Chapter 132 Waltz in C sharp minor

In the "Encounter with Chopin" concert, Zhuo Yang and Maurizio Pollini will equally share the performance time. This is an opportunity that the team behind Zhuo Yang strives for.

Neither Master Pollini nor Zhuo Yang will be involved in the specific affairs of the concert. They are only responsible for playing the piano well, and the distribution of all commercial and image interests behind it must be negotiated and handled by their team. From the calm Zhuo Qiu, to the red-faced Malzny, to the argumentative Mark West, Zhuo Yang's team finally made huge concessions in the distribution of business interests, but in exchange for A chance to stand on par with Master Pollini.

There are a total of 22 pieces of music in the whole concert, two pieces played by the two as a duo, and ten pieces each played solo. It will open with a two-piano concerto, performed by an orchestra from the Milan Conservatoire, performed by Zhuo Yang and Pollini. Next, the master played three consecutive songs, Zhuo Yang's two songs, the master's five songs, Zhuo Yang's five songs, the master's two songs, Zhuo Yang's three songs, and finally a double concerto to finish the work.

From this point of view, Zhuoyang and Pollini have almost no priority at the concert, which is exactly what his team wants to achieve. For Zhuo Yang, the most important thing at this stage is to seek fame. Business interests are not important. He is not short of money. He has to rush around to complete business contracts before he even takes a winter vacation. Zhuo Yang has a better way to get money than Master. Much wilder.

In terms of track arrangement, Mark Winston basically helped him make up his mind. Zhuoyang likes Chopin, but he has no particular preference for Chopin's music. They play all the same, and he doesn't have time to figure out who to play with Pollini one by one. But precisely because Mark was familiar with Zhuo Yang’s playing style and technical characteristics, and Mark was very attentive to this matter, the pieces he finally selected were all ones that he thought were suitable for Zhuo Yang to perform. Zhuo Yang tried to rehearse, hmm, it felt pretty good.

During this period, Zhuo Yang spent almost all his time practicing the piano, forgetting to sleep and eat. Even Christmas was spent at the keyboard.

This is a lonely Christmas. In this starry night and snowless day, Zhuo Yang is only accompanied by a red piano, and he opens his heart with the sound of the piano.

When Christmas Eve comes, the lively "Meet Chopin" organizing committee suddenly disperses. Everyone has to rush home to celebrate the New Year, except Zhuo Yang, who has nowhere to go. Originally, Mark West wanted to accompany him to stay in Milan, but he refused; his second brother Montolivo originally invited him to go to Atlanta, but he also refused; Robit Baggio asked him to come to Vicenza, Kenny Dunbar invited him to Foggia, but he also declined.

It was not entirely out of consideration for others and unwilling to interfere with the family reunion of friends, but Zhuo Yang encountered a small problem during the rehearsal of the previous performance, and he, who has always been serious about doing things, wanted to take the opportunity of uninterrupted Christmas to think about it. pondering.

The twelve pieces of music that Zhuo Yang needs to play have been practiced repeatedly and proficiently in the past few months. He has almost no problems and can be put on stage to demonstrate at any time. But everything else was fine. When he came to Milan to practice "Waltz in C sharp minor" again, Zhuo Yang suddenly found that he could not fully interpret all the connotations of the movement.

There is a feeling that you know there is something else, but you can't express it.

No matter how deeply he explored, he still felt that he was missing a little sense of touch. Zhuo Yang asked Maurizio Pollini for advice on this issue. After the master listened to him play it completely, he fully affirmed that Zhuo Yang Having completely stepped into Chopin's door, the emotions that the music should have been expressed. What's left is to rely on the accumulation of musical experience to deepen it, but that takes time, just like experience on the football field.

Zhuo Yang was not sure whether the master was right, because it seemed a bit specious to use Pollini's answer to explain his feeling, and he could not completely agree with it.

In the following days, Zhuo Yang spent a lot of time testing "Waltz in C sharp minor", trying to figure out what he lacked, but it completely backfired. The intangible hazy feeling became clearer and clearer, but he also clearly felt that he was getting closer and closer to fully expressing himself. Come farther and farther.

Zhuo Yang is a serious person. His father, Zhuo Tongtong, taught him since he was a child: You only need to do one thing well in your life!

Which thing?

——This is what we are doing!

Therefore, Zhuo Yang will be focused and focused no matter what he does. In order to understand why there was a feeling of insufficient expression in the performance of "Waltz in C-sharp Minor", and because he was overwhelmed but unable to do anything, he put aside everything in the world, leaving only himself and the piano.

The Armani Hotel is really a considerate place. Knowing that Zhuo Yang would stay in the hotel for Christmas and that he needed a piano to soothe the sound of the bells, he moved the Steinway triangle in the hotel lobby to a small conference room The room is on the same floor as Zhuoyang's suite and is for Zhuoyang's use.

All of this is a proactive and free service provided by the management of the Armani Hotel. You must know that moving a Steinway piano like this is a big project that requires professionals to do it and costs at least thousands of euros.

There was no one around to disturb him. Zhuo Yang specialized in "Waltz in C sharp minor". Unexpectedly, the more this happened, the more obvious the feeling of being out of touch became, and it even affected the smoothness of the movement. This is a bit nonsense. If the effect of the concert is delayed and a basket pops up, the people who come that day are all experts with golden ears, which is a bit of a spoiler.

Zhuoyang was so frightened that he quickly left the piano, relaxed, listened to music online, and showed off his eroticism on Facebook.

Zhuo Yang has two accounts on Facebook. One is naturally his celebrity official account, which allows him to authentically verify his name in front of thousands of fans. However, there were noisy messages on that account all day long, but almost none of them were sent by him himself. They were all managed by Zhuo Yang's management team in his name. The other is his private account, nicknamed "The Man Like the Wind", which is extremely vulgar. Only his friends know this account, and everyone often makes jokes on it.

It is already the afternoon of December 24th, and Christmas Eve is still a few hours away. Out of boredom, Zhuo Yang sent a message, full of irritation.

I have a jug of wine, please bring your story, who will accompany my lonely, empty and cold Christmas heart?

Everyone is busy at this time, so no one pays attention to him online, and the few replies to his chat are messy.

——Slut, I ask you to come but you won’t come!

——When you go out, turn left and you’ll find a nightclub!

——Brother, I will go to Milan to see you in two days.

Alas, these gangsters are dishonest! It's just that Medel feels sorry for me. I haven't seen the little cutie for a while. She may have grown a lot taller.

There weren't many messages, but two calls came in very quickly, with similar content, and they were from two women.

——Zhuoyang, let me go and spend Christmas with you! To find this site, please search "" or enter the URL:
