585. Slippers if you ride a horse and fly to the sea
Three hours later, Duan Ran was coaxed to sleep by Qin Jian.
He was already a little sleepy, but he had to wait for He Jing's results.
At a quarter past twelve o'clock in the morning, Bergen time, Qin Jian finally received the news from He Jingde.
Sister: It’s over
let it go: how about
Sister: The reaction from the audience was pretty good, I think it’s okay too
Let it go: That’s OK!
Sister: Well, it’s finally over and I can plan a vacation.
Let it go: Sister, are you going back to China for the holidays?
...
The two siblings were chatting about relaxed and comfortable topics, but at this time, the competition was still going on on the stage of the New York Philharmonic Hall.
The Mozart K271 played by the contestant from the University of Frankfurt who appeared immediately after He Jing did not seem to cause any response. After his piece ended, there were still people in the audience discussing the Prokofiev's Second Piano Concerto played by the previous contestant.
Play area.
He Jing's name is unfamiliar to most of today's viewers, and she should be the most transparent among all the finalists.
But just now, everyone remembered her through her second piece of popular music.
Even if some people still can't remember her name, when they see her again, someone will definitely say, 'Hey, the girl in the red dress who plays Prokofiev.'
The amazing performers and the stunning Puerto II Concerto brought the competition to a climax, so after the climax, the Frankfurt boy was indeed a little unlucky, and he was catching up with the period of fatigue after the excitement of the scene. Moreover, his Mozart was indeed
There isn't much that impresses people.
After the Frankfurt boy left the stage, the host's voice sounded again.
When the name 'rachel' rang out, cheers erupted from the audience.
Rachel.
The proud daughter of the piano department at Juilliard School of Music, she is also what Qin Jian calls the purple-eyed ‘Matilda.’
It can be seen from the atmosphere at the scene that she must have a lot of fans.
moment.
She walked to the piano and sat down, and the scene became quiet.
She was the first contestant to bring Chopin into the finals, and the piece she played was Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 1.
Piano Concerto in E minor.
This is the piece that was favored by 90% of the contestants among the two pieces chosen in the Chopin final.
When the band's intro started, some people were already speculating whether Rachel would choose this song for the final piece of this year's Chopin Competition.
However, the answer to this question can only be revealed in the future.
After Rachel's performance ended, the audience gave a unanimous round of applause. This applause did not bring down the stage, but it gave enough psychological pressure to the next contestant.
Fang Zongyao, who was about to appear next, was under great pressure at this time. He listened to Rachel's performance throughout the whole process, and the piece he prepared was also Chopin's No. 1 Piano Association.
...
...
At 3 a.m. Bergen time, the game in New York ended.
After learning that the competition results were announced only four days later, Qin Jian was speechless.
After saying good night to He Jing, he took the time to go to bed.
...
Qin Jian spent the next three days falling in love with Little Brown every day. Under the guidance of the old bartender over the past few days, he had almost found a harmonious way of getting along with Little Brown.
"For a male player, every fortepiano is a woman exuding unique charm. When you understand her needs, you only need to make the actions she expects, and she will give you what you want.
Everything.” —Norwegian bartender
then.
After getting rid of all modern, secular and labeled performance formats, Qin Jian also found his voice as he wished.
It was a very unique sound, retro and clean, without a trace of sloppy clarity.
On the evening of the third day, Qin Jian invited Liao Linjun, the old bartender and the old Assad to listen to all three movements of his bandless version of k491.
After the performance, the three of them gave unanimous praise, especially the old bartender who patted Qin Jian on the shoulder happily.
“Well done, Jian.”
In order to celebrate the success of the second stage, Qin Jian and a few people went to the small town's lounge that night. This was his first time visiting a small town's lounge after moving into the town.
The only regret was that he didn't see Ido the whole day.
Later, after drinking a lot of wine, old Assad told everyone that Ido's condition was not very good these two days.
After hearing this, Liao Linjun and the old bartender both sighed, obviously they had experienced something.
Although Qin Jian could think of something from a certain scene in the bathroom, he had no idea about the whole incident.
For example, how did Ido become like this? He really couldn't believe that a person could be born like this.
After old Assad's narration, Qin Jian learned the truth.
The story is simple and not complicated.
The original Ido was a cheerful and sunny boy. Like Qin Jian, he loved music. He showed talent in piano playing far beyond his peers since he was a child. After being discovered by old Assad, he followed him.
De began his real piano learning career.
The relationship between the two is like Natsuki and Nobuyuki Totsui.
Ido's family background is quite good in the local area. He was born in an intellectual family and has a cute little sister.
Just one air raid and everything changed.
When old Assad recalled this period, cheerful folk dance music was still playing in the lounge.
He recalled, “It was about four o’clock in the afternoon, and I was in class, and then I heard a siren sounding in the center of the city. The students were panicked, and then there was a series of explosions, and the whole classroom was shaking violently.
Trembling, the students ran frantically toward the door. I was about to tell everyone to stay put and not run around when there was another series of explosions. I don’t remember what happened next.”
"When I woke up, I was already in a nearby hospital. When I learned that the most severely damaged area was near Ido, I rushed out of the ward, but I walked all over the street and was nowhere to be found.
I found Ido’s home, which was already in ruins.”
Old Assad looked very calm when he told the story, but at that moment, Qin Jian could feel the sadness and helplessness under this calmness.
"At that time, I was like crazy, working hard with everyone in the ruins to find the living people."
"I found Ido at another nearby hospital in the evening. He had just undergone amputation surgery, and he was the only one left in the family."
"After that time, he became what he is today, talking like crazy, silent, like a mental patient, except when he plays the piano, he looks like a normal young man."
"In the past two days, he has been hiding under the bed and not coming out."
The story is simple and not complicated.
It was not much different from Qin Jian's imagination, but when he really heard all this, he remained silent.
That night, he and the old bartender drank a lot with old Assad.
When he left the bar in the evening, Qin Jian found out that old Assad was a believer. The old bartender said that he never drank when he was in college.
Day four.
That is today.
When Qin Jian woke up early in the morning, he was still thinking about what old Assad said last night and how he could help Ido. However, just after he left the hut and heard the sound of piano coming from the west, he put down his mind again.
It's Ido's Winter Wind Etude.
"Still a little worse than Duan Ran, but much better than me."
Feeling a little better, Qin Jian came to the piano room to prepare for a new day of practice.
Before warming up, he sent two messages to Duan Ran.
Let it go: Starting today I will enter the third phase of my attempts
