Chapter 390: Scene 6
As a modern female version of Chopin, Lin Weiyin has a wide reputation in the world, and in terms of emotional transmission alone, the timbre of "Waltz in A Minor" is simply wonderful, and the love conveyed in it, although there is no result, can still feel the sweetness and hesitation in it, which makes the pianists in the audience sigh.
"In 2020, I met Miss Lin at the Chopin Piano Competition, and she not only won the gold medal, but also broke the 15-year silence of the two consecutive gold medals, which lasted for 15 years...... At that time, it shook the entire world music scene. β
Now, three years later, she has become more and more adept at emotional transmission, and it is no wonder that many experts call her the successor of Chopin. β
"Our piano saint Mr. Andy may be in danger, but why is he still laughing? Oh, this playboy may have fallen in love with some beautiful girl at first sight!"
"Andy is good at a more comprehensive style of music, and in this regard, the only one who can compete with it may be Mr. Liao from Huaxia. β
"Yes, you think the same as I think, although Miss Lin's skills are extraordinary, it is very likely that it will be a showdown between Liao and Andy in the end. β
"Hey, have you forgotten Sean? This is the pianist that even President Kennedy fell in love with, the grandmaster who played in the White House. β
"It's actually not bad to have Marishi......"
Lin Weiyin's "Waltz in A Minor" made the audience intoxicated, and soon, the song was finished, and in the eyes of all the people, the Finnish pianist Andy came on the stage, and there was more enthusiastic applause at the scene, and some female compatriots were in good spirits.
Andy did fit the demeanor of a handsome grand pianist, bowing slightly to the audience with a greasy body, and then kissing his hands several times in a row, and sending them off the stage.
"This prodigal ......"
The men looked at each other and felt a little uncomfortable, but many of the women had already puffed up their hands excitedly.
Thunderous applause.
Andy sat down, and when everything was still, he smiled triumphantly and began to flutter his hands on the keys.
Andy is known for his tidal currents, and has been judged by many international media in the Nordic continent as one of the most promising young people today.
He is good at a variety of genres, so he is called the Nordic version of Liao Yuan by the Chinese domestic media.
And now what he is playing is Chopin's "Bolero Dance", which surprised many people, and some even suspected that Andy had not done his homework in advance, but even so, in the face of Lin Weiyin's "Waltz in A minor", he was really confident to win?
You must know that Lin Weiyin is called the female version of Chopin by the modern media and the music world, and this title is definitely not in vain......
Unlike the well-known Waltz in A minor, the Bolero is relatively less well-known, and there are two great versions on the market, one for Chopin and the other for Grand Pianist Ravel.
Andy is now playing Chopin's version, composed in 1832 and full of Chopin's boyhood.
"He actually played the Chopin series ......"
"Andy and Chopin belong to the same country, and although there is a difference of more than 200 years, his playing is indeed more similar to Chopin, full of strong Polish style. β
"The technique, the expression of emotion, is indeed perfect. β
"I'm getting more and more optimistic about Andy, and the way he plays is really intoxicating. β
"But...... In fact, after careful comparison, in fact, Miss Lin's performance is also amazing, and the two do not seem to have absolute advantages or inferiorities. β
"Yes, in this way, the judges' perception is more important. β
Andy's performance of the "Bolero" was full of enthusiasm, which had the spirit of knights and heroes, so that the audience couldn't help but nod their heads and enjoy their faces.
Liao Yuan sat in the audience, his hands crossed, and his face was a little dignified.
Wu Di whispered beside him: "Teacher, I think he plays very well, but not as good as you, I don't think you have to worry." β
Liao Yuan smiled, but he didn't say anything.
He is actually not worried about himself, even if he doesn't win the championship, it's nothing, but this time it's Lin Weiyin's competition with the other party, of course he hopes that Lin Weiyin can win this victory, but from Liao Yuan's point of view, whether it is Lin Weiyin's "Waltz in A minor" or Andy's "Bolero", there is actually not too obvious a gap between the two.
And because they are both Chopin's works, these two pieces have very similar performance styles in some subtleties, which makes it even more difficult for onlookers to choose.
Soon, when Andy's performance ended, after a little discussion, the judges gave the final answer to the competition.
"Congratulations, Miss Lin from Huaxia has won this victory. β
The audience was silent for two or three seconds, and then the applause gradually began to erupt.
Andy, who was originally smiling, instantly stiffened his expression after hearing this result.
"Impossible!"
He spoke out of control.
Many people around him looked at him.
Andy didn't realize the gaffe at all, and in the eyes of the people around him, he said in disbelief: "How could I possibly lose?"
Yes, how could it be possible to lose?
I'm a famous Polish pianist with amazing performances on the entire international stage, how could I lose?
"Andy, calm down!"
The agent stopped Andy from continuing to lose control, and said in a deep voice: "It's just a failure, summarize the experience of failure, and come back next time." β
In fact, even the agent didn't expect Andy to lose, because judging from the past performance, as long as Andy participates in the event, he is basically invincible.
At this time, one of the judges noticed the situation here, and said into the microphone: "In Chopin's series, the difficulty of "Bolero" is higher than that of "Waltz in A minor", but in terms of emotional performance, the latter is obviously more difficult, coupled with Miss Lin's performance, it is more evocative emotionally and impeccable in technique, so we decided that Miss Lin won after discussion." β
The audience gradually began to talk about it.
"I see. β
"Andy actually chose the wrong repertoire, since Miss Lin can get the gold medal of the Chopin International Competition, which has been vacant for fifteen years, she naturally has her superiority, in this era, Miss Lin is the modern version of Chopin, and it is obviously beyond her power to use Chopin's works to compete with Miss Lin. β
Andy is too proud and too complacent, maybe this failure can make him clearly realize his shortcomings. β
"Yes, he doesn't lack strength, but he is too complacent, and complacency makes him stop moving forward. β
"The so-called knowing oneself and knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, he should have a clear understanding of Miss Lin's information, if he understood it carefully, he would not use Chopin's works to compete with Miss Lin. β
"In terms of the emotional expression of Chopin's works, Miss Lin is definitely the No.1 of this era!"
No one can influence the judges' decision, and they can't change it.
Therefore, in the competition between Lin Weiyin and Finnish grand pianist Andy, Lin Weiyin won.
By this time, the tournament had reached its fifth time.
This competition is a duel between Japanese grand pianist Taro Sagawa and Russian-American pianist Sylvia Laura.
Although the gap between Taro Sagawa and Laura is too obvious in terms of fame and popularity of the two, in terms of strength performance, it is clear that Taro Sagawa, who is unknown, is superior, so in the fifth game, Taro Sagawa won an indisputable victory.
But that's not to say that Laura is a vase, because her performance is just as remarkable.
Soon, the game came to the sixth and final race.
