"Next, let's have the pianist Valodos from Russia!" With Mi Xue's introduction, a tsunami of applause rang out from the audience. At the same time, Valodos, a somewhat chubby man in a tuxedo, walked onto the stage with a vigorous stride.

When passing by Liu Yufan's side, Valodos glanced at him as if unintentionally. Although he didn't speak, Liu Yufan read a strong battle intent in his eyes.

That's right, the will to fight.

In the preliminaries, Valodos noticed the player from China. If nothing else, the "Bell" played for him is really amazing. As a pianist who grew up in St. Petersburg, Valodos can be said to have known the Russian piano style from an early age, especially for the Russian icon, the myth of the contemporary piano world, Kissin. In his opinion, the young man's style of playing the piano is very similar to Kissin, delicate, gorgeous, rigorous melody, and enthusiasm without losing reason. This was what he had tried to achieve, but no matter what, it was always a little bit off. He thought that no one in the world could interpret this style of performance so vividly except Kissin, but he did not expect to see it in a Chinese person in this competition. Although it has not yet become a big thing, it faintly makes him feel threatened.

Liu Yufan looked at Valodos who walked past him, and naturally noticed his gaze. As a top-level performer, Liu Yufan can read the meaning of his eyes. Looking at his back, Liu Yufan secretly clenched his fists.

"Don't worry. Valodos, I won't let you down, I'll give it my all. I won't leave myself with any regrets, and I hope you scoop out the things at the bottom of the box, so let's have a real fight! Liu Yufan said secretly in his heart.

Not far from them. Teng Mura Shunichi looked at them coldly, with a hint of disdain on the corner of his mouth.

"Silly comparison, the result is a doomed game, and you have to fight to the death there, it's ridiculous!" Looking at Liu Yufan's attentive look, Teng Cun Junyi secretly laughed in his heart.

After a round of applause, Valodos sat down at the piano.

After a little preparation, he lifted his fleshy "bear paws". Falling towards the white and delicate keys.

Valodos' "tonnage" gives his playing a particularly impactful feel. Watching those hands flip around on the keys gives people a very interesting feeling. At the same time, his performance also gives people a sense of power, a particularly down-to-earth feeling. It's like a powerful engine, and when he starts playing, people even have the illusion that he will continue to play like this forever without getting tired.

In the finals, the songs chosen by the contestants are generally the most difficult level 1. Valodos is no exception, and the shot is the "Great Hunt". This super etude is the most numerous appearances in the Liszt Cup, and like "The Bell", it belongs to the "star repertoire". There are good and bad ways to play such tunes. The advantage is that it is difficult and gives a good impression to the judges. It's easy to scoop high scores when you play well; The bad thing is that this piece is so famous, not only the judges, but also the audience are familiar with it, and if you don't play it well, the mistake will be heard by others. Even if a note is good, people will find fault with such and such things, such as rhythm pulling, layering, etc. For such a piece, everyone is familiar even down to the details of each specific phrase. It's not easy to play it well.

Although I have played it many times, everyone plays it in a completely different style. It's like Teng Village Shunichi playing this piece just now, giving people an aggressive feeling, and the whole piece is rich in sound from beginning to end, which is very lively. When Valodos plays, he is very careful with the pedal, and every chord he plays is crisp, full of a sense of atmosphere and power. Looking at his fleshy hands, under the explosion of the strength of his whole body, he brought a huge roar of Stanway, and the audience had a feeling of blood boiling! …,

After one song, Valodos sang another "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 6", the same classic. The performance was perfect in one go. Even among the 10 players, this kind of performance can definitely be regarded as a first-class level.

In the last link, Valodos drew a free adaptation. I don't know if this good luck is really God helping him or if there is some other reason. In short, when Valodos played his adaptation of the Turkish March, the audience fell into a state of madness!

Gorgeous showmanship, full of sensual melodies, ten fingers magically flying on the keys, notes like flames...... This "Turkish March" completely overturned people's understanding of Mozart's work. Many of the audience present heard this version of "Turkish March" for the first time, and many people covered their mouths in surprise on the spot!

And the five judges were no exception, listening to this song, these people were shocked. They have heard very few piano pieces, but it is rare to adapt the work of a famous composer in such a way and play a completely different style!

Valodos, who played this piece, seemed to have really found his state. The chubby little round face no longer had a kind smile, but was full of concentration and fanaticism. The same "thick" arms are like two powerful machines, running over the keys and bringing a stormy melody!

This adaptation of the "Turkish March" is truly breathtaking!

Even many players in the arena, watching Valodos's performance, couldn't help but admire his strength. This tune, if they play it, may be able to play it, but don't forget that this tune is adapted by others. This kind of creative labor is not something that everyone can do. In this sense, Valodos is a cut above them!

After the surprise, several judges secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. Valodos is so powerful, but they don't have to make it difficult. You know, the audience at the scene is watching. Scoring on the spot, if this kid performs too badly, then they are not good at bias, and they push him to the throne of the champion. Now it's easy to do, this kid is so competitive himself, even if they score a relatively high score, everyone probably won't say anything.

At the end of the song, Valodos simply raised his arms and got up from the front of the piano in a dashing manner, and the audience applauded at this moment!

The judges looked at each other and already had a plan in their hearts.

"99.10 points!" When this absolutely high score came out of the host's mouth, the audience immediately resounded with a burst of exclamation. With this score, it is almost doomed to be the champion of Valodos! However, thinking of his previous wonderful performance, everyone didn't say anything, but many people took it for granted on their faces.

"It was a good game, wasn't it?" In the corner of the auditorium, Ms. Leon looked at the stage and whispered with a smile.

"That's right, ma'am, Valodos did a great job today." James echoed with a smile. It's just that such a smile appeared on his cold face, which looked somewhat disobedient.

When Valodos stepped off the stage, he had a powerful aura on his body. This kind of formation makes those players who are ready to play feel a little affected. With this 99.10 point in front of them, those players have almost lost the courage to win the championship. This achievement is almost unsurpassable.

There are only three players left, and Lang Lang, who came on the field next, also looked a little dazed, obviously Valodos's performance just now affected him, and now he doesn't seem to be in very good shape. …,

This is also due to his lack of experience in participating in major tournaments. If you were an experienced player, you wouldn't be able to listen to someone else's performance, but find a headphone in the corner and listen to music to relax.

Lang Lang came to the stage, and naturally there was another round of applause. For this player from China, who plays very dramatically, everyone is still very impressed, especially many music fans, who have deeply liked his playing style, as soon as Lang Lang took the stage, many people began to shout his name loudly, and the atmosphere was very warm.

It's just that this enthusiasm doesn't seem to make his mood any better, and although he didn't make any obvious mistakes during the performance, he obviously didn't have any particularly wonderful performances, and even worse than his performance in the rematch. Although at the end of the day, he also scooped a score of 98.10 points, which is not bad, but by his own standards, he was a hit in this competition.

When he walked off the stage, Lang Lang looked a little depressed.

Liu Yufan walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him a few words.

"Hehe, Yufan, I'm fine, it's up to you next. Our players from China, now you are the only one left, play hard, and try to compare with that Russian! "Lang Lang is still relatively able to face reality, for a person who is participating in international competitions for the first time, he has done well enough to get to this point.

"Hehe, I'll do my best." Liu Yufan said with a smile. Looking at the other Polish player who had already stepped onto the stage, his eyes were calm.

That's right, his luck was "very good", and in the final, he was drawn in last place, the finale.

Valodos's powerful aura didn't seem to affect him, Liu Yufan at this moment, there was a calm in his eyes, and the pressure of the game didn't seem to have anything to do with him.

"Next, let's invite the last contestant of this competition, Liu Yufan from China, please!" Accompanied by the host's voice and the applause of the audience, Liu Yufan smiled and walked to the spotlight! (To be continued.)
