Chapter 178: Light Music
Light music, as the name suggests, is a kind of music that sounds very "light", it can be light and lively, it can also be light and soothing, or it can be relaxed and pleasant, which is different from rock music disco and other music with strong rhythms, generally without lyrics, pure instrumental performance, some people generally classify it as pop music, in fact, it is a very wrong idea, to be precise, light music is a special type of music between classical music and pop music.
As we all know, classical music often has a heavy texture, a huge structure and scale, a dignified musical thought, and a profound ideological connotation, which is serious and dignified, and is not easy to approach, while light music, on the contrary, has a light texture, a small and simple structure, a bright and stretched rhythm, a beautiful melody, and a sound in the ears, just like a cup of herbal tea in summer, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.
Light music does not have the distinctive characteristics of the times and a sense of social criticism like classical music, nor is it like pop music, which is mostly reduced to a tool for making money, and is suspected of kitsch.
However, it is more accurate to say that it is a compromise between the two stark opposites, which can be said to be the "third shili" of music, and it is worth mentioning that many light music are adapted from classical music and pop music, from which it can also be seen that the complex relationship and origin between light music and the two are cut and messed up.
Classical and modern flavor both, gorgeous but not gaudy, romantic but not frivolous, lyrical but not lingering, both easy to understand, approachable, elegant style, extraordinary demeanor, this is light music, classical music fans do not think it is vulgar, pop music lovers can also accept, can be described as elegant and vulgar appreciation. This characteristic has made it widely popular, and in Hara Shijie, representative works of light music include Hisaishi's "Castle in the Sky" and Bandari's "First Snow".
But here, at the scene of the sixth round of the Enning Piano Competition, it is undoubtedly a very unwise choice to play light music, after all, light music is different from classical music. And this contest is held for classical music, and it can even be said that Milena chose to use this light music as an original song, not adding points, but subtracting points.
Captain Ike of the Jace team was dumbfounded, what was going on? He didn't understand at all, didn't Milena still have an original piece of classical music? He had always thought that was the one that Milena used for the finale, but he didn't expect this light music to come out of nowhere, oh my God!
Milena's teacher, President Thomas, frowned slightly. Some of the audience couldn't help but sigh, could it be that this ace and princess of Jie Si are so poor in their skills at this juncture that they can only use light music to make up the numbers? But even those stereotypical old guys in the judges have to admit that this light music is indeed very beautiful and refreshing, especially when listening to classical music for nearly ten days in a row, it feels particularly intimate. It's all refreshing.
When others speculate wildly and find it unbelievable and incomprehensible. Jiang Li was stunned, and immediately realized.
If he had a low appreciation of music before, he might have just thought it sounded good, but now, he could clearly hear the meaning conveyed in it, in the calm and soothing melody. Occasionally, a trace of unquiet waves will be stirred, like a girl's undulating state of mind, and after a period of end, under the careful count, you will find three such situations. And each time it fluctuates more strongly than the last.
Perhaps others can hear this "three" rule, but they will never guess the meaning, only he will know it when he hears it, because it is nothing else, it is Milena and his three encounters in Prague in one day!
From the corner of the street, to Prague Square, to the speakeasy, these three arranged encounters have brought together the fates of two otherwise unrelated characters, and these days, Milena has faithfully recorded her state of mind and used it to compose a beautiful light music that everyone hears now.
Milena chose to play this light piece of music instead of another classical piece on such a crucial occasion because she wanted someone to know and hear her mind clearly.
Jiang Li smiled bitterly, this guy is really too bold and reckless, but this is also Milena's distinctive personality, she is also educated by a good or even strict family education, Milena is completely different from Su Qianqian, because she can run away from home, she can deviate, she can be a maverick, and she can play such a tune on such an occasion without restraint, but Su Qianqian will definitely not be able to do it.
The soft music of the Enning Piano Contest was undoubtedly sensational news, and soon caused a huge uproar, with some harshly accusing Milena of tarnishing the sanctity of the Enning Piano Competition, while others gently pointed out that the princess of Genes was likely to stop here because of this wrong decision, and missed the top six.
The prince of Austria had already felt hopeless of victory because of Milena's extremely superb performance level, and at this moment he couldn't help but smile and smile, he naturally smiled at Milena's victory, and if he could further win the championship of this year's Enning Piano Competition, it could also be used as capital to marry his dear cousin who he had coveted for a long time in the future.
At the end of the song, Milena stood up, her bohemian dress swaying leisurely on the clean and bright stage, like clouds reflected on the lake, so light and beautiful, she looked in the direction of Jiang Li, showing a slight smile.
Jiang Li's eyes sank slightly, because he was very worried about the result of this game, if this zuihou light music was removed, Milena would definitely deserve to win, but this was not the case, and the situation became very unfavorable for Milena.
In the judging process, the judges' opinions were also very different, some judges firmly disagreed with Milena's victory, and even said that just because she dared to play this light music unscrupulously in the competition, it was enough to judge her loss or even disqualify from the competition, and some judges thought that it should be comprehensively considered, the extra points that should be added, the points that should be subtracted, and some had a positive attitude, thinking that it was harmless to perform light music here, and the most important thing is that this is an original song, and the quality is quite excellent as light music, in line with the concept of encouraging original music, it should be given some support。
At this time, a note was suddenly passed into Mu Yu's hand, Mu Yu was slightly stunned, and immediately opened it, only to see that it was written: "Teacher, Jiang Li has a reluctant request, please support Milena this time, please!"
Mu Yu glanced at Jiang Li's direction, suddenly smiled slightly, and changed his originally neutral attitude to strong support, because his status in the piano world is not trivial, and such a change in attitude immediately caused a commotion and repercussions.
However, the outcome remained elusive, and after a heated discussion, the jury began an intense voting process, with people holding their breath and waiting for the results to come out.
The judging lasted for a long time, ten minutes, and at last Chairman Thomas stood up, his tiredness in his brow, and he lifted his spirits a little, raised his voice, and solemnly announced, "The winner of this game is ......"
Jiang Li looked at Mu Yu, and Mu Yu also looked at him with feeling, and smiled slightly, which made him finally relieved and relieved.
"Milena!" President Thomas said with relief, although he himself was not satisfied with Milena's choice of an original light music in Zuihou, but after all, Milena was his proud student, he definitely supported Milena, and he also realized the hard-won and thrilling victory of this victory, because Milena's votes were only one vote higher than that of her opponent, and it can be said that Jiang Li's note played a decisive role in this.
The third contestant to advance to the semi-finals was born, Milena from Genes!
The prince of Austria clenched his fists unwillingly, but the jury had already decided, and he was helpless, if he knew the key role played by Jiang Li in this judgment, he would definitely be angry.
Milena fiddled with her slender white fingers, she had just clearly seen Jiang Li's small movements, and she couldn't help but feel a little happy in her heart, she didn't expect the other party to care about her, is this one of the gains of this adventure?
Regardless, the sixth round was halfway through the game, and the fourth game started very quickly, with Siam's Ba Song taking on the aces of the Yingji team.
Ba Song is also a dark horse in this year's Enning Piano Competition, but his results are much bleaker than Jiang Li, he neither showed particularly outstanding original songs, nor did he meet particularly strong opponents, after a fierce and thrilling competition, all the way up was particularly smooth, it seems that all the bad luck is going around him, just like having the blessing of the Buddha.
And this match proved his luck once again, his opponent Inggi's ace had already spelled out all the hole cards in the previous round, and at this time, Ba Song pulled out his first and only original piece of music at this year's Enning Piano Competition, which was a classical music with a Buddhist flavor, and easily won.
Jiang Li narrowed his eyes slightly, this Ba Song, it was really strange! At first, he thought that the other party's ability was just the kind of Buddhist temperament that could purify the mind and affect people's decisions, but now that he thinks about it, luck is also an ability, maybe the two abilities can be classified as one, and it is related to the Buddha.
In the fifth game of the sixth round, the much-anticipated cannibalism of the German-Italian team kicked off.
The first to play was the second-ranked contestant of the German-Italian team, in fact, before Dauphin parachuted into the team, he was the trump card of the German-Italian team, but now, he was only assigned a mission by Felix and lost to Dauphin......!
