Chapter 279 Qualifiers (2)

.

"Next, let us give the judges of our China Division qualifiers with warm applause. They are:

Member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Honorary Chairman of the China Audio and Music Association, and famous composer Wu Zuqiang!

Vice Chairman of the Chinese Musicians Association and famous pianist Bao Huiqiao!

The famous pianist Kong Xiangdong!

The famous pianist Li Mingqiang!

The famous pianist Shi Shucheng!

Every time the two hosts on the stage said the name of a judge, they would arouse a burst of intense applause from the audience. The names of these people, in the hearts of every student who studied piano and **, were the kind of being able to look up to them. The audience gave the most enthusiastic response to these people's coming on stage.

"Next, let us grandly invite the chairman of the jury, a famous pianist, educator, director of the Piano Department of the Central Conservatory of Music, Ms. Zhou Guangren!" Zhu Jun said in an inciting tone, then looked at the side of the stage.

Zhou Guangren, wearing a plain white outer suit, walked onto the stage with a thrill. When she bowed to everyone, the audience burst into warm applause like a storm! This is the real Taishan Beidou in the Chinese piano industry, an old-level figure. Under the stage, every look at Zhou Guangren was full of respect from the heart.

"Next, let us invite Comrade Li Dong, Vice Minister of Culture, to give a speech to the competition and announce the start of the competition." Zhou Tao smiled and waved to the front row of the audience. Then, Li Dong, wearing a gray suit, walked onto the stage with a smile on his face.

"Dear guests, ladies and gentlemen. Good evening everyone..."

After making some requirements and expectations for the competition as usual, Li Dong finally said a long time sentence in the expectant eyes of everyone:

"Next I announce: The second China International Piano Competition. The qualifiers in China are officially opened!"

With the warm applause from the audience, Li Dong waved his hand and walked off the stage with a smile.

"Huh, it's finally started. It's not good to be assigned to the first game. I have to wait for the cumbersome opening ceremony." Lu Wei said secretly while practicing finger gymnastics rhythmically. The other fourteen players who participated in the same game with him also showed similar expressions to Lu Wei. It's obvious that they were a little tired of this same-sized opening.

"Okay, the competition is officially started. First, I invite the first contestant, Lin Feng, who is from the third grade of Jilin Conservatory of Music. His participant is: Haydn's first movement of the sonata in e-minor. Please invite." With Zhou Tao's introduction, a tall young man sitting opposite Lu Wei, with long hair stood up and walked towards the stage. When he passed by Lu Wei, he left a strong smell of hairspray.

"Um." Lu Wei sniffed and felt a little choked. Lu Wei generally did not have the habit of hitting these things on his hair. In his opinion, it seemed unnatural and he was not comfortable. I wonder why many boys who study music like to make their hair like this. Is this a symbol of artistic temperament? He remembered his teacher Kong Xiangdong, whose shaved head looked more alternative. Perhaps those who engage in art have these preferences. But Lu Wei couldn't understand why he didn't.

"Maybe it's because I'm not artistic enough." Lu Wei touched his nose and smiled with a little self-deprecating smile.

I turned to look at the other people. Today, I said it was a coincidence that there was no one familiar to Lu Wei. Lu Wei knew that he had all participated. He had outstanding figures like Li Yundi, Xiao Nan, Qin Chuan, etc., but he was not assigned to the same group as himself. However, with their strength, it should be easy to enter the finals of the qualifiers.

"I hope the players in this group are not too weak." Lu Wei thought to himself that sometimes, when participating in the competition, the opponent is too weak, which makes people lose their **. Especially for performing players like Lu Wei, the stronger they are, the more they can inspire their performances.

"I don't know how the players in other places are doing, but Lin Feng..." Lu Wei was speechless.

The first movement of Haydn's Sonata in E minor, it seems that it is a little lighter to participate in such a competition.

Haydn is known as the father of symphony, and his compositional skills are naturally unquestionable. However, even master works are difficult and easy. It is not that you play a Beethoven, which means that your level is very high. "To Alice" was written by Beethoven. Of course, the first movement of this e-minor sonata is not as simple as "To Alice". But how to say, it is really a bit like "To Alice" to take a song that is only at the seventh level in the piano exam to participate in such an international competition.

Sure enough, when hearing Zhou Tao's report, although the judges didn't say anything on the surface, their secret frowning did not escape Lu Wei's eyes.

Lin Feng's performance began, his left hand jumped from the bass area of ​​the piano keys, and the rhythm of eight or six beats, four low jumps sounded, opening the prelude to the music.

Lin Feng's performance is very smooth and smooth, and his emotional handling is also very standardized. The overall performance is average and not very exciting, but there are no excessive mistakes.

But it is obvious that such a performance will naturally not have too high scores in such a level of competition. Moreover, Lin Feng was the first to play and was in a very unfavorable position.

Although I don’t know what the final scores of the judges are, judging from the faces of Gu Jing Bubo of the several judges, I guess there will be no high scores.

However, in the following melody imitation and music knowledge, Lin Feng's performance was remarkable. Melody imitation scored 75 points and music knowledge scored full marks. Although these two items do not account for too much of the total score, it tests a contestant's overall quality. Seeing Lin Feng's performance, several judges finally showed a soft look in their eyes.

"Okay, the performance of contestant Lin Feng of No. 1 is over. Please ask the judge Kong Xiangdong to comment." Zhou Tao said to Kong Xiangdong on the judges' seat.

"Okay." Kong Xiangdong took the microphone, cleared his throat, and said, "Heddn's first movement in the e-minor sonata is a song that everyone is familiar with among his many sonatas. This song was written in 1784 and is a representative work of Haydn's maturity. This song was made with 86 beats from the beginning, which has never appeared in Haydn's previous sonatas, which also gives this song a special personality. Your performance has no technical problems. I just listened from beginning to end, and there were basically no errors in pitch and rhythm, but in terms of grasping the overall composition personality, it seems a little bit dull. For example, in the Development Department, this part is a detailed treatment of the theme again, and the entire performance style should be a little fresher and more colorful. Just a little personal construction, just say so much!" Kong Xiangdong said, putting down the microphone.

Kong Xiangdong's comments made a warm applause sound from the audience. Many people who knew this work even looked at Kong Xiangdong with admiration. Kong Xiangdong's comments seemed to be easy to write, but they were incisive and pointed. If they had not had a very profound understanding of this musical work, they would definitely not have been so sophisticated and easy to understand. You must know that this is just a contestant's selection of competition. It is impossible to say that Kong Xiangdong did his homework in advance. This shows the profound skills of this famous pianist.

"Okay, thank you very much for the wonderful comments by Judge Kong Xiangdong, which allowed us all to learn a lot of knowledge. Okay, let's continue to invite the second contestant, Huang Yan, a second-year student from the Piano Department of the Central Conservatory of Music. His participation repertoire is: Lister No. 12 Hungarian Rhapsody.

Although Lu Wei had a list of players marked with the order of appearance, he didn't know who was Huang Yan. At this moment, with the host Zhu Jun's report, a big man who had been sitting closest to the door stood up.

Huang Yan and Lu Wei are about the same size, but in terms of weight, Lu Wei is far from that. Huang Yan's fat round face looks cute, but his small eyes are sometimes shining with a clear light. His fat body is enough to hold Lu Wei and have plenty of money. Conservatively, it is probably more than 200 pounds.

Huang Yan was originally very "personal", but that outfit was more personal. Unlike most people who wore suits, Huang Yan just casually wore a black jacket and jeans, and a pair of white Nike shoes on his feet, which was extremely comfortable to wear.

"Have a personality!" Looking at Huang Yan's back as he walked onto the stage, many waiting contestants had this idea in their minds.

Seeing Huang Yan walking on stage in this dress, Zhou Tao was obviously stunned for a moment, but she, who had a lot of experience in hosting, quickly came to her senses and smiled and made a "please" gesture to Huang Yan.

Huang Yan casually bowed to the audience below, and then sat on the piano bench, feeling as natural as returning to class, and there was no trace of nervousness.

"Huang Yan's psychological quality is very strong." Lu Wei secretly exclaimed.

After sitting quietly for a while, Huang Yan's fat left hand was raised casually, and two compact and clear octaves sounded on the piano.
