Taribek's speech was almost a showdown, and everyone in the room could understand that he was going to stand on the side of the No. 57.

But his reasons for nominating 12 and 24 are convincing.

Unlike Hewitt's overly one-sided view.

It's not like the Russian beard's words, which only make people feel that he is helping his fellow boys get votes, although Ivanov's performance in the mazurka is indeed like a divine help.

However, no matter which of the three judges speaks better, the situation on the field has already taken shape.

Taribek is No. 57, Beard is No. 9, and Hewitt is No. 66.

The essence behind this kind of standing in line is value scrutiny.

Their nomination is just a Mazurka Award? Maybe it's just.

Maybe it also has something to do with their expectations of the final result.

After Taribek's speech, all sorts of trivial exchanges rang out.

Everyone seemed to start talking about a few players, and it was clear that No. 9 and No. 12 were mentioned much more often than No. 24, No. 57, and No. 66.

Half a minute later, the young Polish judge Kaftin spoke.

"Dear teachers. ”

He humbly said, "I propose the number 15 player. ”

Everyone's eyes moved to him, but he didn't continue, and smiled shyly.

Carver Hall expressed his thoughts simply and straightforwardly, and it worked out well, and the No. 15 player was added to the discussion.

But this is more due to the performance of the No. 15 player in the third round, and if he doesn't mention it, naturally someone else will mention it later.

Another three minutes passed.

The discussion became louder and louder, and the four numbers of No. 9, No. 12, No. 12, and No. 57 were divided into four courts.

Sister felt that it was time for her to say something.

But at this moment.

"I love the mazurka played by girl number 13. ”

In the midst of the discussion, Andrzey's old voice stood out.

The surprise in Sister A's eyes flashed.

Everyone looked at Andrzey.

Andrzej obviously didn't intend to laugh like Kraftin, and he smiled and said his considerations:

"Everyone has their own perspective on how to define a good mazurka. ”

"But anyway, I think we have to go back to Chopin's music itself first. ”

"You are all the best Chopin players in the world, so we should be the first to agree. ”

“rubato。 ”

"Free tempo is the source of Mazurka music, and Mazurka music is a highly condensed expression of Chopin's music. ”

With these words, the scene fell silent.

"Free speed was born from the first activities of human beings, and the melodies that people sang casually in order to express their emotions included free speed. “

"As one of the factors that shape culture, the characteristics of language are also closely related to music. ”

Andrzej said and looked at the bearded man, "We often talk about how beautiful Russian music is, and this is precisely because Russian itself has a natural smooth pronunciation. ”

The bearded man clearly agreed with this view, and several of the Russian judges felt a sense of compliment.

"The pianists from Germany and Austria tend to express their musical style in the treatment of scales. Andrzej looked at Taribek again, "Maybe this is the root of their rejection of free speed, but the development of piano culture is never limited to geography." ”

"Piano culture is undergoing a revolution, and if the German-Austrian pianos stop focusing on rational and serious musical processing one day in the future, perhaps their playing of mazurkas will surprise people. ”

"In the field of classical music, the German-Austrian school has an innate advantage. ”

Andrzej commented on the relationship between mazurka and several genres in a few simple words.

"Contestant No. 9 vividly expresses the connotation of the Russian piano in the music of the mazurka. ”

"Mazurka, the number 12, illustrates the high degree of convergence of many piano schools. “

"Contestant No. 15 played a pure Polish mazurka. ”

"No. 57's unique performance in the mazurka is irreplaceable. ”

"Player No. 66 has already incorporated an asymmetrical hand into the mazurka playing. ”

"They presented the best versions of the mazurka and the live effect was like a recording. ”

"However, I would say that the mazurkas they play lack a real freedom in them. ”

Andrzea paused, and swept everyone's eyes sincerely.

"If it wasn't a win-or-lose game, what would their mazurka look like in private?"

"I'm not trying to deny the ingenuity of the contestants on stage. “

"I just wanted to discuss with you the question of whether free velocity should be controlled. ”

"Before the discussion, I made my proposal again, and the performance of No. 13 made me feel relaxed. ”

"Her performance has the enthusiasm of Polish folk dance, but also has an oriental charm that does not belong to Polish music. ”

"Her mazurka may not be the most beautiful or complex of the contestants, but it must be the most free and cheerful. ”

"Isn't Chopin's music supposed to bring joy to people?"

Everyone was silent, and Andrze's last sentence touched everyone's hearts, as if Chopin had always been in everyone's impression of pathos and suffering.

"Please put aside some unnecessary preconceptions. ”

"This award has been vacant for two consecutive years, which is a loss for the Chopin Competition, for which the jury has been saddled with enough bad reviews over the years. ”

Indeed, many media outlets have openly questioned the jury's aesthetic bias in the Mazurka award.

"We should reflect on whether our aesthetics as judges are no longer quite in line with the requirements of the times. ”

...

Andrzey's speech was introspective and gave people a visible vision.

The older generation of judges were silent, and the younger judges seemed to feel something in this silence.

Argerich really didn't expect Andrzej to say such a thing.

The other party said what she wanted to say, and it was more beautiful than she said.

For a while, she couldn't help but think of the third round of selection 15 years ago, in the same situation, Andrzej proposed Rigraz in the midst of everyone's arguments and said something touching.

Then Igraz won the Mazurka Prize that year.

But in the end, he was stopped outside the door of the final.

She angrily left the jury for this reason and protested by refusing to participate in the final judging, which caused a great sensation at the time.

All this Argerich remembers vividly.

Fifteen years is like a reincarnation, and today this scene is happening again.

She had to say that she was still moved by Andrzea this time, and there was even a moment when she felt that Andrzea didn't do anything excessive back then.

Because it was Branhano who silenced all doubts in the final final.

But in that moment, Sister A's sensitivity made her sober up again.

She began to worry that history would really repeat itself.

If her favorite player in that class 15 years ago was Igraz, then after listening to all the mazurkas played by all the players in this class, her favorite player was number 13.

A silent girl who is unrestrained in front of the piano, just like her former self
