The phrasing of the third movement of Passionate is difficult to play.
This is a consensus that everyone who has played this movement can reach.
Let's go back to an afternoon four days ago.
A certain corner of time.
At this time, Qin Jian was repeatedly practicing bars 20 to 28 of the third movement of the Passionate Sonata in the piano room.
Let’s look at measure 20 first. The bass is the beginning of the first phrase, and the first note of measure 28 is the end of the phrase.
But how to make the music sound like the end of the first audio and video in measure 28 became the beginning of Qin Jian's headache.
Beethoven's creation broke the textbook's mutual echo of the ending of each phrase in the musical section.
Here, in order to create a heavy and profound percussive sound effect in the momentum of the music, Uncle Bei used the ending sound of the previous sentence as the starting sound of the next sentence.
In other words, under his wild imagination, the beginning note of the next line in the score broke into the ending note of the previous line for no reason.
And this ubiquitous phrasing runs throughout the entire third movement.
After an afternoon and evening, Qin Jian couldn't count how many failed examples he had recorded on his phone.
And despite this repeated failure, he never gave up on experiencing the theme of passionate music in every note.
Finally, at a certain moment before nightfall, the music under his fingers suddenly merged into the battlefields in the music.
Every clause becomes particularly clear at that moment.
Every beginning is like the end of a true convergence, and every end is like the beginning of a new motivation.
Just like this moment.
Qin Jian fully coordinated his hands, and his mind was filled with the melody of falling down and standing up again.
The sound is endless.
"Maybe it's not over in the first place."
With the ruthless beating of densely packed hammers, the strings of the piano are getting hotter and hotter.
In the hall, the surging melody went higher and farther in its endless progress.
All eyes in the audience have been focused on this last moment of music.
Everyone is looking forward to the final explosion in front of the piano.
However.
At the end of the musical march, Qin Jian was trying his best to control his emotions.
He needs to maintain the last trace of calmness at this last moment.
The next second.
With the last motive of music.
Qin Jian raised his hands again.
whereabouts!!
The last few roaring chords at the end of the battlefield were violently smashed.
"When————"
"When——————"
"When——————————"
In the trembling air, the hot sound of the piano rushed in all directions like a shock wave.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
I don't know how many seconds have passed.
Until the hall became completely quiet.
The upright young man sat back on the big screen.
Gently raised his hand again.
whereabouts.
"When——"
A short but persevering chord was struck again.
Qin Jian raised his hand to hold the piano and walked to the center of the stage.
He gently bent down.
It ends where it started, leaving only the ending sound that still spreads in the hall.
"Wow~~~~~~"
"Wow~~~~~~"
Warm applause took over the lingering sound.
Under the applause, the music seemed to have stopped, but there was only a hot black piano left in the center of the stage.
Qin Jian, who returned to the backstage, breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't even notice the presence of the blond man wearing sunglasses beside him. He just shook off the sweat on his chin and handed the blue participation certificate back to the distracted staff member with a smile.
In the short corridor, he was thinking about whether his handling of the last note was correct.
He's not sure.
But he always knew that this piece represented the most fighting spirit in Beethoven's music.
It represents the endless life and it should not end at the most heroic place.
Its name is just passion.
"The next player is No. 3 in Group E, Kappei Yamaguchi..."

"but."
"it does not matter."
After passing through the door connecting the backstage to the auditorium, Qin Jian suddenly felt relaxed.
As his figure appeared, many people in the nearby auditorium looked over and cast many approving glances.
Qin Jian smiled and nodded to everyone and walked towards the contestants' bench.
On the way, a small hand suddenly stretched out and blocked his way.
Qin Jian looked down and saw a little boy stretching out his hand and looking at him expectantly.
The character who appeared to be the little boy's mother was embarrassed and said something in a language that Qin Jian didn't understand, probably to express some apology.
Qin Jian smiled, bent down and reached out to hold the little boy's hand, and said softly in English, "Hello."
This scene was also captured by Aso Natsuki. It was difficult for her to combine the gentle young man with the serious face on the stage. Her eyes finally followed the man's figure to the contestants' seat.
corner of.
...
"Not hot, not bad."
Qin Jian brushed Duan Ran's forehead again, then sat down and looked at the smiling girl beside him, "Uh, don't you want to say something?"
"What do you want to hear from me?"
"You want me to say, wow, you play really well, is that so?" Duan Ran said with a smile, imitating an exaggerated tone, his bright pupils shining brightly.
"To be honest, I don't know exactly what your performance was trying to express. I'm still thinking about how you handled the last chord."
"I even said that I think you are taking some risks. After all, this is still a competition. It's really hard to say how the jury will look at it."
Qin Jian nodded seriously, he understood what Duan Ran meant.
Duan Ran paused and continued: "But I like your enthusiasm in playing, although I haven't completely digested the doubts about the last movement."
"Thank you," Qin Jian nodded again, "Actually, about the last one -"
"No," Duan Ran hurriedly interrupted Qin Jian, "Don't tell me, I want to experience it myself."
"Okay," Qin Jian smiled helplessly, "Is your body okay? Do you want to go back?"
"OK, don't worry." Duan Ran smiled.
"Are you sure?" Qin Jian knew that Duan Ran wanted to see himself watching the finals.
at this time.
Suddenly there was a delicate cold feeling in his left hand.
"Watch the game."
Between the seats of the two people, Duan Ran held half of Qin Jian's palm, but his eyes turned to the stage, "Be serious."
Qin Jian was startled, then he couldn't help but curl his lips, and his eyes drifted towards the will-o'-the-wisp on the stage.
...
time gradually passes
The show ended as one contestant after another took the stage.
"The final is the final."
No matter from the selection of the players' repertoire or the depth of their works, they are completely different from the preliminary round.
And in comparison with the youth group, each player in the youth group has his own style of performance.
