Chapter 13: Dongei's Strength
Kobayashi Aimi's hand rested on the piano, and instead of playing it immediately, he raised it slightly, letting his fingers fall in an extremely gentle gesture with the gravity.
When, dang, dang, dang, dang......
The sound of the piano sounded in an extremely soft gesture, and everyone's goosebumps instantly welled up.
On the side, the title of the work played by Aimi Kobayashi appears.
Chopin's Etudes, op. 25-11
Folk aka ......
"Winter Wind"!
This is a very simple beginning, and it can even be said that even the kind of person who has just started to play the piano may be able to play this beginning to a level.
However, this is just the beginning, a very simple beginning, and the mood at the beginning does not represent the whole story of this work.
A single note makes up the melody, followed by chords to make up the melody, and that's it.
However, it is precisely because of the simplicity that when this piece is played, it can be better heard and the level of the performer when playing this kind of work.
Are you an ordinary person, or a warrior who is enough to stand on the world stage and challenge all the young pianists in the world to compete for the title of the world's number one Chopin player.
At this moment, Aishi Kobayashi in front of Fu Tiao, is exactly like this!
It's just a very simple opening single note, but the moment she plays, an indescribable feeling instantly swells over Fu Tune's whole body.
He'd felt this way countless times before, in the midst of those other players, but never before, it was so intense!
It's huge, it's magnificent, and it's hard to match.
It's like being on top of the world alone.
At the beginning, there is a trace of warmth, but this trace of warmth is only the warmth of rest, the warmth of baking in the forest hut between the wind and snow.
But you won't indulge in the warmth forever, the rest is only temporary, and when the rest is over, you must start the journey again.
Thus, at the end of the eighth measure, Kobayashi's hand slowly terminated, like a roller coaster parked at the highest point.
Subsequently......
Crash down!
Torrential!
The fierce snow on the snow-capped mountains was raging around everyone.
An incomparably powerful force poured out of Aimi Kobayashi's small body, making it hard to believe why there was such a powerful force in such a small body.
The blizzard frantically attacked the traveler's body, and the surrounding area was white, and only the endless white snow and unyielding flames were left between heaven and earth.
"Beautiful!"
Yu Tianyou, who was on the side, hammered his thigh hard, and his eyes were full of shock.
"Little Amy's performance is really amazing, although there are still a little problems in the emotional foreshadowing, but on the emotional outburst, it is really amazing, the emotion in the music directly detonates everything, so that the music is only left with the music itself,, it's really awesome!"
"Sure enough, Dongying Piano Princess really deserves to be the first person of the younger generation over there, as far as she plays like this today, not to mention the finals, the third round is definitely stable, and it is still stable and transparent, if she doesn't enter the third round, I'll eat Xiang directly!"
Although Yu Tianyou said that his level is relatively average, and his interpretation of many things in music is not particularly in place, but there is one thing to say, his ears are very good, he can hear the details of many players, and even say how many rounds these players can enter.
The point is, he will also observe, he will observe the thoughts of those judges, to guess the general direction of the wind this year, and then rely on this wind direction to correct his own ideas.
Fu Diao didn't say much, he didn't care about Yu Tianyou's evaluation of little Amy, it had nothing to do with him.
What he cares about most now is one thing.
Why is there a sense of unity among that group of people, a feeling of indescribability?
This feeling is especially evident in little Amy.
It seems that the most important thing in this game, beyond the music, is to show this feeling.
But now there's a problem.
He didn't know what it was like, he felt very depressed, which was completely outside his comprehension, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure it out.
In fact, there is another thing that is difficult to say, and that is...... Kobayashi Aishi is almost identical to the work he plays.
The two are in an extremely similar situation, and the gap between the two can be heard even more, or rather...... Distinguish.
Nocturne is actually okay, Fu Tiao thinks that he is not much worse than Kobayashi Aishi, but in this etude, the gap appears.
You even feel that the two people are not playing the same piece at all.
The one that Kobayashi loves to play live is called Winter Wind, so what is the one he plays? East wind?
Fu Tune is not clear at all.
Obviously, the keys are exactly the same, and even the rhythm and speed are exactly the same, and there is not much difference, but the feeling of the two is so different that Fu Tune can't stand it.
I listened to so many versions when I was practicing, and even listened to them more than once, why did I still have such a problem in the end?
Fu didn't know, but he felt that there was a little bit of a problem in his career.
Aimi Kobayashi on the stage was still playing, but Fu Tune didn't have the slightest intention to continue listening.
The stronger Aimi Kobayashi's level of playing, the lower his desire to continue listening.
He had to go back and think about how he was going to play later.
He didn't come to participate in a qualifier and was ready to leave, although Yu Tianyou said on the side that he had a good chance of passing the qualifiers, and even had a chance to enter the second round.
However, he is not aiming for a second round, he wants to win the title.
Whether it's for the rent, to be able to get enough money to continue living, or for the sake of my parents who are far away in China.
He has to win the championship.
Musically, he is definitely not inferior to anyone!
You know, he is known as the first pianist of the five oceans! How could he admit defeat in the second round in such a match?
Later, he didn't have the heart to listen to what Fu tune Kobayashi Aishi played, he waited for Kobayashi Aishi to finish playing on the stage, and immediately got up and retired.
He had to go back and figure out what this piece was all about on his own piano.
Why is my performance so different from those people?
And the key to untangling it all lies in that person.
The one who submitted the invitation to himself before was extremely respected by everyone, and can even be said to be a top pianist who he admired.
Marta Argerich!
