Improvisation and traditional piano playing are two very different concepts. Traditional performance requires only step-by-step playing, playing the music on the score, but improvisation requires the performer's own play. It is not a simple task to compose a simple musical motive into a relatively complete piece in a very short time.

Fortunately, when Gu Wei was studying in the Chinese Academy, he also took a special improvisation class, and such a topic was not too difficult for him.

After modestly changing the motive with several common techniques such as double notes, left-hand melodies, and triplet variations, Gu Wei ended the improvisational part.

The applause from the audience was not too enthusiastic, and it was obvious that his performance just now was much worse than the previous prelude. Gu Wei is bent on stability, and did not show too many skills in the process of improvising variations, you know, the more difficult the variation, the greater the chance of mistakes, and he has done a lot of training before, so he has experience in this area.

"Gu Wei, you are from the piano department of the Chinese Academy, right?" Seeing that Gu Wei had finished the game, Shi Shucheng began to comment. In the three-day competition, Gu Wei also left an impression on him, after all, he was also a student of a key university.

"Yes, Mr. Shi." Facing Shi Shucheng, Gu Wei was very respectful, although he was not a teacher in his own school, but the other party's qualifications were too high, it can be said that piano students all over China had to shout "teacher" when they saw him.

"Well, the song you chose today is a bit beyond your ability, but it's roughly played. Shostakovich's prelude is very emotional, and you have to pay special attention to the touch of the fingers when playing it, and you need to strengthen it in this regard. The improvisational part was ok, ok. After Shi Shucheng briefly commented, he stopped talking.

In fact, if Gu Wei hadn't been a student of the Chinese Academy, I'm afraid he wouldn't have made this comment at all. Because Gu Wei's performance is really ordinary in his eyes. But after all, the Chinese Academy and the Chinese Academy are both in the same city, and several old people in the Chinese Academy have a good relationship with him.

Gu Wei's score is good, 96.80 points, which can be regarded as an upper-average score.

Next came a girl named Meng Yi, who played a ballade by Chopin, which was also very standardized, but there were no highlights. After arriving at the impromptu link, it was obviously a little reluctant, obviously I hadn't done any practice in this area, and it was much worse than Gu Wei's performance just now. Some of them are like things played by students who have just learned piano. So much so that at the end of the performance, the applause of the audience below was sparse, and some people even laughed.

Of course, with such a performance, the score will naturally not be too high, and the score of 93.50 points is almost destined not to be associated with the reward.

Next, Su Anran, the No. 3 contestant, was invited to play, and her repertoire was Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 23, Op. 57, "Passion". Please! With Jiajia's introduction, Su Anran, who was wearing a red dress, walked onto the stage.

There was a burst of warm applause from the audience, for this beautiful girl who surprised the audience with a song "Sigh" in the preliminaries, people were very impressed, of course, the deeper impression also came from the exaggerated "cheering", fortunately, today's "coaxing" guys did not make a sound.

Seeing that the movement in the audience was normal, Su Anran breathed a sigh of relief, the best father finally listened to his words, and did not get that group of messy guys to "cheer" for himself, his father is good at everything, but he doesn't know anything about art, and when he heard that his daughter was going to participate in the competition, he got a bunch of people to cheer for him, and almost made a joke.

"It's actually the "Passion" sonata? The alto beauty looks like she's going to get the real thing. Liu Yufan, who was standing in the audience, nodded and smiled when he heard the repertoire reported by Jiajia.

The Passion Sonata is one of the greatest achievements of Beethoven's genius, one of the greatest works that is famous all over the world and often performed in concerts, and its subjective emotions and Beethoven personality are so intense. This magnificent, majestic magnum opus is an eclectic mix of highly distributed enthusiasm, very enthusiastic and tense content, sending out Beethoven's deep and enthusiastic shouts, reflecting Beethoven's feelings and understanding of the times, and for hundreds of years, this work has been sincerely loved by people all over the world.

Of course, this world-famous sonata is also extremely difficult to perform, not only in terms of technique, but also in the handling of details and the grasp of feelings. For those who have not studied Beethoven's works in depth, it is easy to play this piece smoothly, but it is difficult to play it well.

"Knock~~" Su Anran's hands sank into the keys, and a low chord sounded, and then a small phrase composed of three notes began to play the unique mood of the minor key.

After listening to the beginning, Liu Yufan nodded, this alto master is still a little expected. The beginning of this "Passion" is not impatient or impatient, and it is very lawful.

But as he continued to listen, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

"Perhaps, Beethoven's works are really not suitable for girls, and it is really too difficult for them to understand the artistic conception in that kind of music." A few chords did not achieve the effect that Liu Yufan wanted, and for him, who has a deep understanding of this piece, he can't help but feel a little anxious and uncomfortable to listen to.

He is not the only one who feels this way, but also Shi Shucheng.

Indeed, although Shi Shucheng's understanding of Beethoven is not a master, it is also extremely profound. This "Passion" sonata, as a masterpiece in Beethoven's sonata, Shi Shucheng has put a lot of effort into it. Because of this, although Su Anran's performance didn't sound like a big problem, to him, it didn't sound like that at all.

Beethoven's stuff, sometimes a chord is a little bit worse in dynamics, that's a difference of 108,000 miles, it's not like that at all.

There are three movements in the "Passion" sonata, and Su Anran played the first movement, about 8 minutes, just within the time limit specified in the competition, if it is too long, the time for the competition will not be enough. You know, the whole song is nearly 25 minutes long.

In the warm applause of the audience, Su Anran stood up and, under the guidance of Jiajia, chose an impromptu question.

The number she chose was 15, which was exactly the number in the center. The music plays a melody with a Chinese style, with four sentences of beginning and turn, which is very easy to remember.

This kind of variation is relatively not difficult, and Su Anran is quite lucky.

However, it seems that these students from academic classes are not too strong in improvisation. Even with such a simple melody, Su Anran didn't dare to play too much, but just followed the method introduced by the teacher in the class and performed three variations, including the main melody of the left hand once.

Looking at Su Anran's performance, Liu Yufan felt a little pity. This theme is so simple that if it were him, he could have made at least a few wonderful variations.

"Hey, it's a pity that it's such a good question, and I don't know what kind of question I will draw when it's my turn." Liu Yufan thought with emotion.

"Su Anran, you are a third-grade alto student, right, today's performance is okay, "Passion Sonata" is a very famous song, you can express it relatively completely, it should be said that it is still good. However, in some places, there are still some vague and unclear measures, which I think your teacher should have talked to you about in normal times, and you should pay attention to it in the future. The variations are okay, basically in line with the requirements...... "This time, Shi Shucheng talked more, more of a technical guidance. Seeing Shi Shucheng comment on Su Anran in such detail, the other players showed envious looks on their faces. But envy can't be envied, you must know that the person in front of you, but the student of alto, is the most "close" when it comes to the relationship between him and judge Shi Shucheng.

Su Anran's score is also quite good, with a score of 98.00 so far.

When Su Anran got off the field, he smiled slightly when he saw Liu Yufan, and seemed to be very impressed by him.

Seeing Su Anran smiling at himself, Liu Yufan was stunned, and then reflexively smiled at her.

"I heard that Mr. Shi is going to introduce you to the attached middle school? Oh, that's amazing. Su Anran squinted his eyes and laughed softly.

"Huh? How do you know? Liu Yufan asked with some surprise. He didn't say anything about it.

"Hehe, I won't tell you, by the way, if you really get to the attached middle school, you have to call me senior sister." Su Anran put his hands behind his back and said with a smile.

"Hehe, this, it's not a matter yet." Looking at the obviously naked envious eyes of the players next to him, Liu Yufan said a little uncontrollably. This Su Anran, who looks a few years older than himself, how can he look like a child?

was embarrassed, Liu Yufan's eyes lit up, and he found a figure in a black dress, but it was Mo Xi who came.

"Mo Xi, you're here!" Yu Fan said with some eagerness.

"Are you ~~ in trouble?" Suddenly seeing a boy talking to himself so enthusiastically, Mo Xi asked a little strangely.

"Well, too~~ it's nothing." Liu Yufan just wanted to talk about Teacher Mo Yan, but found that he couldn't talk about it at all.

Liu Yufan's performance made Mo Xi feel very strange, but it made Su Anran on the side very dissatisfied, and secretly looked at Mo Xi, Su Anran felt that he was not better than himself, is his attraction so bad?

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, Liu Yufan found a quieter place and waited alone.

"Next, let's invite No. 6 player Liu Yufan to appear!" As Jiajia's voice sounded, Liu Yufan quickly adjusted his mood and walked to the stage.
