Chapter 278 Finals
The competition on the second day of the Tchaikovsky Contest officially started amidst the much-anticipated competition.

The media and social networking sites around the world carried out real-time broadcasts. Because "Schindler's List" caused a huge response on Twitter and other social networks, this directly caused the audience in the violin group to be almost overcrowded. However, the rules of the competition on the second day were different from yesterday. Perform according to the repertoire listed by the organizing committee.

But even so, Pei Hongyu's performance was still one of the best in the whole group. A piece of Mozart's "Symphony No. 40 in G Minor", played in the form of violin, caused thunderous applause from the audience.

But compared with yesterday's performance, it was not as amazing as people expected, so the final average score was only 8.5 points, but they still advanced smoothly.

On the other side, the competition for the piano group also officially started.

Among the ten classical piano pieces listed by the judging group, Wu Di chose "The Blue Danube" by Johann Strauss, the father of the waltz, and won praise from the on-site judges for its excellent rhythm.

Liao Yuan once again gave a high score of 8.8.

But the media reporters, audience and judges present were numb to this and did not feel too much surprise.

After all, Liao Yuan never scored low in the performances of Nicole, Tokugawa Seimei and others.

Soon, the second day's competition ended. On this day, one-third of the contestants were eliminated again, and only twelve contestants made it through, including Nicole, Seimei Tokugawa, and Wu Di from China.

In tomorrow's competition, nearly two-thirds of the players will be eliminated, and only five will be able to advance.

The atmosphere became more and more tense.

The competition on the third day is the second round of the rematch, and the contestants will compete against each other by playing Tchaikovsky's concerto.

At this point, the test is the players' understanding of the Tchaikovsky Competition.

This afternoon, after the competition, in order to let Pei Hongyu relax, Liao Yuan took her around the Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Music, let her experience the style of the Tchai Academy, and at the same time told Pei Hongyu some of his ideas and ideas. idea.

"Our time needs classical music more than ever."

Liao Yuan sat on the lawn of the campus: "The tranquility and far-reaching contained in classical music create a kind of illusory world that does not exist in real life, which is enough to give modern people a moment of respite from competition, bustle, exhaustion and anxiety all day long."

After speaking, he looked at Pei Hongyu: "Why do you like classical music?"

Pei Hongyu hesitated for a moment, and said: "I feel that classical music is very beautiful. What it expresses is the kind of sublime, majestic, majestic and majestic beauty, which is very rare in pop music."

Liao Yuan smiled slightly: "Yes, this kind of sublime and spiritual beauty can only be found in classical music nowadays. If there is no adjustment of classical music, life will be much harder."

"What is your dream?" he asked again.

Pei Hongyu seemed a little nervous. She took off a green leaf, kneaded it gently, and said after a while: "I have been learning the piano since I was five years old. I have seen countless masters perform, and I have been pursuing the life in the sound of the piano, the pursuit of the so-called Human and piano are one. Until that day, I met a so-called master. She told me that the purpose of learning piano is just to score points in the college entrance examination, and there is no need to invest too much energy and emotion. Since then, I have been confused. University was spent in a muddle, but now I am sober, I want to be a great musician like you, boss."

Liao Yuan was taken aback: "Do you think I'm great?"

"Yes, because of you, more and more people like classical music, and now children learning piano throughout the country follow you as an example, even your works are in textbooks, you will be famous in the future, even now , You are also admired by people everywhere when you are abroad."

Pei Hongyu said seriously: "I think this is a great achievement for a musician, and it should also be the meaning of our existence."

Liao Yuan smiled and changed the subject: "Are you sure about tomorrow?"

"Yes, I think I should be able to advance." Pei Hongyu said firmly.

Liao Yuan stood up, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "If you get No.1, I will fulfill my promise and help you arrange the new album and concert as soon as possible. Good luck."

"Thank you."

Pei Hongyu bowed to Liao Yuan's passing back and said, "I will not let you down."

……

On the third day of the competition, after two days of competition, everyone felt a sense of tension.

Because today, it will be decided whether each competition group can return home triumphantly.

After today, each group will select the top five and advance to the final. In the final, no matter the winner or loser, these five players will receive medals, competition certificates and some bonuses respectively.

Wu Di was sitting on the player's bench, with sweat dripping from his palms.

After two days of elimination, there were only twelve players left, and after today, there were only five remaining places.

This is a moment of life and death.

There was no laughter in the entire player bench.

Every contestant showed a solemn look on his face. Even Nicole, who was lively and cheerful before, just stared at her fingertips silently at this moment, not knowing what she was thinking.

Finally, the game began, and Tokugawa Seimei was the first to appear.

The judges gave two piano pieces by Tchaikovsky for Seimei Tokugawa to choose, one is the famous "Piano Concerto No. [-] in B-flat Minor" and the other is "June Boat Song".

One is a concerto and the other is a solo. It is undoubtedly a very flattering choice to choose the latter, because a concerto is usually performed by multiple people, and the momentum of a solo performance will be much weakened, which is thankless.

But Tokugawa Seimei did not hesitate, and confidently chose "Piano Concerto No. [-] in B flat minor".

This is the most famous piano concerto in Tchaikovsky's life, and it is also a must-choose repertoire for many university professors to hold open classes, and it is played by many first-class pianists.

This piano piece has a certain degree of difficulty in grasping emotions, and the main theme needs to have cheerful and unrestrained emotions.

The sub-main part needs to be very lyrical and graceful.

All kinds of emotions are intertwined, not a world-class top pianist, it is difficult to perform perfectly, and it is also the most difficult piece in this round of competition.

The applause sounded like thunder.

Seimei Tokugawa stepped onto the stage and sat in front of the piano. After a little preparation, he started playing while the audience was watching.

……

On the other hand, the competition of the violin group entered a fierce stage.

Because there were only five places for promotion, all the players did not make any reservations, and almost all of them worked hard to suppress the bottom of the box.

Miyamoto Asahi played "Violin Concerto in D Major", the whole piece lasted more than 15 minutes. This piece is also Tchaikovsky's most famous violin work. The small climaxes broke out one after another, which was exciting.

The whole song is always full of tension, and the occasional gentleness in the middle makes the song more relaxed and makes people feel at ease.

There is no doubt that Miyamoto Chaoyang has put a lot of effort into the practice of this "Violin Concerto in D Major".

This allowed her to get a high score of 9.2, temporarily ranking first in the game.

But when Pei Hongyu appeared on the stage, all this changed again.
