673. The Battle of the Mountains is about to Begin!
Li Xianlong's performance today was perfect, exceeding half of the judges' expectations.
Not only the judges' bench, but everyone in the contestants' bench was also surprised by Li Xianlong's performance.
Qin Jian's understanding of Li Xianlong's performance has always been limited to the label of "technical flow with empty content".
Through this scene, he had to raise the opponent's danger level to a new level in his mind.
With the blessing of music, the on-site effects that skilled players can produce are very impressive at the competition site.
Especially in competitions, Qin Jian has experience in this.
Coupled with his stable performance in the first round, he predicted that *** would almost lock in the qualifying position in this group.
After Li Xianlong.
Liang Kecheng appears.
Liang Kecheng's performance today was more impressive than in the first round. The player should have reflected after the first round.
All the artificial details in the first round disappeared in this round. This did not make his partial details disappear in the flowing performance, but the weakened expression became more obvious in the musical tension.
His last self-selected piece was a mazurka, which is a relatively rare choice.
A complete set of mazurkas is a compulsory selection for the third round, so most contestants will not choose a single mazurka among the optional repertoire in the second round.
However, Liang Kecheng's romantic playing technique still left a deep impression on people.
This time he proved his status as a famous pianist.
The Hungarian guy who played last did not perform as well as in the first round. Like Guabi, he seemed a little nervous. From the opening polonaise, you could hear his unconfidence with his fingers dropped.
Not surprisingly, he should have stopped in this round.
After all five people's performances were over, the judges recorded the afternoon's scores in their own folders, and then the notary took them all away.
The audience left, and the first day of the second round ended.
Outside the gate of the concert hall after the game, the electronic screen in the lobby on the first floor scrolled with the preview of tomorrow morning's game.
The personal information pictures of the five male contestants were enlarged in turn on the left side of the screen.
The game that will be played tomorrow morning is also full of highlights.
Martinov from Macedonia and Ido from Syria both performed extremely well in the first round. Qin Jian from China made the fans full of expectations.
After the first round of competition, Qin Jian has been predicted by the outside world to be one of the candidates for the gold medal of this Chopin Competition.
What repertoire will he perform tomorrow?
This issue has become a hot topic of discussion among many Warsaw citizens and netizens.
And tomorrow morning, the answer will be revealed.
...
After leaving the concert hall, Qin Jian and his wife returned to the hotel first.
"I want to touch Qin. Are you hungry?"
After listening to the game for a day, Qin Jian's hands were extremely itchy.
Duan Ran didn't even take off his shoes: "I'm not hungry, let's go now, go early and come back early."
The two then left the room.
...
Fifteen minutes later, they arrived at the practice location provided by the organizer.
There is a piano room building on a university campus with two floors. At the door of the building is a huge English placard [The 17th Chopin Piano Competition...], and there are competition staff at the door as a guide.
Walking into the Qinfang Building, a variety of Chopin's works are intertwined in the corridor.
"Are you practicing?"
"I will accompany you today, and you will accompany me tomorrow."
"good."
After showing their player IDs respectively, the two successfully opened a piano room on the second floor.
Sitting in front of the upright piano, Qin Jian played a set of arpeggios.
"Not bad, I'm starting."
"come on!"
For the next time, Qin Jian sat in front of the piano, sometimes playing it again, sometimes falling into thinking.
He doesn't know how to play a certain part, but he will play the entire piece as long as he raises his hand.
Duan Ran sat quietly in the corner holding her bag and reading music scores. If Qin Jian took the initiative to discuss some issues with her, she would talk. At other times, she was like the background of the piano room.
Two hours passed quickly. Of all the four pieces played tomorrow, except for the ballad, Qin Jian only played them once.
Only the first ballad he played three times, and every detail was different.
Duan Ran could hear this clearly in the corner, and she didn't ask anything.
She knew Qin Jian was making final adjustments.
People around her felt that Qin Jian was confident of victory, but she knew that Qin Jian had been in a state of tension these past two days.
He would hum the melody of the game in the bathroom, and would unconsciously dance his fingers on the table while eating? He would always look like he was deeply involved in the game.
Is he under pressure? Duan Ran knows.
As her? She would naturally not say loudly to the other party, 'Don't be nervous!' or 'Don't think too much? Just relax.'
She knows that quiet company and a little gentle expression are what Qin Jian needs most.
...
Finished playing the first ballad for the fourth time? Qin Jian took out a handkerchief and wiped the keyboard again.
"Let's go? Let's go eat."
When Duan Ran heard the sound, his eyes stopped at the 132nd measure of Op.44, then he closed the music score and raised his head.
Seeing Qin Jian's much more relaxed look, she chuckled: "Okay~"
Is Qin Jian satisfied with his last performance? He has found his form.
The two left the piano room.
At this time, the lights on the campus were just beginning to turn on? It felt very special for the two of them to walk arm in arm on campus.
"Do you want to be my classmate?"
"That sounds so strange."
"Oh, I'm just asking if you want it? You just have to answer the question."
"Think about it."
“So perfunctory~”
"No! I think it's good to be classmates? We can also eat in the cafeteria together."
"Tsk, tsk, look at your worthlessness!"
"That's what my mom always says about my dad."
"Ah? It's true, haha, Aunt Fang looks so powerful."
"....Where is the point?"
"You said - what if? I mean what if, if you take me to see my uncle and aunt, what do I need to prepare?"
"What should I prepare if you take me to see your mother?"
"I asked first!"
"I think she would appreciate me."
"Hahaha? Shameless, just say it quickly."
"You speak first."
"You said it or not~~"
"Stop it, I said."
...
...
Said, Shen Qingci is still on the plane, and Liao Linjun has already arrived in Warsaw.
Accompanying her were the old bartender and the old Harlem couple.
Not long after Qin Jian and his wife returned to the hotel, they received a call from Liao Linjun that he had arrived in Warsaw.
Now more than half of my people are here.
Before going to bed, he talked on the phone with He Jing. The two siblings chatted for a long time on the phone.
Duan Ran snuggled next to Qin Jian and played with her mobile phone. From time to time, she could hear laughter on the other end of the phone.
I don't feel it tastes good at all.
After Qin Jian hung up the phone, Duan Ran also put down the phone obediently.
