Chapter 100 About the Potential Crisis of the Second Round
Outside the Zhongshan Concert Hall, it was already dark.
He Jing stood in front of the rolling fluorescent screen at the large door of the concert hall. Occasionally, a gust of cold wind blew through her long hair, and she shrank her shoulders.
She was not alone, there were others waiting quietly around the door.
Until the first girl in a dress who walked out of the main entrance of the concert hall appeared, everyone looked at her in unison.
As soon as the girl went out, she threw herself into the arms of a middle-aged woman and started sobbing.
The gate was no longer quiet from this moment on.
Then, young people walked out of the door one after another, each with different emotions on their expressions.
Five minutes passed, and there were fewer and fewer people at the gate.
He Jing couldn't wait any longer and was about to take out her mobile phone.
At this moment, a tall and thin figure suddenly appeared at the door, holding his knees and panting, but with a playful smile.
"sister--"
"Why don't you wait at the hotel?"
Under the fluorescent screen, He Jing's eyebrows finally relaxed, and the expression that softened instantly was indescribably moving, and her dry lips opened and closed slightly.
"Then why are you running?"
…
"Sister, I want to eat dumplings."
"eat."
…
"Guess who I met today?"
"who?"
...
Along the street lights, the two siblings walked farther and farther, and finally disappeared under the street lights at the corner intersection.
I don’t know how long it took, but the fluorescent screen at the entrance of Zhongshan Concert Hall also went out.
The two siblings, who returned to the hotel after the meal, sat side by side by the window and chatted for a long time until midnight came.
The two of them returned to their beds.
Turn off the lights.
Say good night to each other.
After a while, the gray hut became completely quiet, just like the fuge bar facing the street outside the window.
The ordinary fifth day of the New Year ends.
There is another thing worth mentioning during this period. While He Jing was washing up, Qin Jian wanted to find the sheet music of "Girl in the Garden" and look through it, but unexpectedly found that the accompanying notebook was missing.
This made Qin Jian a little annoyed.
A night of silence.
【08:30】
With the cell phone alarm clock vibrating in his ears, Qin Jian rubbed his eyes and climbed out of bed before He Jing.
I simply moved my body and dispersed a lot of sleepiness.
After a simple wash, he dressed tightly, checked the music scores in his backpack, and left the room.
Stepping into the morning light, I walked towards the Yuefu Qin.
There are less than 30 hours left before the start of the second round.
Qin Jian couldn't take any time off.
Prior to this, Qin Jian didn't pay much attention to the results of the competition that would be announced this afternoon.
After watching yesterday's debate match, 30 out of 20, there was no problem.
But it was also this that made him worry about the second round.
‘On the style and performance of The Girl in the Garden.’
…
Although the fourth movement of the Sonata No. 1 in F minor was not ranked highly in terms of technical difficulty in yesterday's competition, the piece still fully met the requirements of the competition repertoire and was well known by the judges.
And judging from the comprehensive reactions from the judges' bench yesterday after each contestant finished, most of the judges have strict requirements on whether the contestants' playing styles are in place, although there are some judges who have strong reactions to the innovative performances.
But for most judges, classical music requires rigor.
More specifically, like rules and frameworks.
For example, when works from the Classical period suddenly begin to advocate freedom, and when works from the Romantic period are no longer full of individual expression, such processing methods may be attributed to lack of rigor, or foul play, and going out of the circle.
Naturally, the results will not be too optimistic.
So after vaguely grasping some rules of the field, Qin Jian felt that he needed to examine the girls in the XHY area again.
For this extremely niche modernist piano work, how should the performance techniques and processing methods be adjusted so that the new language and unique tonality of modernist music can be more brilliant and eye-catching.
This will be related to how to successfully pass the second level of the seventeen judges.
Ten people are already destined to leave the arena.
The competition in the next stage is bound to be more intense.
call.
There is still time, come on...
…
"Oh, fuck"
Qin Jian crossed the road and came to the gate of Yuefu Music Store and was stunned.
Looking at a string of English words next to the locked door, my gradually rising motivation was instantly suppressed by half.
"Change the road."
Qin Jian didn't have time to complain, so he immediately decided to find a new home.
I don’t have time to wait, so I can look for the book later.
…
Ten minutes later, Qin Jian found a new piano store on the street less than one kilometer away from the Zhongshan Concert Hall.
The interior and size are not even slightly inferior to those of Yuefu Music Store, but they are no longer allowed to be picky.
After paying the deposit at the front desk, Qin Jian successfully entered a small practice room separated by transparent glass.
A black upright piano is leaning against the wall with the lid open, as if waiting for the favor of some big hand.
…
10:13
An hour and a half had passed, and Qin Jian listened to the previous recording over and over again.
I wrote and scratched against the music score in my hand, and gradually found some deficiencies in my performance.
In the Tea Table Piano Pavilion, regarding the girl in the garden, Liao Linjun’s prompts are more about finding a carrier from the image of life.
Such as nature, girls, or virginity.
It seems that I really feel the inner feeling that this piece of work needs to express.
But to express the feeling through actual performance is another matter.
Fundamentally speaking, this is a thoroughly modernist piano piece.
Different from composers in the classical period, they would divide the musical phrases in the music passages concisely and regularly, so the main tune music with a strict musical form structure can directly express the musical image and convey emotions.
Modern works are filled with a large number of complex harmonic structures, and the melodies are irregular or even fluent, breaking the traditional mode and tonality.
so...
Gradually, Qin Jian wrote faster and faster, and from time to time he would press a few speakers on the piano, making strange sounds, which attracted the clerk outside the glass partition of the piano room to look here.
After the last recording was played, Qin Jian turned off his phone and nodded as he looked at the questions gathered on the music chart.
He picked up his cell phone and sent a text message to He Jing, informing him that he was practicing the piano and sent his location. Then he threw the cell phone aside and moved the music score neatly to the music stand.
"Practice the piano."
…
Six hours later.
…
Under the stunned expression of the piano store clerk, the boy paid the 50 yuan for the piano room usage fee and walked out of the door elegantly.
After going out and facing the wind for a minute, the boy was able to calm down and then took out his mobile phone.

On the fluorescent screen in front of the Zhongshan Concert Hall, there is a red list.
At the top of the red list is the words ‘Advanced list for the preliminary round of the piano group of the 6th Huayun Music Skills Competition’
In a very conspicuous location.
‘Qin Key No. 21’
