"The first group to appear in this round, Natsuki Aso/Shuichi Sato, from Japan, repertoire, Ravel Mother Goose Suite, designated piano, Yamah. ”

As the first opening of the final group, it was a popular group from the local area, and as the broadcast sound fell, a lot of cheers rang out in the hall.

Under applause.

Natsuki Aso, who was dressed in an orange nude dress, slowly walked out of the backstage, and his bold and stunning outfit once again pushed the atmosphere of the scene to a small ** before the music was remembered.

And the little fat man Shuichi standing beside her still had a simple face, but his afterglow kept sweeping towards the graceful figure beside him.

Take a bow.

Seated.

The audience was silent.

Act I, Sleeping Beauty Pavan.

Natsuki Aso raised his hand gracefully and slowly, and his white fingers crossed the bass range.

A low and hazy melody floated out, delicate and beautiful, full of poetry.

With her ethereal gaze on the big screen, the musical statement is accentuated, and nursery rhymes full of innocence and fantasy fill the air.

......

This Impressionist work was originally a suite for children based on five fairy tale themes.

Ravel, the creator, once said: 'I wrote this suite to evoke the poetry of childhood. ’

Natsuki Aso's pure and straightforward playing technique is just right to abandon superfluous skills, and it does sound like a different kind of childlike feeling.

.....

The music is developing one by one.

With the addition of Shuichi Sato, the visual sense of the music instantly feels like entering another world.

With the cooperation of two voices.

The crisp treble tremolo is like a bird in the treetops of the forest, chirping non-stop.

And the bass melody, which has almost no key characteristics, resembles a dwarf lost in the forest.

The bass melody follows the trills that change position, like a bird guiding the dwarf home.

In this process, Natsuki Aso's expression changes again and again on the big screen, as if he is really in a fairy tale of music.

From the imitation of loneliness to the emergence of hope, she interprets the understanding of this music with her eyes.

Then a series of cheerful jumps leaped out.

The dialogue between two people and four hands in two pieces of music comes to life.

And just after the treble suddenly jumped three piercing chords in a row, it suddenly disappeared.

On the stage, the little fat man quietly stopped.

In the square inch of black and white crochet, only Aso Natsuki's hands were left again, and he lost his direction again.

A moment later.

The bass melody faded through the empty hall, as if it had lost its direction again.

At last.

In the weakening of one note after another, there was a complete stop.

The audience was silent.

In the silence, there may still be loneliness and helplessness.

Perhaps, there is also a hidden way home.

On the big screen.

Natsuki Aso smiled, but his expression was also complicated.

With the last finger she gently raised.

Act II, Little Thumb in the Forest.

Come to an end.

...

"She's so beautiful. ”

Looking at the big screen that was gradually cut off, Duan Ran muttered, turned his head to look at Qin Jian, only to find that the other party's locked gaze was also falling on the stage.

Then he pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Hey. ”

Duan Ran poked Qin Jian vigorously, "What about you?"

"Huh?" Qin Jian came back to his senses and turned his head in a daze, "What's wrong?"

"What do you want?" Duan Ran asked with a wink

"Duan Ran, are you familiar with this score?" Qin Jian asked rhetorically.

"Huh?" Duan Ran was a little surprised by Qin Jian's reaction, "I'm not familiar, I haven't been exposed to Impressionist works yet, is there any problem?"

With the music rising again in his ears, Qin Jian sighed deeply, "I was wondering if the blank bars after the bass part stopped just now were the rests specially written by Ravel, or the musical effects they designed themselves. ”

"Ah....?" Duan Ran was a little speechless.

"Impressionist works are always confusing, and I've heard the symphonic version of this suite, which depicts a fairy tale scene, but this is the first time I've heard the piano version played by four hands. ”

"This chubby bullet is really good. Saying that, Qin Jian seemed to remember a certain scene before the preliminary competition, and couldn't help but smile: "I praised him like this last time, but you don't seem to be very happy anymore." ”

"Why!"

Duan Ran snorted and turned his head, and his voice changed, "Then you tell me what kind of story this music is about." ”

"Act IV"

Qin Jian nodded critically, "Beauty and the Beast." ”

"Is that Beauty and the Beast?"

"It's the Beauty and the Beast. ”

......

Beauty and the Beast, based on the famous fairy tale by Madame Beaumont, was also adapted by Diney for the animation of the same name.

The handsome prince is turned into an ugly beast by magic, until one day he meets a beautiful maiden, true love comes to him, and finally the spell is lifted.

Ravel also extracted musical material from this romantic story.

He used a soft treble vocal melody to portray the girl's charming and light body steps, and used a lot of low and weird dissonance and bass sound effects to express the complex heart of the beast.

In the dense melody interspersed with high and low voices, he outlines the entire musical scene with musical materials.

"It's like you heard. ”

Qin Jian pursed his lips, "The only fly in the ointment is that Natsuki Aso should play the high-pitched part, and it seems more reasonable for the little fat man to play the part of the beast." ”

"No, it won't. ”

Duan Ran retorted, "I think the little fat bullet is very good. ”

"Uh.... Okay. ”

....

The music continued.

As the bright C major of Act V is played by the duo, the two voices echo in unison, echoing the music of the first few acts of the suite, the Sleeping Beauty awakens from the spinning wheel, the little finger finds her way home, the maiden lifts the spell of the prince, and the forest seems to come back to life.

At last.

Aso's undulating arms played a chord like a song, and the little fat man Shuichi quickly swept back and forth in the treble area with one hand, scraping back and forth like a silver bell.

In a glorious and satisfying atmosphere, the whole song ends.

"W-"

"Wow————"

...

"Whoa~~~~~

"Whoop~~~~~~~~

With the warm applause off the stage, the group players from the local area completely blew the horn of the ensemble group finals.

Not only were there cheers in the audience, but the players were full of admiration.

Even on the major live broadcast platforms, Natsuki Aso's name was swiped again, but this time the doubts were gone.

On the stage, with the exit of Natsuki Aso.

The players in each group took the stage one after another.

The second group, twin sisters from Singapore, presented a brilliant Schubert Fantasia in F minor.

The third group, a well-known young performer from India, and his students presented Dvořák's Slavic dances.

The fourth group of contestants, a young male duo from Fu Hua's bench, still performed Brahms's piano work, Waltz No. 21.

Wonderful performance.

It's taking turns.

...

"Let's go, let's go, it's almost us. ”
