The person who came was about thirty years old, wearing a suit and leather shoes. Although his appearance was ordinary, he gave off an elegant and elegant look that had read poetry and books. He was none other than Shunichi Minamino.
There were two assistants behind him.
Liao Yuan was a little surprised, but still invited the other party to take a seat.
"Shizuoka is my hometown, but Hamamatsu is the place where musicians like durian the most, so I often live in Hamamatsu."
Minami Junichi drank a glass of sake, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "I heard from others that you came to Hamamatsu, so I rushed over immediately. Liao Sang, we said goodbye to each other at the state banquet in Kyoto in the past. It has been half a year since I last saw you. Have you ever been there?
You promised me that you would contact me as soon as you come to Japan, but you broke your promise!"
"Feel sorry."
Liao Yuan pointed to the cameraman behind him and said helplessly: "I came to Hamamatsu this time to shoot a program. I will probably return to China tomorrow, and my schedule is in a hurry..."
"Okay, okay, I understand."
Minami Junichi laughed and waved his hands quickly: "I was just joking. Of course, I hope Liao Sang can inform me in advance next time he comes to Japan, so that I can be a good friend of the landlord."
Liao Yuan then introduced Lin Weiyin and others to Minamino Junichi, and briefly explained the program rules for this filming.
The latter looked at Lin Weiyin and said with some disappointment: "Lin Sang, I didn't expect that you and Liao Sang are boyfriend and girlfriend. Congratulations."
Lin Weiyin's face turned hot, but she still said calmly: "Thank you."
Liao Yuan sensed something was wrong and looked at the lost Minamino Junichi with a thoughtful look on his face.
Lin Weiyin saw this and quickly explained: "Mr. Junichi is one of the judges of this Hamamatsu Piano Competition. We have met before."
"Yes, Lin Sang is the favorite to win this Hamamatsu Piano Competition. Her talent on the piano is amazing, especially Chopin's works, which are deeply loved by our judges. In addition to Chopin, Beethoven,
She is also proficient in the works of Bach, Rachmaninoff and other pianists. It can be said that if nothing else happens, Lin Sang will be the first place in this Hamamatsu Piano Competition."
Minamino Junichi said seriously: "But tomorrow's final will be a performance of the designated pianist's works. In addition to the three designated works, a new piece written by a Japanese composer specially for the 10th Hamamatsu International Piano Competition will also be played...
…”
"After playing four pieces in a row, the player with the highest total points will be ranked first. I hope Lin Sang can get his wish."
After Minamino met Liao Yuan, he knew that Liao Yuan was filming a show, so he didn't stay too much. After chatting for a few minutes, he learned that Liao Yuan would go to the event tomorrow, so he happily left the barbecue restaurant.
Soon, Liao Yuan and Lin Weiyin ate a little and tasted the so-called Kobe beef, then strolled around the night view of Hamamatsu City together.
The next day, Liao Yuan went to the Hamamatsu International Music Hall, the venue for the Hamamatsu International Piano Competition.
The venue can accommodate about 500 people. The shape and size of the auditorium, the decorative materials used, the air-conditioning equipment, etc. have all been designed through architectural acoustics to ensure optimal acoustic effects and meet international high-level performance requirements.
When Liao Yuan came to the concert hall, the mayor of Hamamatsu City was speaking on the stage, and many media were filming quietly under the stage.
After a while of jabbering Japanese, the game officially started.
Since the concert hall does not allow filming in the auditorium, the crew of "Love Travel" can only take secret photos in the background, but the camera will constantly switch between Liao Yuan in the audience and Lin Weiyin in the contestants' seat.
Although the two are far apart, they seem to be very close when captured by the camera.
This Hamamatsu Piano Competition has no nationality restrictions and a total of six contestants entered the event.
Except for one European and American player, the others all have Asian faces, but their nationalities are different, such as Thai, Korean, and Chinese. Of course, there are also two local Japanese players.
The competition is divided into four rounds.
In the first round, the six contestants had to play "The Well-Tempered Clavier" by the famous composer Bach.
The composition collection contains a total of 48 preludes and fugues, which are the greatest works of Bach's keyboard music.
This set of works is the pinnacle of Bach's music creation. The great pianist Bulow once compared it to the "Old Testament" in music. At the same time, equal temperament is also the basic temperament of European music.
Contestants can choose any piece from the "Well-Tempered Piano Collection" to perform.
The first one to appear was Lin Weiyin. She chose the first piece in C major from the first volume of the piano collection as the opening piece, and soon played it under the attention of the whole audience.
The continuous piano sound is like a ray of breeze blowing on people's faces,
Bach's equal temperament is the basic temperament of European music. This basic temperament is the basis for the creations of Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt and others. Therefore, players can play different tunes according to the player's emotions in this equal temperament.
artistic conception.
It can be played into ordinary sound patterns, hidden melodies, or even a certain internal part can be highlighted during the performance.
You can play it faster, like big and small beads falling on a jade plate.
You can also play slower, like the bright moonlight spreading in front of the bed.
Of course, it can also be played into a cantabile Andante...
The law of averages seems simple, but it is the basis of all European and American temperament systems, so it has very rich meanings.
The six parts all move relatively independently, and the harmony is also very beautiful. In "The Well-Tempered Piano Collection", such as chord overtones, seventh chords, and modulation applications are very mature, whether playing fast or talking slowly, or
Or playing it rhythmically, it sounds very nice.
The key lies in the player's personal creation.
Lin Weiyin's playing was neither fast nor slow, just like a generation of piano masters, and there seemed to be no exciting rhythm at all.
It's like the most ordinary and ordinary equal temperament performance.
However, it is this calm performance, as if returning to nature, that seems to make people indifferent, but to the ears of a real pianist, it is as shocking as a bolt from the blue.
There was a slight commotion in the entire judging panel.
Among them, Minamino Shunichi's excitement was even more obvious.
Lin Weiyin's performance surpassed that of everyone present, even on the judges' bench, and no one could compete with her.
You know, the first place in the Chopin International Piano Competition was vacant for two consecutive years before a champion like Lin Weiyin emerged who could win the gold medal.
The Chopin International Piano Competition is one of the three major world classical music competitions, representing the highest level in the world.
In the entire China, Lin Weiyin is the only one who can get the first place in the past. Most of the others only get silver or bronze awards.
Therefore, when Lin Weiyin came to participate in the Hamamatsu International Competition, it was like a wolf among sheep, putting great pressure on all the players.
However, the Hamamatsu Piano Competition does not only test Chopin's works. Moreover, due to Lin Weiyin's reasons, this year's Hamamatsu Piano Competition completely excludes Chopin's works.
Just because no one can beat Lin Weiyin in the Chopin collection.
But even after leaving the Chopin collection, Lin Weiyin's performance is still at the peak of a master's level.
In that state, silence is better than sound at this time, and every note falls just right. It will not make people excited, but it will not make people feel disgusted.
The so-called great simplicity is exactly like this.
This was not the first time for Liao Yuan to hear Lin Weiyin play, but it was the first time to witness Lin Weiyin playing at an event.
She was so serious, her thick eyelashes drooped slightly, as if she was just admiring her hands.
For the eighty-eight piano keys, she could play the desired notes with the back of her hand, completely turning a blind eye.
Liao Yuan nodded slowly.
"How does it compare to you?"
Next to him, director Qu Liangwei held a recording microphone in his hand and asked with a smile.
"There's no comparison." Liao Yuan made a pun.
Qu Liangwei didn't ask any more questions. These three words seemed to have no subject and object, so the audience could not clearly understand the true meaning of Liao Yuan. However, from an objective point of view, Liao Yuan seemed to think that he could not compare with Lin Weiyin.
One has won almost all piano awards at home and abroad, and the other has only won one award, and it was for pop music, so there is really no comparison between the two.
However, the confidence in Liao Yuan's words made Qu Liangwei elusive——
