725. The Unexpected Scene, Who Was Underestimated Before the Race?
Five players, five times Xiao Yi.
That's it for today's program.
There were no female players, only male players from Shikoku today.
Regardless of the final outcome, this match is sure to be a hard-fought matchup between men.
...
The four-minute orchestra prelude ends for a moment.
"Wow!—"
Edmundo pressed the first tone, the volume was not strong, and it was mixed with an indomitable momentum.
...
He changed the repertoire privately, and originally he and his teacher had already decided to enter the finals to play Xiao Er.
But after the third round of performances, he realized that he had a physical problem, and in the third round he tried too hard to prove that he was too emotional.
He thought that if he continued to choose Xiao Er in the final, he would most likely let himself fall into passivity on the field.
In the contrast of musical moods, Xiao Er is not Xiao Yi's opponent, he knows this very well.
It wasn't until the draw came out that he decided to change the repertoire for the finals.
Be sure to change.
Because he is in the middle of the game in the order of 'Z', and the four people behind him are all dangerous in his opinion.
Especially Adams and Qin Jian, who appeared first and second from the bottom, these two have been boss-like existences for all other players since the preliminary round.
This is no exception in Edmundo's heart, so he adjusted the track to Xiao Yi, just to fight against this order of appearance, and to make up for his overdrawn emotional state.
At the same time, he also has a firm voice in his heart, and he is really playing Chopin.
He was a Pole, a Polish who grew up listening to Chopin,
...
Halfway through the first movement, Edmundo took off his glasses and showed a different performance from the previous three rounds.
First of all, let's talk about the musical qualities.
In the first round, if you ask which of the five Polish players who made it to the finals was the most characteristic.
Anyone who has even the slightest insight into Chopin's music will give the same answer "Edmundo".
From the second round onwards, the young Polish, who was mistaken for the most characteristic, began to show his playing qualities on stage.
In the third round, the opponent directly presented the wonderful sonata and mazurka together in succession as a champion.
At that time, he was already one of the real candidates for the championship in the eyes of the media public.
What conquered him was the unique personality of his playing.
He seems to be able to manipulate Chopin's music.
In today's first movement, he plays like a teenager singing poetry, and except for a strong note in the attack, he is weak in the music and volume at the beginning.
Although the sound is small, the details of the image portrayed by the music are clearly displayed.
Then, as the theme of the presentation appears, his performance begins to have a clear sense of direction, and the details of the early laying gradually begin to pull up the tension of the whole movement.
In the development department, the harmonic effects of the piano are directly enveloped over the orchestra.
Hazy beauty, temperamental beauty, the beauty of Polish music is unmistakable.
The layout of the first 10 minutes is all revealed at this moment.
Edmundo didn't use too much effort to catch the audience, especially the few judges on the jury bench who were not very optimistic about him before the start.
They were impressed by the mental movement that Edmundo embodied in his performances.
Of the six contestants yesterday, Ricky was the only one who was able to fully integrate musical ideas into the performance.
With just one movement, Edmundo brought a complete surprise to the scene.
Branhano's heart sank halfway, and Andrzee on the side was still smiling.
...
By the second movement, beads of sweat could be seen on Edmundo's forehead.
He wiped his forehead and stepped on the orchestra to play
Xiao Yi's second movement is a masterpiece of both classical and romanticism.
Edmundo took full advantage of this, playing every ornamental melody appropriately.
There is no excessive embellishment, everything is clear and natural, like a middle-aged person talking lightly.
The whole movement ends with this faint emotion.
He makes sense to play the second movement as an emotional over-movement.
...
At the beginning of the third movement, the pent-up emotions that had been dormant throughout the movement burst out.
In the Allegro rondo, every touch of his keys is like a fresh and gorgeous spring of water.
Under the stage lights, his enthusiastic ups and downs seemed to let the audience see the figure in the third round.
But to the disappointment of some, they didn't feel the passionate, powerful momentum.
Edmundo becomes slower and slower in the subsequent performances of the third movement, as the volume of the orchestra gradually increases, and his volume seems to become smaller and smaller in contrast.
But on the judges' seat, the eyes of the judges became brighter and brighter.
...
During the backstage break, Qin Jian looked at Edmundo on the screen, and the confusion in his heart gradually turned into an uneasiness.
It's uneasy.
He thought that the other party would have a big emotional outburst in the last movement, even if it couldn't go beyond the third round, but it should definitely have an emotional sublimation.
But the other side not only did not, but also returned to the most traditional Polish school of playing.
Looking back at the three movements of the other party as a whole, Qin Jian's heartbeat seemed to miss a beat.
He finally realized where the uneasiness was coming from.
Throughout the whole work, strictly speaking, the other party's work does not play like the imagination of the piano concerto in everyone's minds, the volume is not loud enough, and the cooperation with the orchestra is not imposing.
Sometimes it is like the gorgeous singing of an opera singer, and sometimes it is like a Schubert's art song in the bedroom.
But this is the kind of performance, after the other party dropped the last note, Qin Jian felt an unprecedented feeling
"I don't take the initiative to cater to the orchestra, I play carefully but the volume is not loud enough, and I play casually without losing my opinion. ”
He muttered to himself, "All this... Isn't it Chopin himself?"
"Whoop————————————
Applause from the audience came from the loudspeaker and outside the wall at the same time
Edmundo in front of the piano gave Qin Jian an extremely strange sense of picture at this moment.
He frowned, and sighed.
"What's wrong?" Duan Ran on the side said with concern, "Why are you sighing?"
"Hmm-"
With a long hum, he casually hugged Duan Ran, stretched his brows and asked, "Duan Duan, how did he play?"
"It's average," Duan Ran felt really average, "the first two movements are fine, but the third movement is too scattered." ”
Qin Jianba pursed his mouth, and after a while, he spat lightly: "I still underestimate him." ”
This time, the student frowned.
On the screen, the host appears again.
"Keep listening. ”
Qin Jian paused: "Look at how Fang Zongyao handles it, Edmundo has a problem for him." ”
