In front of a delicate Steinway upright piano, a pair of hands are playing frantically on the keyboard!

Ten fingers rose and fell, hitting the keys like raindrops, and at the same time, a sound like a storm poured out from the fingers!

This is Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2, and at this moment, the person who plays it is Chen Hao, who was just seen by Chu Yang at the elevator entrance!

It is a small piano shop located next to the Utrecht Municipal Concert Hall, and it also provides a temporary practice space for competitors.

The door of the piano room was closed, and the sealing and sound insulation were very good, and the sound of the piano like an angry wave did not leak out.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Hao's amazing "Crazy 2" did not cause a bigger riot!

Madness 2, which contains the sound of killing, is no longer a simple piano piece, ordinary people hearing such music, I am afraid that even their minds will be affected by the sound of the piano and fall into a real state of madness!

Before he really followed Luo Qianqian to practice Ledao and entered her "Le Shen Gate", Chen Hao still had a trace of guilt in his heart for not fulfilling his promise. After all, he had a verbal agreement with Chu Yang, and he lost the game, but he didn't report to Huayin Entertainment as promised.

However, when Luo Qianqian showed him her "Ledao" charm for the first time, Chen Hao was crazy!

In the face of such magical power, as a piano talent, he can't refuse at all, just like a master photographer sees the most beautiful scenery and a gourmand sees a peerless delicacies!

Go to his promise, go to his check-in!

He's going to get that power! He wants to use this power to defeat the man who brought him shame!

More than a month of closed-door practice completely changed Chen Hao's previous understanding of piano and music. Until then, he had always thought that music was pure music. It is a kind of artwork for people to appreciate, entertain and enjoy spiritually. However, in the past month or so, he has seen another power of music!

That is the kind of power that can control heaven and earth, and can look down on all beings!

That's a power that can turn people into gods!

Chen Hao was completely immersed in such a power and couldn't extricate himself! He practiced like crazy day and night. In addition to practicing, it is to meditate and breathe according to the strange set of oral duels that the woman taught him!

He was gradually pleasantly surprised to find that his ten fingers were getting stronger and stronger, his keys were becoming more sensitive, and his thinking was becoming more and more agile......

A change in qiē happens unconsciously.

During this period, this owner of the door who was too beautiful to talk and too cold to talk about. Commented on his performance twice, and those were two reviews that he will never forget!

There is no guidance on the technical details, only a grasp of the inherent "power" of music. She taught this piano talent how to turn music into her own "weapon"!

Chen Hao has been playing for two hours in a row, and he is already sweating at this moment, and the high-intensity piano performance is no less than the high-intensity physical labor. But now for him. Play the full set of Liszt's super tricks, plus these rhapsodies, fantasias, and more. It's as easy as eating and drinking for him!

"Chu Yang, I must defeat you!" In the music with a hint of fanaticism, Chen Hao's face was terrifying, and his hands exploded directly with maximum strength!

Steinway let out an explosive high-intensity chord, and if there were ordinary people here, I am afraid that they would be directly knocked to the ground by the sound of this piano!

Despite being only a short training session for a month. But the sound of killing is the fastest entry and the most obvious effect of all the five tones. Because it's purely used for attacking, the music categories that can be integrated into it are relatively simple. Fortunately, many of Liszt's works. All have a kind of fanatical feeling, for Chen Hao, it is not difficult to integrate the meaning of killing into these songs!

He believed that if such a sound appeared on the stage of the Liszt Cup Piano Competition, it would definitely shock the old guys.

And that hateful guy from Chu Yang!

Chen Hao secretly swore in his heart that sooner or later, one day, he would cultivate the Le Dao to the level of the Lord of Luomen, and then, he would use the sound of killing to shatter that guy's heart with his own hands!

Coming out of this piano shop, Chen Hao slowly walked to the street. There are still three days left before the international trials, and he has time.

The door master, the beautiful but extremely cold woman, the words before leaving echoed in his mind.

"Defeat Chu Yang and get this championship, this is the only thing I want from you. If you can't, you won't have to come back to see me! ”

The voice was cold, resolute, and not at all emotional. Chen Hao didn't dare to doubt the authenticity of her words, and he agreed without hesitation!

He is now equipped with a stunt, even if Liszt comes back to life, it is impossible to play these works better than himself, if so, he can't win that guy, and he can be killed without the disposal of the master!

"Chen Hao? Is it really you? Stop! A silver bell-like voice sounded, it was the voice that Chen Hao had heard in his dreams countless times, but at this moment, this voice was not so friendly to him!

"Wan'er?" Chen Hao raised his head and saw the beautiful lover of his dreams, standing in front of him, and immediately exclaimed in surprise.

But he soon discovered the man beside her, the one he hated the most.

"Chen Hao." Chu Yang and Chen Hao looked at each other and greeted him lightly.

For this guy, Chu Yang still had a good impression before, after all, although he was a little arrogant, his piano foundation was still good. But now, Chu Yang's good impression of this guy has almost disappeared.

If you don't keep your word, this person has a problem with his character! How can such a person learn music well? If you are not honest with yourself, how can you be honest with music?

"Chu Yang, we're meeting again!" Chen Hao's gaze was a little evasive at first, but when he thought that he was about to defeat him in the game, the confidence in his heart suddenly became enough again, looked directly into his gaze, and said loudly.

"Aren't you going to explain?" Chu Yang asked him with a faint smile.

"Nothing to explain. Yes, I didn't report to your company, but so what? Chu Yang, don't think that if you win a game, you can be proud in front of me. I'm going to take back everything I lost in this fight! Chen Hao looked at Chu Yang and let out a deep voice with a hideous expression!

"Oh? Seeing that you are so confident, it seems that you have been in good form recently. But. I'm not interested in people who don't keep their word. If you want to win me, then show your skills. Wan'er, let's go. Chu Yang said lightly.

For Chen Hao's backlash, he didn't have much anger. Playing the piano badly is a technical problem, and not keeping promises is a character problem. For people with character problems, even if he begged to join his Leshen Sect, Chu Yang would not give him such an opportunity.

Chen Hao didn't know that it seemed to him to be a completely humiliating job. But it's a great opportunity that many musicians dream of!

"Chen Hao, I really didn't expect you to be such a person." Wan'er walked past Chen Hao and said contemptuously in a contemptuous tone.

In the past, Chen Hao was famous in the academy, and he played the piano really well, and Wan'er's impression of this person was okay. But after this incident, that little bit of goodwill is gone!

This kind of man who doesn't even talk about credit is really not worth talking to him about. Wan'er didn't even want to look at him anymore.

The two of them returned to the hotel and enjoyed a good meal of local delicacies. After visiting the night view of the city again, I have to say that Utrecht is really a very cultural city, different from the big, fast and busy rhythm of Yanjing and Shanghai in China, there is a kind of leisure and art everywhere here. Walking here is easy to relax people's minds.

The three days passed quickly, and Chu Yang, who had already been prepared. He didn't continue to practice in the past few days, and he didn't need the "hot hands" that were important to other players. With his physique, even if he doesn't play the piano for a year and a half, he won't have the problem of joint stiffness.

In these three days. Chu Yang completely relaxed and enjoyed the wonderful "two-person world" with Wan'er. At the same time, he also secretly decided in his heart that after the end of this game, on the one hand, the Leshenmen would be officially announced, and on the other hand, he would officially go to Wan'er's house to meet with her parents and make the relationship between the two public. In the past, Chu Yang did not have such strength, so naturally he did not have such confidence. After all, the big family behind Wan'er still made Chu Yang very jealous. But now there is no such thing as zài, if Wan'er's family does not agree, Chu Yang can take Wan'er away and move directly to that small island. When he has arranged the defensive formation on the island, I believe that even if the country embarrasses himself, it will be impossible to find him in trouble!

Of course, if the problem can be solved satisfactorily, Chu Yang still doesn't want things to come to this point. He believes that when the time comes, as long as he shows his strength a little, Wan'er's family will still make the right choice.

One morning three days later, Chu Yang and Wan'er had breakfast and walked towards the Utrecht Municipal Concert Hall, where the competition took place.

The Utrecht Municipal Concert Hall is located in the very center of the city, opposite a large garden and a very beautiful setting. This concert hall is also known as the "Liszt" concert hall, naturally because of the Liszt Masters Cup. The Liszt Masters Cup is held every four years and has become a fixture in the city, and at this time, the city of Utrecht becomes a sea of activity.

The two of them walked along a street full of European style and slowly walked to the garden square in front of the concert hall, and before they reached the front of the concert hall, they already felt the atmosphere of the competition.

The streets are full of people, locals, outsiders, men, women, the elderly, children...... Dressed in a variety of bright costumes, they occasionally took pictures on the grass in front of the concert hall.

Under the shade of the trees, beside the steps, you can see improvising folk musicians everywhere, although they are street improvisations, they all show a high level of musical literacy and skill, and often win warm applause from the audience.

Some of the contestants, family and friends in their costumes also took photos in front of the concert hall, and for most pianists, being able to make it to the quarter-finals was a huge success in itself. As for the ranking, of course, it is better to be able to get it, but for ordinary pianists, this kind of top-level world piano competition, with many strong players, is quite difficult to get the final ranking.

It should also be noted here that the Liszt Masters Cup format requires a total of four rounds of selection if you follow the normal procedure. They are "International Selection", "Quarterfinals", "Semifinals" and "Finals". However, people like Chu Yang, Lang Lang and others who hold a letter of recommendation from the "super judges" do not need to participate in the international selection competition, and can directly enter the quarterfinals. There are not many people in the world who have the qualification of "super judge", but such as Graffman, the president of the Curtis Institute of Music in the United States, Zhou Guangren, a professor at the Central Conservatory of Music in China, and the famous Russian pianist Kissin, etc., all belong to this qualification. Because they have already made a name for themselves in the international piano music scene, they do not need to participate in such competitions to prove themselves, and because of their fame, their recommendations are very weighty. Of course, these people will not casually recommend a person of average level to participate in the competition, which will ruin their reputation.

Chu Yang's recommendation quota was given to him by Zhou Guangren. In the ranking of the top international conservatories, in fact, the Central Conservatory of Music is still relatively low, but because of Zhou Guangren's existence, the piano department of Alto can also get a place, which is also an important reason why the piano department of Alto has always been proud of the piano departments of other conservatories in China.

Even after reaching the quarter-finals, the next game will still be tough. The semi-finals require a 35-minute performance of their own choreography, but must include one of the seven repertoire required by the competition. These pieces are all classics of Liszt's repertoire, and at the same time, they are all very technically difficult. Liszt's piano works are very difficult in themselves, let alone specially selected by the organizing committee of the competition.

Chu Yang has always wondered how he got this recommended place with Chen Hao's level, but the competition was imminent, and he didn't think much about it. At this moment, he couldn't have imagined that behind this Chen Hao, there was a big secret like a bombshell for him!

At the door of the concert hall, Chu Yang showed his competition player ID, and Chu Yang separated from Wan'er here and walked into the preparation room specially provided for the players. In another hour, the game will officially begin! (To be continued......)
