Chapter 376: The Point of No Return
"This person plays very relaxedly, and in terms of perception alone, he is much stronger than that Meng Han. ”
Fu Xiaoci said in an expert tone.
Wu Di laughed out loud: "Little porcelain sister, you are really an expert. ”
"It must be!"
Fu Xiaoci couldn't hide the pride in her heart, and glanced at Liao Yuan beautifully, expecting the same compliment, but Liao Yuan seemed to be indifferent, and even lowered his head and played with his mobile phone.
She was stunned for a moment, and continued to say to Wu Di: "Although my sister's strength is not good, my sister's eyes are really reading countless people, especially after staying with a palace-level god for a long time, these eyeballs are getting brighter and brighter. ”
Wu Di smiled and said yes.
At this time, George's playing entered the white heat, his playing style was a little wild, but the movement of the fingers playing the piano was extraordinarily quiet, this static and strange style, but the unique emotions in Chopin's works can be perfectly interpreted, it can be seen that George has formed his own unique style in piano playing.
Wu Di couldn't help but get serious, and quietly asked, "Teacher, what do you think of the strength of this George's Polish pianist?"
"Very strong. Liao Yuan raised his head: "But he looks like he's thirty years old, and he can't compare to you in terms of reflexes or upside." ”
Wu Di was slightly happy.
He knew that the teacher was right, the performer profession was similar to many athletes, the best state is always under the age of thirty, beyond the age of thirty, such as those dazzling works, it is difficult to control easily, after all, it is a huge mental and physical operation to achieve, such as Liszt's twelve etudes and the famous La San.
Therefore, older pianists usually do not try the works of Liszt and Rachmaninov lightly, but will play impressionist works such as Chopin or Debussy, and their performances will be attributed to the emotional, hazy and romantic schools.
In the Queen Elizabeth Piano Competition, although the auditions and knockout rounds are more biased towards such performers, as the competition gradually deepens, in the final semi-finals and even the finals, there will be more and more tendencies for all-round pianists.
Contestants must not only be able to play Chopin, but also be familiar with Liszt's works that are quick to become mad, which is the most fundamental difference between the Elizabeth Competition and the Chopin Piano Competition, and the reason why all competitions basically eliminate participants over the age of 30.
At the end of George's performance, the judges combined various judging criteria and finally gave George the highest score in the audience of 96.
The pianists present all felt a tremendous amount of pressure.
The world-famous musicians gathered together to compete on the same stage, which opened the eyes of all the top pianists in the original region, and at the same time, they also deeply realized their own insignificance.
“96……”
Offstage, Meng Han applauded like a crowd while looking at the dazzling George on the stage, with a gap of 14 points more than himself, which made Meng Han feel ashamed, and his cheeks became more and more hot.
He had never heard of the name George, and he was also annoyed by the other party's verbal discrimination, but it was undeniable that the other party was indeed better than his own performance, and even if he did not make a mistake today, it may be difficult to reach the level of the other party's performance.
So, is it really like this Polish pianist said that Chopin's works can only be played by Europeans, Poles?
Of course not!
Meng Han thought of Lin Weiyin, he clearly remembered how eye-catching Lin Weiyin was at the Chopin Piano Competition three years ago, the judges were crazy about her performance, if you talk about the performance level of Chopin's works, in the whole world music scene, Lin Weiyin is definitely in the first echelon, and is one of the best god-level pianists!
Although George's performance is indeed superb, it is still far from Lin Weiyin!
This is Meng Han's most determined point.
The Chopin Piano Competition has been vacant for two gold medals, and in each competition, pianists from all over the world will flock to it, but only Lin Weiyin won the crown, which alone is enough to show Lin Weiyin's strong strength.
It's just that......
After all, he was still unwilling.
Meng Han stared at George deadly, looking at the other party's contemptuous gaze, his fists clenched and loosened, and his mood fluctuated.
Is it really so unbearable to be the bronze medalist of the Chopin Piano Competition?
Can anyone step on themselves? Or, in the past three years, his strength has declined too fast, and he has been blindfolded by the world of flowers?
Just when Meng Han fell into painful thinking, the competition time gradually passed, and the second Chinese female pianist appeared, her name is Wang Sa, a native of Rongcheng, China, from the Qiao Kai Conservatory of Music in London, twenty-three years old, without any fame in China, but in a fierce performance, she received a high score of 92, which attracted the attention of the scene.
Subsequently, a third Chinese pianist appeared.
"Come on!" Fu Xiaoci cheered Wu Di up.
Wu Di nodded heavily, then looked at Liao Yuan, bowed, and said, "I won't embarrass the teacher!"
Liao Yuan smiled, "I'm not your teacher." ”
"No, you are my teacher, always!" Wu Di straightened up, and without waiting for Liao Yuan to answer, he walked towards the competition stage.
Liao Yuan looked helpless.
At this time, reporters around the scene sped up their photo speed.
The whole scene also began to buzz with discussions.
Wu Di's participation has caused a sensation in the entire world music scene before, after all, he was the piano champion of the Tchaikovsky Competition last year, and even after a year, it still has a huge popularity.
Therefore, like Liao Yuan, Wu Di was also specially explained by the official Twitter of the competition after the competition, and he is a star-level player.
The most important thing is that Wu Di, who has just come of age, is the youngest of all the contestants in the entire Queen Elizabeth Competition, and this alone is legendary.
Therefore, when Wu Di walked on the stage, although he was wearing formal clothes, his immature face still surprised everyone.
The judges looked at the information about Wu Di in their hands, and they were also in good spirits.
The Tchaikovsky Competition, the Queen Elizabeth Competition, and the Chopin International Piano Competition are known as the world's three top music competitions.
At this moment, Wu Di made a brief self-introduction and reported the piano music he wanted to play.
"Franz Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2. ”
There was silence.
"Hungarian Rhapsody" is a group of piano pieces written by the grand pianist Liszt, the whole group has 19 pieces, all of which are based on the theme of the tone of Hungarian folk songs at that time, among them, the second is the most famous, its melody is either slow and solemn, showing the Hungarian people's grief and accusation of national misfortune, or full of speed, showing the Hungarian people's bold, optimistic, enthusiastic national character.
Wu Di is an avid fan of Liszt, and has played Liszt's repertoire many times in the Tchaikovsky Competition, and later after Liao Yuan's guidance, his strength skyrocketed, and he was out of control in showing off his skills, and finally won the Chai Prize, but since then he has also embarked on a road of no return.
