The world's number one pianist

It's a pity that He Shen won't be able to use this reward. After all, the professional-level works he has now belong to the entire set of Chopin etudes and are not listed separately. read

Those individual works, such as Chopin's three extra professional-level works, have been merged into one master-level work by himself and are still in the warehouse untouched.

But He Shen didn't care about these things.

His current direction of specialization is in the direction of Chopard, not in a big and broad direction.

From Chopin's ballades, to Chopin's preludes, and finally to Chopin's etudes, all of these are laying the foundation for Chopin's other works.

If there is a chance, for example, he can enter a university to become a piano teacher, then he will be qualified to be recommended by the university to participate in the Chopin International Piano Competition as a global candidate.

Submit your video to the Chopard Organizing Committee, and after final review, you will have the right to perform at the Chopin Concert Hall in Poland once.

This is the direction of his current efforts. The extra Liszt etudes are not particularly important to him.

But having said that, Yue Li's strength is a bit powerful, and it's not at the same level as in the preliminary round.

As expected, Yue Li is known as the young pianist representing Wuzhou...

He Shen looked at Yue Li in front of him and nodded silently.

He never expected that under such circumstances, Yue Li could actually reach the level of expertise by relying on his own understanding of Liszt.

In fact, according to He Shen's feeling, Yue Li's understanding of Liszt is already very close to a master level.

If you want to break through the master, you still need a few final steps.

It sounds like the gap is quite big, but it's actually not that big. After all, as far as He Shen has ever heard, there are very few people who can reach the level of expertise.

Yue Li looked at He Shen in front of him and felt that he seemed to be able to understand the performance he had just performed, and couldn't help but smile.

"Yes, you can hear so much, so my performance was not in vain. If that's the case, then I'm looking forward to your performance."

After that, he turned around and left without looking back, walking towards the outside of the lounge, preparing to find a seat in the Central Concert Hall.

As members of the competition, they are still entitled to a seat in the audience.

Although this location is definitely not a particularly good location, it is still possible to listen.

With Yue Li's departure, the environment in the entire lounge gradually began to relax a lot. Many people slowly exhaled and continued to wait for their turn.

The game was going very fast, and most of the people had already finished the game, so the entire rest room seemed empty.

"No. 14, He Shen!"

The staff member opened the door and shouted to He Shen in the room. He looked at the registration form in his hand, then looked at He Shen against it, nodded, and said to He Shen.

"He Shen, you are next, get ready to go on stage."

"good."

He Shen nodded, stood up, patted his clothes that looked a little wrinkled, walked toward the backstage of the contestants, and stood at the sliding door behind the stage, stopping.

The previous player had finished playing. Amid sparse applause, he opened the door, sighed and left.

"Golden Piano Award, Contestant No. 14, Jiangzhou, He Shen"

"Repertoire, Chinese Works: Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon"

"Self-selected piece: Chopin's Piano Ballade No. 3."

When the curtain call ended and applause sounded, the staff beside He Shen immediately opened the sliding door in front of him.

Looking at the extremely empty concert hall and the spotlight like the scorching sun, He Shen took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

Amidst the applause of the crowd, he walked out very calmly, walked to the middle of the stage, and bowed slightly to everyone.

boom!

The applause is even louder!

In the front row of the third floor of the auditorium, Zhao Zitong clapped with great excitement. Suddenly he found that he seemed a little too excited. He coughed and took back his hands, pretending that nothing happened.

Zhou San leaned on the railing in front and watched He Shen's appearance with great interest. He did not expect that He Shen actually chose Caiyun Zhuiyue that he recommended.

"It's interesting that he actually chose Caiyun Chaiyue. Either he was very confident, or he completely gave up on this round of Chinese works and was preparing to get a stable score and win the championship by relying on his own songs."

"He Shen, which one will you be?"

…

The group of judges sitting in the judges' seat were not particularly calm. The short-haired female judge who had always been particularly fond of He Shen before patted the table in front of her with great excitement. After seeing that no one around her noticed her, she said .

"Look, I know that he can definitely enter the semi-finals. I can even tell you that he may have a chance to get the finals!"

"A chance of the finals? It's interesting. There are very few people who can be chosen by you to enter the finals." Another judge on the side said with interest.

"Have you reviewed his preliminaries before? What should I say? Did he play well?"

"More than good, what is this player's name... Oh, yes! He Shen, this He Shen plays Chopard very well, basically it feels like perfection!"

"Chopin plays very well, so what you mean is that he will choose to give up Chinese works and focus on his own choice of music?"

"Who knows? When I heard that his own choice of music was Chopin's Third Ballade, I began to look forward to it. I really don't know what kind of interpretation this contestant can make in this round?"

...

All the judges discussed in a low voice, waiting for He Shen's performance.

He Shen did not make too many entanglements. After waiting for the applause to stop, he sat on the piano stool and adjusted the height up and down and the distance between the front and back.

When his arm was placed on the piano, it was not too high or too low, and he could easily transmit the strength of his arm to the piano, and then he nodded silently.

He reached out and picked up the white towel on the side, quickly wiped the keys, and then took out a lollipop from his trousers pocket, carefully peeled off the outer layer, and put it in his mouth.

This time, although some people still questioned whether He Shen was stalling time by eating the lollipop, the voice was obviously much smaller.

Feeling the sweetness coming from the tip of his tongue, He Shen took a deep breath, letting the air flow through his nasal cavity into his throat, stimulating his spirit.

Then, he locked his eyes, raised his arms, looked at the black and white keys in front of him, and pressed them hard.

Ding!
