The world's number one pianist

He Shen looked at the piano in front of him, his eyes locked.

Now, this is the last piece he is going to play!

No, perhaps it should be the last 24 pieces!

The last 24 pieces, Chopin Preludes!

Just play all of them, and then his third round will be completely over.

Moreover, his 24 Chopin piano preludes have all reached the level of Lv10!

Basically, it can be regarded as very well prepared!

He Shen took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began to let his emotions gradually merge with the emotions of the music.

Thinking about the music at the beginning.

Chopin, Chopin...

The first piano prelude in C major, Opus 28-1.

It contains the admiration for Bach.

Only those who have really studied Bach seriously can write such a work.

But this work should not have the feeling of Bach, because this work is not written by Bach.

What should be in this first prelude of Chopin is the modernity that originated from Bach but surpassed Bach.

The longing, enthusiasm, intensity, morbidity, and haste are all modern, and the ever-changing modulation is also modern!

Therefore...

He Shen raised his hand and placed it on the piano keyboard, took a deep breath, and pressed it gently.

Buzz...

The sound of the piano came out of the keyboard instantly.

Emotions, extremely full.

The warm-up given to He Shen by the previous 4 piano mazurkas made He Shen's interpretation of Chopin more in place at this time.

Everyone's eyes lit up instantly.

This feeling is very good!

No, it can't even be described as very good.

This feeling...

It should be regarded as extremely perfect!

With this feeling, they could almost see a vague figure sitting in front of the piano, looking at Bach's score in front of him with longing, and then carefully interpreting the music according to Bach's ideas.

It was like looking at the advent of a god!

They could definitely see it!

It was this very special feeling.

The emotions of the crowd were a little exaggerated. They looked at He Shen with complicated expressions and almost lost the ability to speak!

This is just the first piece, this is the first piece!

This is just the first prelude of Chopin!

In this first piece, He Shen can interpret this extremely perfect feeling.

This extremely powerful strength...

Everyone really has no way to describe this feeling. They can only watch He Shen's hands running quickly on the piano.

The extremely light and agile interpretation of the feeling that music should have here.

"Is this He Shen's real strength?"

Some people among the crowd began to feel a little dry in their mouths.

He Shen's strength really far exceeds all of their imaginations of music.

They looked at He Shen now and only felt one thing.

That is...

He Shen's strength is really strong!

So strong that they couldn't imagine that there was such a person who could interpret most of Chopin's works to such an extent.

In He Shen's hands, music seemed extremely obedient and easy.

Specially, especially easy.

It was as if music should be so simple.

Wait, that's not right! This feeling is...

The originally relaxed people suddenly felt something was wrong. Their eyes suddenly widened and they looked at each other with a hint of shock in their eyes.

A word appeared in their minds.

Make light of heavy things!

Yes, it's light of heavy things.

This set of works should be very difficult and difficult to interpret, but He Shen could interpret it with such a relaxed attitude.

This feeling even made them a little confused.

They even felt that they could interpret such works so easily.

But their reason told them that they couldn't.

This set of works is not a particularly simple one, but a very, very difficult one.

When interpreting these works, their brains need to think about many things.

In fact, they don't have much ability to interpret such works.

"This is He Shen..."

Everyone looked at each other and sighed.

In the distance, the players who came to watch the game couldn't help but sigh.

He Shen's interpretation is really too strong.

Do they really have a chance to compete with He Shen head-on?

This is just the first piece of Chopin's piano prelude! He can interpret it so well.

Then what's next?

Bruce Liu, Liu Yu, who was sitting in the Maple Leaf Country camp, was also looking at He Shen very seriously.

Now it's just the first piece, so what's next? How can you interpret it later?

The difficulty of Chopin's piano preludes is not the first one, not the beginning.

It is the whole. Each of the 24 pieces has a completely different feeling.

This is the biggest difficulty of Chopin's piano preludes!

Can you do it?

Liu Yu didn't know, and he didn't want to know.

After all, the two people were in a completely opposite state, and he also wanted to win the championship!

Therefore, he didn't want his opponent to be so strong.

So strong that he had a little idea that he couldn't resist.

He looked at He Shen, rubbed his eyebrows, bent forward, supported his hands on his thighs, and looked at He Shen very seriously.

Waiting for He Shen's interpretation later.

Looking forward to He Shen's mistakes, giving him a little chance.

The same is true for Fan Tian Kyohei, but his eyes are not on He Shen's depth, his eyes are on the distance, where the contestants enter.

He seems to be able to see Kobayashi Aimi's expression behind the stage through the extremely thick soundproof wall.

He felt that Kobayashi Aishi might be in trouble.

He Shen was in front of her, playing Chopin's piano prelude, and he could interpret it so well.

Then, standing behind He Shen, could she withstand the pressure from He Shen?

Thinking of this, Fan Tian Kyohei couldn't help but sigh and retract his gaze.

If it were him, he would have collapsed now seeing He Shen could interpret such a work.

Not to mention standing on the stage and confronting He Shen head-on.

Being able to perform it completely was already considered good.

Sure enough, Kobayashi Aishi was indeed Kobayashi Aishi. She had experienced two Xiao competitions and her resistance to pressure was different.

What a pity...

It's a pity that He Shen in front was too strong!

Fan Tian Kyohei couldn't help but shake his head, leaning his body against the back of the chair, hugging his hands, and showing a hint of relaxation on his face.

He was too lazy to think so much, to think about how to confront He Shen head-on.

What he wants now is to enjoy the music well.

After all, He Shen plays so well, what else can he do if he doesn't appreciate it?

He Shen doesn't know what other people around him think. He just sits quietly on the piano bench, in front of the piano, interpreting his understanding of music.

He has practiced music for so long, constantly learning from Chopin, thinking about Chopin's logic of music, and thus gaining those understandings of music.

These things are not only passed on to him by Chopin, but also many, many works obtained through his own accumulation.

Therefore, He Shen has practiced these works countless times.

His understanding of these works is almost deep in his bones.

After all, no performer can really take lessons with Chopin, and then completely disassemble Chopin's music with the wisdom of modern people.

Maybe Chopin still had some musical feelings at that time, he couldn't say it, but just felt that such an interpretation might be better.

But as a modern person, He Shen has nearly a hundred years of research results obtained by countless people on Chopin.

He could clearly know why this place should be interpreted in this way.

All these things are within the scope of He Shen's knowledge reserve.

This is also the biggest confidence of He Shen's interpretation of Chopin!

Therefore...

After playing the weakest arpeggio at the end of the first section, He Shen raised his hand and the music slowly dissipated.

Then, He Shen took a deep breath.

Chopin's second piano prelude!

A minor, piano prelude, Opus 28-2!

Adagio, 2/2 beats, extremely melancholy chords.

Just like Chopin!

When the sound came out, the expressions of the people who were originally more relaxed changed a little bit.

The direction of the music... changed!

No longer relaxed and happy, no longer poetic and picturesque, now it has become... extremely painful!

Desperate, nerve-racking music!

The tonality of the music is constantly changing, and it is changing every moment.

The music as a whole is constantly floating, giving people a very strong sense of floating.

It makes people feel like they can't find their belonging or the direction to land.

This kind of emptiness instantly makes everyone feel a little bit anxious.

Liu Yu, who was sitting in the audience, changed his face again.

He Shen's interpretation of music has become very thorough.

He has successfully interpreted the second piece!

So...

He looked at He Shen and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

What about the third piece?

He Shen raised his hand, his mood changed again, and then he slowly pressed it down.

Piano Prelude in G major, Op. 28-3!

Active, 4/4 time...

The prelude in the left hand slowly opened the prelude, interpreting this prelude in an extremely pure White Flag Country style.

Then, after two bars, the extremely rapid sixteenth note accompaniment of the left hand suddenly sounded.

The right hand, under the rapid music of the left hand, began to interpret the extremely dim melody.

Two hands, two completely different feelings!

The second phrase expanded rapidly, and the musical patterns of the left and right hands began to approach the same.

Finally, like a cloud, it disappeared in the treble part.

Then, in a state of great regret, two chords were left.

The music disappeared and then instantly revived!

Piano Prelude in E minor, Op. 28-4!

Largo, the treble part double tone as the motive, the accompaniment of the chords, constantly strengthened the mood of the music, and the rapid running of the chromatic scale made the extremely melancholy mood in the music even stronger!

Piano Prelude in D major, Op. 28-5!

Allegro, the gorgeous motive runs through the whole song, an extremely gorgeous feeling!

Piano Prelude in B minor, Op. 28-6!

A miserable rainy night, the most famous raindrop among Chopin's piano preludes!

Everyone listened to this raindrop, and their inner emotions were gradually infected by He Shen.

They even felt like they were in the lake, the freezing cold water constantly hitting their bodies.

This extremely sad mood caused countless audiences to have a slight emotional fluctuation...

The seventh...

The eighth...

The ninth...

...

The fifteenth, Piano Prelude in D flat major. Incomparably continuous.

Named "Two Drops"!

In front of everyone, they seemed to see the gloomy corridors and prayers of the Valldemossa Monastery in Palma, the capital of Mallorca, as if they saw the monks carrying the bodies of their companions to rest in peace in the other world late at night.

This gloomy mood brought a little uneasiness to everyone's hearts, making everyone look at He Shen with more complicated expressions.

Everything is very, very perfect!

There is no problem at all.

Everyone is now too lazy to look for He Shen's problems.

They now feel that He Shen's piano prelude, Chopin, has basically reached the peak of this competition.

The emotions of each section and each prelude are extremely full.

There is not a single mistake!

The music is in He Shen's hands, and it completely obeys He Shen's command.

The 24 piano preludes correspond to the 24 tonality of the piano.

The feeling brought to the audience by these 24 tonality is extremely perfect.

In each tonality, the feeling that he should have is completely different under He Shen's interpretation.

Twenty-four completely different feelings make everyone even look forward to what kind of feeling the next one will produce.

They look forward to what kind of interpretation He Shen can use to interpret the unique feeling in the music.

He Shen did not disappoint anyone!

He Shen's interpretation of music is extremely accurate!

Every place is very accurate, and it even makes people feel that it is not He Shen who is playing the piano now.

But Chopin himself!

Liu Yu looked at He Shen and his interpretation of the music, and couldn't help but sigh.

He Shen's strength was very strong, so strong that he didn't know what to say.

Especially this complete set of Chopin's preludes.

In the Chopin International Piano Competition, few people are willing to play Chopin's piano preludes.

After all, this thing is too difficult!

It's even easy to make mistakes.

Among them, the twenty-four tonality and the control of emotional changes also require a very high level.

Everything must reflect the performer's deep understanding of music and Chopin.

And the biggest key point of the Chopin International Piano Competition is not to make mistakes.

Don't make mistakes.

In addition, Chopin's complete set of piano preludes is a very easy project to make mistakes.

Therefore, no one is willing to choose such a set of works to embarrass themselves.

It is precisely because of this that the emotions in everyone's eyes became more complicated when they looked at He Shen's interpretation of the music.

He Shen could play such a piece that was difficult to avoid problems, without any problems.

This level of interpretation, this level of understanding of music!

Everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and didn't know what to say for a while.

In their opinion, it was a foregone conclusion that He Shen would enter the next round and the finals, and it would depend on how many points He Shen could get.

At this moment, Deng Songshan, who was sitting on the judges' seat, had a very gloomy face.

He Shen's strong strength shocked him.

He used to think that He Shen might be a pure player who could only play Chopin.

So, he didn't like He Shen very much.

But now, his concept has changed.

He Shen's playing is really perfect!

It's this Chopin piano prelude.

Those who have their own style don't dare to play the work, but He Shen plays it.

Moreover, every change of emotion is interpreted very steadily, without any place that makes people feel out of the play.

It's like this place should be played like this.

This is the way Chopin wanted to express when he wrote this piece.

These things in front of Deng Songshan made him at a loss for words for a moment.

He could only look at He Shen on the stage and sighed slowly.

He... gave up!

He had to admit that He Shen might really be the kind of player who could play anything well.

He was not the kind of player who could only play Chopin.

There were many places in Chopin's piano preludes that didn't seem to be written by Chopin, but He Shen could interpret them very well.

It made people find the rationality of the logic.

Deng Songshan was not sure if he could do these things.

After all, this thing was really too difficult.

Also, his age might really be too old...

Deng Songshan glanced at his withered hands, then at Argerich sitting on the side, and at many other judges.

In the end, he nodded slowly but seriously to everyone.

Some of the judges who were die-hard in their personal style like Deng Songshan were stunned and looked at Deng Songshan, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Deng Songshan, he actually... gave up his personal style?

He actually thought that He Shen's interpretation of music had surpassed the struggle between the two factions?

This...

They looked at Deng Songshan and felt a little bit unbelievable.

However, when they looked at He Shen's interpretation of music, they seemed to feel that this thing should be like this.

He Shen's interpretation of this piano prelude by Chopin was really good.

Very, very good.

So good that they didn't know what to say for a while.

Although there are many, many things in He Shen's interpretation of music, which are all Chopin-like things, and they can't feel much of He Shen's own feelings in it.

But...

It must be said that He Shen's interpretation has reached a level that makes them forget the struggle between the two styles.

After everyone hesitated for a moment, most people finally wrote down a score of 24 points on the score.

A small number of people wrote down 25 points.

Without exception!

And He Shen, in the assassin, pressed the last few notes hard.

The music instantly broke out in the entire concert hall.

Then, it slowly dissipated.

He Shen stood up from his chair and looked at the people around him. He rarely smiled, but a smile appeared on his lips.

At this moment, the applause of the crowd suddenly rang out.

Like thunder!

The whole concert hall seemed to be shaking!

Bravo's voice rang out everywhere in the concert hall.

There were also stomping sounds from people who felt that their hands were not loud enough.

It almost lifted the roof of the concert hall.

It was like welcoming the appearance of a new champion!
