"Now I announce that the runner-up winner of this Matthew International Piano Competition is...... Linda!"

Francis's voice was heard through the microphone.

Everyone was not surprised by this, and it was reasonable and expected. It's really yesterday that Jeff's "Late Autumn Whispers" was so good that it completely overshadowed Linda's light.

But even in second place, everyone still responded with warm applause.

Ye Wenxuan, who was sitting in the audience, also applauded with the rest, and there was no big fluctuation in his eyes, and he had already expected this result.

Jeff's original piano music is the strongest killer feature. Just like Ye Wenxuan, it is precisely because of his original works one by one that he has today's brilliant achievements.

No matter how high the skill is, it can't match the impressive impression of an original work that has been around for centuries. When it comes to performance skills, many piano masters in the world have reached a peak. But why are the piano masters at the top always those people?

It is because they have created classic and immortal movements, which is the confidence that they have always stood at the top of the world.

Like Matthew, he was the most brilliant pianist of the 19th century, creating one classic after another. So even though he died for nearly two hundred years, he was still praised by countless descendants.

is also like Ye Wenxuan, with three original songs, he has become the world's pinnacle pianist in one fell swoop, and he has enjoyed countless reputations.

In the midst of many applause, Francis once again loudly announced: "The winner of the Matthew International Piano Competition this time is ...... Jeff!"

The applause, which had been waning, became even more enthusiastic when Francis finished announcing the result.

The applause continued for about a minute before it subsided.

Ye Wenxuan got up, whispered to Lang Ping beside him, and then bowed his body and walked towards the backstage.

As the guest of honor, he is responsible for the award of the runner-up trophy, that is, Linda's trophy will be presented by him.

Ye Wenxuan came backstage, and the staff politely invited Ye Wenxuan to the edge of the stage.

Coming to the edge of the stage, Ye Wenxuan saw several acquaintances. Jeff and Linda are both there, and the rest is a piano master who is responsible for awarding the third-place trophy, Ye Wenxuan has a relationship with him, and he can be regarded as half an acquaintance.

Linda was still very happy to see Ye Wenxuan. It's not so easy to let go of emotional matters, but Linda is at least relieved.

"Brother Ye, you're here. Linda's voice was a little excited.

Ye Wenxuan bowed slightly, with a gentle smile on his face.

Jeff, who was in the back, saw Linda and Ye Wenxuan talking to each other, even if he had a good heart, he was a little annoyed at the moment.

He chatted with Linda for a long time just now, and Linda's smile was always a polite smile. But when she saw Ye Wenxuan, she had the most beautiful smile, which made Jeff feel how could he stand it.

Jeff took a deep breath, stepped forward, and greeted Ye Wenxuan: "Hello, Master Ye." ”

The art world has always been respected by those who have attained it, and with Ye Wenxuan's current status, except for the piano master who is at the same level as him, the rest of the pianists have to call Master Ye or Teacher Ye when they see Ye Wenxuan.

Ye Wenxuan heard Jeff's words, turned his head to look at Jeff, nodded, and said with a smile: "Hello Jeff, you played a great tune yesterday." ”

When Jeff heard this, he felt a little proud in his heart, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and he asked Ye Wenxuan: "Master Ye is an original person, my little skill is nothing, but I still want Master Ye to comment on it." ”

Although Jeff said one or two comments, his proud attitude shows his pride.

"It's a good tune, but you're still having some minor problems playing it. ”

Ye Wenxuan was not polite, since Jeff asked for advice, Ye Wenxuan was not stingy. With his masterful piano skills, coupled with countless classic songs from his previous life, it is no problem to teach Jeff from a high vantage point.

As soon as Ye Wenxuan's words came out, Jeff, Linda, and even the pianist Conrad on the other side all looked away.

Jeff was just polite, but he didn't expect Ye Wenxuan to really comment. This made Jeff very unconvinced, his own original tune was commented on by Ye Wenxuan, how could he be convinced.

"Your music has a lot of meaning, but a real piano piece is not only about having a sense of meaning, but also about having a story!"

"Artistic conception can only infect people's hearts, but stories can capture people's hearts. In the performance, pull all the audience into the story you have constructed yourself, you are sad for the audience, you like the audience, this is the highest level of performance. ”

"Why is it that some seemingly simple pieces can be juxtaposed with extremely difficult concertos to become timeless classics? It is precisely because of the creation that the story is given to the music and can be passed down from generation to generation, which is the true way to play. ”

Ye Wenxuan's voice was soft, and he used a metaphor to explain the Taoist reasons in it. This is also the reason that Ye Wenxuan only understood after practicing master-level piano skills, even when he had advanced piano skills, Ye Wenxuan did not understand.

When Conrad heard Ye Wenxuan's words, his brows tightened, and he seriously thought about what Ye Wenxuan said, as if a new world had been opened in his mind, and he had gained a lot.

Linda also thought about it, she now recalled what Ye Wenxuan taught her yesterday, asking her to abandon useless skills and strive to integrate emotions into it, and she also faintly realized at the moment.

After listening to Ye Wenxuan's words, Jeff felt that it seemed to be the same thing, and his teacher also faintly mentioned it. But he was just not convinced, maybe it was the psychology of his rival who was at work, and he didn't allow Ye Wenxuan to educate him in a guiding way.

He and Ye Wenxuan are both the same age, he won the championship of the Matthew International Piano Competition, and created a classic piano music at such a young age, he is now the proudest time, how can he succumb to Ye Wenxuan, he feels that he is not weaker than Ye Wenxuan at all!

"It's easy for you to say this, but who wouldn't talk big about it. You have to be able to do it concretely, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public if you only talk about theory. Jeff said unconvinced.

Conrad hesitated, but nodded, agreeing with Jeff's statement. After all, it is too general to say, and it is the clearest only when it is made.

Hearing Jeff's words, Ye Wenxuan shook his head indifferently and did not say anything to refute.

It doesn't matter to him whether he believes it or not, he has already clicked here, if the other party doesn't believe it, he has nothing to do, and he is benevolent and righteous.

With his status, he still bothered to argue with it, to put it bluntly, they ...... Not qualified!
