Chapter 191 Lenovo
Mo Xi's hands rose and fell on the piano keys, bringing out a large number of passionate and cheerful piano sounds. Her hands crossed and waved them greatly, completely different from the exquisite and agile manner at the beginning, but became wanton and ostentatious!
This is the last theme of "Liszt Paganini's Great Etude - Zhong", a piece of music with a distinct dance style. Although the difficulty is not the largest part of the whole song, it is the most passionate part of the style. For a female pianist, it is really not easy to perform it perfectly.
But at this moment, Mo Xi played the music freely and happily, but the system was not messed up, which made everyone excited!
"Okay, play well!" Shi Shucheng praised the tribute. The ability to play "Clock" to this level was even better than the graduate students under his command.
Chang Hua and Du Mingyin around him were also surprised, as if they couldn't believe that such a "supernatural" female contestant would appear in such a level of competition. The two of them knew in their hearts that the song "Clock" she just played was considered top-notch even in the piano department of the Central Conservatory of Music! Even if they were both, they could not play this song so smoothly!
The other party's technique is even more open and unruly, with a strong color of European and American pianists. This very romantic playing style is relatively rare among domestic pianists. Domestic piano education is generally more influenced by orthodox academic schools, especially the Russian academic schools. Many people regard Horowitz as a classic, and some extremes are even disobeyed by Horowitz. The two can almost determine that the contestant in front of them must have studied abroad, and the place they are definitely in European and American countries, and they will definitely not be Russia!
In fact, Shi Shucheng also made such a judgment in his heart, and even he vaguely guessed the other party's general school. You should know that at this level, he had basically had a clear understanding of the playing style of well-known pianists around the world. He could guess a rough idea in his heart by just taking a few glances.
A series of accent chords burst out from the Yamaha piano, as enthusiastic as a mountain torrent. Mo Xi's body also rose and fell sharply, and it was obvious that he used all his strength. Only the tone of the Yamaha piano was soft, even if it burst out with fff-level strength, it sounded a little fluttering.
"It's a pity that such a good performance is not a good piano!" Shi Shucheng sighed in his heart. Seeing that the other party had finished playing, he took the lead in applauding.
The applause from the audience was even more enthusiastic. Mo Xi's performance just now was so gorgeous. Just watching the pair of hands flying on the keys, it was enough to make people jaw-drop, let alone the magical sound of the piano. This was definitely a wonderful performance!
Unexpectedly, after applauding, Shi Shucheng took the microphone and nodded at Mo Xi with a smile.
"It plays very well. I'll ask, which music academy are you from?" Shi Shucheng got straight to the point. Although he had already guessed the answer in his heart, he still wanted to confirm it again.
"Hello Teacher Shi, I am now in the fourth grade of the Curtis Conservatory of Music in the United States and I am about to graduate." Mo Xi nodded politely to Shi Shucheng. Although there was still no smile on his face, his attitude was very modest.
"Well, I actually saw it a little just now. Your playing style has strong romantic techniques and is very passionate. If I guess correctly, your teacher is the dean of the Curtis Conservatory of Music, Grafman." Shi Shucheng asked with a smile.
After hearing Shi Shucheng's words, Mo Xi was stunned, as if he didn't expect the other party to guess his teacher. However, thinking that this was also a famous pianist in the international piano industry, he felt relieved and had a slightly smile on his face.
"Yes, Teacher Shi, my teacher is Dean Grafman." Mo Xi answered honestly.
"It's actually Grafman's student!" Several judges had heard of this legendary pianist and couldn't help but feel moved. Thinking of Mo Xi's outstanding performance just now, I realized it. I think only legendary pianists such as Grafman can teach such excellent students.
Grafmann is known as the "left-handed pianist". His right hand was seriously injured due to an accident when he was young and could not play normally. However, this did not prevent him from making greater achievements in the piano, but instead made him famous. Of course, compared to his reputation for playing, he was more famous at "knowing people". Many famous pianists were made by him, including Lang Lang, who was known as the "national treasure".
Among the audience below, many knew Grafman, and they all looked excited and bowed their heads to discuss. Those who didn't know who Grafman was also inquired about it. After hearing Grafman's legendary deeds, they were all amazed. Then Mo Xi in the stands became more serious, especially those piano students, with envy in their eyes, and a strong sense of desire to learn piano from the legendary "left-handed pianist".
"It's so crazy. Is this a quasi-professional competition or a truly advanced professional piano competition?" Jiang Ya smiled and shook her head. Thinking that Yu Fan was about to appear, her expression became eager again.
"Yufan, come on, don't lose to this Mo Xi." Jiang Ya clenched her fists secretly and said in her heart.
In Dazhai Village, more than a hundred miles away, Yufan's family, Wang Xiaoyong, Xue Dongzhe and others also looked nervous. The person named Mo Xi was so powerful just now that they couldn't help but worry about Yufan.
"This girl is so amazing. The judge just now said that he went to school in the United States?" Xue Dongzhe said in surprise.
"Hmph, no matter how powerful it is, it is not as good as my brother. My brother is the most powerful!" After hearing Xue Dongzhe's words, Liu Xiaoran said unhappily.
"Hehe, that's right, Yufan is even more powerful! Stop talking, look, it's his turn soon." Xue Dongzhe said with a smile.
At the competition site, Shi Shucheng's question to Mo Xi was not over yet, and he was obviously very interested in her.
"Mo Xi, what large-scale competitions have you participated in?" Shi Shucheng asked with a smile. Based on her performance just now, Shi Shucheng concluded that she must have participated in international competitions. People who have participated in that kind of competition naturally have a kind of momentum. As long as they are playing, they will unconsciously show it. Shi Shucheng has seen a lot, so he will naturally not read it wrong.
"I participated in the Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition last year and won the second prize." Mo Xi replied honestly.
"Oh, Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition is one of the top international piano competitions. It is indeed very good to win the second prize in this competition. I am very curious, why did you think of coming to participate in the Jianghai Cup?" Shi Shucheng asked curiously.
He didn't say directly, "How could you come to participate in such a poor piano competition?" Because at least the organizer is still there, he has served himself with delicious food and drink these days. No matter what, he can't eat others' things, and he can't reveal his shortcomings.
"Because I happened to be in Jianghai, I caught up with this competition, so I wanted to participate." Mo Xi explained with a smile, and there was no intention of looking down on this competition. Judging from her performance just now, she was indeed serious. This song "Clock" not only represents her highest level, but it is almost the same.
"I just happened to be in Jianghai and something happened to be there~~" After hearing Mo Xi's words, Liu Yufan's heart moved, and his guess became clearer.
"I have something to do when I come to Jianghai, Mo Xi, Mo~~ This girl, can it have anything to do with Teacher Mo Yan?" Liu Yufan thought in surprise.
Mo Yan has never talked about his family with Liu Yufan for a long time. Even if Liu Yufan sometimes asks questions occasionally, he keeps silent and doesn't want to talk too much. Even when Yufan asks too much, he will be angry. Over time, Liu Yufan stops asking.
But today, after seeing Mo Xi on this occasion, Liu Yufan once again had this idea. He finally understood why when he first saw Mo Xi, he felt a strange, familiar feeling. Looking closely, there was a bit of Mo Yan between Mo Xi's eyebrows and eyes!
Thinking of this, Liu Yufan couldn't help but feel a little excited. Mo Yan has always refused to talk about his family, but Liu Yufan knew that he actually cared very much, but it seemed that the memory was very painful and he didn't want to recall it more.
If, if Mo Xi is really his daughter, then would Mo Xi come to Jianghai just to look for her father? How great would it be if their father and daughter could meet? Liu Yufan was already excited to have a scene of their father and daughter recognizing each other.
But he didn't want to think too much. Shi Shucheng had already asked Mo Xi's questions. Seeing Mo Xi step down, host Jia Jia reported his name again. Liu Yufan quickly threw away all the distracting thoughts in his mind and quickly adjusted his game state.
When he passed by Mo Xi, Liu Yufan looked at her carefully again. The other party looked at him for a moment, nodded politely at him, but said nothing.
When passing by Jia Jia, Jia Jia chose an angle that the audience could not see, quietly smiled at Liu Yufan, and whispered: "Yufan, come on!"
Because of the wedding company, the two of them are now considered old acquaintances. Liu Yufan nodded slightly at him and smiled, then walked straight to the piano in the center of the stage.
