Chapter four hundred and eighty third wonderful street performance
The gentle and melodious sound of the violin is like a warm winter sun, gently but continuously entangling the hearts of the audience.
The guy playing the violin was a middle-aged man with long golden shawls, a dark gray trench coat, and the dark blue tie on the collar of the shirt inside was meticulously beaten, and the sparse stubble made him look a bit unruly.
Like the street artists I just met, this was also a street performer. In front of him, a somewhat worn-out hard violin case was opened and placed on the ground, with some fragments of money in it. In front of him, a little girl in a cute yellow short windbreaker stood. She looked about ten years old, with white skin like cream, and a pair of big blue eyes made her look very cute. When a few people walked past here, Liu Yufan just saw her bent down and got up again, and at the same time, a coin gently put it into the piano box.
Seeing this beautiful little loli put the money into her piano case, the violinist did not stop playing, but just looked at the corner of his mouth with a smile.
What attracted Liu Yufan and the other three to stop was his piano sound. The reason why he had not stopped after so many street performances but was just here, in addition to the fact that this man's piano skills were indeed superb, the song played by the artist was also one of the reasons why he attracted several people to stop.
The sound of the piano is lingering and beautiful, and the melody is beautiful, but it is particularly familiar to several people. The song played by this foreign violinist is actually the Chinese "Book of Liang".
Liu Yufan didn't expect that a foreigner could make this Chinese song so nice, which surprised him and admired him a little.
He pulled out a few 100 yuan bills from his pocket, and Liu Yufan bent down and placed them gently in front of him.
This generous move caused the violinist to nod and smile at Liu Yufan. The music in his hand did not stop for a moment, and it still flowed lightly.
"It's really good." Liu Yufan smiled and turned around and said to Lang Lang and Wang Yujia.
"Yes, the street artists here are all very good at learning. As long as he plays this song "Liang Zhu", I dare say there is no problem in recording records directly in the recording studio." Lang Lang said with a smile.
Wang Yujia looked at the few bills put in the piano box by Liu Yufan and smiled, "You are generous enough, the money is enough to buy a concert ticket." Although she said this, she also pulled out a bill and put it in the piano box.
Lang Lang is no exception. Although his financial situation is the most embarrassing among the three people, out of respect for art, Lang Lang still put a note in it.
Liu Yufan looked at Lang Lang's actions, but there was a trace of strangeness in his eyes. As a reborn person, Liu Yufan understood the current living conditions of this future piano star. Because of some unpleasant things that happened with his teacher at the Central Conservatory of Music, Lang Lang could be said to be a little "running away in anger". The cost of going to Curtis Conservatory of Music almost exhausted all the money at home. At least Liu Yufan knew that his parents should have sold all the houses in his hometown in Northeast China. He should be short of money now.
But even so, Lang Lang still expressed his respect for the artist in this way. This made Liu Yufan's understanding of him a little deeper. Before, he only thought that Lang Lang was a good piano skill, and a little luck made him famous in later generations. But now it seems that his respect and love for music from the bottom of his heart is the most fundamental reason for his success.
Everyone likes to gather together, and foreigners are no exception. Including the little girl just now, there are already four audiences in front of the violinist. Then, more and more people began to stop and appreciate this beautiful song.
This is a small band. In addition to this violinist, there is also a keyboard player. In front of him is a Roland PF-7 electric piano, but he is not playing at this moment, just standing quietly aside. Seeing the keyboard, Liu Yufan's hand couldn't help but itch slightly. This feeling of street improvisation was very fresh to him, making him feel like he wanted to try it.
Lang Lang noticed Liu Yufan's eyes looking at Roland Electric Steel from time to time, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Why, I want to try it?"
"Haha, I don't know if it's right, I think it's quite fun." Liu Yufan looked at Lang Lang and whispered.
"It's okay, it's suitable. This kind of small band combination is very casual. Every pedestrian on the street can go up and play. Let foreigners see the "Battle of Liang" played by us Chinese." Lang Lang encouraged.
"That's right, Yufan, go up and play for a while, let's cheer you up." Wang Yujia also added fuel to the fire. Anyway, she was not in a hurry to get the contestant certificate. The competition officially started the day after tomorrow, and she just happened to experience the charm of this "City of Art".
"Sure, then you can tell me, my English is not good." Liu Yufan said to Lang Lang with some embarrassment.
"Haha, no problem, but you have to practice English. As a professional pianist, you will inevitably run around the world in the future. You can't do if you don't know how to speak foreign languages." Lang Lang said, and stepped forward and communicated with the musician for a few simple words. The keyboardist immediately smiled and nodded, then stood sideways, gave the keyboard, and made a "please" move to Liu Yufan.
The violinist just now also nodded at Liu Yufan with a friendly smile, showing a hint of encouragement.
The kindness of these two musicians made Liu Yufan's hesitation and nervousness finally disappear. After nodding at the keyboard player, Liu Yufan came to Roland's PF-7.
Roland PF-7 is the world's top electric steel. The escapement design maintains the feel of real steel to the greatest extent, allowing the performers to experience the performance that is very close to real steel. In addition, the "super real piano tone engine" and the multi-layer sampling of the top piano recording studio all give this electric piano a good tone performance. Although it is still incomparable to the real top performing piano, it is good enough if performed on stage.
I heard that the violin player had just finished playing a paragraph, which was the first theme of "Brief Zhu". Before the four classic phrases were over, Liu Yufan's hands had already put on the key surface of Roland Electric Steel.
The fingers gently fell on the keys, and a gentle piano sound as water flowed out, making the violin sound more beautiful.
There are two versions of the piano version of "Ball Lovers". The simplest one is the version played by Richard Clayderman, known as the "Piano Prince", and the more professional version is adapted by two famous domestic pianist, composers Chen Gang and He Zhanhao. The latter is far superior to the former in terms of sound fullness and the integrity of the music. However, the most well-known version of Richard Clayderman is still the version of Richard Clayderman. The name of "Piano Prince" is not a waste of time.
However, Liu Yufan is not playing any of the two versions at this moment, he is completely improvising.
Relying on his super listening, Liu Yufan quickly determined that the other party's tune was G. Accompanied by the flowing water of the left hand, his right hand gently undulated the keys, bringing up a string of bright double notes or chords, perfectly expressing the artistic conception of the song "Liang Zhu". What's even more rare is that the addition of the piano did not affect the performance of the violin at all, but was perfectly integrated with the sound of the violin as if he had been rehearsed countless times. With the addition of the piano tone, this song "Liang Zhu" suddenly became much more plump.
You should know that the most well-known version of the song "Brother Zhu" is the violin version, and the complete violin version "Brother Zhu" is twenty-nine minutes long and requires a complete large symphony orchestra. At this moment, the version of "Brother Zhu" played by Liu Yufan actually simulates the effect of the entire symphony orchestra, making the sound of the violin more beautiful and fuller!
Although Liu Yufan could not simulate the entire tone of the symphony orchestra on a keyboard due to the limitations of the piano itself, there was no shortage of the main parts. Seeing his calm and leisurely playing, Lang Lang and Wang Yujia's faces were a little moved.
Unlike those who watched the fun, these two were both super professional audiences. The two of them knew how valuable Liu Yufan’s improvisation was. They saw Liu Yufan’s hands swaying in front of the piano, especially his left hand, which almost spanned the middle and bass areas of the piano, and from time to time, making large spans of throwing. While keeping the arpeggio continuous, they added a bass tone. Although it didn’t sound obvious, both of them knew how difficult it was to play this bass effect under such improvisation!
"This Liu Yufan has not seen him for a few months, and his level seems to have improved a lot." Listening to the strange feeling revealed in Liu Yufan's casual piano sound, Lang Lang's eyes at him became even more serious.
Perici was originally a violinist, working for the Utrecht Symphony Orchestra and also the violin chief of the orchestra. His biggest hobby was to perform such open-air performances with friends. In the past few days, he had no performance tasks. As usual, he came to the music square to perform a small performance near the music square, showing a Chinese song he learned when he was working with a violinist from China's treasure island. Unexpectedly, it was not long before that, and he attracted a generous Chinese to play with him. What shocked him was that the pianist from China actually played the charm of the entire symphony orchestra with an electronic piano!
"Who is this young man?" Perridge looked at the young man from the East in front of him with some curiosity.
