659. Analysis and summary of Qin Jian on and off the field
The player Robert's appearance doesn't quite match that of a positive person.
Although he was wearing straight clothes and bowing to everyone with a smile on his face.
But a pair of triangular eyes and a too narrow forehead still make it impossible to change the discomfort of his image.
However, there are always many pianists with poor appearance. The outcome of the competition still depends on the piano level.
Robert opened with the Revolutionary Etude, which may have some special meaning for the Polish contestants.
Historically, many Polish players would start with a revolution in the first round of the Chopin Competition.
Qi Feng should be lucky that he was ranked behind Robert.
As soon as Robert started playing, he embodied the richer essence of the Polish piano school.
He is not intense, and at first glance it sounds like he is missing some of the shouting that is intended to be conveyed in the music, but his performance never loses passion.
The emotional expression of the melody throughout the piece is moderate. In terms of technique, Robert has gotten rid of the purely superficial enthusiasm of music. He does not pursue superficial effects, which makes the music statement appear much fuller and more three-dimensional.
In this regard, Qi Feng is inferior.
As a performer of the Polish school, Robert's musical structure and layout in the following three pieces all showed a strict and reasonable style in Polish music.
There is no trace of Eastern aesthetics behind Qi Feng's performance.
After finishing the four pieces of music smoothly, Robert stood up and bowed.
This time, many in the audience had some changes in his appearance.
It must be said that his first-hand revolution gave him a good start in the first round. In addition, he was the first Polish player to appear. With the home advantage, he received cheers other than applause.
The judges communicated and determined Robert's score for this round, but one Polish judge did not write anything.
Judges are not allowed to give points to their students. This is the rule of the Chopin Competition.
As the scene gradually became quiet, a corner of the auditorium on the second floor.
"Teacher Qin, he will be next."
He Jing's voice was not loud, Qin Gang could hear it clearly.
"It makes people really nervous." Qin Gang muttered quietly as he looked at the stage, his hands between his knees and he kept rubbing them.
This time Fang Xuehua didn't criticize her husband for being useless because she was also a little nervous.
In fact, she didn't understand music at all, and she felt that the players just played were like musicians.
As the host appeared on the stage again, He Jing's right hand hidden under the seat was also clenched.
...
In a lounge backstage, two fists, one large and one small, gently bumped together again.
This is a small ritual before going on stage.
"Come on, Teacher Qin."
"mua~"
...
...
"The next player is player No. 57 from China, Qin Jian."
"Born on February 22, 1996 in Huaguoquan Province, he is currently studying in the first year of undergraduate studies at the Huaguo Conservatory of Music. He studied under Liao Linjun, Shen Qingci, and He Jing. His first piano teacher was his father. He held a competition in Huaguo

His first solo Mozart album. At the beginning of this year, he represented the Chinese Musicians Association at the Rachmaninov Works Seminar held in Russia and performed on stage as a guest. His Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 3
It received wide acclaim from industry insiders at the 24th Bergen International Music Festival."
"His repertoire for this round of competition includes op10.no12 Etude in C minor, op25.no1 Etude in A flat major, op27.no1 Nocturne in C sharp minor, and Op.20 Scherzo in B minor."
"He'll be using a Steinway piano."
This slightly longer personal introduction is written by the competition based on the personal information of the contestants. Each contestant has one, and it varies in length.
At the same time, English subtitles for this set of introductions will also appear on the TV screens outside the venue and in the live broadcast room.
Qin Gang couldn't understand English, but He Jing could hear it clearly.
Most of the players on the bench also understood it. Perhaps this is another reason why they appeared in this group of games today.
Some of them were a little surprised. Qin Jian's repertoire design broke the rules.
Every contestant knows that no matter what, op25.no1 should not appear at the Chopin Competition, and it seems a bit too early for the Scherzo No. 1 in B minor to appear in the first round.
They each thought about it and were curious.
waiting.
As the host left, two staff members replaced the Yamah piano on the stage and put it on a Steinway.
moment.
Qin Jian's figure appeared from the rotating ascending stairs on the side of the stage.
He walked onto the stage calmly, still wearing the same black dress with white lining.
It's just that the whole reminder is a bit thinner than before, and the broken hair on the forehead is also longer.
The upright young man came to the piano and bowed lightly to the audience.
His bowing movements were not large, his expression was indifferent, neither humble nor arrogant, nor was he energetic.
Then he sat down, methodically took out a white square towel and carefully wiped the 88 keys.
During the wiping process, Qin Jian was also constantly adjusting his inner state.
This is the first time he has stepped onto the public stage after a year and a half absence.
Select music, practice, polish, choose piano, etc.
For this game, he made all the preparations he could think of.
Sitting here today, he is not nervous, nor does he look back at his previous achievements.
Just treat it as a new beginning, and he told himself, "I'm ready."
He had a hunch that this Chopin Competition should be the last time he participated in the competition in his life.
Then the next step is to enjoy the competition stage again.
Gradually, he felt a feeling that he had not seen for a long time emerge in his heart.
Just like the feeling when he first appeared on the stage of Huayun Competition, he was a little nervous and a little excited.
His throat quivered, 'Very good.'
...
The audience in the audience and on the screen didn't know why the young man in front of the piano suddenly smiled while wiping the piano.
After wiping the last piano key, he neatly folded the handkerchief and put it aside.
The next second.
He raised his hands.
At this moment, everyone was staring closely at his hands.
But just when everyone thought Qin Jian was about to suddenly fall asleep, he suddenly put his hand down.
This made everyone feel relieved in an instant.
However, at this moment, except for a few people in the judges' table, no one expected that Qin Jian's hands that were halfway down would suddenly rise into the air and strike the keys with lightning speed and ferocity.
"Dang!!!————"
The dissonant dominant ninth chord erupted from the piano board as Steinway screamed in pain!
One blow broke through everyone's psychological defenses!
Then the fast sixteenth notes were planted in everyone's heart like weeds, spreading like a torrent.
Branjano's scalp felt numb for a while, and he looked at the stage with trembling eyes.
This scene.
He had sat in the players' box and received coaching fifteen years ago.
