Chapter 268: Adams the Courtesan, Postmodern Mozart

Adams, what do you think of tonight's final?"

"Adams, what would you say to Ramore's latest provocative remarks on Twitter?"

"Adams, I heard you changed the final repertoire on the fly, right?"

"Addams..."

...

In front of the Golden Hall, as one of Europe's most famous young pianists, Edgar Adams is a buzz every time he appears in the public eye.

Mention his name,

Hangover at night show.

Scandals with many actresses and young models.

There are even rumors that he is a private addict.

There are many different topics about him.

Rather than a postmodern Mozart, his style is more like that of an upper-class son, and the piano is just a gorgeous pendant on his body.

But if you open his resume.

will shock everyone.

He studied piano at the age of four, and at the age of eight, he studied under Chrysler, the godfather of the German piano.

At the age of twelve, he became the youngest student in the history of the Hannover Conservatory, and in the same year won the Lisztek Piano Competition in Budapera.

Rose to fame on a European scale.

Two years later, he won second prize in the piano category of the 12th Tchaikovsky Music Competition.

In the third year, at the 17th Chopin Steel Piano Competition, he won the silver medal at the age of fifteen.

One after another, it swept all major international competitions.

After Adams was eighteen years old, he stopped competing in various competitions and entered the entertainment industry.

Naturally, it was also a smooth journey, and in less than two years, he became the protagonist of major music events, the darling of advertising media, and a frequent visitor to the Grammys.

The life like an open hanging has also become the idol of many young people.

But.

Under his glamorous and chaotic private life, not many people know that he still maintains more than 6 hours of practice time every day to this day.

Just over two months ago, the International Federation of Musicians announced that it would hold a worldwide Mozart Competition.

Adams was the first to retweet it and said he was going to participate.

At that time, many fans thought that he would be present as a judge.

But a month later, when he announced that he would participate in this competition as a contestant at the end of a solo music, it set off a storm in the circle for a while.

"Adams, who do you think will be your biggest opponent in this final?"

At that moment, Adams, who was surrounded by a group of security personnel, stopped.

A figure crossed his mind.

Turning to the male reporter who asked a question, his blue eyes were full of smiles, "I just want to say that he is an interesting person." ”

With that, he quickly disappeared into the crowd, leaving a string of question marks.

"Can you tell us more about this person?"

"Is it Ramour?"

......

With Adams gone, the crowd dissipated quite a bit, but it was still a bit crowded.

β€œplease。 ”

β€œplease。 ”

Duan Ran carried his cloth bag in his left hand and Qin Jian's dress box in his right hand, walking in front of Qin Jian.

Qin Jian was just a joke just now, but she felt that it made a little sense.

Moreover, after seeing that many contestants had a way to protect the left and the right, she felt that Qin Jian couldn't lose the field.

Although Duan Ran doesn't have their strong physique, she is good-looking.

So along the way, many people still took the initiative to give way to her.

Qin Jian followed behind crying and laughing.

Obviously, the excellent appearance and oriental faces of the two also attracted the attention of many people, and within a few steps, several reporters recognized them at a glance and flocked over.

However, Duan Ran's role as a 'female bodyguard and agent' is really in place, and she is sorry for all the questions that she understands or doesn't understand, sorry, it looks really like it.

Smoothly passing through the crowd, the two entered the arena in advance through the player ID card and came to the splendid lobby.

In front of the main hall of the Golden Hall.

"Don't be nervous, just play it down. ”

Duan Ran took off Qin Jian's watch and put it in his pocket.

Then he took out a thermos cup and two chocolates from the cloth bag and put them in Qin Jian's dress box.

"Drink the water in this cup when you are thirsty, and eat a piece of chocolate if you are hungry. ”

Finally, he handed the dress in his hand to the other party.

"Don't worry, I'll applaud seriously. ”

"Come on. ”

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth raised, and he stretched out his small fist again.

"Come on. ”

Qin Jian smiled and stretched out his fist and hit the opponent's small fist.

"Then I'll go in first. ”

......

Background.

The organizing committee has arranged a separate rest room for each of the finalists who will appear on the stage.

However, the entire corridor is quiet.

Under the leadership of the staff, Qin Jian came to his own rest room.

The piano configured inside is also his designated yamahcfx.

Qin Jian sat down in front of the piano and ran a few sets of scales casually.

"The fingers feel pretty good. ”

After a simple warm-up, he determined the state of his fingers.

"It's just that the nerves aren't too excited. ”

The next second.

"Focus on guidance. ”

"Open!"

The moment it was opened, a coolness suddenly surged into his eyebrows.

Then, his hands shook.

Several sets of powerful chords fall in succession.

The enthusiastic third movement rings the silent corridor.

Then.

It didn't take long for the sound of pianos to be heard from all over the room.

Chopin, Beethoven, Bach, Scarlatti, Brahms, Schubert, Bartoka, from Baroque to Modernism, you name it.

Except for Mozart.

Before the final warm-up of Mozart's group, no one played Mozart.

"What a lovely bunch of shy people. ”

Adams smiled and sat down at the piano and opened the lid gracefully.

Just as he was about to strike the first note of K466, a sharp stream of sound came through the soundproof panel from the next room.

The original enthusiastic third movement is transformed into a gale.

Adams' deep eye sockets were accentuated by the frowning brow, but his right index finger rested less than 1cm above the keys.

"What kind of music is this?"

He swore that there was absolutely no such passage in the Passion Sonata, nor in all of Beethoven's music, nor even in any piano work known to him.

Just as he withdrew his hand, ready to ponder it.

The music stopped suddenly.

But there was an echo in his ears, and his eye sockets sunken deeper.

......

"About 148 to 155 speeds. ”

This speed is almost at its limit, and it can't be any faster.

With the tempo of the second movement of Keqi set in his heart, Qin Jian left the piano.

I sat down on the couch and closed my eyes.

The rest.

It's the last one.

......

Five o'clock.

In the gorgeous hall, thirty sets of lights illuminate the entire stage.

Under the packed audience, fifty judges waited quietly.

Three long beeps rang out.

Applause rang out.

Today's Golden Hall is resplendent in gold.

A dazzling one.
