Chapter 277: Finals
The second day of the Tchaikovsky Competition officially began.
The real-time broadcast of "Schindler's List" on Twitter and other social networks directly led to the almost overcrowding of the violin group, but the rules of the second day of the competition were different from yesterday, and the contestants needed to perform according to the repertoire list listed by the organizing committee.
But even so, Pei Hongyu's performance is still one of the best in the whole group, and a piece of Mozart's "Symphony No. 40 in G minor" was played in the form of violin, causing thunderous applause from the audience.
However, compared to yesterday's performance, it was not as impressive as people expected, so the final average score was only 8.5 points, but it still made the cut.
On the other side, the competition of the piano group also officially began.
Among the ten classical piano pieces listed by the jury, Wu Di singled out Johann Strauss's "Blue Danube", the father of waltzes, and won the praise of the on-site judges for its excellent rhythm.
Liao Yuan once again gave a high score of 8.8.
But the media reporters, listeners, and judges present were numb to this and did not feel too much surprise.
After all, Nicole, Tokugawa Haruaki and others played, and Liao Yuan did not score low.
Soon, the second day of the competition ended, and on this day, a third of the players were eliminated again, and only 12 players in the whole field made the cut, including Nicole, Tokugawa Haruaki and Wu Di from Huaxia.
In tomorrow's game, nearly two-thirds of the players will be eliminated, and there are only five places that can be promoted.
The atmosphere is getting more and more tense.
The third day of the competition is the second round of the semi-finals, and the contestants will compete by playing the concerto of Maestro Tchaikovsky.
At this point, the test is the players' understanding of the Tchaikovsky competition.
In the afternoon of this day, after the event, in order to relax Pei Hongyu, Liao Yuan took her around the Tchaikovsky Conservatory, so that she could experience the style of the Chai Academy, and at the same time, he also told Pei Hongyu some of his own ideas and ideas.
"Classical music is needed more than ever in our time. ”
Liao Yuan sat on the lawn of the campus: "The tranquility and far-reaching nature of classical music creates a kind of fantasy that is not in real life, which is enough to give a moment of respite to modern people who are competitive, busy, physically and mentally exhausted and anxious all day long." ”
After speaking, he looked at Pei Hongyu: "Why do you like classical music?"
Pei Hongyu hesitated for a moment and said: "I feel that classical music is very beautiful, and what it expresses is the kind of sublime and majestic, magnificent and majestic beauty, which is very rare in pop music. ”
Liao Yuan smiled slightly: "Yes, this kind of beauty that makes people feel sublime and divine can indeed only be found in classical music now, if there is no tuning of classical music, life will be much harder." ”
"What's your dream?" he asked again.
Pei Hongyu seemed a little nervous, she picked a green leaf, kneaded it gently, and said after a while: " I learned the piano from the age of five to the present, I have seen countless masters' interpretations, and I have been pursuing the life in the sound of the piano, the pursuit of the so-called unity of the human piano, until that day, I met a so-called master, she told me that the purpose of learning the piano is only to add points to the college entrance examination, and there is no need to invest too much energy and feelings, at that time, I was confused, and the university was spent in a muddy nightmare, but now I am sober, I want to be a great musician like the boss you. ”
Liao Yuan was stunned: "Do you think I'm great?"
"Yes, because of you, more and more people like classical music, and now the whole country is learning piano children to follow your example, even in textbooks there are your works, you will be remembered for generations to come, even now, in foreign countries, you are admired everywhere. ”
Pei Hongyu said seriously: "I think this is a great achievement for a musician, and it should also be the meaning of our existence." ”
Liao Yuan smiled and changed the subject: "Are you sure tomorrow?"
"Yes, I think I should be able to qualify. Pei Hongyu said firmly.
Liao Yuan stood up, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "If you get the first place, I will fulfill my promise and help you arrange the new album and the preparation of the concert as soon as possible, I wish you good luck." ”
"Thank you. ”
Pei Hongyu bowed to Liao's distant back and said, "I won't let you down." ”
......
On the third day of the competition, after two days of competition, everyone had a sense of nervousness.
Because today, it will be decided whether the teams will return victoriously.
After today, the top five teams will be selected to advance to the finals, where they will receive medals, competition certificates and a number of prize money, regardless of whether they win or lose.
Wu Di sat on the player's seat, a trace of sweat in his palms.
After two days of elimination, there are only 12 players left, and after today, there are only five places that can be left in the end.
This is a moment comparable to a life-and-death decision.
There was no more laughter in the entire bench.
Every contestant had a solemn look on their faces, and even Nicole, who was lively and cheerful before, was just silently staring at her fingertips at the moment, not knowing what she was thinking.
Finally, the game began, and the first to appear was Haruaki Tokugawa.
The jury gave Tchaikovsky two piano pieces for Tokugawa to choose from, one for the famous Piano Concerto No. 1 in B flat minor and the other for the June Boat Song.
One is a concerto and the other is a solo piece, and the choice of the latter is undoubtedly a very flattering thing, because concertos are generally performed by multiple people, and the momentum of a solo solo will be much weakened and thankless.
But Tokugawa Haruaki did not hesitate and confidently chose "Piano Concerto No. 1 in B flat minor".
It is the most famous piano concerto of Tchaikovsky's life, and it is also a mandatory repertoire for many university professors to perform in public lectures, and is performed by many first-class pianists.
This piano piece has a certain difficulty in grasping emotions, and the main theme needs to have a cheerful and unrestrained mood.
The sub-main part needs to be very lyrical and beautiful.
All kinds of emotions are intertwined, and it is difficult to perform perfectly by not a world-class pianist, and it is also the most difficult piece in this round of competition.
The applause rang out like thunder.
Haruaki Tokugawa walked onto the stage, sat down in front of the piano, and after a little preparation, began to play in front of the audience.
......
On the other hand, the violin competition has entered a white-hot stage.
Because there are only five promotion places, all the players have no reservations, and almost all of them have worked hard to press the bottom of the box.
Miyamoto played the Violin Concerto in D major, which lasted more than 15 minutes, and this piece is also Tchaikovsky's most famous violin work.
The whole song is always full of tense strength, and the occasional gentleness in the middle makes this song more relaxed and makes people feel comfortable.
There is no doubt that Miyamoto Chaoyang put a lot of effort into the practice of this "Violin Concerto in D major".
This gave her a high score of 9.2, temporarily ranking first in the game.
But when Pei Hongyu appeared, all this changed again.
