Chapter 185 An Quan Taoxiu "Ghost Fire"
Zhang Yue raised his hands high, bringing out a series of transparent and loud sounds of the piano, which is the prelude to the very personality of "Crazy Two"!
I have to say that the song "Crazy 2" is still very impactful when you play it. Especially when you walk to the quick-stop behind, you can see your skills everywhere. Whether it is the fast running of your right hand or the rapid up and down with your hands alternately, it is full of viewing points.
The audience's reaction was also very "powerful", and they were all very focused, obviously shocked by the "professional" performance of this big boy-like contestant. Until now, Zhang Yue's performance was the highest in the game.
Even the judges put away their casual expressions and became serious. Especially Shi Shucheng's two students, Chang Hua and Du Mingyin, looked very seriously. From their perspective, they could see the contestant's hands well. At this moment, the eyes of the two people stared at the hands almost for a moment. The expressions on their faces changed from time to time, sometimes nodding slightly, and sometimes shaking their heads slightly. As for Shi Shucheng, they were very calm from beginning to end.
This song is relatively long and it took almost ten minutes to finish the performance, which is close to the limit of the youth group's limited time.
When Zhang Yue finished playing the last main chord and simply finished playing, the audience had to applause, and even two judges applauded.
"Teacher Shi, this contestant named Zhang Yue is the most professional performer until now." Chang Hua, who was on the left side of Shi Shucheng, whispered in a low voice.
"Yes, I'm just a little bit less in terms of the level of the music, but there's no big problem. This contestant should have come from a professional music school." Du Mingyin on the other side agreed.
"Well, I play well, but some details are still relatively rough, and the pedals in the fast board are used too messy..." Shi Shucheng said a few more words this time, which can be regarded as giving some guidance to his students.
Sure enough, after listening to his explanation, the two of them kept nodding their heads, looking thoughtful.
Wang He sat on the left side of Chang Hua. With his position, he could naturally hear the conversation of several people. Although he was the "authoritative" of Jiang Hai's piano, only he himself knew how valuable he was. In front of the three masters and apprentices, he was not even worthy of carrying shoes for others. Being able to sit with them as a judge was completely a pity of a "local snake".
Take the contestant named Zhang Yue just now for example. When Wang He saw his performance, he felt ashamed. He couldn't play the song at the level of "Crazy 2". At this moment, he saw that he played it out, and it was so professional that he couldn't even tell where the good things were. But the three people next to him looked accustomed to it, and they picked out a lot of hair during the chat......
Fortunately, he was just a judge and didn't have to go on stage to perform, so not many people knew about his "old truth". At this moment, seeing the host Jia Jia walk onto the stage and call him to comment on the contestants, he also cleared his throat and started to speak seriously.
"The young man is called Zhang Yue, it's very good. Liszt's works have always been known as the jewel of the crown of piano art. Each poem is difficult, especially this song Kuang Er, which is a very representative song in the "Hungarian Rhapsody" series. It is very skillful and artistic. You can interpret it smoothly. It can be seen that you have put in some effort. However, you have to put in some details of the song, such as the comparison of levels and the use of pedals..." Wang He said a lot, but it is generally very general and does not involve specific details. Most of the suggestions were just temporarily "eavesdropped". However, this has little impact. This comment sounds seamless, and even Shi Shucheng and the others didn't hear anything.
The competition continued, and the performances of the next few contestants were both good and bad, but overall, compared to the youth group in the morning, it seemed much more professional and wonderful. One of them even played the fourth movement of the well-known Chinese piano piece "Yellow River" - "Defend the Yellow River", which set off a small ** to the atmosphere on the scene.
Off the stage, An Quantao, who was beside Liu Yufan, had already gone to the backstage to prepare. He and Peng Tielin sat aside and chatted a few times from time to time, which seemed very relaxed. He had no competition task today, so he came to observe it completely.
Although she was just chatting with Liu Yufan softly, Peng Tielin felt that she had gained a lot. After each contestant finished her own competition, Liu Yufan would usually give a few words lightly. He didn't talk much, but he mostly hit the nail on the head. Some of them involved in playing skills and had unique insights. Peng Tielin sounded like he always had a bright look. At this moment, after getting close to him, Peng Tielin felt how profound the child's attainment in piano was. If he hadn't been young, Peng Tielin thought he could have been directly on the piano system in the mid-tone.
The girl in black in front sat quietly watching the competition without saying a word. But Liu Yufan's comments behind her were heard, which made her nod in her heart. As the saying goes, "A expert can tell if there is any," she has been studying abroad for so many years and rarely comes back to China. She does not know what level of piano education in China is at. When she first saw the competition on stage, she was a little disappointed, but the voice behind her always made her feel like she met a "soul-minded". Although she had never heard him play the piano with her own ears, the girl concluded that the speaker must be a master.
"Teacher Peng, the next one is Quan Tao. Haha, the judges will definitely be lit up. Until now, none of the players on the field have shown their level as his opponents." Liu Yufan said with a smile.
"Haha, you can't be too proud. The Jianghai Cup is also a quasi-professional competition. There will definitely be some masters." Peng Tielin said with a serious emphasis.
"Teacher Yin Chengzong is a relatively well-known pianist in the world. Although Quan Tao has not studied with him for a long time, his foundation is very solid. Teacher Peng, you can definitely not make a mistake." Liu Yufan said confidently.
"Haha, if you can't say it's wrong, then you must be wrong." Peng Tielin said with a smile. He has a clear understanding of the level of the two people. What just now is just modestness in his mouth. He has confidence that even if these two people can't get first, they can definitely get a good result.
However, when hearing the conversation between the two people, the girl in the front row suddenly looked back at them, with a slight difference in her eyes.
At that moment, Liu Yufan and her eyes met, and both of them were slightly stunned. The girl seemed to feel a little embarrassed and turned her head away again, while Liu Yufan felt that the familiar feeling came again.
"Yin Chengzong." The girl muttered the name in her mouth, looking at the stage with curiosity. At this moment, a "beautiful" boy walked onto the stage amid the applause of everyone.
"Wow, this handsome guy is so handsome.,
"He's really a man?"
"Ha, this guy's name is so funny."
As soon as An Quantao appeared, it caused a stir. Many "passers" were amused by his shocking name, while some thin-skinned girls spat lightly and thought that this guy's parents were not ashamed, and actually gave the child such a "weird" name. The people in the front row started to discuss after seeing his "fashionable" appearance clearly.
"Haha, Teacher Peng, Quan Tao looks very popular." Liu Yufan said with a funny look.
"Haha." Peng Tielin laughed dryly, but didn't know what to say. He was a teacher, so naturally he couldn't say whatever he wanted like others.
As for the guy on the stage, he seemed to have been used to such a "welcome", and there was no fluctuation on his face. He sat directly in front of the piano, adjusted his state, and started playing.
As soon as my hands touched the keys, they moved flexibly like two swimming fish. Especially the right hand, it was simply "silent like a virgin, moving like a rabbit." Just a sway of the keys, it brought out a series of incredible sounds!
The fifth etude of Liszt Super Skills, "Ghost Spike"!
Although it is just an etude, this song "Ghost Fire" is also a concert-level track, and its popularity is no less than that of the previous song "Hungarian Rhapsody" played by Zhang Yue. The technical requirements of this song are even higher than that of "Hungarian Rhapsody".
However, compared to Zhang Yue's need to play with full concentration, An Quantao was calm and relaxed at this moment. His hands were as flexible as if they were stuck to the keys!
"Beautiful!" Listening to the song "Ghost Fire", several pairs of eyes lit up in the judges' seat at the same time!
Shi Shucheng nodded slightly, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes. After listening to so many people's performances, he finally saw someone who could see him.
This song "Ghost Fire" is a very special song in Liszt's work. The style of the whole song is very strange and has very high requirements for the touching keys of your fingers. If you don't have enough basic skills, you can't play that kind of agile and weird taste. He himself often tells this song to his students, but there are very few that can meet his requirements. He didn't expect that he would actually see a contestant who played "Ghost Fire" so carefully here.
"This player named An Quantao is not simple." Shi Shucheng stared at the hands on the keys, looked at the standard hand shape, and nodded gently.
