"Jerrod. Jones! ”

Hearing this name, Liu Yufan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but glance at the side of the stage.

This name may not be very famous now, but Liu Yufan knows that it is this guy, with a video that spreads on the Internet...... And famous. Although this song came out in advance because of Liu Yufan's existence, this guy's strength is quite terrifying!

Liu Yufan still remembers that when he saw his performance on the Internet for the first time, he was dumbfounded by his amazing piano skills. Although he is an American pianist, his playing style is somewhat similar to Berezovsky's, both are direct and straightforward, without any superfluous movements. It looks like a lot of fun!

Liu Yufan knows that to reach such a height, the performer needs to have profound basic skills, and the understanding of piano skills has entered a realm of "habit becomes natural". For example, Lang Lang, although he is also very "exaggerated" when he plays now, most of the movements are still a bit redundant, which belongs to him to "excited" himself or deliberately do it for the sake of musical "performance". Compared with this kind of "natural", it is one level lower.

Wearing a casual black casual T-shirt, the blonde Jerrod. Jones walked up to the stage with very casual steps.

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

"Sure enough, it's him!" Seeing this guy up close, Liu Yufan's impression of him changed again.

The real Jerrod. Jones seems to be about the same height as Liu Yufan. However, his figure is obviously thinner than Liu Yufan. But Liu Yufan didn't doubt the explosion in this body. This guy is playing...... The powerful "explosive force" that he showed could make everyone who saw him play tremble with excitement.

Lang Lang sat next to Liu Yufan and saw that he was so concerned about this player. I can't help but feel a little weird.

Among the Chinese players in the same company, if you want to say who Lang Lang admires the most, I am afraid it will be this Liu Yufan. Although the level of several people is not about the same. However, when it comes to background, it is he and Liu Yufan who are the most bitter. For example, Wang Yujia and Li Yundi have had a relatively good family environment since they were children, not to mention the good economic conditions of the family, and the piano education they received is also extremely high-quality. It's like when he was young, his father was a erhu, and there were no conditions at home, so it was already a miracle of miracles for him to learn this step. This forced their family to "jump off the building" and "drink medicine" again and again.

And Liu Yufan is even worse than himself. The family is in the countryside, not to mention. Mom and Dad have nothing to do with music, Mom farms at home, although Dad is a teacher, and he is a literate person, but he teaches physics, and he can't play music with eight poles. I heard that this kid watched others play the piano on TV, and then used elementary school music textbooks to learn music theory. And then use the old pedal organ in the school to enter the door? When Lang Lang heard Liu Yufan talk about this at first glance, it was like listening to a fantasy.

"Hey, what are you looking at, what's so nice about that guy. Lang Lang turned Liu Yufan with his elbow and asked softly.

"Huh. This contestant is quite individual, you see that everyone else wears a suit or a tuxedo, but this old gentleman went up directly in a black casual suit. Liu Yufan smiled and nodded at the jack who had already walked in front of the piano. Jones said.

"Hehe, that's true, but American pianists are generally more individual. You haven't been to our school to see it, not to mention his dress, he usually wears pajamas to class, and the teacher never says anything, so get used to it. Lang Lang said with a smile.

"Yo, really, the class is probably messy enough." Liu Yufan said with a smile. He could imagine the kind of situation that Lang Lang said. Foreign universities are already open, and there are not as many rules as domestic universities, and the management is more humane. Especially in music schools, in order to show off their individuality, any kind of student can appear. Although the piano was invented by Westerners, the 1.3 billion Chinese are still not as many talents as a school cultivated, which is somewhat unreasonable. …,

Jerrod. Jones sat down at the piano, bent down and moved the stool with both hands, tested the distance between the front and back, and then sat down with his ass again, trying to see if it was strong. His movements are skillful and natural, but they are casually practiced as if they were in his own piano room.

However, his actions were very natural and did not arouse the disgust of others at all.

After tuning, Jerrod. Jones put his hands on his lap, looked at the keys with his eyes, and then raised his arms and began to play as if a journeyman were about to get to work!

The moment the ten fingers touched the keys, as if they were suddenly injected with infinite power, the lightning and stone fire "pumped" on the keys, and a sound like a pinch suddenly came out of the huge Steinway body!

Jerrod. Jones's sleeves were pulled up to his elbows, revealing two arms that weren't quite strong, but were strong. With the power of his "pumping", the two little arms carried a crisp and domineering momentum, and his energy was shown in an instant!

Seeing this signature action, Liu Yufan's eyes froze again, and his heart was dark!

Sure enough, it was bounced...... Although the characters are played by Liszt, you can still see the traces of that wild and natural! The piano seemed to have become a familiar tool in his hands, and when he played the piano, it was as if he was fiddling with his favorite toy. Watching him play the piano, you will feel that playing the piano is such an interesting thing, and playing the piano can be played so passionately and in a state!

This is a guy who can mobilize his own passion for playing, and can arouse the passion of others to play!

Watching him play, it's easy to forget that he's playing or performing something, and you're completely captivated by his hands on the keys.

The hands swept over the keys in a constricted shape, bringing a full and exciting stream of sound like the Yangtze River. The arms are at a very comfortable angle to the piano, making people feel that the hands are simply too comfortable on the keys, and each movement can send the fingers to the place where they want to go, and the work of the fingers is to "lift up" and "fall". The combination of big arms, small arms, and fingers is breathtaking!

A rousing chord sounded from the high register of the piano, but the main theme sounded with a hint of heroism. This "Majepa" officially shows its grandeur!

This melody feels a bit like Chopin's "Revolutionary Etudes", in which the right hand plays a melody composed entirely of chords under the rushing sound flow of the left hand. The performance technique of "Luoti" was used by Gerod at the moment. Jones interprets it vividly, and every time his wrist is raised, a chord with the sound of gold and stone is bound to sound in front of him. That kind of crispness and decisiveness sounds like it makes people's blood boil!

Look at Jerrod. Jones's performance, Lang Lang's eyes finally became focused. He also discovered that this guy was extraordinary. In the preliminary round before, this guy only played a piano piece by Liszt, and did not show any too amazing strength, Lang Lang hadn't noticed him at that time, but he had some impressions of his casual dress. But at this moment, when it comes to the semi-finals, this guy's song "Majepa" makes him feel extraordinary!

"Awesome, this is a real master!" After only watching a short paragraph, Lang Lang's heart immediately screamed secretly.

Not only him, but also Li Yundi, Valodos, Kozlovsky and many others, these players who came out of the preliminary round all saw the extraordinaryness of this guy. Jones finally showed his grandeur and began to show his great strength.

Not only him, but who can stand out from the top 50 pianists in the world, who is a simple character who is easy to match? Jerrod. Jones let go of his actions, but it is also tantamount to raising the curtain of a more brutal rematch...,

Looking at the performance of this young American pianist on the stage, Berezovsky's eyes flashed with appreciation. This young man's playing style is very similar to his, and even the style of dressing up of the two people is very similar. Of course, at the moment Gerald . Jones's performance is a little more flamboyant than his, but a little less familiar. But that still doesn't overshadow him. A hint of appreciation flashed in Berezovsky's eyes.

The other four judges also approved. As the top existence in the world, they have long since taken off the cheesy things about appearance, politeness, etc., and have gone straight to the core of the problem - piano skills. Although this pianist from the United States has a more casual appearance and seems to owe some politeness to the judges and the audience, it is undeniable that he is still a very good player. Just looking at this wonderful "Majepa" confirms his strong strength! That is, sitting here, he is still a player, otherwise on the stage, this is already an excellent pianist who can perform independently.

Ten fingers flew, each with a sense of exhilarating transparency, and the keys seemed to be as light as nothing under his hands. A song "Majepa", played for more than four minutes, by Gerod. Jones is calm and relaxed!

At the end of the song, accompanied by his hands thrown high from the piano keys, the audience applauded!

Liu Yufan applauded and took a deep breath at the same time. He knew that from this moment, he had to show the strength to press the bottom of the box, and the real game began! (To be continued) RQ
