Qin Jian moved, at a clever timing.

When the flying notes rushed fiercely to the bottom of the stage, several people in the judges' table seemed to have some illusions.

Like Branhano, they had seen it at the competition fifteen years ago.

Sitting in front of the piano are two identical young figures.

They come from the same place and have the same talent.

The same opening track was chosen, and the same opening method was adopted.

So much so that Argerich's first reaction in her mind was: Qin Jian came up with another imitation trick in the preliminary competition! This time it was the Chinese pianist she admired very much.

Argerich was not alone in this idea, but also included some in the contestant table and a few senior audience members in front of the screen.

In the preliminary stage, Qin Jian's performance did leave some shadows in their hearts, and at that time, some judges and Xiao Fan confessed their shame against this kind of 'imitating others' behavior in the competition.

But after just eight bars of music, everyone who had this idea couldn't help but change their faces.

The development of music has changed, and the indescribable motive is to whizz away where no one expected.

The hall was full of musical notes for a while.

On the black-and-white keyboard in the center of the stage, a pair of large hands play an eight-bar prelude like a dragonfly, and then cut to the theme.

The melody in the upper register is sometimes impassioned, sometimes low and long.

The accent marks in each measure seem to be carved with edges and corners, with emotional reinforcement and extension.

The music leads the piece to tension in an instant, and then tends to fall back in an instant.

Thus a huge torrent was formed, with ups and downs.

With the passionate tall figure in front of the piano, gradually everyone's heartstrings are swept into this torrent.

At this time, the whole hall seems to be immersed in waves.

The dislocation of the melody and frustration of the opening constructs a contrasting opening for Qin Jian's revolutionary etude.

This is also Chopin's writing technique that he excels in composing music.

The combination of the two presents a very dramatic stage effect in the opening of Qin Jian.

On that basis alone, he has won by half a margin over Robert.

The spectators watched the game, listened to Chopin, listened to the excitement, and they enjoyed the process.

The contestants will think outside of the music.

And the judges have to look for clues under the surface of the music, because there is hidden in the careful thinking of the contestants.

The competition has entered the first round, and the judges' perspective on the contestants is no longer limited to the basic skills and live performance of the contestants, at least in this round they will add another assessment to the technical performance of the contestants - musical processing.

Musical processing is the expression of the core of the work.

And from the point of view of the work.

Among Chopin's many etudes, Revolution is undoubtedly the most exciting and expressive of the inner tension of Chopin's music.

Based on the principle of a single theme and a consistent repertoire style, this work has become a frequent visitor to the Chopin Competition.

In almost every competition, more than two contestants will perform the piece in the preliminary round or the first round.

It is usually mentioned that Chopin, the 'finale' of Op10, is inevitably said to be born from that sudden revolutionary event.

The fall of Warsaw, a devastation of life.

So how should a work born of such a bad luck be performed?

From what perspective should the performers experience the emotions of the poet when he is composing?

This can all be attributed to the professional problems in the field of modern piano.

One can hear versions played by various pianists from all periods.

Whether it was Corto in the first half of the twentieth century, Rubinstein in the second half of the twentieth century, or the successive champions of the Chopin Competition.

It's just that there are few versions that are considered absolute classics by everyone.

There are factors such as the background of the times, the continuous development of piano technology, the changes in recording technology, and even the continuous self-denial of new factors by performers.

All of this speaks to the complexity of the piece.

For such a work, every contestant, performer, and judge has their own thoughts.

'Endless cry to silent despair' - this is Qin Jian's understanding of this work at this stage.

He condensed all the emotions and thoughts of the work into the treble part of his right hand.

In both techniques for the treble voice, the octave and the chord, he uses a 'push-down' method to cushion the lower key.

This is an uncommon technique that he did not demonstrate in the preliminary rounds.

With the power of his fingertips, every time he touches the keys, he will form a blurred sound, adding an extended timbre and aura to the sound, while the music expresses something more profound beyond hysteria.

It's like a strong sound followed by a silent cry.

And every silent cry is paving the way for the next upcoming emotional climax.

The high mood can always relax and fall back in a moment.

This rigorous cycle also makes the internal structure of the work tightly cohesive and full of tension.

In the last four bars, the music bursts out one last time from a weakened lightness.

On the stage, Qin Jian's expression suddenly tightened, and his hands slid rapidly from the height to the lowest.

Ten fingers are constricted and jerked up sharply, and the keys are dropped with the fingertips!

"Oooo

Finally, the last two sets of notes on the score are completed with a strong ending chord of two FFF dynamics.

After the aftermath of the last shout subsided, every pair of eyes in the audience were fixed on him.

Qin Jian didn't rush to withdraw his hands, as if the music was still going on

He looked at his hands with a solemn expression.

One second, two seconds... Until five seconds have passed.

When the stage fell into complete silence, the invisible pause brought his opening work to an end.

Raise your hand and close your arm.

The two movements were accompanied by a light gasp, and Qin Jian seemed to have unlocked the stage breath locked by the music.

"Whew-"

This moment.

The hearts of the audience seemed to sink slowly.

And the picture of the music is still up and down on the stage, a shout followed by a silence

In such a revolution, there is no unspeakable grief, only silent reverberation.

Shock.

From the dramatic opening to the enigmatic ending, Qin Jian almost subverted the image he left on people in the preliminary stage.

From the judges' seat to the audience's seat, all eyes seem to be looking at the figure in front of the piano from a distance with different angles.

Fang Zongyao seemed to see the mysterious Qin Jian on the Huayun Race come back.

Backstage, Duan Ran looked at the big screen and was secretly excited.

On the screen, Qin Jian picked up a towel and wiped his palms, then raised his hand and started playing again.

The glittering arpeggios unfold slowly, and the melody of the shepherd boy piccolo is like a starry dot.
