Chapter 485 Wonderful Crazy II!
Amid the warm applause, Liu Yufan and Peric stood opposite each other, applauding each other, and then shook hands and greeted each other enthusiastically.
Although the two of them didn't understand the language, the collaboration just now gave the two people a sense of being a soulmate. Especially Peric, when he just collaborated with this young man, he actually felt like he was re-understanding this song.
"Hello, I am Peric, the chief violinist of the Utrecht Symphony Orchestra. I'm very happy to meet you." Peric looked at Liu Yufan and said with a happy look. The cooperation just now really made him feel very happy.
However, Liu Yufan was a little embarrassed at this moment, because the other party was speaking English, and he had no idea what the other person was talking about.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Wang Yujia took the initiative to come and relieve him. He translated Peric's meaning to Liu Yufan in a few words.
"Oh, hello, I am Liu Yufan from China. Your violin is great." Liu Yufan looked at Perichi and nodded with a smile. It is really rare for a foreigner to use a violin to show Liang Zhu to such a level. At this moment, Liu Yufan couldn't help but secretly compare Perichi and Jimmy. After comparison, he found that Perichi was stronger. Although Jimmy's piano skills were also very exquisite, he was younger after all, and he had a very "straight" and "hard" feeling, but Perichi didn't have this problem. The piano just now was soft and hard, and it was round and natural, and his master's style was revealed.
"Haha, Mr. Liu, you are too awarded. This piece of piano you just now really opened my eyes. If I guessed correctly, you are a professional pianist." Peric said to Liu Yufan with a smile after listening to the translation of the beautiful Chinese girl.
"No, I'm just a student at the moment. This time I came here to participate in the competition and also to study." Liu Yufan said modestly with a smile.
"Oh, I understand. It's the Liszt Cup." When Peric heard Liu Yufan talk about the competition, his face immediately showed pride and admiration. In Utrecht, when referring to the Liszt Cup, no one was not proud, especially those who are professional musicians like Peric. After all, it was a top international piano competition. And admiration was because Liu Yufan was a contestant.
Yes, as long as the players who are qualified to participate in the Liszt Cup piano competition are qualified to be admired. Regardless of the results, this qualification alone is enough to illustrate many problems.
"Haha, Mr. Liu, you are so polite. Those who are qualified to participate in the Liszt Cup, no matter what his identity is, he is already a pianist." Perridge said, looking at Jace, who had been trying to say something, and said, "Liu. Let me introduce you. This guy must have been scared by your performance just now. You see, he doesn't know what to say now." Perridge said with a humorous look on his face.
Liu Yufan naturally would not take Peric's words seriously. He looked at Jace who smiled and reached out to him. He held it up with a smile.
"Hello, Jace, I'm glad to know you." Liu Yufan held Jace's hand and looked at the keyboardist at the same time.
Unlike Perridge's artistic look, Jace's appearance is very ordinary, and he is the kind of person who can't be seen when thrown on the street. He is wearing a casual jeans and a baseball cap, but he has several big rings on his outstretched hand.
"Hello, Liu, I just watched your performance, it's so wonderful. I hope we can learn about piano playing skills when I have time." Jace smiled and nodded at Liu Yufan. To be honest, Liu Yufan's performance just now really shocked him. He has been playing the keyboard for more than ten years. Although he is not as professional as a professional, he is almost the same. However, after seeing Liu Yufan's performance, he realized where the gap is. It was an indescribable feeling. In short, Jace felt that this guy's level was far above him. Thinking that the other party was a contestant in the Lister Cup, Jace's heart was balanced all of a sudden.
The players participating in the Liszt Cup are all outstanding among professional pianists. It is not surprising that they can perform like this.
The content of the chatting of several people, the audience onlookers could naturally hear clearly. When they learned that this young man was a contestant who came to participate in the Liszt Cup piano competition, the citizens of Utrecht once again showed their love for art and shouted loudly to ask the contestant from China to play another song for them.
However, Liu Yufan was confused when he looked at the excited look of those people and did not understand what they were saying.
Fortunately, Wang Yujia and Lang Lang are both good at English, which is why he once again helped him.
"Haha, junior brother, your performance just now shocked these foreigners. They asked you to play them for another period." Wang Yujia quipped.
"Haha, these people are really enthusiastic." Liu Yufan said to Wang Yujia with a smile, and then asked Lang Lang: "Is it too late to get the competition certificate?"
"Haha, don't worry about this, just play it with confidence. You can get that ID at any time. You can keep it for them to keep it for you. You don't have to worry about losing it. Anyway, the competition will be held after the genius, so you can satisfy these enthusiastic audiences and find the feeling of the game by the way." Lang Lang quipped.
"Haha, that's right, but I always feel that it's not that reliable when practicing with this electric piano." Liu Yufan said with a smile.
"It's okay, Roland's electric steel has a good sense of bonding, and its strength is only a little lighter than Stanway's real steel, and it will not have any major impact on the feel." Lang Lang said with a smile.
"Then I'll play another piece." Liu Yufan said with a smile, then returned to Roland's electric steel again, and said to these audiences with anticipation with a smile: "Since everyone supports it so much, I'll play another piece for you. Since I'm here to participate in the Lister Cup, I'll play a part of Lister's work for you. Well, play a part of "Hungarian Rhapsody" No. 2." Liu Yufan said.
Wang Yujia immediately translated Liu Yufan's words in real time, and the onlookers naturally burst into warm applause.
Although Utrecht is not Liszt's hometown, the citizens here have deep feelings for this genius composer. Liszt is their honor and pride. When they hear someone performing his works, the citizens were all excited.
Among all Liszt's works, "Hungarian Rhapsody" is the most representative and the one that best reflects Liszt's playing style. In this series of works, Liszt combines Hungarian folk dance elements into his works, vividly expressing the passionate and unrestrained image of the Hungarian nation.
Of course, the "Hungarian Rhapsody" series is also the most difficult part of Liszt's works, especially "Crazy II", which has always been regarded as a classic by many pianists. Liu Yufan had the courage to play this song "Crazy II" in such a public occasion, which is also a sign of full confidence in himself.
The onlookers saw that Liu Yufan was about to start playing and consciously calmed down.
His hands suddenly raised and landed heavily on the keys. The main chord in C minor raised with a hint of sadness hit everyone's hearts. Although it was just an electric piano, it burst into a very strong sense of impact under Liu Yufan's hands! These chords seemed to be telling the deep suffering of the Hungarian nation. Hearing this piece of music, the audience's faces showed a bit of solemnity.
I don’t know when, among the onlookers, there were a few Asian faces. The leader’s one was handsome, but with a hint of soft neutral beauty. He was wearing a white suit. Behind him were a few men in black, all of whom were European and American, and they were wearing cool sunglasses. He looked similar to the bodyguard on TV.
The handsome young man in white looked at the performance in the venue, but a playful smile appeared on his face.
His fingers flew, and the sturdy steel piano stand was trembling slightly! The melody changed from the C-scaling minor to the E-scaling major, which became more open and the melody became more enthusiastic.
In order to participate in this Liszt Cup, Liu Yufan spent most of his energy practicing Liszt's works during this period. He played classic Liszt's works almost a dozen times every day. Now, he no longer needs to reflect the score in his mind. It is a subconscious reaction from his fingers, which is a kind of "muscular memory". This is the highest level of memorizing scores by a pianist. Berezovsky, a famous Russian pianist, known as the "piano genius", was able to perform twelve super etudes by Liszt in one breath and memorize the score completely. If these scores are really printed, they may be able to produce a thick book. Apart from muscle memory, there is no notation that can record all these songs so abnormally.
The keyboardist Jace was frightened when he looked at the violently shaking stalk and the Chinese who was not affected at all when playing in front of the keyboard. You know, although the stalk he used was not as stable as the four-legged ground, it was also specially made and prepared for professional performance. It can make the stalk shake to such a level, which shows how strong the other party played. This made him a little worried whether the other party would collapse his stalk.
But at this moment, his attention was unconsciously attracted by the oriental's performance, and his flying fingers were like magic, firmly attracting his gaze!
After nearly nine minutes of performance, Liu Yufan's subordinates did not stop for a moment, and did it in one go without a trace of error!
When he knocked out the last strong chord and ended the whole performance, thunderous applause suddenly rang out. Such a wonderful performance made the audience full of ears. They knew that such a level of performance was enough to hold a concert, and they were exempted from tickets.
"Papapapapapapa!" As the applause gradually faded, an applause suddenly sounded out of place. At the same time, a young man in a white suit and a handsome appearance came forward and walked towards Liu Yufan. (To be continued)
