Chapter 285 284. You all can't do it? But, I really can. (Subscribe!)

The same piece of music, the same song, when performed by different people, can have different styles and emotional meanings.

World famous music, when played by different masters, will have its own understanding and express different things.

Master is not just a title for playing skills, but a true master of musical art. He has his own unique insights in music and art, and can integrate them into his own music, and be recognized and appreciated by the world. Only then can he be truly called a master of art.

Because art itself is very idealistic.

What is arsenic to others is elixir to me.

This sentence is vividly reflected in the field of art.

How high an art master's achievements and status are depends on how many people can recognize his artistic ideas and how much influence they can have.

And its final intuitive manifestation can actually be measured by value.

The higher the status of a music master, the higher the price of his performance, the more expensive the tickets sell for, the more people come to see his performance, and the higher his income!

The higher the status of an art master, the more valuable his works will be.

Masters of carving, calligraphy, etc. can all use the same values ​​to reflect their status and strength.

So! Many artists disdain money, but in the end they still have to use money to measure themselves. Even if they are reluctant, the world will still use money to measure the value of their works and will still use it to rank them.

Every music artist at the scene had to admit that Wang Qian played this Pirate Rhapsody, which each of them had played many times, in his own style, and it was a very unique and attractive style! That kind of sunshine and joyful harvest feeling! It was something that none of them had ever shown before.

However, Wang Qian now uses his unique emotional expression to interpret another side of this song full of violence, blood and cruelty, and elevates the artistry of this song to a higher level.

What's more.

Wang Qian not only elevates the music but also performs superb showmanship.

The scene of playing almost with one hand made everyone who knew piano dizzy, unbelievable and extremely shocked.

Max, Malone, Kalman, Dawson and others all looked very focused and serious! They were all at the top of the world's piano field, almost representing the pinnacle of piano art in the world, but none of them could do this.

They have performed this piece of music publicly at least dozens or hundreds of times in their lifetime, and have practiced it privately countless times. However, no matter how skilled they are, they can never show off their skills like Wang Qian.

Because this is a very difficult piece of music. If a performer can play it skillfully, it means that his level is quite good! Mysteries like this are beyond their physical and mental range.

Kalman looked at Dawson and whispered, "This is a surprise!"

Dawson smiled and nodded, and whispered back, "I must admit that I was also gambling. But he gave us a surprise right from the start. Such a showmanship is unparalleled."

Kalman nodded in agreement: "Unparalleled."

Max heard it and praised: "Indeed, he is unparalleled in terms of skills. However, I appreciate his artistic expression even more."

Ma Long remained silent, but the admiration in his eyes could not be concealed, he just didn't want to say it out loud.

Many other classical music artists and classical music lovers watched and listened attentively without making the slightest sound!

Most of the viewers in front of the TV are definitely not familiar with classical music, and most of them may not have even heard this piece of music, but they can still feel the extraordinaryness of it from Wang Qian's performance and the atmosphere on the scene! Someone quickly said on the Internet: "My God, this is the most dazzling live performance I have ever seen. His playing skills on this piece are simply god-like. Of course, what shocked me even more was his expression of this piece of music, which amazed me even more! This is a version of expression that I have never heard of. He is amazing!"

The speaker was a pianist, but he was not very famous. However, his speech was extremely professional and attracted some people's attention and likes.

Five minutes! It was over in no time.

The scene remained silent the entire time. Apart from the sound of Wang Qian's piano, no other sound was heard.

In the last section, Wang Qian's performance mood suddenly became much lower, conveying a feeling of sadness and the end of the song. The rhythm of the music was still violent, but it was filled with strong sadness and catharsis.

Pirates will eventually be judged!

Eventually, it will turn into a tragedy.

Civilized order will eventually be restored.

This is also an emotional expression that many other performers have never produced.

In fact! This emotional interpretation is the main melody of the last section of the complete song "Pirate Rhapsody".

The section being played now is the climax of the whole piece, expressing the violence and bloodiness of pirate life.

Therefore, performers generally don’t express the emotions of the ending summary in this section! Wang Qian didn’t know this piece of music at all, nor was he familiar with the completeness of the piece, so he added his own understanding to it, allowing this short climax to convey the emotions of the entire piece of music, making this short piece of music more complete, as if it were a complete life in itself.

From killing and plundering to harvest, and then to the final judgment and death!

There is a beginning, a climax, and an end.

That's life.

Listen to the last part.

Everyone has an inexplicable feeling and a profound admiration, as if they see their own life in it.

Ding-Dang-Ding…

The last few notes fell.

Wang Qian slowly lifted his hands off the piano.

The scene remained silent.

The vast majority of people were still immersed in the concept of a complete life that Wang Qian had just created, which caused many people to have many thoughts and they were unable to wake up for a while.

However, a small number of people have remained sober, such as top music artists such as Max, Malone, and Kalman, who have always kept a relatively clear head. Although they were also shocked by Wang Qian's performance and emotions, they have always been able to maintain their independent thinking ability and will not be too deeply affected by Wang Qian's emotions.

So, they all looked at the figure sitting in front of the piano on the podium with clear eyes and shock.

Elton, who was closest to Wang Qian, also remained sober, because he was always comparing, making clear comparisons between his own performance and Wang Qian's.

Keep comparing.

He found out.

His performance was indeed not as good as Wang Qian's! Not to mention Wang Qian's showmanship, he simply couldn't do it.

In terms of the expression of the music and the appeal of the scene, he is a level behind Wang Qian! But...

Elton's eyes were slightly confused - I have done it well, I have performed beyond my normal level, I have played to the level of a world-class master...

There is still a clear gap between him and Wang Qian!

So, what level is this young Chinese man in front of him? How did he do it? Elton became confused.

After Wang Qian finished playing, he did not get up immediately, but sat in his seat, slowly recalling his performance, which made him quite tired! This was his highest level of performance skills, and he also gave it his all.

Because he really didn't know the song, so he used his temporary super memory ability to replicate Elton's performance and then added his own understanding to it.

In fact, this kind of talent is the most amazing.

Sit here and continue to think and rest for a while.

Wang Qiancai slowly stood up, then turned around and bowed lightly to everyone present, saying two words lightly: "Thank you..."

Everyone at the scene woke up instantly.

The applause immediately exploded.

Snap, snap, snap…

All those who had regained consciousness instinctively clapped their hands vigorously, applauding the performance that had just enchanted them.

All eyes were fixed on Wang Qian.

Almost all the looks were no longer as cold and scrutinizing as they were at the beginning, but were filled with amazement, surprise, shock, and disbelief.

No one dared to believe that the performance that almost surpassed that of previous performances was performed by the young Chinese man on the podium whom they had always looked down upon.

No one dared to believe that the dazzling performance that just dazzled them was done by this young Chinese! He was too young...

Compared to his playing ability and skills, he is unbelievably young.

The Chinese delegation had the most intense reaction here.

He Chaohui, Yang Jiansen and Peng Donghu were the first to stand up with their relatives and gave their warmest applause to Wang Qian.

Yang Jiansen's face flushed with excitement, and he said in an extremely excited tone: "Amazing, so amazing. I knew that Professor Wang had always been hiding his full strength, and we have never been able to let him exert his full strength. This is Professor Wang, this is the real him..."

Peng Donghu also said: "Only when standing on a truly top international stage can Professor Wang show his full strength. It's amazing. I thought Elton's performance was impeccable just now, but unexpectedly, Professor Wang's performance was even more perfect and complete. When he was showing off his skills, I couldn't even see his hands clearly. It was too fast. It was amazing!"

They had never dared to think about performing such a difficult piece of music with one hand!

You know, difficult songs are not just talk. Every song that is recognized as difficult has its own absolute difficulty. It is difficult for ordinary people to even play it completely!

Even for some extremely difficult pieces, to play them completely and smoothly, it is not enough to use just two hands; you also need the temporary help of your elbows and arms to press the keys in order to play them smoothly.

In the entire history of classical music, no one has ever been able to perform such a difficult piece of music with almost one hand like Wang Qian.

Not to mention how this class will develop later, Wang Qianyi's opening performance alone is enough to enter the history of world classical piano music and be remembered and worshipped by all those who study piano in the future.

He Chaohui had a bright smile on her face. She stared at Wang Qian and said, "When Professor Wang returns from North America, he will give a class at the Central Conservatory of Music. It will be an honor for the Central Conservatory of Music. I think today's class may be recorded in the history of classical music."

Yang Jiansen and Peng Donghu both looked at He Chaohui enviously.

After today's class is over, they can imagine that Wang Qian's status in the world of classical music will rise like a rocket.

When Wang Qian returns to China, he will be filled with honors and will become the undisputed number one pianist in the country. Ming Ming and several other young pianists will not be able to compare with him.

By then, the treatment and attention Wang Qian will receive when he lectures at CAFA will be very different. It may really attract the attention of many famous classical music schools and masters in the world, and greatly enhance the international reputation of CAFA.

This... is what every music school in their country dreams of.

Art schools in China are still in the initial stages, that is, they need to become famous!

Internationally renowned classical music schools, such as Curtis, Manhattan, Juilliard, Eastman, etc., have long passed the stage of gaining fame and accumulating reputation, and have entered the stage of settling down and conducting academic research. Their halo has already been created, and they only need to enjoy the admiration of the world. The next step is to continue to conduct academic research and improve themselves.

This requires a long period of accumulation to achieve.

Obviously, many art schools in China still need a long time to accumulate their foundation.

And Wang Qian may become an important figure in the accumulation of foundation for CAFM in the future.

The eyes of Yang Jiansen and Peng Donghu both flashed with thought. They were obviously thinking about how to build a good relationship with Wang Qian in the future and accumulate more fame from Wang Qian to help the school improve its international status.

Warm applause.

It keeps going on.

Taylor and Sophie looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Taylor had seen Wang Qian's live performance in the Magic Sound Exchange Class before, but at that time Wang Qian obviously did not have the full strength to play a difficult piece of music like he does now, so the feeling he gave her was different. The Magic City Rhapsody he performed in Los Angeles last time was also of average difficulty and was not as shocking as this Pirate Rhapsody.

Sophie had seen Wang Qian’s live performance at a show in Los Angeles, and they had also exchanged ideas about piano playing with each other. She only felt that Wang Qian was unfathomable, but it was far less shocking than his actual live performance now!

Sophie just felt her blood boiling, this was the state she had always dreamed of!

Looking at Wang Qian, Sophie just wanted to rush over to Wang Qian's arms and do whatever she wanted to do - right on the piano. The piano and Wang Qian would be everything in her life.

Both of them clearly saw the huge gap between themselves and Wang Qian.

They no longer had the pride of being the world's top piano geniuses. They felt that in front of Wang Qian's performance, they were so clumsy, like a beginner.

Chiba Mao, Nakamori Miyuki, Chen Xiaowen, Ru Ke, Jiang Yu, Murong Yue and other people who have achieved success in the field of music all felt it particularly clearly and were deeply shocked by the powerful and wonderful live performance skills displayed by Wang Qian at this moment.

Everyone clapped hard.

The applause lasted for a full minute before it stopped.

Longer than the applause they gave Elton just now.

Everyone was obviously very willing to give Wang Qian such a long round of applause.

Although, they all have prejudices and some discriminatory mentality.

However, in front of such a powerful and wonderful performance, all those messy emotions disappeared completely.

All that is left is appreciation and expectation! And...

Dig in!

Looking forward to discovering more surprises from Wang Qian.

applause.

Gradually stop.

Wang Qian stood there, facing everyone, and calmly accepted the applause for so long. When the applause died down, he said, "Mr. Elton, what do you think of my performance just now?"

Elton smiled bitterly and said, "It was an unparalleled performance. Compared to you, my talent is indeed far from enough. I think I need to work harder to make up for the lack of talent."

Faced with such a wonderful performance.

Elton also had to publicly admit that Wang Qian was right.

You are awesome, everything you say is right! But...

Elton was still not convinced in his heart.

after all……

Compared with you, I am not talented enough.

But there is only one you in the world!

Compared with others, I am quite talented and much better than most people who study piano.

However, Elton would not say this, because in front of Wang Qian's performance that conquered him, any excuse would be quibbling, so it would be better for him to just lie down and admit it.

Wang Qian reached out and gently pressed a note on the piano, saying, "You have quite a talent. After the performance I just gave you, I think you should go back and reflect on it. Your performance may improve. I am looking forward to meeting you next time and seeing what surprises you will bring me."

Elton's eyes regained their calmness. He looked at Wang Qian and bowed slightly. He said solemnly: "Thank you Mr. Wang Qian for your help. I will work hard when I go back."

Wang Qian stepped aside and refused to accept Elton's gift: "No need for that, Mr. Elton, go back and have a rest!"

Elton nodded, and under the slightly surprised and thoughtful gazes of everyone, he walked down the podium, his face calm and full of longing, without any of the decadence and unwillingness of failure, as if he was the winner.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Most people don't understand what's going on.

Elton, who had come to the stage to pick a fight with great momentum, was slapped in the face. Why didn't he get angry? Instead, he was so calm and even thanked Wang Qian?

Pairs of eyes looked at Elton in confusion.

Only a few of the world's top music artists such as Max, Malone, Kalman, Dawson, etc. roughly understand what happened to Elton and why he did it.

Elton said nothing, faced everyone's gaze calmly, and then returned to his seat and sat down.

Mars, an old classmate, immediately leaned over to Elton's ear and asked, "Hey, man, what happened just now?"

The alumni from the Manhattan School of Music around him also looked at Elton; some showed concern, some gloated, and some looked disdainful and just wanted to watch the fun.

Elton smiled slightly, looked at Wang Qian on the podium, and said seriously: "My friend, if you don't go on stage and feel it yourself, you won't know what it feels like. Mr. Wang Qian has a very mysterious aura that helps me get into the state better. As soon as I went on stage just now, it was as if I was sublimated. I was able to play my best, even beyond my normal state, and play the perfect state I want."

"It's amazing! He is a real great artist, a great artist I have never met. He gave me some pointers, and when I go back and digest them, my piano playing level may be greatly improved."

Elton finally gave Wang Qian a high evaluation.

Mars and the people around him were obviously skeptical and disbelieving.

Mars frowned and said, "Dude, what are you talking about? Does he know witchcraft? How can he make you improve so drastically in such a short time? This is impossible. His playing skills just now seemed like witchcraft, I couldn't believe it! And, did you forget that he said it was his first time to hear Pirate Rhapsody?"

Elton was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and said, "Yes, he said it was the first time he heard Pirate Rhapsody and he had never heard of this piece of music before. And then he played it for the first time and played it so perfectly? I had forgotten about it just now, God, this is incredible!"

Mars nodded and said, "Yes, this is impossible. Even God can't do it. So, I think he is lying. He must have practiced this piece for a very long time to master it so skillfully and to be able to show off his skills with such difficulty. It is absolutely impossible for him to play it for the first time..."

Elton frowned and looked at Wang Qian with a little disappointment in his eyes.

He just thought that Wang Qian was a truly great artist!

However, in the blink of an eye, it was discovered that Wang Qian seemed to be lying and putting on a show!

This is not what a great artist should do.

Seeing Elton's silence, Mars whispered, "I'll expose him."

Elton was startled and was about to speak.

However, Mars had already stood up, raised his hand, and said loudly to Wang Qian, who was walking towards the blackboard to write something on the podium: "Mr. Wang, I have a question!"

Everyone looked at Mars.

Wang Qian on the podium also stopped, looked at Mars, and said with a smile: "Okay, sir, you can tell me your doubts. Of course, I hope it is related to music."

In fact.

Many people at the scene looked at Wang Qian with puzzled eyes.

There are so many people here, and no one has forgotten what happened just now. They all have the same doubts as Mars.

However, everyone was still immersed in the mood of Wang Qian's performance. After they came to their senses, they were thinking and waiting for the opportunity to propose.

After all, this is a class, and Wang Qian is the main speaker. We can't deny Wang Qian the opportunity to give a lecture and keep asking questions and finding faults, right? That's too rude.

However, Mars, as Elton's good friend and an alumnus of Manhattan College, wanted to defend the honor of Elton and his school, so he stood up and asked the question regardless.

Most people could guess what Mars wanted to ask, and their expressions were slightly expectant.

Under the gaze of thousands of eyes, Mars said loudly: "Mr. Wang Qian, I remember you just said that this is your first time listening to Pirate Rhapsody, right?"

Thousands of eyes immediately looked at Wang Qian again, waiting for Wang Qian's answer.

Facing thousands of pairs of eyes, Wang Qian answered calmly and confidently: "Yes, I did!"

Mars smiled, thinking that he had exposed Wang Qian's lies. He immediately asked in a tough tone, "But why can you play it so perfectly after just listening to it once?"

Everyone continue to stare at Wang Qian!

The audiences were either pianists or classical music lovers who knew piano very well, so they all knew how long it would take to practice a difficult piece of music and how much in-depth understanding and perception it would take to perform it at a large-scale performance! Just listening to it once and not practicing it, and then playing it live? It’s okay to play it for show, no one will take it seriously! However, it’s impossible to play it seriously! Because it’s impossible to play it well, or even to play it completely, which will ruin the concert.

After all, can you remember such a long piece of music? How can you remember it if you have only heard the piece of music but have never seen the score? How can you play it if you cannot remember it?

Everyone instinctively thought that Wang Qian was just bragging and showing off.

Even Professor Dawson was skeptical.

He Chaohui, Yang Jiansen, Peng Donghu and others also had some doubts.

Taylor, Sophie, Jiang Yu and others were also confused! Because this was too difficult.

Only the sisters Qin Xuerong and Qin Xuehong believed in Wang Qian completely and firmly. No matter what the matter was, as long as Wang Qian said it, they believed it.

Every pair of eyes stared at Wang Qian with doubt, confusion and expectation.

There were also many people who looked at him with gloating eyes, thinking that Wang Qian was about to fail.

But!

It was beyond the expectations of many of them.

Wang Qian faced everyone and answered, "It's very simple. Just listen and remember it, then think about the theme, and then play it. I thought everyone could do it, but it seems that only I can?"

The answer was very simple! Many people wanted to laugh, thinking that Wang Qian was fooling them!

Also a little disappointed.

I feel that Wang Qian has such a high level of playing skills and strength, why would he do such a thing? Is he treating everyone as fools? Everyone can do it? It's a trick!

There was no one on the scene who could.

Malone couldn't help but whisper to Max, "He's too impatient. It's not a big deal for him to admit his mistakes for something that's unlikely to happen. His performance just now has already conquered everyone. If he admits that he was wrong now, everyone will forgive him and still look forward to what he will say next!"

Max also nodded: "Yes, I am looking forward to his class and the music he will explain. His performance just now was indeed very wonderful. It is the most wonderful and beautiful Pirate Rhapsody I have ever seen. He has a kind of magic that can make a piece of music sound even better."

Dawson, Kalman and others all frowned and didn't say anything, waiting to see what Wang Qian would do! Mars immediately said loudly: "You are lying, this is impossible. You can't do it, and no one can do it."

The atmosphere became intense.

Everyone seemed to be looking forward to a good show.

The audience watching the live broadcast also became excited.

Of course, Wang Qian's performance was wonderful, and so was Elton's performance, but most viewers in front of the TV are still not very interested in classical music, and still prefer to watch such conflicting scenes! This is wonderful.

The ratings immediately soared.

Wang Qian still had a smile on his face. He looked at Mars and said, "You can't do it, and no one else can do it, but that doesn't mean I can't do it either. Sir, I can tell you with certainty that I can do it. Although doing this just now made me very tired, I did it."

Mars said quickly: "I don't believe you haven't heard of Pirate Rhapsody. I will go on stage and play a piece of music now. If you can play it perfectly right away, I will believe what you said!"

Wang Qian slowly walked to the piano and asked with a smile: "Why should I prove this to you? I don't care whether you believe it or not. I know I am telling the truth, and that is enough."

There was a lot of discussion at the scene.

"He's scared!"

"Hahaha, he's scared!"

"He doesn't dare!"

"I knew he was lying all the time. It's a pity that such a liar has such excellent piano playing skills. God is really unfair."

Many people who were waiting for Wang Qian to make a fool of himself couldn't help but start talking about it, thinking that Wang Qian was just afraid.

Mars became bolder when he heard this: "Wang Qian, are you scared? I can make a bet with you, I bet you can't do it. If I lose, I will apologize to you immediately and leave here. If you lose, you must also apologize to everyone, and immediately stop this meaningless class and leave here. Do you dare?"

After hearing Mars' words, the scene became quiet again and everyone looked at the two of them.

This bet was obviously very big, almost risking one's life.

Elton reached out and pulled Mars, trying to stop him, but Mars didn't care. He had already done it, so he had to do it to the end. He ignored Elton's attempts to stop him and stared straight at Wang Qian.

The atmosphere became very stagnant.

Wang Qian's smile grew brighter. He looked at Mars, held out his hand and said, "Please! By the way, sir, what's your name?"

Mars walked out of his seat, walked up to the podium, and said, "My name is Mars. I graduated from the Manhattan School of Music. I am currently a piano teacher at the Manhattan School of Music. I think I am qualified to question you."

Wang Qian looked at Elton and roughly understood their relationship, as well as the reason why Mars was so persistent. He nodded and said, "Of course, anyone has the right to question me, but I don't want to answer these questions sometimes. However, since you are so determined, Mr. Mars, I will meet your request and give you this piano for the time being."

Mars walked up to the podium with steady steps and a confident aura, but when he stood on the podium and looked at Wang Qian, he unconsciously felt a head shorter than Wang Qian.

A warm and mellow aura of an artist immediately surrounded him, reducing the many negative emotions in his heart and making his mind purer.

Mars instantly understood what Elton said!

I also believed what Elton said.

He had felt this kind of temperament and aura from a teacher who had passed away when he was in school twenty years ago.

That was an old artist who was not well-known, but whose piano playing ability was not inferior to any world-class master. He did not seek fame or fortune, but only art. The pure temperament of a great artist was very contagious, which made him more devoted when studying and in a better state when playing the piano! After the teacher passed away, he never saw a similar temperament again.

Unexpectedly...

He now felt the pure temperament of a great artist in this young Chinese man.

In fact, it was more intense and more infectious than the teacher in his memory.

Mars felt a little bit unbelievable, and looked at Wang Qian in surprise. For a moment, he felt a little reluctant and said softly: "Mr. Wang Qian, I am not targeting you on purpose. I just don't want you to lie. I hope you can be a real music artist. If you can apologize to everyone now and admit your mistake, I will leave now and give up this bet."

Mars' words were transmitted to the entire audience through the microphone, and everyone could hear them clearly.

All those who expected Wang Qian to be embarrassed looked at Mars in surprise. They didn't know why Mars, who had already come on stage, suddenly backed off? Why did he let this Chinese man go? Only Elton, who had experienced it personally, knew what happened to Mars.

Wang Qian smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Mars. But I think you can continue! I won't bother with the bet or anything like that. How about we just talk about music now?"

Mars frowned slightly, stared at Wang Qian, and said with a determined heart, "Okay, let's talk about music. I have been concentrating on teaching in recent years, so I have the time and energy to study and create. I spent nearly five years composing a piano piece. I have never performed this piece publicly, and only I know it."

"I will play this piece of music now. If you can play it completely after listening to it once, then I admit defeat."

Wang Qian still kept smiling, looked at Mars and said, "Oh? Mr. Mars composed his own music? I am looking forward to it. I have composed a few songs myself, maybe I can give you some advice. Please start."

Mars took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and then sat down. He quickly entered the best state, which surprised him. At the same time, he understood Elton's words again. He looked at Wang Qian in surprise and saw that there was only expectation and encouragement in Wang Qian's eyes, as well as absolute confidence.

This made him feel unconfident and self-doubting, wondering if his doubts were right or not? Mars quickly put his mind at ease, and his hands immediately fell on the piano keys, playing this original song that only he knew!

Obviously.

As soon as the prelude sounded.

Everyone can hear that this is a lyrical piano piece with a soft rhythm.

Mars was also extremely devoted in his performance, and he also reached his peak state, performing this song that he had put so much effort into almost perfectly, surpassing all his previous private performances.

After all, he is the creator and can play out the emotions contained in the music more clearly and devotedly!

The scene returned to silence again.

Everyone looked at Mars with expectation and scrutiny.

This is Mars' original composition, being performed publicly for the first time.

Since everyone is listening to this song for the first time, they will naturally examine the quality of the song and look forward to whether Mars can bring surprises to everyone.

In the field of classical musical instruments, development has almost stagnated in the past two or three decades.

Everyone is looking forward to the release of good new works.
