Chapter 275 Scoring
Big game day finally arrived.

Early in the morning, in front of the gate of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Music, there was a great crowd of people. In addition to the local residents, media reporters and music lovers from all over the world poured in in groups.

Wu Di and his father were caught in the crowd, and finally found the registration office.

"Go in and perform well, Dad is waiting for you in the auditorium!" Wu Zhongsheng patted Wu Di on the shoulder with a smile on his face.

Wu Di nodded silently, then turned around, and led by the staff to the entrance of the contestant passage.

There are three concert halls in the Conservatory of Music, namely the Chamber Concert Hall, the Grand Concert Hall, and the Rachmaninoff Concert Hall, all of which are equipped with recording equipment.

Among them, the Chamber Concert Hall is the competition venue for the violin group, the Grand Concert Hall is not only the main concert hall, but also the competition venue for the piano group, and the Rachmaninoff Concert Hall is allocated to the vocal group.

When Wu Di walked into the main concert hall, he was attracted by the huge head of Tchaikovsky on the stage at first sight.

Tchaikovsky only lived to be 53 years old, but judging from the huge head portrait in the hall, Tchaikovsky is obviously much older than his actual age, but of course a great musician cannot judge him by his appearance Achievement, even though he only has the appearance of 53 years old, he obviously has the thoughts and content of 106 years old,
At this time, the auditorium was filled with audience one after another, and the player's seat was separated from the auditorium by a corridor.

The other two concert halls are smaller and can accommodate 200 and 500 people respectively, but the main concert hall is huge and can accommodate 1800 spectators. Because the piano group has the largest audience and is the king of musical instruments, the piano group is It is natural to fall in the main concert hall to hold it.

There are about 20 contestants in the entire contestant booth, and there are many Asians from Southeast Asia, accounting for more than half, but Wu Di is the only Chinese.

According to the number of the contestants, Wu Di heard a warm greeting from his ear as soon as he was seated according to the number: "Hi, my name is Nicole Evelina, and I'm from the United States."

Wu Di turned his head and saw a girl with a black ponytail, yellow skin, and a typical oriental face, smiling at him with her white teeth showing.

He quickly shook hands with the other party: "Hi, my name is Wu Di, and I'm from Huaxia."

"what?"

Nicole said in surprise: "Are you from Huaxia? Coincidentally, I am a Chinese, but unfortunately, I have never been to Huaxia. Can you introduce Huaxia to me?"

Just as Wu Di was about to say something, on the stage, an old man with a white beard walked onto the stage with the help of his assistant.

Then he stretched out his hand and said to everyone, "Quiet."

The whole place was silent.

"He is Dean Philip!" Nicole stuck out her tongue and whispered.

At this time, Philip began to praise the spirit and thought of the Tchaikovsky Academy. After some narration, he began to introduce the judges of the piano group of the competition to everyone present.

These judges are selected from musicians from all over the world, including famous performers, music scholars, professors, conductors and previous winners of the competition. They are responsible for judging the performance of the contestants and selecting the winners.

Among them are two Asian faces, one is Naoki Ando from Japan, and the other is Liao Yuan from China.

When introducing Naoki Ando, ​​Philip's tone was high, and he read out almost all the honors of Naoki Ando's life, but when introducing Liao Yuan, he was very concise: "Liao is a famous pianist in China. Playing level, has its own unique playing concept in piano..."

After introducing the judges, the time came to nine o'clock in the morning.

The game will start in 10 minutes.

At the judging table, Liao Yuan and Ando Naoki were reminiscing about the old days, but there was a faint gap in the conversation, and Liao Yuan certainly knew where this gap appeared.

He looked at the players' seats. Tokugawa Seimei, who had just met at the Hamamatsu Piano Competition in Shizuoka Prefecture not long ago, was staring at him with hatred at this moment.

Liao Yuan smiled lightly.

He had read the information in advance. This time, there were two Japanese players participating in the Tchaikovsky competition, one of them was Seimei Tokugawa, and the other participated in the violin competition.

For many pianists, being able to win more honors at a young age is the accumulation of qualifications, which will play a huge role in the future.

For example, Naoki Ando, ​​because of various reasons such as age, physical strength, spirit and technology, although he is no longer comparable to top pianists, he has won numerous awards throughout his life. Japan's national treasure-level pianist is admired by the world.

Obviously, Tokugawa Seimei also wants to follow the path of Naoki Ando, ​​including Lin Weiyin in China.

Of course, the premise of doing this is that one's own strength is absolutely strong enough, and one can ensure that one can get the top three places in each competition, otherwise, it would only be a joke.

The game starts soon.

There are four rounds in total, which are divided into one round of preliminary rounds and three rounds of rematch. The whole will take three days to complete. Most of the repertoire in several rounds can be selected within a certain range. Only in the final round of performances, the two concertos Must choose a Tchaikovsky piano concerto.

In the first round of the preliminary round, the contestants each play their best repertoire, and the judges will score the winners and losers. One-third of the contestants at the bottom of the points ranking will be eliminated.

In the first round of the rematch, the contestants will choose one of the repertoire lists listed by the organizing committee to perform, and one-third of the contestants at the bottom of the points ranking will be eliminated.

In the second round of the rematch, the contestants will compete by playing Tchaikovsky's Concerto, where two-thirds of the contestants will be eliminated.

In the third round of semi-finals, that is, the final, the top five contestants will be selected to continue playing Tchaikovsky's works, and the judges will score them, and give rankings and bonuses according to the scores.

The competition started, and the contestants came to the stage one by one to perform.

In the first round, the contestants were allowed to play freely. Wu Di played Liszt's "Dream of Love", which was adapted from the work "Love It" by the famous German poet Freiligrat.

Liszt's works have always been known for showing off skills, and this "Dream of Love" is full of affection and tact while showing off skills, perfectly expressing the artistic conception in Freiligrat's poem.

But in fact, Wu Di's interpretation is not perfect. Although he is quite skilled technically, his lack of emotional support is obvious.

If a pianist like Liao Yuan and Lin Weiyin were to perform this piece of music, even with the same timbre, the psychological feeling would be totally different.

"7 points."

After the performance, Ando Naoki played this scoring number.

Other judges also scored one by one, the highest was 8.7, the lowest was 5.4, and the average was around 7.2, which is not bad.

The highest score comes from Liao Yuan, with 8.7 points.

Dean Philip, who has always been sitting at the highest position, showed a disdainful smile at this moment. He said to Peter beside him in Russian: "This is the person you are looking for? His appreciation of music is useless. Like many Chinese people, he is arrogant and arrogant. arrogant."

Peter said awkwardly: "He may have his own opinions."

"opinion?"

An angry look appeared on Philip's face: "Don't be kidding Peter, do you think all the musicians we have here are inferior to this brat?"
