671. It's Done! Three Mentors and Apprentices Under the Jury
But she became even more confused: "Why is he doing this?"
Qin Jian could somewhat guess at this point. He felt that Zhao Yinuo's elimination should have stimulated Feng Ziyan. From Feng Ziyan's performance today, it was obvious that the opponent's attitude was different from the first round.
Qin Jian: "He wants to go down."
Duan Ran: "Ah?"
Qin Jian: "Although he still used the usual playing techniques, he basically followed the original score in terms of phrase processing today, especially in the long phrases. I have been paying attention to this. He wants to win this round."
Duan Ran looked at the little Brazilian lolita who had already taken the stage and lowered his voice again: "Then do you think his performance today can advance?"
Qin Jian sighed: "It's hard to say, because he is the first to appear in this round and there are no other contestants to compare with, so the judges can only give scores based on his performance in the first round and the four works just now."
After a pause, "I personally am not very optimistic about it. I didn't expect Feng Ziyan to enter this round, but he did. This means that his playing style in the first round impressed most of the judges. This is for sure."
"So if it were me, I would definitely continue the previous style. This is the safest way."
"His change may mean that from the perspective of the audience, the music is closer to Chopin's processing, but what he sacrificed is the special free speed and technical label he showed in the first round. I
I bet you that if you turned the entire competition upside down, you wouldn’t be able to find another professional jazz piano player.”
moment.
"Hey, it depends on how the judges score." As he said this, Qin Jian couldn't help but think of Robert's elimination.
The judges' appetites were indeed difficult for him to grasp. He thought that maybe Feng Ziyan's performance that had not impressed him could impress the judges again. Who knows.
The only thing he can be sure of about this round of competition is that there are only 20 promotion places, and he must win this city.
"Well, let's watch the game." Duan Ran responded and put his hand into Qin Jian's hand again.
...
The Brazilian Lolita continued her playing style in the first round.
Precise control and rigorous structure.
Because she chose two self-selected pieces, her performance was slightly longer.
In terms of repertoire arrangement, she chose Ballade No. 4 in F minor, Op. 47, as the opening, and ended with Polonaise in A flat major.
When she finished the last power chord, the audience burst into applause.
Judging from the atmosphere at the scene, she was better than Feng Ziyan. In the eyes of most players, the little Loli's performance in the second round was not bad.
However, in the opinion of some judges, her musical delivery was a bit slow, and the characteristics of Polish national music were not deeply reflected.
Although this is a common problem among German and Austrian players who play romantic music, they should conduct a thorough study of the works before practicing with awe.
This is not only the reason why they can display the outline of the musical score hundreds of years ago like a restored fossil, but it is also the reason why they are rigid.
Not only the little lolita, but also several players who have studied in Germany and Austria have this problem.
But that is not all. Fred, who is from Germany, and Adams, who is from Austria, will not give such an impression.
After Little Lolita, Fang Zongyao continued to surprise Qin Jian.
Fang Zongyao avoided almost all popular songs in this round of song selection, but every piece he chose ended with a very high degree of completion.
The emotional processing is objective and peaceful, and the music color is rich in changes.
Although he did not make any changes in his playing style compared to the first round, anyone who listened to the first game of the first round could clearly hear that the Brazilian Lolita was a bit stuck in the same place, but Fang Zongyao has already moved forward.
Take a step forward.
He deepened his performance in this round based on the first round, which is both rare and difficult.
So even though he didn't play any hit songs, he still received applause that lasted for a long time.
One and a half hours passed quickly as the three players performed.
Since the number of contestants in the second round was reduced by half, the schedule was relatively relaxed, and the judges got a short break after Fang Zongyao left the stage.
Then the host came up. This time he did not read out the information about the next contestant, but started chatting with the audience.
In order not to make the scene too boring, the organizers added a new link during this year's second round of competition - during the players' breaks, the host will take the stage to introduce some interesting competition data to the audience.
The so-called interesting game data sounded to Qin Jian as nothing more than advertising for advertising sponsors, but he could understand this.
After all, the cost of hosting such a competition was beyond his imagination.
The host introduced that according to statistics, in the first round of this Chopin Competition, 32 contestants used Steinway pianos, 34 contestants used Yamaha pianos, and 9 contestants chose Kawa? And Fazioli pianos were used by 32 contestants.
There are only 2 players.
Among the players who entered the second round, there were evenly divided between Steinway and Yamaha in the first round, with 18 players each. There were only 3 players who advanced using Kawa, and only 1 player who used Fazioli.
people.
The host laughed and said that according to this admission ratio, the contestants who currently use Steinway pianos have the highest promotion rate.
What's interesting is that the only player who chose Fazioli to advance has just finished the game, that is Fang Zongyao.
Fazioli's gorgeous figure will not appear in the entire second round of the competition. If Fang Zongyao loses? That means that Fazioli will also withdraw from the stage of this Chopin Competition early.
With a bell ringing? the game continues.
Next up is No. 29, a Japanese player who came to Australia.
...
There is a wonderful game going on here in Warsaw.
There are people on the other side of the world who are planning a new competition.
...
18:37 pm, Yanjing time? Piano Teaching and Research Office, Teaching Building.
There are two people sitting in the office at the moment.
Fu Hua was sitting at his desk, which was originally where Shen Qingci should have been.
"Then it's settled. Before you leave, send out this list of judges. As for the last seat, you can consider it again. Is my attitude Qin Jian or a student? Besides, his qualifications in the country are still too young? Let him do this.
Being a piano judge may not be a good thing for his future."
The two spent an afternoon finalizing the list of piano judges for the seventh Huayun Competition at the end of the year, and there is still a vacant domestic judge position.
Shen Qingci proposed to let Qin Jian supplement it, but Fu Hua also made his attitude clear.
"Then let me think about it again. I'm going to ask him by the way. Anyway, I don't care about things within the system. From a professional point of view, I think he is worthy of this position..."
Shen Qingci said as he put away the forms on the table, "I have a flight at 9pm, do you have any other instructions?"
moment.
"Take me to say hello to her."
Hearing this, Shen Qingci smiled and said, "I understand."
