The world's number one pianist

Kobayashi Aimi thinks she is very unlucky, but she cannot be said to be completely unlucky.

Five years ago, she could definitely be regarded as a top young musician, and she had already been spotted by some smaller companies, who were ready to package her and let her land.

But it was obvious that she looked down upon those small companies and felt that she could move to a higher level.

After all, only by winning the top spots in these top competitions can you have the opportunity to sign contracts with those big companies.

Become a professional classical music player.

Therefore, after she won the finals of the Chopin International Piano Competition five years ago, after five years of accumulation, she is here again.

The last time she met Zhao Zhencheng, a pervert, he was extremely steady.

It's the kind of stability that you can't find any mistakes in as long as you take a look at it.

A solid pianist who made no mistakes from the beginning to the end.

This kind of incomparable stability directly caused the mentality of countless other contestants who wanted to rush into the wave.

There was no direction to attack, no place where he could overwhelm Zhao Chengcheng.

Zhao Chengcheng obviously didn't seem to feel any pressure at all, but no matter how he played, he just felt like he couldn't beat him.

This inexplicable feeling directly caused many people to lose their mentality. They could only be suppressed by Zhao Zhencheng and slowly play their own music.

Work hard to move in the direction of Zhao Chengcheng, try hard to see if you can catch up with Zhao Chengcheng's pace.

The same was true for Kobayashi Aimi, but she thought that she was still young anyway, she was just 18 years old, so there shouldn't be many problems.

Maybe if you practice again on your own, maybe for 5 years? Maybe I can succeed in the next Chopin International Piano Competition?

Now, she is here, and she is here with extremely strong confidence.

In the first few rounds, it was indeed no different from what she thought. She was able to take the lead among everyone and become a member of the first echelon.

But soon, she became stupid...

This year there is indeed no player like Zhao Zhencheng last year who is particularly stable and cannot find any mistakes on his part.

There is one coming this year, Zhao Chengcheng Plus, Max, Ultur, X, enhanced, invincible, overclocked version!

Now this He Shen, except that he doesn't have many mistakes like Zhao Chengcheng, other things are more terrifying than Zhao Chengcheng.

His skills, especially those of Chopard, are almost the best among all.

Those who can compete with He Shen in basic skills are probably Liu Yu, Kyohei Tanda, Alexander, Martin and others.

The skills of these people are basically similar to He Shen, and they are all top-notch in the world.

Even Kobayashi Aimi felt that he could reach He Shen's toes even if his skills were limited.

but!

He Shen's understanding of Chopin was basically the most profound among all people. It was so profound that she even suspected that He Shen had peeped into Chopin's memory.

Or is Chopard He Shen's previous life?

She had worked very hard to study Chopin, and she had only managed to figure out a little bit, which was barely enough to be considered capable of playing the complete set of Chopin's preludes.

The other players are similar. Basically, the more famous players that I have heard of are basically relatively experienced.

He's about as good as her, and occasionally even a little weaker than her.

Therefore, she really feels that she can win this year.

Until He Shen appeared.

He Shen, a name I had never heard of before, had no idea which competition he came from, and had no idea how he got the invitation to the Chopin International Piano Competition.

He just suddenly appeared in the game, stood in front of everyone with a posture that almost crushed everyone, and announced his existence to everyone.

When she first met He Shen, she thought she could win the first place in the Chopin International Piano Competition.

But the moment she met He Shen, she gave up. This was simply not something she could resist.

Fortunately, she kept her ranking and her results were pretty good. She had no problem entering the next round and competing for the top six.

However, her bad luck started just like that!

She met He Shen in the second and third rounds of the official competition.

Every time, I encountered He Shen.

Every time, I bumped into He Shen's back.

The live atmosphere of every piano performance she played was influenced by He Shen. Everyone was immersed in He Shen's performance and compared her with He Shen.

As soon as they heard that her performance was not very deep, many people immediately showed bored expressions.

It was like being accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and then suddenly eating vegetables boiled in plain water without any seasoning, not even soy sauce or salt.

There is no seasoning, just the original taste of vegetables.

No matter who it is, with a tongue that is nourished by the delicacies of mountains and seas, no matter how fancy the vegetables are cooked, no one will take a second look at the vegetables.

This is the problem she faces.

Every time she ranked behind He Shen, just to let those people take another look at her, she exerted 120% of her strength and made herself play as well as possible.

Only in this way can she barely guarantee her results and let the audience and judges take a second look at her to prevent herself from being eliminated.

When she competed with Zhao Zhencheng before, she didn't have such great pressure.

Now she was competing with He Shen, and the pressure was so great that she almost couldn't breathe.

But everything was fine...

This time, she didn't continue to line up behind He Shen. This time, she finally got the best order!

Although it was still a day with He Shen.

But!

This time, she was the first to play! She didn't have to face the pressure from He Shen head-on!

Therefore, when she finished her break and walked towards the concert hall from the piano room, the smile on her face was almost impossible to hide.

If it weren't for her own image, she could almost laugh out loud in public.

Tell everyone in the world how lucky she was.

It was precisely because she finally lined up in front of He Shen to play that she felt that this slightly dim sky seemed so cute and bright.

She quickly followed the pace of the crowd, stood behind her teacher and other supporters, walked to the vicinity of the concert hall, smiled at everyone, then bowed slightly, and walked into the concert hall.

After entering the concert hall, she quickly looked around and found that there was no He Shen around, so she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, her expression immediately became extremely serious.

Her whole temperament changed immediately. She quickly received all the previous joy and happiness in her heart. With an extremely stable posture, she walked to the top of the concert hall and came to the backstage of the concert hall.

When Kobayashi Aishi entered, the other two contestants had also arrived at their respective positions.

When all the contestants arrived and the judges entered their respective positions, the concert hall downstairs also opened ticket inspection.

The wall behind the concert hall was not particularly soundproof, so Kobayashi Aishi could clearly hear the sound of people in the concert hall walking into their seats.

There were also many discussions in unknown languages.

These sounds made Kobayashi Aishi immediately realize that she was now on the stage of the finals!

In any case, she was now a contestant in the finals, and countless cameras around her were watching her every move.

Kobayashi Ai immediately calmed down and made her behavior as gentle as possible, showing a perfect Yamato Nadeshiko's posture.

She just stood in the middle of the concert hall, looking gently at the door of the concert hall backstage, waiting for her to go on stage.

Click...

At this moment, the door at the entrance of the concert hall backstage was opened, and a group of people in black suits followed a man and walked towards the backstage.

Andrei Boreko, chief conductor of the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra!

He quickly walked to the backstage of the concert hall, looked at Kobayashi Ai standing on the side, smiled at her, and nodded slightly to other staff around.

The staff around immediately understood and reached out to open the slightly heavy backstage door of the concert hall.

Everyone from the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra immediately walked down the stairs to the stage.

No one said a word of nonsense, just like a black stream, extremely quiet and serious.

Soon, there were only countless cameras, staff responsible for opening the door, and Andrei in the backstage of the concert hall.

Andre looked at Kobayashi Aishi standing there, and couldn't help but smile helplessly at her extremely serious face without any nervousness.

Kobayashi Aishi, her level is very good and she is very serious.

But it's a pity...

Unless she plays that kind of super god effect in this game, it will be difficult for her to get a particularly good result.

After all, as a conductor, Andre has seen everyone's performance before the game.

He also knows what kind of effect each contestant wants to express for this Chopin piano concerto.

Andre looked at Kobayashi Aishi, couldn't help but sigh, stood up and patted her shoulder, took out the music score that Kobayashi Aishi had given him before from behind, and handed it to her.

"This is your music score. The competition will start soon. Do you have any other additional changes you want to make? If necessary, you can tell me at this time."

Kobayashi Aishi looked at Andre with a little surprise, but soon, she shook her head and spoke in a gentle tone.

"No, there is no modification. Let's proceed with the previous performance."

"In that case, let's do it this way."

Andre looked at Kobayashi Ai and said nothing more.

The concert hall was gradually becoming extremely quiet.

The sound of the strings of the symphony orchestra sounded in the concert hall, and the extremely strong resonance made all the audience shut up.

The competition is about to begin!

The host walked onto the stage with a few small cards and began to introduce the judges who came today to everyone.

At this time, all the judges have arrived at the competition site.

Whether it is the judges of the first and second rounds or the preliminaries.

They all arrived at the scene, waiting for the contestants to appear.

After introducing all the judges, the host spoke directly to everyone without any hesitation.

"Chopin International Piano Competition, first day, first contestant!"

"Japan, Kobayashi Ai!"

"Piano selection: Steinway D274"

"Work selection: Chopin's First Piano Concerto!"

Boom!

The applause rang out!

Everyone was clapping vigorously, looking forward to the appearance of Kobayashi Aishi.

Even though many people thought that Kobayashi Aishi might not get a very good finals ranking, but...

Kobayashi Aishi was a very rare contestant among these contestants who made the second attempt at the Chopin International Piano Competition.

Her pressure was much greater than that of other contestants.

Therefore, compared with the crushing of He Shen, everyone was also full of curiosity about whether Kobayashi Aishi could break through herself and make a qualitative leap.

Andre and Kobayashi Aishi, who was standing backstage in the concert hall, listened to the applause outside and immediately understood.

At this time, the time to go on stage had arrived.

Andre looked at the little Kobayashi Aishi in front of him, smiled, and stretched out his hand to Kobayashi Aishi with an extremely gentlemanly gesture.

"Please go ahead, we're ready to go on stage!"

"Yes!"

Kobayashi Ai took two deep breaths, looked at Andre beside her, and the other staff members who were paying special attention to her, and a little nervousness surged in her heart.

She had been thinking that she could finally get rid of He Shen's influence on her.

But now, let her stand on the stage of the finals alone, and the nervousness that she had forgotten before suddenly surged into her heart.

She is not young now, and she is almost the same as He Shen, and there is no chance to come again.

Therefore, she couldn't help but reach out and pinch the pendant on her chest, and her eyes gradually became very firm.

Now is her best time, He Shen will not put pressure on her, and she is still in the first position.

This position has a very big advantage for her.

She doesn't have to care about other factors around her at all, and can play all the effects she wants very seriously.

Therefore...

Kobayashi Ai took off the pendant on her chest, handed it to the staff beside her, looked at Andre in front of her, and nodded vigorously.

"Let's go on stage!"

After saying that, she walked towards the stage without any hesitation.

She stepped slowly onto the steps of the stage, and the applause that might have seemed a little dim before rang out again.

This time, it was not just the applause from the audience, but all the members of the orchestra also stood up and gave Kobayashi Ai a little applause of encouragement.

Kobayashi Ai quickly walked to the center of the stage, looking at everyone under the stage, the judges in the distance, and listening to the applause in her ears.

The slight tension in her heart gradually dissipated.

She now has no way out.

Therefore!

She is going to make a final charge towards the championship!

No matter whether she can succeed or not!

She bowed quickly to everyone, sat on her seat, quickly adjusted the height of the seat, and nodded slightly to the conductor who was already standing in the center of the stage.

The concert hall became particularly quiet at this moment.

Andre stood in the center of the stage, and after receiving Kobayashi Ai's signal, he immediately waved the baton in his hand to all the people in the Chopin Philharmonic Orchestra.

As soon as everyone got Andre's signal, they immediately raised their instruments.

Boom!

Chopin's First Piano Concerto, which sounded very fierce but with a hint of sweetness, instantly sounded from the stage.

The emotions were not particularly fierce at the beginning, but soon, Kobayashi Ai appeared.

She did not ask the band to make many changes to the part before she played.

All the changes she made were related to herself.

For her, when Chopin was in her hometown, looking at the infinitely prosperous hometown, the love in his heart must have been extremely strong!

Therefore, for her, what can be interpreted more in Chopin's First Piano Concerto is sweetness and love.

Her hands floated on the piano keyboard, and all the timbres did not give full power when they were firmly pressed down.

She was controlling her music and became extremely soft.

It can't be said to be good, nor can it be said to be bad.

This is the feeling she wants to interpret.

This is the Chopin First Piano Concerto that she feels in her heart.

Everyone was immersed in her interpretation, feeling the beauty she brought to the music.

I have to say that Kobayashi Ai's Chopin is also beautiful.

Her control over the relatively light power reached its peak at this moment.

It was like a feather, tickling people's hearts and making them itch.

It seemed that the grand occasion in Poland at that time could be fully seen!

Not only that...

She gave more changes to the timbre when interpreting the music.

The band required the sound of instruments that were as soft as hers to be slightly smaller, so that her music could come out more.

Let those heavy bass instruments serve as support to support her dream-like music.

No one spoke, no one discussed.

Discussing in a low voice at this time was completely a blasphemy to music.

Kobayashi Ai is worthy of being a contestant who entered the finals of the Chopin International Piano Competition in two rounds.

She had been suppressed by He Shen before and had not been able to get a particularly good score, but her own strength was still not weak.

She was still a more eye-catching presence among all the people in the audience.

The music flows quickly, and the sounds of the contrabassoon, French horn, and double bass give the music more layers.

The violin, piano, trumpet, flute, clarinet, etc. give a high level of softness.

In the middle level, the piano bass part cooperates with other instruments to ensure the breadth of the foundation.

Everything is very normal and very beautiful.

There is almost no problem.

It can even be said that Kobayashi Ai's performance gave this game a very good start.

Even those who didn't like Kobayashi Ai very much and thought that her opening performance on the first day might not bring color to the game had to admit it.

After getting rid of He Shen's influence, Kobayashi Ai's strength is still very strong.

She is worthy of being a player who can withstand He Shen's pressure and advance to the finals.

The music, without any stop, takes away everyone's concept of time.

It's like enjoying something you like, enjoying it, and time passes.

Everyone has no feeling at all, and when they find out, time has come to the end.

The music has come to an end.

After Kobayashi Ai played the last note, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Her journey to the Chopin International Piano Competition finally came to an end.

And this time, she can finally demonstrate all her strength, her strongest strength!

She is really looking forward to how far she can go!

She looked at the light above her head, which was shaking so much that it hurt her eyes.

She felt the sweat dripping from her forehead and back because of her extremely serious piano playing.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly.

She looked at the wall behind her and seemed to see He Shen sitting in the lounge.

So many times before, He Shen had always suppressed her with all his strength.

Now, she also hopes that He Shen can feel...

the pressure she brought!

And He Shen, at this moment, also looked at the stage.

There were two walls in between, but He Shen still looked in the direction of the stage, and it seemed that he could see Kobayashi Ai's smile.

His face did not change at all, even though he also heard the challenge letter from Kobayashi Ai to him at the end.

For He Shen, the music that was supposed to be pure was mixed with some personal things, which was undoubtedly a huge failure.

However...

He Shen stood up from the chair and rubbed his hands.

He would face this challenge head-on!

He would tell everyone how powerful his most perfect work is!
