In the center of the stage, under the spotlight, Aso Natsuki covered her chest and gently bent down.
She was extremely relaxed at this moment.
She believed that tonight was the moment that would change her life.
Every transformation in life may require an opportunity of one kind or another.
Such as Goethe in The Sorrows of Young Werther, Beethoven and the Fifth Piano Concerto.
Natsuki Aso in K271?
maybe.
who knows.
...
In short, the girl's departure seemed to take away all the energy in the hall. After she stepped down, the entire queen seemed to be a little exhausted suddenly, and it was a mess without any excitement.
However, the game is not over yet.
After five hours of competition, only nine contestants finished playing.
moment
...
"The next contestant, Qin Jian, is from China. The entries are Liszt Paganini Etude No. 3, Mozart Piano Concerto No. 24 in C minor K491, Yanjing Philharmonic Orchestra,
Conducting Xia Dong, designated piano kawai."
As the curtain call fell again, the scene suddenly became quiet. At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that the game was not over yet.
Backstage in front of the porch.
Just when Qin Jian was about to push open the door and walk out.
"Wait a minute, Qin Jian."
This time it was Xia Dong who stopped the other party.
Qin Jian took back his right hand that was on the doorknob and turned around, "What's the matter, Xia Zhi?"
"Don't worry," Xia Dong said, turning to look at Chief Zhongti on one side and said repeatedly, "Hurry up, go around to the other side of the backstage and tell Erquan to let them go on stage first."
"Okay," Chief Zhongti quickly handed the instrument to the person next to him and ran around the backstage in a hurry.
"Xia Zhi, what are you doing?"
Qin Jian was a little confused.
"Don't you want to change the order of the tracks? In this way, the orchestra will appear first, and I will appear next. Don't worry, wait until I signal you to come out."
Xia Dong said, Chief Zhongti hurried back.
"Dong...Brother Dong, Er Quan agreed."
At this moment, the side glances across the stage suddenly opened, and the principal of the percussion group took the lead and strode out.
"Come on!!"
Xia Dong shouted suddenly, and then organized everyone. After all the members of the Yanjing Philharmonic Orchestra entered the venue, he turned to Qin Jian again and said: "Look at my baton."
As he spoke, he turned around and straightened his tie.
"come on."
Leaving behind two simple words, he opened the door and left.
Through the open backstage door, Xia Dong raised his baton towards the audience as soon as he came on stage.
Then a burst of violent applause came from the audience and across the stage.
Qin Jian's heart suddenly warmed up.
Xia Dong is building momentum for his appearance.
"Thanks."
Looking at the figure in front of the stage, Qin Jian said in his heart.
However, this moment was not suitable for overflowing emotions. Qin Jian shook his shoulders twice and blew a deep breath.
Finally, he adjusted his condition.
Just like Kolinzel's baton protecting Aso Natsuki on the stage, Xia Dong did the same at this time.
As the applause fell, the entire hall became quiet, as if waiting for something, and everyone's eyes turned to the entrance to the backstage.
At this moment, Xia Dong's baton flicked slightly in the air.
...
"come on."
Qin Jian licked the corners of his dry lips and stepped out of the backstage door.
...
The golden desk lamp shone on the young man's black satin tuxedo jacket, exuding a faint luster.
Changing from his previous appearance, Qin Jian tonight is less sophisticated and more sunny.
With the slightly raised corners of his mouth, standing in the center of the last scene on the stage, he indeed looked like the most dazzling one in the audience tonight.
"Well..."
"It's not bad, but everyone is watching..."
In a small corner of the auditorium, Duan Ran pouted lightly.
On the contestants' bench not far away from her, Aso Natsuki had just taken out a tissue from her bag. When she saw the golden figure on the stage, she bent down and her big eyes suddenly became dazzling.
Then he raised his hand to wipe away the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, then lifted up his long black hair and coiled it up again, revealing his white neck.
In the last row of the auditorium, Liao Linjun put his hands on his chest, looked at the stage from a distance, and couldn't help but smile.
"Ah."
Vaguely, the tall figure in front of the piano overlapped with the feeling of someone in her youth when she was young.
"It's really similar."
And when she wasn't aware of it, a gaze turned away from her face again.
Shen Qingci sighed and turned back to look at the young man on the stage, suddenly feeling envious.
"Youth."
.......
Qin Jian carefully wiped the keys again and put the handkerchief aside.
He raised his head to face the stage light and took one last look at Xia Dong. After the two looked at each other, he closed his eyes slightly.
Xia Dong took the signal from Qin Jian and raised the baton.
The next second.
He waved his right hand.
The string section played in unison.
K491.
First movement.
The first act has arrived.
Xia Dong conducted the orchestra, creating a pale confusion in the opening atmosphere of the music. The strings and woodwinds seemed to be searching for something in this mysterious and psychedelic atmosphere.
This kind of structural treatment attracted the attention of everyone in the auditorium, and little Linzel also looked at the figure on the podium with interest.
at this time.
Suddenly a fragile piano sound sneaked out.
Although fragile, it seems that it will be swallowed by the fog at any time.
But the full sense of transparency makes people feel at ease.
Everyone shifted their attention again.
In front of the piano, the young Chinese man moved.
His right hand beat softly.
Like protecting the birth of a new life.
Then, surrounded by the sound of the orchestra, clear and firm notes slowly rose from the piano one after another.
With just a few notes, the melody image becomes fuller.
With a little laying out, the spiritual world that fills the entire movement is filled up.
"The same key of C minor should have different colors."
This is a sentence that Mozart left in his last wish for Amadeus.
But for Qin Jian, this is no less than a motto.
At this moment, in the first movement that has been completely unfolded, Qin Jian's hands reveal his understanding of this section in C minor without any concealment.
Suddenly, the loose and confused music seemed to be organized, passing through layers of fog.
Dazzling and bright.
This first movement of k491 is something that no one often hears, including everyone in the judges' table, including Shen Qingci who once sat next to Qin Jian.
Apart from technique and understanding, Shen Qingci didn't give any hints on the color of the music that afternoon.
The well-known first movement should be an infinite search until the end of the movement.
At this moment, the unusually sober piano melody even strengthens the rhythm through constant speed changes.
This sounds like it goes against Mozart's creative will.
But Qin Jian knew.
Mozart was not a flowery boy as he seemed. No matter how soft and hazy his rhythm was, it could not change the most essential aspect of his music.
Just as he said himself.
"Players don't need to accept my whims, but please don't forget my spine."
