

The melody in bar 51 returned to the right hand, but the audience found that the notes became denser triplet. While Fan Ning maintained the long-distance jumping melody sound, his right hand was actually mixed with fast ring fingers!

After being baptized by the "depth of thought" in "Choral Fantasia in C Minor", many senior music critics were dazzled by Fan Ning's clean and neat skills, with the word "convinced" written all over their faces.

After a series of semitone passages, Fan Ning's ring fingering intensity increased by one, and he changed from the low voice to the high voice, from 1/2 fingers to 3/4/5 fingers, 68 measures, decorative sound

The part was changed from ring finger to vibrato, but the melody was moved to the middle level by Fan Ning. While he kept the vibrato of the 3/4 finger even and refreshing, he also had to take into account the skipping image of the 1/2 finger melody!

What surprised everyone even more in hindsight was that this was only the right hand part!

So music fans miraculously discovered that the fastest vibrato at the top was like the second hand, the medium-tempo melody in the middle was the minute hand, and the chords and sustains in the left hand were like the hour hand. They moved interlacedly, creating a wonderful effect like a clock face.

"This way of writing, this way of playing...it's so right! I asked this guy for a score immediately after the concert! This will be my repertoire for encores at future concerts!!!"

The thick and steady bass, the melodious and moderate "bell theme", and a series of fine and crisp ticking notes made Viadlin's eyes light up in the audience, and his ten fingers could not help but move.

At section 75, Fan Ning felt that fine beads of sweat were already oozing out from his vest and forehead, but the high-speed colorful run had just begun.

Each measure here is squeezed into 31, 32 or even more than 40 notes. Fan Ning's right hand turns into an afterimage and sweeps back and forth on the keyboard, while his left hand plays a few basic bass notes like a sudden fire.

Such a fast speed, but the strength is not strong, and there are ups and downs of wave-like changes. This way of showing off skills while maintaining dignity and elegance is simply heart-breaking.

"The heating... is too big... it's so hot..." Fan Ning, whose forehead was covered with beads of sweat, was complaining in her heart.

In the long vibrato starting from bar 84, the melodious bell theme reappears, and gradually transitions to the second playful theme transformation with stronger sound effects.

"Why are all the sounds so far apart? Such a long jump is almost life-threatening!"

"Is this something that can be seen clearly with the eyes... The person playing the piano can't even see clearly!!"

The audience was stunned to find that the cadenza behind each melody sound was a big jumping movement of both hands, and the direction was in the opposite direction.

From time to time, they saw Fan Ning knocking out a dense melody note in the alto range, and then the afterimages of his hands flashed past, and several widely spaced keys were accurately sunk on the keys. When they saw clearly what happened

What, the left and right fingers have already accurately stood in the highest and lowest registers respectively!

"Dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang!!..."

In the alternation of exciting major chords, Fan Ning's right hand began to strike a thrilling tremolo melody in the high register. The speed became more and more compact, the intensity became stronger and stronger, and the pedal became deeper and deeper.

A long series of reverse octave chromatic scales from both hands made the color and mind tense to the limit. With a strong blow of ff, the most intense and violent chord group at the end of the sentence finally played.

Fan Ning, who had sweat dripping down his face, turned into a ruthless piano smashing machine. His open hands frantically struck back and forth in the piano's major ranges, and the metallic bass beat made the audience feel like they were

His head was about to be stuffed into the big bell, and the whirlwind blow from his right hand was about to break the strings, and the entire symphony hall was surrounded by the sound of landslides and earth shattering!

“Dang——dang,dang,dang,dang,dang!————”

In the last sentence, the right hand repeatedly hits the chords with fff intensity, and the left hand whizzes over five octaves from low to high. The last G-sharp minor major chord is vibrated, and Fan Ning's hands hover in the air as if opening his arms.

"bravo!!!"

"Caroline Van Nin!—"

“Great pianist!!”

The audience burst into overwhelming applause, and quite a few ladies even began to respond with ear-piercing screams.

After Fan Ning completed the outstanding performance of "Choral Fantasy in C Minor" and led the performance, he returned to the performance of "The Bell" with explosive virtuosity. Music fans finally inherited his title of "composer and conductor"

Finally, there is a new understanding of pianists at the same "grid" level!

Fan Ning put away the handkerchief after wiping sweat, and then gracefully bowed out with a faint smile.

"Bata -" When his figure was about to disappear in the side passage, he raised his right hand high and snapped his fingers.

The audience subconsciously looked towards the center of the stage and discovered that Master Schillings, who was listening to the piano at the side, had stood on the conductor's podium at some point and had already stopped filming!

“Da da da da da da da…”

The band played nervous sixteenth notes at the beginning, with a strong and uneasy momentum, and a tense atmosphere swept over instantly!

Immediately, the music directly enters a chromatic progression, and dramatically, the unusually strong ensemble sound suddenly turns into a weak hum produced only by string instruments.

The second encore is Rimsky-Korsakov's four-act opera "The Story of the Sadan", Act 2, Scene 1 Interlude: "Flight of the Bumblebee"!

Continue to increase the dosage, and continue to thank the leaders of the alliance!

After the beautiful plot of the New Year's Concert is over, we are about to enter the ending of the second volume. Please watch and cherish it.
