Chapter 171: Majepa
Julian stared at Jiang Li, as if he wanted to see the flowers on Jiang Li's face, after encountering the other party last night, the captain specially told him that if he met Jiang Li in the follow-up game, he must not underestimate the enemy, he never saw Felix show that solemn look, which made him very unwilling and disagreed, so he made a move, two carefully prepared original tunes, Jiang Li, you can just catch it!
Jiang Li used a total of five original tunes in the previous competition, and this time he promised to use one, and now he should have run out of food, and everyone couldn't help but feel sorry for him, how good it would be to save it in the qualifiers.
Under the gaze of one after another, Jiang Li slowly raised his hand, and just when everyone didn't know why, he calmly announced...... An original song has been added!
Wow - people had extremely incredible expressions on their faces, and even some judges couldn't help but exclaim, this guy is too terrible!
When Jiang Li's fans heard the news, they were so excited that they danced as if no one was around the occasion, and let out a strange scream as if they were cathartic, and for a while, surprise, surprise, palpitations, envy, jealousy and hatred, all kinds of reactions and psychology converged into a river, surging towards Jiang Li, and he did not move.
Lu Ming's face darkened again, his fists clenched, his knuckles creaked, he couldn't imagine at all, how could Jiang Li have so many hole cards! Even Mu Yu couldn't defend Jiang Li like this, right? Could it really be Jiang Li's original? No, no way, he would never admit it.
Julian glanced at Jiang Li deeply, walked on the stage, and began his own performance, since the number of original songs is the same, then if you want to win, you can only win in quality, "Ghost Fire" is very strong, strong enough to make him frightened. But the other party's original songs can't all be of this level, right?
Two of his original pieces were created over the course of many years under the guidance of a well-known musician in Germany and Italy, and Julian is confident in the quality of the pieces.
The performance lasted more than half an hour, and Julian stood up, and the audience burst into applause. His performances are wonderful, and the quality of his two original pieces is above standard.
It was Jiang Li's turn to take the stage, the audience was silent, so quiet that a pin could be heard dropping, Julian looked at the slightly thin but calm figure, and there was a vague sense of foreboding in his heart, wouldn't it?
Tang Shishi sat on the sofa and hugged Shu Yutong tightly, and her hands climbed up to the other party's plump breasts at some point, and the degree of squeezing and deformation represented the tension in her mood now. Shu Yutong frowned, with a hint of blush on his face, but because he was too concerned about the figure on the TV, he didn't have time to let Tang Shishi remove his hands.
The air was like stagnant water, unable to flow smoothly, and finally, it was broken by the beautiful sound of the piano and began to flow with a clatter.
The first piano piece is not an original piece. The second one is not, and the third is still not. Finally, for the fourth piece in a row, the long-awaited original song arrived!
The pace is not too fast at the beginning, it is more monotonous and boring, but it is very fast, in the middle of the game. began to become flexible and agitated, Jiang Li's flying fingers were like ghosts dancing, not listening to the sound, just looking at the fingers, they were so pleasing to the eye. In fact, the angle of the camera is now aimed at Jiang Li's hands, and many viewers' attention is also on them, those ten slender and powerful fingers, as if they were born to play the piano.
Then the rhythm became faster and faster, and when it came to zuihou for a while, it was even faster than a shadow, the fingers moved on the keys, and people were surprised to find that it was like a phantom crossing the forest, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and they couldn't see clearly, even the sound of the piano became faintly hazy, but it was clearly transmitted into people's ears, no, it was straight to the bottom of the heart, these two diametrically opposed feelings were perfectly blended together, people's heartbeats seemed to be synchronized with the sound of the piano, becoming an unknown object vibrating at a very high frequency, hands clenched involuntarily, and the body seemed to be stretched like a string on the piano that Jiang Li was playing, oscillating, oscillating, oscillating, accelerating, speeding up, speeding up, and the pitch was getting higher and higher, until the highest place, abruptly stopped!
Syllable!
I don't know whose pen fell to the ground.
The picture of the TV is frozen on Jiang Li's thin face covered with beads of sweat, in fact, whether it is playing "Ghost Fire" or this "Phantom", it is definitely a big test for Jiang Li's physical strength, and sometimes he even has to use the white energy of the music palace to maintain it.
This five-minute "Phantom" is the sixth of Liszt's supertechnical etudes, and although it is much less famous than "Ghost Fire", it is also a high-quality high-class concert etude, which threw Julian's original song eighteen streets away at once, however, this is not the end, just when most people are still immersed in the melody of "Phantom" and can't extricate themselves, suddenly, Jiang Li's hands jump and land like springs, and the loud sound of the piano makes everyone wake up suddenly, and their heartbeats almost jump out of their throats.
and "Phantom" Jiang Li's hands opened and closed, moving from the left to the right of the keys, and from the right to the left, and constantly jumping, the body undulated and swayed, like waves advancing the music layer by layer, the middle melody was somewhat elegant and sad, calm and sad, as if to soothe people's moods, but before the heartbeat completely fell back, it turned into intense again, advancing layer by layer, until Zuihou had a charming ending, and the whole piece was over。
Even if there is a lesson from the past of "Ghost Fire", people are already mentally prepared, and at this time, they can only collapse on the chair like running a difficult and bloody marathon, and their chests rise and fall violently.
This more than seven-minute "Majepa" is the fourth piece of Liszt's supertechnical etudes, and it is definitely a work that makes pianists daunting, the whole piece is full of brilliant colors and jaw-dropping dazzling skills, a hodgepodge of all kinds of difficult jishu, arpeggios, double tones, chords, thirds, octaves of both hands, big jumps, majestic, devastating, and pouring thousands of miles!
Although "Ghost Fire" was praised by Rachmaninov as "the most difficult etude", in fact, "Majepa" is definitely no less difficult than "Ghost Fire", and compared with "Ghost Fire", which is obscure and even almost inexplicable, the meaning of "Majepa" is also more distinct and prominent.
The title of "Matepa" comes from the Ukrainian national hero Matepa, who served as a guard in the court of the Polish king when he was young, and was later discovered by the nobles in fornicating with a noble lady, so he was stripped naked and tied to a horse, banished to the wilderness, rescued in Ukraine when he was dying, and joined the Cossack cavalry, becoming a hero because of his bravery and good fighting, and Liszt's symphonic poem of the same name, Shijie writer Hugo also wrote a long poem on this theme.
This etude is a piano that expresses an almost symphonic brilliant effect, and it also seems to depict the twists and turns of Mazepa's life with the sound of the piano, and the elegant and sad melody in the middle may symbolize the poignant and unrecognized aiqing of Majepa and the noble lady, Majepa then encountered a great disaster in his life and fell into the darkest period of his life, but he did not compromise and give up, but relied on an indomitable will to survive and struggle spirit from suffering to victory and light, and found the value and meaning of his existence!
As far as Jiang Li is concerned, he likes "Majepa" more than "Ghost Fire", he likes the tenacious will revealed in "Majepa", everyone has a heroic dream, maybe they can't become a real hero, but at least they can persevere for their families and ideals, in that way, they are already big heroes in life!
One second, two seconds...... More than ten seconds passed, Mu Yu was the first to wake up, the first to applaud, and then everyone applauded, and even some people couldn't help but stand up and applaud, thunderous applause swept through the first concert hall, the audience couldn't help but applaud, this Enning Piano Competition, no matter where Jiang Li goes, just with these few etudes, it is enough to make the world pay attention!
Jiang Li stood up and bowed deeply to everyone, and when he walked down the stage, the people still did not stop applauding, until his hands were red, and then gradually stopped.
Lu Ming's face was red and black, he had fallen into a dead end of jealousy Jiang Li who deliberately despised Jiang Li and then was slapped in the face by Jiang Li, his mood was like going up and down like a train, Mu Yu's evaluation of him "unstable heart, easy to be jealous, easy to be irritable and arrogant" can be said to be to the point, but he himself has not realized this serious problem, or he can't control it at all.
Jiang Li's opponent in this game, Julian, had lost the confidence to win from the end of "Phantom", and when "Majepa" began to play, he collapsed in his seat in defeat, and couldn't get up at all, he finally understood how correct Captain Felix's warning was, this Jiang Li was simply a pervert, if these etudes were really composed by the other party, he really wanted to die head-on.
When the competition arrangement was announced, someone in the team congratulated him, saying that Jiang Li's piano level was actually very weak, even if it was really good, it was enough to crush the other party with original tunes, and now, on the contrary, he had been crushed by Jiang Li so much that he couldn't even straighten his waist.
The applause lasted for a long time, but the judging process was ridiculously fast, even faster than after Jiang Li played "Ghost Fire", in just thirty seconds, the unanimous vote passed, and the winner of this scene was, Jiang Li of Huaxia!
When President Thomas's voice echoed in the First Concert Hall, Huaxia resounded with enthusiastic cheers, like a boiling ocean, and even those who opposed Jiang Li were infected by this atmosphere, Jiang Li's exquisite performance skills, and the extremely high level of the music, and their faces were slightly ashamed.
Jiang Li, successfully advanced to the top 18, one step closer to the top six! (To be continued......
