Chapter 219: Mozart's Fragrances

The sound of the orchestra finally quieted down in the brightness, and Katsuo Yamaguchi began to play the part that had just started.

As soon as the clear main theme appeared, it was like a warm breeze blowing across the stage, warm and pleasant.

After the intense prelude, the warm K242 piano part undoubtedly brought a sense of tranquility to the audience.

Katsuo Yamaguchi's expression has been changing with the ups and downs of the melody, sometimes longing, sometimes intoxicated.

It is as if the whole person is playing the lead role and making a cameo appearance in the most devout audience.

The first movement ends slowly with a dialogue between piano and oboe.

Katsuo Yamaguchi raised his hand, and the audience was silent, then looked up at the podium, and Kobayashi Zell gave him an affirmative look.

Then leaned forward, his chin protruding slightly, his eyes swept over the orchestra, his mouth understood a few times as if he was muttering something, and his right hand shook again in mid-air.

His magic wand slid in an arc again.

The strings again gracefully opened the second movement.

The Andante movement in F major continues the bright colors of C major.

Kobayashi's treatment of the woodwinds is exquisite, and he fully excavates the subtle and colorful interactions between the various voices, calmly balancing the development of the music.

Under his control, the orchestra has always maintained a balance of too long for one minute and too short for one minute minus.

It's all waiting for the piano part to join again.

And as the sound of the piano took over the tail of the string group and began to embellish and change the first theme, Kobayashizel's baton was slightly horizontal.

The volume of the entire orchestra immediately decreased by half and sank to the bottom.

The sound of the piano ripples through this soft undulation until the end of the second movement.

As the minuet unfolds in the third movement, Katsuo Yamaguchi smiles and puffs out his chest, his ten fingers dancing as if he were standing on a black-and-white stage.

The palace-style dance steps, under the golden mist, are light and solemn.

The music jumps from G major to A major, and from A major back to G major.

Over and over again, at the end it returns to C major.

The once-sharp color changes bring out the essence of the rondo.

"Katsuo Yamaguchi's Mozart is like an opera in one act, each movement is full of unique charm, built on the harmony of the orchestra, seemingly light, sometimes a little careless, but the natural flow of this is actually difficult to control. ”

"Clear, concise, and emotionally varied, his study of Mozart is worthy of recognition. ”

"He got my first vote. ”

On the judges' bench, a judge next to Riegel, also from Europe, told him.

Rigal smiled when he heard this, "There are still nine players behind, don't worry." ”

....

In the glorious end of the strings, Kobayashi Zell waved his hands.

The hall fell silent.

The end of the song.

Katsuo Yamaguchi stood up to face the audience and bowed deeply to the applause.

Then he left the stage with Kobayashi Zel, and then the orchestra members also left the stage in an orderly manner.

After the wonderful opening of the local players, the next player was ushered in.

The second player was a young player from South Korea

In the repertoire, the young Korean contestants chose a hunting etude from Schumann's Paganini Caprice.

From the jury's point of view, this piece may seem too unpopular.

In comparison, compared with Liszt's second creation of hunting, Schumann is slightly lacking in this aspect, the musical texture is thin, and the melodic lines are not agile enough.

However, instead of the great shock of Paganini's original work, the Korean player's interpretation is delicate and gentle, highlighting his own sensitive musical personality.

After the end of the song, many people changed their opinions about this work.

In the following piano concerto No. 11 with the KBS orchestra, he still maintained his own unique performance style.

Composed shortly after Mozart left Salzburg for Vienna's independence, it has long been known as 'the beginning of Wolfgang's further quest for individuality.' ’

The piano main part of the work distills the dialogue between the various parts of the orchestra in a fast cluster, and in the second movement, with the theme of Alberti bass, the Korean players play with great vigor and tension to show the youthful vigor of Mozart when he first arrived in Vienna.

End of the show.

Applause rang out again.

"Two sexually interesting works, very good. ”

A bearded old man from Israel did not hesitate to lightly tick the score sheet of the Korean player in front of him.

His first vote was cast.

...

Under the applause, one after another works by composers from different eras were used by the contestants as their opening dishes, and Mozart's works from different periods were also interpreted in subsequent Mozart's works.

The younger contestants are more adept at turning erudition into the opposite of flamboyance, turning cadenza into a brilliant monologue throughout the musical passages with the orchestra in the ensemble.

Mozart, on the other hand, is a more experienced stage player, who is usually not overly fickle and unanimous, and their musical views are always unified from Mozart's witty words to violent conflicts.

Perhaps it is the cultural background and national genes of different regions and countries that create different styles of musical aesthetics, and the power of the soil can always find the slightest crack in the tight structure of the music, even if it is a performer of the same style, it can also make the ears of the audience see the difference from the subtlety.

"It's probably the innate nature of music culture. ”

Qin Jian couldn't say whether the idea that came out of his mind out of nowhere was accurate, but just like Shen Qingci's words, aside from the judges' opinions and eyes, the musical works presented by each contestant were excellent, but it just happened to be in the arena of the competition at this moment.

"It's all worth learning. ”

After the sixth player from Singapore finished playing, the host announced a 15-minute intermission.

In the noisy backstage, the staff is busy again.

Qin Jian got up and moved his body, then twisted his shoulders and left his rest room, and turned around in the background, taking a look at that.

It has to be said that as the game progressed, he became more and more relaxed.

Fifteen minutes later, a quarter past seven.

The game is starting again.

Under applause.

The seventh player to appear was still from South Korea, but interestingly, this contestant adjusted the order of the repertoire.

First of all, Mozart's concerto was played, and the repertoire of his choice was placed in the second piece.

"Is that okay?"

Qin Jian returned to his rest room and looked at the big screen and said curiously.

That's when it happened.

As soon as there was a knock on the door, Qin Jian looked over and hurriedly stood up.

Xia Dong wore a tuxedo, and walked in with two boxes of lunch boxes on the left and one on the right.

"Eat first. ”
