Li Songwen took advantage of the enthusiasm that had not yet quit, and said to Mo Mo in a consultative tone: "Xiaomo, the general piano competition is of little use to you, if you want to participate, you will participate in the most powerful one."

Like the world's top ten piano competitions, the best is the Chopin International Piano Competition, which is the world's highest piano award, if you win this first place, it doesn't matter if you participate in other international competitions. ”

The Chopin International Piano Competition is one of the most famous, rigorous and highest-level piano competitions in the world, held every five years in Warsaw, the capital of Poland, for more than 70 years.

It not only records the youthful elegance of modern pianists, but also testifies to the immortal legend of the history of piano performance in the 20th century.

Mo Mo has been no stranger to this competition since he learned the piano, but the qualification requirements are very strict, and he asked, "Teacher, am I so young that I am qualified to participate?"

"The general rule is that players are between the ages of 18 and 29, but sometimes there are appropriate changes, and in the end it depends on merit.

Your situation is quite special, the music industry does not distinguish between countries, and I will report your situation to the competition organization when the time comes. If you are not allowed to participate, it will only be a loss for them and a pity for the world piano community. Li Songwen smiled faintly and asked him to participate in those youth competitions, which was child abuse at his level.

Li Songwen said: "Anything else, I don't have any requirements for you, I hope you can participate in this competition, once every five years, if you miss it and want to participate again, you have to wait until you are seventeen or eighteen years old." The other piano competitions, although not less famous, were much worse than Chopin's, and the time was not improvised. ”

"As long as you get the award, if you win the first place in a certain category, you will be recognized by the pianists around the world, otherwise, no matter how good you play, you have not won the world competition award, it is too difficult to perform in a palace-level concert hall, and you will not be recognized by the public, and people who don't understand the piano will only say that we brag, and it will not have a good impact on your reputation. ”

Mo Mo nodded and understood, the rules are like this, you said that you can run 9 seconds 7 in 100 meters, even if there is a video, but most people think it is fake, or taking doping, or using special means. If you can win the championship in the big competition, you can't question it.

Lu Lei also sat on Mo Mo's side and listened, and said expectantly: "Yes, Xiaomo, that Li Di, was in 2000 when he participated in the Chopin International Piano Competition and won the championship, and became famous all over the world in one fell swoop.

If you win the championship, and you are young, it will attract more attention and the whole world will be shocked. ”

Mo Mo is no stranger to several pianists in China, when it comes to domestic pianists, many people only remember that it is Langlang, and those who know the piano know that there is a Li Di.

Li Di became the first Chinese to win the Chopin International Piano Competition award, only one year later than Langlang.

Langlang's performance is passionate, almost crazy;

And Li Di is very introverted and feminine, perhaps this kind of personality makes his reputation worse than Langlang.

Li Songwen thought about it for a while, and felt that it was too difficult to sign up for the competition with Mo Mo's current situation, so he still suggested: "The final of the Chopin International Piano Competition will be in December next year, and I will register in May. I suggest that you get a high-value international competition result before May next year, or it will not be easy to pass the review. ”

After Li Songwen finished speaking, he patted his head and pondered: "Let me think about it!"

"Professor Li, how is the Geneva International Music Competition?" reminded Lu Lei.

"That competition is also the top ten international piano competitions, but it was registered before May 2 this year, and Xiaomo has already missed it. Li Songwen is more clear about international competitions, there are no less than 30 international piano competitions every year, and he can remember most of them.

"There will be an international piano competition in Hahn in April next year, and some time ago, Qin Yi won the championship and the best audience award in this year's competition, and after the competition, Naxos, one of the world's largest record companies, signed a record publishing and distribution contract with her. ”

"The gold medal of that competition is more than 20,000 euros, which is a rare huge amount of money in international piano competitions, although the money is very small for you, but the prize money can also reflect the gold content of the competition, unlike those youth competitions, which are at most a few hundred euros. Of course, this competition is also highly competitive, with three rounds of competitions regardless of age group. ”

"If you win the prize, it will be the end of April 2010, and it will be much easier to apply for the Chopin International Piano Competition.

If you are not at ease, you can also participate in more international competitions, dozens of competitions a year, there is always something for you. Li Songwen said with a smile, he still wished that students would participate in more international competitions, but he seemed to be very reluctant, just think about it.

At last month's National Piano Competition, Lu Lei said that he hated the competition and strongly asked him to participate. Now that I think about it, this little guy is not short of money, and he is also tired of participating in competitions.

Mo Mo asked the system to help him analyze the West BAN Yahan International Piano Competition, although it is not one of the top ten piano competitions, but because of the huge prize money, the attention is very high.

If the Chopin International Piano Competition is similar to the World Cup or the Champions League in football, then the Jaén International Piano Competition is the equivalent of the UEFA Europa League in football, and the Youth International Piano Competition is the equivalent of a domestic football league.

Mo Mo really doesn't like to participate in too many competitions, playing the piano was originally to earn prestige, and the other is just to have fun. It's just that Shizun's words make him feel the heavy responsibility of learning piano, and he has come to this point, if he doesn't fulfill Shizun's wishes, not only Shizun, but also many people will be disappointed.

"Teacher, I'll just participate in the competition in Hahn. Mo Mo was silent for a moment and replied. If you can't do it again, if you have time, just participate in a few more competitions.

"Well, this kind of competition, in the semi-finals and finals, you have to play a concerto with the piano and the orchestra, and you don't have any experience with the orchestra, so come over when you have time, and I'll tell you about it. Li Songwen saw that he was hesitant, and he was really afraid that he would not agree, then he really couldn't do it, and the twisted melon was not sweet.

Now that the student agreed, he was also relieved and happy.

He added, "The registration deadline is March next year, and there is still nearly a year to go, so there is no need to rush, you just need to practice the repertoire you plan to participate in." ”

Teachers and students decide to participate in the competition, and then talk about other things.

Mo Mo told the teacher that he was going to Myanmar in June, and he might be busy at other times, and he might not have much time in Pingzhou.

Li Songwen nodded and understood, he, a student, couldn't be treated with common sense.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the apprenticeship ceremony ended successfully, and Mo Mo's party also returned to Pingzhou, and Mo Mo stayed in Yangcheng.

Mo Mo's parents only stayed in Pingzhou for a few days before they were gone, and they inexplicably took Lu Lei and Mo Wanqing back to Gui Province.

Before Mo Yao left Yangcheng, he helped him apply for an ICBC international bank card, namely the Peony International Card, according to his son's request, and the bank directly handled the MC Gold Card according to his deposit and credit.

Before Lu Lei went home, she agreed to Mo Mo's invitation to apply, and the official working time was set for July. She is responsible for all the preparation materials for Mo Mo's competition.

In the next few days, Mo Mo ate and lived in Li Songwen's family, mainly listening to Li Songwen talk about the symphony orchestra and teaching him how to cooperate with the conductor.

In addition, about the media, the teacher asked him not to worry too much, since he is a pianist, he always has to face the media, let him treat it calmly, and some celebrities try their best to hype themselves.

Li Songwen is not worried that Mo Mo will be complacent, unstoppable, and obsessed with fame.

Mo Mo didn't even want to participate in the competition, he made hundreds of millions of dollars and didn't want people to know, and he was afraid of media exposure, so he was obviously indifferent to fame and fortune, which made Li Songwen have to admire.

Perhaps, he thinks that Mo Mo is a child, and he is ignorant of these fame and fortune.
