Soon, the time reached half past nine, the host came to the stage, and then said the opening ceremony, the opening ceremony and the leader's speech for ten minutes, and then the judges came to the stage.

Svetlana Voronova - Hairy Bear, third prize at the 2006 Chopin International Piano Competition

There are a total of fifteen judges, almost all of whom are big names with great influence in the music and piano industry, and of course, a few people are mixed in by connections.

After the introduction of the judges, the competition officially began. The Chopin International Piano Competition is divided into two rounds, the first round is to select one of Chopin's repertoire to perform, such as the Ballade in G minor, Op. 23, Waltz in A flat major, Op. 34, No. 1 or Smooth Andante and Polonaise in E flat major, Op. 22, etc.

In the second round, contestants can play any piece of music, and if it is an original piece, they can add points appropriately.

The judges then scored the two rounds of the competition, then ranked them based on the overall score, and finally selected 10 people from nearly 100 people to go to Warsaw to compete with the best pianists from all over the world to compete for the championship.

Soon, the first contestant took the stage, a student from the Kawasin Academy, who chose a waltz in F major, Op. 34, No. 3.

Soon, the performance began, the pleasant piano sound flowed out like flowing water, Lin Yi was also listening carefully in the background, a few minutes passed, and the last note fell,

After the thunderous applause, the judges began to score, this time the score is 10 points, after the judges' scorecard is over, the staff collects the scorecard and sends it to the background for calculation.

Then the second contestant takes the field. After the second contestant's performance, the host began to announce the score of the first contestant, removing a maximum score of 9.6 points, removing a minimum score of 8.8 points, and the average score of the first contestant was 9.3 points.

The score of 9.3 is already a very high score in the previous Chopin International Competitions in the Great Summer Division, and the first contestant jumped up happily when he learned his score in the first round, and the fellow Sichuan Yin players also hugged him and congratulated him.

However, the pressure on the contestants from other colleges and provinces has increased sharply, and the first contestant has played so well, and the pressure on the people behind them has increased.

With the passage of time, one by one the contestants came on the field, and the judges scored, during which Gong Chen and Du Qiu and others also played, Gong Chen's score reached a terrifying 9.7 points, and Du Qiu and others were not professional pianos, but they also scored more than 9.2.

As soon as Gong Chen's score came out, it immediately caused a sensation,

"This is the talented Gongchen of the Modu Conservatory of Music, with a high score of 9.7, as long as there is no accident in the second round, the favorite to compete for the championship properly!"

"Yes! Gong Chen has already entered the top three in the Sydney Youth International Piano Competition and won the third place! In China, it has won a number of piano championship titles, and many well-known pianists have commented that it is likely to be the second Lang Lang of Daxia! ”

"This time, Gong Chen is fighting for one!"

"Actually, among our young generation in Daxia, there are still many talented pianists! For example, Gong Chen, and Lin Yi from the Imperial Capital Conservatory of Music! ”

“.”

At this time, in the audience, the leading teacher of the Modu Conservatory of Music was already smiling from ear to ear, and at the same time, almost everyone in the waiting room gathered around Gong Chen to congratulate Gong Chen.

But Gong Chen just smiled faintly, his eyes swept around the waiting room, and after not finding Lin Yi's figure, the excitement in his heart suddenly faded a lot.

After Gong Chen, there were seven or eight people at an interval to Lin Yi, Lin Yi's number plate was 56, which was exactly in the middle position, and it was also the number plate close to the end of the first half.

When there were only three people left, Lin Yi left the lounge and came to the waiting room.

When they saw Lin Yi, Gong Chen, Du Qiu and others hurriedly surrounded them to say hello, and after learning Lin Yi's identity, people from other colleges and provinces also surrounded him.

Time passed quickly, and the last person in front of Lin Yi finished playing, bowed and left.

The host came to the stage to announce the score of the previous contestant, and then read according to the list: "Next, we welcome the No. 56 contestant Lin Yi to appear!" ”

The host's words fell, and Lin Yi stood up.

"Lin Yi, come on!"

"Come on, Lin Yi!"

“.” Gong Chen, Du Qiu and others opened their mouths to cheer for Lin Yi, Lin Yi smiled and nodded, and then walked onto the bandstand.

When they saw Lin Yi on stage, the audience and the judges were all bright-eyed, and their curious eyes fell on Lin Yi.

Anton and Svetlana from the Hairy Bear Country had a hint of essence in their eyes, and their faces were full of curiosity, after all, they had already heard about Lin Yi, who could be praised by Professor Harmon of the Curtis Institute of Music as the illegitimate son of God.

Liu Lin's eyes fell on Lin Yi's body, and his face was not very good-looking.

Because the host's introduction to Lin Yi just now did not introduce Lin Yi from the Imperial Capital Conservatory of Music, that is to say, Lin Yi participated in the competition in his personal name, in this way, even if Lin Yi won the championship of the Great Summer Division or even the World Chopin International Piano Competition, all the honors have nothing to do with the Imperial Conservatory of Music.

This is a great opportunity to swipe a wave of prestige! She just missed it

Liu Lin's heart was full of regret.

At this time, Lin Yi had already come to the bandstand, he walked to the center of the bandstand, and then bowed slightly towards the judges' seat and the audience, and his eyes finally fell on Yan Yu and others in front of the audience.

Yan Yu clenched his fists and waved it fiercely, with an encouraging smile on his face, and shouted in his heart: "Come on, husband~~"

When Lin Yi looked over, Rong Hong and the others also hurriedly waved in response, Lin Yi nodded with a faint smile, and then walked to the piano and sat down slowly.

His repertoire of choice is Waltz in F major, Op. 34, No. 3.

Lin Yi sat in front of the piano, slowly closed his eyes to adjust his state, and the entire National Center for the Performing Arts was silent, and everyone remained silent.

Yan Yu couldn't help but clench Chu Yue's hand, although she was very confident in Lin Yi, she couldn't help but be a little nervous at this moment.
