Chapter 254 The Real Pianist
"Hey August, can you drive faster?"

A sightseeing car was driving rapidly on the road by the Danube River. The driver was August Wilde, director of the Vienna Music Association. He was responsible for inviting Liao Yuan to participate in the Asian concert held in the Golden Hall.

At this time, hearing that Liao Yuan was coming to Vienna again, he hurried over immediately.

Beside him, who was constantly urging Wilde to speed up, was a man wearing a gentleman's hat and a British-style vest. He was about five or sixty years old and had a black and white goatee.

His name is Peter Leighton, and he belongs to an organization called the International Piano Competition Federation.

With the mushrooming of international music competitions in the 20th century, a non-profit international organization called "World Federation of International Music Competitions", also known as the Geneva Competition League, began to emerge.

In the middle of the last century, the Union was established in Geneva, Sweden, and is affiliated to UNESCO. It enjoys the reputation of the "Olympic Committee" in the music industry internationally.

There are 127 competitions under the name of the alliance, such as "Liszt International Piano Competition", "Verdi International Vocal Competition", "Queen Elizabeth International Music Competition", "Queen Songya International Vocal Competition", etc., including piano, violin, Vocal music and many other categories.

Of course, the top piano competition among them is naturally the "Chopin International Piano Competition".

"Chopin International Piano Competition" is one of the three major classical music competitions in the world. It is held every five years. Lin Weiyin, a well-known Chinese pianist, once won the No.1 "Chopin International Piano Competition" and became famous all over the world.

The other two music competitions are the "Queen Elizabeth Music Competition" and the "Tchaikovsky Competition".

"August, do you think Liao will agree to participate in the Tchaikovsky Competition?"

On the fast-moving sightseeing car, Peter Layton pressed the gentleman hat on his head and asked excitedly: "Since the One Emperor and Four Emperors Contest and the Asian American Concert, his fame has been well-known in the world music circle, so let him participate in it." Isn't the game a bit too much?"

"Not too much, a talented pianist should challenge all piano competitions and win all awards."

Wilde said with a chuckle: "If the Chopin International Competition is not held every five years, I really want those pianists who claim to be geniuses to see what is the real absolute crush."

"You are right. If Liao wants to become a top pianist, he should prove himself with practical actions! Haha, if you can invite Liao Yuan to participate in the Tchaikovsky Competition, it will definitely attract the attention of musicians all over the world .”

The more they talked, the more excited they were, and they soon came to the golden hall.

Wilde quickly got out of the carriage, took out his pass, and led Peter into the hall, but the footsteps suddenly subconsciously lowered.

The eyes of the two radiated away, and they saw Liao Yuan sitting in front of the piano on the stage, playing with four hands.

There were hundreds of people in the entire music hall, but at this moment there was no sound, and a needle could be heard.

The jingle sound of the piano, the tune of one part, is chasing another part from the beginning to the end, until the last summary, the last chord.

At that moment, they seemed to be fused together and never separated.

This lingering music is like two people following each other through life and death...

The richness of emotion moves the listener and makes the listener shed tears.

At this time, Wilde and Peter stopped in the middle corridor of the seats.

The two looked at each other, terrified.

"Canon" style four-hand play?

This kind of deductive method that focuses on counterpoint and arrangement, like nature and mathematical formulas, is undoubtedly "Canon".

But in the history of the world's music scene, there are certainly some who can perform piano duets.

But "Canon" played by one person with four hands on one piano seems to have never been heard.

Shouldn't exist either...

"I think it was a beautiful mistake for you to invite Liao to participate in the Tchaikovsky Competition." Wilde suddenly said seriously.

Peter swallowed, and his goatee trembled slightly: "I think you are right, he is not a contestant, he should be a judge. No one dares to comment on such skills."

"He is much more mature than half a year ago, and his emotional sculpture is unparalleled."

Wilde sighed: "When I first listened to "The Immortal Movement", it was a visual shock. After all, it was absolutely fast, and the fullness of emotion was slightly inferior. , is definitely a master class."

Peter took a deep breath: "Yes, he is more mature than in the video. He has grown up too fast. There may not be a master like this in 100 years. In the entire international piano industry, Liao's talent ranks among the top three."

At this time, Liao Yuan had also finished playing.

Director Bruschi wiped his loose hair, stood up, and said with a smile, "Liao, you are the most powerful pianist I have ever seen, bar none."

"well enough."

Liao Yuan moved his fingers, and said with unsatisfactory meaning: "Has it passed?"

"It's over, it's over!"

Bruschi hurriedly said: "It's just a MV, just take a scene. If it's not for Huaxing's excellence, you must ask for on-site shooting, and I don't bother you to come. After all, our company can also directly cut out pictures and do post-production...

Liao Yuan smiled and said, "Mr. Brusch, it's better to be serious, please."

Bruce nodded and said, "That's natural. This song will be sung by Demi Wheeler, the queen of American music. She is one of the most popular singers in the West."

At this moment, the filming ended. In the auditorium, dozens of people approached the stage one after another. One of the blond girls shouted to Liao Yuan from the audience: "Hi, Mr. Liao, can you sign me? My grandma is you A loyal fan of yours, she is sick, if she knows you are in Austria, she will definitely come to watch your performance."

Bruschi raised his brows, and was about to reprimand him, when he saw Liao Yuan suddenly bent down, took the notebook and pen from the blond girl under the stage, then half-kneeled on the floor, and gently asked the girl, "What's your name?"

"My name is Winnie Betty, you can call me Winnie!" The blond girl was pleasantly surprised.

When Liao Yuan heard this, he wrote a paragraph on the title page of the notebook, "I wish Winnie's grandma a speedy recovery, stay away from illness, and stay healthy forever."

The inscription is "Liao", and my Chinese name.

The blond girl looked at Liao Yuan who was kneeling on the floor to sign, and her heart throbbed.

After Liao Yuan finished signing, she took the notebook, looked at the blessing, suddenly covered her mouth, moved to tears, and bowed to Liao Yuan: "Thank you!"

The audience burst into thunderous applause, which lasted for a long time.

In the distance, Wilde watched this scene: "He is a real pianist."

"Yes, a real pianist." Peter said slowly.
