"You can. ”

"I can. ”

The big and small fists of the cheers and puffs slammed into each other again.

Duan Ran took off her coat and walked into the corridor, walking towards her Chopin preliminary arena.

Behind her, Qin Jian hugged her coat and secretly prayed for her.

"Come on. ”

"We've agreed, see you in the final. ”

...

The final stage of the preliminary round is nearing the end, and the judges feel tired after 10 days of judging work, but there is no way, this is their job.

There are still three contestants left, and they can end their work for a while/

Looking at the information of player 07, Argerich found the names of two old friends.

'Shen Qingci' and 'Riegel. ’

"This kid has two amazing teachers. ”

Argerich moved his gaze to the two-inch photo next to the player's information, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

"It's a pretty girl. ”

At this moment, the No. 07 contestant dressed in white walked onto the stage generously.

The judges' bench fell silent.

Harnoville, who sat first on the left hand side of the judges' bench, looked at the girl carefully, trying to find something out of her.

Her identity is indeed special to him.

The rest of 'learning from Shen Qingci since childhood' alone is enough for him to pay attention to.

Take a bow.

Seated.

Duan Ran adjusted his breathing while adjusting the height of the piano bench.

When everything was ready, she closed her eyes slightly, and went through the order of the five tracks in her mind from beginning to end.

Open.

She raised her right hand, her index finger slowly dropping.

Finger down piano sounds.

"Phew........... Wow........ Wow... Phew...."

Steinway D-274s' castanets whispered.

"Weak. ”

This was the first reaction of the judges, it was too weak.

The same introduction, the same first sentence, if Qin Jian's performance is f, Duan Ran is pp.

The sound of the piano is unparalleled smooth,

"Slow. ”

This was the second reaction of the judges.

But from here, the judges' perspective has changed.

The Polish judges are ready and waiting for the next change in tempo, and they are big believers in the speed of Rubato freedom.

And the judges from all over the world also have their own perspectives.

When Duan Ran played the second half of the two-tone introduction at the same volume, what Deng Taishan noticed was the change in her fingertips under the volume balance.

Because under one force, the volume of two tones sounding at the same time must be greater than one tone, but at this moment, Duan Ran controlled the volume of two simultaneous sounds to be the same as the volume of the previous tone.

There will inevitably be a series of fingertip adjustments, because the volume from the beginning is pp.

Argerich also has her own perspective, from Baroque to Modernism, and her vast repertoire and her performances are equally international.

What she heard was the tonal subtlety that extended from the poles of each note.

This results from the fit between the piano and the player itself, and under the high degree of fit, the player recombines the dynamics and lengths of certain notes to produce a rich color variation.

Etudes, op. 25: No. 11 inaminor, Duan Ran's first post-track – Winter Wind.

Qin Jian was right, Duan Ran's east wind could catch any keen ear.

However, this is just an introduction, just an introduction. Let's play

After completing the performance of the introduction, Duan Ran closed cleanly.

Steinway's afterglow sent the last bit of sound in the air to a distance of 15 meters under the stage.

The picture freezes on the white, slender and slender left hand raised above the keys.

Argerich noticed, Branhano noticed, and the judges on the left noticed.

In the spotlight, on the left hand, there is a peculiarly curved little finger.

It is like a wild seed being carried by the boundless wind to a piece of clean soil, and it bears a unique appearance.

"Wow !!!!!"

Without giving the judges an extra second, it was this unusual little finger that struck the first roar of the thunderball.

In an instant, the cold oriental girl in front of the piano turned into an angry lion, turning the field around the piano into her own territory.

Each Qin Jian was like a subject under her ten fingers, still relying on her deployment.

Absolute volume comes from absolute power.

Along with the theme of the high left hand, Duan Ran's right wrist had already pressed under the plane of the keys, and the five fingers jumped high and fiercely at the outermost extension of the key feet.

Every inch of her wrist movement was bound to splash a cold stream of ice.

Absolute power comes from absolute control.

Duan Ran's tight control and the height of his wrists and the speed of movement focused all the remaining attention on the fingertips of his ten fingers.

As A minor gradually moves towards E major, Duan Ran's tempo is getting faster and faster.

If her introduction is a representation of slow and weak, then her theme is fast and strong.

This contrast between simplicity and brutality creates a fascinating tension between the quantifiable components of the music and the freedom of the performers.

Qin Jian's winter wind is precise, and Duan Ran's winter wind is also precise.

But Qin Jian's winter wind has no speed change, he can't have it, as long as there is a speed change, then the artwork he has carefully assembled will collapse instantly.

Duan Ran can change, she can make the timing of the note a little longer wherever she wants, because in the later place, she naturally has a place to make a certain note a little shorter.

This rhythmic slowness is also characteristic of Chopin's music – when you master the elastic tempo, you can swing the order without disrupting it.

In the work of Winter Wind, Duan Ran has established his own order.

It's hers.

Maybe someone can still reproduce this order with a superb dissecting technique, but no one can snatch it from Duan Ran's hands.

Branhano picked up the pen and gave the first yes.

What is the reason why a player who has mastered Rubato can't advance to the next round?

With the reproduction of A minor, the whole work is pushed to the final climax, under a glide scale of three octaves of the ascent with a rapid leap.

Duan Ran's arms are in the final burst, and the two-handed chords marked by the real FFF dynamics at the end reproduce the introductory motive.

"Phew!—"

A crisp and powerful closing note.

Stop.

The audience was silent.

Argerich raised his hand and gave yes, and Upollina gave yes.

Duan Ran blew softly, she loosened her bitten lower lip, and then took a deep breath.

Raise your hand and drop your fingers again.

Etudes, op.10: No.8inFMajor "Butterfly"

A humorous ornament.

...

...

Qin Jian in the lobby waited quietly, to be honest, his heart was not as calm as he appeared.

"The winter wind must be over. ”

"I don't know how. ”

"Hmm. ”

"No problem. ”

"There are at least seven jury favorites. ”

"Uh-huh————"
