Watching Xichuan Youbai's leaving figure, Lin Tian sat back on the chair again. Unexpectedly, I would meet Yubai Nishikawa, who had become so popular with me online, in this way. Are you here to test yourself? I didn't expect that such a powerful pianist would take the initiative to befriend others because he was afraid of crashing with others. Maybe it's like Yao Han said. Maybe the competition that Lin Tian doesn't care about may be the only opportunity in this life in the eyes of other players. If he collides with himself again in the finals, it will really be a big trouble. Maybe Lin Tian himself will not threaten his ranking, but his music may put him at a disadvantage in the competition with Burke. I can understand that too. However, it is also possible that Lin Tian made up his own mind.
Maybe Nishikawa Yubai came to befriend him because he appreciated his music. As the host's speech ended, the competition officially began. Amidst the applause of the audience. Contestant No. 1 Camilo Williams takes the stage to play! The urgent piano plays. echoed in the concert hall. "." Sure enough, once we got to the finals, the intensity suddenly increased. Lin Tian had an impression of this Williams before, and it seemed that he was mentioned very frequently in the media. The strength is indeed strong. As domineering as his music. He is also very handsome, with blond hair and blue eyes, a high nose and a beard. He is a very orthodox handsome white guy. According to media reviews, this is the player most likely to win the "Most Popular Audience Award" from Nishikawa and Burke. As Williams' performance ended, the audience's overwhelming response also proved this point. "The next contestant is Watanabe Satoru." on the big screen. Williams stepped down and the host read out the name of contestant No. 2. While Lin Tian was stunned. Bang!
The door to the lounge opened. Lin Tian turned his head and was stunned. Yao Han walked in. "." Lin Tian watched helplessly as Yao Han walked in and sat down next to him. Before Lin Tian could ask. Yao Han grinned, "I'm a little nervous, come over and watch with you" What a clumsy lie! You are a pianist in the country who can sit in the tutor's seat, but still feel nervous? It must be me, an 18-year-old newcomer, who needs to be nervous, right? "The media are saying that the best rookie of this year will most likely be born between you and Mr. Watanabe. Don't you pay attention?" Yao Han turned around and started talking. "certainly." Lin Tian naturally did not refute. Although there was a little incident with Nishikawa Yubai because of the collision of music genres. But he knew very well who his real opponent was. Watanabe Satoru. Also as a newcomer with no background, he successfully advanced to the finals. And the promotion did not rely on a song that was enough to impress the media and the audience, but relied entirely on superb piano skills. Is a strong enemy. However, Lin Tian feels that the problem is not that big "Do you feel that your playing ability is not as good as others, but you can make up for it by relying on your originality. After all, this is just an exhibition match." Yao Han turned his head and suddenly showed a rather strange smile. "." Lin Tian stopped talking. What Yao Han said was indeed correct. In fact, he discovered it during the preliminary round.
In terms of playing ability, he is completely inferior to Nishikawa Yubai. However, he was able to advance in the end and gained a good reputation. It's because his songs are so well written. In addition, Lin Tian's playing ability is not as good as that of top players, but it is actually considered excellent. In the end, the stage effect was no worse than that of Yubai Nishikawa. Therefore, this incident proves that, at least in the Sakibon International Piano Competition, this compensation mechanism is feasible. Unlike the cello competition with Gan Yanyu, there is really no points awarded for composition, and the final victory depends on their interpretation of the music. "Teacher Lin Tian, this kind of mentality is not acceptable in international competitions." Yao Han sighed and said, "As a pianist, composing music is of course very important." "But if your performance ability is stuck because of this, how can you create a stage that truly impresses the world?" "." Lin Tian didn't quite understand what Yao Han meant. In other words, he didn't understand Yao Han's motive for saying this. "Just watch——" Yao Han said to Lin Tian, then he lay on the chair in a quite comfortable posture and said with a smile. On the big screen, Watanabe Satoru sat in front of the piano. The whole place was silent. Sudden-- A quick piano sound sounded. Complex melody, multiple changes. For a moment, the whole audience exclaimed. "Choose such a difficult song?!" In the lounge, a pianist couldn't help but said. Even Lin Tian noticed this strangeness. Watanabe Satoru played "Etude No. 43" by the famous musician Alvin. You can tell from the name "Etudes". This is a piece that pianists use to improvise during practice.
Including Lin Tian's previous life, many famous pianists in history. They will compose some etudes. For example, Chopin's "Etudes" (Op. 10, Op. 25) Liszt's "Super Etude". These pieces were created to help pianists find inspiration and practice their skills. These etudes often contain extremely difficult technical passages, such as fast scales, chords, octaves, finger rolls, etc. To put it bluntly. They are designed for training purposes and are deliberately difficult! Now, Watanabe Satoru plays Irwin's "Etude No. 43", which is such a piece! "(He really dares! This piece is so difficult. When I practice it myself, I can't guarantee that I won't make any mistakes. He dares to play it in the competition!)" A pianist couldn't help but sigh. "(Indeed, if there is a mistake, wouldn't the competition sentence him to death? There's no need!)" Another person also said so. In the eyes of most pianists, this is a thankless act. Because such etudes can hardly be interpreted with any theme, they are purely for the sake of showing off. Even if there are really no mistakes, it's hard to say that there is any good effect. The technique may be full, but the expressiveness and emotional power will be greatly reduced. Normal people. Who would play like this! "." At the same time. In the lounge, only one person showed a slightly serious look. Lin Tian. He knew very well the intention of Watanabe Satoru to choose this song. As the only opponent, Watanabe Satoru took a risk and chose a song that could show the infinitely high performance level. It is inevitable that Lin Tian's weakness of "poor performance ability" will be infinitely magnified. "Come for me." Lin Tian sighed.
