Chapter 404 Gold Award
From grief, pain, to passion and relief, the third movement of "Moonlight Sonata" played by Liao Yuan perfectly explained the theme of the whole piece of music, especially at the climax stage, various emotions swirled in people's ears and flowed in their hearts. It seems to be in it and become the great musician more than 200 years ago.

The judges looked at each other, and nodded slightly in shock, admiration, emotion and admiration.

Finally, the deafening music, like a violent storm sweeping through the soul, stopped.

But the lingering sound lingered, the cry of resentment, unyielding, and uncompromising to fate seemed to be still echoing in my ears at this moment.

After enjoying a moment of silence, the audience stood up again and applauded vigorously.

This time, even the judges couldn't help standing up to pay tribute.

Being able to play the world-renowned "Moonlight Sonata" to this level makes people intoxicated and mesmerized, almost unmatched in the world.

Sean stood up silently and applauded lightly.

Although the "Winter Wind Etudes" he played is the top work of the Chopin series and also his best work, facing the dazzling fingerings like wind and electricity and the emotions that poured into it, Xiao En couldn't help it. Feeling weak.

It's a very powerless feeling.

He knew that even though he was very good at the Beethoven series, there was still a lot of gap compared with Liao Yuan's "Moonlight Sonata" at the moment.

No, not even a level.

He stared at Liao Yuan who was bowing on the stage, calmed down a little, and walked onto the stage again.

Afterwards, another contestant, Wu Di, also came up.

"Teacher!" Wu Di had a strange excitement on his face.

When I witnessed Xiao En playing "Winter Wind Etude", I was actually a little worried about the teacher's strength...

Sure enough, all the bells and whistles are false. In the face of absolute strength, even if he is as strong as Xiao En, he still has to bow down.

Of course, professional pianists can tell which is good and which is bad.

But this is a competition, and everything depends on the judges' decision.

So, when Liao Yuan, Wu Di, and Xiao En stood on the stage, all the judges came out of their seats.

"I am very happy that the youngest pianists gathered here at the beginning of this century. This year's Queen Elizabeth Piano Competition is no less exciting than any other world in the past, especially when I saw Liao, Wu, Sean, After Laura waited for the contestants, I felt even more gratified. They are like Liszt, Chopin, and Beethoven when they were young, full of talent..."

The famous composer John Philip said with a smile, "...Now, after discussing and deciding between me and the judges at the scene, we will announce the results of the competition. After that, we will invite Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth to come to our Trophies are awarded to the Gold Medal winners.”

The atmosphere on the scene rose, and after many judges compared the results again, finally, the announcement of the ranking began.

Without any fancy language embellishment, John Philip directly read out the list of the top three winners.

"First of all, the bronze medal winner, congratulations to Wu Di, a young pianist from China."

As soon as the voice fell, there was applause at the scene, and a band started to play.

Wu Di smiled.

The result was exactly as he guessed, he knew the gap between himself and Liao Yuan and Xiao En.

Compared with Sean, what I lack is the emotional outburst, and I have not lagged behind in the conciseness of technology.

But compared with teacher Liao Yuan, he was definitely crushed in every way.

He lost convincingly.

Wu Di was even a little lucky. If the judges on the spot didn't pay more attention to the technical players, he might be in danger of even getting into the top five.

Then it was the turn of the Silver Award winners to be announced.

Philip licked his lips without any hesitation, and said, "Next, our silver medal winner..."

There was a little silence.

Everyone held their breath, opened their eyes wide, and looked at Philip.

The client, Sean, clenched his fists even more nervously. Although he knew that the hope was slim, there was always some hope.

As long as there is hope, there is hope.

He couldn't help looking at Liao Yuan.

However, he found that Liao Yuan was watching his heart with his eyes and nose, and there was nothing unusual on his expression, quietly waiting for the announcement of the result.

This powerful composure made Xiao En feel that Liao Yuan was unfathomable.

It seems that everything is under control, there is an illusion of turning hands into clouds and hands into rain...

"Congratulations to the young pianist Sean Wilder from the United States!"

Xiao En showed a wry smile, but he was not too disappointed, but when he looked at Liao Yuan, the feeling of powerlessness in his heart became more profound.

This is a high mountain.

No one can cross it.

In the past, some people may have questioned Liao Yuan's level. After all, Liao Yuan was born in pop music and has never won an award in classical music.

But now, all these criticisms have disappeared silently.

When he won the Queen Elizabeth Competition, the world's top classical music competition.

From then on, he is the king of this world.

"Finally, it is our gold medal winner. Yes, he is also from China. He is Liao Yuan, the new gold medal winner of our Queen Elizabeth Piano Competition!"

When Philip yelled out the name of the gold medal winner, the already ebullient audience burst into cheers and thunderous applause.

The live band played the theme music of the competition vigorously.

Audiences all over the world also witnessed this scene from the screen.

"CCTV, CCTV, this is CCTV news channel..."

"After nearly fifty days of hard work, Mr. Liao Yuan, a famous Chinese pianist, composer, and educator, won the gold medal in the Queen Elizabeth Piano Competition in Belgium today. sensation……"

"It is reported that the Queen Elizabeth Piano Competition is the world's top music competition. Classical music pianists from hundreds of countries around the world participate in the competition. His gold content is equivalent to Harvard and Oxford in the education field..."

"At the same time, Mr. Wu Di, a famous pianist in my country who won the gold medal in the Tchaikovsky Competition, won the bronze medal."

"This is The Times, yes, as we predicted before, without any surprise, Liao Yuan walked to the top position with the strongest posture. After the game, The Times will invite the gold medal of this year's Queen Elizabeth Competition The winner Liao Yuan conducted an exclusive interview."

"This is the Guardian, Sean lost, Liao won the Queen Elizabeth Competition..."

"This is the News of the World. The sensational Elizabeth Contest has come to an end. Queen Mary of Belgium will personally crown the gold medal winner, Liao Yuan, a great pianist from China..."
