As a modern female version of Chopin, Lin Weiyin has a wide reputation internationally. In terms of conveying emotions alone, the timbre of "Waltz in A Minor" is simply wonderful. Although the love conveyed in it has no results, it can still be felt.
The sweetness and hesitation in it made all the pianists in the audience sigh with emotion.
"In 2020, I met Ms. Lin at the Chopin Piano Competition. Not only did she win the gold medal, but she also broke the 15-year silence that had been vacant for two consecutive years... At that time...
It shocked the entire world music scene.”
"Now three years have passed, and her attainments in emotional transmission are getting better and better. No wonder she is called Chopin's successor by many experts."
"Our piano master Mr. Andy may be in danger, but why is he still smiling? Oh, this playboy may have fallen in love with some beautiful girl at first sight!"
"Andy is good at a comprehensive range of genres. In this regard, the only one who can compete with him is perhaps Mr. Liao from China."
"Yes, you are thinking the same thing as me. Although Ms. Lin's skills are extraordinary, it will most likely be a duel between Liao and Andy in the end."
"Hey, have you forgotten Sean? This is a pianist that even President Kennedy fell in love with, a master player who has played in the White House."
"Arima Rise is actually pretty good..."
Lin Weiyin's "Waltz in A Minor" intoxicated the audience. Soon, the song was over. Under the spotlight, Finnish pianist Andy came on the stage. There was even warmer applause. Some female compatriots
It's refreshing.
Andy indeed fit the style of a handsome grand pianist. He was full of oil and bowed slightly to the audience, then blew several kisses with both hands to the audience.
"This libertine..."
The men looked at each other and felt a little uncomfortable, but many women had already raised their hands in excitement.
Thunderous applause.
Andy sat down, and when everything stopped, he showed a winning smile, and his hands began to fly wantonly on the keys.
Andy is famous for his turbulent playing. In the Nordic continent, he has been judged by many international media as one of the young people with the most potential to perform today.
He is good at a variety of music styles, and is therefore called the Nordic version of Liao Yuan by the Chinese media.
What he was playing now was Chopin's "Bolero", which surprised many people. Some even suspected that Andy had not done his homework beforehand. But even so, when faced with Lin Weiyin's "Waltz in A Minor"
", is he really confident about winning?
You know, Lin Weiyin is called the female version of Chopin by modern media and music circles. This title is definitely not in vain...
Unlike the well-known "Waltz in A minor", "Bolero" is relatively less well-known. There are two great versions on the market. In addition to Chopin's version, the other version was played by the great pianist Ravel.
.
What Andy is playing now is the version played by Chopin. This piece was composed in 1832 and is full of the form of Chopin's boyhood.
"He actually played the Chopin series..."
"Andy and Chopin belong to the same country. Although there is a gap of more than two hundred years, his playing is indeed more similar to Chopin, full of strong Polish style."
"The skills and expression of emotion are indeed perfect."
"I am becoming more and more optimistic about Andy. The way he performs is really intoxicating."
"But... in fact, if we compare carefully, Ms. Lin's performance is actually amazing. There doesn't seem to be any absolute advantage or disadvantage between the two."
"Yes, in this way, the judges' perception is more important."
The "Bolero" played by Andy was full of enthusiasm and contained the spirit of knights and heroes. The audience couldn't help but nod their heads with a look of enjoyment.
Liao Yuan was sitting in the audience, with his hands crossed and his face a little solemn.
Wu Di whispered from the side: "Teacher, I think his playing is very good, but not as good as you. I don't think you need to worry."
Liao Yuan laughed, but he didn't say anything.
He is actually not worried about himself. It doesn't matter if he doesn't win the championship. It's just that this time it's a match between Lin Weiyin and the opponent. Of course he hopes Lin Weiyin can win this victory, but from Liao Yuan's point of view, regardless of
Whether it was Lin Weiyin's "Waltz in A Minor" or Andy's "Bolero", there was actually no obvious difference between the two.
And because they are both works by Chopin, the two pieces of music have very similar playing styles in some details, which makes it even more difficult for onlookers to make a choice.
Soon, when Andy's performance ended and after a little discussion, the judges gave the final answer to the competition.
"Congratulations to Miss Lin from China for winning this victory."
The audience was silent for two or three seconds, and then the applause gradually started.
Andy, who was originally smiling, suddenly became stiff after hearing the result.
"impossible!"
He lost control and made a sound.
Many people around him looked at him.
Andy was not aware of the gaffe at all. Under the attention of the people around him, he said in disbelief: "How could I lose?"
Yes, how could you lose?
I am a famous Polish pianist with amazing performances on the entire international stage. How could I lose?
"Andy, calm down!"
The manager stopped Andy from continuing to lose control and said in a deep voice: "It's just a failure. Let's sum up the experience of failure and try again next time."
In fact, even the agent did not expect that Andy would lose, because judging from his past performance in the competitions, Andy was basically invincible in any competition he participated in.
At this time, one of the judges noticed what was going on here and turned to the microphone and said: "Among Chopin's series of works, "Bolero" is more difficult than "Waltz in A Minor", but from the emotional point of view
In terms of performance, the latter is obviously more difficult. In addition, Ms. Lin's performance is more emotionally memorable and technically impeccable. Therefore, after discussion, we decided that Ms. Lin won."
The audience gradually began to talk about it.
"So that's it."
"Andy actually chose the wrong repertoire. Since Miss Lin was able to win the gold medal in the Chopin International Competition, which had been vacant for fifteen years, she is naturally outstanding. In today's era, Miss Lin is the modern version of Chopin. With
To compete with Miss Lin with Chopin’s works is obviously overestimating one’s abilities.”
"Andy is too proud and too complacent. Perhaps this failure will help him clearly realize his shortcomings."
"Yes, he does not lack strength, but he is too complacent, and his complacency has stopped him from moving forward."
"As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. He should clearly understand Miss Lin's information. If he understood it carefully, he would not use Chopin's works to compete with Miss Lin."
"In terms of emotional expression in Chopin's works, Ms. Lin is definitely No. 1 in this era!"
No one can influence the reviewer's decision or change it.
Therefore, in the competition between Lin Weiyin and Finnish grand pianist Andy, Lin Weiyin won.
By this time, the game had reached its fifth game.
This competition is a duel between Japanese great pianist Taro Sakkawa and Russian-American female pianist Sylvia Laura.
Although the gap between Taro Sakkawa and Laura is too obvious in terms of fame and popularity, in terms of strength performance, it is obvious that the unknown Taro Sakkawa is better. Therefore, in the fifth game,
Taro Sakkawa achieved an undisputed victory.
But this does not mean that Laura is a vase, because her performance is equally remarkable.
