Chapter 191: Lenovo
Mo Xi's hands rose and fell on the keys, bringing up a large number of warm and cheerful piano sounds. Her hands spanned and waved sharply on the keys, not at all as delicate and agile as at the beginning, but became wanton and flamboyant!
This is the last theme of Liszt Paganini's Great Etude - Bells, a piece of music with a distinctly dance style. Although the difficulty is not the biggest part of the piece, it is the most passionate part of the style, and it is really not easy for a female pianist to express it perfectly.
But at this moment, Mo Xi played this music freely and cheerfully, and while it was enthusiastic, it didn't mess up the rules, and everyone was addicted to it!
"Okay, good play!" Uncle Shi praised the festival, being able to play "Zhong" to this extent, this girl's level is even more powerful than those graduate students under him.
Chang Hua and Du Mingyin, who were beside him, were also surprised, as if they couldn't believe that in such a level of competition, there would be such a female player who "defended the sky". The two of them knew in their hearts that with the "Bell" she had just played, even in the piano department of the entire Central Conservatory of Music, it could be regarded as a top level! Even the two of them, asking themselves, definitely couldn't play this song so smoothly!
The technique used by the other party is even more open-minded and uninhibited, with a strong European and American pianist color, this very romantic performance style is relatively rare among pianists in China. Piano education in China is generally more influenced by orthodox academics, especially the Russian academy, many people regard Horowitz as a classic, and some extreme ones even do not listen to Horowitz. The two of them can almost determine that the player in front of them must have studied abroad, and he must have gone to Europe and the United States, and it will definitely not be Russia!
In fact, Shi Shucheng also had such a judgment in his heart, and even vaguely guessed the other party's general school. You know, to his extent, he basically has a relatively clear understanding of the performance styles of world-renowned pianists, and he can guess a rough idea just by looking at it a few times.
A succession of accented chords burst out of the Yamaha piano with a fervent heat like a torrent. Mo Xi's body also rose and fell sharply, and it could be seen that he had used all his strength. It's only possible that the tone of the Yamaha piano is on the soft side, and even if it bursts out of FFF-level dynamics, it sounds a little fluttery.
"It's a pity that there is such a good performance, but there is no good piano!" Shi Shucheng sighed secretly in his heart, and seeing that the other party had finished playing, he took the lead in applauding.
The applause from the audience was even more enthusiastic. Mo Xi's performance just now, the technique is really gorgeous, just looking at the dazzling hands flying on the keys, it is enough to make people jaw-dropping, not to mention the magical sound of the piano. It was definitely a great performance!
Unsurprisingly, after Shi Shucheng finished applauding, he took the microphone and nodded at Mo Xi with a smile.
"You played very well, and I asked, which conservatory are you from?" Shi Shucheng went straight to the point, although he had vaguely guessed the answer in his heart, he still wanted to confirm it again.
"Hello Mr. Shi, I am now in my fourth year at the Curtis Institute of Music in the United States, and I am about to graduate." Mo Xi nodded politely at Shi Shucheng, although there was still no smile on his face, his attitude was very modest.
"Well, in fact, I just saw that your playing style has a strong romantic approach and is very passionate. If I'm not mistaken, your teacher is the director of the Curtis Institute of Music, Graffman. Shi Shucheng asked with a smile.
Listening to Shi Shucheng's words, Mo Xi looked stunned, as if he didn't expect the other party to be able to guess his teacher. However, when I thought that this was also a well-known pianist in the international piano world, I was relieved and had a slight smile on my face.
"Yes, Mr. Shi, my teacher is none other than Dean Graffman." Mo Xi replied honestly.
"It's a student of Graffman!" Several judges had heard of this legendary pianist, and their faces couldn't help but be a little moved. Thinking of Mo Xi's outstanding performance just now, it was only then that his heart became clear. I think only a legendary pianist like Graffman can teach such a good student.
Graffman is known as the "left-handed pianist", his right hand was seriously injured due to an accident when he was young, and he could not play normally, but this did not prevent him from making greater achievements on the piano, but made him more famous. Of course, compared to his performance fame, he is even more famous for being good at "knowing people", and many famous pianists are from him, including Lang Lang, who is known as a "national treasure".
Among the audience, there were also many people who knew about Graffman, and they all looked excited and bowed their heads and began to discuss. Those who don't know who Graffman is, they also asked the people next to them, and after listening to Graffman's legendary deeds, they were amazed one by one, and then looked at the Mo Xi on the stage, and they all became more serious, especially those piano students, their eyes showed envy, and there was also a strong **, wanting to learn piano with the legendary "left-handed pianist".
"It's crazy, is this a quasi-professional competition, or a really advanced professional piano competition?" Jiang Ya smiled and shook her head, thinking that Yu Fan was about to appear, the look in her eyes became eager again.
"Yu Fan, come on, don't lose to this Mo Xi." Jiang Ya secretly clenched her fists and said secretly in her heart.
In Dazhai Village, which is more than 100 miles away, Yu Fan's family, Wang Xiaoyong, Xue Dongzhe, and a few people also have nervous looks, and the person named Mo Xi just now is too powerful, and they can't help but worry a little about Yu Fan.
"This girl is too powerful, the judge just said that she went to school in the United States?" Xue Dongzhe said in surprise.
"Hmph, no matter how powerful it is, it's not as powerful as my brother, my brother is the most powerful!" Listening to Xue Dongzhe's words, Liu Xiaoran said a little unhappily.
"Hehe, that's, Yufan is even more powerful! Don't say it, look, it's going to be his turn soon. Xue Dongzhe said with a smile.
At the competition site, Shi Shucheng's questioning of Mo Xi was not over, and he was obviously very interested in her.
"Mo Xi, what big competitions have you participated in?" Shi Shucheng asked with a smile. Based on her performance just now, Shi Shucheng concluded that she must have participated in international competitions, and people who have participated in that kind of competition naturally have a kind of momentum on their bodies, as long as they are performing, they will unconsciously show it, Shi Shucheng has seen a lot, and naturally he will not be mistaken.
"Last year, I participated in the Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition and won the second prize." Mo Xi replied honestly.
"Oh, the Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition, one of the top international piano competitions, and it is really remarkable that you can win the second prize in this competition. I'm curious, how did you come up with the idea of coming to the Jianghai Cup? Shi Shucheng asked with some curiosity.
He didn't say directly, "How did you come to participate in such an unpopular piano competition?" "Because the organizers of the bad family are still there, they are also serving themselves with delicious food and drink these days, no matter what, they can't eat other people's food, and they also expose other people's shortcomings.
"Because I happened to come to Jianghai for some things, I caught up with this competition, so I wanted to come and participate." Mo Xi explained with a smile, and there was no meaning to look down on this game in his eyes. Judging from her performance just now, she is indeed serious, and this "Bell" does not represent her highest level, but it is already about the same.
"I just happened to come to Jianghai for some things~~" Hearing Mo Xi's words, Liu Yufan's heart moved, and the guess in his heart became clearer.
"There is something to do in Jianghai, Mo Xi, Mo ~~ This girl, it shouldn't have anything to do with Teacher Mo Yan." Liu Yufan thought in surprise.
For a long time, Mo Yan has never talked about his family with Liu Yufan, even if Liu Yufan sometimes asks occasionally, he is still tight-lipped and unwilling to talk more, and even when Yufan asks too much, he will be angry. Over time, Liu Yufan stopped asking.
But today, on this occasion, after seeing Mo Xi, Liu Yufan once again came to this thought. He finally understood why when he first saw Mo Xi, he had a strange and familiar feeling, looking closely, between Mo Xi's eyebrows and eyes, there were really a few copies of Mo Yan's appearance!
Thinking of this, Liu Yufan couldn't help but feel a little excited. For a long time, Mo Yan refused to talk about his family, but Liu Yufan knew that in fact, he still cared a lot, but it seemed that the memory was very painful, and he didn't want to remember more.
If, if this Mo Xi is really his daughter, then this Mo Xi came to Jianghai, isn't Mo looking for her father? How nice would it be if their father and daughter could meet? Liu Yufan was already a little excited about the scene of their father and daughter recognizing each other.
It's just that he can't think about it too much, Shi Shucheng has already finished asking Mo Xi's question, seeing Mo Xi walking off the stage, the host Jiajia reported his name again, Liu Yufan hurriedly put aside all the distracting thoughts in his mind just now, and quickly adjusted his game state.
When he passed by Mo Xi, Liu Yufan glanced at her carefully, the other party looked at him for a while, and nodded politely at him, but he didn't say anything.
When passing by Jiajia's side, Jiajia chose an angle that the audience couldn't see, quietly smiled at Liu Yufan, and whispered: "Yufan, come on!" ”
Because of the relationship between the wedding company, the two of them are now old acquaintances, Liu Yufan nodded and smiled at him, and then walked straight to the piano in the center of the stage.
