Of all Chopin's works, the Piano Concerto No. 1 in E minor is definitely a moving poem, especially its first movement, which haunts the soul of the listener and has a special biblical status in the minds of many piano lovers.

Many people's fascination with Chopin began with this concerto, which has been produced for more than 200 years, during which dozens of classical versions have been born.

It's even harder to surpass these classics.

Especially in the competition field, it is more difficult to rely on this well-known movement to win, and it is not only the strength of the performance that is tested, but also the ability to react and express on the spot.

Therefore, although Meng Han practiced day and night for today's performance, when he really played, his personal mood inevitably fluctuated, and such fluctuations made his piano sound so tight.

It gives people the illusion that they are like an arrow on the bow and have to send it.

More than 200 years ago, Chopin wrote to a friend that he made it clear that he did not ask for a strong force to be played in this concerto, but that everything was based on a romantic, calm and slightly melancholy state of mind, in order to deepen the impression of the bright moon and a good night in the spring in the listener's mind.

And the current Meng Han obviously goes against Chopin's original intention of writing this piece.

He played the first movement, but the sound was tense, as if there were countless carriages chasing after him, and like a child who had made a mistake, he looked helpless.

In fact, Meng Han also clearly recognized this.

Sweat appeared on his forehead, and he knew that once the tempo was raised, it would be impossible to stop, and he would either continue the conversation or stop playing, and not try to ease the melody, which would make the whole piece seem more abrupt.

It was also in this fast-paced performance that Meng Han played the entire piece completely.

"It's over!"

Meng Han had a look of chagrin on his face, and when he stood up and saluted the judges and the audience at the scene, although the applause continued, he clearly saw the mockery in people's eyes, and the ridicule on the corners of his mouth.

He felt his heart throb violently, and subconsciously looked at the corner of the player's seat.

At that moment, although the man's expression was not sad or happy, his face was ruthless, but his applause seemed to be very hard.

"What is this?mercy?" Meng Han walked off the stage in disappointment.

Subsequently, after the judges have been agreed, Meng Han's final score was 82 points, barely on the verge of crossing the line, and whether he can successfully advance to the next round depends on the results of the subsequent players.

"Does he know us?"

Offstage, Fu Xiaoci asked curiously, "What kind of eyes are that? We owe him money?"

"It's kind of an acquaintance, I had a relationship with him. ”

Liao Yuan's slender fingers tapped slowly on his knees, "There have been some small contradictions, but they are not major events, they are all Chinese, and they should be consistent with the outside world when they go abroad, and not engage in internal contradictions." ”

"Hey, Brother Yuan, what you said is very leader-like!" Fu Xiaoci grinned.

At this time, a young man wearing a peaked cap came to the seat behind Liao Yuan, and after changing seats with the people there, he whispered to Liao Yuan: "Teacher......"

When Liao Yuan heard the voice, he turned back in confusion, and when he saw the appearance of the young man, he was a little surprised: "Wu Di?"

Wu Di looked a little excited, "Teacher, it's really a coincidence, we are in the same hall." ”

"It's a coincidence. Liao Yuan smiled slightly.

After Wu Di won the championship of the Tchaikovsky Competition last year, he was in the limelight at home and abroad for a while, and almost won the same treatment as when Lin Weiyin won the Chopin Gold Medal that year.

It is worth mentioning that after Wu Di won the Chai Prize, he has always regarded himself as a disciple of Liao Yuan, and in some interviews, he often talked about the details of the exchange with Liao Yuan in the Tchaikovsky Competition.

"Teacher, your outfit today is really cool. ”

Wu Di looked at Liao Yuan's makeup and said seriously: "I will also ask my assistant to put on such makeup for me tomorrow." ”

Liao Yuan couldn't cry or laugh.

At this time, a new round of contestant performances began, and the audience fell silent and began to listen to the performances of the new contestants.

To people's surprise, the new contestant performed Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 1, and it was also the same first movement.

This was a bit of a surprise, and one of the judges asked repeatedly, "Are you sure?"

"Sure. The new contestant said confidently: "There is no gap without comparison, I believe in Chopin's work, we Poles understand the spirit and meaning better." ”

As soon as the words fell, some people at the scene applauded.

Although it quickly fell silent, the scene was impressive.

But Meng Han, who had just stepped down, suddenly turned red, this obvious racial discrimination made him feel very uncomfortable and even a little annoyed.

But what the other party says is not leaky, and it is a little inappropriate to accuse the other party of discrimination.

"My name is George Ron, I'm from Warsaw, Poland, I'm from the same place as Chopin, remember my name. ”

After introducing themselves, the new contestants sat down on the piano bench, glanced at the audience, and then began to play.

"This big hook nose ......"

Offstage, Fu Xiaoci said angrily: "What kind of eyes is he?

"Little porcelain sister, I think he is provoking the teacher. ”

Wu Di whispered: "George was originally a college piano teacher, although he didn't win any awards, but his performance videos are very famous and strong on the Internet. However, because he is a well-known racist, he is very unlikeable, which also makes him lose his job, but it is undeniable that he is indeed a very powerful pianist. ”

"Stinky boy, do you know what it means to increase the anger of others and destroy their own prestige?"

Fu Xiaoci was even more angry, and raised his hand to knock on Wu Di's cap hard, attracting the attention of the people around him.

Liao Yuan spoke: "Quiet." ”

Wu Di immediately closed his mouth.

Fu Xiaoci threw all her resentment on the Polish hawk-nosed man on the stage, but soon, she was a little surprised.

This man named George, although he is very arrogant, but his performance strength is really strong, a "Chopin Piano No. 1", played by him with tenderness like water, as if to immerse people in the endless tenderness, unable to extricate themselves.

Compared with Meng Han, both the rhythm and the expression of emotions are obviously superior.
