The world's number one pianist

[Recite the URL three times silently. Do you remember it? If not, I will ask again in the next chapter. It is best to share it on Facebook for me]

The next day.

After He Shen mastered all 24 pieces of Chopin etudes, everything returned to calm.

He Shen just waited for his body to recover a little and was no longer so weak, and then resumed his previous practice method.

A dark practice method.

But this time was different from the previous one. He Shen did not use the students in Haicheng Conservatory of Music as his logistics team.

After all, those students were really irresponsible!

Zhou San and the vice president of Haicheng Conservatory of Music were all a little scared of this. I really don’t know what would happen if He Shen really starved to death.

If I guessed correctly...

Haicheng Conservatory of Music would be in big trouble!

Therefore, the vice president of Haicheng Conservatory of Music sent those people, all those who were related to this matter in the volunteer association.

Except for those who worked hard in the early stage and those who wanted to slack off in the later stage. Every one of them was criticized in a notice.

Criticism that is enough to enter the file!

It is no small matter that the top musicians in China almost starved to death because of their own selfish desires!

It is precisely because of this situation that the vice president of Haicheng Conservatory of Music directly let go of the task of taking care of He Shen and handed it over to other people.

That is Zhou San, the few people he brought from Jiangzhou!

Ji Mengting and the two unlucky guys.

They are fully responsible for He Shen's normal daily life and meals.

It is guaranteed that He Shen will not fall down again because of lack of food.

He Shen no longer needs to worry about these food issues. He can continue to lock himself in the small room with confidence, constantly looking at the works in front of him and continuing to analyze.

Through the memory of Chopin for two whole years, He Shen can feel more and more the soul in Chopin's music,

especially...

In the second half of the memory, He Shen basically regarded himself as Chopin and felt that he was Chopin.

He felt that these works were not written by Chopin at all, but by He Shen himself.

Therefore, when He Shen first came out, these works were already at the level of Lv9, close to Lv10!

This level is almost enough to win the Chopin International Piano Competition, the champion in a small year.

Unfortunately, this year is a big year, and Lv9 is still a bit uncertain. It has to be Lv10 to be safe.

Therefore, He Shen put aside other work for the time being, and spent less than half a month to bring these 24 etudes of Chopin from Lv9 to the stable Lv10 level.

Then it took another month to bring all of his works to the peak of stable Lv10.

That is, the same as the previous works.

So far, He Shen will no longer have any regrets in the first and second rounds of etudes.

Another loophole of his has been filled.

What he lacks now is only Chopin's Mazurka and Waltz.

And these works have been effectively solved with the arrival of Dan Yi.

As a veteran piano teacher, Dan Yi's sensitivity to piano competitions is something He Shen has not been able to achieve in several years.

Therefore, Dan Yi did not hesitate at all and directly helped He Shen find a few works that are most suitable for participating in the Chopin International Piano Competition. Let He Shen practice.

These works are all the most appropriate to He Shen's style.

Full of emotions, but not too violent.

Full of emotions, but not too sentimental.

He Shen's interpretation of these works with emotions in the middle is better than those works that release emotions.

Everyone can release their emotions crazily, and everyone knows how to do it.

Isn't it just using force to make the contrast extremely strong, making everything look more fierce?

Many people can do these things, and do them very well.

Unfortunately, this is not so comfortable for people like He Shen who have relatively stable emotions.

He cannot release his emotions too strongly.

Therefore, in works that do not require too strong release of emotions, He Shen's control of emotions makes Dan Yi have to praise him.

"I have to say, your progress in this Chopin Mazurka is really fast! It's a bit scary!"

"If you hadn't played it in front of me bit by bit, I would have thought that you were possessed by Chopin!"

Dan Yi couldn't help but complain after looking at He Shen who was very serious.

He has taught so many students, and it is really rare for someone to improve as fast as He Shen. He doesn't know what to say.

The last genius like He Shen was called Li Diyun, who was in prison for 15 days.

The one who won the 20th Chopin International Piano Competition!

He Shen looked at the score in front of him and didn't say anything. He just sat there, supporting his chin with his fingers, and looked at the score in front of him very quietly.

His eyes were calm, and his brows were slightly furrowed.

The Mazurka and Waltz that Dan Yi specifically asked him to play have all reached the level of Lv8, which is still a little short of Lv9.

And this distance, He Shen has not found yet.

He didn't feel his peak at this point, nor did he feel the shackles that made him unable to go any further.

If that's all, it's not bad, maybe he no longer has the need to break through this barrier.

But, the problem is...

Although he can feel his progress, this progress is very slow. The speed is countless times slower than the previous few months, almost moving at a turtle crawling speed.

In the past, it might be possible to progress by 1 every day. From 1 to 9, it would take 10 days.

But now, after he is 9 years old, his daily progress is about 903, 906...

I have absolutely no idea when I will be able to upgrade from level 9 to level 9.

That is, from the peak level of expertise that ordinary people can reach, to the master level that only masters can reach!

It feels too difficult...

Thinking of this, He Shen couldn't help but sigh, shook his head, reluctantly put away the music score in his hand, opened a new one, and planned to play something else to change his mood.

Dan Yi couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly when he saw He Shen like this.

He has been a teacher for so long, how could he not know what the students are thinking when they show such expressions!

Without any hesitation, Dan Yi immediately stretched out his hand and knocked He Shen's brain hard, knocking him out of the air.

"Don't go too far. I'm telling you, among all the students I've taught, your strength has improved the most. If you're not satisfied yet, do you want to fly?"

"How about I give you the system in the novel and enlighten you directly from an ordinary person to the world's best pianist?"

"Really, I'm not satisfied with my progress so fast. I don't know how to be impetuous all day long!"

Dan Yi stood up as he spoke, patted his slightly wrinkled clothes, and continued with He Shen.

"Come on, I'll treat you to dinner. The results of the preliminary test will come out later tonight. It's just time for you to relax and relax a little."

"When today is over and you prepare to go to the Chopin International Piano Competition, the Chopin Concert Hall in Poland, it won't be so easy..."

Go ahead, Danyi shook his head and prepared to go out with his hands behind his back.

Ji Mengting was sitting at the door looking through the music scores. Suddenly she found the door opened and He Shen and Dan Yi walked out of the room. She couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised.

"Teacher He, but teacher! You guys are out!"

"Jiangzhou Normal University just sent us a package. It was written in English or something, and it was an international package!"

"Teacher He, do you think the notice for your competition has arrived?"

Ji Mengting handed a small package to He Shen. He Shen glanced at Dan Yi and opened it without any hesitation.

In it, there is a certificate and a notice, with one thing written on it in Polish, English, French, and German.

He Shen's English is relatively average, probably the level required to pass the college entrance examination with a low score.

But He Shen's Polish has gradually reached the level of a native speaker. He immediately noticed the Polish word and read it slowly according to the Polish pronunciation.

"Dear contestants, we are extremely excited to wish you success in qualifying for the Chopin International Piano Competition preliminaries!"

"Please sign in in front of the Warsaw Opera House before the 1st. You will compete in the qualifiers at the sub-venue on the 6th."

"From 160 contestants from around the world, 80 people will be selected to enter the Chopin Concert Hall to participate in the first round of competition!"

"I wish you a satisfactory ranking!"

“Friendly wishes!”

"Organizing Committee of the Chopin International Piano Competition."

When Dan Yi saw this notice, he couldn't help but smile. He had already seen this notice from Li Diyun before.

Therefore, he immediately understood that He Shen had successfully entered the preliminary round.

Although, I had already expected this and knew that He Shen would definitely be able to enter the preliminary round.

But when he actually saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel his heart in his stomach.

You can fall down at any step, but never fall down at the first step!

Especially, when everyone was waiting for you to win the championship, you fell in the first step...

Although I don’t know where He Shen learned Polish from, in any case, it is enough for He Shen to enter the Chopin International Piano Competition.

Ji Mengting was looking at He Shen expectantly and asked extremely anxiously.

"Teacher He? How are you? Have you entered? Have you successfully entered the preliminaries of the Chopin International Piano Competition?"

He Shen looked at the extremely anxious Ji Mengting in front of him, smiled and nodded slightly.

"Well, I'm in."

"Yeah!"

Ji Mengting jumped up suddenly, opened her hands and cheered.

"Teacher He, I already knew you could do it!"

"Um."

He Shen looked at Ji Mengting with a smile and said nothing.

He was also slightly relieved after seeing that he successfully entered the preliminaries of the Chopin International Piano Competition.

The pressure that these days of constant practice put on him was a little too much, so much so that he couldn't bear it for a while.

But fortunately, now he has entered the game...

Next, the most important thing is to win the championship!

…

At this moment, the entire Chinese classical music circle was shaken.

At 19:30 pm China time and 13:30 pm Warsaw local time, the Chopin International Piano Competition Organizing Committee held a press conference to announce that the list of players entering the preliminaries has appeared.

There are a total of 502 players registered this time, which is the largest number of players in the history of the Chopin International Piano Competition.

And this time, because there are too many good seedlings, the number of players in the preliminaries is a few more than before.

Usually there are 160 people, but this time, there are a full 164 people!

According to the report of the Chopin International Piano Competition Organizing Committee, among these 502 people, 58% are from Asia, 32% are from Europe, 9% are from North America, and 1% are from Australia.

And among the 164 people who advanced to the Chopin International Piano Competition preliminaries, 34 are from China.

However, less than half of these 34 people are studying in music colleges in China, and most of them are studying in major music colleges around the world...

And some people from three small places on the edge of China.

"Wow, there are so many Chinese candidates this year! It's a great honor for our country!"

"Indeed, I thought He Shen was the only one who was nominated, but there are so many!"

"It's just the preliminary round of the Chopin International Piano Competition. Let's wait and see after the preliminary round. Now, no matter what, it's just a beginning. The preliminary round does not represent the final situation."

"That's right. After all, eggs cannot be put in one basket. Even if we know that He Shen has the highest possibility of winning, it is impossible to assign He Shen alone!"

"With more people, the chance of winning is greater. Who knows? I feel that this year may be the most promising year!"

"Yes, I think so too. This year we have a good start. At the beginning, more than 30 people entered the competition, which is one-fifth! We can definitely win!"

"That's right! That's right!"

"I feel the same way! There is hope this year!"

"But after watching so many, I still feel that He Shen plays the best and has the most feeling..."

"After all, he is the main pianist promoted by China. This is normal. He has the greatest hope this year! I bet on him to win the championship! The championship is in his hands Control!"

"Don't underestimate the team next door, Japan and Korea are not weak. There are several big guys from Japan, such as the one who entered the finals last time..."

"Well, the same is true for those people in Poland. Their strength should not be underestimated!"

"I looked around and there were few weak ones. Just looking at the background, the weakest one was a Japanese..."

"Are you talking about that one? A doctor from the University of Tokyo Medical School? That one is really strong. The doctor defeated so many professional pianists purely by hobbies. I am a little curious about how far this doctor can go..."

"If you say that, the one with the weakest academic qualifications is He Shen. Okay, Jiangzhou Normal University Conservatory of Music, the others are all large conservatories, and there is even a University of Tokyo. Why are you from the Normal University Conservatory of Music here to join in the fun?"

"That's right, look over there, Huaguo Conservatory of Music, Berlin University of the Arts, Curtis Music Institute, Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Music, there are too many big guys, and there is no weak person!"

"This year feels...it will be very good!"
