The world's number one pianist

The seventh contestant to appear, a ranking that is neither particularly good nor particularly bad. Read М

If you appear in the first place, you may get a score that is not very high, because the judges need to use the first place as a benchmark to compare the following contestants.

In addition to some special scores, such as syntax, harmony, and notes, many other things need to be considered.

For example, the performer's understanding of music, the idea of ​​the composer, and so on, these things are not all quantifiable.

If you appear in the last place, you may encounter a situation where all the audience and judges are very tired. Even if they want to be fair, it is difficult for them to be particularly fair.

After all, people are tired and it is easy to give a low score.

It can only be said that the finals take too long. If it is divided into three or four days to complete the finals and then calculate the scores uniformly, it may be better.

Just like the Chopin International Piano Competition.

He Shen looked at the 7 in his hand and didn't say much. After confirming with the staff, he closed the door and waited quietly for the start of the competition.

At five o'clock, the last light in the auditorium disappeared instantly, and the lights on the stage became extremely bright, focusing everyone's attention on the stage.

The host's voice came out slowly through the microphone on the speakers in the concert hall.

"Golden Piano Award, Piano and Violin Competition, Piano Group Finals, now starts!"

"First contestant, Chuanzhou, Chuanzhou Conservatory of Music, Yu Tanhang!"

"Performance: Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor, Op. 18"

"Cooperating band: Jiangzhou Philharmonic Orchestra."

Applause rang out, and the stage door opened.

A group of people from the Jiangzhou Philharmonic Orchestra swarmed out and quickly sat in their seats.

The first violinist stood up, walked to the piano, gently pressed the standard tone A on the piano, and then put his fingers on the strings of his violin and pulled.

Wow...

Accompanied by the sound of the first violinist and the tuning, all the other people in the orchestra immediately picked up their instruments and put them in their hands. They also pulled or blew the standard tone. After aiming at the standard tone, they immediately adjusted the height of other tones through this tone.

After ensuring that there was no problem with their own piano sound, they nodded to the first violinist, and the sound of the orchestra's ensemble immediately slowed down and disappeared.

The first violinist also returned to his position, waiting for the piano and the conductor to arrive.

The stage sliding door opened again, and Yu Tanhang from Sichuan Conservatory of Music walked out. Wang Jianguo followed behind him slowly, and the two came to the center of the stage.

Yu Tanhang walked to the piano, put his hand on the edge of the piano, and bowed to everyone.

Boom!

Applause rang out!

Wang Jianguo walked to the conductor's seat while clapping, waiting for the applause to subside.

Soon, Yu Tanhang sat on the piano stool, gave Wang Jianguo a look, and slowly pressed the keys with his fingers.

Bang...Dang,

Bang...Dang.

Bang...dang...

Bang...dang!

Bang...dang!!

...

After several chords were pressed and the bass sounded, Wang Jianguo waved his hand violently, giving everyone an emotion, and the sound of the band gradually surged, and began to compete with the piano.

The sense of brilliance that belongs only to large symphony orchestras surged instantly.

And the piano also showed its own strength in the band.

"It really deserves to be the Golden Piano Award finals. Look at this first person, he plays very well!"

"Yes, you listen to the confrontation between the chords and the bass in the front, it's really not something that everyone can feel."

"Not bad, it's OK."

...

Some judges began to talk in a low voice. There was no special feeling of surprise in their eyes, but only calmness.

The first contestant played well, but it was limited to playing well.

He did what he should do and thought about what he should think about.

However, there was no feeling that made people's eyes light up. I don't know what to say. It was just a little bit ordinary.

It was just average, and people could listen to it.

Unfortunately, in the finals of such a competition, especially the finals with many talented people, being just average can easily be equivalent to giving up.

The judges did not immediately call the first contestant off the stage, but they had basically filled out the forms in their hands.

If there was nothing particularly exciting in the follow-up, perhaps this ordinary score should be his final outcome.

Sure enough, until the end of the third movement, this person performed extremely well, without any loopholes or any particularly outstanding performance.

All the judges discussed it for a while and temporarily gave him a score of 47.

He Shen sat on the sofa, listening to the music outside, in silence.

He had played the second part before, and not only the second part, but also the third part.

Unfortunately, because he had no money to find a band to play with, it was difficult to make an appointment with the student orchestra in the school, and even if he did, there was not enough time.

So he played these works relatively averagely.

It was barely enough to reach the entry level, but forget about the professional level.

So, since I am not good at playing the 2nd and 3rd instruments, I should not judge others' performance.

Soon, the first contestant bowed and left the stage. After waiting for a while, the second contestant also came on stage, bowed and played.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or intentional, but the work chosen by the second contestant is Rachmaninov’s “Piano Concerto No. 3 in D minor”

One person plays the second string, and the other plays the third string, which is quite interesting.

It's just a pity that this three-string player is still very conservative. He doesn't have a special sense to give many exaggerated interpretations, and his cooperation with the band is not that good. So soon after he finished playing, he did not wait for the audience to applaud. He stepped down directly.

The third, the fourth...

The competition is becoming more and more intense, and the players behind are performing better and better.

This situation reached its peak when Yue Li appeared on the stage!

"The fifth contestant, Wuzhou, Wuzhou Conservatory of Music, Yue Li!"

"Performance: Liszt Piano Concerto No. 2 in A major, S125"

"Collaborating band: Jiangzhou Philharmonic Orchestra."

The host backstage seemed to get a little more excited when announcing the curtain.

Wuzhou Yueli, Jiangzhou Heshen, this is recognized by everyone as the favorite to win the championship.

No one knows who can win the championship.

Some people think that Yue Li may still be hiding something, while others think that Yue Li has shown all his strength.

No one can say who will be the winner.

Yue Li walked to the center of the stage, smiled at everyone, put his left hand on the edge of the piano, placed his right hand on his lower abdomen, and bowed slightly to everyone with great grace.

It's a pity that his extremely rugged figure and elegance have nothing to do with it.

Everyone still gave Yue Li the warmest applause and looked forward to Yue Li's performance.
