Chapter 67 Write me a score
The applause lasted for more than a minute, and everyone used the applause to express their love for this unknown song and their gratitude for Lu Wei's wonderful performance.
Lu Wei had to bow several times to thank him, but the applause seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.
Finally, the teacher who was in charge of the competition interrupted everyone's applause and said, "It's such a wonderful performance. This song has changed my view on pop piano. Perhaps, I think I have already liked pop piano, at least I liked this song (the students and teachers below laughed). Lu Wei, can you tell me the name of this song? Oh, sorry, I forgot, this is an improvisational variation session, and the song has no name. Let's ask the judges to make some wonderful comments." As he said, he smiled and signaled to the judges.
Kong Xiangdong, who was sitting in the middle, did not hide the admiration on his face at all, picked up the microphone and said, "It's very good, very good! If I remember correctly, the prototype of this song created using Canon's techniques should be "Variationsonthe Canon" in American pianist George Winston's album "December", Kong Xiangdong said with a smile.
"Yes, Teacher Kong, this is based on Canon of George Winston," Lu Wei replied.
"The technique is very novel and the adaptation is also very beautiful. Did you write it yourself?" Kong Xiangdong said with a look of surprise.
"Yes, Teacher Kong, I really like Winston's Canon. This competition happened to have a harmony formula that matched the Canon melody, so I wrote a new Canon based on that song and added some of my own understanding of this song." Lu Wei continued.
"Very good, you adapted it very well, especially the polyphonic part, which is very lively and plays very well. Just as the host said just now, this song should have a name. You can give her a name now. I think everyone is looking forward to it." Kong Xiangdong said with a smile.
"Teacher Kong, since this song is written in Canon's technique, I don't think I need to name it anymore, just call it Canon." Lu Wei said casually.
"Not bad! Canon, not bad!" Kong Xiangdong said two good things, and continued, "I personally gave you 98 points for your performance. The reason why I deducted you two points is that I hope you are not proud, continue to work hard, and strive to write more such good songs in the future. By the way, just say it casually, and write me a score after the competition." Kong Xiangdong made a humorous expression, which made the audience laugh.
With Kong Xiangdong's lead, several other judges gave high scores, the lowest score was 96, and two judges even gave full scores, which shows their love for this song.
"Thank you, Teacher Kong! Thank you, judges! Thank you everyone!" Lu Weilian said three thanks, turned around and walked off the stage.
Looking at Lu Wei walking towards the contestant area, a trace of brightness flashed across Dong Kun's face. He thought that this piano ring competition was the stage he showed. The variation written by Teacher Kong for him would definitely become the focus of the audience. Unexpectedly, Lu Wei, who came from the general master, actually stole all his attention with a Canon variation, and he was not angry at all. Just now, the beautiful Canon had completely moved her, and at the same time, excited.
She became competitive. After learning piano with Teacher Kong for several years, she always believed that her level had far surpassed her classmates around her. Even compared with students from some professional music schools, she was still the best. After reading Lu Wei's performance just now, although she also admired the Canon he wrote, Dong Kun still believed that if he only talked about piano skills, his level was still the first. Thinking of the songs he would play in the afternoon, Dong Kun was full of confidence.
After Lu Wei's competition, the contestants who participated in this competition were affected to varying degrees. After all, Lu Wei's performance was so outstanding that they put a lot of pressure on them. Several classmates even went up to play for a short period and then hurriedly ended the performance, which made several judges shake their heads repeatedly.
Because the players behind were performing poorly, the second half of the game was obviously faster. The morning schedule was scheduled to end around 11:40, but all of them were finished before 11:20. After a brief rating, Lu Wei ranked first in the theme improvisational variations with a score of 98.5, Dong Kun ranked second, and third place was won by a boy from Nanshi. Although Lu Wei's score in this link was good, it was obvious that the other students of Chang's class were much weaker in this link than Nanshi. Not to mention the written test scores that had not yet been released, just from the total number of listening and the results of the previous link, Lu Wei has become a situation of fighting alone. The four and five students behind him are all from Nanshi.
Li Deqian in the stands couldn't help but be full of worry again. If Lu Wei performed poorly in the afternoon, the entire piano ring was wiped out this time. Although Lu Wei's performance just now was excellent, Dong Kun's performance was also very eye-catching. Moreover, as a student of Kong Xiangdong, he must be the strongest in piano performance. Can Lu Wei's performance in the afternoon win?
Compared with Li Deqian's concerns, other students in the stands showed great enthusiasm for Lu Wei. As soon as the host's teacher announced the end of the morning competition, Lu Wei was surrounded by a group of students who liked piano. For a moment, strange problems came to his face.
"Lu Wei, the song you just now, Kanon is so nice. Do you have a score? Can you give me one?" This is the majority of the calls.
"Lu Wei, you're so good at organizing. If you have time, I'm learning to compose music too." A boy said.
"Lu Wei, do you have a girlfriend?" I don't know which girl shouted loudly, which caused a burst of laughter.
Lu Wei was so angry that the students who studied music were different, so it was a bit too unrestrained.
After struggling to break through the siege, Lu Wei saw Kang Xiaoling smiling at him at the door, hurriedly ran over and said repeatedly: "Master, go quickly, this is a bit too crazy."
Kang Xiaoling smiled and said, "Congratulations on your success in the song, apprentice, I see many girls who are discharged from you and are numbed."
"Don't tease me, master, I am a good comrade with a firm stance. This kind of beauty trick is not good for your apprentice." Lu Wei said, holding Kang Xiaoling's hand and walking quickly outside the auditorium door.
Li Deqian and several classmates from Master Chang were also waiting for Lu Wei at the door. Seeing Lu Wei coming out, Li Deqian smiled and said, "I really can't tell Lu Wei. You have prepared such a song and surpassed Dong Kun in one go. It's really good. You don't know, this Dong Kun is..." Just as he was about to say that Dong Kun is a student of Kong Xiangdong, Li Deqian swallowed the words he said, thinking that he would rather not tell him now, so as not to be under pressure in the afternoon game.
"What's wrong with Dong Kun, Teacher Li?" Lu Wei asked when he saw that Li Deqian had not finished speaking.
"Well, her performance in the morning was also very good. You can't be careless in the afternoon. You must be good at knowing it?" Li Deqian said after a change of topic.
"I understand, Teacher Li, don't worry, I will definitely get the first one back for you!" Lu Wei said confidently.
"That's good, but don't have ideological pressure. As long as you can play your usual level of playing in school, there will be no problem! Let's go for a meal!" Li Deqian encouraged Lu Wei, then turned around and greeted the classmates next to him, and walked towards the Nanshi's restaurant.
The lunch was prepared very richly. Because Nanshi was very close to the sea, it served a lot of fresh seafood, which tasted very delicious.
During the meal, Li Deqian asked Zhang Liming about the situation in the morning art competition, who was sitting at the table. Zhang Liming said happily: "Of course it's okay. We are both outstanding in sketching, Chinese painting and oil painting. Only the champion of watercolor was taken away by them. We have an art class. By the way, how are you there?"
Hearing Zhang Liming ask, Li Deqian said: "The result of the piano will not come out until the afternoon. The champions of vocal music, brass and electric vocal music have been taken away by them. We only have one of the best results and are second place, but we have brought the champion of folk music. It is Ma Junqing's flute solo "The New Song of the Herdsman""
"Oh, it's almost the same as last year," said Zhang Liming.
"That's not necessarily true. Maybe there will be unexpected surprises in the afternoon?" Li Deqian said with a smile.
"Surprise? Master Nan's keyboard has always been a strong point. Some of our students participating in the competition this time are particularly good?" Zhang Liming asked.
"Keep it a secret for the time being," Li Deqian said mysteriously, causing Zhang Liming to curse: "Old guy, I'm still pretending to be with me! Then I'll wait for your good news to see if the piano champion who hasn't won in the past three years can be won back this year."
