Volume 2 Piano Competition Chapter 293 "Dawn and Dawn"
In the concert hall, after the last person in front of him got off the stage, Duan Zilian took a deep breath, and in a nervous mood, silently endured the pain on his body, got up from his seat, and walked onto the stage.
When Duan Zilian walked on the stage, several judges were whispering in the judges' seats under the stage.
"The next player should be that joke, right?"
"Well, on the list list, it's his turn next."
"I've been waiting for so long, it's finally him, so let's look forward to his performance."
"I'm quite optimistic about him, he really plays the piano very well. He played "Bell" in the preliminary and second rounds, as well as the song "Wild Bee Flying", I listened to it several times, and I could hardly find any flaws. ”
"Yes, among all the contestants in this final, I am most optimistic about him, he is young, he has such a superb level, when others are still practicing their skills, he has been able to integrate his feelings into the song, I really don't know how he practiced."
"This may be the so-called genius, even if it is compared with us, his level is not far behind, this is really the back wave of the Yangtze River pushing the front wave."
"Okay, don't talk yet, he's about to go on stage."
The judges ended their private communication, looked at the entrance of the stage expectantly, and waited for Duan Zilian to appear.
When they saw Duan Zilian's figure, they even took the initiative to applaud, causing the audience and others in the hall to applaud as well.
In a burst of applause, Duan Zilian stood on the stage, bowed to the camera, the judges and the audience, and made a simple self-introduction, which was nothing more than saying his name, which city he came from, and which high school.
When introducing himself, he deliberately looked at the camera lens a few more times, and he was worried, wondering if Li Shuning would wake up and see his performance in the hospital.
Sighing slightly in his heart, Duan Zilian hid the emotions in his heart, and after introducing himself, with a burst of physical pain, he sat calmly in front of the piano.
In the silent atmosphere, Duan Zilian took a deep breath, pondered for a while, and then put his hands on the black and white keys and began to play.
Suddenly, notes leapt out of his hands, forming a slow, sad melody that echoes in the silent concert hall.
It hurts, it hurts, it feels like I'm going to lose consciousness all over my body......
However, after starting to play, Duan Zilian only had this one feeling, and every time he moved, he would affect the injuries on his body, which caused a burst of extremely intense pain, even to the extent of heartache, making him feel the urge to stop immediately.
However, the performance had already begun, and he couldn't stop, so he could only grit his teeth, silently endure the heart-rending pain, and concentrate all his attention on the current performance, so as not to let the severe pain affect his performance.
Go on...... It's all already started, and we must not give up...... Li Shuning can't be disappointed...... It's just a little pain, endure it and get over, as long as you don't pay attention to the physical pain, you will definitely be able to persevere to the end......
With this belief, Duan Zilian continued to play, trying to make himself look natural and not let others see any clues.
As the performance continued, he gradually seemed to forget the pain on his body and immersed himself in the performance.
At the same time, listening to the melody wafting from under Duan Zilian's hands, several judges in the audience were surprised for a while, and couldn't help but look at each other, and they could see the puzzled expressions on each other's faces.
Because, with their experience, they didn't hear what kind of tune Duan Zilian was playing now.
Generally speaking, in this level of competition, the contestants play those well-known piano pieces in ancient and modern times.
And now, as judges, after thinking about it for a while, they didn't even hear what tune Duan Zilian was playing, which made them very surprised.
Could it be that this is a song he created himself?
As soon as this idea came out, the judges were surprised, judging from the melody, this should be a pretty good song.
Although surprised, the judges did not make a sound to disturb, quietly appreciating this song that they had never heard before, and savoring the artistic conception in it.
Judging from this sad melody, the style of this piece is very obvious, and the current rhythm is relatively slow, so Duan Zilian does not show any show-off skills.
Quietly listening to the melody that seemed to be getting sadter and sadter, the judges and the audience gradually fell silent in the artistic conception of this piece, as if they saw a story hidden in the melody.
A young girl was lying in a hospital bed, seriously ill, and was about to die.
No matter who you are, in the face of this situation, you will feel hurt and reluctant in your heart.
Therefore, the tempo of the song is relatively slow, which is more suitable for expressing a sad atmosphere.
But in the middle, the tempo of the song becomes faster, and it seems to contain a mood of impatience.
And as the rhythm of the song changes, the story before the judges and the audience continues to unfold.
Seeing her life coming to an end day by day, the girl became more and more painful and restless.
Because of her illness, her friends left her one after another.
Not only did she have to endure the torture of illness, but also the unimaginable loneliness, so she angrily denounced the injustice of fate, resented those friends who left her one by one, and finally even gave up on herself, closed her heart, and fell into the quagmire of darkness.
Therefore, in order to highlight the girl's inner mood changes in this part, the tempo of the song is not only faster, but also rapid, revealing impatience, loneliness, anger and despair in addition to further pain.
When playing this section, Duan Zilian's fingers moved quickly on the keys, and he also used some dazzling techniques, fast and urgent, giving people a dazzling feeling, and even making people feel nervous and worried.
After that, the rhythm of the song slowly became calmer, and the emotions such as anger and resentment just now gradually disappeared, although it was still sad as the main theme, but compared with before, the sad atmosphere was much less, but revealed a bit of open-mindedness and lightness.
Everyone felt peaceful and comfortable at this time.
At the same time, the story in the song has also come to an end.
When the girl gave up on herself, a light suddenly broke into the girl's inner world, dispelled the darkness in the girl's heart, pulled her out of the darkness, and let her usher in the dawn of dawn.
Under the illumination of the light, the unwillingness, anger and resentment in the girl's heart seemed to have been washed, and all disappeared, as if the whole person had been sublimated.
Although there was still sadness and reluctance, the girl had seen it openly, accepted her fate calmly, had hope, and, in the end, embraced the light.
As the story ends, the music stops and gradually begins to dissipate.
It's finally over, but Duan Zilian is still immersed in the story of the song, and for a while, he can't immediately come out of it.
Although he has practiced this piece many times, every time he plays it seriously and immerses himself in the story contained in this piece, he will be deeply touched and touch his heartstrings.
He knew that this piece was created by Li Shuning based on his own personal experience, so there was such a story.
After a long while, Duan Zilian slowly came back to his senses, couldn't help but exhale, raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and adjusted his emotions.
At the same time, a strong sharp pain suddenly poured into his mind, making Duan Zilian almost couldn't help but scream, and his body trembled uncontrollably a few times.
From an unseen angle, he clenched his fists hard, gritted his teeth, and endured the incomparably intense pain, trying not to show himself anything unusual.
At this time, although the music has dissipated for a long time, most of the judges and the audience are still immersed in the sad story and cannot extricate themselves.
Even, some female listeners are secretly wiping their tears.
"Good!"
Immediately afterwards, the judges were the first to react, and they all applauded and applauded.
Driven by the judges, the audience also applauded.
Suddenly, the applause was thunderous.
Seeing this situation, Duan Zipian endured the pain, stood up, pretended to be calm, bowed to the audience, and then prepared to walk off the stage.
Otherwise, he would really be in too much pain to bear.
But just then, one of the judges stopped him.
"This classmate, wait a minute, I have a question for you."
"Excuse me." As a last resort, Duan Zilian could only stand on the stage for a while longer.
The host hurriedly ran out and handed a microphone to Duan Zilian.
The judge also held the microphone and asked Duan Zilian: "Your performance just now is very good, whether it is the grasp of the rhythm or your skills, you have performed very well, especially in the expression of emotions, it is simply impeccable, even people like me, who have seen strong winds and waves, have been moved." But I have a question, I haven't heard your tune, is that tune my own? Or ......"
Duan Zilian nodded: "Well, it's self-created, but it's not me, it's a friend of mine." ”
"Well, that's a pretty good song." The judge nodded approvingly.
Although the piece played by Duan Zilian has a sad story, the story is still relatively simple, in general, it is the psychological change of a seriously ill person, and the overall rhythm is slow.
However, simplicity is not rough, slowness can reflect the charm of it, and the performance of Duan Zilian makes the story in the song full of vitality, which can make so many audiences in the venue empathize with and touch.
"Thank you, teacher." Seeing that the judges praised Li Shuning's song, Duan Zilian immediately bowed happily.
If Li Shuning could see this scene on TV, she would definitely be very happy......
"Can you ask the name of this piece?"
"'Dawn of Dawn,' that's the name of the piece."
