Sister A's proposal was immediately responded to by Andrzey.

"I'm also in favor of playing the polonaise for a couple of kids again, it's been a few days and some details need to be replayed. ”

Seeing Andrzej speak, Argerich looked at Branhano with satisfaction.

The two veterans have spoken, and those who have opinions on this cannot say anything, and this is also one of the rules for the selection of individual awards, 'When two or more judges request a replay of the scene, a notary public will carry out the operation. ’

Branhano motioned for the old notary to play the polonaise of the five men one by one.

The first to be played was the polonaise of contestant No. 9.

...

The time was spent in five very different polonaise pieces, during which the adjacent judges occasionally whispered to each other.

Argerich didn't communicate with anyone, and her natural ability allowed her to recall those days without having to listen to the recordings, and she had already decided on the best people for polonnaise.

She just needs to take an hour to gather her thoughts and think about some questions.

In the five consecutive years of Chopin's competition, she has seen all kinds of 'situations', and even some 'events' that the outside world does not know about. ’

The jury of the Chopin Competition, which appeared to be superficially amiable to the outside world, was in fact seriously divided internally since 1980.

In her opinion, the jury of the last three sessions under the leadership of Andrzej has not only not improved, but has become more and more like a private institution of the Chopin Institute.

However, Andrzej's slogan of developing Chaussie's influence in the world has received strong support from the Polish government, and he has also made great achievements.

"Chopin and His European Music Festival", "Annual Chopin Birthday Concert" and "International Chopin Music Week" are all resounding international music events planned by Andrzey.

Today, the Chopin Competition is no longer a simple competitive competition a few decades ago, but has developed into a cultural symbol full of infinite added value.

Andrzej has drawn more attention to this area, including many conglomerates and politicians.

The question then arises, is all this really good for the future of Chopin's competition?

Sister Ah is worried about the future of Chopin's competition.

Until this change, when she saw a series of reform measures made by Branhano after taking office, she couldn't help but praise Branhano for his courage.

Although because of the 14th competition, she has always disliked Branhano in her heart.

Reducing the number of Polish and Russian judges on the jury, and boldly using young international Chopin pianists as judges, these two jury rectification measures alone made Sister Ah have a different opinion of him.

Later, from the audition to the preliminary round, and now to the main competition, Branhanu is working hard to make the competition more transparent and fair.

Argerich looked at it.

Especially at the end of the second round, when Branhano boldly opened the sixth order in order to ensure that the last two players would advance to the third round, she was moved.

The situation was clear to anyone with a discerning eye, and among the two contestants he wanted to protect not only the Polish girl, but also the disabled Syrian youth.

She believed that the Poles must have a way to get the Polish girl to stay, but Branhano didn't do it in the way she least wanted to see.

She has to say that under Branhano's leadership, the overall judgment of the Polish judges this year was too objective, even so objective that she felt that it was a harsh treatment for the Polish players.

Robert's exit in the first round caused a strong reaction from the Warsaw media, and she also felt that it was a pity, but she knew that Robert would not make it to the second round.

After the second round, there were only two Polish players left, one of whom was still struggling to qualify.

The results of the third round are yet to be announced, but she is almost certain that the player who struggled to advance is out.

This means that there will only be one Polish player in the final.

All this seems reasonable, but there is an anomaly behind this reasonableness.

Just because she slapped the table doesn't mean she's still the one she slammed the door and left fifteen years ago, but the sensitivity in her heart still hasn't diminished.

So she needed to think, and at the same time she secretly prayed that the Syrian youth would make it to the finals, and she did not expect the judges to award the Polonaise award to the poor young man.

She only hopes that he will make the cut.

She sighed in her heart that maybe it was really about some political issue, and the Russian judges had just shown a more silent attitude towards the Syrian young contestants than she expected.

But what can she do at this point?

...

Forty-five minutes passed quickly, and the moment the No. 57 player turned around on the projector and the strings of the Steinway broke break, the picture froze.

In the conference room, which had quieted down, there seemed to be a crisp 'hum-'

Argerich offered to replay the five-man match, and she should have said a few words after the recording, but she remained silent.

It doesn't seem like there's much to argue about.

But the voting session was not omitted, and Taribek nominated 42 and 57 for the final Polonaise, which most of the judges acquiesced.

The Russian judges knew that the No. 57 contestant was there, and Ivanov didn't have the slightest chance.

Moreover, judging from the comparison just now, it is true that the No. 42 and No. 57 players played better than the other three.

Seeing that there were no objections, Branhano stood up to preside over the vote.

"Hmmm. ”

15:2。

Contestant No. 57 defeated Contestant No. 42 with a crushing force and won the individual award for Polonaise.

Only Taribek Box Deng Taishan voted for No. 42, and even Argerich voted for No. 57.

This confused Andrzey, who had thought that Argerich had a seizure because No. 42 had been ignored during the discussion phase, but now it seems that the other party's intentions are not there.

The old notary recorded the gap in the results of the ballot box, and Andrzej looked in Argerich's direction, intentionally or unintentionally.

Argerich looked at him at the same time.

The two of them just bumped into each other across the round table.

Andrzej then gave a gentlemanly smile, and Argerich responded with a charming smile.

"Ahem. ”

An unintentional cough interrupted the two of them.

Branhano got up again.

The scene fell silent again as he got up, because everyone knew that the next step was to win the grand prize for the mazurka.

A contestant once said, 'The Mazurka Prize should be the most prestigious prize in the Chopin competition after the gold medal.' ’

That's right, and perhaps it's for this reason that Mazurka has been in the game for two consecutive terms.

As one of the most splendid jewels of Polish national music culture, the mazurka is one of the most crowned in the world.

Peking Opera in China, Mazurka in Poland.

"Write down the candidates.

"Everyone. ”

Branhano's voice fell, and Auger was the first to put pen to paper.

Then one judge after another moved.

Soon the sound of brushing filled the conference room again.

This time, Branhano was the last to put pen to paper.
