Liao Yuan's rating was the highest in the audience, which made Wu Zhongsheng in the audience excited. He secretly made up his mind to thank Mr. Liao properly after the game.
The game is still in progress.
"Mr. Liao has a preference for Asian players, and none of his scores are lower than eight."
After the rounds of performances, everyone soon discovered that the score given by Liao Yuan always seemed to be the highest among all the judges. This could not help but cause criticism at the scene, with many people whispering to each other.
"My professional ability is not very strong..."
"Maybe his standards are very low and he doesn't live up to his reputation!"
"Did you see it? In fact, except for Mr. Liao, the average age of the entire judging panel is no less than forty years old. Mr. Liao lowered the average age..."
"This may be a good thing for the players."
Soon, the day flew by.
After nearly five hours of evaluation, the overall ranking results of the first round of preliminary rounds were released. Among them, Japanese player Tokugawa Haruaki ranked second, Chinese player Wu Di ranked 13th, and Chinese player Nicole ranked ninth.
Looking at the entire ranking, there are six Asian players in the top ten. Compared with previous years, this ratio is quite normal.
In the first preliminary round, there were twenty-three players, and the seven players at the bottom were automatically eliminated.
If a player cannot even beat others in his or her best repertoire, such a player is not worthy of entering the next round.
Compared with the piano group, the competition in the violin group seems to be more intense.
Similar to the competition rules of the piano group, the first round of the violin group's competition is also free play without a theme, and the players can play the repertoire they are best at.
Pei Hongyu walked onto the stage step by step holding a violin and wearing a red evening dress.
She likes Hanfu and is an active promoter of Hanfu, but in Moscow, she could only wear this elegant red evening dress.
Pei Hongyu has a very thin figure, which makes her look petite. At least in the eyes of the judges, Pei Hongyu seems a little frail.
"let's start!"
One of the judges said, his voice sounding a little casual.
They have seen Pei Hongyu's resume. In the past, most of the competition awards came from China, and most of them were won in Japan and South Korea. Pei Hongyu has never appeared in world-class competitions such as Tchaikovsky.
This is not surprising. Whether it is the Tchaikovsky Competition or the Chopin International Piano Competition, most of these world-class competitions are held only once every four or five years, which means that young contestants may not even have the opportunity to register.
At this moment, with everyone watching, Pei Hongyu put the piano case on his shoulder, picked up the bow, and slowly, those beautiful notes flowed out from the strings. The sound was gentle and low, like an old man.
Standing at the intersection of my hometown, looking at the long-lost children in the distance, the whole music sounds from far to near, elegant and soft, vaguely revealing a sense of desolation.
All the judges raised their heads in surprise and looked at Pei Hongyu, who was playing silently.
The sound of the piano is like a wanderer who has left his hometown crying softly.
At that moment, Pei Hongyu seemed to be immersed in the quiet night, emitting a bright and moving light.
"What song is this?"
The audience at the scene stared blankly at Pei Hongyu, who was concentrating on his performance.
Suddenly, a middle-aged female judge with blond hair raised her head, and people could vaguely see that her eyes were full of tears, and a tear quickly slipped from the corner of her eye.
"Feel sorry."
The female judge whispered something, picked up a tissue and wiped the corners of her eyes, and then looked at Pei Hongyu who was performing emotionally.
The other judges were deeply concerned. They all lowered their heads and looked through Pei Hongyu's information again.
Everything is very ordinary, but in the entry area, the song chosen by Pei Hongyu in the preliminary competition was changed from a violin sonata in G minor by Bach to a song, uh, "Schintler's List"?
Everyone present did not know what the meaning of "Schintler's List" was, but they knew that it must be a great piece of work, and the emotional sculpture was extremely full and moving.
Pei Hongyu was immersed in her performance, her arms were shaking slightly, and her expression was sad.
The sound of the piano is like complaining, crying, and complaining. The melancholy melody seems to be telling someone's tragic fate. But after listening carefully, there is some bright color and hope in the smooth melody. It is not completely sad, just like in the opening scene.
A little candlelight in the darkness is the last hope in the hearts of those who are in deep disaster.
Here, Pei Hongyu's piano sound is not static. It is sometimes bright and sometimes low, but it is full of passion and moves people endlessly.
"How come I've never heard anything like this?"
"I don't know which master created it. It reminds me of that period of history, those fathers who struggled hard for life..."
"It's heartbreakingly touching..."
"Although it is not as rigorous as classical music, it is free and unrestrained. Those who can create such music in modern times will not be forgotten by anyone in a hundred years."
"who is she?"
"God, this shouldn't be a song she can compose at her age..."
"The title of the song is also quite weird, "Schindler's List"? What does it mean? Oh, maybe there is a deep meaning behind it!"
Pei Hongyu's playing was very brief, only lasting about four minutes, but during these four minutes, everyone was immersed in the emotions of the violin playing, which was full of huge and painful sadness, which was heartbreaking to listen to.
I cried when I heard it.
After a long time, the melodious sound of the piano finally came to an end.
There was silence.
The judges coughed and asked one after another:
"Can I ask who composed this piece?"
"My teacher, his name is Liao Yuan."
"The name of this piece is Schindler's List? Sorry, I may not have heard of your father's work. Can you tell me what the specific meaning of this name is?"
Pei Hongyu recalled Liao Yuan's explanation to him in the morning and answered truthfully: "Schindler was a German entrepreneur. During World War II, he spent all his money to protect more than 1,200 Jews from being killed by the Nazis. This is
A real event with a historical prototype, it is also the only glimmer of humanity left in that gloomy and cruel Jewish history."
Schindler?***?Jew?
People frowned, it was a tragic memory.
Even though nearly a hundred years have passed, no one wants to remember it.
"So, this is a piece written for German businessmen during World War II?" one of the judges asked.
Pei Hongyu stared at the judge and said calmly: "My teacher told me that a person's greatness does not lie in his standing out from the crowd when he goes with the flow, but in his perseverance when he goes against the flow. Schindler was a great businessman.
If you understand that historical story, you will understand the weight that this name carries."
These words shocked the whole audience.
The more than two hundred spectators at the scene, including the judges who were flipping pages to look up information, stopped moving at this moment.
People raised their heads and looked at the bright red standing on the stage.
"10 points!"
"10 points!"
"I'll give you 10 points. I promise that after the game, I will check Schindler's information."
"10 points!"
"Your performance is very good. Regarding the sculpture of emotion, you shocked everyone. 10 points!"
"The greatness of a person does not lie in his standing out from the crowd when he is drifting with the flow, but in his perseverance when he goes upstream. This sentence shocked me very, very much. I really want to get to know your teacher, so I give
10 points."--
