In the noisy concert hall backstage, the host, tuning, video recording, broadcasting, field management and other staff began to get hungry and finish their busy work.
The five contestants who were about to take the stage were also sitting in the rest room preparing for the final stage.
In Duan Ran's rest room.
After finally spitting out the lipstick, Duan Ran pursed his lips in front of the mirror and spread the red color on his lips.
The bright little face in the mirror looks particularly mature today.
Qin Jian, who was sitting on the sofa in the corner, appeared to be holding his mobile phone, but in fact his eyes never left Duan Ran.
He felt that Duan Ran was quite suitable for wearing heavy makeup, but he usually only lightly embellished it on his face.
He felt that he couldn't take the initiative to propose such a thing, as it sounded like he had some shady purpose.
Although the two are now used to playing rough and tumble games in the morning and evening, they have never gotten to that point.
Even if he got to that point, he would be embarrassed to make any specific requests.
But he would never admit that he was boring.
After Duan Ran finished applying makeup, she turned around, and the skirt of her white dress followed her around.
Freeze people.
"Does it look good?" Duan Ran blinked at Qin Jian.
Qin Jian pretended to have just raised his head, and when Duan Ran looked at him, he made a surprised expression.
Then he looked him up and down and said, "I'll be jealous if you go out like this."
Duan Ran's little face lit up with joy when he said this, "Humph, just be sweet."
"Would you like to have a taste, it's milky?" Qin Jian said and touched his chin.
"Never!"
Duan Ran didn't dare to agree randomly, she had finally put on makeup.
"You still haven't taken off your pants?"
"It's still early, don't be in a hurry."
...
The two of them were talking and laughing, but the Russian guy next door was already ready for battle.
five minutes later.
As a bell rang in the concert hall, the host came on stage to open the next game.
It’s still the same old process, the judges must be introduced first.
The vast majority of the audience has long memorized the full names of each judge, as well as their expressions after they stood up.
After introducing the judges, the judges introduced Ivanov, who was the first to appear in the afternoon.
The introduction of Ivanov, who is full of aura, even takes a little longer than Rachel. This guy has really rich life experience.
Under applause, Ivanov appeared on the stage. He was wearing a bright blue dress today and looked very arrogant.
In front of several TV screens in the rest room backstage, the other four players were quietly waiting for Ivanov's performance.
They don't know what the judges will have for lunch today, just as they can't predict what the judges want to hear today.
They must work hard to face today's game.
On the screen Ivanov sat down at the piano.
Adjust the piano bench.
Raise your arms and lower your fingers.
Ballade No. 1 in G minor.
The original Russian piano sound shows its incomparable delicacy in the very beginning of the introduction.
Ivanov took the lead.
The music unfolds.
The entire hall is filled with a strong Russian style. Although this is a stage in Warsaw, Chopin's music is world-class.
The Chopin Competition is not only a competitive event that gathers young pianists from all over the world for five years, but also provides an opportunity to evaluate different piano schools in various countries and observe each other's different understandings of Chopin's music.
In the first three competitions, the international classical piano music community recognized the Polish school and the Soviet school.
The reputation of these two schools can be established on the world stage because the pianists from the two countries have gradually established themselves on the international stage.
They won the game like gods descending from the earth, and their names were rectified, and their bloodline would be passed down.
Generations of young pianists will draw on their experience and nutrients, and continue to follow the old path of their ancestors with love and passion.
Ivanov is a native and orthodox young pianist of the Russian school.
From the time he pressed the Steinway piano at the St. Petersburg Conservatory of Music at the age of 4, accompanied by his professor father, his future piano path was determined.
Born in a family of traditional Russian artists, he did not even have the opportunity to choose another way of playing in front of the piano.
His father has warned him since he was a child, 'You must play like this. Even the simplest scales must be imagined as an arc. You must hone your fingers. Your fingers are the prerequisite for everything you play.'
The playing techniques of the Negoz group, the first of the four major Russian schools, became a required course for Ivanov in his youth.
Many of his teachers are the most famous music educators in Russia.
Orthodoxy never comes casually, and orthodoxy always needs to be constantly rectified and maintained.
With the expectations of his ancestors, father, teacher and Russia, Ivanov once again walked out of the piano room in St. Petersburg.
He came to the stage of this Chopin Competition as the top seeded player in Russia.
When he came here, he saw the most famous young pianists from around the world. Listening to the live performances of these young pianists made him excited, but it also put him under pressure. He knew that he had to come up with something convincing.
In the first round, he chose four extremely difficult works. He perfectly demonstrated to the world the finger skills possessed by the young Russian pianists.
After the competition, he received great praise. On the night when the results came out, he even received a congratulatory call from the famous Russian pianist Brauning, the gold medal winner of the 11th Chopin Competition.
In the second round, he still chose to use the most representative pieces of each musical form to compete with players from all over the world.
Ballade in G minor, Waltz in D flat major, Barcarolle in F sharp major, Heroic Polonaise,
The four works are either grand and sad, some are cheerful, some are delicate and profound.
Ivanov used the purest Russian techniques to interpret these four works. He told the audience how to listen to Chopin's Song of Destiny from the perspective of piano art.
As he stepped down, the applause from the audience continued until the host came on stage again to introduce the next contestant.
Italian veteran Duccio appears.
He bowed to the audience in a gentlemanly manner, using the same posture as Pollini. As an Italian, Pollini was his belief.
Then he sat down at the piano and started playing. His opening piece for this round was the Ballade No. 2 in F major.
The grainy intro is both sentimental and romantic in Italian hands.
The two-time veteran's performance experience goes beyond sentimentality and romance. Duccio is well aware of the judges' preferences.
In the brisk waltz and the intense polonaise, he performed with a high level of strong tone and excellent detail processing.
But emotionally, he gave Chopin's music an overly sad color, which may not sound perfect to some listeners.
Du Qiao made no major mistakes during the performance of the four pieces, except for a wrong chord at the end of the last polonaise.
It must be difficult for ordinary viewers to hear this error amid the continuous rumbling chords.
