Chapter 377

"This person plays very relaxedly. From the perspective of appearance alone, he is much better than that Meng Han."

Fu Xiaoci said in an expert tone.

Wu Di laughed out loud: "Miss Ci, you are really an expert."

"That must be!"

Fu Xiaoci couldn't hide her inner pride, she glanced at Liao Yuan flatteredly, expecting the same compliment, but Liao Yuan seemed indifferent, even lowered her head to play with her mobile phone.

She was stunned for a while, and continued to say to Wu Di: "Even though my sister's strength is not good, but my sister's eyeballs are really impressive, especially after staying with a hall-level god for a long time, these eyeballs will become more and more serious." It’s bright, as the saying goes, if you are close to vermilion, you will be red, if you are close to ink, you will be black, hehe.”

Wu Di compensated with a smile and said yes.

At this time, George's playing was in full swing. His playing style was a bit wild, but the movement of his fingers playing the piano was extremely quiet. Under this strange style of quietness and movement, he could perfectly interpret the unique emotions in Chopin's works. After coming out, George has formed his own unique style in piano performance.

Wu Di couldn't help but get serious, and asked quietly: "Teacher, what do you think of the strength of George's Polish pianist?"

"Very strong." Liao Yuan raised his head: "But he looks like he is 30 years old, and he can't compare with you in terms of reflexes or room for improvement."

Wu Di was slightly happy.

He knew that what the teacher said was right. The performer industry is similar to many athletes. The best performance is always under the age of 30 and over the age of 30. Such as those works of showmanship, it is already difficult to control easily. After all, It is an operation that requires huge mental and physical strength, such as Liszt's twelve etudes and the famous La San.

Therefore, older pianists usually don’t try the works of Liszt and Rachmaninoff lightly, but they will play Chopin or Debussy’s impressionist works. Belonging to the sentimental, hazy and romantic schools.

In the Queen Elizabeth Piano Competition, although the auditions and knockout rounds are more inclined to this kind of performers, as the competition gradually deepens, in the final semi-finals and even the finals, there is a tendency for all-around pianists. There will be more and more.

Participants must not only be able to play Chopin, but also be familiar with the works of Liszt, a virtuoso and madman. This is the most fundamental difference between the Elizabeth Competition and the Chopin Piano Competition, and it is also the reason why all competitions basically exclude contestants over the age of 30. reason.

After George's performance, the judges finally gave George 96 points, the highest score in the audience, after combining various evaluation criteria.

The pianists present all felt tremendous pressure.

The world-renowned performers gathered together to compete on the same stage, which opened the eyes of all the pianists who are among the best in the region, and at the same time deeply realized their own insignificance.

"96..."

In the audience, Meng Han applauded like a crowd, while looking at the dazzling George on the stage, who was 14 points behind himself, which made Meng Han feel ashamed, and his cheeks became hotter and hotter.

He had never heard of the name George, and was very annoyed at the other party's verbal discrimination, but it was undeniable that the other party played better than himself. Even if he made no mistakes today, it might be difficult to reach the level of the other party's performance.

So, is it true that, as the Polish pianist said, Chopin's works can only be performed by Europeans and Poles?
Do not!of course not!

Meng Han thought of Lin Weiyin. He clearly remembered how much Lin Weiyin had attracted attention in the Chopin Piano Competition three years ago. The judges were all crazy about her performance. If you talk about the performance level of Chopin's works, the whole world's music world , Lin Weiyin is definitely in the first echelon, and he is one of the best pianists!
Although George's performance is indeed superb, it is still far behind Lin Weiyin!
This is Meng Han's most steadfast point.

The Chopin Piano Competition was vacant for two gold medals. Pianists from all over the world flocked to each competition, but Lin Weiyin was the only one who won the crown. This alone is enough to show Lin Weiyin's strong strength.

only……

Still not reconciled after all.

Meng Han stared fixedly at George, seeing the other party's disdainful gaze, clenched and loosened his fists, his mood fluctuated.

Is myself, the bronze medalist of the Chopin Piano Competition, really that unbearable?

Anyone can step on their own feet?Or, in the past three years, my strength has declined too fast, and I was blindfolded by the world of flowers?

Just when Meng Han fell into painful thinking, the time of the competition gradually passed, and the second Chinese female pianist appeared on the stage. Her name is Wang Sa, a native of Huaxia Rongcheng, she is from the Jokai Conservatory of Music in London. She is 23 years old and has no reputation in China. , but in a burst of intense performance, she got a high score of 92, which attracted the attention of the audience.

Then, the third Chinese pianist appeared.

"Come on!" Fu Xiaoci encouraged Wu Di.

Wu Di nodded heavily, then looked at Liao Yuan, bowed and said, "I won't embarrass the teacher!"

Liao Yuan smiled, "I'm not your teacher."

"No, you are my teacher, you will always be!" Wu Di straightened up and walked towards the competition stage without waiting for Liao Yuan's answer.

Liao Yuan looked helpless.

At this time, the reporters around the scene accelerated the speed of taking pictures.

The entire scene also began to buzz with discussions.

Wu Di's participation has caused a sensation in the entire music world before. After all, he was the piano champion of the Tchaikovsky Competition last year. Even after a year, he still has a huge popularity.

Therefore, like Liao Yuan, after Wu Di participated in the competition, he was also specially explained by the official Twitter of the competition that he was a star player.

The most important thing is that Wu Di, who has just grown up, is the youngest among all the contestants in the Queen Elizabeth Competition. This alone is legendary.

Therefore, when Wu Di stepped onto the stage, even though he was wearing formal attire, his immature face still surprised everyone.

The judges looked at the information about Wu Di in their hands, and they also cheered up.

The Tchaikovsky Competition, the Queen Elizabeth Competition, and the Chopin International Piano Competition are also known as the three top music competitions in the world. The gold content of the champion of the Chai Award is no less than that of Elizabeth, especially this young man, who has just reached his age and is in full bloom. In the growth period, the future can be described as unlimited.

At this moment, Wu Di made a brief self-introduction and reported the piano piece he was going to play.

"Hungarian Rhapsody No. [-] by Herr Franz Liszt."

The whole place was quiet.

"Hungarian Rhapsody" is a set of piano repertoires written by the great pianist Liszt. There are 19 repertoires in the whole set, all of which were written on the theme of Hungarian folk songs at that time. Among them, the second one is the most famous. Its melody is either slow and solemn, expressing the mourning and complaints of the Hungarian people for the misfortune of the nation, or full of speed, showing the bold, optimistic and passionate national character of the Hungarians.

Wu Di is an avid fan of Liszt. He played Liszt's repertoire many times in the Tchaikovsky Competition. Chai awarded the laurel crown, but since then he has embarked on a road of no return.
