Chapter 205: The Last Short Chord

() Difficult to play the phrases of the third movement of enthusiasm.

This is a consensus that everyone who has played this movement can agree with.

Let's rewind the clock to an afternoon four days ago.

A corner of a time clip.

At this time, Qin Jian was repeatedly practicing measures 20 to 28 of the third movement of the Passion Sonata in the piano room.

Let's start with measure 20, where the bass is the beginning of the first phrase and the first note of measure 28 is the end of the phrase.

But how to make the music sound like the end of the first video in measure 28 became the beginning of Qin Jian's headache.

Beethoven's composition breaks the textbook echo of the terminations of phrases in a musical passage.

Here, in order to create a heavy and profound percussion effect in the momentum of the music, Uncle Pei used the ending note of the previous sentence as the beginning of the next sentence at the same time.

In other words, under his wild imagination, the opening note of the latter sentence on the score intrudes into the closing note of the previous sentence for no reason.

And this ubiquitous phrase is present throughout the third movement.

After an afternoon to an evening, Qin Jian couldn't count how many failed examples he had recorded on his phone.

And in the midst of these failures, he never gave up on experiencing the theme of passionate music between every note.

Finally, at a certain moment before nightfall, the music under his ten fingers suddenly merged into the battlefield one after another in the music.

Each clause becomes exceptionally clear at that moment.

Every beginning is like a real closing end, and every ending is like the beginning of a new motive.

That's it.

Qin Jian fully deployed his hands, and his mind was full of music images of the melody falling down and standing up.

The sound is endless.

"Maybe it's not over in the first place. ”

With the relentless beating of the dense hammers, the strings of the piano became hotter and hotter.

In the hall, the surging melody goes higher and farther in the endless advance.

All eyes in the audience have been focused on this last moment in the music.

Everyone is looking forward to the final explosion in front of the piano.

However.

At the end of the music's journey, Qin Jian was trying his best to control his emotions.

He needed to keep the last shred of his composure in this last moment.

The next second.

With the last motive of the music.

Qin Jian raised his hands again.

Whereabouts!!

Furiously slammed into the last set of roaring chords at the end of the battlefield.

"Wow————"

"Wow——————"

"Wow——————————"

In the trembling air, the sound of the piano rushed in all directions like a shock wave.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

I don't know how many seconds have passed.

Until the hall fell silent.

A straight young man sitting back on the big screen.

Gently raise your hand again.

Whereabouts.

"W-"

A short, but resolute chord was struck again.

Qin Jian raised his hand to support the piano and walked to the center of the stage.

Bent down slightly.

It ends where it began, leaving only the tail note that still permeates the hall.

"Whoop~~~~~~

"Whoop~~~~~~

Warm applause took over the aftermath.

Under the applause, the music seemed to stop, but only a hot black piano was left in the center of the stage

Qin Jian, who returned to the backstage, breathed a sigh of relief gently.

He didn't notice the presence of the blonde man wearing sunglasses on the side, just gently shook off the sweat on his chin and smiled and handed back the blue entry card in his hand to the distracted staff.

In the short corridor, he wondered if he had done the right thing about the last coda.

He is not exact.

But he always knew that this piece represented the most combative work in Beethoven's music.

It represents the life that goes on and on, and it shouldn't end in the most magnificent place.

Its name is just called Passion.

"The next player to come out, No. 3 in Group E, Katsuhei Yamaguchi... ”

...

"Still. ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

Passing through the door connecting the audience backstage, Qin Jian suddenly felt a burst of relief.

As he appeared, many people in the nearby audience looked over and cast a lot of appreciative glances.

Qin Jian smiled and nodded to everyone, and walked towards the players' seat.

In the way, a small hand suddenly stretched out to block his way.

Qin Jian looked down and saw that it was a little boy who was looking at him expectantly with his hand stretched out.

On the side, the character who was about the little boy's mother said a language that Qin Jian couldn't understand a little embarrassed, probably to express some apologies.

Qin Jian smiled and bent down to reach out to hold the little boy's hand, and said in English lightly, "Hello." ”

And this scene was also captured by Natsuki Aso, who found it difficult to merge the young man with a warm face at this time and the serious face on the stage just now, and her eyes finally fell to the corner of the contestant's seat with the man's figure.

......

"It's not hot, it's good. ”

Qin Jian brushed Duan Ran's forehead again, then sat down and looked at the smiling girl on the side, "Uh, don't you say something?"

"What do you want to hear me say?"

"If you want me to say, wow, you play so well, is that so?" Imitating a pompous tone, Duan Ran smiled, his bright eyes shining.

"To be honest, I don't know exactly what you're trying to say, and I'm still thinking about your last chord. ”

"I even think you're taking some risks, after all, it's still a competition, and it's hard to say how the jury will look at it. ”

Qin Jian nodded seriously, he understood what Duan Ran meant.

Duan Ran paused and continued, "But I like the enthusiasm with which you play, although I haven't completely digested the doubts about the last movement. ”

"Thank you," Qin Jian nodded again, "Actually, about the last one-"

"Don't," Duan Ran hurriedly interrupted Qin Jian, "Don't tell me, I want to experience it myself." "

"Okay," Qin Jian smiled helplessly, "Is your body okay?"

"Okay, don't worry. Duan Ran said with a smile.

"Sure?" Qin Jian knew that Duan Ran wanted to watch the scene of the finals by himself.

That's when it happened.

There was a sudden delicate chill in his left hand.

"Watch the game. ”

Between the two of them, Duan Ran held half of Qin Jian's palm, but his eyes turned to the stage, "Be serious." ”

Qin Jian was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth couldn't help grinning, and his eyes drifted to the ghost fire on the stage.

...

Time passed

The curtain came to an end with one contestant after another taking the stage.

"A final is a final. ”

Whether it is the selection of repertoire or the depth of the works, it is completely different from the preliminary round.

Moreover, in the comparison with the junior group, each player in the youth group has their own style of performance.

"Hmm-"

"It's a matter of style. ”

"This is perhaps a new topic that could be started. ”

"Think about the question of young people. ”
