That night, Banner wrote something in his diary: "His beautiful playing style was extremely exciting, reaching the ears of people with keen hearing. I couldn't help but hold my breath. His slender fingers slid freely and freely on the keys.

, it can even be said to be flying. I was intoxicated by it, and the feeling is still inexplicable to this day. What I admire is the ethereal tranquility and unique vitality shown in his behavior and playing."

…

Jiang Chao stood up and paused on the stage for two or three seconds. Then he bowed gently to the audience, modestly yet gracefully.

"Dad——" Liu Shihan whispered: "It's this brother."

The middle-aged man looked at Jiang Chao with great interest. It must be said that in terms of behavior and appearance, he was impeccable. Especially the calmness displayed by Jiang Chao was different from the many hairy middle-aged men he had seen.

The boys are all different - at least so far, Jiang Chao has left a very good impression on him. But he is his daughter's favorite performer. The middle-aged man's eyes turned harsh involuntarily. He still wanted to see what kind of character this boy was.

It’s not really worth “chasing” with my daughter.

Banner looked at Jiang Chao silently, without much ups and downs in his heart.

On the other side, Wu Bufan glanced at Jiang Chao a few more times and thought that if Jiang Chao was willing to become an idol, with his looks he basically wouldn't need any strength.

Jiang Chao sat down.

What he prepared was an etude, a piece of music that is difficult to interpret by Chopin and is extremely difficult. Playing this piece of music must make you feel as if you are seeing a piece of peace in a dream, and have an ethereal feeling of being half asleep and half awake.

Marceline was a little surprised: "The melody and other important sounds represented by the large number of notes in this piece must be revealed from the soft whispering waves, and must be combined with the upper parts to form a real melody.

At the same time, it must be accompanied by wonderful and meaningful changes in strength and weakness... Can he evoke that feeling?"

Banner shook his head: "It's very innovative. But if you want to interpret this magical piece of music, you should abandon sentimentality and make no changes in strength and weakness - it should be played clearly, softly, and dreamlike, but nothing

If he is careful, he will be self-defeating and become emotionless. He really shouldn't choose this song during the competition."

Many people in the audience knew the difficulty of this piece. When most people lamented that Jiang Chao's piece was too difficult, they were also subconsciously looking forward to it, hoping that Jiang Chao would bring them some surprises.

Jiang Chao didn't care what the people below thought. He calmed down his mood slightly and no longer paid attention to where he was. He only knew that he was in front of a piano.

Start playing.

This etude is very beautiful, each bar rules its own little kingdom of harmony. This piece is so beautiful, and sometimes so exquisitely designed, that people can't help but think of the blurry and wonderful frost flowers on the glass. Jiang Chao's right hand part

From beginning to end, there are four consecutive groups of quarter note triplets in each measure. Perfect "pianissimo", no accent characteristics, without any trace of passion or elastic speed.

Banner couldn't help being surprised. "This precise control... Oh, my God, how could I hear such a beautiful performance here!"

Marceline couldn't help but take two hard breaths to calm herself down. Yes, that's what it felt like! Marceline closed her eyes and imagined being in a silent, dim, lush forest, in deep loneliness

Listen to the mysterious rustle of leaves.

"A real Chopin player is born, not a product of a school." Banner couldn't help but think of a sentence he had heard. Jiang Chao felt to Banner like a natural Chopin player, without any deliberate effort.

, that beautiful melody is natural. Sometimes, becoming a fan is just a matter of seconds. Banner opened his eyes and had an impulse. He wanted to get to know the Chopin player!

Jiang Chao has always felt that a superb classical music performer should not only be able to play for people who understand music. It is Jiang Chao's pursuit to convey emotions to people who do not understand music at all and infect them. In this

At one point, Jiang Chao did it. At least, Liu Shihan's father in the audience felt that emotion.

At first, the man didn't take it seriously, but as the beautiful notes continued to flow out, the man was gradually attracted. He looked down at his daughter and found that her eyes had been completely closed, with a smile on her lips. Looking at her daughter's happy expression,

The man couldn't help but feel warm in his heart and smiled.

Listen carefully.

The man doesn’t understand music theory, harmony, or rhythm. All he can understand is the melody. In Jiang Chao’s melody, the man thinks of his youth. At that time, he liked to lie in the fields and the sky was blue.

, white clouds are floating by. The smell of earth is very fragrant, and the wind carries the sound of wind chimes...

At that time, my grandmother would always boil the eggs laid by the old hens and keep them for herself. In that era of extremely poor material resources, eggs were as precious snacks as cakes. Thinking of this, the man laughed and opened his eyes, "Why are you listening to this?

Music, has it become pretentious?"

At the end, the music deepens, and the shadows become colder and darker, but there is still no hint of sadness. When Jiang Chao played this, he was thinking about the time when consciousness falls into silence during rebirth. Darkness is not necessarily sad, Jiang Chao is light.

I opened my eyes slightly, slightly changed the original song at the end, and suddenly a glimmer of light emerged.

The judges were all surprised.

It's obvious that Jiang Chao's last few notes were deliberate, and the whole song suddenly became different. If Jiang Chao ended it in an orderly manner, then the whole song would be like a person walking in the forest at night, ethereal and

It was a long journey. But Jiang Chao’s adjustments allowed this journey to reveal a glimmer of light at the end, dotting the night sky.

The judges also had differences regarding this slight adjustment. Some thought it was amazing, while others thought it should not be done on their own. But everyone agreed that Jiang Chao's interpretation of this piece of music was top-notch. The last little adjustment,

It does not affect the result. Those who like it very much will be given more points, and those who don't like it will be given slightly less points. They will offset each other and will not affect the outcome.

After Jiang Chao came down, Marceline hesitated for a moment and smiled at Jiang Chao: "I like China very much."

Jiang Chao was slightly startled: "Huh?"

"When I was a child, I went to China once with my mother - she went there as an exchange singer. I saw an interesting musical instrument in China at that time. Well, it looked like a horn and had a very loud sound.

Wonderful, with a unique feeling of sadness..."

Jiang Chao thought for a while, "Are you talking about Suona?"

"Suona? Was it its Chinese name back then? It's really interesting."

Jiang Chao smiled slightly, after all, it was a mudslide in the musical instrument world.

"This winter, I want to visit Lang Lang in China."

Jiang Chao remembered that Marceline's teacher seemed to be Lang Lang's mentor as well.

Then, Marceline looked at Jiang Chao expectantly: "Can you be my guide?"

Jiang Chao was stunned.
