Chapter 212: Clown with all the firepower!

Isabella Cup live broadcast.

After the clown's report came out, many contestants and judges couldn't help but change color.

Because this "Doomsday Rhapsody" has an extraordinary status in the piano world, it is an unfinished "forbidden song".

At the end of the 19th century, a pianist named "Hardy Raleigh" swept the European music scene, and he had a quirk of cutting off one of his opponent's little fingers as a trophy after each victory.

And the consequence is naturally that the opponent can no longer touch the piano for life.

This cruel act was unacceptable to many piano artists, who came out to condemn it and call it a "demon".

It is rumored that the evil ghost Harty only lived to be thirty-six years old, and after he defeated all the piano masters in Europe, he combined the insights he thought from them and his own experience to compose a piano piece called the world's most difficult piano piece "Doomsday Rhapsody".

It's just that before the writing was finished, it died, and in the end, only the half-finished product spread.

The piano masters of the European music scene hated Hardy, especially the defeated generals who had their fingers cut off by him, and they took the lead in standing up to condemn this "Doomsday Rhapsody", criticizing it as the devil's seal in the world, and whoever dares to perform in public will be hostile to the entire European music scene.

Over time, "Doomsday Rhapsody" became a forbidden song that no one dared to play.

Time flies, the years are long, and more than 200 years have passed in a blink of an eye, and this only half-finished "Doomsday Rhapsody" has gradually disappeared into the long river of history with the passage of time.

In modern society, everyone is no longer feudal and superstitious, and the so-called "seal of the devil in the world" has become a joke.

Some people say that this is the last fig leaf on the European music scene that was swept by Hardy alone.

Some people also said that if Hardy had not died and composed a complete version of "Rhapsody of Doom", it would have been the most difficult piano piece in history.

In short, forbidden songs are no longer forbidden songs.

And with the development of the Internet, various legacy versions have also been circulated in the world, but most of them are unreliable, just to attract attention.

No one has ever heard of what the real original is like.

Therefore, the pianists present all showed a shocked look after hearing this name.

The Joker's prominence is well known, which can be seen from his use of a Rolls-Royce as a car, could it be that he really has the original version of "Doomsday Rhapsody"?

One of the judges couldn't help but be curious, looked excited, and asked tremblingly: "Clown contestant, are you really going to perform "Doomsday Rhapsody"?"

"My father accidentally got Mr. Hardy Raleigh's Codex a few years ago, and there is indeed a piano piece for "Doomsday Rhapsody", and it is a complete version, I think it should be true. ”

As the clown sat down at the piano, his crazy look finally subsided, and he squinted at the judges who were speaking, and replied lightly.

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly resounded with irrepressible exclamations.

"Did you hear that? He had Mr. Hardy Raleigh's Codex! And it contained the full version of Doomsday Rhapsody!"

"How can this be, isn't the rumored 'Doomsday Rhapsody' a half-finished product?"

"Could the clown be fooling us?"

"Won't you find out when he performs!"

"That's right, "Doomsday Rhapsody" is known as the most difficult piano piece in history, and the difficulty of playing is still above the "Memories of Hughes" performed by Panda, and when the time comes, he will know if it is true or false!"

"Hehe, if it's true, then the red face is dangerous. ”

"The complete version of "Doomsday Rhapsody", the most difficult song in the world to play, what do you have to do with a red face to fight?"

“……”

Almost every audience member who knows some way about piano history is talking.

After all, the clown's words are too amazing, and the "Doomsday Rhapsody", which is said to have long been extinct, is in his hands, and it is a complete version, which is simply a bombshell, enough to cause a sensation in the piano world.

He Xiao's slender body sat in front of another piano, his eyes flickering.

"Doomsday Rhapsody", a very famous forbidden song, he naturally knew about it, and even heard it before he was learning piano.

At that time, he was thinking about the second year of junior high school, in that era when the non-mainstream killing Matt was rampant, the Internet had a great impact on the students, He Xiao still remembered that his social account nickname was "儍尐孓♂", and he wandered around the chat room every day, until he met the first netizen in his life, "Mushroom Liang's Tyrant", and her personality signature is - no matter how awesome Hadi is, she can't play out Lao Tzu's sadness.

So, the name Hadi entered He Xiao's sight for the first time, and after checking his feared deeds on the Internet, He Xiao, who was in the rebellious period, still admired the piano master with a personality like Hadi very much in his heart, which lasted for a long time.

So at this time, when he heard "Doomsday Rhapsody" again and heard the name "Hadi", He Xiao's heart was also a little shaken.

If the Joker really had this supposedly hardest piano piece of all time as a killer feature, then this game would be really not good.

Although He Xiao has the evidence that the clown buys the contestants, as long as he takes it out, the clown will be disqualified, and he will directly become the champion, but if he does this, he always feels that this game is much more incomplete.

He Xiao wants to live up to the audience's expectations for this final battle, and he believes that he can defeat the clown by his strength.

After resisting the panda and grinding the unicorn, there is no reason to lose the clown.

He Xiao calmed down and quietly waited for the clown to start performing.

And in front of another piano.

After answering a few more questions from the judges, the clown officially entered the state.

Put your hands on the keys of the piano, and the next moment, it flutters like a storm, and the extremely suppressed melody suddenly flutters out.

"Rhapsody of Doom", as the name suggests, is a dark piano piece with a depressing style, as if the world was about to be destroyed.

All the spectators who listened carefully to the game felt that their chests began to feel inexplicably heavy at the moment when the melody sounded, and their faces gradually became solemn.

In a trance, the whole universe seemed to mourn, thunder surged in the sky, and a thick lightning bolt fell from the dome, splitting a large tree into charcoal.

The earth beneath his feet shook and cracked as the lightning pierced the sky, and the terrifying ravines split the mountains and rivers in half, devouring everything like a great mouth of an abyss.

And at the edge of the earth, along the endless coastline, there was also a disaster, and wave after wave of tsunamis swept to the shore with monstrous power, flooding cities one after another.

That's what it is...... Doomsday!

As far as the eye could see, the sky was wailing, the earth was collapsing, and nothing was intact.

The footsteps of the disaster swept the whole world, and everyone was crying and running for their lives.

The Joker's strength is undoubtedly extremely strong, he is a rare musical genius, and when such a musical genius gets a world-class banned song like "Doomsday Rhapsody", the skills he shows are unmatched.

He was almost enchanted, playing to the peak, and the black and white keys were all afterimages, and he couldn't see which keys he pressed and which ones he didn't press.

The audience was the most obvious because they were on the spot, and after the melody of "Doomsday Rhapsody" sounded, everyone seemed to be drawn closer to a boundless disaster.

Music is one of the most amazing forces that can affect a person's mood, just like the weather.

When the sky is clear, I feel refreshed, and when the clouds are thick, I can't do anything.

As soon as "Doomsday Rhapsody" came out, everyone felt depressed from the bottom of their hearts, and a sense of despair was born, as if they had lost their love of life at this moment.

The clown really showed his piano skills to the peak this time.

Because Redface didn't accept his check, he had no bottom in his heart, so he had to take out the second hole card "Doomsday Rhapsody" to fight hard.

Reality proves that on the stage of the finals, this "Doomsday Rhapsody" is indeed shocking enough, and even the judges are moved, and William has a solemn face throughout the whole process.

In fact, no one has ever heard the piano music of "Rhapsody of Doom", let alone the full version.

So far, it's all been one side of the clown's words.

Although everyone is not sure whether this is "Doomsday Rhapsody", if you talk about the difficulty alone, it is enough to rank among the top ten difficult piano songs in the world.

Even "Memories of Hughes", performed by Panda, is not as difficult as this music.

"Is this really the forbidden song that has long been extinct?" the Manhattan School of Music judges couldn't help but touch their chins and muttered to themselves in disbelief.

In the audience, some of the players who came to watch the game had the same idea.

"I'm afraid the clown didn't lie, it's really Doomsday Rhapsody!"

"This is the most difficult piano piece in history!"

"The clown is too strong. ”

"It seems that this finals is not a red-faced show, but a close battle!"

All kinds of whispers rang out one after another.

Hearing these words, Carol and Yin Miaozhi both looked worried.

The hole card of the clown is too big, a "Doomsday Rhapsody", which directly blocks all the roads.

In the face of the world's most difficult piano music, what kind of music can have the power to fight?

Redface is also a contestant who takes the original route, can he still compare to Hardy and create a song that is more difficult than "Doomsday Rhapsody"?

So after the clown amazed the audience, He Xiao's friends were all heartbeats to their throats, and they were very nervous.

Composed at the last moment of Hardy's life, "Rhapsody of Doom" is a masterpiece of time music, and the duration of the whole piece reaches 30 minutes.

Performing such a difficult piano piece for 30 minutes in a row is also a physical task for the performer.

By the end of the clown's performance, his shirt was already soaked with sweat.

All eyes looking at the clown are complex.

Half an hour ago, everyone was still suspicious.

And half an hour later, everyone has confirmed that this is "Rhapsody of Doom".

Because throughout history, no one has ever composed such a crazy tune except Hardy.

"What an amazing performance, you may not know it, but the work performed by the clown player just now is the most difficult piano piece in the world, and it is also composed by the famous 19th century pianist Hardy Raleigh!"

Cami walked up to the stage and explained the origin of this music to the audience.

The rules of the finals are different from those of the semi-finals, and they will not be revealed after the judges have scored, but will be put away by the staff and put in a place where the live camera can be seen, waiting for the two rounds of performances to be over, and then revealed together.

The advantage of this is that favoritism is avoided, and the scores of each judge are kept confidential, and even the judges do not know how many points each other has scored, except for the audience.

The staff walked past the judges' seats one by one, encapsulated and put away everyone's scores, and finally put them into a transparent glass container, which was just right for the live broadcast camera to capture.

"Thank you to the clown contestants for their wonderful performances, and now please exchange stages for both contestants!"

After supervising the whole process, the host Cami glanced down at the cards in his hand, and then introduced them in a loud voice.

In an instant, a circular beam of light was dropped on the other side of the stage, where He Xiao was.

He and his piano instantly became the center of attention of the audience.

It's just that this time, everyone is not very optimistic about him.

After all, the Joker's work is too buggy, it is the lost "Doomsday Rhapsody" by the evil ghost Harty, with the title of the most difficult piano music in the world, even if the red face is extremely smart, it is a fool's dream to win.

Unless...... He can perform a piece of music of the same level.

But is it possible?

The people didn't believe it.

……

on stage.

Compared to the noise of the auditorium, it is much quieter.

He Xiao took a deep breath and lowered his gaze.

Can you fight the piano music of "Doomsday Rhapsody"?

It seems that this is the only way to go.

In the world of black phones, there is indeed a work that can rival "Rhapsody of Doom".

That is also known as the world's most difficult piano piece, "Piano Concerto No. 3"!

Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3, Op. 30, D minor, completed in September 1909 and premiered on November 28, 1909, is a large-scale work composed by the composer for a performance in the United States. This work occupies an important place in the piano concerto literature and is known as the "King of Piano Concertos".

"Rasan" has been called "the most difficult work in the world to play" and it is true to its name. Cyril Smith, a real-life Davy professor at the Royal Academy of Music, once described the physical effort of playing a "pull three" as equivalent to "shoveling ten tons of coal".

In November 1909, when Rachmaninov himself premiered in New York as a piano soloist, he also dubbed his concerto "an elephant's work" as a metaphor for its size and heaviness. In many respects, La 3 is an extension of the composer's masterpiece La 2 (Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor), but the former is obviously much more difficult to play than the latter.

He Xiao knows that this is probably the only work that can match "Doomsday Rhapsody"!
