Lin Weiyin's song "Grand Polonaise" made the whole audience excited. Many Chopin lovers were even more fascinated and felt that this trip was worthy of their visit.
As many people have guessed, the more critical the moment comes, the players will reveal their unique skills.
And whether it is mental state or personal skills, the performance of the players is more outstanding than in the previous games.
Lin Weiyin's wonderful performance made her opponent Sean look solemn.
Nowadays, almost every player who has reached the top six tournaments is a champion seed, and they are no less powerful than the champions.
The most important thing is to look at the ability to perform on the spot.
There is no doubt that Lin Weiyin's performance this time was definitely at his peak.
As one of America's leading pianists, Sean's life must have been full of ups and downs. He was born in a slum in Africa. He suffered from hunger since he was a child and was skinny. He has never seen his biological parents since he was born. He suffered from deep hunger and malnutrition.
After falling into a coma, he was adopted by an orphanage and began cultural studies.
That year, he was five years old.
Soon after, under the guidance of the teacher at the orphanage, Sean began to cultivate his hobbies.
At that time, Sean, who was only six years old, showed excellent talent in music, especially in piano skills, surpassing or even crushing his peers. What is even more gratifying is that Sean's obsession with music
Also more than ordinary people.
Interests and hobbies determine your future life.
From that time on, the orphanage decided to carry forward Sean's hobby.
A year later, Sean, who performed well, was adopted by a music teacher couple in Mauritius on the African continent.
Mauritius is one of the few developed and wealthy countries in Africa. It has a relatively wealthy life and a relatively developed economy. It is known as the "Switzerland of Africa". The adoptive parents' family is a standard middle class in Mauritius as a whole, and they definitely have the opportunity to adopt Sean.
economic strength.
From then on, under the education of his adoptive parents, Sean began to compete in various music competitions and became invincible.
In various large and small piano competitions throughout Europe and the United States, Sean's performance attracted the attention of many music schools. Sean, who was only thirteen years old, was admitted in advance to the Hanover Conservatory of Music in Germany.
The Hanover Conservatory of Music is one of the most famous public music conservatories in Germany and even the world.
Its popularity in the European and American music circles is equivalent to Harvard University's status in the world of academic circles, and its piano major is even known as the Oxford of the piano world. There are four or five world-famous masters teaching in the department, which is among the best in the world.
It can be said that no one can beat him.
At the age of twenty-four, Sean was invited to perform at the White House. Not only was he personally entertained by US President Kennedy, but he was also given a green card.
Last year, the music he produced won a Grammy Award.
Prior to this, Sean had also won many awards including the German Classical Echo.
Today, Sean, who is only 27 years old, can be said to shoulder the hopes of the entire European and American continent in this year's Queen Elizabeth Piano Competition.
Because except Sean, the other five players are all from Asia.
This was something very incredible in the past.
But this is exactly what happened, and the rise of Asian musicians shocked the world.
Lin Weiyin alone has already doubled Sean's pressure, not to mention the man who is staring at him in the audience.
"Liao Yuan..."
Sean took a deep breath and waited silently for Lin Weiyin to finish playing. Then, amid applause, he stood up and walked to the stage.
At this moment, the whole world is watching. Even though he has experienced countless competitions, the journey from the contestants' bench to the stage is always the most difficult moment for Sean.
However, all this discomfort disappeared when he sat on the piano bench and touched the black and white keyboard with his hands.
Facing the piano, he has strong self-confidence.
The "Grand Polonaise" played by Lin Weiyin can be regarded as the pinnacle of the Chopin series. In terms of emotional expression, Lin Weiyin is unparalleled in the world. After all, he is the gold medal winner of the Chopin Piano Competition.
Therefore, Sean clearly knew that even he was not very confident in competing with Lin Weiyin in terms of emotional expression. Therefore, just like Arima Rise yesterday when facing Liao Yuan, he chose to find another strange way.
.
He remembered the pianist Balakiyev's "Islamic".
Balakiyev is an excellent pianist. He plays the piano from memory and never reads music. He created a set of highly technical piano works, the most famous of which is the song "Islamic Music".
》.
In terms of difficulty, although it is not as good as Rachmaninoff's "Piano Concerto No. 3", it is in the same sequence as Liszt's "Will-o'-the-Wisp", or even more so.
This is an extremely difficult work to perform. It is the product of Balakirev's 1870 trip to the Caucasus to collect music. The subtitle of this work is "Oriental Fantasia".
This piece is divided into three sections: first, the main part, which expresses the theme; then the middle section, which plays the emotional Andante; and finally, the ending, which speeds up the pace and returns to the theme.
The ending is a very frenetic and intense Presto.
Because of its extremely high difficulty and high demands on the player's skills, many pianists regard it as a challenge.
For the piano lovers in the audience, when they heard Sean press the first key, they felt goosebumps all over their bodies.
This is the most difficult piano piece that has appeared since the top 12.
The series of harmonies, the continuous percussion and acceleration, the strong and weak sound of the piano, at this moment, hit us like a huge wind and waves, making people unable to help but become more and more suffocated.
In the audience, Wu Di's eyes suddenly brightened.
Apart from his teacher, this is the top pianist he has ever seen who is known for his speed.
Seeing Sean's long and dark fingers jumping back and forth on the black and white keys, so fast that he couldn't even see the fingerings, Wu Di aroused a strong fighting spirit in his heart, so much so that he couldn't hold his hands between his knees.
Keep trembling and follow the continuous bouncing of the piano sound.
As an opponent, Lin Weiyin felt as calm as a lake after witnessing Xiao En's power.
She is good at emotional expression, and Sean, a pianist who is good at showing off his skills and speed, are on two different paths.
She represents the top of the line, and Sean...
At least from Lin Weiyin's point of view, Sean's dazzling skills seemed to be a little inferior to those of his man Liao Yuan.
After all, he was the man who played Rachmaninoff's "Piano Concerto No. 3", and he was the great pianist who composed "The Immortal Chapter" by himself!
Lin Weiyin raised his chin slightly.
No one understands better than her how terrifying Liao Yuan's fingers are!
