Three hours later, Duan Ran had been coaxed to sleep by Qin Jian.

He was already a little tired, but he had to wait for He Jing's results.

At a quarter past twelve o'clock in the morning Bergen time, Qin Jian finally received the news from He Jingde.

Sister: It's over

Let it go: how

Sister: The reaction from the audience is not bad, and I think it's okay

Let it go: then OK!

Sister: Well, it's finally over, and you can plan your vacation

Let it go: Sister, are you going back to China during the holidays?

...

The two sisters and brothers were chatting about relaxed topics one by one, but at this time, the competition continued on the stage of the New York Philharmonic Concert Hall.

A Mozart K271 from the University of Frankfurt did not seem to cause much repercussions, and after his repertoire, there were people in the audience discussing the previous player's performance of Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 2.

He Jing's name is unfamiliar to most viewers today, and even among all the finalists, she should be the most transparent.

But just now a Pu Er made everyone remember her.

Even if someone still can't remember her name, when they see her again, someone will say, 'Hey, the girl in the red dress who played Prokofiev.'" ’

The amazing performer and the amazing Concerto No. 2 brought the scene of the competition just now into a big climax, so the Frankfurt kid after the climax was indeed a little unlucky, just in time for the fatigue period after the excitement of the scene, and his Mozart did not have much to impress.

After the Frankfurt kid was off the field, the host's voice sounded again.

When the name 'rachel' sounded, the audience burst into cheers.

Ricky.

The proud daughter of the piano department of the Juilliard Conservatory of Music, and also the 'Matilda' of the purple pupil in Qin Jian's mouth. ’

From the atmosphere of the scene, it can be seen that she should have a lot of fans.

Moment.

She walked to the piano and sat down, and the scene fell silent.

She was the first to bring Chopin to the final, and she performed Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 1.

Piano Concerto in E minor.

It was one of the pieces that was chosen by 90 percent of the contestants in Chopin's final selection.

When the orchestra prelude sounded, there was already speculation that Rickie would have chosen this piece for the final of this year's Chopin Competition.

But the answer to this question will only be revealed in the future.

After Richie's performance, the audience applauded, this applause did not overturn the stage, but gave the next contestant enough psychological pressure.

The next Fang Zongyao, who was about to appear, was under a lot of pressure at this time, he listened to Ricky all the time, and the repertoire he prepared was also Chopin's First Steel Association.

...

...

At 3 a.m. Bergen time, the game in New York was over.

After learning that the results of the competition were only announced in four days, Qin Jian was a little speechless.

After exchanging goodnight with He Jing, he hurried to sleep.

...

For the next three days, Qin Jian spent every day in love with Little Brown, and under the guidance of the old bartender for several days, he had almost found a way to get along with Little Brown.

"For a male virtuoso, every clavichord is a woman with a unique charm, and when you understand her needs, you just have to do what she expects, and she will give you everything you want. - Old Norwegian bartender

After removing all modern, secular, and labeled performance formats, Qin Jian also found his voice as he wished.

It was a very unique sound, retro and clean, without a hint of muddy clarity.

On the evening of the third day, Qin Jian invited Liao Linjun, the old bartender, and the old Assad to listen to all three movements of his bandless version of K491.

After the performance, the three of them gave unanimous praise, especially the old bartender patted Qin Jian's shoulder with great relief.

"Well done, Jian. “

In order to celebrate the success of the second phase, Qin Jian stayed with a few people that night and came to the town's lounge, which was the first time he came to the town's lounge after living in the town.

The only regret was that he didn't see Ido all day.

Later in the evening, the elder Assad told everyone that Ido had not been in good shape in the past two days after drinking a lot of alcohol.

After Liao Linjun and the old bartender heard this, there was a little sigh in their expressions, obviously what they had experienced.

Although Qin Jian could associate something from a certain scene in the bathroom, he didn't know the whole incident at all.

For example, how did Ido become like this, he really couldn't believe that a person could be born like this.

After some narration by old Assad, Qin Jian knew the truth of the facts.

The story is simple and not complicated.

Originally, Ido was a cheerful and sunny boy, like Qin Jian, he loved music, and showed a talent far beyond his peers in piano playing since he was a child.

The relationship between the two is like that of Natsuki and Nobuyuki Tokai.

Edo's family background is not bad in the local area, born in an intellectual family, and has a lovely little sister.

Just an air raid, everything changed.

When the elder Assad recalled this episode, there was still cheerful folk dance music playing in the lounge.

He recalled, "It was about four o'clock in the afternoon, I was in class, and then I heard the horn siren in the center of the city, and the students panicked, and then there was a series of explosions, and the whole classroom was shaking violently, and the students ran frantically to the door, and I was about to let everyone stay where they were, and there was another series of explosions, and I don't remember the rest of the story." ”

"When I woke up, I was already in a nearby hospital, and when I learned that the worst damaged area was near Ido, I rushed out of the ward, but I walked all the way around the street and couldn't find Ido's house, which was already in ruins. ”

Old Assad's face was very calm when he spoke, but at that moment, Qin Jian felt the sadness and helplessness under this calm.

"I was crazy and trying to find the living in the ruins. ”

"In the evening I found Edo at another nearby hospital, who had just had an amputation and was the only one left in the family. ”

After that time, he became what he is today, crazy talking, silent, like a mental patient, except when he played the piano like a normal youth. ”

"For the last two days, he has been hiding under the bed and not coming out. ”

The story is simple and not complicated.

It was not much different from Qin Jian's imagination, but when he really heard all this, he was still silent.

That night, he and the old bartender drank a lot of wine with the old Assad.

When he left the lounge in the evening, Qin Jian learned that the old Assad was a believer, and the old bartender said that he never drank alcohol in college.

Day 4.

That is, today.

When Qin Jian woke up in the morning, he was still thinking about the words of old Assad last night, thinking about how he could help Ido, but after he left the hut and heard the sound of the piano coming from the west, he put down his snack again.

It is Edo's Etude of the Winter Wind.

"It's still a little worse than Duan Ran, but it's a lot better than me. ”

In a slightly better mood, Qin Jian came to the piano room to prepare for a new day of practice.

Before warming up, he sent two messages to Duan Ran.

Let it go: I'm going to enter the third phase of my attempt today

Let it go: refueling for the exam for a while!!
