pianist from the sea

Chapter 86

He Shen stood at the judge's seat in the distance, watching Fu Tiao being played, with a calm expression.

He listened very carefully to some problems in Fu Tiao's performance, feeling the power of Fu Tiao's performance and whether the music could be perfectly conveyed to him.

After seeing that Fu Diao chose Steinway, he couldn't help but nodded slightly.

In fact, He Shen also felt that it was very appropriate for Fu Diao to choose Steinway.

The other three piano styles are too strong. If you want to control them well, you must often use those pianos to perform.

The resources of Fu Tiao are really too few. The pianos he practiced are all domestic pianos, and there are also Yamaha upright pianos...

You must know that the upright piano and the grand piano are two completely different concepts, and even the pedals are different. Even if you get used to playing upright, it will not help the grand piano at all.

Therefore, Fu Tiao's choice was not a problem at all.

If Fu Diao could have more resources...

He Shen couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this place.

Fu Tiao is still a student in school after all, even if he has qualified for the competition, he is not a top pianist, and the resources are still too few, especially compared with other people.

Even if Fu Tiao's basic skills rank among the top now, it won't be of much use.

He Shen walked down from the judge's seat, walked to Fu Tiao's side, and said to Fu Tiao.

"The sound you played just now is slightly lower. The position on the second floor of the concert hall is not accurate enough. It's a little blurry. You wait for me to go up and then play on the side, and then pay attention to my gestures. If I let you go down You go down again, otherwise it keeps increasing, okay?"

"Yes!" Fu Tiao nodded.

He Shen immediately added: "The sound of the piano is best to be played by pushing, not hammering. Don't forget this point. The bigger the concert hall, the better the sound will be when you play the piano by pushing." It is possible to come out with more."

If it is explained in a scientific way, then it should be that the sound effect brought by short-distance high-intensity is more explosive than long-distance high-intensity sound effect.

And the force point of the keys is closer to the inside, closer to the strings?

To actually explain it can become long and tiring.

But explain it in a way that all pianists can understand, tell them to push, and exert force after touching the keys.

In this way, even if they don't understand science, they can make a more perfect interpretation.

The two quickly adjusted their performance in the concert hall, allowing Fu Tiao to feel the feeling of playing in this concert hall.

This concert hall is too big and too square, and it is different from all the concert halls where Fu Tiao played before, so it is difficult to apply the previous formula.

Therefore, he can only rely on He Shen's experience to fit the structure of the concert hall as much as possible to make his performance more perfect.

It can make those judges feel his music more clearly...

Time passed by, and Fu Tiao followed He Shen and the two for a short time. After getting a very precise force, the two stepped off the stage and registered information.

After he gave He Shen a copy of his address, he bid farewell to He Shen.

On the other hand, He Shen just waved at Fu Tiao and asked him to go back first because he still had students from the beautiful country to deal with.

"Oh yes, Fu Tiao!"

When Fu Tiao was about to walk out of the concert hall, He Shen suddenly stopped him and said with a smile.

"Don't forget the point of your music! Remember, you have your own music, you don't need to cater to others for the competition, play Chopin what they want, show your best state, tell them what is called your Chopin, the Chopin of Huaguo! And... what is this competition created for!"

"Although I may be in the camp of my students, after all, I am a teacher hired by their school, and I have to help them, and my Chopin is also in the top three at the Manhattan School of Music, but... "

"I will definitely support you! Come on!"

After all, He Shen waved his hand at Fu Tiao with a smile, and returned to the concert hall, preparing for the adjustment of his student from the Manhattan School of Music.

Fu Diao looked at He Shen's back, waved his hands lightly, and walked towards his dormitory in silence.

He has to prepare for the game in three days.

October [-]rd, five fifty in the afternoon.

Chopin Nocturne 37-1.

Chopin etude Op10-4.
Chopin etudes Op25-12
Chopin Scherzo Op52
Hope I... don't fall in the first round!

……

After the selection of Fu Diao's piano was over, other contestants also entered the Warsaw Chopin Concert Hall one by one to select their own pianos.

And at the moment when all the contestants selected their pianos, the Organizing Committee of the Chopin International Piano Competition had already established a website for this competition.

The person in charge of the organizing committee looked at the document just uploaded below, scanned it from top to bottom, and nodded slowly.

"How is the site doing? Is there a problem with the server?"

"The server has been tested and there is no problem. The webpage has also been checked three times by a professional team, and there is no problem."

"What about the roster? Has anyone been left out?"

"No one is left out, everyone is included."

"Okay, then... let's open the station."

After all, the person in charge said to the technicians around him. After the technicians fiddled with it for a while, the website was opened soon.

At the top of the page, there is a very obvious logo of the Chopin International Piano Competition.

A sixteenth note creates a slightly abstract Chopin.

In the logo, you can even see Chopin's name, Friedrich.

The 17th of the [-]th Chopin International Piano Competition.

There are also some complex elements.

And under this huge sign, a piece of news was pushed to everyone.

September 2015, [-]
"Now, We Know the List of Candidates for the Competition"

"Pianists from 120 countries will spend [-] hours playing countless Chopin's works within [-] days, which indicates that the Chopin International Piano Competition will officially kick off. In today's release At the meeting, the order in which all the contestants will play will be made public!"

explode!Information explosion!
When the Organizing Committee of the Chopin International Piano Competition posted the news on the Internet, all participating countries except Japan became excited.

Dongpu had released the information of the Chopin International Piano Competition a long time ago, telling everyone that they had won twelve places for this competition.

Now the question comes?

How many people in this competition can enter the first round of the Chopin International Piano Competition?And among these countries that entered the first round, which country has the largest number of people?
No one could resist the temptation of these messages. They quickly clicked on the news released by the Organizing Committee of the Chopin International Piano Competition, and quickly looked at the content. Afterwards, everyone couldn't help being stunned.

Some countries went into ecstasy.

E.g……

China!

Jiang Ruijia has been staying on the Internet, waiting for the news from the Organizing Committee of the Chopin International Piano Competition. Finally, when she and those people in her live broadcast room are about to be unable to hold on and are about to go to sleep, she will send the news of the competition It was brushed out.

She woke up suddenly, stared at the screen, and said softly word by word: "Now, we already know the list of candidates for the competition? Huh? The list of competitions is out? Finally out?"

Without any hesitation, she immediately pressed the record button, shook her head, and after she woke up a little, she asked in the live broadcast room.

"Where are people? Are there any living people? Everyone, get up and look at the list!"

The voice fell, and it took several seconds before someone began to reply.

"Come here! Just wait for today!"

"I don't know how many people can enter the first round, but I feel that we should have the most people in Huaguo? After all, we have the most people in the first round and the qualifiers every year."

"At least one can be admitted. I know that Fu was transferred. Who else? Does anyone know?"

"I seem to see that Kong Qi has also entered. Xu Zi is not sure. He shouldn't have any problems, right?"

"Well, well, three then?"

"I bet ten! There is no problem with ten!"

"I bet thirteen, nothing else, just better than Dongying people!"

"Have courage! I'll follow, I'm fifteen!"

"I'm twenty!"

"I have fifty!"

"..."

The barrage in the live broadcast room was about to become messy, but Jiang Ruijia didn't stop it, but cheerfully agreed with everyone.

"I also followed one, and I followed 14. Is there anyone else who bet? I'm going to draw a lottery?"

"Let's go, let's see how much Huaguo has entered!"

"Then let's go!"

Without hesitation, Jiang Ruijia directly opened the content of this news.

The opening paragraph is placed at the top as a subtitle, and the following is the formal content.

"During the meeting held in the Chopin Hall in Warsaw, the Minister of Cultural Heritage of Warsaw Prof. Magorzata Omilanowska drafted the letter "B"; thus the competition will begin with the first performance of the candidate Tymoteusz Bies from Poland."

"According to the rules and regulations of the competition, only pianists born between 1985 and 1999 are eligible to apply for the competition. Contestants are required to submit the video of the first round of competition while submitting the application form before December 2014, 12. After announcing the basic requirements for the competition, the Chopin Association received more than 1 applications from participants from all over the world. Based on the comprehensive consideration of the competition videos and application forms, the competition organizing committee selected a total of 450 pianists to participate in this year's competition. The preliminaries held in Warsaw in April. Among all the candidates who participated in the preliminaries, 163 pianists were selected for the official competition with the unanimous approval of the jury. In addition, there are 79 pianists - winners of international competitions and The winners of the 7 Regional Chopin Piano Competition will be exempted from the preliminaries and enter the official competition in October."

"Of this, six candidates withdrew from the competition, so in the end a total of 80 candidates entered the first round. Of these entrants, the largest groups came from China (15) and Poland (14) ;In addition, 12 pianists are from Japan; 8 are from South Korea; 6 are from Russia; 4 are from the United States; 3 are from Italy, Canada and England; 2 are from the Czech Republic; Croatia, France, Greece, Hungary, Indonesia, Latvia, Romania, Ukraine and Uzbekistan."

"The list of candidates for the competition is attached with the news:..."

The list was very long, and in order to prevent being scolded, some people just skipped it and refused to listen. Jiang Ruijia decided not to continue to read the names one by one, but read directly to the last paragraph.

"The first round of competition will last from October 2015rd to 10th, 3. We will announce the candidates for the second round on the evening of October 7th. The live broadcast platform is divided into two categories. You can watch the Chopin International Piano Competition The official platform, or watch it on the Youtube broadcast platform, if you want, you can also watch the live broadcast through the Chopin competition app mobile client (for Android, IOS system and smart TV).”

Jiang Ruijia let out a long sigh of relief, her expression slightly agitated.

At this moment, it's not just Jiang Ruijia who is a little excited, but those people in the live broadcast room are also a little excited and a little unbelievable.

Because... there are too many contestants in Huaguo, beyond their imagination.

"My God, our Huaguo... is really amazing! Especially in the first round of the qualifiers."

"Number one in the world! Fast forward to number one in the world!"

"Who dares to be invincible? Who dares to be invincible? Let me show you what a top music country is, okay?"

"Chopin International Piano Competition? No, no, no, Chopin Huaguo Piano Competition!"

"This is the real strength, give them a little porcelain shock!"

"Huaguo music education! Awesome!"

"Ma De, who said before that music education in Huaguo is not good? Stand up for the labor and management, you call this bad?"

"It's so handsome! It's really handsome! Fifteen contestants!"

Before, they felt that 25 of the 12 contestants in Dongpu were already very good.

And among Huaguo's 26 contestants, 15 of them entered the first round?
Even if you know that Hua Guo's players are particularly good in the first round, then there are basically only two or three players left in the second round, or even the entire army is wiped out.

But when he really saw this place, Jiang Ruijia really didn't know what to say.

This is outrageous too!

80 people!In the first round of the Chopin International Piano Competition, exactly 80 people entered the arena, and among the 80 people, exactly 15 people were contestants from Huaguo?

How much is this?A little more than a quarter, less than a fifth?

That's about the same amount.

You can even say that players from Huaguo, Dongying, South Korea, and the three East Asian countries together directly accounted for half of the first round of the Chopin International Piano Competition.

This number is too scary.

At this moment, not only the country of Hua was shocked, but other countries were also shocked.

Not counting those small places for the time being, there are only one or two players in many places.

Just talk about South Korea. South Korean players can be regarded as the favorites to win the championship this year, but look at the number of players they entered the first round.

Eight people.

It's just about half of Huaguo's side.

And South Korea is already the fourth player in the number of players among the [-] countries, and the latter is even more tragic.

In other words, the number of players in the first round of the three countries of China, Poland, and Japan can exceed double digits.

15 people, 14 people, 12 people, three countries directly surpassed half of the positions.

Poland is actually okay to say, after all, the Chopin International Piano Competition was born in Poland, and it is only natural for Polish players to play Chopin well.

Just like the top writers conference in Huaguo, the contestants from Huaguo can understand what the Huaguo Literature Award writes better than contestants from other countries.

For example, the competition in this writers' conference is to recite ancient poems.

Do you think European and American players have an advantage in reading, or Huaguo's players have an advantage in reading?
Don't even think about it.

Compared with Poland, Dongying is a bit more difficult to understand, but there are still traces to follow.

From the birth of the Chopin International Piano Competition, to the first player winning an award in the competition, and then to No.2, the highest ranking, their obsession with the Chopin International Piano Competition has become more and more serious.

Other countries have won. As the top European and American country in Asia, Dongying is the country that likes European and American thinking logic the most. They have studied Europe and the United States for so long, but the highest is No.2?

Why?
The music education in Dongying is very strong. Every time they hold a Chopin International Piano Competition, they are shooting documentaries, instilling them in their students, and letting them charge towards the champion of the Chopin International Piano Competition.

So it is very reasonable for Dongpu to get 12 players.

And Huaguo...it's very strange, there are too many people, too many!
The music education in Huaguo is not as good as that in Japan, and there are even a lot of people who look down on classical music, thinking that classical music has infringed traditional music and so on.

The main thing is to rely on the large number of people to see if top experts can suddenly appear and lead them away, such as Li Diyun in 00.

If they are about the same number as Dongying, it is actually quite normal, and everyone can accept it, after all, there are so many of them.

But this population advantage has turned into a real number advantage, which makes many people's glass hearts unable to hold on, and the players looking at Huaguo are full of envy and hatred.

Why can they enter so much?And the vast majority of us are eliminated?
All of a sudden, various places began to spray each other.

Except Huaguo.

The situation in China is calm, and everyone is immersed in their own territory, enjoying everyone's praise of their own family members.

Some people have even started to boast that music education in China is the best in the world.

It's so cool to beat other countries with the music they are best at, isn't it?Just thinking about it makes me shudder.

Even if everyone knows that Huaguo's players performed brilliantly in the first round, their performance in the second round will be even worse.

But there are so many people entering this year, can't everyone look forward to it?Maybe the number of people entering the first round this year can be extended to the second round?Then continue to derive to the third round, the fourth round?Even the final?

Although it is unlikely, the dream is still to be done.

Who would say no to a sweet dream and an almost perfect start?
Nobody!
However, just when everyone was immersed in their dreams, looking forward to a better result in the Chopin International Piano Competition this year, suddenly some blind people appeared, and they started talking madly at everyone spray.

"The contestants of Huaguo can do it. The current music education in Huaguo... Are you out of your minds? Or do you think all of us are out of our minds?"
