Chapter 284

Actually!

Wang Qian's words made almost all European and American musicians feel offended.

Elton is not just a passer-by a, B and C, but a real talented pianist in the eyes of many people.

Although he is only the second piano player of the New York love Orchestra, that is, the piano substitute. He has no points in large-scale performances. He is the chief appearance. Only some unimportant small performances will have his opportunity to appear.

However, no one will underestimate him.

You know, love orchestra is the second largest Orchestra in North America and one of the top orchestras in the world. The piano player is the most competitive position, because the piano itself is the classical instrument with the widest spread and the largest number of learners.

When Elton went to love orchestra to compete for the position of the second piano player, hundreds of thousands of people competed together, and most of these hundreds of predecessors were famous piano players who were no worse than Elton, almost all of them were talents graduated from the Piano Department of Curtis, Julia, Eastman, Manhattan and other famous universities, The fierce competition is beyond the imagination of laymen!

It is enough to show Elton's strength and talent to stand out among so many talented graduates of famous schools and finally be selected by the love band.

Such fierce competition can also show that it is very difficult for classical musicians to find employment. Of course, it also shows the attraction of the love band.

If he can replace Aisha, the chief pianist of the New York love Orchestra in the future, Elton will become one of the top ten world-class master pianists in North America.

Even if he is still a substitute, he is already a well-known pianist.

So!

Elton is a piano player with absolute strength and talent, and his talent and strength surpass most of the musicians learning piano on site!

So, what Wang Qian said to Elton: your talent is too bad!

It offended almost all the people learning piano music on the scene.

If the pianists at Elton's level are too talented, what are most other musicians who are not as talented as Elton?

What about a few limited piano musicians who are only better than Elton?

Almost most of the musicians from Europe and America looked at Wang Qian with bad eyes. They all expected Elton to teach Wang Qian a good lesson, directly make him unable to stand down at the beginning and quickly end the class, so Wang Qian will become a joke all over the world!

Some people can't help but make complaints about it.

Someone whispered, "God, he said Elton's talent is too bad."

Others looked at Wang Qian with anger: "Elton held his first concert at the age of 19. He was also one of the top ten young pianists in North America at that time. Although his first World Tour failed after graduation, he succeeded in holding the world tour again after five years of accumulation. I heard his concert once, and the live performance was very good. He was one of the best pianists in the Mesozoic era. This Chinese boy was so surprised But Elton's talent is too bad. He's too arrogant and ignorant. "

Some people disdain: "it's ridiculous for an actor to say that a pianist graduated from Manhattan has poor talent!"

……

However, most people remained silent.

Today, the people present are basically accomplished music artists. Other people who are not music artists are also successful people who like art, such as Christine.

Even Curtis college students are very few.

Therefore, there is no noisy phenomenon. Everyone seems very polite and self-restraint.

A few make complaints about it and then shut up to avoid being rude to others.

So, quiet is the theme of today's class.

Everyone sat quietly in their seats and looked at Wang Qian on the podium with a look of examination!

Even Wang Qian's words offended almost all of them.

Not many people stood up and spoke about it.

Because.

Elton, we're moving.

They'll just wait for Elton's result now.

Wang Qian held out his hand to Elton and made an invitation gesture: "please, this gentleman, come on stage and show us."

Elton came out of his seat, first nodded and smiled to the people around him, then calmly walked to the podium step by step, quickly adjusted his state, came to the podium, there was no angry expression just now, with a trace of elegance and composure on his face, still holding the microphone, stood next to Wang Qian and said to everyone: "Mr. Wang from China said that my talent is too poor. I think I need to prove me and prove for my school and teachers that they didn't choose me blind."

At this time, Elton also made a small joke.

Telling jokes to liven up the atmosphere is almost the social instinct of many people in Europe and America, and it is also a necessary skill.

There were small applause at the scene, and many alumni who knew Elton or graduated from Manhattan College gave him applause one after another.

Then, many other European and American music artists applauded Elton with great face.

The applause was very warm. It was much warmer than when Wang Qian appeared just now. Many people were clapping hard, which was quite different from the indifference when he applauded Wang Qian just now.

Everyone supports Elton to prove his talent and strength.

Elton was very satisfied with everyone's applause, then turned around and took a proud look at Wang Qian. The meaning was obvious - do you see that I am more popular here than you?

As a result, Elton saw that Wang Qian was also gently applauding him, still smiling. He seemed to care nothing about everything that happened, and he also supported and encouraged him.

Elton was stunned. He looked at Wang Qian carefully to see if Wang Qian was pretending and whether there was anger and tension in his eyes!

Then he was disappointed.

What he saw from Wang Qian's face and eyes was only a smile and expectation, as well as an absolute self-confidence from his bones.

This kind of self-confidence, which he didn't have, made him feel a little ashamed of this kind of self-confidence!

Because he doesn't have such confidence.

Elton was slightly shocked and said, "thank you for your applause and encouragement. Mr. Wang Qian questioned my talent. Then, I want to play a very difficult song here to prove my talent and strength. Do you agree?"

There were some responses from the audience.

"Agree!"

"Mr. Elton's strength is beyond doubt."

"Welcome!"

"Elton, a pirate!"

"Elton, a storm."

"Let's sing Wang Qian's own wild bee dance."

Some people who had a good relationship with Elton spoke out and interacted one after another.

Elton looked at Wang Qian and said, "Mr. Wang, do you mind if I play a song?"

Wang Qian stretched out his hand to the piano God, smiled and said, "of course I don't mind. To tell the truth, I'm also looking forward to Mr. Elton's performance! We are all musicians. It's the most interesting thing to talk with music."

Elton looked at Wang Qian and felt a great artist's aura, absolute self-confidence, grace and light from the depths of his soul!

Yes, there is a feeling of light.

It seems that Wang Qian's body radiates light!

Hiss!

Take a breath in your heart.

Elton was slightly shocked. This kind of aura, which he dared not dream of, belongs to the perfect aura in the artist's imagination.

He has met almost all the music artists in the world, the top ten pianists, the top ten violinists, the top ten conductors and so on.

However, none of the world's top artists has such a perfect, powerful and restrained aura as Wang Qian!

From a distance, he didn't feel it, as if Wang Qian was very ordinary and approachable.

However, looking closer, he deeply felt the artist's aura that directly touched the depths of his soul!

The more he saw it, the more he was infected by the rich artistic atmosphere, and the more rich the music perception in his heart was. He was unconsciously assimilated by the music artist aura of Wang Qian, which gradually melted the unconvinced, anger and complex psychology of finding fault in his heart. The rest was pure thinking about music!

Just looking at Wang Qian for a few seconds, Elton found that he seemed to be purified by Wang Qian.

He hurried away from his sight.

Elton took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then quickly and truly calmed down, and the whole person was fully engaged in the performance!

This

Elton walked slowly to the piano and sat down. He was shocked again!

This state

Almost the perfect state of his performance.

Every time he performed before, he needed several days of adjustment and brewing to reach this state during the performance, and then deduce the most desired live effect.

But now

He entered this state almost immediately.

Without long-term brewing and perception, it naturally entered the state immediately.

It made him feel wonderful.

Then

He looked at Wang Qian again. Seeing the warm smile on Wang Qian's face and the slightly encouraging eyes in his eyes, he felt a warm current rushing through his heart again. His state was unprecedented. At present, his hands suddenly pressed on the piano keys.

Dangdang

A violent opening piano sounded.

Wang Qian cocked up his ears to listen and looked at Elton's performance.

Elton entered the performance mode in an unprecedented state.

Wang Qian also listened very confidently and looked very seriously.

The scene was silent again!

However, many people still show a trace of surprise in their eyes!

Because

Elton's performance exceeded the expectations of all those familiar with Elton.

Next to Elton's seat sat his old classmate Mars at the Manhattan Conservatory of music. Mars looked at Elton playing, looked surprised, and said to the old classmate on the other side, "unexpectedly, Elton has made such great progress in recent years. God, he played the prelude to this pirate Rhapsody almost perfectly."

Mars has not heard Elton's performance for five years, so he feels that Elton's performance is much better than that five years ago, and has almost reached the world Master level, which makes him feel very urgent and ashamed.

Another old classmate who graduated from Manhattan Conservatory of music said, "yes, I can't believe it. In fact, I heard Elton's performance only last month. He didn't have such a good performance level at that time. This pirate rhapsody was performed by him without any defects."

Several people around listened and nodded gently.

Almost all of them know each other. Most of them are alumni from Manhattan College, so they are familiar with each other. At the same time, they are very familiar with the world famous pirate Rhapsody.

This song is one of the top ten difficult piano songs in the world, and it is also one of the indispensable tracks for many pianists to hold concerts. It sounds good and difficult, and can prove their level.

Moreover, this song also has a good symbolic significance, symbolizing the signs of the era of European immigration hundreds of years ago, and the violent and bloody beginning of the era of European immigration with pirates.

So!

This song is passionate and fast-paced, just like another song storm, but it also has an obvious smell of blood and the depression of death!

After all!

Pirates symbolize conquest and plunder. They bring blood and death, not peace.

Max, Dean of the piano school of Julia college, looked at Elton, frowned gently and said to Malone: "I heard a small performance of a love band in New York three days ago. Aisha rested and Elton played the piano. It happened that the full version of the song was played at that time. There was an obvious gap between Elton's performance at that time and now. It's hard to believe that he has made so much progress in just three days."

Malone's eyes didn't leave Wang Qian and Elton on the podium and said softly, "there are two possibilities. First, Elton may suddenly understand some of the inner essence of this song these two days, so he made great progress in playing. Another possibility is that Wang Qian had an impact on him!"

Max shook his head slightly: "Elton's skills have become perfect. The only defect is that he doesn't have enough inner understanding of the music and the piano, and his emotional appeal is not enough. Maybe he is still too young, and his experience and thinking are not enough. I don't believe he can remedy this defect in just a few days. It takes time to accumulate."

Malone: "so it may be Wang Qian from China who influenced him."

Max narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Qian carefully.

Malone also put down some prejudices in his heart and began to stare at Wang Qian carefully.

Two world-class music artists of the older generation looked at Wang Qian, and the more they looked, the more they felt their state of mind!

Because, the more carefully they looked, they found that they were unconsciously affected by the smell of Wang Qian, and the whole person became calm and focused!

The two old men looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. Then they quickly cleaned up their mood, continued to listen to Elton's performance, continued to stare at Wang Qian and dig out his secret.

This piece was originally a long Piano Concerto, which is often played by many well-known orchestras.

However, when playing a piano solo, you will only play a short climax part, which is also the most difficult part, so as to show off your skills.

So!

Only five minutes.

No one in the audience spoke again.

Stared at Elton for five minutes.

Elton was immersed in this song. When playing, he waved powerfully when pressing the keys with both hands, as if he were a pirate standing on the deck waving a knife. His face was occasionally ferocious and cruel, like a pirate fighting and looting at sea

This emotion is integrated into the piano and music.

Let many people who listen to music feel the same.

When the last note falls.

Elton's instinctive hands stopped, but the whole person was still immersed in the artistic conception of piano music, sitting in front of the piano and staring at the piano in a daze.

However, everyone at the scene quickly woke up, and many alumni from Manhattan Conservatory of music and their friends applauded hard!

Pop pop

Applause broke out.

Extremely warm!

Almost everyone was full of praise and sincerely sent their warmest applause.

Even if the teachers, students and alumni of several other colleges don't have a good relationship with Manhattan College, they sincerely give Elton their applause and recognize that Elton's performance is really wonderful.

The visiting delegations from the three major Conservatory of music in China also applauded enthusiastically.

He Chaohui whispered, "I have to say that Elton's level is really high. I can't play this pirate Rhapsody. I've heard it in China. It's really powerful!"

Yang Jiansen said: "it is worthy of being a top student who graduated from Manhattan College, and has been making progress for more than 20 years. Now it is the second pianist of the New York love orchestra. The love orchestra is really worthy of being a top Orchestra in the world. A pianist of this level can only be the second substitute piano."

Peng Donghu said with a little worry: "what should Professor Wang say? Look at Elton's trouble. If you just play this song, I don't think anyone can play better than this. Even if Professor Wang plays better, it's almost the same at most..."

Peng Donghu's words silenced the people of the three colleges present.

From the artistic conception of music, they know that they will face the most realistic problems next.

Elton is of high standard and plays this song almost perfectly, but he is the enemy

Elton came to the stage, not to play for everyone, but to prove himself and challenge Wang Qian!

What would he do with such a superb performance?

Can Wang Qian cope?

Everyone's faces were full of worry.

Qin Xuerong, Qin Xuehong and Liu Shengnan are all pretty and nervous.

However, after looking at Wang Qian, they calmed down a little.

Because!

Wang Qian on the podium still smiled and applauded with everyone. The action of applause was also very enthusiastic. He gave the applause to Elton.

Sophie whispered, "this Elton has played extraordinary. He held a small concert in France last year, and my father took me to support it. At that time, he also played this song, but it is far from the current level. He really played extraordinary this time, and he is really lucky."

Taylor has never heard of Elton's performance, but he generally knows that this person's level will certainly not reach the level of a world-class master, that is, the level of a well-known pianist at most, and ordinary well-known pianists can't play the artistic conception just now, which is definitely the level of a world-class master.

If Elton really has this level, he won't be the second piano of the love orchestra. Even if he can't completely replace Aisha, he is definitely qualified to compete fairly with Aisha, or he will go to several other major orchestras to fight for the piano chief and won't be willing to be a substitute.

Taylor frowned and said, "maybe it's a sudden feeling and extraordinary performance. I don't know what he will ask..."

They are also worried that Elton will challenge Wang Qian in this state, which is absolutely extremely difficult.

The audience of many other scenes were not worried. Most of them were gloating and looking forward to the play. They looked forward to how the boy from China would end.

You say people don't have talent?

In the twinkling of an eye, the family played this difficult song at the level of a world-class master!

What do you say?

applause!

It lasted nearly a minute.

The applause was extremely warm and lasting.

This is that some of the alumni of Manhattan College are deliberately rhythmic and keep the applause for so long, so as to show their differential treatment of Wang Qian.

See

We only give warm applause to real music masters.

So at first you didn't applaud

Unspoken meaning!

Everyone knows.

When the applause gradually stopped.

Elton stood up slowly from the piano. There was no anger at the beginning and the mood of finding fault on his face. There was only a kind of calm thinking and heartfelt gratitude!

This is the realm Elton has been pursuing. He thought he would need at least ten years of accumulation to do it, but now he has done it under the influence of Wang Qian.

Everyone calmed down and looked at Elton. They were a little surprised that Elton was not as proud as they thought and immediately challenged Wang Qian!

Elton stood up and bowed politely to everyone. Then, under the shocked eyes of everyone, he turned and bowed gently to Wang Qian standing next to him, and said softly, "thank you for your guidance just now, which makes me gain a lot."

Thousands of eyes are staring at this scene, and many people have dull eyes. Obviously, they didn't expect such a picture to happen, and they can't accept such a thing!

What about the agreed challenge?

What are you doing on stage?

What do you mean by bowing and thanking people in the twinkling of an eye?

Advice?

What did he give you?

Obviously, you blustered onto the stage, and then you didn't say a word!

There was no conversation about this song!

What advice?

What did you point out?

Thousands of people have such questions in their hearts. Many people are excited and want to say something, but they don't say it.

Malone and Max looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Both of them could roughly understand what Elton said and guess what had happened on the podium just now.

However, they still didn't believe it a little, so they didn't continue to talk, just looked at it and wanted to see more facts to prove their guess.

Several other world's top master musicians, like Malone and Max, also had a little thoughtful expression on their faces and obviously thought of something!

However, there were thousands of people on the scene, and only no more than ten people understood something.

No one else knows what happened.

Even he Chaohui, Yang Jiansen and Peng Donghu didn't know what had happened. They looked at each other and looked at each other.

Qin Xuerong, Qin Xuehong, Liu Shengnan, Xiao Dongmei, Ru Ke, Chen Xiaowen and so on are all full of doubts!

Taylor, Sophie, Zhenzhu Qianyu and Miyuki Nakasone looked at each other, frowning and thinking about what Elton meant.

Then, everyone stared at the two people on the podium.

Wang Qian calmly accepted Elton's etiquette, thanked him, and said softly, "you don't have to thank me. It's your accumulation to this extent, and then you played like this under my trigger. Therefore, you can do it only if you have enough inside information."

Elton smiled on his face, then looked at Wang Qian and said, "so, sir, you admit my talent, don't you? Do you admit that you were wrong just now?"

At this time, Elton still didn't forget his purpose of coming on stage.

Wang Qian said he had poor talent, which he could never bear.

So, he still has to prove himself!

It can't be said that he has poor talent for playing at this level, can he?

All the pianists in the world, who can play more perfectly than he just did?

Elton looked at Wang Qian and looked forward to Wang Qian's recognition of his talent and his mistake!

Well, he won!

Although he was grateful to Wang Qian for his help just now.

However, he still has to defend the dignity and honor of himself, the school and teachers.

But.

Wang Qian looked at all the quiet audience, shook his head and said, "no, Mr. Elton. It's because you don't have enough talent, so you couldn't do it before. You did it with my help. If you had enough talent, you would have done it long ago. By the way, can I ask what the song you just played is called?"

Elton winced and frowned.

He was trying to refute Wang Qian's words, but he couldn't think of a refutation point at once, because he really couldn't do it before. It was under the influence of Wang Qian that he quickly entered the state and played supernormal.

But

What did he ask?

What's the song called?

Elton frowned at Wang Qian: "Mr. Wang, don't you know the name of this song?"

Wang Qian looked at Elton calmly: "yes, I don't know. This is the first time I've heard this song. Although it's a great song and you play it very well, it's really the first time I've heard it."

There was another uproar at the quiet scene.

Many people have anger and disbelief on their faces.

"No way. He hasn't heard pirate Rhapsody. How did he learn the piano?"

"He's fooling around!"

"Maybe it's true, because he hasn't systematically studied music."

"He's insulting us!"

"He's insulting the piano..."

"Drive him away. I don't want to see him. He doesn't deserve to be there telling us music. He doesn't deserve it!"

Many people suddenly became angry and felt that people who didn't even know this song were qualified to tell them music? Who is qualified to stand on it?

Among the thousands of people on the scene, most of them graduated from several famous universities and can listen to world-famous tracks at will.

Professor Dawson said to Max and Malone, "when I first saw him, he said he had never heard of a storm, and I was shocked. Then I believed him."

Malone asked seriously, "has he really not systematically studied music? Has he really not practiced these tracks?"

Max and several music and art masters around him also looked at Professor Dawson curiously and wanted to know more about Wang Qian from Professor Dawson.

Professor Dawson said softly, "I don't think he's lying. The first few songs he played were named after the etude. They were written when he practiced the piano. They were specially used for his own practice, so they were all his own etudes."

Max, Malone, and several big masters in the field of European and American music and art were slightly shocked, but they really didn't believe it and couldn't believe it.

Because it's incredible.

No systematic study, no practice of world famous music, just practice out of thin air according to basic knowledge, write etudes out of thin air, and then practice to such a level? He also wrote zhixuerong, magic capital March, girl's prayer, dream wedding, wild bees flying, magic capital Rhapsody, such wonderful music?

I can't believe it.

Even if they had seen these news from Wang Qian's information on the Internet before, they laughed it off. They didn't believe it at all. They thought it was a good voice. The official deliberately wrote it to impress the public!

But now that Professor Dawson has said so, they have to think carefully about its authenticity.

Professor Dawson's character and credibility are trustworthy.

On the podium, Elton also stared at Wang Qian and replied, "this pirate March is a famous piano song two hundred years ago..."

Elton would like to explain in more detail.

However, Wang Qian directly interrupted him: "Oh, it's called the pirate March. It really deserves its name. Mr. Elton, don't you want to see what talent and strength are?"

Elton looked at Wang Qian and hadn't recovered.

Directly under his gaze and the gaze of thousands of people in the audience, Wang Qian went to the piano and sat down and said softly, "believe me, this song is really my first time to listen to and play!"

Then

Right under everyone's eyes.

Wang Qian directly stretched out his hands and suddenly hit the piano keys.

The violent notes spread all over the audience in an instant!

Stormy weather and fierce fighting suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Just a few notes in the prelude directly outlined the picture of pirate battle in a storm in everyone's mind, violent and tragic.

It is more violent and clear than Elton's performance just now, with stronger emotions, clearer pictures and stronger sense of substitution.

Elton stood directly in place and stared at Wang Qian.

Because!

He saw it.

Wang Qian has closed his eyes.

And!

He also saw.

Wang Qian's left hand is just fixed on the two keys on the left. His right hand moves madly and presses most of the keys

This

This

It's almost playing with one hand!

With your eyes closed.

Except for the two keys that were too fast for his right hand to reach, all the other notes were completed with one hand of Wang Qian's right hand.

And.

There are no errors at this time.

Moreover, the rhythm and mood are extremely perfect!

Elton felt that it was more perfect than his performance just now.

That kind of tragic and violent, more clear, more bloody, and in the bloody and violent mood, there is a kind of joy if there is no shadow, creating a sense of joy looking forward to a bumper harvest!

This

This

This

Elton was hit hard.

The notes and the actions of Wang Qian hit his heart like a sledgehammer, making his face a little pale!

This

Is that talent?

And thousands of people at the scene!

It was silent.

Many comments just now disappeared.

The anger and doubt on many faces just now also disappeared cleanly.

The rest is immersion, appreciation, and many unbelievable!

Some of the audience in the front row looked even more shocked, because they were very close, they could more clearly see Wang Qian's performance process and Wang Qian's superb performance skills.

The program team kindly projected the shooting picture onto the back curtain.

Then

Everyone in the audience could clearly see every detail of Wang Qian's performance.

therefore!

Everyone in the audience was more quiet.

Many viewers behind feel that they have a lot of difficulty breathing!

This is an extremely difficult performance that almost everyone on the scene can't do and never thought of.

While maintaining such super difficult skills, we can also express our emotions perfectly, so that every audience has a strong sense of substitution!

It seems that the whole song sounds much better and more attractive than Elton just now. It seems that what you hear is not notes, but clear pictures.

Many people in North America and even the world who watched this TV program were quiet in front of the TV.

Even on several social platforms, it seems much quieter at this moment.

Everybody!

At the moment, they all look at the picture, the player with eyes closed, his left hand fixed on the two buttons, and his right hand moves wildly, almost turning into a virtual shadow.

Stormy, bloody and cruel.

When it's over

Is a happy harvest.
