The Queen Elizabeth Contest has entered a fierce stage, and related topics continue to rise in popularity on Twitter and Weibo.
Although Liao Yuan's song "Missing Through Time" did not receive high praise internationally, it also allowed him to successfully advance to the top six.
After watching this game, for many people, Liao Yuan did not seem to be as scary as they imagined. He seemed to be just a little better than Arimari's performance.
However, it was this little bit that became the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing Arima Rise to lose instantly.
Many people think that Arima Rise is not worth it, and think that if Arima Rise does not go astray and only judges the merits based on strength, the result may be a huge turn for the better.
But senior people in the industry know that there is nothing wrong with Arima Rise's approach.
Because in terms of strength alone, Arima Rise is really far behind.
Arima Rise also deeply understood this. She knew that her strength was not as good as her opponent, so she found another strange way. However, even her risky moves failed to change the situation of the battle.
But she was not discouraged because she knew that in terms of pure overall strength, Liao Yuan would definitely crush 99 so-called genius pianists in the world.
Her defeat at the hands of Liao Yuanjun was not a big surprise to her. Few people could climb this huge mountain.
Same for myself.
However, when the result appeared, deep in her heart, there was still a trace of regret.
After Liao Yuanmari's game in the sixth game, the first stage of the game was temporarily over.
At this point, the top six places in the Queen Elizabeth Piano Competition have also been announced.
They are Liao Yuan, Lin Weiyin, Zuo Chuan Taro, Wu Di, Sean Wilder and Liu Jae Hyuk.
When this result came out, global music review programs and major media were in an uproar.
Compared with the previous Queen Elizabeth Dash, this time, Asians can be said to have swept the top six places in the competition. Except for the black American pianist Sean, the other contestants who advanced are all Asians.
Among them, Liao Yuan, Lin Weiyin, and Wu Di are all Chinese, while Taro Zuokawa is Japanese and Liu Jaehyuk is Korean.
In this case, it can be said that there was a huge wave on Twitter.
While people in Europe and the United States were angry about the young pianists in their respective countries, people of all races also placed their hopes on the black pianist Sean, and began to cheer for Sean angrily.
At this moment, Sean seemed to be a hero standing on the last line of defense.
Even on the day the results came out, US President John F. Kennedy liked Sean's promotion on Twitter.
You know, Sean was a pianist personally promoted by President Kennedy.
He was invited to perform at the White House, and it was only then that Sean's name truly became famous around the world.
With Kennedy's likes, all major news media started to hype up this music competition, which also pushed the popularity of the Queen Elizabeth Contest to the highest level.
In recent days, short videos and news reports about the competition have often topped the hot search lists on major platforms.
After the game, the top six duel lists were also drawn and decided.
They are Lin Weiyin, Sean Wilder, Liao Yuan and Liu Zaihe, and Wu Di Zuokawa Taro.
At the same time, the players who failed to advance also started drawing lots. They will decide the list of seventh to twelfth place. However, compared to the top six, these players who failed to advance only received certificates of honor and did not win.
There are no subsequent material rewards to be obtained.
Under the spotlight, without any stagnation, the top six competition officially began the next day.
In the first game, Lin Weiyin Sean Wilder.
Sean is a black pianist who is 1.95 meters tall, but his figure is not as strong as other black people. He looks very slender, and even his facial features are very delicate. When Liao Yuan saw him for the first time
, I feel that Sean is a bit like the black pianist in the movie Green Book.
Similar classical piano competitions do not have too fancy other program unit performances. Even before this, the competition organizers had rejected funding from many sponsors. The officials seemed to want to distinguish this competition from the glamorous bitches from the outside world.
Overall, for the audience and players, the game looks cleaner and neater.
The players only showed up briefly before the start to take photos from media reporters, but refused to be interviewed.
Therefore, after a short adjustment, the game officially began.
The first person to appear was Lin Weiyin.
Today, Lin Weiyin is wearing a long black dress. Her waist looks plump and manageable, and her fair skin looks extremely dazzling under the light. Looking back, her red lips are lightly pursed, showing a charming look.
Not surprisingly, Lin Weiyin still plays the Chopin series.
The title of the song is "Natural Andante and Brilliant Polonaise". This piece is the most difficult piece in Chopin's Polonaise series, and it is also the most glorious piece. This piece is divided into two parts. Lin Wei
The second song is playing now.
At the same time, this piece is also a special piece for undergraduate postgraduate entrance examinations in many music academies around the world. It is a piece that is deeply remembered by many candidates. Therefore, when seeing Lin Weiyin playing this piece of music, many music students in the audience were stunned.
I felt the trembling in my fingers, and remembered the fear of being dominated by the glorious "big pineapple girl Noko" in those years.
The song emphasizes the control of emotions. Although many candidates rely on rote memorization and even develop muscle memory, if there is no emotional expression, the scores they get will still be very low.
But there is no doubt that as the contemporary female version of Chopin, Lin Weiyin gave an absolutely masterful performance. Every dance of her body and fingers brought great enjoyment to everyone present.
It was a groan from the soul, just like hearing Chopin's Ten Command Dance in contemporary times.
There are even Chopin admirers who can't help but dance to the music when they hear the lyrics and music.
"When it comes to the finals, it's obvious that the performers are in a tighter state..."
"My playing ability has also improved by more than one level."
"The more critical a situation comes, the more everyone has to take out the works that are at the bottom of the box."
"Lin Weiyin is worthy of being the gold medal winner of the Chopin Competition."
"Sean's expression is very solemn. It seems that he doesn't have much confidence."
"He has high hopes from the entire American piano industry, and even the entire European and American continent. If he fails, he will be scolded to death when he returns."
"President Kennedy also put a lot of pressure on him, but in the face of this brilliant Polonaise, he may really have to stop at the top six and go home."
"Mr. Sean's strength is terrifying, and there may be a reversal."
"Having said that, Miss Lin's strength and condition are still the same as before. This piece of music amazed me as much as her performance at the 2020 Chopin International Piano Competition..."
