"Jerold Jones!"

Hearing this name, Liu Yufan narrowed his eyes slightly, and he couldn't help but take a look at the side of the platform.

This name may not be very famous yet, but Liu Yufan knows that it is this guy who has become famous for his online video "he'sapirtate". Although this song was released in advance because of Liu Yufan's existence, this guy's strength is quite terrifying!

Liu Yufan still remembers that when he first saw his performance on the Internet, he was dumbfounded by his magical piano skills. Although he is an American pianist, his playing style is somewhat similar to Berezovsky, both of which are straightforward and without any unnecessary movements. He looks extremely refreshing!

Liu Yufan knew that to reach such a height, the performer needs to have profound basic skills and understand piano skills to enter a state of "habits become natural". For example, Lang Lang, although he is "exaggerated" in his performance, most of the movements are still a bit redundant, which is something he made himself "excited" or deliberately made for the sake of musical "expression". Compared to this "natural" thing, it is one level short of this.

Jerrod Jones, wearing a casual black casual T-shirt and blonde hair, walked onto the stage with a very casual step.

After a burst of applause, Jerold Jones sat down in front of the piano.

"It's him!" Seeing this guy up close, Liu Yufan's impression of him changed a little.

The real Jerrod Jones seems to be about the same height as Liu Yufan. However, his figure is obviously thinner than Liu Yufan. But Liu Yufan has no doubt about the explosion in this body. The powerful "explosion" shown by this guy when playing "he'sapirate" can make everyone who sees him tremble with excitement.

Lang Lang sat next to Liu Yufan and couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw that he was so concerned about this contestant.

Among the Chinese contestants who are traveling with him, I'm afraid that even Liu Yufan will be the one who is Liu Yufan. Although the level of several people is similar, in terms of origin, he and Liu Yufan are the most miserable. For example, Wang Yujia and Li Yundi have had a relatively good family environment since childhood. Not to mention the family's financial conditions, the piano education they received is also extremely high-quality. It's not like when he was young, his father played the erhu and had no conditions at home. It was already a miracle among miracles to be able to learn this. This forced the family to "jump off the building" and "drink medicine" again and again.

Liu Yufan is even worse than himself. Not to mention his family in the countryside, his parents have nothing to do with music. His mother farms at home. Although his father is a teacher and is a cultural person, he teaches physics and cannot match the music. I heard that this kid is watching others play the piano on TV freshly, and then learns music theory knowledge with elementary school music textbooks. Then he uses the old-fashioned organ in school to enter the door? When Lang Lang first heard Liu Yufan talking about this, he was like listening to a fantasy.

"Hey, what are you looking at? What's the good guy? Lang Lang elbowed Liu Yufan and asked softly.

"Haha. This contestant is quite unique. You see, everyone else is wearing suits or tuxedo, but the old man goes up in a black casual outfit." Liu Yufan smiled and pointed at the Jerold Jones who had already walked to the front of the piano with his smile.

"Haha, that's true, but American pianists are generally more unique. You have never seen them in our school. Not to mention that they are dressed up, they usually wear pajamas to teach. The teacher never says anything and is used to it." Lang Lang said with a smile.

"Oh, really, the classroom is probably messy." Liu Yufan said with a smile. He could imagine the situation Lang Lang said. Foreign universities are open, and there are not as many rules as domestic universities, and they are more humane in management. Especially music schools, in order to show their personality, all kinds of students may appear. However, under such music education systems, outstanding piano masters have been repeatedly cultivated. Although the piano was invented by Westerners, 1.3 billion Chinese people are not as good as those trained by other schools, which is somewhat unreasonable.

Jerold Jones sat in front of the piano, bent down and moved the piano stool with both hands. He tried the distance between the front and back, and then sat on his butt, trying to be solid or not. His series of movements were proficient and natural, but casually like practicing in his own piano room.

However, his actions were very natural and did not arouse others' disgust at all.

After adjusting it, Jerold Jones put his hands on his legs, looked over the keys with his eyes, then raised his arms, and started playing like a skilled worker was about to start working!

The moment the fingers touched the keys, it seemed as if they were suddenly injected with infinite power. The moment they were flashing, a "pulling" on the keys, and a sound of piano like a sport suddenly came out of the huge Stanway!

Jerold Jones rolled his sleeves directly to his elbows, revealing two not strong but strong arms. With his "pull" power, his forearms carried a straightforward and domineering momentum, and his energy was instantly displayed!

Seeing this signature action, Liu Yufan's eyes condensed again, and his heart was dark!

It is indeed a character who has played he’sapirate. Although he played Liszt’s works, he could still see the wild and natural traces! The piano seemed to have become a tool that was too familiar to the point of being familiar to him. When he was playing the piano, he was like fiddling with his favorite toy. When he watched him play the piano, you would feel that playing the piano was such an interesting thing, and playing the piano could actually play it so passionately and in a state!

This is a guy who can mobilize his own passion for playing and can arouse others' passion for playing!

Watching him play makes it easy for you to forget that he is playing or performing, and is completely attracted by his hands on the keys.

The hands quickly swept over the keys in a tight shape, bringing a full and exciting sound stream of sound like the Yangtze River. The arms and the piano maintained a very comfortable angle, making people feel that the hands were so comfortable on the keys. Every move could bring your fingers to the place they most wanted to go. The work that the fingers had to do was to "lift" and "fall". The cooperation between the big arms, forearms, and fingers was seamless, which was amazing!

A burst of passionate chords sounded from the high pitch of the piano, but the main melody with a hint of heroic temperament sounded. This song "Mateppa" officially revealed its glory!

This melody feels a bit like Chopin's "Revolutionary Etudes". It also plays a melody composed entirely of chords with the surging sound of the left hand. The "Ludi" performance technique is interpreted vividly by Jerold Jones. Every time his wrist is raised, he will inevitably sound a chord with a faint sound of gold and stone. That kind of straightforward and decisive sound makes people feel blood boiling!

Looking at the performance of Jerrod Jones, Lang Lang's eyes finally became focused. He also discovered the extraordinaryness of this guy. In the preliminary competition, this guy only played one Liszt's piano sketch, and did not show any amazing strength. At that time, Lang Lang had not noticed him, but had some impression of his casual dressing. However, at this moment, this guy's song "Mattepa" made him feel extraordinary!

"Awesome, this is a real master!" After only a short time, Lang Lang immediately shouted in his heart.

Not only him, including Li Yundi, Valodos, Kozlowsky and many others, these players who came out of the preliminary round all saw the extraordinaryness of this guy. After the test of the preliminary round, Jerrod Jones finally showed his strength and began to show his strong strength.

Not only him, he was able to stand out from the top 50 piano players in the world, who was a simple character and Yiyou? Jerod Jones let go of his actions, but it also sounded the curtain of a more cruel rematch!

Looking at the young American pianist playing on the stage, a hint of appreciation flashed through Berezovsky's eyes. The young man's playing style was very similar to him, and even the styles of the two people's dressing were very similar. Of course, at this moment, Jerod Jones's performance was a little more ostentatious than him, but less mature. But this still couldn't hide his light. A hint of appreciation flashed in Berezovsky's eyes.

The other four judges also expressed their praise. As the top players in the world's piano world, they have long since evaluated a pianist about appearance, politeness, etc., and pointed directly at the core of the problem - piano skills. Although this pianist from the United States has a little casual appearance and seems to be polite to the judges and audiences, it is undeniable that he is still a very outstanding contestant. Just watching this wonderful song "Mattepa" proves his strong strength! In other words, he is still a contestant, otherwise he will be an outstanding pianist who can perform on the stage.

The ten fingers were flying, and each stroke was filled with a sense of pleasure and transparency. The keys seemed to be as light as nothing under his hands. A song "Mateppa" and played for more than four minutes, Jerrod Jones was calm and calm!

After the song, the audience applauded with his hands thrown high from the keys!

Liu Yufan clapped and took a deep breath at the same time. He knew that from this moment, he had to show his strength at the bottom of the box. The real game has begun! (To be continued)
