The second day of the Tchaikovsky Competition officially began with much attention.
Media and social networking sites around the world broadcast it in real time. As "Schindler's List" caused a huge response on social networks such as Twitter, this directly caused the violin group's audience to be almost overcrowded. However, the rules of the second day's competition were different from yesterday, and the contestants needed to
Perform according to the repertoire listed by the organizing committee.
But even so, Pei Hongyu's performance was still one of the best in the entire group. Mozart's "Symphony No. 40 in G minor" was played in violin style, which aroused thunderous applause from the audience.
But compared with yesterday's performance, it was not as amazing as people expected, so the final average score was only 8.5 points, but they still advanced successfully.
On the other side, the piano group competition also officially started.
Among the ten classical piano pieces listed by the judging panel, Wu Di selected "The Blue Danube" by Johann Strauss, the father of the waltz, and won praise from the judges for its excellent rhythm.
Liao Yuan once again gave a high score of 8.8.
But the media reporters, audience and judges present were numb to this and did not feel much surprise.
After all, Liao Yuan did not give low scores in the performances of Nicole, Tokugawa Seimei and others.
Soon, the second day of competition ended. On this day, one-third of the players were eliminated again. Only 12 players successfully advanced, including Nicole, Tokugawa Seimei and Wu Di from China.
In tomorrow's competition, nearly two-thirds of the players will be eliminated, and there will only be five places that can advance.
The atmosphere became increasingly tense.
The third day of competition is the second round of the semi-finals. The contestants will compete by playing Tchaikovsky's concerto.
At this point, the test is the players’ understanding of the Tchaikovsky Competition.
That afternoon, after the competition, in order to let Pei Hongyu relax, Liao Yuan took her around the Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Music. While letting her experience the style of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory, he also told Pei Hongyu some of his ideas and thoughts.
idea.
"Our time needs classical music more than ever."
Liao Yuan sat on the campus lawn: "The tranquility and far-reaching contained in classical music creates an illusion that is not found in real life. This is enough to give modern people who compete, rush, physically and mentally exhausted and anxious all day long a moment of respite."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Pei Hongyu: "Why do you like classical music?"
Pei Hongyu hesitated for a moment and said: "I think classical music is very beautiful. What it expresses is that kind of sublime, majestic, majestic and majestic beauty, which is rare in pop music."
Liao Yuan smiled slightly: "Yes, this kind of beauty that makes people feel sublime and spiritual can indeed only be found in classical music nowadays. Without the adjustment of classical music, life would be much harder."
"What is your dream?" he asked again.
Pei Hongyu seemed a little nervous. She picked off a piece of green leaf, kneaded it gently, and said after a moment: "I have been learning the piano since I was five years old, and I have watched countless masters perform it. I have also been pursuing the life in the sound of the piano, and the so-called
The human and the piano are one, until that day, I met a so-called master. She told me that the purpose of learning the piano is just to get extra points for the college entrance examination, and there is no need to invest too much energy and emotion. From that time on, I was confused.
I spent college in a state of confusion, but now that I am awake, I want to be a great musician like you, boss."
Liao Yuan was stunned: "Do you think I am great?"
"Yes, because of you, more and more people like classical music. Now all the children studying piano in the country follow your example. Even your works are in the textbooks. You will be remembered forever in the future, even now
, even when you are abroad, you are admired by people everywhere."
Pei Hongyu said seriously: "I think this is a great achievement for a musician, and it should also be the meaning of our existence."
Liao Yuan smiled and changed the subject: "Are you sure about tomorrow?"
"Yes, I think I should be able to advance." Pei Hongyu said firmly.
Liao Yuan stood up, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "If you win the first place, I will fulfill my promise and help you arrange your new album and concert preparations as soon as possible. I wish you good luck."
"thank you."
Pei Hongyu bowed to Liao Yuan's leaving figure and said, "I won't let you down."
…
On the third day of the competition, after two days of competition, everyone felt nervous.
Because today will decide whether each competition group can return victoriously.
After today, the top five players from each group will be selected to advance to the finals. In the finals, regardless of victory or defeat, these five players will receive medals, competition certificates and some bonuses.
Wu Di was sitting on the contestants' bench, with a trace of sweat on his palms.
After two days of elimination, there were only twelve contestants left, and after today, only five spots were left.
This is a moment comparable to life and death.
There was no more laughter and laughter in the entire player stand.
Every player had a solemn look on their face. Even Nicole, who was lively and cheerful before, was just staring at her fingertips silently, not knowing what she was thinking.
Finally, the game started, and the first person to appear was Tokugawa Seimei.
The judges gave two piano pieces by Tchaikovsky for Tokugawa Seimei to choose from. One was the famous "Piano Concerto No. 1 in B flat minor" and the other was "June Barcarolle".
One is a concerto and the other is a solo piece. Choosing the latter is undoubtedly a very lucky thing, because concertos are usually performed by multiple people, and the momentum of a single solo will be much weakened, which is thankless.
But Tokugawa Seimei did not hesitate and confidently chose "Piano Concerto No. 1 in B flat minor".
This is the most famous piano concerto in Tchaikovsky's life. It is also a must-selected performance piece for many university professors when they hold public classes, and it is competed to perform by many first-class pianists.
This piano piece has a certain degree of difficulty in grasping emotions, and the main theme needs to be cheerful and unrestrained.
The deputy director needs to be very lyrical and beautiful.
Various emotions are mixed with each other. It is difficult for a world-class pianist to perform perfectly. It is also the most difficult piece in this round of competition.
The applause sounded like thunder.
Tokugawa Seimei walked onto the stage and sat in front of the piano. After a little preparation, he started playing in front of the audience.
…
On the other side, the competition in the violin group entered a fierce stage.
Since there were only five promotion spots, all the players made no reservations and almost all worked hard to win the competition.
Miyamoto Chaoyang played the "Violin Concerto in D major". The whole piece lasted for more than fifteen minutes. This piece is also Tchaikovsky's most famous violin work. It was intense, magnificent and passionate from the beginning.
The small climaxes in the middle part are even more exciting.
The whole song is always full of tight intensity, and the occasional gentleness in the middle makes the song relaxed and relaxed, making people feel comfortable.
There is no doubt that Miyamoto Asahi put a lot of effort into practicing this "Violin Concerto in D major".
This gave her a high score of 9.2, temporarily ranking first in the competition.
But when Pei Hongyu appeared, everything took a new turn——
Thanks to Yifeng9 and Shan Qingying for the reward
