A sightseeing car was driving quickly on the road along the Danube River. The driver was August Wilde, director of the Vienna Music Association. He was responsible for inviting Liao Yuan to participate in a special Asian concert held at the Golden Hall.
At this time, when I heard that Liao Yuan was visiting Viana again, I rushed over immediately.
The person next to him who was constantly urging Wilde to speed up was a man wearing a gentleman's hat and a British-style vest. He was about fifty or sixty years old and had a black and white goatee.
His name is Peter Leighton, and he belongs to an organization called the International Piano Competition Federation.
With the mushrooming of international music competitions in the 20th century, a non-profit international organization called the "World Federation of International Music Competitions", also known as the Geneva Competition Alliance, began to emerge.
In the middle of the last century, the Alliance was established in Geneva, Sweden, and is affiliated with UNESCO. It enjoys the reputation of the "Olympic Committee" in the music industry internationally.
The alliance has 127 competitions under its name, such as the "Liszt International Piano Competition", "Verdi International Vocal Competition", "Queen Elizabeth International Music Competition", "Queen Sonja International Vocal Competition", etc., including piano, violin,
Vocal music and many other categories.
Of course, the top piano competition among them is naturally the "Chopin International Piano Competition".
The "Chopin International Piano Competition" is one of the three major classical music competitions in the world. It is held every five years. Lin Weiyin, a well-known Chinese pianist, once won the first place in the "Chopin International Piano Competition" and became famous all over the world.
The other two music competitions are the "Queen Elizabeth Music Competition" and the "Tchaikovsky Competition".
"August, do you think Liao will agree to participate in the Tchaikovsky Competition?"
On the fast-moving sightseeing car, Peter Layton pressed the gentleman's hat on his head and asked excitedly: "Since the One Emperor and Four Emperors Competition and the Asian Concert, his reputation has been well-known in the world music scene. Let him participate in it."
Competition, isn’t it a bit too much?”
"It's not too much. A talented pianist should challenge all piano competitions and win all awards."
Wilde laughed and said: "If the Chopin International Competition were not held every five years, I would really want those pianists who claim to be geniuses to see what real and absolute crushing is."
"What you say makes sense. If Liao wants to become a top grand pianist, he should take practical actions to prove himself! Haha, if Liao Yuan can be invited to participate in the Tchaikovsky Competition, it will definitely attract the attention of musicians all over the world.
."
The two of them became more and more excited as they talked, and soon they arrived at the golden hall.
Wilde quickly got out of the carriage, took out his pass, and hurried toward the hall with Peter, but the sound of footsteps suddenly sublimated subconsciously.
The two of them looked away and saw Liao Yuan sitting in front of the piano on the stage, playing four hands together.
There were hundreds of people in the entire concert hall, but at this moment it was so silent that you could hear a pin drop.
The tinkling sound of the piano, the melody of one part, is chasing the other part from beginning to end, until the last knot, the last chord.
At that moment, they seemed to be fused together and never separate.
This extremely lingering music is like two people following each other through life and death...
The richness of emotions makes the listener moved and makes the listener shed tears.
At this time, Wilde and Peter stopped in the middle corridor of the seats.
The two looked at each other with a look of horror on their faces.
"Canon" style four-hand bomb?
This kind of interpretation method that focuses on counterpoint, arrangement, and natural and mathematical formulas is undoubtedly "Canon".
But in the entire history of the world's music scene, there are certainly people who can perform piano duets.
But on a piano, one person plays "Canon" with four hands, but it seems that he has never heard of it.
Nor should it exist...
"I think it was a beautiful mistake for you to invite Liao to participate in the Tchaikovsky Competition." Wilde suddenly said seriously.
Peter swallowed, his goatee trembling slightly: "I think you are right, he is not a contestant, he should be a judge. No one dares to comment on such a skill."
"He is much more mature than he was half a year ago. His emotional sculpture is unparalleled."
Wilde sighed: "When I first listened to "Immortal Movement", I was visually shocked. After all, it was an absolute hand speed, and the fullness of emotion was slightly inferior. However, this "Canon"-style four-hand play is a sculpture of emotion.
, definitely a master class.”
Peter took a deep breath: "Yes, he is more mature than in the image. He has grown up too fast. There may not be a master like this in a hundred years. In the entire international piano world, Liao's talent is ranked among the top three.
"
At this time, Liao Yuan had also finished playing.
Director Bruschi wiped a handful of loose hair, stood up, and said with a smile: "Liao, you are the most powerful pianist I have ever seen, bar none."
"well enough."
Liao Yuan moved his fingers and said with unfinished meaning: "Has it passed?"
"It's over, it's over!"
Bruschi said quickly: "It's just a music video, just take a scene. If Huaxing is not striving for perfection, it must be shot on site. It won't bother you to come. After all, our company can directly cut out the pictures and do post-production...
Liao Yuan smiled and said: "Mr. Bruschi, it's better to be more serious, please."
Bruschi nodded and said, "That's natural. This song will be sung by the American singing queen Demi Wheeler. She is one of the most popular singers in the West."
At this time, the filming was over. In the audience, dozens of people approached the stage one after another. One of them, a blond girl, shouted to Liao Yuan from the audience: "Hey, Mr. Liao, can you sign your name? My grandma is you."
A loyal fan of yours, she is sick. If she knew you were coming to Austria, she would definitely come to watch your show."
Bruschi raised his brows and was about to scold when he saw Liao Yuan suddenly bend down, take the notebook and pen from the blond girl in the audience, then half-knelt on the floor, and asked the girl gently: "What's your name?"
"My name is Winnie Betty, you can call me Winnie!" The blonde girl was surprised.
After hearing this, Liao Yuan wrote a paragraph on the title page of his notebook, "I wish Winnie's grandma a speedy recovery, stay away from diseases, and be healthy forever."
The signature is "liao" and my Chinese name.
The blond girl looked at Liao Yuan who was kneeling on the floor to sign, and her heart was throbbing.
After Liao Yuan finished signing, she took the notebook and looked at the blessing. She suddenly covered her mouth and was so moved that she burst into tears. She bowed to Liao Yuan and said, "Thank you!"
The audience burst into thunderous applause that lasted for a long time.
From a distance, Wilde looked at this scene: "He is a real pianist."
"Yes, a real pianist." Peter said slowly——
