200014838 Chapter 686 Thor's left hand

...Two heavy chords suddenly rang. Stanway's "Light of Art" sounded like a heavy hammer in the hearts of Hong Dou's World. The heavy metal sound was like a heavy hammer in the hearts of people!

The etude in the minor tune is one of Scriabin's most famous piano etudes. It is full of strong Russian heroism, and the accent of its left hand is still prominent. Known as the "Left Hand of Thor", the famous late Russian pianist Horowitz likes to play this piano piece the most in his later years. In the Moscow National Grand Theater, he played this etude many times. When the music ended, Horowitz's movements looked more like a knock! The pure and heavy stress made many music fans fascinated!

And now, the famous Russian pianist Kissin, a younger generation, has once again played this famous etude in the Stanway Concert Hall, which is attracting attention from music fans around the world!

Above the stage, under the illumination of a large bright chandelier, Kissin's hands were rising and falling in front of the piano. Especially with the left hand, every touching key was so powerful, and the strong and sad color made many people's hearts shock!

"This is the real piano art, this is the music that can truly shock people!" Listening to Kissin's performance, Istomin said with emotion. He is also a pianist who prefers Russian music works. He admires both Rakmaninov and Scriabin's works very much. If Istomin had always believed that the most classic person who played these works was the great Horowitz, then Istomin now attaches more importance to this young Russian pianist this year! Although I had heard Kissin's concave and videos before, it was far less shocking than what I saw with my own eyes! The feeling of perfectly combining technology and art deeply attracted all his attention!

The other judges were also exactly the same as Istomin. If Valodos' performance in the morning was to conquer them with skills, then Kissin's performance at this moment really impressed them with the sound of the piano and the melody!

The hands are getting stronger and stronger on the keys, and the hand shape is basically flat. Although this hand shape is not very correct from the perspective of the traditional academic school, no one thinks that Kissin's hand shape is problematic, not because Kissin's outstanding pianist. Instead, they know that this is the habit of playing this work by the late "Thor Left Hand" Horowitz. The practice of many pianists has also proved that this hand shape is the most suitable hand shape for playing this work. Because most of the etudes of the Shengsun tune are composed of chords, and although there are short melodies, they are all colorful as passing and decoration. Especially the octaves that protrude from time to time in the left hand are completely continuous chords.

It is simply unrealistic to play such a work, keep your hands in the same way as "holding an egg".

In fact, although the term "holding an egg" is a "rule of non-duality" that many piano teachers tell beginners, they really understand it from the level of skills. This state emphasizes more on a "feeling" rather than really "catching" an egg.

What is this feeling? It is the feeling of "empty" in the palm of your hand. It is the feeling of keeping an arc at all times when your hands start from the palm joints. Even if you play an octave chord with a large span, the hand shape looks completely "flat" but the feeling in your heart is still "empty".

At this moment, Kissin's performance did this very well. The difficulty of this etude of Scriabin is that almost all the melodies are composed of chords, which requires the hand shape to basically maintain a "sudden opening" state at all times. In such a state, the speed is slow. If the speed is fast, it is easy to cause the wrist to be stiff and the strength is not smooth. Because the arms need muscles to move quickly, the muscles of both arms, especially the muscles of the big arms at that moment.

It must be nervous, but the moment he touches the key, he must relax immediately and keep the strength unobstructed. If he does not match the height of the key, this is not so easy to do. The reason why the late Russian famous pianist, "Thor Left Hand", Horowitz, was so praised for playing this song because of his magical left hand stress. No matter how fast he moves, he can always make the piano shine with a transparent and shocking bass at the moment he touches the key!

And this Xuan Kissin's performance undoubtedly perfectly reproduces this kind of shock! The dazzling left hand often beats rapidly in more than two octaves, and when the mysterious keys touch the keys, the transparent bass sounded like a shock to the listener's heart! Ji Niu's eyes were flying back and forth above the keys and piano. Every time an accent sounded, his body would shake with great movements. That movement seemed to be pleasing to the eye, because it was the manifestation of freely conveying all the strength of his body to his fingertips!

"Thor's left hand! This Kissin can actually play the famous work of Thor's left hand to such a level, which is worthy of being Kissin!" Looking at Kissin's performance, Lang Lang sighed with emotion. With this song alone, he could already foresee Kissin's score. To be fair, he was convinced! Kissin's erroneous understanding is higher than him! If Valodos suppressed him because of his first skill, his first skill, and his inadvertent expression, which made him feel a little dissatisfied, then Kissin's inadvertent demeanor, the arrogant guy, was convinced from the depths of his heart.

"This guy" actually played Scriabin's etude like this!" Valodos's previous confidence began to lose little by little! Looking at the kingly aura emitted by Kissinar inadvertently and listening to the shocking melody emitted from the light of art, Valodos doubted his will to win. He had a genius conceit, but he was even a master of piano. He knew who played it well or not and what speed he was better than anyone else. Although this Etude of Scriabin's Etude was not as difficult as the "Fireworks" he wrote in the morning, it was far higher than his works in terms of overall, especially in terms of artistic connotation, especially the skills of the left hand. Although the speed cannot be compared with "Fireworks", Valodos knew that even he had to deal with the fast bass octave chords at such a level.

Seeing Kissin playing smoothly and freely without any urgency, Valodos had to admire him!

"Zheng!" A chord of gold and iron chorus ended the etude in less than three minutes. When Kissin raised his arms to the air in a chic manner, the audience was boiling! All the music fans were conquered by the charming and transparent bass! At that moment, no matter how well they knew about the piano, they completely appreciated the charm of the great king of instruments!

"Great! This song is absolutely amazing! This is the sound of the real light of art! Kissing, he is such a great pianist!" He was excited to appreciate the performance of Kissing up close! Although he is not a pianist, as the current head of Stanway, the world's top piano brand, and as a highly skilled piano maker, Merkstanway has a deeper understanding of the tone of the piano than anyone else! He may not

He knew how high the player was, but he knew what the most beautiful sound was! Yuecai, just on the net, Merkstanway was surprised to hear the perfect sound of the bass part of the "Light of Art.! He could even feel the sound of the responsive hammer head hitting the base sound on the thick steel strings. The resonance produced in the huge resonance box formed by carefully selected Hongbin wooden boards was so solid that it was the most wonderful bass he heard!

"He should be Stanway's lifelong artist. He is the first person to make the light of art sound like this." Mercksteinway was excited and looked at the judges. He believed that those people would give a score that would be enough for Kissing to win the championship! After all, Kissing's achievements were also there, and with such a wonderful performance, Mercksteinway really couldn't think of any reason they would not let Kissing win the championship. In fact, according to previous expectations, Mercksteinway also listed Kissing as the most promising candidate for the championship. Now it seems that his previous expectations were indeed good.

Kissing's performance did not end, and next he began to play the third work.

The moment his hands fell, there was no stop for a moment. A series of heavy rhythms made his body make huge movements! As soon as the familiar melody sounded, all the music fans in the audience were instantly excited!

"La San. This is La San." A Russian music fan said almost crazy, looking at Kissin's eyes full of fanatical worship!

That's right. Kissin's third contest is the Rachmaninov's third piano concerto, known as "the most difficult piano work in the world". Heart-happy! This piano concerto in scraping minor was written at the age of 2, but it took a whole year. Russian pianist Rachmaninov completed the first draft. Cyril Smith, a professor at the Royal Conservatory of Music in the United Kingdom, once described the physical effort of playing "La San" equal to "shocking ten tons of butterflies." In the year, when Rachmaninov premiered in New York as a piano soloist, he also called his concerto a "elephant work." to describe its hugeness and heaviness. From all aspects, "La San" is an extension of the composer's representative work "La San" to transform minor piano concerto, but the difficulty of the former is obviously much greater than that of

Those!

Of course. As the Masters Cup competition track, "La San" is a bit longer, and Kissin cannot fully play the entire concerto. What he excerpts is the most difficult third movement!

The third movement, the key to the middle, the sonata.
Chapter completed!
