Duan Ran played four pieces in succession, and finally ended with Fantasia in F minor.
Qin Jian accurately pressed the recording end button on the next beat after the music ended.
Wait until the piano room is completely quiet.
Qin Jian picked up the phone and said: "You started playing the first song at the 10th second, and it is now 24 minutes and 54 seconds."
"That is to say, you played the four songs in the first round for a total of 24 minutes and 44 seconds. I think this time is just right. Come back and listen to it yourself, grasp the overall sense of time, and control it at this time on the field.
about."
Duan Ran nodded, "Okay, what about the others?"
Qin Jian put down his mobile phone and continued: "Did you play the black keys a little faster? It feels like it's almost 1 minute and 38 seconds, and when you played the first two sets of triplets in the second section at the beginning,
Aren’t your wrists still loosened?”
Duan Ran hummed: "I'm not used to the touch of the keys on this piano. I had this problem yesterday as well. The keys were a little hard. But you're right. After playing the first song just now, I entered the second song.
I really hadn’t adjusted my wrist yet.”
As Duan Ran spoke, Qin Jian picked up the notebook and pen on the table and started writing, muttering, "If this were a real competition, wouldn't it be overturned? You must pay attention.
Pay attention, pay attention, do you hear me?"
Mr. Roast Duck started his recording again. Looking at this scene, Duan Ran's mind instantly returned to the Yuefu Piano Store, a time that he couldn't help but be happy when he recalled it.
The two of them are so silly, it's funny just thinking about it.
But on the surface, she still has to show her serious attitude.
"I heard it! This little problem will never happen again," Duan Ran muttered in a low voice. In fact, she knew it was not the piano's fault, and then asked, "What about the other songs?"
Qin Jian replied while writing: "Fantasia in F minor is very good, not as soft as the one you played. I guess Argerich, Branjano, Deng Taishan and that one, what is the name of that curly-haired judge?"
Wait, what, Mikuli! Yes, the four of them should like your handling style of this piece of work very much."
He has studied the playing habits of all the judges, so Qin Jian can probably guess the judges' preferences.
"There are no other questions for now."
Qin Jian put down the pen after recording several questions Duan Ran had just asked, raised his head and said: "Let's take a rest, adjust the state and start the next round."
"Let's get started." Duan Ran said and raised his hand.
Seeing that Duan Ran was about to start, Qin Jian frowned and interrupted her, "Don't worry."
Duan Ran turned back to look at him in confusion.
Qin Jian said in a deep voice: "What you need to do now is not just to complete a round of competition repertoire, well - you have to open your imagination and imagine such a scenario."
Duan Ran: "Ah?"
Qin Jian sorted it out and then said: "You have to imagine that you passed the first round of performance just now and passed the first round of competition smoothly. At this time, 50 people have left the field and only 30 people are left.
"
"If you still want to go to the Western Round, then what kind of mentality should you have to face the next performance."
As expected, Qin Jian's words made Duan Ran lower his raised hands again.
Qin Jian stopped talking.
moment.
Duan Ran felt it according to the scene designed by Qin Jian. He didn't expect that he actually had some emotional changes for a while. She unconsciously became a little excited.
After a while, she exhaled deeply, as if she had sent away all her mental activities, and her whole body seemed to calm down.
She turned around and gave Qin Jian an affirmative look.
Qin Jian raised his hand to say OK and pressed the recording button on his phone again.
5 seconds later.
In front of the piano, Duan Ran raised his hand.
Both of them dropped their fingers.
The Scherzo in C sharp minor plays.
Compared to the performance of the first round of music, Ran clearly entered a different state during this period.
Not only does the person's expression become more focused when opened from the side, but the changes in tone in the air also present a richer feeling.
Qin Jian kept nodding his head while listening, 'It seems that my reminder is still effective.'
'Before a major competition is approaching, try your best to imagine that you are in the middle of the competition during practice. This will effectively reduce the risk of making low-level mistakes during the competition.'
This method was taught by the old bartender last month, and similar suggestions were also given to Qin Jian by Liao Linjun and Shen Qingci, but Qin Jian's experience at that time was not as profound as he is now.
The old bartender told Qin Jian that no one in the game would have good luck all the time.
Necessary psychological preparation before a game is not just a simple 'psychological preparation', but must be put into action to make this kind of preparation.
One night at the beach.
Old bartender: "Most of the contestants don't realize they are participating in a competition until they stand on the field."
These words hardly required Qin Jian to think carefully. He immediately substituted all his previous mental activities.
Later, after calming down, he also reflected on this statement.
He also tried not to think about the game before he went on stage, and then when he actually went on stage, he would feel a sudden sense of excitement facing the audience and the stage lights. This sense of excitement gave him a certain sense of presence.
addition.
Indeed.
But it is no longer what it used to be, and the Chopin Competition is not a competition comparable to any previous competition.
He had to admit that some risky speculative psychology should not appear in him and Duan Ran anymore.
Just like Duan Ran's black key overturned in the second verse, Qin Jian never imagined that the other party would make such a low-level mistake here.
He didn't dare to say it just now. He wanted to say that it was not a piano problem at all. In Qin Jian's eyes, based on the level of Duan Ran's Liszt concert, she was definitely considered a young performer.
But won’t a young performer make stupid mistakes?
Duan Ran answered this question with facts. Of course, maybe her right hand was a little tired?
Qin Jian doesn't think so, because his mental attitude and nervousness about playing are not enough.
...
When Qin Jian presses the recording button again.
The time stopped at 42 minutes and 31 seconds.
The performance of the "Second Round" of Xiao Pang's section was truly wonderful, and both the ballad and the waltz showed excellent performance.
After thinking about it, Qin Jian felt scared for a while.
If Duan Ran really missed out on promotion due to a small mistake in the first round of Black Key, it would really not be a regrettable issue.
From this question, he also looked at the pen competition itself again, and he was somewhat grateful that they had formulated this training plan.
Looking at all previous Chopin Competitions, it seems that those insignificant ‘little mistakes’ are the ultimate boss that determines the final outcome.
Who can say that those talented performers who leave with regrets are all because of bad luck?
"call--"
In front of the piano, Duan Ran let out a long breath.
She played these five pieces heartily.
Unconsciously, the mentality that seemed to have been scattered for two days was reunited.
"I want to continue."
Duan Ran still said she wanted to start again directly.
Feeling the momentum in front of the piano, Qin Jian also noticed something unusual.
