Chapter 185: Ahn Kwon Tao Show "Ghost Fire"
Zhang Yue's hands were raised high, bringing up bursts of transparent and loud piano sounds, which was the prelude to the extremely rich surname of "Crazy Er"!
I have to say that the song "Crazy Er" is still very impactful. Especially in the Allegro at the back, you can see the show of skill everywhere, whether it is the fast running of the right hand, or the rapid up and down of the hands alternately, it is full of viewing points.
The reaction of the audience in the audience was also very "powerful", and they were all very focused, obviously shocked by the "professional" performance of this big boy-like player. So far in the game, Zhang Yue's level of performance is the highest in the game.
Even a few judges put away their casual expressions and became serious. Especially Shi Shucheng's two students, Chang Hua and Du Mingyin, the two of them looked very seriously. From their point of view, they can see the player's hands very well, and at this moment, the eyes of the two people are almost inseparable from those hands. The expressions on their faces changed from time to time, sometimes nodding slightly, sometimes shaking their heads slightly. As for Shi Shucheng, he was very calm from beginning to end.
This piece is relatively long, and it took almost ten minutes to finish, which is also close to the upper limit of the time limit for the youth group.
When Zhang Yue finished playing the last main chord and ended the performance simply, the audience applauded, and even two judges applauded.
"Teacher Shi, this player named Zhang Yue can be regarded as the most professional one so far." Chang Hua, who was on Shi Shucheng's left, turned sideways and whispered.
"Yes, it's just that the level of the song is a little bit poor, but it's not a big problem. This contestant should come out of a professional conservatory. Du Mingyin on the other side echoed and said.
"Well, it's okay to play, but the processing of some details is still relatively rough, and the pedal in the Allegro is too messy......" Shi Shucheng said a few words this time, which can be regarded as some guidance for his students.
Sure enough, after listening to his explanation, the two of them kept nodding their heads with thoughtful expressions.
Wang He sat on Chang Hua's left side, and with his position, he could naturally hear the conversation of several people. Although he is Jiang Hai's piano "authority", only he knows how much gold his "authority" has. In front of the three masters and apprentices, his level is not even worthy of lifting shoes for others, and being able to sit with them as judges is completely stained with the light of "local snakes".
Take the player named Zhang Yue just now, seeing his performance, Wang He felt ashamed. A tune like "Crazy Er", he can't play it at all. At this moment, he saw that people popped up, and they were so professional, let alone "commenting" others, he couldn't even see where the good was going. But the three next to him looked accustomed to it, and picked out a lot of faults in the chat......
But fortunately, he is only a judge, and he doesn't need to go on stage to perform, so not many people know about his "old bottom". At this moment, seeing the host Jiajia walking on the stage, and naming him to comment on the contestants, he also cleared his throat and said "seriously".
"The young man's name is Zhang Yue, it's very good, it's very good, Liszt's works have always been known as the crown jewel of piano art, every one is difficult, especially this crazy two, it is a very representative one in the "Hungarian Rhapsody" series, the technical surname and the artistic surname are very high, you can interpret it more fluently, you can see that it has put a lot of effort. It's just that in some details of the song, I still need to put some fine effort, such as the contrast of levels, the use of pedals......" Wang He said a lot, but it was generally very general, and did not involve specific details, and most of the suggestions were just temporarily "eavesdropped". But this didn't have much impact, this comment sounded seamless, and even Shi Shucheng didn't hear anything.
The competition continued, and the performance of the next few contestants was good and bad, but on the whole, compared with the morning youth group, it seemed much more professional and exciting, and there was even a person who played the fourth movement of the well-known Chinese piano song "Yellow River" - "Defending the Yellow River", which set off a small ** for the atmosphere of the scene.
Offstage, An Quantao, who was next to Liu Yufan, had already gone backstage to prepare, and he and Peng Tielin sat on the side, chatting a few words from time to time, looking very relaxed. He didn't have a game today, he was just here to watch.
Although he was just chatting softly with Liu Yufan, Peng Tielin already felt that he had gained a lot. After each contestant finishes his competition, Liu Yufan will generally say a few words softly, not much, but most of them hit the nail on the head, and some of the things related to performance skills are even more unique. Peng Tielin sounded like he was always bright. At this moment, after close contact with him, Peng Tielin felt how profound this child's attainments in the piano were. If it weren't for his young age, Peng Tielin felt that he could go directly to the piano department of alto.
The girl in black in front of her sat quietly watching the game and didn't speak. But Liu Yufan's comment behind her was loud in her ears, and she couldn't help nodding her head when she heard it. As the saying goes, "as soon as the connoisseur reaches out, he knows if there is", she has been studying abroad for so many years, rarely comes back to China, and does not know what kind of level of piano education in China, at the beginning of the competition on the stage, she was a little disappointed in her heart, but the voice behind her always gave her a sense of meeting a "bosom friend". Although she had not heard him play the piano with her own ears, the girl concluded that the man who spoke must be a master.
"Teacher Peng, the next thing is Quan Tao, hehe, it is estimated that those judges will definitely be eye-catching. So far, none of the players who have played have shown a level that is his opponent. Liu Yufan said with a smile.
"Hehe, you can't hold it up, the Jianghai Cup is also a quasi-professional level competition, and there will definitely be some masters." Peng Tielin said more solemnly.
"Teacher Yin Chengzong is a well-known pianist in the world, although Quan Tao has not studied with him for a long time, but the foundation is very solid, Mr. Peng, you look at it, you must not be wrong." Liu Yufan said confidently.
"Hehe, if you say you can't be wrong, then you must be wrong." Peng Tielin said with a smile. The level of two people, he has the bottom in his heart. The sentence just now is just a modest mouth, he is confident that even if these two people can't get the first place, they can definitely get a good result.
It's just that, hearing the conversation between the two people, the girl in the front row suddenly looked back at them, and there was a slight difference in her eyes.
At that moment, Liu Yufan and her eyes met, both of them were slightly stunned, the girl seemed to feel a little embarrassed, and turned her head again, while Liu Yufan felt that familiar feeling hit again.
"Yin Chengzong." The girl whispered the name and looked at the stage with some curiosity. At this moment, a boy who is too "beautiful" to talk is walking on the stage amid the applause of everyone.
"Wow, this handsome guy is so handsome."
"He's really a man?"
"Ha, this guy's name is so funny."
……
As soon as An Quantao appeared, it caused a small amount of scuffle. Many "people who came over" were amused by his thunderous name, and some thin-skinned girls took a sip and secretly said that this guy's parents were not ashamed, and they actually gave the child such a "weird" name. And those in the front row, after seeing his "handsome" appearance, talked about it one after another.
"Hehe, Mr. Peng, Quan Tao seems to be very popular." Liu Yufan said funny.
"Huh." Peng Tielin laughed dryly, but he didn't know what to say. He is a teacher, so naturally he can't say whatever he wants like other people.
As for the guy on the stage, he seemed to have been used to such a "welcome", and there was no expression fluctuation on his face, so he sat down directly in front of the piano, adjusted his state, and began to play.
As soon as the hands touch the keys, they move flexibly like two fish, especially the right hand, which is simply "quiet as a virgin, moving like a rabbit", and only a slight swing on the keys brings up a series of incredibly dense sounds!
Liszt's Super Technique Etude No. 5 - "Ghost Fire"!
Although it is only an etude, this "Ghost Fire" is also a concert-level repertoire, and its popularity is no less than the "Hungarian Rhapsody" played by Zhang Yue before. And the technical requirements of this piece are even higher than that of "Hungarian Rhapsody".
However, compared to Zhang Yue's need to concentrate on playing just now, An Quantao at this moment is calm and relaxed. Those hands are glued to the keys, and they are extremely flexible!
"Beautiful!" Listening to that ghost fire, several pairs of eyes in the judges' seats lit up at the same time!
Shi Shucheng nodded slightly, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes. After listening to so many people's performances, now I finally see one that can enter my eyes.
This "Ghost Fire" is a very special piece of Liszt's work, and the style of the whole piece is very strange, and it has very high requirements for the touch of the fingers. If the basic skills are not enough, you can't play that smart and weird flavor at all. He himself often told his students about it, but few of them met his requirements. He didn't expect to see a player here who played "Ghost Fire" so carefully.
"This player named An Quantao is not simple." Shi Shucheng stared at the hands on the pair of piano keys, looked at the standard and standardized hand shape, and nodded lightly.
