Chapter 190: Amazing Mo Xi
A soft song "Sigh" attracted the attention of the audience, and also made the five judges look at this soft-looking contestant differently.
To be able to play Liszt's concert-level etudes to such an extent, Su Anran has already used her strength to explain everything.
After a song, the audience applauded thunderously!
With a smile on his face, Shi Shucheng took the initiative to take the microphone and commented on Su Anran's performance.
"You're a third-grade student, I remember if your teacher is that, isn't it Teacher Xie?" Shi Shucheng asked with a smile. This game is not a professional competition, and he is not afraid of others saying that he is unfair. In his opinion, the students of the Central Conservatory of Music came to participate in such a competition, which can only be said to be simply to exercise their competition experience.
"Yes, Mr. Shi." Seeing that Shi Shucheng recognized himself, Su Anran showed a happy smile on his face, and at the same time, a natural sense of superiority was unconsciously released.
The Piano Department of the Central Conservatory of Music, this is a well-known golden sign in the national piano world! The students here have absolutely strong self-confidence wherever they go!
"Third grader, this song "Sigh" should not be difficult for you, you performed very well just now, basically there is no major problem, very good. Your family is here, how did you come to participate in this competition? Shi Shucheng asked with a smile, there were many people in the audience, but he chatted with Su Anran with a calm face, as if he completely regarded everyone as air.
"Yes, Mr. Shi, my home is from Jianghai City, and you are welcome to come to my house as a guest." The more Su Anran talked, the more relaxed he became.
"Hehe, okay, I'll go if I have a chance." Shi Shucheng smiled and nodded at her, then said nothing more, lowered his head and scored.
With such a play, the other judges will naturally behave as people, knowing that the person in front of him is a high-talent student of the Central Conservatory of Music, and his score will definitely not be low.
When the final results came out, it was not to everyone's expectations, and the high score of 98.50 points was definitely a big mountain in front of many players.
"Hehe, I really can't imagine that the talented students of the Central Conservatory of Music will actually come to participate in a semi-professional competition like the Jianghai Cup. An Quan said with a smile. He is also considered to be "half" of the piano department of the Central Conservatory of Music, but those students who are really professional students don't look down on him as "registered disciples", and similarly, An Quantao has no good impression of those arrogant students. It's because when he just said this, his tone was a little sour.
"Yes, I didn't expect that we have talents here in Jianghai, but I guess I won't stay here when I finish school." Peng Tielin also said with some emotion. Seeing the performance of this player named Su Anran, Peng Tielin was also a little surprised. originally thought that with Liu Yufan and An Quantao, two players, he could win the top three steadily, but after watching the performance of other players, he realized that there are people outside the world and there are heavens outside the sky. Su Anran's performance just now, although it seemed to him to be a little worse than Liu Yufan, was already on par with An Quantao. Even in his feelings, he is a little stronger than An Quantao.
Moreover, from the scores of others, this point is also confirmed.
It's just over halfway through, and there may be some kind of masters coming out of the back, don't underestimate other players. Peng Tielin thought with emotion. I looked at the left side of the stage, where the players played. At this moment, Liu Yufan had already gone backstage to prepare, and Peng Tielin couldn't see the situation over there, but his eyes still drifted to that side from time to time.
"Yufan, you must not let me down." Peng Tielin thought secretly.
It seemed that he saw Peng Tielin's thoughts, An Quan said with a smile: "Teacher Peng, don't worry, with Yufan's strength, it is definitely the strength to impact the top three, if it is not for some anti-heaven characters, it is not impossible to be the first." Don't look at Su Anran's very powerful appearance just now, he is a little worse than Yu Fan. An Quan said with a smile. His realm is much higher than Peng Tielin, what kind of level Liu Yufan is, he knows it in his heart.
In this afternoon's game, the overall level is obviously much stronger than yesterday's youth group, with Su Anran in front, and several players on the back are not weak, especially a boy named Wu Yi, with a Beethoven's "Dawn Sonata", he won the full house of the audience, and the score is also close to Su Anran at the beginning, which makes people addicted to watch!
Shi Shucheng on the judges' bench also looked much better. This kind of competition can barely get into his eyes, and it is not in vain for him to come here. This afternoon, he commented on several players and seemed very interested.
"Next, I would like to invite Mo Xi, the No. 8 contestant, whose repertoire is "Liszt Paganini's Great Etude - Bell"" Jiajia smiled and finished the curtain, and the audience immediately burst into warm applause.
Mo Xi, who was wearing a black dress, walked onto the stage with a platform expression, with delicate facial features, but with an innate cold and glamorous temperament, which attracted a lot of attention from the audience.
"Mo Xi, her name is Mo Xi." Listening to the name reported by the host Jiajia, Liu Yufan was thoughtful, as if he had caught something in his head.
Hearing that she played this song "Bell", which is known for its high difficulty, people who know a little bit are looking forward to it, after all, in terms of technical difficulty, this piece should be the most difficult repertoire selected by the contestants from the competition to the present.
Shi Shucheng's expression also became focused. He has a much deeper understanding of this "Bell" than others. The depth of the piano skills required for this piece has almost reached a peak, and those who can have the courage to play this piece are either megalomaniac or confident in their piano skills.
I wonder which one she will be? Looking at Mo Xi, who was already sitting in front of the piano and preparing to play, a look of expectation flashed in Professor Shi Shucheng's eyes. You know, even in the piano department of the Central Conservatory of Music, there are not too many students who can play this piece well.
"I'm going to play this tune!" In the corner, a trace of discoloration flashed in Jiang Ya's beautiful eyes. Although she can't play this "Bell", she knows it very well. It's just because Liu Yufan has mentioned this song in her ear more than once, and of course, he has not played it less. To be honest, although she heard Liu Yufan play it many times, every time she saw him play, Jiang Ya was still unconsciously shocked. This tune is gorgeous! Whether it's visual or auditory, it's a first-class shock!
Now, seeing that this player named Mo Xi actually chose to play such a tune, Jiang Ya's heart was full of surprise.
Looking at the shiny keys in front of him, Mo Xi's moving eyes became extremely focused. This is a super difficult piece, and no matter how good a pianist is, when playing it, he must pay full attention and dare not have a trace of grandeur!
"Knock Knock Ding......" The right hand gracefully jumps on the keys, bringing a string of slightly quiet and elegant sounds, which sounds like a string of wind chimes swinging in the wind.
This is the prelude to "The Bell", and it sounds so simple that even a beginner piano student can easily play it. But if you think that's all there is to The Bell, you're mistaken, it's just a prelude to a few bars.
At first glance, the slender fingers instantly danced a dazzling dance on the keys like a graceful elf!
The little finger of the right hand is constantly thrown towards the high register, bringing a series of crystal-transparent main melodies, while the other fingers play a series of unison-like chords below the main melody.
The left hand moves rapidly in the bass and midrange, with little tossing and almost no throwing movement, and moves completely parallel to the keys, which is also to save as much time as possible. But in such a situation, it is quite difficult to relax the arm that still remains intact!
"Master!" Almost everyone who knows how to hear this performance will be sincerely impressed from the bottom of their hearts!
"It's amazing, I can't imagine that I can see such a level of player in such a competition, it's not worth the trip!" Liu Yufan was standing on the side of the stage waiting for the scene at the moment, and after the Mo Xi on the stage in front of him finished playing, it was his turn to play. I have to say that Mo Xi's performance did make Liu Yufan feel a little pressure.
From the beginning of the competition to the present, good results have emerged one after another, such as An Quantao, Su Anran, and Wu Yi...... These players have performed very well. However, in all fairness, Liu Yufan felt that these people could not form any pressure on him, and there was an obvious gap between the other party's level and his own, and he still had a bottom in his heart.
But only at this moment, when facing Mo Xi, Liu Yufan felt that the original sentence "There are people outside the world, and there is heaven outside the sky" is applicable to everyone. Seeing Mo Xi, Liu Yufan felt that he had underestimated the heroes of the world.
Liu Yufan doesn't even need to look, just by listening with his ears, he can hear the level under Mo Xi's hands, which is on par with himself! This "Bell", even if you change yourself, it will be played like this. Maybe there will be differences in the handling of details, but it is impossible to say how much higher than others.
A hint of surprise flashed in Shi Shucheng's eyes! This competition, which seemed to him to be very "amateur" before, has really brought him too many surprises from the beginning to the present, not to mention yesterday's An Quantao and today's Su Anran, which is definitely the level of the alto piano department. And right now, this Mo Xi is actually a lot higher! In Shi Shucheng's opinion, just with the performance of this "Bell", Mo Xi can already rank among the ranks of excellent pianists!
"Which conservatory cultivated such an excellent seedling?" Shi Shucheng thought in surprise.
