Chapter 1 O 4 (Part I) The piano boy won the gold medal

In the second round of the semi-finals, Zhuo Yang chose Schumann's Sonata in F minor, Op. 11. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This round is very crucial, as long as you can enter the top ten, it can be said that you are well-known in the industry, and the global piano community will know that with such a number one person as you, even if you are truly recognized by artists. Zhuo Yang was well prepared, because the title of his dissertation this semester was "An Analysis of the Composition of Schumann's Sonata in F Minor, 11". After studying for half a year, he understands the whole piece very thoroughly.

In the performance, Zhuo Yang highlighted the main theme of the single voice in the original work, sketched several parallel lines, and ensured that several voices were carried out independently in the criss-cross. Both the high and low voices are long and soothing by the hold, while the middle voice appears to flow naturally. Under the smooth progression of Andante's singing, the harmonic accompaniment is both rich and clear, creating an emotional connotation of reluctance.

Without any suspense, Zhuo Yang entered the final ten-person peak showdown a day later.

White tuxedo, white trousers, white shirt and white leather shoes. The set of outfits specified by Professor Norman made Zhuo Yang feel like a big milk cake. However, this white and black grand piano also complement each other well. In fact, everyone is also monochromatic, all of them are formal tuxedos or formal dresses, men and women have no bells and whistles, and no one will come on stage with a hippie hanging on a chain. In that case, no matter how good you play, Schumann can't play it himself.

Among the ten finalists, the most vocal was the talented beauty Bita Belinska from Ukraine. This woman was born in a family of pianos, and the eight or nine generations of her family are all playing the piano, according to the Chinese saying, this is called 'the second generation of the qin', no, the 'tenth generation of the qin'. Bita Belinska not only plays the piano well, but is already famous in Europe at the age of fourteen or fifteen.

If you want to die or not, not only are they all Ukrainians, Bita Belinska and Ryshakova look a little similar, which makes Zhuo Yang teased a little.

The final repertoire was written by Zhuo Yang, who chose Schumann's Introduction to the Concerto and the Passionate Allegro 92, which Zhuo Yang strongly recommended during his discussion with Professor Norman. Because Zhuo Yang found himself particularly interested in this "Concerto Introduction and Passionate Allegro・92", and this feeling came from the ethereal feeling he felt when he was immersed in the musical mood of two football matches. Zhuo Yang found that when playing "Concerto Introduction and Passionate Allegro・92", he could render part of the wonderful fantasy at that time, so that the music when playing could have a deeper interpretation.

A month ago, after listening to Zhuo Yang's attempted performance, Professor Carl Norman slapped his right hand on his thigh: "That's it!" ”

In the finals, Zhuo Yang, who was black-haired and dressed in white, accompanied by the black and white keys, used his own unique interpretation of the tonality Jiāo between frequent transpositions and deviations, which made the music extremely colorful, and gave the judges a shock and impact in hearing. In expressing functional harmony, Zhuo Yang will also be inspired by Bita Belinska's thoughts about Ryshakova, making the harmony full of color and presenting a subtle state of dissociation. The music continues to change between strength and weakness, and it is just right to express the passionate theme between fast and slow.

Of the final nine judges, five voted for Zhuo Yang to be superior, and four voted for Bita Belinska. The famous pianist Carl Norman did not shy away from his relatives, and he thought that Zhuo Yang played well, and of course, among the five there were his friends and friends of friends.

Zhuo Yang narrowly defeated the talented beauty Pita Belinska and won the gold medal in the piano competition of the 14th Schumann International Music Competition!

In fact, if it weren't for Zhuo Yang who integrated the feelings for Ryshakova evoked by Bita Belinska into the music, thus making the music more sensual and perfect, he might not have won the first place, even if Professor Norman was shameless. I don't know if the beautiful Bita Belinska will cry and faint after knowing this inside detail, so that for the first time in her life, she hates the beauty she is proud of.

Not to mention the pride and happiness of the mentor and friends, nor the shock caused by Cheng Hao's report sent back to China.

After the results of the game came out, Zhuo Yang called home as soon as possible and told the good news to his mother Yang Hong, who had been waiting in front of the phone all night. Yang Hong lost her temper, cried in ecstasy, and then laughed incomprehensibly while crying.

In the Schumann Piano Competition, an event with family heritage, the son surpassed his mother, but Yang Hong did not have the slightest sense of loss, she only had pride and relief. At this moment, she finally released the anxiety brought to her by Zhuo Yang's casual and impetuous personality for seventeen years. In less than a year, his son has made such great achievements in his music career, and Yang Hong has also let go of his worries about the uncertain future of his decision to let Zhuo Yang study alone.

Yang Hong is a tough mother, and she is also a mother who breaks her heart for her children.

Zhuo Yang is a gifted genius, however, his success is inseparable from his mother's encouragement and guidance.

"Mr. Zhuo Yang, what do you think about the relationship between football and music?"

Triumphantly, the group returned to Hanover. Because Zhuo Yang was the first Chinese to win the gold medal at the Schumann International Music Competition, it attracted the attention of the mainstream media in Germany. Last year marked the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Germany, and in order to strengthen exchanges and cooperation between the two countries, 2003 was designated as the 'Sino-German Year of Cultural Exchange' by the two governments. However, because of the SARS relationship, the cultural exchanges between the two countries are thunderous and rainy, and there is no actual action, so there is a greater need for some suitable cultural news materials. Against this backdrop, ZDF invited Zhuo Yang and his mentor Professor Karl Norman for an interview in a makeshift studio in Hannover.

The topic naturally started with the music competition, and then the interaction between the two sides spread to all corners of the cultural proposition. Zhuo Yang, as a player who is already a little famous in Germany, will naturally not ignore this point in the host's homework in advance.

Zhuo Yang believes in these topics, and he will say whatever he wants, and he is not afraid of making mistakes. Anyway, this is a program with official meanings, the host also said hello in advance, and it will definitely be edited in the later stage, and the program as a whole must be rigorous and formal, and it will not be like those small TV stations that are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and they will dig a pit to let the guests say the wrong thing.

Zhuo Yang, who has been used to playing wild balls since he was a child, is a bit crazy, the more people he has, the more energetic he becomes, and there is no occasion that will make him nervous. As a result, Zhuo Yang began to flicker in front of the TV camera.
