At 1:30 pm, the professional group competition continued.

Many contestants and parents who participated in the competition in the morning did not leave, but continued to watch the competition on site. Such a high-level competition is rare in normal times. Not to mention that you can learn a lot from the performances of other contestants, the comments of these judges on the judges' seats benefited a lot. You should know that these people are usually benchmarks in the piano education industry in China and have absolute authority.

Of course, there were also some low-quality contestants. When the staff posted the competition results in the morning, Lu Wei saw a girl with a low score, about 7 or 8 years old, crying at that time, while her mother, a woman who looked very well-educated, unexpectedly cursed, accusing the judges of being unfair and giving her daughter a low score. Finally, after being forcibly invited by the staff, she kept threatening, saying that she knew someone and wanted to sue something.

Naturally, several judges would not have the same knowledge as such people. Although the chairman of the organizing committee of the competition learned about this situation, he was so angry that he wanted to cancel the contestant's results, Professor Zhou Guangren still asked to retain the results. At that time, many people at the competition site heard Zhou Guangren's words: "Parents should not blame their children for their faults. It is not easy for children to participate in a competition, so don't cancel it." A few simple words made the audience below applaud, and at the same time, they had more trust in these judges.

The professional group competition starts at 2 pm. This is also the highest-level group of this year's "Xinghai Cup" competition. The contestants are 16-20 years old, and most of them are professional students from well-known music institutions. The repertoire played are basically concert-level music. Every audience member is excited and the trip is worth it.

Because the professional group of songs participating in the competition are generally longer, in order to control the time, the judges still limit the performance time of each contestant to five minutes. The overall time remains at about twenty minutes.

Seeing the contestants playing in front of the piano, Lu Wei's performance was hooked up again.

Lu Wei has always been a competition player. The bigger the scene and the higher the level, the more excited he is. He often has a stroke of cleverness in his performance. At this time, facing a strong player, Lu Wei seemed very eager and wanted to go up and play with pleasure immediately.

Although the professional group performed very well, even in this very fierce competition, there are still outstanding players. It is eye-catching, and Xiao Nan is one of them.

Xiao Nan is the fourth player to play. He is not too tall in size, but he is very energetic. The moment he sat down in front of the piano, the strong confidence shown by Xiao Nan made Lu Wei feel familiar. That was the state he often appeared when he was playing.

As expected, Xiao Nan made extraordinary moves. The fifth etude of Liszt's super skill, "Ghost Fire", was shocked by the audience as soon as he made the first work.

Xiao Nan's ten fingers ran quickly and quickly on the keyboard. From the beginning, the thirty-two-minute fast notes were as precise as a computer made. It was played with high intensity for three minutes. Xiao Nan completed this extremely difficult work with very gorgeous movements and impeccable performance, interpreting what "super skills" is.

Before the applause of the people completely disappeared, Xiao Nan's second song, Beethoven's eighth piano sonata (Pathletic), played. The powerful movements, precise performances, and the right amount of strength were grasped. This piano sonata, which everyone is very familiar with, has a very straightforward and infectious power, and has left a deep impression on the audience.

In the audience seat below, Wei Xiaofan was quietly watching Xiao Nan's performance, with a hint of praise in his eyes. Xiao Nan's basic skills are very solid and his playing skills are even more impeccable. Among the four contestants who have already appeared in a professional group, Xiao Nan is undoubtedly the most outstanding one.

"Haha, boy Lu Wei, it seems that you have met an opponent. Xiao Nan is not simple. In China, such outstanding players are rare. But why haven't I heard of it before? Could it be those newly accepted students?" Wei Xiaofan touched his chin and thought in his mind.

Of course, Wei Xiaofan didn't know that this man Xiao was not a student studying in China, but a freshman from the National Conservatory of Music in Paris. He was sent to his uncle's home abroad by his parents at the age of 6. He also received regular piano education. He happened to catch up with the Xinghai Cup during his time home. He signed up with his playful mentality. As a result, he won the finals with his strong strength.

Xiao Nan's hands were flying on the piano keys, sometimes light and brisk, like a light dance. The wonderful moment of touching the keyboard between his fingers was fascinating, sometimes rapid, like a busy bee, with delicate movements made by his fingers, flexible and comfortable, sometimes making loud and huge sounds, like venting the sad and angry emotions in his chest, and the bass key made a thick and transparent sound, which sounded so refreshing.

Xiao Nan's expression was free and serious. His body made just right movements with the rhythm of the music, but it was not too exaggerated and deliberate movements, but just right movements for better performance. Xiao Nan's eyes rarely looked at the keyboard, but more often they closed gently and listened to his own performance with care. He only occasionally glanced at the keys when the keys changed significantly, and his whole body was so confident.

Several judges looked at Xiao Nan's performance and showed a look of praise on their faces. Zhou Guangren whispered to Ling Yuan beside him: "This child is good, he plays very well."

"Yes, looking at this basic skill, you can't get it without more than ten years of hard work. You are a good seedling."

"Advisor, I think I have heard from you that this person has played the song. He is very familiar with it." Xiaoling said on the side.

"Well, yes, this person who is called Xiao Nan is very high." Lu Wei said affirmatively.

"Then which of you two can play better?" Xiaoling continued to ask.

"Haha, what do you think?" Lu Wei asked back without answering.

"If you want me to say you're better playing. This person seemed to play, and it seemed that Xiaoling seemed to say a few words, but didn't say anything.

"It's okay to play, but it's still a bit lacking in grasping strength. The most important thing about Beethoven's things is the control of strength. This person's play is too fine." Liu Jie next to him said softly.

Lu Wei looked at Liu Jie in surprise, and never expected that a reporter would make such a precise evaluation of Xiao Nan's performance. In fact, Liu Jie said it well at all. Xiao Nan's performance was a bit too stylized. Although it looked perfect, his grasp of the inner soul of that kind of music was still a bit lacking in quality. However, such a small difference was difficult for ordinary professional piano teachers to tell. How did she hear it? Could it be that she is also a master of piano playing?

Lu Wei guessed in his heart, but he did not comment on Liu Jie's words, but continued to watch Xiao Nan's performance on the field.

According to convention, the third work is still a nocturne by Chopin. There are 21 nocturnes in total. The most well-known of them is the work of op.9no.2, which is included in the eighth grade piano exam. This piano piece with a fantastic color has become a must-play song for almost every student who comes into contact with Chopin's nocturne works, and it is also the one that everyone likes the most. This song is also played by Xiao Nan.

It is completely different from the sonata played by Beethoven just now. Xiao Nan's expression has become extremely gentle at this moment. His hands are not like playing the piano, but stroking the piano keys, as if the white piano keys are the smooth and tender skin of his lover. The piano sound also has a hint of unreal beauty, and each sound is so gentle, as if flowing out of the bottom of a person's heart.

Quiet.

The audience closed their eyes gently and listened to the wonderful sound of the piano, and no one even said a word softly.

The sound of the piano also brings people a quiet enjoyment, like a stream with silver moonlight, flowing through people's hearts, taking away all worries and sorrows, leaving only a quiet tranquility.

The sound of the piano gradually drifted away, like the beautiful night slowly leaving in the ray of dawn in the sky, and finally, it finally became faintly imperceptible and disappeared.

Xiao Nan closed his slightly bent eyes, which were always smiling. After sitting quietly for a few seconds, he stood up and bowed to the judges and the audience.

Everyone gave Xiao Nan's most enthusiastic applause, and even the judges applauded Xiao Nan for the first time.

Liu Jie clapped and said, "Xiao Nan's nocturne is much better than the previous sonata, and it has a very good taste of Chopin. In terms of this song alone, Xiao Nan's level has reached the master level." Then he paused for a while and said as if he had discovered something very fun: "Xiao Nan, Chopin, why are all surnamed Xiao? They won't have relatives, right?"

As soon as these words were said, everyone around Liu Jie was amused. Lu Wei gave Liu Jie a thumbs up while laughing, which meant: You are so talented.

Xiao Nan's performance received unanimous praise from all the judges. It seems that although the score was not given on the spot, it was definitely not low.

With Xiao Nan's wonderful performance, the performance of a girl from Shenyang Normal University Music Department who appeared next was a bit dull. Although the four songs were well completed, there were no outstanding highlights, the audience still politely gave warm applause.

"Okay, it's almost time for me, I'll go up first." When the fifth contestant started playing the third song, Lu Wei and a few people greeted each other and stood up.

"Play well, don't be nervous." Lu Wei's mother instructed.

"It's okay, don't worry."

"Advisor, come on." Xiaoling waved his small fist cutely.

"kindness,"

"Come on Lu Wei." Liu Jie said with encouragement on her face.
