The faint sound came from the first round of applause from the audience.
On the far left of the last row of judges' seats, an old man with wild gray hair clapped his hands and shook his head.
The look he left on the stage was full of regret.
"It's a pity that the fourth movement is over."
Indeed, the first round of performances belonging to contestant No. 21 has ended, and even the applause from the audience is no longer as enthusiastic as it was just now.
But for a young man from Nanshi, everything seemed to have just begun.
Qin Jian raised his hand to wipe the sweat from the corners of his eyes again and moved to the center of the stage.
Facing the uninterrupted applause from the farthest distance, I bent down again.
"Thanks."
It is a feedback for the special applause.
It is also a feeling of gratitude for a certain calling in my heart.
…
The game continues.
Qin Jian quickly returned to his seat as soon as he stepped off the stage.
He didn't pay attention to the strange looks from around him.
He just took a deep breath and quietly turned his attention to the stage.
However, after downplaying all the emotional interference on the stage, Qin Jian's heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.
If you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find something in his twinkling pupils.
During the performance just now, Qin Jian discovered some problems.
It seems to be imprinted in my mind, the more I can't get rid of it.
So he needed to restore every detail of what happened five minutes ago when he was sitting under his fingers on the piano.
Start by making sure the fingertips of the first weak attack head fit the keys.
Undoubtedly, without audio and video recording, this is definitely an extremely complicated task.
But for Qin Jian, this ability is one of his few outstanding points, both before and now.
The Piano Sonata No. 1 in F minor is actually Beethoven's early work, which is confirmed by various records.
At that time, classical music was in the process of moving towards romanticism. During this process, there was no strictly convincing argument about the sonata's playing style and proportional texture direction.
So while Qin Jian continued to speed up the fourth movement, he couldn't help but have a question in his mind.
"At the intersection of the classical and romantic periods, the new sonata form has not yet been fully established. As modern people, in what way should we restore that era?"
"Beethoven first arrived in a foreign land, and what was his emotional state like when he wrote on the lines with a quill under his dark couch?"
This is Qin Jian's further thinking after he continued the music to the second part while maintaining absolute rationality and continuing Czerny's playing style.
But here, there seem to be more issues involved.
This relates to the example of modern pianists.
"Compared with Uncle Che's demonstration, it is obvious that the speed of the CD recorded by modern performers is slower, and the performance of the music theme is not very clear."
However, this way of playing was finally finalized more than a hundred years after the sonata form came to an end.
Modern people are more inclined to call it authoritative, and researchers have always regarded this way of playing as biblical and have always believed in it.
This forced Qin Jian to review a record in Chris's Piano Beginner's Guide: 'The sonata form considered after 1840 has become strongly deceptive...'
‘Why is formulaic performance description possible? The mystery is naturally interesting.’
'It's funny how a bunch of idiots managed it'
Qin Jian could even feel Chris's mocking tone.
I laughed out loud inadvertently. Using 'idiot' to describe some guys was indeed both vivid and appropriate.
It's a pity that Chris's beginner's guide doesn't talk more about this mystery and what non-formulaic playing should look like.
Qin Jian had to admit that his curiosity had been completely awakened by the strange gatherings.
At the moment I am feeling slightly excited.
This problem has become too huge at this point, and his narrow knowledge reserve is no longer enough to support him to continue thinking.
But at this time, a bold idea had arisen in his mind. He would start to regress along the steps of the 32 sonatas demonstrated by Czerny, step by step back to 1792.
This year, Beethoven brought the unique stubbornness of Bonn people to Vienna, the center of world classical music, for the first time.
Here, Qin Jian is sure that he can find the secret about the last measure of the F minor sonata.
When the sound of - sounded in my heart again, the whole song ended.
Qin Jian came back to his senses and felt particularly comfortable.
Fortunately, no gaps were found in the complete logic of the performance, although there was indeed an accident in the last section.
The stone in my heart also fell.
But another more realistic problem emerged again.
"How many adoration points do you need to open thirty-two songs?"
Qin Jian sighed softly, and passed his left hand with his right hand without any trace.
The panel flashed out.
[Worship value: 1835]
Although this value has exceeded his estimate for the first round, it is still far away from unlocking the entire set of thirty-two sonatas.
"Try harder—"
As the passionate arpeggio legato in his ears became more and more exciting, Qin Jian quickly turned off the panel and lay back on the chair in an extremely comfortable posture.
Looking at the stage is extremely satisfying.
At this time, the left and right hands of the performers on the stage were running quickly.
Another etude by Chopin, Op10.no1
Psalm of Escape.
A young man with a somewhat rough appearance was playing, but his fingers were extremely delicate, with a strong lightness unique to the French piano.
Elegant and refined, extremely sensitive.
When Qin Jian became immersed in music, he was quickly attracted to the pure tone of the piano.
"It's really great to be able to achieve clear layers in such a soft voice."
Qin Jian admired it with all his concentration.
Only thirty people can set foot on the stage, and indeed everyone’s shining points are worth learning from.
for example.
Zhao Yinuo was still immersed in the rigorous phrasing of someone's piano sonata in F minor, frowning.
Duan Ran, on the other side, seemed to have been looking at the numbers on the mobile phone screen in a daze, but he seemed to have determined the truth of a certain problem in his heart.
【05:02】
"It was five seconds faster."
The girl sighed softly, and there seemed to be a trace of dissatisfaction in her calm eyes, but she was more surprised.
"This time, you won."
Putting away her cell phone, the girl quietly looked at the back of the head in the corner of the front row, pursed her lips slightly, and a pear dimple climbed up to the corner of her mouth.
In an instant, his eyes moved to the stage.
The decomposed seventh chords swirl around the simple hanging painting of musicians.
Be solemn in the brightness, bloom in the brightness.
The echoes condensed in the air, like condensed and reorganized column chords, like Gaurian chants.
Beautiful, transparent and powerful.
…
"The twenty-fourth contestant——"
"The twenty-sixth contestant——"
…
Under applause.
As more and more contestants walked off the stage, the competition entered its final heat.
After the twenty-ninth contestant left the stage.
The hall suddenly became quiet.
moment.
The announcement sounded again in the hall.
"The last player to appear in this round is--Fang Zongyao."
"Recommended by the Organizing Committee of Huayun Youth Music Skills Competition."
