Chapter 200: The Final (Part II)
"Yufan is on the field!" An Quantao shouted excitedly.
Mo Yan looked at Liu Yufan standing on the stage, and his eyes showed a look of relief. This kid has a high surname and is willing to work hard, and he is really a student he likes very much.
looked at the judges' bench next to him, and Shi Shucheng, who was sitting in the middle, was also looking at Liu Yufan intently, and did not notice Mo Yan's gaze. With more than 1,000 spectators in the audience, he naturally wouldn't notice Mo Yan.
Mo Yan looked at Shi Shucheng, and a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes.
Moved the piano bench and adjusted a posture that was most suitable for playing, Liu Yufan calmed down, put aside all the miscellaneous thoughts, and adjusted his whole person to the state of playing.
His final piece was Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, which was not the most difficult piece he could play, but it was his favorite and most deeply studied piece.
The left hand slightly stroked the slightly warm keys, driven by the wrist, the weight of the palm and forearm was evenly transferred to the keys, and the seemingly imperceptible wrist movements made the piano send out a low chord like an undercurrent, from light to heavy, from nothing, without a trace of abruptness and restlessness, everything seemed so natural and free.
The right hand, like a restless petrel, flew up from the low register of the keys, bringing up a series of notes in a minor key with tragic colors!
If you look at it from the side, Liu Yufan's right hand cavity just maintains a standard parallel state with the keys, and the distance between the two is exactly the length of the fingers after bending.
"Good standard hand shape!" Shi Shucheng praised in his heart. In the preliminaries, Shi Shucheng felt that Liu Yufan's foundation was solid, and at this moment, seeing this relatively kung fu fast arpeggio of the right hand, Liu Yufan actually performed so perfectly, Shi Shucheng was even more amazed!
The right hand instantly exerts force in the high register of the piano, and the two crisp chords are like droplets from the angry waves hitting the rocks, which are so crisp and thorough! The soft timbre of the Yamaha piano was actually compensated for by this strong play, so that it sounded very much like the sound of a high-end piano!
Liu Yufan leaned forward, his lips were pursed, his expression was focused and resolute, and his whole expression matched this "Moonlight Sonata", giving people a very strong sense of visual impact!
A string of more dissonant arpeggios sounded, and the music became sharper and more conflicted, as if the contradictions were intensifying, and the dissonant chords in the high registers seemed to declare the excitement and anger in the player's heart!
At the moment of playing the powerful chord, Liu Yufan's entire upper body vibrated with it, and the action looked extremely crisp and energetic, in the eyes of the layman, this may just be a body movement made for the sake of good looks, but only professionals like Shi Shucheng know the meaning of this action, which is the visual effect caused by the explosion of most of the weight of the body in an instant, and the smooth transmission to the fingertips through the arm. Some people who practice martial arts say "shaking jin", this is a very advanced technique, but most people use it in vain, or do not do it well, only those who are skilled in the piano can use this skill freely!
When Liu Yufan played those two crisp burst chords, Shi Shucheng's eyes lit up! He was so familiar with the movement that he used in many of his songs, and he knew all too well the technical difficulty behind it. The action that Liu Yufan did just now looked so comfortable and happy to him, and even just looking at his movements made him feel a sense of comfort!
"This kid must be recruited to the Alto High School, this is a very outstanding genius student!" After watching Liu Yufan's performance, Shi Shucheng became more determined in his thoughts.
More than eight minutes of performance, tense and tense music, always firmly grasped the hearts of the audience and judges, Liu Yufan's excellent skills, atmospheric and delicate performance, conquered all the people present!
When he played the last chord and threw his arms high from the keys, the audience burst into a long and enthusiastic applause!
"Great! Yufan's "Moonlight" is simply perfect! Ahn Quan Tao praised. This song, he didn't listen to Liu Yufan play it for the first time, but every time he listened to it, he couldn't help but applaud. He didn't know what level Liu Yufan had reached, but he felt that even those recorded versions were far less enjoyable than listening to Liu Yufan's performance with his own ears!
"yes, that's amazing! This kid's piano is enough to be proud of the entire Jianghai. Peng Tielin also sighed.
"Jiang Hai? Teacher Peng, it's not me who blows, at Yufan's level, even if he gets the Central Conservatory of Music, he can still be ranked up. An Quantao said loudly.
"Yufan, good job!" Looking at Yu Fan who was bowing on the stage, Jiang Ya's beautiful eyes were full of brilliance, the moment Yu Fan played on the stage just now, it really gave her an illusion, as if the person in front of the piano was no longer the Yu Fan she was familiar with, but a real piano superstar, showing her magnificent demeanor!
In the audience, Su Anran, who had just finished playing, looked at Liu Yufan on the stage with a somewhat complicated expression.
She is a talented student in the alto piano department, and her vision is naturally extraordinary. After listening to Liu Yufan's performance, she already fully understood that her piano level was really completely inferior to this young man who looked less than twenty years old. It's just that this result is really difficult for her to accept. You know, he is a talented student in the alto piano department, the "pride of the sky" in the piano world, and he is almost destined to be a pianist after graduation, and he is not just a student in an ordinary high school? How could he get to such an extent? How did he practice?
"Liu Yufan~~" Looking at Yu Fan on the stage, a strange look flashed in Mo Xi's eyes, she really didn't expect that she would meet such a strong opponent on such a stage. With his performance, he is almost on par with himself, but he has studied at the world-famous Curtis Institute of Music for three years!
"Yu Fan, seriously, your performance just now really impressed me!" Not surprisingly, Shi Shucheng personally started the review, and he was surprising at the beginning.
It was not easy to be able to spit out the words "impressive" from his mouth.
"Thank you, Mr. Shi." Liu Yufan smiled slightly and said politely.
"You're welcome, really, I didn't expect you to be able to play Moonlight Sonata to this extent. Seriously, just this song, with your level, you can become a teacher at the Central Conservatory of Music. Shi Shucheng said half-jokingly.
The joke of "Wow~~~" caused an uproar in the audience like a stone stirring up a thousand waves.
"That's an exaggeration!"
"Going to the Central Conservatory of Music as a teacher? He's just a student! ”
"That's amazing, dude!"
…… Obviously, no one expected that Shi Shucheng would have such a high opinion of him, and everyone's faces were surprised.
Wang He on the side opened his mouth wide in surprise, looking at Liu Yufan on the stage, his expression was full of complexity and bitterness, he couldn't imagine that he was a hairy boy a few years ago, but now he has such luck and has been so highly praised by Shi Shucheng, a god-level master. With this sentence, Liu Yutong can almost ascend to the sky in the Chinese piano world!
He didn't understand why Shi Shucheng would give him such a high evaluation, to be honest, although his performance was good just now, Wang He didn't hear it that good. Of course, this is also related to his own level, and there are many wonders, but he can't see them.
At this moment, Wang He even began to regret a little, he shouldn't let Liu Yufan participate in this competition.
Thinking of such an excellent student, but slipped away under his nose, and what he did back then, after all, it was also a yin family, if it reached his ears one day, when he trembled in the piano world, he could still have his own good fruit to eat?
What Wang He didn't know was that Liu Yufan had already known about his small methods through Ma Wendong's network.
After listening to Shi Shucheng's praise, Liu Yufan only nodded slightly in thanks, and did not have a too surprised expression.
Seeing Liu Yufan's pampered and unfazed bearing, Shi Shucheng nodded slightly, this child's surname is also very good, and he has the potential to become everyone.
"You played this piece very well, I have nothing to comment on, you continue the jam session, I look forward to your performance." Shi Shucheng said with a smile.
The two graduate students sitting next to him, Chang Hua and Du Mingyin, were full of envy in their eyes. What a compliment, this kid in front of him is really amazing! can actually get such a blue eye from Mr. Shi, the future must be bright!
"Okay!" Liu Yufan smiled and nodded at Shi Shucheng, turned to face the big screen, and chose a number at random.
The next moment, a stave appeared on the screen, followed by a short monophonic melody in the stereo.
This is a typical minor-key piece, the music has four sentences, and it is also arranged according to the law of beginning and ending, but a few variations in it give the song a different feeling.
So far in the competition, the impromptu question that Liu Yufan has drawn should be regarded as the most difficult one. Seeing this question, some contestants showed a look of schadenfreude in their eyes. To be honest, Liu Yufan has just received such a high evaluation from Shi Shucheng, and some players are inevitably envious, jealous and hateful, not everyone has such a broad mind, and not everyone has such a high level of appreciation, and they can hear the extraordinary in Liu Yufan's performance.
After listening carefully to the tune, Liu Yufan looked calm, thought for a while, and walked towards the piano.
