Volume 2 Piano Competition Chapter 132 Shocked the audience
There were four more people who came to him, and Duan Zilian came to the lounge behind the stage
In the lounge backstage, he met Feng Hui.
At this time, Feng Hui was wearing a suit and sitting straight on the chair.
Seeing Duan Zilian coming in, he bowed slightly towards Duan Zilian.
But the contempt and unhappiness in his eyes did not escape Duan Zipian's eyes.
Duan Zipian was silent, nodded at him, and sat on the side, looking at his phone.
Feng Hui glanced at Duan Zilian again, and when he saw that Duan Zilian was actually looking at his phone, he shook his head, looking indisputable, but the contempt in his eyes became even stronger.
The change in his expression still did not escape Duan Zilian's eyes, Duan Zilian raised his eyebrows, and his senses for this person were a little worse.
This kind of person who thinks he is superior is very annoying.
Although she has a good temper, Duan Zilian now feels a little unhappy with this Feng Hui.
He thought that after winning Feng Hui in the game, he must taunt back.
After a while, contestant No. 32 came to the stage to perform.
"Feng Hui, it's your turn." The staff came over to remind him and led Feng Hui, who stood up, into the venue.
Duan Zilian put away her phone, stood up, and followed, stopping at the corner of the stage, ready to watch Feng Hui's performance.
He was a little curious, there was a well-known pianist father at home, what level Feng Hui was now in this living environment.
When he came to the stage, Feng Hui did not immediately introduce himself, but calmly bowed to the judges and the audience.
His posture was indeed elegant, and the audience burst into applause.
The five judges also smiled in unison and nodded at Feng Hui.
After a brief self-introduction, Feng Hui sat down in front of the piano, hung his arms, and danced with his fingers, and a string of soothing and beautiful melodies suddenly floated out of his hands.
Feng Hui played the second Nocturne in Chopin's Nocturne Op9, "Nocturne in E flat major".
This piece is the brightest and most popular of all Chopin's compositions, sounding gentle and beautiful, serene and comfortable, and at the same time full of poetry, depicting the quiet night of nature.
On the stage, Feng Hui danced his fingers, pressing back and forth on the piano keys, his arms rose and fell, his body swayed, and his eyes were slightly closed.
With his handsome face, Duan Zilian also had to admit that the other party was indeed a little handsome, but unfortunately the hair was too long, coupled with his own temperament, it always gave people a gloomy feeling.
Perhaps, Feng Hui felt that he felt good.
"Nocturne in E flat major" is an overall smooth and beautiful piece, the tempo is not fast, but it is also difficult.
After all, a slow tempo doesn't mean it's easy to play, it's a very precise point to grasp the tempo, and if the tempo is too slow, or if the tempo is a little faster, it will feel incongruous.
Therefore, "Nocturne in E flat major" is also a more difficult piece.
A few minutes later, in the gentle and beautiful melody, Feng Hui sped up his playing, causing the tempo of the piece to suddenly become faster.
Although the Nocturne in E flat major is an overall slow piece, in the later short sections, the tempo becomes a little faster.
When the last note is pressed, the song ends.
Feng Hui immediately stood up and bowed gracefully to the audience.
Suddenly, loud applause rang out, and the five judges also smiled and applauded.
After the applause stopped, the judges spoke for the first time.
"Yes, although there are still a little flaws in the fast-paced part of the back, it is rare to be able to play like this."
"Come on, green out of blue, strive to surpass your dad."
"Come to my conservatory from university, I can give you a guaranteed place."
……
Looking at the judges' appreciation of Feng Hui, Duan Zilian admitted that although this Feng Hui is more proud, he has proud capital, and his level is still very good.
When he played this "Nocturne in E flat major", he grasped the rhythm well, and there were almost no mistakes, completely comparing everyone before him.
However, in Duan Zilian's opinion, it's just good.
If it weren't for the car accident when he was ten years old, Duan Zilian estimated that his piano level might be worse than Feng Hui's.
But there are no ifs.
Since the car accident when he was ten years old, Noah has been sleeping in Duan Zilian's body, and the power of light has imperceptibly stimulated Duan Zilian's potential, which has greatly improved Duan Zilian's piano talent, just like cheating.
What's more, Duan Zilian also practiced year after year, day after day.
Therefore, instead of boasting about himself, he thinks that his current piano level is comparable to those famous pianists at home and abroad.
For this reason, he once watched the performance videos of famous pianists at home and abroad on the Internet, and after careful comparison, he came to such a conclusion.
Therefore, in Duan Zilian's opinion, although Feng Hui's piano level is good, that's all.
If there is no Duan Zilian, the first place must be Feng Hui's.
And now, there is no way, who let Feng Hui meet his own coercion, Duan Zipian couldn't help but mourn for him for a second in his heart.
……
On the stage, in the face of the praise of the five judges, Feng Hui thanked the three judges one by one, and then entered the lounge backstage.
He passed by Duan Zilian's side and smiled at Duan Zilian: "It's going to be you later, don't be nervous." ”
Duan Zilian noticed the smugness and show-off in Feng Hui's eyes, but he didn't care, just responded simply.
At the same time, another student in the lounge came to the stage, he was the thirty-three, and when he was over, he didn't get to the joke.
This student played a song "Dream Bird", to be honest, he played it quite well, but compared with Feng Hui, it was far behind.
The five judges in the audience were expressionless, and after hearing a good tune, now listening to this kind of song with no bright spots, there is a big gap in their hearts.
It's like eating a delicious cake and then eating the usual bread, and it's no wonder that you don't dislike it.
At the end of the song, the student bowed and then stepped off the stage amid applause.
Knowing that he was on the stage, Duan Zilian exhaled softly, adjusted his state, and stepped onto the stage.
was not as sassy as Feng Hui, after bowing and introducing himself, Duan Zilian sat quietly in front of the piano and began to play.
He was thirty-three, and there were four people behind him, but after such a long time, the judges were basically already aesthetically fatigued, and they didn't have any expectations for the rest of the people, and they were already out of the world, thinking about what to eat after the competition.
But in the next second, the food image in their minds was immediately shattered by a beautiful melody.
Just the first few notes, it has already revealed a good level.
The five judges came back to their senses, looked at each other in astonishment, looked at Duan Zilian on the stage, their expressions gradually became solemn, and they became more and more surprised, and even, after feeling the quiet and elegant temperament of Duan Zilian, they had a feeling of brightness.
Duan Zilian's waist was straight, and his upper arms did not shake, only his forearms, moving back and forth on the keys.
A beautiful melody wafted from his fingers.
The piece played by Duan Zilian is Liszt's "Bell", also known as "Spring Water", which is a world-famous song, and it is also a very difficult song.
At the beginning of the piece, after a concise prelude, the "bell theme" soon appears in the high/high frequency range, where the crisp and melodious timbre of the high register and the overtone articulation combine to form a short and powerful sound, forming a series of vivid and realistic bell ringings.
The following theme continues with the timbre characteristics of the piano's high register, playing bells with different rhythms.
Finally, the music uses the genre characteristics of dance music and ends in a warm and cheerful atmosphere of singing and dancing.
Although this piece is only about four minutes long, the melody is beautiful and beautiful, but it requires the player to have very high piano skills, and it also has a very high demand for hand speed, and the fingers dance quickly on the keys, which has a very obvious show-off effect.
In just four minutes of performance, the performer has to constantly appear in the round (alternate left and right hand playing), rapid octaves, and "long interval beating staccato rhythms", among which the most difficult passage is to imitate the bell by jumping 4 octaves with one hand, and use variations to bring out the gorgeous playing technique and the effect of the bell vividly.
Therefore, the difficulty of this piece is very high, and there are roughly six difficult points in total, the right hand jumps over long distances, the repetition of the same tone, the simultaneous playing of the melody and vibrato with one hand, the running of fast clusters, the alternating playing of fast chromatic scales with both hands, and the simultaneous progression of octaves with both hands.
With so many difficulties, even some famous pianists have a hard time mastering this piece.
And the five judges really didn't expect that among the participating students this time, someone would actually play this tune.
Moreover, it still plays so well!
In the amazement, the judges couldn't help but savor it, looking at Duan Zilian's slender ten fingers that kept flying on the keys, and their hearts were becoming more and more shocked.
Gradually, at the end, the music reaches the highest elimination/climax of the mood, and the whole section is very passionate and brilliant.
Finally, in a full, firm, deep and loud melody, Duan Zilian ended playing.
Exhaling softly, Duan Zilian did not get up immediately, but adjusted his emotions.
In order to play this piece perfectly, Duan Zilian's emotions will change with the change of rhythm during the performance, and in the future, Duan Zilian's emotions will also be excited.
After all, only by perfectly integrating one's own emotions into the song can the song give it a soul, otherwise, it is just an empty appearance.
