The Warsaw Philharmonic Hall, as the designated venue for the Chopin Competition, is not luxurious in appearance.

From a distance, it looks like a milky white condensed milk box.

As the car approached, the condensed milk box gradually became clear.

"It's the teacher. ”

Following the direction of Duan Ran's finger, Qin Jian also saw the figure with a large travel bag and sunglasses in front of the open space at the main entrance through the car window.

"We were five minutes late. Duan Ran kept watching the time all the way.

"Rest assured. Qin Jian patted the back of her hand, "Teacher Shen won't blame me." ”

The two got out of the car.

Duan Ran hesitated a little, and then grabbed Qin Jian's arm.

Since the farewell in Vienna, she has not seen Shen Qingci for almost a year, although a lot of things have happened to her in a year, but it is inevitable that before seeing Shen Qingci, she still has the feeling that she had to take professional classes when she was a child.

Feeling the power coming from his arm, Qin Jian smiled, didn't say anything, and strode forward.

At this time, Shen Qingci also saw the two.

"Teacher Shen. Qin Jian stepped forward and naturally greeted him.

Then.

"Teacher. ”

Duan Ran looked timidly like a little daughter-in-law who saw an elder, and she should be the one who was upright to be reasonable, but Shen Qingci was her mother's family, but she was a little embarrassed

Shen Qingci was not surprised by the scene in front of him, he had found eyebrows between the two since he was in Tokyo.

As a person who has come over, he understands, and from the bottom of his heart, he admires Qin Jian very much.

"How is it, has the jet lag been transferred?" Shen Qingci asked Qin Jian.

"It's okay, no big problem, it's just that Warsaw has been a bit hot lately. Qin Jian said with a smile.

Shen Qingci nodded and looked at Duan Ran: "What about you?"

"I'm fine. Duan Ran whispered.

"That's okay," Shen Qingci looked at the time, "Hurry up, let's go in." ”

This is the first time Qin Jian has walked into this hall, and the interior of the lobby is elegant, and the warm-colored marble columns give people a comfortable feeling.

After passing through a U-shaped corridor, the three of them came to an open arch, and Shen Qingci showed a certificate to the staff at the door, and said two words of Polish.

Qin Jian caught the change in the complexion on the staff's face, and he was curious that Shen Qingci had already withdrawn the documents in his hand.

"Hurry up, we only have half an hour. Shen Qingci said and stepped forward.

Qin Jian retracted his thoughts and hurriedly followed.

After passing through a straight passage again, the three of them walked up the steps, and Shen Qingci pushed the door open.

"Here?"

There was a small stage in front of me, and at least there would never be a four-pipe orchestra.

Qin Jian's feeling is right, this is not the main hall stage of the Warsaw Concert Hall, but the stage is not small.

It's just that there are 5 triple pianos side by side on the stage at this time.

Qin Jian pondered that these five pianos should be the competition pianos prepared for the preliminary contestants.

Six Steinways, D-274s and upgraded 274s, a Fazioli 308, a Yamah-CFX, a Kawa-Skex, and a Bösendorfer's Imperial 290.

Under the soft light, the five streamers are lined up in a row, giving people a somewhat dazzling feeling.

It seems that he and Duan Ran have made a backdoor to have one more chance to try the piano, Qin Jian thought about it and asked, "Teacher Shen, is this where we will try the piano tomorrow?"

Shen Qingci nodded and said, "It's also the venue for your preliminary competition." "Look at the book house

"Huh?" Duan Ran exclaimed in surprise, "This is the venue for the preliminary round, but there is no audience seat in the audience." Duan Ran looked around the entire space, almost half of the stage was occupied, and there were no seats under the stage.

Qin Jian didn't expect that he thought that the preliminary competition was open before, which made him have to think of a question, "Teacher Shen, so we can't hear the performance of other players in the preliminary competition?"

Shen Qingci also took off his sunglasses and looked around: "That's right, all the preliminary videos will be announced on April 20, and all the game videos during this period will be confidential." ”

"That means that the organizing committee will only announce the list of 80 finalists on April 20th, right?"

Shen Qingci sighed softly, and a hint of reminiscence flashed in his eyes: "Yes, it will be announced globally." ”

After a pause, he put down his backpack: "Okay, you come and start, the main thing is to listen to the voice, who will come first." ”

Qin Jian looked at Duan Ran: "You come first, hurry up." As he spoke, he turned on the recording of his phone.

Duan Ran didn't shirk it, took off his coat and did it 274s ago, and raised his hand to play after adjusting the piano bench.

Winter winds.

The theme after the introduction kicks off the music, and the sound whizzes through the quiet space

Shen Qingci pulled Qin Jian to the open space in the corner of the stage.

"Qin Jian, this position is the position of the judges' seat at that time, about 15 meters away from the stage. Shen Qingci advised, "You have to pay attention to the volume of this distance." ”

When Duan Ran Dongfeng was halfway through, Shen Qingci shouted, "Turn off the pedal." ”

The sound of the piano in the space didn't dry out much, and he was still very surprised by the feeling of being wet.

Shen Qingci explained: "The resonance of this venue has always been like this, do you know what I mean?"

Qin Jian nodded and said, this is indeed a very important thing, especially for the D major mazurka that he prepared.

He thought again, if this was the case, his primaries would have to be grainy, not only grainy, but also clear enough.

He swayed between kawa and yamah, his playing style destined to pass the already thick European harp.

Duan Ran finished the winter wind, played another nocturne, ran a syllable, and then walked down from the stage.

Qin Jian: "Don't you try anything else?"

Duan Ran had already answered Qin Jian's question with an expression, "It's your turn." ”

Qin Jian handed the phone to Duan Ran and walked towards the stage.

Standing between SKEX and CFX, Qin Jian hesitated for about 10 seconds.

"Let's try you first. ”

...

...

After the audition, Shen Qingci told the two of them a lot at lunch.

Qin Jian also raised some questions of his own in response to the other party's words, such as: "What determines the timbre after the sound capsule rings for 0.2 seconds?"

"Leave this question to Liao Linjun to explain to you, I can only say that more than 90% of concert-grade grand pianos, regardless of the brand and model, play the same note, and the timbre in the first 0.2 seconds is completely the same. ”

Qin Jian naturally believed Shen Qingci's words, but the problem that followed was that he knew that the prefix of a note was extremely important, and he also knew that there were not a few notes of more than 0.2 seconds on the score.

Trouble~

Thinking too much is naturally troublesome.

Looking at Duan Ran, who was happily eating beside him, Qin Jian suddenly felt a burst of fun, "Is it delicious?"

Duan Ran raised his face: "It's delicious!!"

Qin Jian smiled, "Eat more." ”

"Ahem. ”

Shen Qingci on the other side coughed lightly.
