After taking a group photo on stage, the award-giving guests and other contestants left the stage and returned to the audience.

Qin Jian and Marek went backstage to discuss the performance process for the last time.

Also participating in the discussion was Mr. Korishmiya, the stage director of this concert, a short and fat man.

With the help of a translator, Korishmiya hoped that our gold medalist could start by playing a polonaise.

Qin Jian nodded in agreement. He guessed that it was probably because today's occasion was more suitable to open with such a piece that represented the Polish national heroic complex.

Marek reminded Qin Jian that he only needs to prepare an encore piece, "After performing the encore piece, you will step off the stage. No matter how much the audience claps and shouts, you don't have to come out again. There will be a host to help you finish."

"Yeah," just follow the official procedures, but Qin Jian's question is, "Does the encore have to be Chopin's works?"

This question made Marik roll his eyes, "This is necessary!"

The translator replied, and Qin Jian nodded to express his understanding. He originally had other thoughts, but after thinking about this situation, he decided to forget it.

When the other party mentioned the encore, the first thing that came to his mind were two Chinese songs.

After the three people checked, Qin Jian asked the staff to take him to confirm the piano for performance.

Two staff members respectfully took him to the waiting room, where several Steinway technicians were making final adjustments in front of a black piano.

The main person in charge, Qin Jian, had met the old bearded German man who was responsible for explaining to him when he went to the Steinway Warsaw factory to test the new 274s in March this year.

Taking the initiative to shake hands with the other party, Qin Jian communicated with the other party about Qin's status in jerky German.

The other party told him everything was OK.

Three minutes later, all the technicians left the piano. Qin Jian sat in front of the piano and briefly ran around. The sound was excellent in his hand.

After confirming that it was correct, he returned to the rest room accompanied by the staff.

There are still three minutes left before he goes on stage, so he can still take a break.

...

At this time, the audience in the concert hall had returned to their seats.

Steinway technicians pushed the piano they had just adjusted onto the stage, and the lighting, recording, and camera backstage were also adjusted at the same time.

The concert is about to start.

"Buzz——"

At 19:30, a bell rang.

"Wow————————"

The audience burst into applause.

moment.

The back door of the stage was opened wide, and Qin Jian appeared calmly with a smile on his face.

bow.

Take a seat.

The applause fell.

The exciting championship concert was about to begin, and the scene was completely silent.

...

"Dang!!——"

Raise your hands and lower your arms, the majestic and gorgeous A-flat Polonaise burst out from the stage.

The strong color of Polish folk music, under the extremely singing melody tone, rushes into the eyes of every listener with the strongest courage.

The powerful and soft body in front of the piano perfectly cooperates with the music.

After the prelude, the extremely brilliant heroic theme enters.

Every Polish person present felt a firm and incomparable power from the music at this moment.

Shocking performance picture without losing delicate sound.

The dense and substantial chord texture has richer colors under the unique finger-splitting power of Qin Key.

The devil is in the details, and the audience who listened to the performance again marveled at the performer's finger control.

The descending octave progression of the continuous sixteenth tone group, and the layer upon layer of syncopated floating point rhythms seem to echo back and forth.

All these playing techniques together give this polonaise a grand epic style again.

At this moment, everyone looked at the solo figure on the stage and sighed, this is the style of the winner of the Best Polonaise Award.

His Polish dance was undoubtedly the best in the entire competition.

As the piano chords concluded triumphantly at the end, the audience burst into loud applause and shouts.

"Wow————————"

Qin Jian helped Qin stand up, smiled and bowed lightly.

Then walked off the stage.

.However, the applause did not stop there, but grew even louder.

The audience asked Qin Jian to return to the stage with more enthusiastic applause.

This is an honor reserved for soloists.

...

Qin Jian returned to the stage without keeping the audience waiting for too long.

For the second piece, he brought two legatos by Xiao Lian to the audience.

Revolution + winter wind.

Needless to say, the personal significance of these two works to him is that revolution was his first cry, and the winter wind allowed him to make up for his regrets in the art exam.

At the same time, these two star works are also two of Chopin's most widely circulated works, and they were also the pieces that Qin Jian played in the preliminary competition and the first round.

The revolution started with a bombing scene.

The scene is exactly the same as the first round of the competition. This has become Qin Jian’s signature way of playing with his own unique playing style.

High altitude key drop.

Very few pianists would use such an opening power chord.

One is that dropping keys at high altitude will greatly increase the chance of mispronunciation.

The second is that high-altitude Rogaine can usually only increase the volume, but it is difficult to reflect the depth of touch, and the loud sound coming from the piano will appear too rigid.

Third, it is not conducive to connecting the next sentence, especially in fast works, which will lead to inconsistent timbre of the work and musical separation between the preceding and following sentences.

But when finger strength and wrist skills reach an absolute height, these three problems are no longer a problem.

At least for now, no matter how the outside world evaluates him, Qin Jian still defines himself as an absolutely skilled player.

His fingers had already been tempered by Chris and Shen Qingci.

Raise it high and drop it hard, hit the keys, "Buzz!!!"

The dissonant dominant ninth chord once again burst out of the jet and rushed over the stage.

The violent and wild movements become more contagious amid the roaring piano sound.

Qin Jian transformed into the most charming male at this moment, exuding extreme hormones in black and white.

The ensuing fast running also carried the momentum of no hesitation, and the poet's vigorous attack continued to sing after the polonaise.

The eternal spirit of this song is vividly displayed in just two minutes and thirty-seven seconds.

Qin Jian also set a new speed of revolution again.

When he stopped holding his hand for a moment, he felt relieved.

After a while, he lowered his fingers again, and this time the sound was soft.

But the audience knew that the biting winter wind was about to blow.

After the introduction, a strong wind blew up in front of the piano.

The impromptu theme melody is like Qin Jian's emotional expression, but with a little taste, the delicate development logic of the music is enough to make people feel the charming magic of Chopin's poetry.

In one go, when the gorgeous sound flow derailed and rushed in the direction of ignorance, the winter wind disappeared in the uppermost sky of the concert hall.

There was only an evocative lingering sound left in the air.

Just a moment more.

All the lingering sounds disappeared, and Qin Jian stood up again with his piano in hand.

“Wow————————————”

Bow and step down.

After two pieces, the audience seemed to see the Chinese youth who was so imaginative in the first three rounds returning.

The next third track is the finale of the first half.

Qin Jian brought a repertoire that he did not fully perform in the competition.
