Sister's suggestion was immediately responded to by An Jieyi.
"I also agree that several children's polonaise should be played again. It has been a few days and some details need to be replayed."
Seeing Andrzej speak, Argerich turned his gaze to Branjano with satisfaction.
The two veterans have spoken, and those who have opinions on this cannot say anything. Moreover, this is also one of the details of the individual award selection. 'When two or more judges request a replay of the scene, a notary will perform the operation.
.'
Branjano signaled the old notary to play the polonaise of the five people one by one.
The first thing played was contestant No. 9’s polonaise.
...
The time passed like this in five polonaises with different styles, during which the adjacent judges occasionally whispered to each other.
Argerich did not communicate with anyone. Her innate ability allowed her to recall the scenes of those days without listening to the recordings. She had already made up her mind about the best person for Polonaise.
She just needed to use this hour to sort out her thoughts and think about some issues.
During the five consecutive years of judging the Chopin Competition, she has seen all kinds of 'situations', some of which were even unknown to the outside world.'
The Chopin Competition jury, which appears to be harmonious to the outside world, has actually experienced serious internal divisions since 1980.
In her opinion, the recent three judging panels, under the leadership of Andrzej, not only have not developed for the better, but have become more and more like a private institution of the Chopin Institute.
However, Andrzej's external slogan of developing Shawsay's influence around the world has received strong support from the Polish government, and he has also made great achievements.
‘Chopin and His European Music Festival’, ‘Annual Chopin’s Birthday Concert’ and ‘International Chopin Music Week’ are all famous international music events planned by Andrzej.
Nowadays, the Chopin Competition is no longer a simple competitive competition decades ago, but has developed into a cultural symbol full of infinite added value.
Andrzej has drawn more attention to this place, including financial groups and politicians.
The question also arises, is all this really beneficial to the future of the Chopin Competition?
My sister is worried about the future of the Chopin Competition.
Until this time, when she saw the series of reform measures Branjano made after taking office, she couldn't help but praise Branjano's courage.
Although she has always disliked Branjano because of the 14th competition.
Reducing the number of Polish and Russian judges on the jury, and boldly appointing young international Chopin pianists as judges. These two measures to rectify the jury made my sister have a changed opinion of him.
Subsequently, from the auditions to the preliminary round, and now the main competition, Branhanu has been working hard to make the competition more transparent and fair.
Argerich saw it.
Especially at the end of the second round, when Branjano boldly activated the sixth order in order to ensure that the last two players could advance to the third round, she was moved.
Anyone with a clear eye at the situation could see that among the two players, he wanted to protect not only the Polish girl, but also the disabled Syrian young man.
She believed that the Poles must have a way to make the Polish girl stay, but Branjano did not use the method she least wanted to see.
She had to say that under the leadership of Branjano, the overall evaluation of the Polish judges this time was too objective, even so objective that she felt it was harsh on the Polish contestants.
Robert's elimination in the first round caused a strong reaction from the Warsaw media. She also felt it was a pity, but she knew that Robert would not make it past the second round.
After the second round, there were only two Polish players left, and one of them was still struggling to advance.
Although the results of the third round have not yet been announced, she is almost certain that the player who is struggling to advance has been eliminated.
In other words, there will only be one Polish player in the finals.
All this seems reasonable, but there is an abnormality behind this reasonableness.
Just because she slapped the table doesn't mean that she is still the same person who slammed the door and left fifteen years ago if she disagreed, but the sensitivity in her heart has not diminished.
So she needed to think, and at the same time she secretly prayed that the Syrian young man could make it to the finals, and she didn't expect the judges to award the individual award for Polonaise to this poor young man.
She only hopes that he can advance smoothly.
She secretly sighed in her mind that maybe it was really related to some political issues. The attitude of the Russian judges towards the young Syrian contestants just now was even more silent than she expected.
But at this point, what can she do?
...
The 45 minutes passed quickly. When Contestant No. 57 turned around and the strings of the Steinway broke on the projector, the screen froze.
The conference room that had calmed down seemed to still be echoing with that crisp, inflected ‘buzz——’
Argerich proposed that the five-person match be replayed. She should have said a few words after the recording was played, but she remained silent.
It seems that there is no need for much argument.
However, the voting process was still not omitted. Talibek nominated 42 and 57 to participate in the final competition for the polonaise single award, and most of the judges acquiesced.
The Russian judges knew that with contestant No. 57 there, Ivanov had no chance.
Moreover, judging from the comparison just now, it is true that contestant No. 42 and contestant 57 performed better than the other three.
Seeing that there was no objection, Branjano stood up and presided over the vote.
"Uh-huh."
15:2.
Contestant No. 57 defeated Contestant No. 42 with overwhelming force and won the individual award for Polonaise.
Only Talibek and Deng Taishan voted No. 42, and even Argerich voted No. 57.
This made Andrzej a little confused. He originally thought that Argerich had an attack because player No. 42 was ignored during the discussion stage. Now it seems that the other party's intention is not that.
While the old notary was recording the voting and sealing results, Andrzej looked in Argerich's direction intentionally or unintentionally.
The Argerich also looked at him at the same time.
The two of them just bumped into each other across the round table.
Andrzej then showed a gentleman's smile, and Argerich responded with a charming smile.
"cough."
An unintentional cough interrupted the two of them looking at each other.
Branjano stood up again.
The scene became quiet again as he stood up, because everyone knew that the next step was the selection of the grand prize for Mazurka.
A contestant once said, 'The Mazurka Award should be the most valuable award in the Chopin Competition after the gold medal.'
This is correct, and perhaps it is for this reason that Mazurka has been eliminated for two consecutive years.
As the most splendid treasure in Polish national music culture, the mazurka is the only one to be crowned the oiran.
Peking Opera is in China, Mazurka is in Poland.
"Write down the candidates.
"Everyone."
After Branjano finished speaking, Ogg was the first to write.
Then one judge after another started to move.
Soon the sound of swishing filled the conference room again.
