Chapter 179 [The World's Most Difficult Piano Song]
It would be fine if Li Shaofen played simple nursery rhymes such as "I Love Kyoto XX Gate" and "School Song". This song "Norma's Memories" is known as one of the top ten most difficult songs to play in the world.
The piano prince, the piano lady, the piano master, all dare not play easily.
As soon as Zhou Yi heard this, he knew that this was Li Shaofen taking on a difficult challenge; why would a famous talent like her in the music industry challenge herself during rehearsals? It was precisely because she lacked self-confidence!
So she must finish playing this song. If she gives up halfway, her confidence will collapse and it will be difficult to pick it up again!
Zhou Yi saw this very clearly, so he reminded her loudly that she must not give up just yet.
"I can't do it anymore, I can't do it anymore"
After reluctantly playing another bar, Li Shaofen's pink face turned red, and the fingers of his hands seemed to be tied with heavy sandbags. He became slower and slower, and the rhythm of the tunes he played began to become chaotic. He was worse than an amateur piano player.
"Your heart disease is still not completely cured. Calm down, be calmer. Don't think about the concert. As a musician, you have to play for the audience, but don't be bound by the audience. Play your favorite tunes left and right. The audience
You will definitely accept it, don’t put the cart before the horse.”
While Zhou Yi encouraged her, he turned around and walked behind the piano, sat side by side with her, stretched out one hand and pressed the keys.
"Is this the way to play music for the audience, but don't be constrained by the audience? Brother Zhou's piano level is too high."
Zhou Yi's attack was just right. Every note he played happened to be the key to Li Shaofen's impending collapse, but it would not affect her. This was simply awesome.
Because the piano is often performed by one person, even if it is a duet, it is the result of countless rehearsals in advance. This is precisely because playing this diatonic instrument requires the musician's full devotion, and Zhou Yi, who joined in the middle,
.It is impossible to fully mobilize one's emotions along with the ups and downs of the music, but it can hit key notes so accurately from time to time to prevent the song "Norma's Memories" from collapsing. How much skill does this require?
Or this is no longer something that can be described as skill, this is the true unity of human and piano, this is the Tao!
Under the guidance of Zhou Yi, Li Shaofen gradually got back on track and entered the best state without realizing it. As soon as he played the song, even Zuo Zhu, a music idiot, could hear it deeply, as if he had also entered Norma's memories.
, love, hatred, forgiveness and all kinds of emotions intertwined together, making this grown man feel angry and burst into tears.
"It sounds so good! Shaofen, it turns out that the musician is so great, you can definitely stir up the entire Victoria Concert Hall."
The handsome guy is originally a sentimental person. Although he is tall and tall, he has a gentle heart. Therefore, he was easily infected by this classic piano music. He applauded repeatedly and brought tears to his eyes.
"Don't praise me, it's all because Brother Zhou is here."
Li Shaofen glanced at Zhou Yi and remembered that day when he was trapped on the cliff above Baiquan Valley. That heroic figure appeared in front of him like a divine soldier descending from the sky. Suddenly, his ears warmed and his heart beat.
"No, if she looks at me like this, she might get into trouble."
Although Zhou Yi and Liu Xu have never been in love, they are experienced in the relationship between men and women. As long as they know that "Lala" will not go back, once their sexual orientation returns to normal. When they find the person they like, it will be like thunder and fire.
His ferocity must not be provoked.
"Well, Shaofen, you still play well, but I suggest that you choose more difficult pieces for this performance. In this way, once the performance is successful, you will be more confident and your illness will naturally recover."
"Brother Zhou, this song "Norma's Memories" is already one of the top ten most difficult pieces to play in the world. Isn't it difficult enough?" Li Shaofen opened his eyes wide: "Then which piece do you think we should play? "
"If I had to choose," Zhou Yi was stunned when asked, "Of course I would choose the most difficult piece of music in the world to play."
"You mean Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3?"
Li Shaofen said in disbelief: "Brother Zhou, are you asking me to play this piece? A musician once said that playing this "Piano Concerto No. 3" requires no less effort than shoveling ten tons of coal. This is a piece of music that can make a pianist have a psychological breakdown or even go crazy. It is so difficult that even the world’s best piano master would not dare to play it easily.”
"Uh, is it that serious?"
Zhou Yi broke into a sweat. He just said it casually, but he didn't expect that there was such a perverted piano music. But now it's hard to change his words, otherwise it would inevitably affect Li Shaofen's confidence: "I just don't believe it is so difficult. Let's Let me give it a try, do you have the music score here?"
"Of course, I will find it for Brother Zhou."
Li Shaofen was very excited. With her status in the music industry, she had not been able to hear "Piano Concerto No. 3" played several times, and the few times she had listened to it were not perfect. Even at her peak, she did not have the courage to play it in public. Playing this piano piece, and now having Zhou Yi, a piano master, perform it for her, is simply a once-in-a-century opportunity.
"The third child is so awesome. When did you learn to play the piano? Why didn't I know?"
Zuo Zhu was dumbfounded. Although he didn't understand piano, just looking at Li Shaofen's expression, he knew that this piece of music must be difficult to play, but Zhou Yi seemed to have no pressure at all.
This most difficult piano piece in the world, which is said to require the pianist to shovel ten tons of coal, is not generous and fierce at the beginning, but is unusually soft and peaceful. As Zhou Yi's hands move on the keys like flowing water, the tune in D minor The free sonata form seemed to be rolling out a noble and elegant velvet carpet in front of Zuo Zhu and Li Shaofen. When the two were intoxicated by Zhou Yi's subtle control of the piano, the piano began to express the simplicity of Russian folk songs in octaves. The brisk first theme. This theme is far-reaching and long, gradually expanding in the narrowness and winding. It reflects the most simple style of Russia.
"So beautiful"
Although Li Shaofen was an expert at watching music, Zuo Zhu, a music expert, couldn't help but be deeply fascinated by this top-notch music, as if he saw a beautiful girl named "Natasha" dancing in front of him.
"Ah, I've been wrong before. Girls are more attractive."
Unknowingly, the soft-hearted handsome boy began to transform into a dignified man. This is the power of music!
At this moment, Zhou Yi suddenly broke the previous velvet tranquility and light national style with a triplet rhapsody, and then quickly switched to the key of D flat major. He played a romantic and warm movement, with a little loneliness and loneliness. Entering the middle section; it was at this time that his piano skills were most perfectly displayed. His lively left hand launched a chromatic glissando, while his right hand controlled the powerful chords, expressing his "sentimental" music in a vivid and vivid way. Wild. This made the extremely pure 'Natasha' in front of Zuo Zhu suddenly turn into a pole girl singing and dancing wildly.
"Ah, ah! I'm going crazy"
It is indeed a famous song that is said to drive musicians crazy. Zhou Yi has not gone crazy yet, but Zuo Zhu has started to go crazy. His face is red and his ears are red, and he is roaring to the sky, like a wolf from somewhere, and like a music-obsessed person.
Pilgrims.
Zhou Yi seemed to disappear from the excited Li Shaofen and Zuo Zhu. He tapped the keyboard briskly and quickly with his ten fingers. For the first time, he brought his piano skills to the extreme and began to enter the most difficult two-two beat final movement of the whole song.
This movement is like being possessed by seven ghosts, with earthly flames fluttering in the courtyard. It possesses the most difficult techniques from hell and is also the pinnacle of the whole piece. Under his control, the piano plays the first theme powerfully and accurately, full of weirdness and strangeness.
After repeated several times, the speed became faster and faster, until the high-pitched and tenacious musical process had a superficial pause. The piano moved forward with an extremely fast syncopated rhythm, and finally eased into the lyrical second theme.
come down
When Zuo Zhu and Li Shaofen just breathed a sigh of relief, Zhou Yi perfectly demonstrated the lively fast sound group, until the piano tone dissipated like a dancing girl in the bewildering veil, and the music took a turn again, becoming more enthusiastic and crazy. The music
At this point, the realm was raised again, entering the final part with a high pitch, and finally ended the whole performance in a sonorous octave presto.
“Perfect, so perfect”
Li Shaofen stood blankly opposite Zhou Yi, unable to speak for a long time. Even Rachmaninoff's performance that she heard from gramophone records was completely incomparable to Zhou Yi. She couldn't believe it, the whole world
The greatest pianist actually came from Yunshuishan, China, and was sitting opposite her.
"Brother Zhou"
With a low call, Li Shaofen rushed into Zhou Yi's arms as naturally as a baby swallow. Under the influence of the most beautiful music in the world, gender, identity, etc. didn't matter anymore. She just wanted to be here at this moment.
I feel a bit more artistic atmosphere in the arms of this piano prince.
"Brother Zhou, you play so well. I am fascinated by you, no no, I am fascinated by your music."
Li Shaofen raised her head and looked at Zhou Yi dreamingly, her eyes were red, and her eyes were full of little stars spinning after seeing her idol, so Zhou Yi couldn't bear to push her away.
"Third Brother"
Zuo Zhu rushed over like a hungry wolf grabbing food: "I'm also fascinated by you."
"I'll wipe it, please don't come here."
Zhou Yi raised his foot and gently pushed it on this guy's belly. You're not a sweet-smelling soft girl. Why are you coaxing me?
Li Shaofen laughed when he saw it, and finally woke up from the intoxication of art: "Brother Zhou, I have decided to play this "Piano Concerto No. 3". Will you teach me?"
"Of course, as long as you have confidence."
Zhou Yi smiled and said: "The transition of this piece is a bit intense, which is not suitable for weak girls. However, I will make some changes in the connection part, which will not only retain the style of the whole song, but also make it easier for you to play."
"That's great. The song that Brother Zhou changed must be the best!"
Now Li Shaofen blindly worships him. Let alone "Piano Concerto No. 3", she feels that Brother Zhou just adapted "Guangling San", which is natural.
