world number one pianist

Chapter 201 Battle
The next day.

After He Shen won all 24 works of Chopin's etudes, everything returned to calm.

He Shen just waited for his body to recover a little bit and was no longer so weak, then continued to resume the previous practice method.

A dark way of practicing.

It's just that this time is different from before. He Shen didn't use the students from Haicheng Conservatory of Music as his logistics team.

After all, those students are really irresponsible!

Zhou San and the vice president of the Haicheng Conservatory of Music were all a little scared about this. They really didn't know what would happen if He Shen was really starved to death.

If I didn't guess wrong...

Haicheng Conservatory of Music will be in bad luck!
Therefore, the vice-principal of Haicheng Conservatory of Music sent those people, all the people involved in this matter in the Volunteer Association.

Except for those who work hard in the early stage, those who want to fish for a long time in the later stage.One counted as one, and all were criticized in a circular.

Enough to get into the circular criticism in the archives!

It's no small matter that China's top musicians almost starve to death because of their own selfish desires!
It was precisely because of this situation that the vice president of Haicheng Conservatory of Music let go of taking care of He Shen and handed it over to other people.

That is Wednesday, the few people he brought over from Jiangzhou himself!

Ji Mengting and the two unlucky ones.

The few of them were fully responsible for He Shen's normal daily life and meals.

It is guaranteed that He Shen will not collapse again because of lack of food.

He Shen is no longer worried about these food matters, he can continue to lock himself in that small room with peace of mind, keep looking at the works in front of him, and continue to analyze.

Through Chopin's two full years of memory, He Shen can more and more feel the soul in Chopin's music,
in particular……

In the second half of the memory, He Shen basically regarded himself as Chopin, and felt that he was Chopin.

I felt that these works were not written by Chopin at all, but by He Shen himself.

Therefore, for these works, He Shen was already at Lv9 level when they first came out, close to Lv10!

This kind can almost win the Chopin International Piano Competition, the level of the junior champion.

It's a pity that this year is a new year, and Lv9 is still a bit overhanging, so Lv10 is considered safe.

Therefore, He Shen put other work aside for the time being, and took less than half a month to pull Chopin's 24 etudes from Lv9 to a stable level of Lv10.

Then it took another month to pull these works of mine to the peak of stable Lv10.

That is the same as the previous works.

So far, He Shen's first round and second round of etude works will no longer have any regrets.

Another piece of his hole was filled.

What he lacks now is only Chopin's mazurka and waltz.

And these works, with the arrival of Danyi, have also been very effectively resolved.

As a veteran piano teacher, Danyi has a keenness for piano competitions that He Shen has not been able to achieve in several years.

Therefore, without any hesitation, Danyi directly helped He Shen find a few works that are most suitable for participating in the Chopin International Piano Competition.Let He Shen practice.

These works are all in line with He Shen's own style.

Emotions are full, but there is no need to be too raging.

Emotional, but not overly sentimental.

He Shen's interpretation of these works whose emotions tend to be in the middle is better than those works that release emotions.

Crazy release of their own emotions, this is anyone, everyone knows how to do it.

Isn't it just using force to make the contrast extremely strong and make everything look more fierce?

Many people can do these things, and do them very well.

It's a pity that this is not so comfortable for a person like He Shen who has a relatively stable mood.

He couldn't release his emotions too strongly.

Therefore, in works that do not need to express their emotions too strongly, Danyi has to praise He Shen's control of emotions.

"I have to say, your Chopin Mazurka is improving really fast! It scares me a bit!"

"If you hadn't popped up in front of me bit by bit, I would have thought you were possessed by Chopin!"

But Yi couldn't help complaining after looking at the extremely serious He Shen.

He has taught so many students, and it is really rare that He Shen has improved so fast, so rare that he doesn't even know what to say.

The last one who was as talented as He Shen was Li Diyun, the one who went in for 15 days.

The one who won the 20th Chopin International Piano Competition!
He Shen looked at the music score in front of him, didn't speak, just sat there, propped his chin with his fingers, and looked at the music score in front of him very quietly.

His eyes are calm and his brows are slightly clustered.

The mazurkas and waltzes that Dan Yi requested by name have all reached the level of Lv8, which is still a little bit far from Lv9.

And this distance, He Shen has not found it yet.

He didn't feel his peak at this point, and he didn't feel the sense of shackles that he couldn't go any further.

If it's just like this, it's okay, maybe he doesn't have the need to break through this barrier.

However, the question is...

Although he could feel his progress, the progress was very slow, countless times slower than in the previous few months, almost at the speed of a turtle crawling.

In the past, it might be possible to improve by 0.1 every day. From Lv8.1 to Lv8.9, it would take 10 days.

But now, after his Lv8.9, his daily progress is probably like Lv8.903, Lv8.906...

I don't know when I can upgrade from Lv8.9 to Lv9.

That is to say, from ordinary people who can reach the peak of the specialization level, to the master level that can only be reached by masters!
Feeling, it's too difficult...

Thinking of this, He Shen couldn't help sighing, shook his head, helplessly put away the sheet music in his hand, opened a new sheet music, and planned to play something else to change his mood.

But Yi looked at He Shen like this, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

He has been a teacher for so long, how could he not know what the students were thinking when they showed such expressions!
Without any hesitation, Dan Yi immediately reached out and slapped He Shen's head hard, feeling uneasy.

"Don't go too far, let me tell you, among all the students I have taught, your strength has improved the fastest, and you are not satisfied, do you want to fly?"

"I'll give you the system in the novel directly, it will enlighten you, and let you go from an ordinary person to the world's number one pianist, okay?"

"Really, I'm still not satisfied with making such rapid progress, I don't know why I'm so impetuous all day long!"

Dan Yi stood up while talking, patted the slightly wrinkled clothes on his body, and continued following He Shen.

"Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner. The results of the preliminary test will be out after a while tonight. It's just for you to relax and relax a little bit."

"When today is over and you are going to the Chopin International Piano Competition, the Chopin Concert Hall in Poland, it will not be so easy..."

Let's talk, Danyi shook his head and prepared to go out with his hands behind his back.

Ji Mengting was sitting at the door flipping through the music score, when she suddenly found the door opened, He Shen and Dan Yi walked out of the room, they couldn't help being pleasantly surprised.

"Teacher He, but teacher! You are out!"

"Jiangzhou Normal University sent us a package just now. It was written in English or something. It was an international package!"

"Mr. He, do you think the notification letter for your competition has come?"

Ji Mengting handed a small package to He Shen. He Shen took a look at Dan Yi and opened it without any hesitation.

Among them, there is a certificate and a notice with one thing written in Polish, English, French, and German.

He Shen's English is relatively average, probably at the level of passing the college entrance examination with a low score.

But He Shen's Polish has gradually reached the level of a native speaker. He immediately noticed the Polish and read it slowly according to the Polish pronunciation.

"Dear contestants, we are very excited to congratulate you on your successful qualification for the preliminaries of the Chopin International Piano Competition!"

"I implore you to sign in in front of the Warsaw Opera House before October 10.1st. You will play the qualifiers at the sub-venue on October 10.6th."

"From 160 contestants around the world, 80 people will be selected to enter the Chopin Concert Hall and participate in the first round of competition!"

"I wish you a satisfactory ranking!"

"Friendly wishes!"

"Chopin International Piano Competition Organizing Committee."

When Dan Yi saw this notice, he couldn't help smiling. He had seen this notice from Li Diyun before.

Therefore, he immediately understood that He Shen had successfully entered the preliminary round.

Although, this has been expected for a long time, and He Shen has long known that He Shen will definitely enter the preliminary round.

But when he actually saw this scene, he still couldn't help feeling that his heart was in his stomach.

You can fall at any step, but don't fall at the first step!

Especially, when everyone is waiting for you to win the championship, you fall in the first step...

Although I don't know where He Shen learned Polish, but anyway, it is enough for He Shen to enter the Chopin International Piano Competition.

Ji Mengting was looking at He Shen expectantly, and asked anxiously.

"Teacher He? How is it going? Did you go in? Did you successfully enter the qualifiers for the Chopin International Piano Competition?"

He Shen looked at Ji Mengting who was extremely anxious in front of him, smiled and nodded slightly.

"Well, let's go in."

"Great!"

Ji Mengting jumped up suddenly, opened her hands and cheered.

"Teacher He, I knew you would be able to!"

"Ah."

He Shen looked at Ji Mengting with a smile, but didn't speak.

He also breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that he successfully entered the qualifiers of the Chopin International Piano Competition.

The pressure from the constant practice these days was a little bit heavy, so big that he couldn't bear it for a while.

But fortunately, now he has entered the game...

Next, the most important thing is to win the championship!

……

At this moment, the entire Huaguo classical music circle was shaken.

At 19:30 p.m. China time and 13:30 p.m. local time in Warsaw, the Organizing Committee of the Chopin International Piano Competition held a press conference to announce that the list for the qualifiers had appeared.

There are a total of 502 contestants who signed up for this session, which is the largest number of applicants in the previous Chopin International Piano Competition.

And this time, because there are too many good seedlings, the number of people in the qualifiers is a few more than before.

Usually there are 160 people, but this time, it reached a full 164 people!
According to the report of the Chopin International Piano Competition Organizing Committee, among the 502 participants, 58% are from Asia, 32% are from Europe, 9% are from North America, and 1% are from Australia.

Among the 164 people who advanced to the qualifiers of the Chopin International Piano Competition, a full 34 people came from Huaguo.

However, less than half of these 34 people are studying at domestic music academies in China, and most of them are studying at major music academies around the world...

And some people from the three small places on the edge of Huaguo.

"Excuse me, there are a lot of people in Huaguo this year! Show off our prestige!"

"Indeed, I thought He Shen was the only one who was shortlisted, but there are so many people!"

"It's just the qualifiers for the Chopin International Piano Competition. Let's watch after the qualifiers are over. Anyway, it's just the beginning, and the qualifiers don't represent the final situation."

"That's right, you can't put all your eggs in one basket after all. Even though we know that He Shen has the highest chance of winning the championship, it's impossible to assign He Shen alone!"

"The more people there are, the higher the chances of winning the lottery, maybe? I feel that this year may be the most promising year!"

"That's right, I thought so too. We got off to a good start this year. At the beginning, more than 30 people entered the competition, a full one-fifth! We can definitely win!"

"That's right! That's it!"

"I feel the same way too! There is hope this year!"

"But after watching so many, I still feel that He Shen plays the best, most emotional..."

"After all, he is the pianist recommended by Huaguo. This is normal. I hope he is the most hopeful this year! I bet he will win the championship! The championship is under his control!"

"Don't underestimate the team next door, Dongpu, the sticks are not weak. Dongpu has several big shots here, such as the one who entered the finals last time..."

"Well, the same is true for those people in Poland. Their strength should not be underestimated!"

"I looked around, and there are not many weak people. Just looking at the background, the weakest one is a person from Japan..."

"What are you talking about? A Ph.D. from Dongda University School of Medicine? That's really strong. Ph.D. Ren has defeated so many professional pianists purely because of his hobby. I'm a little curious about how far this Ph.D. can go..."

"If you put it that way, He Shen is the one with the weakest academic qualifications. Well, Jiangzhou Normal University's Conservatory of Music, everyone else is a large conservatory, and there is even a Dongda University. Why are you here to join in the fun with the Conservatory of Normal University? ah?"

"That's right, look over there, Huaguo Conservatory of Music, Berlin University of the Arts, Curtis Institute of Music, Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Music, there are too many big bosses, and there is no one who is weak!"

"This year feels...it's going to look great!"
