"For the time being, it's called 'Piano Sonata in A major'!"

Li Zhifan said calmly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The full name of the piece he is going to play today is "Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 11 A in A major (KV.331)", which is generally referred to as "Mozart K331".

This is not only a sonata in the most Mozart style, but also a piano piece that is very familiar to people all over the world in a different time and space.

Hearing the name, most of the people at the scene silently recited it in their mouths.

Even including Wendi Li and a few judges!

Only the lead judge, Clyde Weil, said directly: "Start your playing!"

Li Zhifan nodded, turned around and walked to the piano and sat down.

Dozens of pairs of eyes on and off the stage are staring, waiting to hear how this most bizarre genius player in this competition will show his piano level.

said that he was strange because Li Zhifan actually played his own repertoire in the competition, even in today's semi-finals.

And saying that he is a genius, most people agree with this, and even Wendi Li has to admit how good that song "Bell" is!

Purely technical piano music, which itself has a particularly low demand for melodious and emotional sound.

Most of the classical etudes that have been handed down in this world are boring and lifeless.

Moreover, the ten most technically difficult piano pieces are all recognized as messy, and some master pianists can still enjoy playing them, and pianists who are slightly lower level play them, always giving people the feeling of being in a hurry.

But Li Zhifan broke this pattern by making these piano lovers realize that purely technical piano music can also be pleasing to the ear.

Today, Li Zhifan has brought another self-created track, will the difficulty of this time exceed "Zhong"?

Will it be another classic that can be discussed?

When Li Zhifan raised his hands and did not land on the keys in mid-air, the players in the audience became excited, staring without blinking, for fear of missing every second.

"It's going to be played, it's going to be played!"

"I'm so nervous!"

"It's not you who played, what are you nervous about?"

"Shh

In everyone's anticipation, the piano finally sounded!

Pulsating notes spilled all over the room!

The graceful melody is poetic and fantastical, bringing a touch of freshness and sunshine.

The first movement of K331 consists of a theme and six variations, also known as the Spring Sonata.

The theme is a two-part melody with a serene melody full of charm and a constant flow of short legato and staccato throughout the piece.

Li Zhifan's wrist is very naturally lifted after each small legato.

And during the staccato that follows, the wrist is raised at the same time as the arm very smoothly, as if cutting something.

The notes are clean and clear, with very few sustains, and the details are so well handled that even the dynamics of expression may not be able to be achieved by even a few judges.

After the theme, in measure 19, the musical style shifts and the first variation begins.

Due to the addition of rests to the melody, the rhythm of the theme changes, and the continuous 16th notes make the piece light and lively, full of jumps.

At the same time, the left-hand accompaniment rhythm is distinct and vibrant, the theme tone is disassembled and included in the backbone, and the left-hand octave accompaniment in the second half adds a sense of grandeur and depth to the music.

The players in the audience were suddenly shocked, and they all clenched their fists excitedly.

"It's changed!" someone whispered.

Someone has an open mouth and a face full of longing.

Some people didn't even dare to come out, for fear of disturbing themselves to listen carefully, and their eyes stared at every movement of Li Zhifan's hand.

The first part of the theme represents a change, and at measure 37, the music suddenly enters a second variation.

Li Zhifan's right hand added some ornamental notes, and the melody instantly became rich and gorgeous, and his left hand transformed into a continuous triplet, making the music more beautiful and smoother.

Several of the judges nodded silently, and according to the first theme of the music, two different pieces of music were played, and the two styles were paved layer by layer, without dragging the mud and water, and the combination was very wonderful.

However, to their surprise, when the piano piece entered measure 55, a third variation occurred.

The previous theme and the first and second variations were performed in A major, but in this third variation, which suddenly shifts to A minor, the mood of the music changes instantly, bringing out melancholy and sadness.

This "K331" was composed by Mozart in the second half of the 18th century, when Mozart's mother lived in Paris with him to take care of him, but unfortunately contracted a terrible wind chill, and soon after, Mozart's mother died in a foreign land, so there was a faint sadness in the third variation of this piano piece.

The first four bars go from weak to strong, and the last four bars are repeated at eight o'clock, adding a bit of dreamy color to this sad mood.

The song suddenly turned from relaxed to sad, which caught everyone on the scene off guard.

But Li Zhifan's performance, and the attraction of the piano music itself, quickly brought them into the scene, as if their souls were hooked by music.

Just when everyone was immersed in this atmosphere, the music suddenly turned back to A major, and the sound level was instantly richer and more three-dimensional, and the music color was brighter.

Clyde Weil's eyes lit up, he didn't expect that there would be a fourth variation, counting the previous theme, this is already the fifth section, and he is experienced, in this variation, he heard Li Zhifan use polyphony techniques in the vocal progression.

And I saw that while Li Zhifan was playing the chords with his right hand, his left hand actually crossed his right hand and overlapped and strengthened the middle voice in the high register.

Being able to do several variations that are different, but perfectly fit the theme, such a level of creation, Clyde Weil has never seen a second one in his life!

In measure 91, the fifth variation of the piano piece.

The pace of the strumming slows down a lot, and the melody fills the pastoral atmosphere.

In measure 110, the piano piece proceeds with its sixth variation.

This is the last variation of the first movement, and the players in the audience can no longer see it, because Li Zhifan's hands are running again with scales and broken chords, and with rapid octave jumps and arpeggios.

In terms of the intensity of the playing, there is a clear contrast between strength and weakness, and even if they don't have to look at it, they can hear the melody more lively and bright, and more passionate.

When Li Zhifan's hands played two chords vigorously on the piano, the audience was instantly pulled back from the music.

However, at this time, someone finally discovered a crucial problem!

That's a matter of time!

"Hey, are you paying attention to the time? It's been fourteen minutes!"

"Huh, isn't it?"

"I'll go, why does time pass so quickly!"

"Before you know it!"

"This is the sixth time, do you want to turn again?"

"You mean...... Isn't it over yet?"

Everyone stretched their necks to look at Li Zhifan in front of the piano, including which judges, and after glancing at the watch, they stared at Li Zhifan solemnly again.

The paragraph just now is obviously the end of the high-tide period!

Now that Li Zhifan has stopped, he should get up and leave, right?

However, no one expected it!

Li Zhifan actually put his hand on the keys again!

One of the judges couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice:

"What? He still wants to play?" (To be continued.) )
