The boy checked his belongings one last time and left the hotel.
…
Qin Jian has made all preparations for the next semi-finals.
Just waiting for the moment to appear.
From the perspective of the entire schedule, it seems that we are halfway through, but Qin Jian knows in his heart that the real game has just begun.
Round 3: It is required to complete a complete sonata, which is the best consideration for a pianist's personal level.
Round 4: It is required to complete a concerto, which tests the performer's ability to coordinate the complex relationship between the piano and the multi-part orchestra.
With the Day of Wrath in hand, Qin Jian is indeed qualified to challenge any player in the fourth round, but the conditions for using this trump card are too harsh.
As far as the current situation is concerned.
5,000 worship points is definitely not a small amount.
Qin Jian must accumulate enough worship points in the first three rounds.
In fact, as soon as he got the competition regulations, he had already arranged the order of the four rounds of competition in his mind.
In the first round, for the sake of stability, Qin Jian chose the urgent movement of Piano Sonata No. 1 in F minor.
Although there was a little accident at the end of the actual competition, looking at the entire movement, from the tentative breakthrough in speed to the integrity of the entire movement, the style was almost impeccable.
The reactions from the judges in the audience also verified his idea very well.
In the semi-finals, Qin Jian admitted that choosing "Girl in the Garden" was a risky move he had no choice but to make.
He has no choice. Assuming that the second chapter continues to seek stability and pathos, he will definitely be able to appear in the list to be announced later with a relatively high ranking and gain a lot of admiration.
But this is almost an early announcement that the schedule is over.
The Girl in the Garden was placed in the third round of sonatas as a modern sketch. It had no combat effectiveness at all, and it was doomed to be eliminated.
Therefore, Qin Jian must take this risk in order to take on more possibilities in the future.
Even if it stops at "Second Round", the order of the first three tracks cannot be changed.
But thankfully, "Girl in the Garden" has a modern performance design with an alternative sense of freedom.
Qin Jian got the last ticket in the third round.
For him, twelfth place is indeed enough.
Now we have finally reached the third round without any danger.
The Pathetique Sonata can finally appear in its most appropriate position.
Next, we need to do everything we can to gain adoration points.
Qin Jian needs worship value, both now and in the future.
"call."
"The 800-seat opera hall will never disappoint anyone."
Sighing, Qin Jian continued to walk towards the bright lights ahead.
The sky has almost darkened, but there are more and more people at the entrance of the Grand Theater
17:27.
After passing through the dense crowd of spectators, Qin Jian showed his contestant certificate to the staff of the Grand Theater Opera Hall. Qin Jian passed through the contestant passage and arrived at the backstage of the opera hall.
Compared with the backstage of the Peony Hall of Zhongshan Concert Hall, it is wider and the facilities seem to be more complete, but the structure is also a bit complicated.
I found a rest room casually.
After entering the door, four large screens overhead were broadcasting live broadcasts from the four corners of the stadium.
The dark golden hall looks like a strong European music hall. In addition to the semi-curved auditorium in front of the stage, there are second-floor seats surrounding the outer edge of the hall.
More than a dozen cameras are placed in every corner of the hall.
There is nothing on the stage except lights.
"Qin Jian."
Suddenly, a crisp call came from the door.
Qin Jian turned around and saw Duan Ran standing outside the door frame holding a handbag. The girl wrapped in a scarf under the coat looked particularly warm.
Since the other party took the initiative to say hello, Qin Jian was about to say something when he saw the tall girl pointing to a few small words on the side of the door.
【Female dressing room】
…
"I really didn't see it!"
…
At 17:30, the opera hall opened and the audience entered. Soon, most of the audience seats were occupied.
At 17:50, the judges entered through a special channel.
At the same time, the semi-finals of the wind band group in the next hall have ended, and the judges announced the results on the spot.
The list of the first six finalists of the 6th Huayun Youth Music Skills Competition has appeared.
Among them, the trumpet player named Wu Lian currently occupies the first place with an average score of 94.674.
When the wind band competition ended, the percussion group competition began.
18:00.
Two ancient bells chimed in the opera hall.
‘Buzz————’
‘Buzz————’
After a commotion in the entire hall, the host's voice rang out.
“…”
As usual, after introducing the competition matters and judges, the host continued to read out the viewing order.
Finally, under the warm applause of the audience.
"The Sixth Huayun Youth Music Skills Competition Piano Category Semi-finals"
"Officially begin"
moment.
"The first contestant to appear in this round is - Li Zhirun, recommended by the Qin Provincial Musicians Association"
"Designated piano, Steinway Model D"
"She will bring the following tracks"
"[Beethoven Piano Sonata No. 5 in C minor]"
"Instructor, Zuo Heng"
A woman's dressing room.
"Little sadness," Qin Jian said to Duan Ran, looking at the girl in pink dress walking out on the big screen, "I haven't heard her play Beethoven yet."
"But she plays Chopin really well." Duan Ran's eyes also fell on the big screen.
The two of them looked at the big screen above their heads side by side.
Professional staff have already pushed a black triangle to the center of the stage.
The girl sat down, adjusted her posture and started playing.
The first movement, the fast Allegro.
After the girl raised her hand and struck the first set of chords, the violent chords seemed to shake the entire stage.
Immediately afterwards, he started running with both hands easily.
A clear melody poured out.
The strengths and weaknesses are clear, and the motivation for playing is clear.
The main and auxiliary music parts are neatly connected.
Handled cleanly and in place.
When the second theme repeatedly developed and reached a climax, it did not last long, and the music presentation ended briefly and calmly.
This leaves enough room for the magnificent expansion that follows.
However, the girl did not show strong enough momentum in her subsequent performance.
Perhaps the entire hall was too empty and the sound could not be transmitted, or perhaps I was too involved at the beginning and did not allocate my energy reasonably.
In a set of chord playing, the volume that should have been "very strong" at ff, under the girl's ten fingers, only sounded like "medium strong" at mf.
"Her key-grabbing strength seems to be no longer enough."
"Her breathing was not adjusted well from the beginning. The first chord was a major mistake. Although she adjusted it quickly, have you carefully observed her chest? It has been rising and falling violently."
"Um?"
"..."
A complete sonata contains at least three movements, each movement follows its own characteristics and standards, and it is this rigorous and complex structure that stimulates the performer's skills and musical expression to the extreme.
Therefore, for appreciators and critics, how to play a complete piano sonata has become a yardstick for measuring the level of a performer.
Endurance determines whether a performer can complete a full-length work at a high level.
The girl on the stage seemed to have exhausted all her strength. After the second movement ended, her whole state seemed very tired.
In the presto finale of the third movement, all the fantasy jumps that should be completely Beethoven-style turned into running water.
The performance ended in a dull tone.
There was warm applause from the audience, and the girl stood up and came to the center of the stage to bow.
I have to say that this was a wonderful performance, but it was also a battle for qualification for the 12-man finals.
"Actually, the response from the audience was pretty good."
"That seems to be the case, but look at the judges' bench."
