Among all Chopin's works, "Piano Concerto No. 1 in E minor" is definitely a moving poem, especially its first movement, which is haunting and has a special status like a Bible in the minds of many piano lovers.
.
Many people's fascination with Chopin began with this concerto. It has been more than two hundred years since the birth of this concerto, during which dozens of classic performance versions were produced.
It is extremely difficult to surpass these classics.
Especially in the competition field, it is more difficult to rely on this familiar movement to win. The test is not only the strength of the performance, but also the on-the-spot reaction and expression ability.
Therefore, even though Meng Han practiced day and night for today's performance, when he actually started playing, his personal mood inevitably fluctuated. Such fluctuations made his piano sound a little tense.
It gives people the illusion that an arrow is on the string and has to be fired.
More than two hundred years ago, Chopin had a clear explanation of this work in a letter to a friend. He did not require the performance of this concerto to be very powerful. Everything was romantic, calm and slightly melancholy.
As a basis, it is necessary to deepen the impression of a bright moon and a good night in spring in the minds of the audience.
The current Meng Han has obviously violated Chopin's original intention of writing this piece of music.
He was playing the first movement, but the sound was full of tension, as if there were countless carriages chasing madly behind him, and like a child who had made a mistake, looking at a loss.
In fact, Meng Han also clearly realized this.
Sweat appeared on his forehead. He knew that once the tempo accelerated, it would be impossible to stop. He would either have to bite the bullet and continue talking, or stop playing. Don't try to relax the melody, which would make the whole piece more abrupt.
It was in this fast-paced performance that Meng Han played the entire piece completely.
"It's over!"
A look of annoyance appeared on Meng Han's face. When he stood up and gave a gentleman's salute to the judges and the audience, although the applause continued, he could clearly see the ridicule in people's eyes and the corners of their mouths.
He felt his heart suddenly throbbing in pain, and subconsciously looked at the corner of the players' bench.
At that moment, although the man's expression was neither sad nor happy, and looked ruthless, his applause seemed to be very hard.
"What is this? Pity?" Meng Han walked off the stage in despair.
Subsequently, after discussions among the judges, Meng Han finally scored 82 points, barely on the edge of crossing the line. Whether he can successfully advance to the next round depends on the results of subsequent contestants.
"He knows us?"
In the audience, Fu Xiaoci asked curiously: "What is that look? Do we owe him money?"
"It's considered acquaintance. I met him once."
Liao Yuan's slender fingers tapped slowly on his knees, "There have been some small conflicts, but they are not major problems. We are all Chinese. When we go abroad, we should be consistent with the outside world and not engage in internal conflicts."
"Hey, Brother Yuan, what you said is very leader-like!" Fu Xiaoci laughed.
At this moment, a young man wearing a peaked cap walked up to the seat behind Liao Yuan. After changing seats with the people there, he whispered to Liao Yuan: "Teacher..."
Liao Yuan heard the voice and turned around in confusion. When he saw the young man's appearance, he was a little surprised: "Wu Di?"
Wu Di looked a little excited, "Teacher, what a coincidence, we are in the same hall."
"It's a coincidence." Liao Yuan smiled slightly.
After Wu Di won the Tchaikovsky Competition last year, he became very popular at home and abroad. He almost received the same treatment as Lin Weiyin when he won the Chopin Gold Medal. He was very popular in the industry and received countless awards after returning to China.
Exclusive interviews with the media, and now the net worth is no longer what it used to be.
It is worth mentioning that after Wu Di won the Tchaikovsky Prize, he always regarded himself as Liao Yuan's disciple. In some interviews, he often talked about the details of the exchanges with Liao Yuan during the Tchaikovsky Competition, even though Liao Yuan
Although he did not admit it directly, it seemed to the outside world that he acquiesced in Wu Di's statement. Therefore, on Wu Di's resume, you often see words such as "Liao Yuan's disciple and student".
"Teacher, your outfit today is really cool."
Wu Di looked at Liao Yuan's makeup and said seriously: "I will ask my assistant to put on such makeup for me tomorrow."
Liao Yuan couldn't laugh or cry.
At this time, a new round of contestants' performances began, and the audience fell silent and began to listen to the new contestants' performances.
What surprised people was that the new player's performance was also Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 1, and it also had the same first movement.
This surprised people, and one of the judges asked repeatedly: "Are you sure?"
"OK." The new contestant said confidently: "Without comparison, there is no gap. I believe in Chopin's works, we Poles understand the spirit and meaning of them better."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone at the scene actually applauded.
Although it quickly became silent, the scene was impressive.
But Meng Han, who had just stepped down, suddenly turned red. This obvious racial discrimination made him feel very uncomfortable and even a little angry.
But what the other party said is watertight, so it is somewhat inappropriate to accuse the other party of discrimination.
"My name is George Rowan. I am from Warsaw, Poland. I come from the same place as Chopin. Please remember my name."
After the new player introduced himself, he sat on the piano bench, glanced sideways at the audience, and then started playing.
"This big aquiline nose..."
In the audience, Fu Xiaoci said angrily: "What is that look in his eyes? Is he provoking me?"
"Sister Xiaoci, I think he is provoking the teacher."
Wu Di whispered: "George was originally a university piano teacher. Although he didn't win any awards, his performance videos are very famous on the Internet and he is very powerful. However, because he is a famous racist,
So he was very unpopular, and it also cost him his job, but it is undeniable that he is indeed a very capable pianist."
"You brat, do you know what it means to boost the morale of others and destroy your own prestige?"
Fu Xiaoci became even more angry. He raised his hand and knocked Wu Di's peaked cap hard, attracting the attention of the people around him.
Liao Yuan said: "Quiet."
Wu Di immediately shut his mouth tightly.
Fu Xiaoci directed her grievances at the Polish man with a hawk-nosed nose on the stage, but soon she was a little surprised.
Although this man named George is very arrogant, his performance ability is really strong. He played "Chopin Piano No. 1" with such tenderness that it seems to make people immersed in endless tenderness and unable to extricate themselves.
.
Compared with Meng Han, both the rhythm and the expression of emotions are obviously better.
