Under a round of applause, the curtain call sounded again in the golden hall.
"Next contestant"
"Group A No. 4"
"Qin Key"
“From Huaguoquan Province”
"Competition repertoire, Chopin etudes op. 25-11, Beethoven Sonata No. 23 in F minor"
"Designated piano, kawai"
A few seconds after the curtain call fell, a figure that was already familiar to many viewers appeared on the stage.
Everyone is curious about what kind of performance this young man who sometimes smiles, sometimes is silent, and sometimes is a gentleman on the stage will perform today.
Qin Jian did not participate in the topic, but he never left the topic of this competition.
From the wonderful clips of Jazz Winter's piano duel, to Beethoven's affectionate admiration in the preliminary round, and even the courage to use the ensemble competition scene as a stage for interaction with his female partner, every cut scene is about him calmly in the piano room.
I am being watched by the outside world every day.
After a gentle bow, Qin Jian came to the piano and sat down.
After adjusting the height of the piano bench, he took out the white handkerchief from the lining of the tuxedo, wiped his hands carefully, and then wiped the keyboard.
Everything is ready.
"Focus on guidance."
"open."
In an instant, all the sensory nerves seemed to be opened. At this moment, Qin Jian seemed to be able to feel the fine dust in the air.
"call."
He exhaled softly.
Just when everyone saw his heaving chest as if he was about to raise his arms high again, Qin Jian on the big screen just casually raised his right hand.
Slowly falling on the white gelatin-like keys.
A soft and graceful "dang" sounded, and then as the hand was raised and lowered, another "dang" was repeated.
Just like this, the same sound sounded one after another.
The third.
the fourth.
It's just that each new repeated sound will be one point weaker than the previous one.
So when the fifth note appeared in the single-note introduction melody, the ears off the stage seemed to have a slight hallucination.
The sound on the stage was too weak, as if just a little brighter light on the stage would have dispersed the sound.
But the golden stage light is just right, allowing the audience in every corner to see how the fingers on the keys move through the close-up shots on the big screen.
After a second of silence.
The right hand in the camera continued to move slightly in a slightly gathered hand shape.
At this moment, the single-note melody turned into a chord.
This time, everyone heard it.
The motivation of the winter wind is like a slight breeze blowing on the face.
Just when everyone is feeling the feeling of spring.
The chord gap stays in the key of A minor.
The color of A minor is gloomy, this gloominess is like the last moment before dawn.
"When..."
When... it circled and disappeared.
Just when everyone was still looking for the final sound, Qin Jian's left shoulder moved silently.
The next second.
Qin Jian's brows tightened, and his right hand suddenly bounced and glided down from the high range, while his left hand spanned three octaves.
The grainy and clear sound flow stirring in the air burst out from the piano soundboard with a forward momentum.
"call."
Hearing this, the ordinary audience in the audience breathed a sigh of relief.
It's the winter wind they're familiar with, the same as every version they've ever heard, rippling with passion, colorful and gorgeous.
However, experienced performers or some of the judges held different ideas.
What distinguishes each player is their playing style, and this applies to the vast majority of players or virtuosos.
Qin Jian has always had his own clear style, or in other words, he has his own performance emotions for each piece of music.
In his homework, he will design some small links for the performance, which are roughly like musical motives.
After connecting these small links through the entire musical vocabulary, reflect, consolidate and modify during practice.
Therefore, before a piece of work is completely formed, he will go through such repeated processes.
During the art examination stage, the winter wind in Qin Jian was blisteringly fast.
Use skilled fingers to shorten the duration between notes as much as possible, creating an exaggerated dazzling effect.
As time passed and Chopin became more proficient in the free speed of his hand positions, he gradually adjusted the angle of his fingers touching the keys to remove the aggressiveness of some fast passages.
After many exchanges with Duan Ran, Shen Qingci's interpretation of Chopin gave him some new hints.
For the time being, we can say that Qin Jian's Chopin is mixed, but it is undeniable that the music produced in this way will occasionally undergo some chemical reactions.
Just like now.
"Very clever, but not Chopin."
At the judges' table, the mustachioed man sitting in the middle slightly raised his beard.
"What is Chopin?"
On the side, the white-haired old man who heard the sound turned his eyes to his mustache, "No one can give the answer to this question."
.....
"Dang."
Following the last string of rapid sound waves, Qin Jian's hands flew across.
He closed his hands.
The performance of the etude ended.
"not bad."
He moved his wrist slightly.
After calming down his intense emotions, he took a deep breath and placed his hands on the keys again.
As the first theme of depression emerged, Qin Jian's facial expression underwent some subtle changes.
His left hand is slow, but the veins on the back of his hand make the black piano pattern a bit uneven.
Beethoven's works may be inherently uplifting.
The repressed desire for light and the strong struggle against the so-called fate always run through the core of this series of works.
In form, Enthusiasm, this first masterpiece, indeed expresses Beethoven's original spiritual will.
However, Beethoven's music is lonely.
After a weak vibrato, Qin Jian opened his hands. The first, third, and fifth fingers of his left hand traced the chords, and his right hand started running.
At this moment his expression changed again.
On the big screen, Qin Jian's eyes followed his left hand closely, his eyes blinked from time to time, and his head swayed slightly uncontrollably.
When critics talk about performers' works, they usually feel strange and ridiculous about their strange playing postures and expressions, and people are often more interested in the performers themselves at this time than in the performers' music.
performance status.
This is a natural perspective.
The physical expression of Qin Jian's performance in front of everyone has aroused the curiosity of the public.
Music connects the performer and the audience. Through subtle changes in the music, it is not difficult for the audience to find that the performer's state is also changing accordingly.
Qin Jian uses his own emotions to pull his body, and his body inadvertently drives the audience's emotions.
This is a wonderful relationship.
That's it.
As Qin Jian suddenly raised his arms, the stage was filled with people holding their breath.
