Chapter 394: Sean

Lin Weiyin's song "Grand Polonaise Dance" made the audience boil, and many Chopin lovers were even more fascinated and felt that they were worthy of the trip.

As many people guess, the more critical the moment, the more the players will pour out their unique skills at the bottom of the box.

And whether it is mental state or personal skills, the performance of the players is more outstanding than in the previous games.

Lin Weiyin's wonderful performance made the opponent Sean look solemn.

Now the top six players are almost all championship seeds, and they all have the strength of no less than the champion.

The most important thing is to look at the ability to play on the spot.

There is no doubt that Lin Weiyin's performance this time is definitely at the peak.

As one of America's leading pianists, Sean's life should have been full of ups and downs, he was born in the slums of Africa, he was hungry since he was a child, skinny, he had never seen his biological parents since he was born, and after a fainting due to deep hunger and malnutrition, he was adopted by a welfare institution and began to study culture.

That year, he was five years old.

Soon after, under the leadership of the teachers in the welfare home, Sean began to cultivate hobbies.

At that time, Sean, who was only six years old, showed excellent talent in music, especially in piano skills, surpassing or even crushing his peers, and what is even more gratifying is that Sean's obsession with music is also more than ordinary people.

Hobbies and hobbies determine the rest of your life.

Since then, the welfare institute has decided to carry forward Sean's hobby.

A year later, Sean, who was doing well, was adopted by a music teacher couple in Mauritius, on the African continent.

Mauritius is one of the few developed rich countries in Africa, with a relatively wealthy life and a relatively developed economy, known as the "Switzerland of Africa", and the adoptive parents' family is a standard middle class in the whole of Mauritius, and definitely has the economic strength to adopt Sean.

Since then, under the education of his adoptive parents, Sean has begun to overcome obstacles in various music competitions and is invincible.

In various large and small piano competitions throughout Europe and the United States, Sean's performance has attracted the attention of many music academies, and Sean, who is only thirteen years old, was admitted to the Hannover Conservatory in Germany in advance.

The Hannover Conservatory is one of the most famous public conservatories in Germany and the world.

Its popularity in the European and American music circles is equivalent to the status of Harvard University in the world's academic forest, and its piano major is known as the Oxford of the piano world, with four or five world-famous masters teaching in the department, which can be said to be unsurpassed in the world.

At the age of twenty-four, Sean was invited to the White House to play, and was not only personally entertained by US President John F. Kennedy, but also sent a green card.

Last year, he won a Grammy Award for his composition.

Prior to that, Sean had also won many awards such as German Classical Echo.

Now, at the age of twenty-seven, Sean can be said to shoulder the hope of the entire European and American continents at this year's Queen Elizabeth Piano Competition.

Because except for Sean, the other five players are all from Asia.

This was something that seemed incredible in the past.

But that's exactly what happened, and the rise of Asian musicians has shocked the world.

Lin Weiyin alone has already doubled the pressure on Sean, not to mention the man who is eyeing him offstage.

"Liao Yuan......"

Sean took a deep breath and silently waited for Lin Weiyin to finish playing, and then in a round of applause, he stood up and walked towards the stage.

At this moment, the whole world is watching, even after countless events, but the journey from the player to the stage is always the most difficult moment for Sean.

However, all this discomfort dissipated when he sat on the piano bench and touched the black and white keyboard with both hands.

In the face of the piano, he has a strong self-confidence.

Lin Weiyin's performance of "Grand Polonaise Dance" has been called the pinnacle of the Chopin series, and in terms of emotional expression, Lin Weiyin is already unparalleled in the world, after all, he is the gold medal winner of the Chopin Piano Competition.

Therefore, Sean clearly knew that even if he was himself, he was not too sure to compete with Lin Weiyin, so he chose another strange path like yesterday's Arima Lishi when facing Liao Yuan.

He remembered the pianist Balakiev's Islam.

Balakiyev was an excellent pianist, he played the piano from memory and never read music. He composed a set of highly technical piano works, the most famous of which is this "Islam".

Although the difficulty of the round is not as good as Rachmaninoff's "Piano Concerto No. 3", Liszt's "Ghost Fire" is in the same sequence, and even surpasses.

It is an extremely difficult piece to perform, the product of Balakirev's 1870 trip to the Caucasus, and the subtitle of this work is "Oriental Fantasia".

The work is divided into three sections: the lead begins to express the theme, then the middle section plays an emotional Andante, and finally the finale, which picks up the tempo and returns to the theme.

The coda is a very frenetic and intense rush.

Because of its extreme difficulty, it requires a high level of skill from the player, so many pianists see it as a challenge.

For the piano lovers in the audience, when they heard the first key pressed by Sean, they felt a layer of goosebumps all over their bodies.

This is the most difficult piano piece that has appeared since the Top 12.

The series of harmonies, the continuous percussion and acceleration, the strength and weakness of the piano sound, at this moment, hit the face like a violent wind and waves, making people can't help but suffocate even more.

Offstage, Wu Di's eyes suddenly brightened.

This is the top pianist he has seen other than his teacher, who is known for his speed.

Seeing Sean's slender and swarthy ten fingers jumping back and forth on the black and white keys, and the fast speed was not clear at all, which aroused a strong fighting intent in Wu Di's heart, so that his hands between his knees couldn't help but tremble, and he kept bouncing with the sound of the piano.

As an opponent, Lin Weiyin's heart was as calm as a lake after witnessing Sean's strength.

She is known for her emotional expression, and Sean, a pianist who is known for her show-off skills and speed, belong to two different paths.

She represents the top of the ranks, and Sean ......

At least from Lin Weiyin's point of view, Sean's show-off skills seem to be a little worse than his man Liao Yuan.

After all, that is the man who played Rachmaninoff's "Piano Concerto No. 3", and he is the great pianist who composed "Immortal Chapter" himself!

Lin Weiyin raised her jaw slightly.
