When she came to the Hangzhou Grand Theatre five years ago, the title added to Wang Yujia's front was "Genius Girl", and after five years, this prefix became "China's most popular pianist".

Last night, Wang Yujia, together with "Conductor Tsar" Gergiev and the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra, held a concert at the Hangzhou Grand Theatre, "Rams: Piano Concerto No. 2" and "Mahler: First Symphony", two highly technically difficult pieces, allowing Hangzhou audiences to see the most famous "shadowless hand" on the Internet.

In the face of reporters, Wang Yujia also revealed for the first time that many fans have been curious about the mysterious "murmuring" when they play excitedly, "In fact, I am singing the score, so it is not easy to be nervous."

Looking at Baidu Encyclopedia, Wang Yujia's entry is simple to somewhat dull: the world's young pianist, an international pianist, graduated from curtis Conservatory of Music.

And in front of her, neat short hair, camisole vest, fishnet socks, crop navel... Dressed in all black, if not playing the piano, Wang Yujia may be considered a pioneer hipster in Manhattan, New York.

Just sat down, the fingers of this Beijing big girl were knocking back and forth on her thighs, silently practicing piano fingering, and the muscle lines of the wheat-colored arms revealed a rare "sense of health" on the classical music stage.

When it was time to talk, she would grab Gergiev's arm next to her and shake her body. A gray-haired Gergiev looked at her lovingly sideways, like his own daughter.

So far, many piano textbooks have videos of demonstration playing, using Wang Yujialu's version. It is no wonder that over the years, Wang Yujia has surpassed Lang Lang and Li Yundi to become an excellent model in the hearts of more and more parents of piano children - entering the Central Conservatory of Music at the age of 9, and crossing the ocean to study at the curtiss School of Music (similar to the Hogwarts of the classical music world) at the age of 14.

In 2013, she came to the Grand Theater to play Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1, and many people were shocked after watching it: "This hand speed is really too fierce."

After the special session in 2015, and then in 2016 and 2017, Wang Yujia did not come to Hangzhou... There is news in the international music scene that Wang Yujia practiced hard in retreat and conquered Beethoven's sonata "Hammerklavier". This is the most difficult piece of solo piano work.

Some foreign media have commented that even if the music white who does not understand music theory at all can easily be infected by Wang Yujia's piano sound. Amazing hand speed, rich body language, and even when excited, it is often filmed by the camera talking to itself.

Talking about this issue yesterday, Wang Yujia became shy and rarely, "Is it? yes? I don't seem to pay attention to it myself", looking down and thinking about it, she said, "It should be playing and singing this song", she said, this is also a way to relieve tension, "singing and singing, it is more relaxed."

Can wear, dare to wear, but also become Wang Yujia's symbol in today's classical music scene, purely because "I like". In the solemn and solemn British Royal Festival Concert Hall, wearing a bright yellow see-through suit and wearing 10 cm high heels to perform, it is even more commonplace, if the media diss, next time, she will change to a higher heel.

Wang Yujia said that how to wear each performance is all decided by herself, and she will change into different clothes according to the different repertoire. For example, this time the performance was "Rams: Piano Concerto No. 2", which was a late work of the master, mixed with more entanglements and melancholy, so Wang Yujia chose a black outfit. When she recorded "Mrams: Piano Concerto No. 1", she chose bright colors to wear, "because that piece is as vibrant as the sea".
