At the beginning of this piece with a complex structure, Ido started with a brilliant timbre that he had never shown on the stage before, playing the introduction part with ripples of movement that spread outward.
The stage seemed to be lit up by the sound of the piano, and the quiet and smooth melody made people inadvertently intoxicated.
The contrast between the performance style of the first three works was so great that most people at the scene did not expect it.
For the theme display after the introduction, Ido follows the articulation method of the introduction paragraph to decorate, develop, and reproduce from bars 5 to 12.
The music developed to 53 bars in a distant artistic conception, and he completed the first three-section structure.
Immediately afterwards, two consecutive connecting sentences change the development motivation of the melody.
Ido's expression changed accordingly, and his right hand was slightly raised.
The accent of the melody quietly fell on the second beat of each measure, and there was a faint trace of mazurka on the stage.
The music comes alive, and in the gentle mood, every note seems to dance happily.
The piano soundboard is like a stage for the notes.
Bright and pure.
And then fell in the living wave.
Before falling, Ido carefully put away the last little note.
During a breath, he moved his buttocks as if to sit up straighter.
This scene made the audience worried about him. They were worried that Ido would accidentally lose focus while laughing.
Fortunately, Ido only shook slightly.
The next second.
I saw Ido raising his hands high.
Drop the arm!
The second part belongs to Polonaise.
A solemn, aristocratic melody unfolds.
"Dang-dang! Dang-dang! Dang-dang!"
The most glorious rhythm of the Polonaise is neat and proud under Ido's powerful performance!
At this moment he seemed to have grasped the pulse of this piece.
He controlled the progress of the music with a swaying body, and the single melody in his right hand was presented with full spirit.
There is no concise sadness or joy, the music is as pure and gorgeous as a flawless diamond.
At this time, people cannot help but guess the inner activities of the one-legged Syrian young man who is playing on the stage.
His musical ideas develop kaleidoscopically wherever he modulates the key.
Perform on stage and listen off stage.
It took fifteen minutes to see the end.
Sweat dripped down Ido's temples, but on the contrary, the music was on an upward trend that was out of control!
The gorgeous triplets completely break free from the shackles of the piano soundboard!
Ido seemed to have escaped from something at this moment, his eyes staring at the hands jumping on the keyboard.
He stepped hard on the pedal with one foot.
He needs more power!
At the last moment, all the strength of his upper body was transferred to his arms.
The whole person is tilted.
fall!
"Dang Dang Dang!"
"When—!"
“When——————!!”
“Wow————————————————”
The vigorous blow that ended the chord was replaced by thunderous applause from the audience in the last 0.1 seconds.
Backstage in front of the big screen.
Old Assad looked at the screen excitedly, his clenched fists waving wildly in front of his chest.
Qin Jian and the two men on the side could understand the old Assad's mood at this moment. Ido's performance today was as perfect as in the first round.
The last song is even more impeccable.
They both also clapped.
The three of them were watching the screen waiting for Ido to end.
When Ido stopped his hand in front of the piano, his body suddenly swayed, as if he had lost his balance. The piano stool suddenly moved back two inches under the pressure of his left hip, which made his center of gravity even more unstable.
Firestone and electricity!
His body fell forward uncontrollably
This scene happened in the second second after the whole song ended. It was so fast that the three people in front of the screen had no time to react immediately and could only let their pupils dilate to the limit.
"When————yin!!!"
A harsh and extremely dissonant sound then started up from the stage!
At the last moment before falling, Ido grabbed the keyboard with both hands.
The audience in the audience breathed a sigh of relief. They never wanted to see a tragedy happen.
Ido calmly held the piano and sat upright again. He didn't seem to be frightened.
Regaining his center of gravity, he bent over and stood up with crutches.
The interrupted applause started again.
This time, the applause mixed with 'bravo!' was louder than before.
The backstage also became noisy because of the shocking scene just now.
Fortunately, that scene didn't really happen.
Fortunately, Qin Jian stopped old Assad at the critical moment.
Seeing that Ido didn't fall off the stool, old Arthur let out a long breath. He was too impulsive just now.
"Sorry sorry."
Only then did he notice Qin Jian's wrinkled dress because he blocked him. He didn't know what to say for a moment. He felt that he should solve this problem for the other party immediately. He still had one hour, but where should he get one? Exactly the same dress top.
And Ido is coming out soon. How is Ido’s mood?
While old Assad was thinking anxiously, Qin Jian suddenly took off his dress jacket and handed it to Duan Ran who was standing aside.
Qin Jian loosened the collar of his shirt, smiled at old Assad and said, "I feel much more relaxed this way. It's no problem, Teacher Assad."
Qin Jian's actions also caught the attention of the surrounding backstage workers. The intense scene just now was no less intense than on the stage.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see what's going on, and they have a favorable impression of this considerate Chinese young man off the stage.
Old Assad gently patted Qin Jian's shoulder, "Thank you."
Everything returned to calm.
Qin Jian also breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the big screen again.
His heart was in his throat just now.
But even if Ido did fall? He wouldn't let old Arthur have to rush into the stage.
When a special situation occurs on the field, such as a player fainting or other situations? Special security personnel and doctors will be on stage to deal with it as soon as possible.
But when they have to appear? They won't show up, because this is the live stage of the Chopin Competition.
"Don't worry, Teacher Assad, I don't think it will have any impact."
Qin Jian knew Assad's worries. He comforted him, "Ido is still perfect today."
Comfort? This was also the expectation in his heart. He really didn't want Ido's score to be affected by the scene just now.
"Thank you, Qin Jian." Old Assad looked at the bowing figure on the screen and thanked him again.
...
Ido bowed and left the stage, ending his second round of performance.
The game continues? The staff came on stage to replace the piano.
The host comes to the stage to read the information of the next contestant to enter.
Maybe Ido's scene was too thrilling? Maybe Ido's Op22 Polonaise was too dazzling.
Neither of the two players who appeared after that made a big splash. They didn't make any mistakes, but they were definitely not exciting enough.
Pollack, the No. 54 player from Sweden, bowed and left the stage. Amid applause, the conversation between two men was heard again in the fourth row on the second floor of the auditorium.
Yglaz: "Not good enough? This Swedish guy is too soft? He's like a little woman playing with the keyboard. If I were the judge, he wouldn't be able to pass this round."
"And that Irish Curly, both of them are not as good as the Syrian kid just now."
"Oh, what a pity."
Shen Qingci: "Do you think that scene just now will affect the judges' scores?"
Ygraz laughed self-deprecatingly: "I hope not?"
Their eyes were directed to the stage by the host who came on stage again.
The host read out the information of the last contestant on stage.
