Chapter 398
Liu Jae-hyuk was in great pain, facing the inexplicable "English Country Tunes", he could only bite the bullet and give it a go.

"Maybe it will work?"

Thinking this way, Liu Zaihe brushed past Liao Yuan and sat down on the piano bench.

He decided to play the great and famous work of the famous pianist Rachmaninoff's Third Piano Concerto.

He can't guarantee 100% success, because usually, when playing this piece of music, it is very easy to make mistakes, which requires strong concentration and proficiency in the piece.

Such fast piano pieces require extremely high levels of muscle memory and are played almost entirely with the fingers rather than the brain.

In Lee Jae-hyuk's view, only this "Third Piano Concerto", which is recognized as the most difficult in the world, can beat Liao Yuan's "English Country Tunes".

Whether in terms of speed or rhythm, the former is much stronger than the latter.

When everything was ready, he looked solemn, like a soldier going to die, playing the first note under the eyes of everyone.

When the first note sounded, followed by a light and slow melody, like the tranquility before dawn.

After a while, the continuous music that seemed to never stop sounded silently in the hall, pouring into people's ears like a tide.

"La three?"

Many people's eyes widened in disbelief.

"La San" is called "the most difficult work in the world" and it is worthy of the name. It is rumored that the physical exertion of playing "La San" is equivalent to "shoveling ten tons of coal". Although such a description is a bit exaggerated, it has never The side confirms the difficulty of the song.

Even Rachmaninoff himself described his concerto as "the work of an elephant" a hundred years ago to describe its size and heaviness.

The sound of the piano constantly ringing in the ears made many people look surprised, but they also seemed to be stunned.

Liao Yuan's performance is already superb. In terms of speed, it is definitely the fastest in the audience. In the long history of piano, there are no more than five fingers that can beat the speed of this piece of music, and there may be only works as difficult as La San. , able to firmly overtake Liao Yuan.

However, the difficulty of pulling three is obvious to all.

Almost no one can play this piece of music in a formal performance, because it requires extremely strong physical effort and a deep understanding of the piece. Of course, the bigger reason is that players are prone to make mistakes when playing this piece of music.

Can Lee Jae Hyuk really succeed?
People remain highly skeptical.

Even Liao Yuan was a little shaken in his heart.

He deeply knows that if Lee Jae Hyuk can really successfully play Rasan on the spot, as long as he expresses his emotions correctly and has a good voice, he can almost rival him.

But, it's just almost.

At the last moment of the competition for the gold medal, the pressure was as great as Mount Tai. This was not something that anyone could easily overcome.

Five minutes later, the first movement of "La San" has just passed the first half, and the sound of the piano is still circling in the hall.

The surprise in people's eyes gradually receded, and some people couldn't help but raise the corners of their mouths, almost laughing out loud.

Not self-sufficient.

In just 5 minutes, Lee Jae Hyuk made three mistakes.

That may not sound like much, but in the professional world, one wrong note, let alone three, is a serious mistake.

The judges glanced at each other and already had a decision in their hearts.

At this moment, the sweat on Lee Jae Hyuk's forehead faintly reflected under the light.

Should not!
Nothing should go wrong!

Those three notes, in the usual practice performance, are not the key points that need to be raised all the time!

But precisely because of these three places that shouldn't go wrong at all, they went wrong.

In an instant, Lee Jae Hyuk's heart showed signs of collapse.

In the following performances, the signs of this collapse became more and more obvious.

By the time the entire piece of "The Third Piano Concerto: The First Movement" was played, the scene was completely silent.

People looked at each other in blank amazement.

Eight notes are wrong!
This is a far worse mistake than many pianists who have never been famous.

Some Korean pianists at the scene couldn't help covering their faces, showing deep disappointment.

This……

Even wrong eight notes!
I can do it too!

After the song was played, Lee Jae Hyuk sat on the piano bench for more than a minute before standing up.

At this moment, sweat wet his shirt.

As soon as he thought that this performance was being watched by the whole country and even the whole world, and tens of millions of spectators were witnessing it at this moment, he began to be in a trance, and his face was even more pale and frightening.

What's more, I didn't expect the strong physical exertion caused by playing "La San" and the weakness of my legs.

Therefore, as soon as he got up, his figure began to sway violently, and with a plop, he knelt down on the ground.

There was an uproar.

Seeing this, Lee Jae Hyuk's assistant quickly ran onto the stage and helped Lee Jae Hyuk, who was weak all over.

Seeing Lee Jae Hyuk with blank eyes, the assistant felt a little embarrassed.

At this moment, I feel a little ashamed in a job that I usually feel very honorable.

"It's over, it's over..."

Lee Jae Hyuk muttered to himself.

At this time, at the invitation of the judges, Liao Yuan re-entered the stage and stood with Lee Jae Hyuk, waiting for the final result.

The result is no suspense.

Liao Yuan, who played "English Country Tunes", won the victory.

After Xiao En passed, Liao Yuan also successfully advanced to the top three.

"The teacher is really amazing!"

Seeing Liao Yuan who gradually returned to his seat amidst the thunderous applause of the audience, Wu Di felt inexplicably excited, and the blood in his heart was gradually burning.

"Come on!" Liao Yuan patted his shoulder and said with a smile.

Wu Di nodded heavily.

In the third game, Wu Di VS Sagawa Taro.

After winning against Arimarise, the unknown Sagawa Taro caused a huge sensation in the Japanese piano circle. Yesterday, almost all of the Japanese newspaper news was broadcasting Sagawa Taro's life.

He became a monk halfway through, and only got acquainted with music in middle school, and fell in love with the piano. In college, he even became the president of the piano club. You have to take the trouble to knock on the door, and face the salesman with a smile on the face of all kinds of disgusting eyes inside the door.

After spending three years as a gangster in the company, at the age of 26, he was found by an old classmate and recommended to sign up for the Queen Elizabeth Competition.

This is a legend.

From the beginning of the audition, Sagawa Taro has revealed his formidable strength.

He can play almost any piece of music with his eyes closed.

As for the interpretation of emotions, it seems that because of his sales experience in the past three years, he has tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, so that in the music he plays, people can hear powerful and moving emotions.

Every piece of music seems to have become a story.

Every listener seems to have become a person in the story.
