Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 214 209. In the finals, everyone talked about the order, the missing voice

The leaders of the first two contestants gave speeches for tonight's finals.

Liu Wei, Chairman of Xinghai, and Qian Zhongnan, Chairman of the Organizing Committee of this competition, spoke on stage respectively.

Looking back on the history and current situation of the Xinghai Cup, Liu Wei proudly said that after 36 years of trials and hardships, since the first session was held in Yanjing in 1985, after several generations of hard work, the Xinhai Cup National Piano Competition has now developed into the most domestic piano competition in history. A comprehensive piano competition with a long history, the most authoritative, the greatest influence, and the widest coverage.

Looking forward to the future of the New Sea Cup, he said that civilizations are colorful because of exchanges, civilizations are enriched by mutual learning, and music can be a powerful driving force for world peace and the advancement of human civilization.

The Xinhai Cup will cooperate with the Global Music Education Alliance to promote the exchange and development of piano culture between Huaguo and the world for a long time through regular competitions.

Qian Zhongnan later also mentioned in the purpose of the Xinhai Cup that our competition is open.

The competition will give people a model of music aesthetics and a standard of music education.

He hopes to introduce future pianists through the Xinghai Cup competition platform.

These pianists will definitely imprint the imprint of the Xinhai Cup Competition and become messengers to promote the development of world piano music in the future.

"This is the most valuable and unique meaning of the Xinhai Cup piano."

Finally, Qian Zhongnan wished the six contestants shortlisted for the finals of this year's Youth Open to show their best performance in the coming time, to show their level and style.

Once again, I would like to express my special thanks to the national first-level conductor and the founder of the Huaguo Orchestra discipline. The old man Qianzheng took time out of his busy schedule to serve as the conductor and art director of the final stage.

bow.

"Wow——————"

The warm applause led to the third task of the competition, the exciting lottery session.

In any arena, the order of appearance will affect the player's state and mentality to a certain extent.

The first player to appear on the stage always has to accept the half-baked opening atmosphere. In other words, the first to appear on the stage has to bear an additional responsibility for the warm-up.

It doesn't matter if the heat is bad, for most viewers, they don't care.

They will only leave their expectations for more to the second player on the stage.

In the conference room, everyone watched the six people dressed up on the stage on the big screen, and listened to the host's explanation, discussing the sequence of appearances sentence by sentence.

Those who can sit here at this moment are naturally Li An's faction. Their imaginary experience tells them that it is best for Li An to be drawn last.

They are not afraid to wait.

Qin Yong held a different point of view. As a conductor, he knew that a conductor's state would decline as his physical strength declined.

What's more, Mr. Xie is in charge of directing tonight.

Qin Yong estimated the time. Each contestant's concerto would take about three to ten minutes, that is, Mr. Xie would have to stand on the podium for three hours, not counting the time for going on and off the stage.

He was a little worried that the old man would not be able to bear it.

So from Ang Lee's point of view, he hopes that Ang Lee can be drawn third or fourth, and the two positions in the middle are the most advantageous for the band.

"Qin Finger."

Wang Panpan called out, and everyone looked at Qin Yong.

Qin Yong: "The third is the best."

At this time, on the screen, Wu Fusheng, an alumnus from his school, stepped forward and took the fourth one from the six red envelopes.

After opening it, he took out a white paper folded in half, unfolded it with a smile, and then showed it to the bottom of the stage.

'③'

The number in Wu Fusheng's hand was clearly displayed on the big screen on the stage.

"why?"

Although Ma Tao didn't understand, he believed Qin Yong's words. Looking at the number ③ that was taken away as soon as he said it, he secretly sighed that this buddy was lucky.

After Qin Yong explained, everyone understood.

Immediately after that, Liang Chunyu and Yanev were the second and third to draw envelopes. According to the rankings of the third round, they were drawn ④ and ⑤ respectively.

Wang Panpan frowned: "No way."

According to her cousin's analysis just now, of the remaining ①②⑥, only one ② is still worth a draw.

Everyone just watched Li An on the screen stepping forward.
-
⑥。

Li An prayed in his heart and stopped in front of the last three envelopes.

If there is a general in the box, he doesn't want to wait until the end to play.

Waiting is more or less a waste.

But in the second round and the third round, he played in the front row for two consecutive rounds, and now in the last round, he also wants to experience the feeling of being a latecomer.

Besides, there are only six people, and we can't wait too long.

There are three envelopes 1, 4, and 6 in front of me.

Now that you have entered the final with the No.4 score, then——

Li An generously reached out to pick up the first envelope on the far left, opened it, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

exhibition to the audience.

⑥。

In the auditorium on the west side, Chen Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it's not ①.

In the auditorium on the east side, Lin Youyou looked at the game manual in his hand again. According to the current order of appearance, Wu Fusheng on the ③ and Qiuyu Liang on the ④ both played k466, the Russian on the ⑤ played k271, and Ang Li on the ⑥ Play k466.

Judging from the order of the repertoire, Ang Lee's position is not bad.

If the three of them play k466 continuously, the later they play, the less popular they will be. Not only the audience, but also the judges will feel tired.

Now there is a k271 between the three, and this problem has been somewhat balanced.

In her opinion, among the three serial numbers left just now, ② is a good position.

If she had to choose, she hoped that she would play first before Wu Fusheng.

After Qin Yong's wave of brainwashing, everyone in the Yudong conference room was sweating for Li An.

Of course, most spectators don't care who goes first.

But they still watched it with gusto. The random and stimulating part of the on-site drawing of lots, like the passionate speeches made by the leaders at the beginning, increased the viewing experience of the game to a certain extent.

After Ang Lee, Jiang Sheng got number ①, and number ② naturally went to Zeng Mengqiu.

The lottery ceremony ended, and the six contestants and two notaries left the field.

The host made the final entrustment for the 5-minute upcoming competition. At the same time, the doors on both sides of the backstage opened, and a row of performers in black dresses holding various musical instruments came out from the two doors in an orderly manner.

"Wow——"

There was applause at the scene.

The barrage in the live broadcast room also has the words "Yanjiao" written on it, with a heart emoticon next to it.

5 minutes passed in a flash.

Jiang Sheng felt that he was about to play again as soon as he returned to the backstage.

At the backstage entrance, the staff is preparing for her upcoming appearance.

On the side, the old man Xie Ganzheng grinned and teased her: "Old Li Ke is sitting down there, you have to play it in a while, this is the first performance of his Yunxiang memories."

The old man was right, Jiang Sheng also comforted himself in this way.

At least the first one to appear on the stage can be the first to play Yunxiang Memories.

This work written for the finals of this year's open group has not yet come out, and whoever is drawn first will be the premiere of this work.

"come on."

Liang Chunyu cheered for Jiang Sheng, and other people also cast various encouraging looks.

One of the six people must come on stage first.

At this time, another staff member hurried over and asked Jiang Sheng if he was ready.

Jiang Sheng nodded.

After a while.

"The first contestant to appear on stage, contestant No. 054, Jiang Sheng, was selected by the Yangcheng Conservatory of Music."

There was applause from the front stage in the background, Jiang Sheng let out a deep breath, and when the staff opened the door to the passage, she was about to take a step, Mr. Xie walked out before her.

Jiang Sheng followed and walked onto the stage, only to see Mr. Xie stopped and applauded along with the audience, and used a gesture of invitation to create an atmosphere for her when she passed by.

"Wow——————"

Another round of applause.

The applause from 1800 people was so loud that Ang Lee could feel the sound waves hitting his face when he stood five meters away from the passageway.

On the stage, Jiang Sheng bowed and took his seat. Mr. Xie then stepped onto the podium and opened the K466 band score.

When the applause faded away, Jiang Sheng pressed the a1 note on the keyboard, and the double pipe chief of the orchestra stood up to make the same sound, and then the string group, woodwind group, and brass group sounded one after another.

Over the entire hall, the standard tones of various musical instruments circled and staggered. The orchestra members of each part tuned the strings or adjusted the depth of your mouthpiece. After three seconds, all the musicians put the instruments away.

The coda in the air dissipated and the dialogue ended.

The exciting moment finally arrived, and the eyes of the audience inside and outside the scene were all focused on the podium and the piano.

Xie Gan was looking at Jiang Sheng, and when he saw him nodding, he turned around and looked at the cello part.

I saw him raise his hand so lightly.

In the next second, the gloomy string syncopation sounded from the back of the stage, and the bassist's triplet spread towards the front of the stage softly and urgently with the dark tone of D minor.

The whole hall was brought into Mozart's harmony in an instant.

This is what everyone is looking forward to tonight.

One of the final pieces, K.466.

Mozart Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor.

The first movement, Allegro (Allegro).

The band prelude of nearly two and a half minutes does not make people feel boring or dull, and the band part that Xie Gan is carefully deploying will never lose to tonight's contestants.

Listening to the concerto, you must not ignore the existence of the orchestra.

Because music is dynamic, if you don't pay attention to the changes that are happening in the band, you will miss 90.00% of the moment when the piano soloist and the hands join the music.

Jiang Sheng raised her hand at the end of the band's first presentation and entered the beginning of the second presentation. She simply snapped her fingers, and the full-grained piano sound joined the music in a bright and simple way, directly changing the depressive atmosphere created by the first presentation.

The conflict of music colors makes the drama of the music suddenly appear!
It's eye-catching.

All the judges in the audience couldn't help but nodded. Contestant No. 54 had a successful start.

A good start is half the battle. The more Jiang Sheng plays, the better he will be.

Gradually, the whole person was immersed in his own music world, and every movement played a special emotion from the place where the fingers fell.

Behind every emotion is her purpose for coming here for the second time.

It's simple, she refuses to accept it.

She wanted to prove to her teacher Zhao that she wanted to be on the final stage of this competition, but the biggest stumbling block was the aura of the Piano Department of Huaguo Conservatory of Music.

Today she did.

For this moment, she has prepared for four years.

No matter what happens today, after today, she will move towards her next life goal.

Another series of beautiful runs, she looked extremely calm.
-
Ang Lee, who returned to the personal lounge, has been completely attracted by your stage scene on the overhead screen.

He was a little surprised after seeing Jiang Sheng's rehearsal scene. The k466 played by Jiang Sheng at this moment was completely different from what he had heard before.

The notes seem to come at random, but they are played delicately.

The layout of clauses and pianistos is so firm yet without losing tension.

Small body, big energy, easy to lift.

The best description he could think of.

Before he knew it, he remembered that the other party was also the first to step onto the stage that morning, and his passionate torrent directly ignited the stage of Group A.

"sharp."

Li An felt that it was necessary for him to take back his evaluation of comparing her and Wu Fusheng yesterday.

In this way, the other party had reservations during the co-production process.

It's not malicious speculation, even if the other party really used an illusion to deceive everyone during the co-production, and then waited until the real stage to explode.

This is a reasonable thing to do.

Everyone is their own protagonist.

But in all honesty, the two times played by Jiang Sheng in co-time were indeed very ordinary, and every movement could not be compared with what he heard just now.

However, compared to Jiang Sheng's debut of K466, he is more looking forward to the other party's premiere - Yunxiang's memory.

As Mr. Xie Ganzheng closed his hands on the podium, Jiang Sheng's concerto ended.

There was no applause at the scene, and there were multiple reminders in the game notice that each contestant had to play two pieces.

After a while, Jiang Sheng played his hand again on the stage.

A shrill small second tremolo suddenly rose from the piano castanets, which was creepy.

In front of the piano, Jiang Sheng turned sideways and looked directly at the index finger and middle finger on the keyboard, which were being raised and lowered rapidly.

At the same time, in every corner of the backstage, the other five contestants were also paying attention to the two fingers.

As the master of fingers, Jiang Sheng has been thinking since the night he got Yunxiang's memory sheet music, how long it will take to play the Tr (tremolo), which is the first one in the opening chapter, which says free extension.

Not Mozart, not Beethoven, she has no recorded references to any version.

Not even a reference on the sheet music.

No time signature, no barlines.

Obviously this is still a loose board.

Scatter board, pay attention to a free rhythm.

But for these students who started to learn from the beats of Western music from the beginning of exposure to music, this kind of freedom from the folk is more like a shackle that is difficult to break free.

The scene endured the harshness of this group of vibrato.

In the live broadcast room, some people were already scolding something. Some people answered that this was the latest piano work by Mr. Li, a famous composer in my country. However, not many people bought it.

Can understand.

At the beginning, even the players couldn't decide to pay attention, let alone the lively spectators.

Ang Lee loves ethnic works, and he spent a whole night studying the score on the day he got it.

Like Jiang Sheng, he didn't understand what the Douyin Li old man wanted at the beginning.

But with bit by bit analysis, he gradually found some fragmented inspiration.

If you look at this work from the perspective of analyzing famous Chinese traditional songs, it will probably return without success.

Because this work was born today.

2021 years.

At present, the popularity of the piano has exploded in China, and the number of piano children is approaching the astonishing number of 7000 million.

Although many Chinese piano works are popular in foreign markets, they are far from having real influence on today's international piano music scene.

In other words, what Huaguo lacks today is not Liang Zhu Jasmine, but the voice of the moment.

As a contestant and a fringe practitioner at the same time, Li Anneng can appreciate the good intentions of the organizing committee from the fact that this work was moved to the final stage.

Behind this should be the words "Zhengxing promotes the current national piano art".

Whether it is Jiang Sheng's slightly sharp processing, or the subsequent linear processing of the glasses girl, this is the understanding of the pianists cultivated locally for the innovative piano music of the nation.

All are worthy of discussion and research.

But a game is still a game.

Discussion can be postponed.

Contestant No. 071 Zeng Mengqiu, who played on No. ②, chose to play Yunxiang Memory, the designated work of the competition first.

After the performance, she tucked away the broken hair by her ears, just waiting for Mr. Xie to wave down the baton.

Friends who have been paying attention to this year's youth open group competition probably noticed it in the lottery session. Tonight's glasses girl changed from the usual light stage appearance, and she was particularly eye-catching in a fiery red low-cut dress.

Due to her flat figure, she can only support her bust with a corset and corset.

It's ok.

She also wears contact lenses tonight.
-
Zeng Mengqiu looked away, Mr. Xie waved his hand, and the prelude of a band different from k466 played.
