Chapter 189 Let's give it a try! The competition scene of the youth group D
Could it be bad?
Qin Jian also felt very good at this moment.
With the two of them currently playing legato with four hands, he felt that it was almost time to start thinking about k448's two-piano works.
Just an assumption.
‘If we successfully win the Asian Division, we will get a ticket to the Vienna Finals’
Even according to the experience imparted by Old Porter, 'Contest players often perform their best repertoire over and over again in the competition. As long as the competition system allows, they will not give up the safest way to ensure ranking.'
Qin Jian half agrees with this, but if possible, he is not willing to give up the opportunity to present some new works to the competition.
According to Liao Linjun, the finals will still be played in two rounds, and contestants can choose to use the songs they played before.
But by that time, his opponent will no longer be his current opponent.
At that time, I will definitely have to come up with more amazing works.
Moreover, k448 also involves the opening of the next chapter of Amadeus.
Qin Jian hopes to unlock the next chapter before going to Vienna.
Of course, this is just a simple wish.
"Then let's discuss something."
After a moment of silence, Qin Jian spoke.
"Ah?" Duan Ran said this time, "Say."
"Let's practice another ensemble piece." Qin Jian tentatively said.
"What are you practicing for?" Duan Ran turned his head.
"I think k488 is very good."
"K448?"
"right."
Qin Jian raised his hand and slowly played a three-chord arpeggio on the piano, his serious eyes swinging back and forth along with the rising and falling keys.
"If we win in the Asian division, I hope we can produce better works in Vienna. I didn't think so before, but now I think we can give it a try."
"Going to the arena in Vienna?"
Duan Ran murmured, his eyes briefly flashed with confusion.
She had never considered this issue, and even coming to Tokyo to participate in the competition was unexpected.
Piano has never been a competition for her.
but.
'Let's go to Vienna together?'
It sounds like something worth looking forward to.
And there seems to be a little story hidden about the piece k448.
Unconsciously, Duan Ran's eyes lit up and he bit his lower lip subconsciously.
Then he stretched out his small fist.
"Then give it a try!"
"make a deal."
The two fists, one big and one small, collided lightly on the keys again.
"Starting from tomorrow, we will set aside four hours a day to practice. I have prepared the score, with all the precautions marked on it. It is based on the versions of Bolenboim and Argerich. You play one
, I’ll play the second part, how about it?”
Following the sudden sound in his ear, Duan Ran glanced at Qin Jian suspiciously, "Why does it sound like it was planned for a long time?"
"This is not important."
Qin Jian looked at his phone while typing, "Let's continue practicing. We'll set off in two hours."
"good."
Thirty seconds later, the piano sounded again.
Under the bright music.
Two people, four hands, the trend of music becomes more and more harmonious.
...
14:27.
Tokyo Bunka Concert Hall.
Half of the second day's schedule is over, and the Group D competition of the Junior Professional Group is about to begin.
Although there were no players from Japan in Group D, the hall was still full of people at this time.
Many of them came for Li Xianlong, the fourth player in Group D.
As a young pianist who has been internationally recognized to participate in such a national competition, his performance has naturally attracted the attention of the media industry.
As the bell rang, the game began.
Under the applause of the audience, the first contestant was a teenager from Thailand.
His etude repertoire is Liszt's Transcendental Etude No. 12, Chasing the Snow.
In terms of difficulty, there is no need to say much. The coordination of the left and right hands, the strength control of the chromatic scale, the precision and intensity control of the big jump, and even the abundant emotions and artistic conception in the music all test the player's control ability.
"What do you think of his playing of this piece?"
In a corner of the sixth row of the auditorium, Qin Jian crossed his legs and asked Duan Ran next to him.
"The power difference is too big." Duan Ran said casually.
The simple five-word answer seemed to declare the fate of this piece, and then a stop came from the judges' table.
As the judges' table stopped, the boy wiped the sweat from his forehead and started playing the sonata.
As if affected by being stopped in advance, the boy's subsequent performance became even more unstable. Less than halfway through the first movement of Beethoven's Tempest Sonata, it seemed that he could no longer continue.
After playing a chord, the boy stopped his hand and ended the performance on his own, bowed apologetically amidst the uproar, and then left the stage.
"Why."
A sigh.
As the Thai boy left, six or seven Southeast Asian contestants took the stage one after another. Among them, there are some whose performances are worthy of recognition in Qin Jian's opinion, and from the average level, the performance of these people will not be weaker than that of the Huayun Competition.
of the top thirty.
But even so, no one could complete their work before the judges’ ‘stop’.
"The next contestant, No. 9 in Group D, Fang Zongyao, is from Yanjing, China. The entries are Chopin Etude Op. 10-4, Beethoven Sonata No. 9, designated piano."
As the blunt Chinese announcement sounded, Qin Jian clapped his hands vigorously, with a look of great interest on his face.
"Are you two familiar?" Duan Ran was a little surprised by Qin Jian's reaction.
Qin Jian clapped his hands, looked at the calm steps on the stage, and smiled to himself: "I haven't said anything yet."
"Okay." As he said that, Duan Ran also clapped his hands a few times.
on the stage.
Fang Zongyao's black dress still gives people a poetic and picturesque feeling.
With his well-designed hairstyle and handsome appearance, he is indeed a few steps ahead of the previous contestants in terms of appearance.
After simply adjusting his sitting posture, Fang Zongyao raised his head slightly and placed his arms on the piano.
The next second.
A dense melody suddenly appeared like a rapid stream of clear water.
Clear, smooth, accented.
In just two sections, the strict sense of high-end fell into every corner of the audience.
“Finally heard a decent fourth song”
The voice of the jury.
According to the official statistics of all piano competitions on the first day, whether in the professional group or the amateur group, Op10-4 has the highest appearance rate as the preliminary etude, accounting for 16.76% of the total.
The highest appearance rate also means the most brutal competitiveness.
The selection of songs for competitions has always been strategic.
Fang Zongyao has not played Chopin's etudes in the Huayun Competition, but this does not mean that he does not like Chopin.
On the contrary, each of Chopin's twenty-seven etudes, including his posthumous works, was particularly familiar to him.
Besides, this time there was no excessive interference. He wanted to play what he liked.
"when-!"
"锵————!!"
"when----!!!"
Fang Zongyao's torrent is to move forward courageously without any delay.
As the hands were fixed on the big screen, the hall fell silent.
The audience in the audience was in an uproar.
【00:01:56】
The time shown above is exactly the time used by Fang Zongyao to play Torrent.
