That evening, Banner wrote a passage in his diary: "His beautiful playing style is extremely exciting, and reaches the ears of those with a keen ear. I couldn't help but hold my breath. His slender fingers glide over the keys with ease, one might even say flying. I reveled in it, and the feeling is still inexplicable. What I love is the ethereal clarity and unique vitality that he shows in his mannerisms and performances. ”

……

Jiang Chao stood up and paused on the stage for two or three seconds. He bowed lightly to the audience, modest but graceful.

"Dad-" Liu Shihan whispered, "It's this brother." ”

The middle-aged man glanced at Jiang Chao with interest. I have to say that in terms of demeanor and appearance alone, it is impeccable. In particular, the kind of composure that Jiang Chao shows is different from many hairy boys that middle-aged men have seen - at least so far, Jiang Chao has left a very good impression on him. But he is his daughter's favorite performer, and the middle-aged man involuntarily looked harsh, and he wanted to see if this kid was really worthy of his daughter's "chase".

Banner looked at Jiang Chao silently, and there were not many ups and downs in his heart.

On the other side, Wu Bufan glanced at Jiang Chao a few more times, thinking that if Jiang Chao was willing to be an idol, he basically didn't need strength with his appearance.

Jiang Chao sat down.

What he prepared was an etude, a piece that Chopin was not easy to interpret, and it was extremely difficult. This song has to be played, as if you have seen a piece of peace in a dream, and the ethereal feeling of being half asleep and half awake will do.

Surprise: "The melodic notes and other important notes of this piece must emerge from the waves of softness, and must be combined with the upper voices to form a true melody, and at the same time accompanied by a wonderful and meaningful variation of strength and weakness...... Can he pop that feeling?"

Banner shook his head: "It's very innovative." But if you want to interpret this magical piece, you should abandon the sentimentality, and there should be no change of strength and weakness - it should be played clearly, softly, and dreamlikely, but if you are not careful, it will be self-defeating and become emotionless, and he really shouldn't have chosen this piece during the competition. ”

Many people in the audience know the difficulty of this song, and most people are lamenting the high difficulty of the song selected by Jiang Chao, and they are also secretly looking forward to it subconsciously, hoping that Jiang Chao will bring them some surprises.

Jiang Chao didn't care what the people below thought. He calmed down a little, and then stopped paying attention to where he was, he only knew that he was in front of a piano.

Start playing.

This etude is very beautiful, and each measure rules its own little kingdom of harmony. The song is so beautiful, and sometimes so delicately designed, that it reminds one of the blurry and wonderful frost flowers on the glass. Jiang Chao's right hand part is a triplet of four consecutive quarter notes per bar from beginning to end. Perfectly "extremely weak", unaccented characteristic, without the slightest hint of passion and elastic speed.

Banner couldn't help but be surprised. "This precisely controls the force...... Oh my goodness, how could I have heard such a wonderful performance here!"

Maitherine couldn't help but take two hard breaths to calm her mind. That's right, that's what it feels like!Mercelyn closed her eyes and imagined listening to the mysterious rustle of leaves in a deep, deep solitude in a silent, dim, lush forest.

"A true Chopin player is born, not a product of a school. Banner couldn't help but remember a phrase he had heard. Jiang Chao gave Banner the feeling of being a natural Chopin player, without a trace of deliberateness, and the beautiful melody was natural. Sometimes, fandom is a matter of moments, and Banner opened his eyes and had an urge that he couldn't wait to get to know that Chopin player!

Jiang Chao has always felt that a superb classical music player should not only be played to people who understand music. To convey emotions to people who don't understand music at all and infect them is Jiang Chao's pursuit. At this point, Jiang Chao did it. At least, Liu Shihan's father in the audience felt that emotion.

At first, the man was unimpressed, but as the beautiful notes kept flowing, the man was gradually attracted. He glanced down at his daughter and saw that her eyes were completely closed, and a smile was on her lips. Looking at his daughter's happy expression, the man couldn't help but feel warm in his heart and showed a smile.

Listen carefully.

A man doesn't understand music theory, harmony, or beats, all he can understand is melody. In Jiang Chao's melody, the man remembered his youth. At that time he liked to lie in the field, the sky was blue, and the white clouds drifted by. The smell of the earth is fragrant, and the wind blows the sound of wind chimes......

At that time, my grandmother would always boil the eggs laid by the old hen and keep them for herself—in those days of extreme material poverty, eggs were a precious snack like cake. Thinking of this, the man opened his eyes with a dumb smile, "How can you listen to music and become hypocritical?"

At the end, the music went deeper, and the shadows became colder and darker, but there was still no sense of being shrouded in sadness, and when Jiang Chao was playing here, he was thinking about the time when his consciousness fell silent when he was reborn. The darkness is not necessarily sad, Jiang Chao opened his eyes gently, and made a slight change to the original song at the end, revealing a glimmer of light at once.

The judges were amazed.

Obviously, Jiang Chao's last few notes were deliberate, and the whole piece suddenly became different. If Jiang Chao ends in a regular manner, then the whole piece is like a person walking in the forest at night, ethereal and long. But Jiang Chao's adjustment made this journey show a glimmer of light at the end, embellishing the night sky.

The judges also disagreed on this adjustment. Some think it's amazing, while others think you shouldn't make your own decisions. But what everyone agrees on is that Jiang Chao's interpretation of this piece is at the top level. The last little adjustment does not affect the result, those who like it especially like it, score a little more, and those who don't like it play a little less, offset each other, and do not affect the ending.

After Jiang Chao came down, Maitherine hesitated for a moment and smiled at Jiang Chao: "I like Huaguo very much." ”

Jiang Chao was slightly stunned: "Huh?"

"When I was a child, I went to China with my mother once – she went there as a singer for communication. At that time, I saw an interesting instrument in Huaguo, well, it looks like a horn, the sound is very beautiful, and there is a unique sense of pathos......"

Jiang Chao thought for a while, "You're talking about suona, right?"

"Huh? Was it the Chinese name at that time? ”

Jiang Chao smiled slightly, after all, it was a mudslide in the musical instrument world.

"This winter, I would like to visit Lang Lang in China. ”

Jiang Chao remembered that Merceline's teacher seemed to be Lang Lang's mentor.

Then, Mercelyn looked at Jiang Chao expectantly: "Can you be my guide?"

Jiang Chao was stunned.

Messerine was still smiling, and there was a Hungarian girl's enthusiasm in her smile: "So, can you leave me your contact information?"
