Chapter 395 Sean
Lin Weiyin's "Grand Polonaise Dance" made the audience boil, and many Chopin lovers were even more fascinated, and felt that the trip was worthy of them.

As many people have guessed, the closer the critical moment is, the players will pour out their unique skills at the bottom of the box.

And whether it is mental state or personal skills, the performance of the players is more prominent than the previous few games.

Lin Weiyin's wonderful performance made his opponent Xiao En look dignified.

Almost every player who has reached the top six tournaments today is a champion seed, and they all have the strength no less than the champion.

The most important thing is to look at the ability to perform on the spot.

There is no doubt that Lin Weiyin's performance this time is absolutely at its peak.

As the number one pianist in the United States, Sean’s life should have been full of ups and downs. He was born in a slum in Africa. He was hungry and skinny since he was a child. He had never seen his biological parents since he was born. After falling into a coma, he was adopted by an orphanage and started cultural studies.

That year, he was five years old.

Soon after, under the leadership of the teachers in the orphanage, Sean began to cultivate his hobbies.

At that time, Sean, who was only six years old, showed excellent talent in music, especially in piano skills, which surpassed and even crushed his peers. What is even more gratifying is that Sean's obsession with music Also more than ordinary people.

Interests and hobbies determine the future life.

Since then, the orphanage has decided to carry forward Sean's hobby.

A year later, Sean, who performed well, was adopted by a couple of music teachers in Mauritius, Africa.

Mauritius is one of the few developed and rich countries in Africa. It has a relatively rich life and a relatively developed economy. It is called "African Switzerland". The adoptive parents' family is the standard middle class in the whole Mauritius. They definitely have the opportunity to adopt Sean economic strength.

Since then, under the education of his adoptive parents, Sean has been invincible in various music competitions.

In various large and small piano competitions throughout the European and American continents, Sean's performance has attracted the attention of many music schools. Sean, who is only 13 years old, was admitted in advance by the Hannover Academy of Music in Germany.

The Hannover Conservatory is one of the most famous public conservatories in Germany and the world.

Its popularity in the European and American music circles is equivalent to Harvard University’s status in the world’s academic forest, and its piano major is known as the Oxford of the piano world. There are four or five world-renowned masters teaching in the department. It can be said that no one can match it.

At the age of 24, Sean was invited to perform at the White House. Not only was he personally entertained by US President Kennedy, but he was also issued a green card.

Last year, the music he produced won the Grammy Award.

Prior to this, Sean also won many awards such as the German Classical Echo.

Today, Sean, who is only 27 years old, can be said to shoulder the hope of the entire European and American continents in this year's Queen Elizabeth Piano Competition.

Because except for Sean, the other five players are all from Asia.

This seems to be a very incredible thing in the past.

But that's exactly what happened, and the rise of Asian musicians has astounded the world.

Lin Weiyin alone had already put Xiao En under pressure, not to mention the man who was staring at him in the audience.

"Liao Yuan..."

Sean took a deep breath and silently waited for Lin Weiyin to finish playing. Then amidst applause, he stood up and walked to the stage.

At this moment, the whole world is watching. Even though he has experienced countless events, the journey from the bench to the stage will always be the most difficult moment for Sean.

However, all these discomforts disappeared when he sat on the piano bench and touched the black and white keyboard with both hands.

Facing the piano, he has strong self-confidence.

The "Grand Polonaise" played by Lin Weiyin can be regarded as the pinnacle of the Chopin series. In terms of emotional expression, Lin Weiyin is already unparalleled in the world. After all, he is the gold medal winner of the Chopin Piano Competition.

Therefore, Xiao En knew clearly that even he himself did not have much confidence in competing with Lin Weiyin in terms of emotional expression. Therefore, he chose a different path just like Marius yesterday when he faced Liao Yuan. .

He thought of the pianist Balakiyev's "Islamic".

Balakiyev is an excellent pianist. He plays from memory and never reads music.He created a set of highly skilled piano works, the most famous of which is the song "Islamy".

In terms of difficulty, although it is not as good as Rachmaninoff's "Third Piano Concerto", it is also in the same sequence as Liszt's "Wild-o'-the-wisp", and even surpasses it.

This is an extremely difficult work, which is the product of Balakirev's 1870 to the Caucasus region to collect music. The subtitle of this work is "Oriental Fantasy".

This work is divided into three sections: first, the main part, expressing the theme; then the middle part, playing the small andante full of emotion; finally, the ending, speeding up and returning to the theme.

The ending is a very frenetic and intense presto.

Because of its extreme difficulty and high demands on the player's skills, many pianists regard it as a challenge.

For the piano lovers in the audience, when they heard the first key that Sean pressed, they felt a layer of goosebumps all over their bodies.

This is the most difficult piano piece that has appeared since the top twelve.

The series of chords, the continuous percussion and acceleration, the strength of the piano sound, at this moment, hit the face like a strong wind and waves, making people suffocate even more.

Offstage, Wu Di's eyes suddenly brightened.

This is the top pianist who is good at speed that he has seen besides his teacher.

Seeing Xiao En's slender and dark fingers jumping back and forth on the black and white keys, so fast that he couldn't see the fingering clearly, this aroused a strong fighting spirit in Wu Di's heart, so much so that he couldn't bear to put his hands between his knees. Stop trembling, follow the continuous bounce of the piano sound.

As an opponent, after witnessing Xiao En's strength, Lin Weiyin's heart was as calm as a lake.

She is good at emotional expression, and a pianist like Xiao En who is good at showing off skills and speed belongs to two different paths.

She represents the top of the line, and Sean...

At least from Lin Weiyin's point of view, Xiao En's showmanship seems to be a little bit worse than that of his man Liao Yuan.

After all, that is the man who played Rachmaninoff's "Third Piano Concerto", and even the great pianist who created "Immortal Chapter" by himself!
Lin Weiyin raised his jaw slightly.

No one understands how terrifying Liao Yuan's fingers are better than her!
