The crisp sound of the piano jumps forward rapidly, and each landing site has a strong purpose.

The rhythm of the music is gradually strengthening.

The performers in the spotlight are still only with their heads down, and there is no obvious change in the amplitude of their limbs.

Rapids are turbulent undercurrents.

Chopin Etude Op10.No4, Etude in C sharp minor.

It was named 'Torrent' by later generations.

In Chopin's vast library of etudes, the rapids are not ranked highly.

But this etude is also with the characteristic magnificence of a piano poet.

A fast etude that combines finger elasticity, flexibility, speed and telecontraction, it has a strong musicality.

In a chromatic dense melody, how to narrow the range of motion of the left hand and present the melody short and powerful in a clear and fast way.

This is a great test of the tactile response between the fingers and the control of the finger force distribution.

"So fast. ”

Looking at the performers on the stage, Qin Jian's ears involuntarily stood taller and higher.

Fast running, well-paced.

The most rare thing is stability, to be able to play to such a level at such a speed.

"There is indeed something. ”

Everyone's eyes were also focused on the stage.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Qin Jian's brows did not frown.

The subtle fluctuations in the melody line of three seconds ago touched one of his auditory nerves.

Just for a moment.

Several seats invariably resounded with a soft sigh.

It's a pity.

On the premise of ensuring the speed and clarity of the performance, whether the emphasis in the whole melody can be highlighted and the left hand can be calmly completed will be the high-level criteria for judging the performer.

As a piece that appears frequently in major piano competitions.

The torrent has long been cocooned in the ears of the judges, and even if it is just a small mistake, it will not be let go.

Obviously, the contestants on the stage had just crossed slightly between the accent and the big jump.

That's it.

There may be 10,000 ways to make a mistake, but there is only one end result.

In contrast to the bright warm lights on the stage, the white cold light in the judges' booth in the center of the hall looked a little dim.

At this time, among the fourteen people in the first row of the judges' seat, many figures had already picked up the pen in their hands.

...

After that, the music ends in stability.

With the last set of chords being pressed forcefully.

The performer still performed the last movement on stage with a confident smile.

Take a bow.

He calmly walked off the stage under a faint round of applause.

"The mentality is not bad, but the pimples on the face are a bit excessive. ”

A random speech in the corner.

......

The second player to appear is Li Zhirun, selected by the Qin Provincial Musicians Association. ”

"She will bring the following tracks. ”

[Chopin's Etude op10 . no4】。 ”

"[Instructor, Zuo Heng]. ”

....

Fourth?

The first reaction of the crowd.

After the broadcast, there was a little commotion in the audience.

Except for the scoring sheet in the hand, the contestants cannot determine the repertoire among themselves.

Of course, some kind of private communication is not excluded.

Moreover, in such a competition, where there is no strict limit to the selection of works by a single composer, not to mention the fact that the order of each contestant's performance is randomly selected, it is not uncommon for adjacent contestants to submit the same piece in the same round.

Before the game was even smooth, a dramatic scene occurred.

Compared with the first contestant's calm and confident, the second girl appeared a little slow.

Perhaps because she wore high heels for the first time, the girl walked too stiffly and clumsily.

Not only does it recreate the scene where she just picked up the number, but it also evokes the frustrated expression when she picked up the last ball.

Although it was forced, it also reflected her psychological state from the side.

This also makes the players as spectators more inclined to speculate on the results later.

Stage fright and stage are inherently opposites.

Moreover, from the current point of view, her only opponent except for a small mistake, the rest of the performance is worthy of circle.

"The little girl's luck is indeed a little worse. ”

Qin Jian shook his head, looking at the girl on the stage who had adjusted her sitting posture with some regret.

However, compared to the oily boy with a pimple-covered face, the fleshy girl under the pink dress is still more pleasing to the eye.

The camera pulls back to the stage————

The girl was trying to take a deep breath, but she didn't know that fine beads of sweat had appeared on the tip of her small nose.

"Whew, come on Li Zhirun————"

With a slight exhalation, the girl finally raised her hand.

And at the moment when her slightly trembling hands were on the piano, within a few seconds, the whole person's state seemed to be different.

Qin Jian was puzzled.

The torrent rises again and sweeps through the hall.

The gorgeous sound of the piano emerged in the most direct way under the girl's dexterous wrist.

"What a strong force!"

"The lighter melody, under the distinct strength and weakness of the treatment, gives people a sense of power. ”

The surging notes filled every corner of the air, and the mold stains between the cracks in the walls of the concert hall seemed to be reborn, covering with a faint golden sheen.

Torrents can also be surging.

The last row of the judges' bench, an even bleaker corner.

"Ha, interesting understanding. ”

...

The octave accent hovering over the piano castanets, with the rigorous coordination of the pedals, pushes the high mockery of the music to the apex.

Error-free performance.

The end of the song.

When the girl came down from the stage again, she was still very clumsy.

The heels of the feet and the 'pop' sound of the red carpet on the ground are even more rhythmless.

It's just that no one thinks about the unfounded assumptions of a few minutes ago.

The two are contrasted, and the judgment is made.

The applause was naturally greater.

"Hmm..."

Qin Jian also applauded, patted his head and leaned back on the quilt, looking at the gorgeous ceiling of incalculable height.

It's like two worlds separated by air.

The mouth opened slightly, and closed again...

But one thing has been verified again -

How can I say it, the players who can get here...

"Hmm..."

...

"The fifth player to appear—"

"The seventh player to appear—"

The game went on.

There are Chopin's singing concert etudes, Mozart's gorgeous sonata movements, and even Scolyabin's meditation that happens to flash a moment...

Unconsciously, Qin Jian turned into a pure listener, listening to the words of the piano through the stream to the river,

Listen to the dreams of the strings left by the pen.

There are no proverbs here, just every move between the player and the keys.

The race is in a steady phase.

"The 10th player—"

"The eleventh player—"

...

"The thirteenth contestant to appear - Zhao Yinuo, elected by the Haishi Musicians Association. ”

"She will bring the following tracks. ”

"Feux Follets"

"Instructor, Zhou Rong. ”

The announcer's voice fell.

During the first row of judges, a group of domestic judges also set their eyes on the old man sitting in the middle

The old man just smiled politely.

"The child is still young, so you are welcome. ”

The players were not so calm in the seats.

The vast majority of people present knew the existence of Zhao Yinuo, a rising star in the piano industry with outstanding beauty and superb musical talent.

Since 2011, he has cooperated with the Twist Philharmonic Orchestra at the Dongjing National Conservatory of Music, and has since entered the public eye of the Chinese piano circle.

As for Zhou Rong, the name of the dean of the Haishi Conservatory of Music alone is enough to explain everything.

As a special guest judge of this piano competition, she is second only to the chairman of the organizing committee.

Such a combination is definitely very rare in the broadcast registration list of this piano competition.

The envious eyes of everyone looked at the tall figures of the players who stood up in the middle of the seats.

When the maiden takes off her coat.

A gorgeous black one-shoulder dress was revealed.

The unique figure of the girl before she matures is undoubtedly displayed, elegant and noble, without losing grace.

The left hand, which had been hidden under the sleeve, was also exposed.

A left hand with a black bandage, a delicate black bandage wrapped around the white wrist.

Give people a different kind of reverie than someone.

Qin Jian also sat up, his eyes tightly on the girl not far away.

The swaying pupils seemed to be tracking some source of uncertainty.

Feux Follets？

Translated name, ghost fire.
