Chapter 280 Qualifiers (3)

.

As soon as Huang Yan's performance began, Lu Wei immediately felt his extraordinaryness.

This chubby and cute guy just sat in front of the piano, and the chords played with his fingertips attracted everyone's attention.

Experts can tell if they have it as soon as they make a move. Huang Yan's hands, which look fleshy, are extremely agile on the piano, from a firm and clear chord to a fast and colorful color like the thunder in the sky, from weak to strong and fast. Huang Yan is extremely skillful in controlling this Hungarian Rhapsody of Lister, and has a strong infectious force in his performance.

"I am worthy of being a student of the piano department of the Central Conservatory of Music, and I am well-known." Lu Wei sighed. Just looking at Huang Yan's calmness in front of the piano can show that his piano foundation and stage experience are very good.

"This kid plays well. It seems that the qualifiers in the Chinese competition are really hidden. It is really difficult for me, a student, to win." Kong Xiangdong put his hands crossed on the table in front of the judges' seat, thinking in his heart as he watched Huang Yan's performance.

"But that's good. Only such a high-level competition can really promote his piano level. It also allows this kid to see other people's performances and may gain unexpected results."

Huang Yan's arms were freely wielding on the keys, and the arms used their strength very naturally, and there was no trace of tension or restraint.

"Hungarian Rhapsody" is a piano genre created by Liszt, known as the "piano devil". It occupies a very important position in the history of piano art and can be called "piano devil". This can be seen from Liszt's piano skills. This No. 12 Hungarian Rhapsody is based on the folk dance in Hungary, the birthplace of Liszt, with refined structure and rich and active music. But at the same time, it is quite difficult to perform. Basically, this is a concert-level repertoire.

Huang Yan's performance was very interesting. Not only did his fat hands not become a burden to his performance, but instead gave his music a special, thick and transparent tone, with a few flavors of Grand Pianist Rubenstein.

At this moment, the attention of the judges and the audience was completely attracted by Huang Yan's performance. No one paid attention to the casual clothes that were a bit out of place on the piano stage. Huang Yan's free-spirited playing posture in front of the piano gave people a very comfortable feeling.

After nearly ten minutes of performance, Huang Yan's grasp of the music was exquisite. Not only did he not have a single missound, he also played this song with a strong Hungarian folk dance rhythm into its original flavor. After Huang Yan finished playing, even many judges gently applauded.

After the performance, Huang Yan seemed to have just finished a class. He stood up casually and greeted the audience and the judges beside him, with a freehand smile on his face as if he had just finished a class.

"Okay. Thank you Huang Yan for his wonderful performance. Please wait!" Zhu Jun, who walked upstage, looked at Huang Yan who was about to step down and hurriedly called him.

Huang Yan was stunned, and then he realized that there was still melody imitation and music knowledge Q&A, and smiled embarrassedly.

"Okay, please give the judges a score for contestant No. 2 Huang Yan, please prepare for the next melody imitation link." Zhu Jun said. He signaled Huang Yan to walk to the piano. A female piano teacher from the Central Conservatory of Music had been sitting on the piano bench. After looking up and asking Huang Yan for approval, the female teacher began to play a melody.\\\\\\\\

The melody of the competition is not any known song, but a melody is written temporarily by a special composer in advance, so there is no possibility for contestants to practice in advance. Compared with students who are vocal music, this kind of melody imitation on the piano is more difficult. Because the range of the piano is much wider than that of the human vocals, and the changes in the melody are richer and the rhythm is more complex, these bring great difficulty to imitation. Therefore, this link tests the contestants' comprehensive piano quality. Not only does the skill of the hands be strong, but the ears are even better. Although there are only a short sixteen bars, it is still a big challenge to remember them after listening to them.

A melody with Chinese characteristics is transmitted from the piano. This is a typical style. Both phrases use the five-tone quotient mode, and each sounds very simple.

Just the melody of the right hand, no double notes and chords, this short piece of music was quickly finished.

Huang Yan in front of the piano closed his eyes gently and looked extremely focused. When the teacher finished playing and signaled that he could start ** Huang Yan immediately sat in front of the piano, first played a few notes gently, found the pitch position, then became quiet, recalled the melody just now, and started playing.

The melody is very short, and Huang Yan finished playing it quickly. Although there are some small differences in rhythm from the original song, the overall feeling is very good, basically restoring the original song's intention. Compared with the previous contestant Lin Feng, it is obviously much better.

The judges also showed a relatively satisfied look on their faces, and they all wrote the scores on the cardboard in front of them.

"Okay, please ask the second contestant Huang Yan to choose the music knowledge questions." Seeing that Huang Yan had completed the melody imitation part of the competition, Zhu Jun immediately said.

Huang Yan looked at the big screen behind. There were three rows of fifteen numbers on the blue background. When Lin Feng went up just now, he had already chosen the No. 1 question. He could choose any of the remaining fourteen questions.

"I'll choose Question No. 10." Huang Yan thought for a while and said to the microphone.

"Okay, Huang Yan, the second player, chose Question 10, let's take a look together." As soon as Zhu Jun finished speaking, the big screen immediately switched to a set of text.\\\\\\\

"Piano Concerto is a very important part of the piano art genre. May I ask: What are the works called the five major piano concertos? It is required to answer at least three of them." Zhu Jun looked at the words on the big screen and recited.

After thinking for a while, Huang Yan began to answer:

"There are Tchaikovsky's No. 1 Piano Concerto in Major Flat No. 1, Beethoven's No. 5 Piano Concerto in Major Flat No. 5, and..." Huang Yan lowered his head and thought for a while, and continued: "Rachmaninov's No. 2 Piano Concerto in Minor No. 2."

Huang Yan had already answered three times, and at this moment, some of the audiences who knew the answers were also whispering in a low voice.

"How is it? Are you right?"

"There should be "Fate".

"What? Is "Destiny" a symphony good?" The answer was not very certain. Looking at the question on the big screen, a look of hesitation appeared on his face.

The piano knowledge question and answer session took a total of one minute. After Huang Yan answered three songs, a few seconds later, Zhu Jun on the side spoke.

"Okay, you have answered three songs, Huang Yan, are you sure?"

When Zhu Jun asked, Huang Yan's face became even hesitant, but when he heard the clear ten-second countdown that had already appeared, he pursed his mouth, made a determined move, and said with certainty: "OK."

"Okay, sure. Next, let us ask judge Shi Shucheng to comment on contestant Huang Yan's answer."

"Okay." Shi Shucheng took the microphone beside him, and his eyes were very serious in his eyes behind the lens, and he looked at Huang Yan and said, "The title of the Five Piano Concerto was not added by the composer at that time. He was recognized and elected by everyone after many years of performance. Your answer is basically correct, Beethoven's "The Emperor", Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto and Ra II (

Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto in Minor No. 2) is one of the five major piano concertos, and there are two other songs, namely Schumann's Piano Concerto in Minor and Liszt's Piano Concerto in Major Flat. These five piano concertos are very excellent works, and every student who studies piano should know them and understand them. By the way, by the way, have you played these five songs?" Shi Shucheng asked Huang Yan on the stage with a smile.

"Yes, I have played Tchaikovsky's first piano concerto, but I have only played the first movement." Huang Yan replied with a smile.

"Oh, Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto, a very famous piece." Shi Shucheng said when he heard Huang Yan's answer. Almost few people who have learned piano have never heard of this famous piano concerto. After reaching a certain level, he became the most popular piano concerto for many piano students. Shi Shucheng was not surprised that Huang Yan had practiced this piece. "Have you played it twice?" Shi Shucheng continued to ask.

"Not yet, that's too difficult." Huang Yan said with a silly smile.

"Oh, hehe, it doesn't matter, take your time, your performance is good, you are very flexible, keep working hard!" Shi Shucheng said with an encouraging smile.

"Thank you, Teacher Shi." Huang Yan nodded immediately after hearing Shi Shucheng's encouragement.

Shi Shucheng's comments also won enthusiastic applause from the audience.
