The song "Second Hungarian Piano Rhapsody" shows Sun Yingdi's perfect skills and musical expression without reservation. It can be called "original Liszt", which shows how sure Sun Yingdi is of Liszt's work.

At the end of the song, Sun Yingdi regained her calm temperament, stood up from the piano with a smile, and greeted the judges and the audience. If he hadn't just watched his performance, it would be hard to imagine that such a passionate melody would burst out from his slender fingers. The super skill that was just known as "Liszt's octave jump" just now made the judges and the audience dizzy and breathtaking.

In the following melody imitation and music knowledge, Sun Yingdi's performance was also perfect. Sun Yingdi imitated a sixteen-bar melody almost without error. You know, in the final, these melody were all difficult. Not only did there be more temporary changes, but also occasionally added double notes. Although it is the simplest third or fourth degrees, because it is mixed with a fixed melody, it is a huge challenge to each contestant's ears. In the music knowledge part, Sun Yingdi was lucky and just got a question about Lister. For him who is good at playing Lister, it is naturally no problem to answer.

Although he was the first to appear, because of Sun Yingdi's outstanding performance, this not only did not become his disadvantage, but instead played a leading role. The score of 98.8 points not only won the enthusiastic applause of the audience, but also put huge pressure on the contestants behind him.

In the contestant's lounge, Lu Wei was chatting with Xiao Nan. After the last "Star Sea Cup", Lu Wei had a deep impression of this strong personality Xiao Nan. He actually withdrew from the competition because he was disqualified. He is probably not able to do such a move.

"This Sun Yingdi is very strong! Even if you are in our school, you will be top-notch!" Xiao Nan said, looking at Sun Yingdi, who had just finished the competition.

"Yes, this song "Second Hungarian Piano Rhapsody" just now is the best Liszt I have ever heard." Lu Wei continued Xiao Nan's words and said that Lu Wei did not show much surprise at Sun Yingdi's outstanding performance. After all, in his previous life, Lu Wei knew about Sun Yingdi's achievements in piano. Now he has not yet gone to the Netherlands to participate in Liszt's piano competition, but Lu Wei knew. It was in that competition that Sun Yingdi beat the group in an environment with strong hands.

Xiong stood out and won the championship in one fell swoop, and then entered his career as a professional pianist. Although he performed dozens of performances every year and could not be compared with stars like Lang Lang, this does not mean that his level is inferior to Lang Lang. He himself once said that he is a person who pursues perfection. Every time he competes, he will ask his physical condition to be at its best, otherwise he would rather not perform. It is this attitude towards excellence in art that has created his future glory.

"Oh. After that Xinghai Cup, I was greatly hit after watching your performance. I went back and practiced seriously for so long. I have always aimed at you. Now it seems that I am not the only one of my opponents." Xiao Nan sighed and said.

"Haha, you can't say that. Your skills are already very good. I bet that there will definitely be a place left for you to qualify tonight." Lu Wei said with a smile. He had seen Xiao Nan play the role of him, so he naturally knew what level Xiao Nan's level was at. Qualifying and getting a place. As long as he performed normally, there should be no problem. Lu Wei said this, but it was not deliberately good to say it. However, it was a bit more difficult to win the final game.

"I hope so, you have to work hard and play well. In the previous preliminaries, these guys performed too strongly." Xiao Nan said with a smile.

The two were chatting, and host Zhou Tao had already started calling the next contestant.

"Next, let's invite the second contestant. From the Julia Conservatory of Music - Qin Chuan! The participant he brought was the work of the modernist composer Messien: "The Holy Infant·Looking Back"!"

As soon as Zhou Tao finished speaking, Qin Chuan stood up and walked towards the stage. Just now, when many contestants were chatting casually to relieve the tension before the competition, he was always like this. He sat in a corner, quietly closing his eyes. At this moment, Qin Chuan just got together, his body exuded a completely different temperament from the quietness just now. His eyes were bright and clear. His whole body seemed to be full of vitality. This rapid change made many contestants see it. He couldn't help but feel tight. He entered the state so quickly. Qin Chuan was not an Yi person.

Compared with these contestants, Qin Chuan, born in 1975, can be regarded as an old contestant. However, this competition does not stipulate the age of the contestants in the competition. As long as they are over 16 years old, they can participate in the competition.

Qin Chuan was wearing a gray evening dress with a plaid. His long and round face always had a sense of humility. A pair of round lenses were placed on the bridge of his nose, which exuded a May Fourth youth-like temperament.

Compared with pianists like Li Yundi, Lu Wei, Sun Yingdi, who are growing up, Qin Chuan is already famous. As early as 1990, Qin Chuan won the championship in the Maria Carrals International Piano Competition in Barcelona at the age of 15. Since then, he has won the first place in the Julia Gena Bacall International Piano Competition in the United States. He has participated in several international piano competitions. He naturally has a more stable psychological quality than other contestants.

After bowing to the judges and the audience with great standards and grace, Qin Chuan sat neatly in front of the piano. After adjusting the distance, he was quiet for a moment. Then he raised his hands and gently played the song "Holy Infant·Looking Back" in Messien!

After a gentle little sentence, Qin Chuan's hands quickly popped up a lower phrase. At first glance, it seemed irregular, but it had some strange color, like a bird that was startled and flew away quickly in the primeval forest that was rays of light.

Immediately, several low octaves were played in succession with his left hand. In this place, Qin Chuan stepped on the pedal continuously, causing the piano to make a huge resonance sound.

The whole performance was less than four minutes. The music was always composed of this monotonous hand rapid downward, paired with the heavy bass with a strong sense of heavy metal. But every phrase had a slight change.

Watching Qin Chuandi play, Lu Wei had to admire his perseverance. As a 20th-century piano composer, Messian's works can be said to be relatively rare in piano works. Few pianists are willing to touch his works. The reason is very simple. Messian's works use a large number of non-modal, almost impressionist writing techniques, and almost every phrase is irregular and full of changes. This makes it take several times or dozens of times to memorize a piece of Messian's work of messian than memorizes Beethoven or Mozart's. Lu Wei once practiced a piece of Messian's work "The Awakening of the Bird" at the request of Kong Xiangdong.

That can be said to be the most painful period of Lu Wei. However, it took Lu Wei more than two weeks to play several musical scores "barely" but when it comes to musical expression, it is impossible to say. During that time, Lu Wei once hated the piano very much. He didn't even want to touch it because of this song. A large number of irregular and fast phrases, like the most exaggerated impressionist oil paintings, messy musical scores. Countless frequent strength, speed, and expression marks, Lu Wei was almost forced to go crazy by this song. At the same time, Lu Wei could almost recite three to four sonatas. For the first time, Lu Wei felt powerless in the face of the musical score.

Another reason why pianists are unwilling to play Messian's works is because the audience of his works is too narrow. Messian's works have almost subverted all traditional creative techniques. He strives to use a single sound to express a variety of things, such as vision, touch, and taste... It is just that to reach this level, it is not only a huge challenge for pianists, but also an almost impossible task for the listener. After all, you cannot require all audiences to have the level of appreciation like Kong Xiangdong! Most audiences cannot hear the beauty of Messian's works. Just like at this moment, many viewers in the audience have already frowned.

"What is this guy playing? I'm just playing. Why do I look like I'm playing blindly?"

"No, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, they are the third group of champions

"What kind of fun is not good at all!" Looking at Qin Chuan's playing and enjoying appearance, Lu Wei had to admit that Qin Chuan was indeed different from ordinary people. Lu Wei looked at the judges, but found that Kong Xiangdong looked like he was enjoying himself. Lu Wei couldn't help but remember the situation of him and Belov at the concert a few days ago.

"It seems that Teacher Kong likes Messien's works very much. I don't know how much he can give Qin Chuan the next score." Lu Wei thought to himself.

Among several huge, roaring chords, Qin Chuan ended the song "Holy Infant·Looking Back", and the audience in the audience finally breathed a sigh of relief as if they were relieved, praying in their hearts that the contestants should not play this kind of song again next time.

In the next part, Qin Chuan showed extremely high musical literacy, melody imitation and music knowledge, all of which were accurate. Coupled with his performance just now, Qin Chuan scored a high score of 98.5. Although it was slightly lower than Sun Yingdi in front, it was still considered an extremely high score.

Of course, many viewers don’t understand Qin Chuan’s scores very well, but after all, they are not judges, so they can only talk about it below.

The next player who appeared was Li Yundi, who was sitting not far from Lu Wei. This thin boy with long hair sighed when he heard the host say his name, and then walked up.
