The morning sun was just breaking, and in front of the Royal Concert Hall, media were streaming in. Under the spotlight, a convoy of Rolls-Royces slowly arrived.
When the first figure stepped out of the carriage, the whole place caused a sensation.
As the Belgian princess, the crown prince of the royal family, and the future first heir to Queen Elizabeth, Theresa is definitely the most dazzling presence among the many constitutional monarchy countries in the world.
At only nineteen years old, she has become the focus of people throughout Europe and even the world with her pure temperament and stunning appearance since she was a child.
Even now that she is an adult, her beauty is still eye-catching. With her long golden hair and tall and slim figure, her every move attracts people's attention.
Of course, in addition to having royal genes and good looks, the future Queen of Belgium is also an academic master. She not only speaks French and English, but is currently learning German and Chinese.
Her biggest hobbies are painting and playing the piano, and she also knows how to perform graceful ballet. She is a princess who is both talented and beautiful.
This is Teresa's first time coming to the Queen Elizabeth Contest, and she is obviously curious about the things around her, but the temperament of the Crown Prince is clearly visible, and his actions and actions reveal stability and generosity.
After she got off the carriage, she did not leave immediately, but stood on the red carpet and waited quietly.
Soon, the audience cheered four times, and the solemn and noble Queen Elizabeth Mary stepped out of the carriage. Teresa quickly supported her mother.
Although Queen Mary was well-maintained, she could not escape the traces of time on her face at nearly fifty years old. She kept smiling from beginning to end, nodding slightly to the cheering people around her, accompanied by Teresa and many guards.
, walked into the Royal Concert Hall.
The breath that everyone was holding in their chests finally came out heavily.
Many people had excited looks on their faces.
This is the first time in twelve years that Queen Elizabeth has crowned the winner of the Queen Elizabeth Piano Competition.
This is a moment destined to be recorded in the history books of Belgium.
After the arrival of Her Royal Highnesses the Queen and Princess, the top three contestants who participated in today's competition finally arrived one by one.
Even in the middle of summer, pianists still come to the competition elegantly wearing black evening gowns, ties or bow ties. Even if they are not players, they are still dressed in the same way.
This is what Liao Yuan hates the most, but he has no idea of breaking the worldly view, because the ceremonial dress of the contestants is also a kind of score given by the judges. It is impossible for him to dress like the prodigal Maxim in his previous life.
Jeans, sleeveless shirt, playing the piano manically.
Fortunately, with the advent of the new century, people's vision and aesthetics have changed, and British-style suits will also appear in grand occasions. This choice makes Liao Yuan not so annoying.
Wu Di obviously followed suit. After seeing Liao Yuan wearing a short suit, he immediately changed into a similar suit, and often secretly looked at Liao Yuan. Every move he made seemed to be imitating the teacher, including his expressions and words.
Action and behavior.
This sounds scary, but Wu Di enjoyed it.
Liao Yuan didn't think too much about this.
The three contestants got out of the car one after another, accepted interviews with the media for a moment, and then filed into the hall.
After Queen Mary briefly commented on this year's piano competition, she encouraged the top three contestants. Without too much elaboration, the competition officially began.
The top three teams will be drawn in order of appearance.
The first person to appear was Wu Di.
He still plays a series of works by Liszt called "Mephisto Waltz". This piece is also often meant as "Devil's Waltz" because Mephisto is the character in Goethe's play "Faust".
devil.
The clicking sound appeared in people's ears for the first time. This is a waltz in which the drum beats can be heard in the piano music. It is a representative work of Liszt's virtuosic works.
People were immersed in the pleasant music, and many closed their eyes with expressions of enjoyment on their faces.
For these classical music lovers, the performance of an excellent pianist is indeed an auditory feast.
Her Royal Highness Princess Teresa was listening to "The Devil's Waltz", but her eyes were curiously looking at the yawning Liao Yuan on the contestants' bench.
That's the man who created "War Rhapsody"...
It looks like he hasn't woken up yet...
Next to Liao Yuan, Sean sat upright, observing Wu Di's performance with a serious face.
He is the next one to play. Compared with Liao Yuan, who is relatively relaxed and abnormal, Sean is obviously under a lot of pressure. In this game, he must go all out, because just last night, US President Kennedy made a speech
tweeted: "Sean is the greatest grand pianist in the United States today. I can see that in the near future, he will become a leader in the music scene. I wish him well in advance and hope that in tomorrow's competition, he will make American piano better."
The world is back on its feet, God bless dear Sean!"
There is no doubt that Kennedy's personal remarks made the person involved, Sean, even more stressed.
Therefore, last night, he imitated and performed the final performance countless times in his mind, until his spirit could no longer bear it and he fell asleep.
But now, after witnessing Wu Di's performance, he relaxed a little, and his attention gradually shifted to Liao Yuan next to him.
This guy……
I kept yawning. I must have worked hard till late yesterday to practice!
He is indeed a respectable opponent!
Sean nodded secretly.
wrong!
This must be a smoke bomb!
How could such an important game not be taken seriously?
Pretending to be relaxed?
In fact, Liao Yuan worked very hard. After the dinner last night, he lingered with Lin Weiyin for a while. Thinking about the ambassador's instructions, he got up and started writing many performance drafts for the trip to the United States.
After a lot of reinvention, he finally decided on the repertoire to be played at the White House. When he came to his senses, he found that it was almost three o'clock in the morning. After hurriedly washing up and falling asleep, he was scheduled to enter the competition early in the morning. This made him feel
Feeling a little mentally exhausted.
Therefore, I take advantage of the time when I haven't played yet to catch up on some sleep so that I can be energetic when I play.
Of course he was concerned about today's game, but he didn't think he would lose.
This should be a strong self-confidence deep within.
Finally, Wu Di finished playing and Sean came on the stage.
He stood up, walked heavily, and walked onto the stage step by step, like a warrior who was not afraid of life and death.
He could feel the admiration and admiration in the eyes of the people behind him, so he straightened his waist even more.
He could even imagine that Liao Yuan, who was pretending to be relaxed, was feeling anxious and nervous at this time.
Just like myself waiting before going on stage.
That must be the case!
With Sean thinking this, he pretended to turn back casually and glanced at Liao Yuan on the contestants' bench.
I saw Liao Yuan lowering his head from time to time, his head moving bit by bit, feeling very sleepy. ——
