In July 2003, with the support and encouragement of his mentor Carl Norman, Zhuo Yang, who has achieved a small success in piano performance, won the gold medal in the scorching summer, with a piece of "Concerto Introduction and Passionate Allegro 92" in the final of the 14th Schumann International Piano Competition held in the small town of Zwickau, Germany, with a score of 54 out of nine judges.

Today, five years have passed, and Zhuo Yang has become a leader among the young generation of performers in the classical music scene, and even many industry bigwigs praise him as 'the first young person today'. A few months ago, Zhuo Yang participated in the performance of "Vienna New Year's Concert" at the Vienna Musikverein, which confirmed this identity.

In terms of the interpretation of Chopin's music, Zhuo Yang also relied on the unique creation of "Waltz in a sharp minor key" on "Meet Chopin" that year, so that he had his own voice in playing Chopin, and this sound shocked the classical music scene, and also shocked the Polish classical music industry with Chopin as its soul.

The development process of the Ukrainian beauty Bita Belinska, who was wronged and lost to Zhuo Yang, was not lost to him at all, Xiao Nizi is a 'piano ten generations' with family history, and later studied under the famous professor Adam Kosmiega of the Chopin Conservatory in Warsaw, Poland. Belinska, who is both beautiful and artistic, is very tall and confident, and she went to the Schumann competition purely because of a whim after gambling with her family.

At the age of 22, Belinska was already well-known in the classical music scene, recognized as the "lady of heaven", the Polish school itself is a fusion of the Soviet Russian school and the German-Austrian school, and the Belinska, who focuses on Chopin, is also very proficient in the music of the German-Austrian school of 'Bahaimo Beshu'.

That year, she went for the gold medal, and she was even the gimmick and excitement of that 'Schumann Competition', and everyone was optimistic about her before the competition, and there was almost no controversy about it. But the surprise of Zhuo Yang's defeat to Zhuo Yang also made Belinska very aggrieved and dissatisfied, because among the nine judges were Zhuo Yang's mentor, Professor Norman, as well as Norman's friends, and friends' friends. Belinska believes that there is a back-box operation in it, and there is a lot of criticism in the classical music world about that competition.

To be honest, at that time, Zhuo Yang and Belinska were equal in performance and performance, and whoever won the gold medal could say that the past would make the world feel sorry for each other. Zhuo Yang does have Professor Norman's partiality and nepotism in it, but this kind of thing is like the famous 'goal-line suspense' between England and Germany in the 1966 World Cup, and whether the goal is scored or not will be disputed.

Five years later, Berta Belinska has been emboldened by all contentions, and her playing skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and many public concerts have been complete successes, and her reputation in the international classical music scene is no less than that of Zhuo Yang. In the interpretation of Chopin's music, Belinska even beat Zhuo Yang, because Zhuo Yang belongs to the big and complete, while Bita specializes in Chopin.

In any case, Zhuo Yang and Bita Belinska are now two of the most prominent performers of the younger generation of classical musicians, and there is no doubt that they are far ahead of the other younger generations.

The world is not a big deal, and as Zhuo Yang and Belinska continue to increase their prestige, the 'Gold Award controversy' has become more and more controversial. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the seemingly noble classical music scene is no exception. The dispute between Zhuo Yang and Belinska involves the dispute between schools and schools, and the struggle for the right to speak, to put it bluntly, is the political struggle in the piano.

Today's admiration for Zhuo Yang is naturally led by the German-Austrian school led by the Hannover University of Music, as well as the French school such as the Milan Conservatory. However, the Soviet-Russian school and the Polish school believed that Bita Belinska was more focused on music, and Zhuo Yang was barely as famous as Bita because of the popularity of football.

There was no result in the scramble, so I simply found a chance to compete. As a result, the 'Golden Competition' of the special year has become the best arena.

The Chopin International Piano Competition is generally limited to 1828 years old, and Zhuo Yang is naturally suitable, and the 27-year-old Bita also meets the regulations. Although there is an unspoken rule of 'Fuji Competition', this one is not a special case! In fact, in terms of competition principles, Zhuo Yang and Belinska are not very compatible, because the contestants participating in these competitions belong to potential stocks that have not yet become famous, Zhuo Yang and Belinska have already become famous, they already belong to the performers, and the participants should only be pianists. The age limit for participation also has this implication in it, otherwise a master like Pollini, who is unruly by nature, suddenly wants to participate on a whim, isn't that bullying?

Again, this isn't a special competition! It is a pity that the first Chopin International Piano Competition did not bring two of its most prestigious young musicians to its portfolio.

Zhuo Yang held the invitation letter and naturally couldn't understand the knowledge in it, so he could only ask his tutor to see where to go. In fact, even the masters who have already made a name for themselves are reluctant to participate in these kinds of competitions, and it would be humiliating to lose them. Which of you have ever seen Andy Lau go to the Happy Boys?

"Bita Belinska has agreed to participate." Professor Norman let Zhuo Yang know what to do in one sentence, who hasn't been competitive anymore? Five years ago you were not convinced, five years later you will be convinced!

"The Warsaw Music Society has also invited me and Professor Wadi, as well as Professor Pollini, Grimaud and a number of well-known people from our side to be the judges of the competition." Professor Norman added.

Hearing this, Zhuo Yang showed a knowing smile.

Unlike the Schumann Piano Competition and some other competitions, the Chopin International Piano Competition has a large jury of fifty or sixty people, with an irregular number of judges. In addition to the 29 regular judges from the traditional Polish school, an almost equal number of other celebrities in the field are invited to serve as judges each year, each with one vote for the same time.

In this way, the Chopin competition is obviously fairer, and there is little possibility of human influence, and there is naturally his temperament and reason for being ranked first in the world. It is not the first time that Norman and Wadi have been invited, but this time it is obviously to show fairness, justice and openness, and the Warsaw Music Association's move is very open.

The game lasts for one week, and it will only last for ten days, and it will affect up to three games at that time. For Zhuo Yang, the value of this game is much higher than the Champions Cup final and even the World Cup final, so let alone three games, it is thirteen, and Milan has to agree if he disagrees.

A Milan club will of course be the beauty of adults, and Zhuo Yang's forced style is not the club's forced style strengthening. Besides, such a wealthy family can't be uncovered because of a player, even if this player is Zhuo Yang.

Zhuo Yang and Bita Belinska happily agreed to participate, making the 'Golden Chopin Competition' a 'golden showdown', and the world classical music scene is looking forward to who is the youngest pianist today, and it will be clear in a few months.
