Looking at the many great pianists in history, their most representative work is not just one piece.
Rather, it is a series of works that can express its core style and ideas, and can be studied as a separate category of art by future generations.
so.
Even though each of the piano pieces Wang Qian released before was as good as the excellent works of those great pianists in history, no one would say that he could become a great pianist.
because.
He has not yet brought together his artistic ideas and stylistic thinking into a representative series of works.
certainly!
In the eyes of many people, although it is not an exaggeration to say that Wang Qian’s strength and personal talent are the best in the world today, in terms of artistic evaluation, he is at most a master pianist.
Because Wang Qian doesn’t even have an award, nor a successful world tour.
In other words, Wang Qian has not yet gained recognition in the field of music and art around the world.
However, Wang Qian started the first performance of his piano series directly on the world's most watched stage in history, the World Championships.
This shows that…
Wang Qian simply didn't care about the recognition in the field of music and art around the world. He just charged towards becoming a master pianist on his own, wanting to have his name forever engraved in the history books of world music and art.
Every master and practitioner in the field of music and art, as well as many audience members who knew something about this, all opened their eyes wide.
Ru Ke, who was sitting in the crowd, said to Liu Shengnan and others around him: "If Professor Wang succeeds, the development of the entire Chinese piano field will directly become the world's top. If Professor Wang is willing to focus on piano in the future, he can make several Chinese music colleges into the center of the world's music and art field!"
"I hope Professor Wang can succeed!"
Ru Ke said sincerely, staring at the figure on the stage.
Chen Xiaowen, who also graduated from the Central Conservatory of Music, said: "Yes, Professor Wang is doing something groundbreaking. If he succeeds, no one in the world can stop him. Come on, Professor Wang!"
Liu Shengnan exclaimed: "This is Professor Wang, daring to be the first in the world!"
Xiao Dongmei didn't say anything, but her watery eyes were filled with shock and support, and her eyes were also looking at the figure on the stage.
The figure suddenly became extremely tall, as if carrying endless expectations and carrying enormous pressure. He moved forward step by step, breaking down all impossible difficulties one by one and opening up a path that no one had ever walked before.
Many music artists around me who graduated from famous classical music schools in Europe and the United States all feel tremendous pressure!
In the field of classical music, there has not been a master pianist in nearly a hundred years.
If only one appeared now!
He is a pianist from China!
So how should these European and American music artists, who have always looked down upon Chinese musicians, deal with this
When each pair of eyes looked at Wang Qian, they kept asking questions from the depths of their souls.
Why is it him
Why can he
Many people have instinctive and natural doubts in their eyes!
"I don't believe he can do it."
A middle-aged man said.
The old man Max next to him said calmly, "Just listen. You will know whether you can do it or not when the time comes. Moreover, today is only his first attempt, so it is normal even if he fails. However, in the past thirty years, he is the first person who dares to charge towards this level."
"So, even if he fails, he is still someone we deserve to recognize."
After hearing Max's words, several world-class music artists around him all looked much more relaxed and thoughtful.
But the middle-aged man continued: "How did he succeed?"
Max glanced at the other person and saw that he was a performer from his academy. He still said calmly: "If he succeeds, you should thank him!"
Several people around looked at Max in surprise.
I don't know why Max said that.
From the perspective of the Juilliard School, shouldn't Wang Qian be suppressed
Why thank him
The middle-aged man was full of dissatisfaction: "Why should I thank him? He doesn't deserve it! He has never learned any professional music theory knowledge for a day... He just got lucky..."
Max gave him a stern look, and then said in an even colder tone: "Just for one thing, you should thank him."
After a pause, Max said solemnly: "He gave you the money to sit here and watch his performance and talk freely. How can you look down on him!"
moment.
The middle-aged man who graduated from the Juilliard School turned red in the face, opened his mouth, and was unable to speak for a moment.
Several middle-aged men around him, who were originally dissatisfied and looked down on and resisted Wang Qian, all looked unhappy.
They have all recently earned a lot of money by performing Wang Qian's works. Some of them have held concerts using Wang Qian's works, and some have opened training classes to teach Wang Qian's works. They have all earned a lot of money and have the spare money to spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy tickets for this performance.
Max's words spoke deep in their hearts, the facts that they were unwilling to admit.
Max saw that they were all silent, so he didn't continue to poke at their sore spots. He just said lightly: "Listen carefully and feel his greatness. Classical music has not made any progress in more than half a century. If he can really make further progress, then he will surely lead the entire classical music forward, which is a good thing for all of us."
“Perhaps, none of us will have the chance to surpass him in this lifetime. However, all of us will live better than before.”
After hearing what Max said, the people around him seemed to be thinking about something and their faces looked a little unhappy.
They still had some resistance to Wang Qian in their hearts, but they also knew that what Max said was true.
When everyone's eyes looked at Wang Qian sitting in front of the piano on the stage again, there was a lot more inexplicable feeling, and there was also a hint of expectation in the depths of their eyes.
Jennifer had already walked off the stage. Although she wanted to stay on the stage and chat and interact with Wang Qian, this was a rare opportunity for her to be alone with Wang Qian.
However, she knew this was impossible and did not want to cause trouble for Wang Qian, so she quickly stepped down and handed the stage to Wang Qian.
When Jennifer came to the backstage, she saw Nakamori Miyuki standing there and Sophie who had just arrived. She smiled and walked up to stand beside Sophie and said, "If Professor Wang Qian succeeds, we will all be witnesses of recent history."
Miyuki Nakamori said with certainty: "Professor Wang will definitely succeed."
Sophie recalled all the piano talents and abilities that Wang Qian had demonstrated before, and nodded, saying, "He has such abilities and talent, I believe he can do it."
As a piano genius, Sophie is the one among the three who knows best what Wang Qian is doing, and is also the one who most expects Wang Qian to succeed.
If Wang Qian can succeed, then there will be no obstacles in her proposal to her father to go to China. She believes that her father Ma Long will definitely not have any obstruction or objection.
The three of them stopped talking and just stood quietly backstage, closest to Wang Qian. Three pairs of eyes quietly looked at the figure sitting in front of the piano on the stage with his back to them.
In the lounge.
Qin Xuerong, Jiang Yu, Juliet, Murong Yue, Zhao Wei, and He Fulin were also staring at the screen and looking at Wang Qian seriously.
Zhao Wei and He Fulin are both old-timers of rock music and have never been interested in classical music, so they don’t quite understand the significance of what Wang Qian is doing at the moment.
Jiang Yu and Juliet, the two piano geniuses, understood the situation the best and were the most nervous. They stared at Wang Qian closely.
Qin Xuerong and Murong Yue are not good at playing the piano, but they understand some of the meanings of it. They stare at Wang Qian with anticipation.
Far away in China!
At this time, there was silence and tension in several academies including the Central Conservatory of Music, the Magic Conservatory of Music, and the Zhejiang Conservatory of Music, which organized students to watch Wang Qian's performance.
He Chaohui nervously said to the vice president beside him: "If Professor Wang succeeds, it will be a new era."
The vice president also understood this very well and said excitedly: "I hope Professor Wang can succeed. When the time comes, I will directly propose to give Professor Wang the title of honorary president."
Wow, he was promoted directly from professor to principal...
but.
Neither He Chaohui, nor the other veteran artists around him, nor the few students and teachers who heard it thought there was anything wrong.
It is really an honor for the Central Conservatory of Music to have a master-level music artist serve as the principal of the Central Conservatory of Music. It is a true condescension!
certainly.
He Chaohui and several professors in the piano department understand it better.
In fact, Wang Qian's appointment to three music conservatories in China was also a way of giving them face.
However, no one was thinking about these things at this time. They were all staring at the screen, and saw Wang Qian sitting quietly in front of the piano for nearly a minute without any movement.
The auditorium of the Central Conservatory of Music was filled with thousands of teachers and students, and everyone was extremely quiet. No one spoke, as if they were afraid that talking here would disturb Wang Qian on the TV.
In fact.
The 100,000 spectators at the scene were all extremely quiet at this moment.
Everyone stopped talking and just looked at Wang Qian quietly, looking forward to his piano performance.
Christine, Green, Garbo, Ellie and others didn't say a word, they just stared at Wang Qian.
Wang Qian sat in front of the piano. After about a minute and a half, when his emotions had reached their limit, he slowly raised his hands and pressed them on the piano keys.
then…
An elegant melody like flowing water at night slowly flowed from Wang Qian's hands.
It flowed into the ears of all the viewers at the scene and in front of TV around the world.
Just these few notes...
Clear pictures seemed to appear before everyone's eyes.
On a quiet night, the leaves rustled and the river flowed slowly.
A poetic and picturesque scene emerges spontaneously.
It seems that every note is an extremely moving sentence.
It seemed that Wang Qian was not playing the piano, but chanting a beautiful and dim poem.
Many music artists in the audience simply closed their eyes, as if this would make it easier for them to appreciate the beauty of each note and see clearly the moving aspects of the poetic and picturesque scenes.
Compared with Wang Qian's previous performance of Exodus and the popular Magic City Rhapsody, Wang Qian's piece is obviously more popular with artists in many fields of music and art, because the first two pieces have very good sales and are obviously popular piano pieces, so the artistic elements are relatively less.
The piece Wang Qian is playing now is obviously a work with a strong classical artistic flavor.
It is also different in style from all the works Wang Qian has performed before.
At the same time, it is also somewhat different from the mainstream music and art works that many music artists on the scene are familiar with.
It has a unique flavor and a clearer playing style!
A moment...
Many people naturally incorporate this into Wang Qian’s personal style.
At this time, Wang Qian had also closed his eyes, and even his hands, which were moving on the piano keys, became soft, as if his body had no strength at all. His hands seemed to move freely, playing random notes at will. This feeling brought an extremely elegant, soft and harmonious feeling to all the audience watching him at the scene and in front of the TV.
It seemed as if Wang Qian had become one with the piano.
The poetic and picturesque atmosphere became much more intense.
The music also became better!
Obviously, although this piece of music has a strong classical music artistry, it is also popular and pleasant to listen to.
It can be appreciated and recognized by many music artists, and also made many ordinary audiences feel it is pleasant to the ears rather than boring.
For some classical music, the performers themselves are extremely happy, but the general audience is almost falling asleep...
Wang Qian's current performance has no such problems at all.
It can be described as appealing to both the elite and the masses.
This piece of music is actually one of Wang Qian’s favorites. The Chopin Nocturne in E-flat major in his previous life’s memory is one of the representative works of the Nocturne series and is also the work of Chopin that is most heard by the world.
The title of Piano Poet is fully demonstrated in this work.
But in this world, there is no such piano music as nocturne.
Wang Qian's first performance made all pianists, musicians, and people who understood music feel a little strange.
feel…
It's a bit novel, but it doesn't seem to be anything special.
because.
It's just a song, and it can't express the style of this song too clearly and profoundly.
but.
Everyone listened extremely attentively.
Ma Long, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Wang Qian, who seemed to be one with the piano. He exclaimed softly, "This is a kind of enjoyment! I haven't heard such a piano performance that I enjoy for a long time. I encountered it when I was a child, but the more I understand the piano, the harder it is to enjoy it."
"I thought I would never be able to enjoy this feeling again in my life."
“I didn’t expect that now he has done it.”
Leon next to him said: "He seems to be writing a poem! I really want to see the night in Paris..."
All the music artists present and listening around the world were shocked at this moment.
They know.
They may really become witnesses of history today.
