Although the Youth Instrument Competition is the highest-level competition for the younger age groups in China, the division of the competition system is relatively rough.
There are three categories in total, wind instruments, string instruments and keyboard instruments.
In other words, if you are a violin student, then in this competition, you will have to use the violin to compete with cello, guitar, pipa, erhu, etc., which are completely different types of instruments.
It was precisely because he understood this unreliable competition system that Li Qingjue decisively abandoned the violin in the preliminaries and chose the piano.
Although there are many types of keyboard instruments, the piano is the true king among them all.
Unlike wind instruments and string instruments, where the heroes compete for supremacy and the flowers bloom, it is impossible to distinguish one, two, three or four.
Among keyboard instruments, when the piano comes out, everything changes.
Therefore, in this competition, although various musical instruments are allowed to participate in the category of keyboard instruments, without exception, all the contestants who registered chose the piano.
Unless you are extremely confident in your own skills, who would dare to compete with a piano using a pipe organ or accordion?
In addition, the drum set Lin Linlin participated in was classified into the category of string instruments.
When Xiao Qian found out, he almost vomited blood and died.
As the first category of this competition, keyboard instruments receive the most attention.
The first dozen people had finished their performances, and the only ones left were Li Qingjue and Xu Shaoyang.
The expressions of both of them were similar, very calm.
Those players in front are excellent, but they are not enough to threaten them.
Not surprisingly, the championship will be won between the two.
Li Qingjue came on the stage with his own small bench. Xiao Qian planned to help, but she refused.
For a regular piano, the chairs are matched and the height is specified.
But this is a competition for teenagers. Although the size of the piano is a unified standard, teenagers have different heights and arm lengths due to different ages. Therefore, in order to perform better, they must pay attention to these aspects.
Although the vast majority of contestants use chairs provided by the event organizer, people like Li Qingjue and Xu Shaoyang all bring their own equipment.
That feeling is just like a group of people going to an Internet cafe to hack. Everyone is using Shuangfeiyan in the Internet cafe. Only when you take IE3.0 out of your bag, the feeling is similar to Sennheiser.
Li Qingjue walked to the piano, placed the chair, turned around and held the piano and saluted downwards. The host announced the curtain and introduced her identity.
The seven judges were whispering and making comments.
"Professor Xu, this is a kid from your magical city. You must know him, right?"
Xu Mingxia haha.
"Not very familiar."
"That's right. You, Professor Xu, are a nationally renowned music expert, and you teach the best young talents. Such children, no matter how good they are, will have to study hard for several years before they can fall under your eyes."
Another judge found a bright spot.
"This kid has a really good temperament. He has the air of a general at a young age. If he has good talent, he will definitely stand out in the future."
His words made everyone's discussion more heated.
"Oh, don't tell me that I haven't noticed yet. Why is this child so beautiful? Look at her, she's not even dressed up, she just looks like a fairy. There are so many children in the field, but she's outshined them all.
.”
"If this kid doesn't study music, if he becomes a star, he will definitely become famous."
Some judges became eager.
"Let's talk first. If this child's talent is really good, I will definitely accept her as my disciple. You are not allowed to rob her."
Li Qingjue didn't know that the judges thought highly of her, and she was already sitting in front of the piano. Even if she knew, she wouldn't care.
If you know you are sure to win, then you won't have any tension.
Moreover, she was originally the kind of person with a big heart. The environment she lived in since she was a child made her knowledgeable far beyond her peers. Today's game was just a small scene.
Her green-white hands touched the keyboard, she closed her eyes gently, and quickly found the feeling she wanted.
It was obviously an extremely serious competition occasion, but for some reason, when she thought of the way Xiao Qian sang when he taught her this song, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
Such happiness did not affect her state of mind at all, making the melody she played even more full of emotion. Every note warmed the heart and the whole hall seemed to be blown by the spring breeze.
The seven judges had already stopped talking and all moved in unison. They put their hands under their chins and looked at Li Qingjue who was dancing on the stage while playing, and their expressions gradually softened.
They are all connoisseurs, and the emotions contained in the music cannot be hidden from their eyes.
The most beautiful thing is when I was a teenager and cautiously said I like you.
Passing through the barrier between the desk and the sea of books, I only look at you quietly, and this day is very happy.
Even if you look through old photos many years later, you will still appear vividly before your eyes, just like that summer.
The difficulty of the piece is very high, and the phantom that Li Qingjue gradually turns into is enough to prove this. But it is the most rare thing that the piece never loses its gentle romance amidst the intense playing.
The judges' expressions gradually became astonished. Although they could not speak, they could see each other's thoughts from each other's eyes.
This song... is so cleverly composed!
After three and a half minutes, Li Qingjue's playing ended on time. When the last note fell, it turned into continuous applause.
The contestants in the field, the audience above, and the focused judges all dared not be stingy.
In the music arena, good music has the ability to conquer.
After playing, call it a day, turn your head, and the girl will be enchanted even if she doesn’t smile.
Many teenagers suddenly find that their hearts are cracked, and a sweet emotion sneaks out. The feeling of shyness is not annoying.
It wasn't until Li Qingjue stood up and took his final call that the scene became noisy again.
The timid boy only dared to peek, while the bold boy whistled to express his love. The teachers at the scene were forced to maintain order so that the judges and the charming girl could complete the conversation.
"Good boy, thank you for your performance, let us enjoy the most beautiful piece of music today. Your performance is great. At your age, I think I really can't find anyone better than you."
The head of the judges was a kind-hearted old lady. Looking at Li Qingjue at this moment, she was filled with memories of her past youth.
Li Qingjue bowed and thanked him.
"Thank you, Grandma Jiang, for the compliment. I still need to work harder."
Not many people who study music don’t know this old lady.
Jiang Hua is China's most outstanding female vocal educator and world-renowned soprano, an authority on European classical art songs, and a famous pianist and singer.
The daughter of the principal of Baoding Military Academy during the Republic of China, the wife of the father of two bombs and one star, the cousin of the romantic poet of the Republic of China, and the cousin of the founder of Hong Kong's "Ming Pao" (but she did not write novels in this time and space).
The family background is so prominent that even Li Zhen had to bow his head and call her sister honestly.
"Child, can you tell me the origin of this song?"
Jiang Hua has been engaged in music education all his life and has taught countless great masters. He has also appreciated countless performances.
Although Li Qingjue plays well, he is not at the level of a master and cannot make the old lady have too many fluctuations.
Only this novel piece of music made the old lady like it very much.
She is a musician who has studied both China and the West. She has always emphasized that Chinese music must have an original spirit and has always encouraged originality.
Study Western classics, but don’t be superstitious about them.
In her opinion, the piece played by Li Qingjue has a very mature arrangement, beautiful melody, smooth and natural melody and full of profound meaning. It is definitely a rare masterpiece in recent years.
With her mother present, Li Qing would never dare to lie, and she was not a liar either.
Pointing to where Xiao Qian was, he said softly: "He made it."
Jiang Ying looked along and saw that the young man was just like that, with his gentle and jade-like eyes focused only on the girl, which made the old man even more happy.
What many people don't know is that Jiang Ying and her husband are childhood sweethearts.
When Jiang Hua was three years old, he was adopted into his husband's family.
Later, at a party between her two families, she and her husband sang "Yan Shuang Fei" together.
Who would have thought that this song would become a lifelong portrayal of the couple and make countless people envious.
Therefore, seeing the childhood sweetheart, the softness in my heart was even more touched.
The old lady understood everything when she saw the boy. No need to ask any more questions, everything was already stated in the song.
She turned her head slightly and looked at Xu Mingxia beside her. Only the two of them could hear her voice.
"The children you teach are very good."
Xu Mingxia sat on the wax, thinking that the confidentiality was very good. Unexpectedly, the old man knew everything like a candlelight.
Fortunately, the brat behaved well and was really kind to his daughter. Otherwise, wouldn’t he be able to hold his head high in front of the teacher in the future?
