world number one pianist

Chapter 171 Let's go, show our...full strength!
Duo piano works not only test the strength of the performers, but also a lot of tacit understanding.

As a teacher, if you don't even have a tacit understanding with your students, then it's best not to continue teaching.

A really good teacher, when he teaches students, there will be a very strong sense of tacit understanding between the two of them.

You know what I'm going to do and I know what you're going to do.

When the tacit understanding between the teacher and the students is sufficient, the students can have sufficient progress...

This is why, in the finals, two piano works will be selected.

He Shen was sitting in the lounge behind the concert hall, watching and listening to the sound coming from a distance, his fingers were tapping the back of the chair slowly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Probably after No.1 player finished playing, he slowly opened his eyes, took out a lollipop from his pocket, and put it in his mouth.

"How do you think the No.1 player, the one from the North State Conservatory of Music, plays?"

He Shen suddenly said to Ji Mengting, Ji Mengting froze for a moment, and immediately straightened her back.

"I……"

"Don't be so nervous, before the game, the most important thing is to relax..."

"Ah? Oh..."

Ji Mengting stiffly leaned her back back again, and after thinking for a while, she spoke to He Shen.

"Teacher, I think this player's playing is relatively average. Among all the players, he can be considered to be at the middle or lower level..."

"The point is his teacher. His teacher is the accompaniment part. He played too strongly and attracted everyone's attention to him, so..."

When Ji Mengting mentioned this place, she couldn't help reaching out and tapping her chin. After raising her head and thinking for a while, she said to He Shen very seriously.

"So this person is not a threat to us!"

"Um……"

He Shen nodded and didn't say much, but continued to look at the TV screen in front of him.

At this moment, the second contestant has already appeared on the stage...

It's still a relatively ordinary performance, and it's still an interpretation that doesn't pose any threat...

but……

When the third contestant entered the field, He Shen's eyes gradually became serious, and he made a slight adjustment to his originally extremely relaxed posture to allow him to concentrate.

The third person...

Is the favorite to win!
Huaguo Conservatory of Music, a freshman—Yi Wen!
And, recognized by everyone, one of the strongest teachers of this generation, the hope of classical music in Huaguo in the future...

A young piano teacher at Huaguo Conservatory of Music...

Pei crying!

Yi Wen walked in front of the crowd, and when he reached the center of the stage, he grinned, waved to everyone, and laughed a few times.

Then, he bowed abruptly, lifted it up the moment it fell, walked to the side, sat on the piano bench, and quickly adjusted the height of his piano bench back and forth...

The whole movement was carried out very quickly without any sloppiness...

Before bowing to the audience, it was like a cutscene.

Pei Qi, who was standing on the side, looked at Yi Wen like this, and didn't say much. He also walked to the side and bowed slowly to the crowd, extremely graceful.

Pei Qi got up amidst the applause of everyone, walked to another piano in the concert hall, and sat down.

When the two of them sat down, the voices of the staff at the edge of the stage sounded immediately.

"The third group of contestants, Huaguo Conservatory of Music!"

"Player, freshman, Yi Wen!"

"Instructor: Pei Qi!"

"Performance: Rachmaninoff's Third Piano Concerto..."

As soon as the words fell, Pei Qi's hand was immediately placed on the piano, relying on the weight of the arm itself, and slowly pressed down to produce the sound of the piano.

hum...

hum...

The sound of the piano is extremely continuous, like a wave, wave after wave...

This, this feeling?

He Shen was sitting in the background, his body had unconsciously stood up, watching Pei Qi's performance in front of him, and slowly chewing the lollipop in his mouth.

Pei Qi's performance is great, very emotional, and has a feeling that he has never heard before...

Previously, it was said that the award that Pei Qi won was the silver medal in the Brahms International Piano Competition, that is, the No.2 result...

This result, whether it is good or not, is not bad.

For players who want to compete for No.1, this result is really a bit average...

But for everyone else, just hoping to win an award at an international level...

This result is really good!

So He Shen always thought that Pei Qi would be a performer with Brahms as his main work...

It's a pity, I really didn't expect that the work he is best at is not the so-called Brahms, but...

Rachmaninoff!

He Shen's eyes gradually became serious.

Pull two, pull three...

The two works, although different, are both Rachmaninoff's works.

They are completely comparable!

What I see now is the gap between myself and Pei Qi, and the gap between Ji Mengting and Yi Wen...

This gap is definitely not particularly big, but it can also be regarded as a gap...

I am currently playing Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Concerto, the accompaniment part is probably around Lv5...

The appearance of Lv5.8-Lv5.9, after all, I am only proficient in mastering this piece of work now, and there is not much research on it, the most important thing is to master the content of this piece of work.

His own understanding of this piece of work is actually not much...

If you really want to understand this work, you have to spend more time to study this work...

He Shen's body couldn't help bending forward slightly, took out a second lollipop from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and stared fixedly at Pei Qi in front of him.

Pei Qi's strength is really very strong...

This match, for myself and Ji Mengting, is really a bit difficult...

The strength of Pei Qi's work, just discussing the accompaniment part, his strength may have reached...

Lv6!

The accompaniment part of Rachmaninov's Third Piano Concerto that has reached Lv6 level...

It's just beyond one level, but this level directly crosses the class!

If I confront him head-on, I will definitely lose, and there is absolutely no room for resistance...

Yi Wen on the stage, after waiting for a while, also put his hand on the piano. The moment he came out at a certain time, he raised his hand, put it on the piano, and pressed it down suddenly.

Great……

When the voice came out, He Shen immediately looked at Ji Mengting.

On Ji Mengting's face, there was also a hint of indescribable expression.

There is fighting spirit, there is worry, there is excitement, there is fear...

All kinds of emotions mixed together, causing Ji Mengting's state of mind to experience some twists and turns...

This person, Yi Wen...

His lead vocal level is not much lower than that of Ji Mengting...

It is estimated that Mengting was trained by He Shen, which is a little bit higher than Lv4, almost Lv4.1.

Yi Wen, on the other hand, swayed around at Lv4, often staying at the level of Lv3.9-Lv4.0.

The two are still in the same range, both of them are ordinary entry-level.

The difference is not that big...

In addition, Ji Mengting's perception of music is not particularly strong, so she feels that Yi Wen's level is similar to her own!

So, she started to be a little scared, afraid that if she didn't perform well in the future, it would affect her teacher...

He Shen looked at Ji Mengting, sighed slowly, and lay his body on the back, his gaze gradually became a little unsteady.

This game, it seems...

It's really tough!
"teacher?"

Ji Mengting's voice suddenly came from behind He Shen, and He Shen turned his head to look behind him.

Ji Mengting smiled hard at He Shen.

"Teacher, come on!"

He Shen looked at Ji Mengting, pursed his lips, and couldn't help being a little silent.

Then, nodded slowly.

"Well, come on..."

The performance on the stage has gradually reached its climax.

Yi Wen's performance has already become a little crazy.

On the stage, he swayed his enthusiasm and understanding of music to the fullest...

Pei Qi stood aside and used his performance to help Yi Wen very well, making his performance a little bit restrained and not so crazy anymore.

Yi Wen is like a ball of fire, which can almost burn the whole world.

As for Pei Qi, it was water that surrounded the fire so that he would not go too far.

Anything that was too out of line was resolved by Pei Qi's own performance.

This voice, in the eyes of the group below, is very harmonious.

"What the hell? The Huaguo Conservatory of Music really deserves to be the Huaguo Conservatory of Music. You really must not underestimate them casually. Their strength really makes people feel scared..."

"That's right, I thought this year's champion must be that one. He Shenji and Mengting from Jiangzhou Normal University's Conservatory of Music were the two who took it away. I didn't expect that Huaguo could still continue to explode in this place. With such a strong strength, it is really terrifying..."

"Yes, we seem to have been completely blinded by Ji Mengting's performance before, and we have forgotten the Huaguo Conservatory of Music..."

"No matter what, the Huaguo Conservatory of Music can be regarded as the first-class conservatory in Huaguo..."

"Maybe this is the background of the great music academy..."

"Great Conservatory of Music, it's so terrifying, sucking in a mouthful of Liangpi..."

"Hiss, hiss..."

The people off the stage were completely shocked. They always felt that Jiangzhou Normal University's Conservatory of Music could surpass Huaguo Conservatory of Music and become the strongest existence.

result……

Unexpected, but not unexpected.

It's not unexpected, but it's quite surprising...

Huaguo Conservatory of Music, as a top university, a veteran university, stood up again!
Tell everyone else that the Huaguo Conservatory of Music will never allow anyone to defile it!

Huaguo Conservatory of Music is the strongest conservatory of music!

That being the case...

Everyone turned their gazes to the other side.

In a corner of the concert hall, there are people from the Haicheng Conservatory of Music.

They began to look forward to whether Haicheng Conservatory of Music could also tell everyone that Haicheng Conservatory of Music is also one of the two largest conservatories in Huaguo?

Tell everyone not to think that there is only one Huaguo Conservatory of Music in Huaguo?
Everyone doesn't know, but they are all looking forward to it!
Finally, the Huaguo Conservatory of Music had played his own work, and Yi Wen suddenly jumped up from his seat, laughing and greeting the people around him.

Thanks for everyone's support!
Then, he walked unsteadily towards the bottom of the stage.

Seeing Yi Wen like this, Pei Qi couldn't help pinching his brows, feeling a little bit of a headache.

Full of apology, he bowed slightly to the crowd, and followed Yi Wen down.

He felt that in the days to come, he could no longer let Yi Wen go on like this, and he wanted to grind Yi Wen's temper.

At the very least, let him have a little bit of respect for the game!
If you don't even have respect for the competition, how can you get the highest ranking in other competitions?

You know, in many competitions, many judges will look at the performance points of the players.

If a contestant doesn't even have respect for music, how can he get the highest ranking?

After all, not every place, like the Huaguo Conservatory of Music Competition, doesn't care about the behavior of these students, as long as they play well, it's fine!

The teachers from other schools looked at the judges form in their hands, sighed, filled in Yi Wen's name and score, and waited for the next contestant.

The next contestant, No.4 contestant is from Chuanzhou Conservatory of Music, Xuan Zheng...

She followed her teacher to the stage and began to play.

Obviously, her strength is enough, but her teacher is not enough.

There is a big gap from the previous Pei Qi...

Not to mention how big it is, but the gap between them can be felt, not imperceptible...

This already explains the problem very well.

Coupled with her teacher and her, there is not much interaction between the two of them. The overall feeling is obviously on the hard side, and it even feels like they are playing separately.

In the end, Xuanzheng and her teacher ended the competition with a very low score.

This result really made people not know what to say for a while.

Too much regret.

Contestant No.5 took the stage, and this time, the spirits of the crowd cheered up again.

Contestant No.5 is Fu Tiao from Haicheng Conservatory of Music, leading his students.

The two came to the stage, sat on the piano bench, waited for the signal to start, and started playing directly.

As the music continued, everyone's expressions gradually began to change a little bit.

Fu Tiao's performance is very good!

His playing has shown signs of surpassing Pei Qi. If you listen carefully, you can definitely hear the very slight difference between Fu Tiao and Pei Qi.

but……

There is a very big problem!
His students, no!
His students were seriously holding him back!
As an accompaniment, Fu Tiao tries to be perfect in every detail, so that people can feel comfortable when listening to it.

But his students often make some strange operations in the perfect place where Fu Tiao did...

These operations, to a large extent, have affected the aesthetics of the overall timbre, making some timbres that should be very beautiful feel a little less.

Therefore, watching Fu Tiao's performance, everyone couldn't help showing a trace of regret in their eyes.

Everything is fine, everything is fine, nothing is wrong.

Apart from his apprentices and students having problems, he can even be regarded as the most powerful teacher!

but……

After all, this is a competition with students as the main object of competition, not a competition with teachers as the main object of competition...

Everyone came to watch the competition, mostly students, to see how these students are playing, not to come to see the teacher...

If you only need to watch teacher games, why not go to those big events?

These teachers and teachers will all be players and enter those large-scale competitions to compete. Isn't that more interesting than the current one?
Everyone didn't know the reason, but they could only look at Fu Tiao's students with aggrieved eyes, and kept pulling Fu Tiao's hind legs, so that the level of expression of this work...

infinitely lower...

In the end, their journey ended in an extremely regrettable place.

Sitting in the background, He Shen also saw Fu Tiao's performance.

He is not familiar with Fu Tiao, and he doesn't know what kind of person this person is...

However, after hearing his performance, He Shen can roughly imagine what kind of existence Fu Tiao is.

One……

The man who is extremely determined and tries to make everything go towards his goal.

A very stubborn person...

He Shen touched his chin. He could hear that this piece of work was full of too many things that belonged exclusively to Fu Tiao.

The things that belong to his students basically don't have...

That is to say, the reason why this work was selected is probably because of Fu Tiao himself.

He liked this piece of work, so he asked his students to play this piece of work.

It doesn't matter at all whether the student can play to the level he wants.

In other words, he is too confident about his own level, thinking that he can directly lead the students forward just like Pei Qi!
but……

He Shen showed a trace of strangeness on his expression.

He didn't know what to say for a while...

Pei Qi wasn't pulling Yi Wen forward, he was using it as a guide to keep Yi Wen from going astray...

It was good for him, he directly pulled his students to charge forward, wanting to let the accompaniment part directly surpass the main part.

This one is really a bit difficult...

He Shen sighed, and mourned for three seconds of silence for Fu Tiao's students.

He could guess how Fu Diao would criticize his students after he got off the stage.

Anyway, He Shen got up from the sofa, rubbed his shoulders a little, looked at Ji Mengting beside him, and nodded to her.

"Get up, we need to be on stage no matter what!"

"Yeah, good teacher!"

Ji Mengting got up, He Shen took out a lollipop from his pocket and handed it to Ji Mengting.

"Before the game, eat something sweet, relax yourself, and take it easy."

"Eh?"

Ji Mengting took He Shen's lollipop with a blank face, and for some reason, she put it in her mouth without thinking too much.

Then he followed He Shen in a daze and walked out of the room from the lounge.

When walking backstage, He Shen and Fu Tiao passed by...

Fu mediation stopped, turned to look at He Shen, and Ji Mengting behind He Shen, with a deep look in his eyes.

Then, he shook his head slowly, waved to the obedient student behind him, and the two walked out of the concert hall.

And He Shen, along with Ji Mengting, came to the backstage of the contestants.

A staff member was standing backstage, holding a lot of forms in his hand.

Seeing He Shen and He Shen, he immediately picked up the paper in his hand, ran to He Shen, and handed the paper to them.

"Hello, are you the sixth contestant? Please sign here, as well as the works you are going to perform next."

"it is good……"

After He Shenji and Mengting signed the sign-in paper, the staff nodded immediately, and sent the paper to the staff who were preparing to announce.

Then quickly returned, walked in front of the two, opened the backstage door of the concert hall in front of them, and nodded slightly to the two.

"Hello, please get ready to go on stage."

He Shen looked at the light shining from the stage in front of him, nodded slowly, and spoke seriously to Ji Mengting behind him.

"Let's go, let's go on stage, no matter what, we need to show everyone on the stage our..."

"All strength!"
