world number one pianist

Chapter 209 Chen Sa!

Only two or three days after the preliminaries of the main competition of the Chopin International Piano Competition, the official publicity began!
In the whole city, every corner is marked with the sign of the Chopin International Piano Competition!
At the same time, tickets for the Chopin International Piano Competition are officially available to audiences all over the world. It is no longer the same as the previous qualifiers, but only those audiences in the industry can purchase tickets.

In addition to these external performances, there is another thing that deserves everyone's attention, and that is...

All the famous pianists in the world have now officially entered the work of the judging panel.

The previous qualifiers were just a very basic list of judges. In addition to the professors from the world's top music schools, the other judges were some of the top six contestants in the past.

After these contestants successfully won the noun, they did not have the same one from Japan. They chose to compete again to see if they could win a higher ranking.

They directly chose to give up, and just guarded their rankings to see if they could get a higher ranking in other competitions.

After all, the Chopin International Piano Competition is not the only piano competition.

No matter how high the level is, it is only one of the four major piano competitions in the world.

Therefore, there is absolutely no need to hang yourself from a tree.

Those who did not continue to compete for rankings in the Chopin International Piano Competition finally came back this time to see the new generation of players and see how strong they are.

Argerich, who just gave He Shen a little points before, appeared directly at the scene as the judge of the main competition, and Deng Songshan and others who came to watch before.

Zimmerman, who was already a little gray-haired, came to the scene!

These most famous pianists in the world, all of them also served as the judges of the main competition and appeared on the judges' seats.

Even in China, a judge came.

However, this judge is not Li Diyun, who was the former winner of the Chopin International Piano Competition, but Chen Sa!

As the No.5 of the Chopin International Piano Competition that year, Chen Sa also has the qualifications of judges.

In addition, she herself has been working hard in the classical music industry, and she still holds concerts in various places around the world, trying to find her own music path.

Without any doubt, she came directly to the scene of the Chopin International Piano Competition. In this place where she had fought more than ten years ago, as a judge, she came back to see how powerful the new generation of players is!

It's a pity that He Shen doesn't care about this. After he stunned the second year of high school who didn't know where he came from yesterday and was full of strange music understanding, he devoted all his energy to the Chopin International Piano Competition. Race selection!
He was sitting in his piano room, quickly flipping through the two books of Chopin etudes that were about to rot.

The main selection of the Chopin International Piano Competition is the same as the previous qualifiers, and even the video selection of the previous qualifiers.

You need to play a total of 30 minutes of works, and you need to play two Chopin etudes, just choose two from op10 and op25 works.

He Shen didn't have any hesitation at this place, and directly chose the two most famous Chopin etudes!
Dongfeng etude, and third degree etude.

Needless to say, the Dongfeng etude is a very difficult and perverted work in the consensus of everyone!

In terms of difficulty, it can basically be regarded as the top level of Chopin's etudes. It can be more difficult than this piece of work, and basically there is only one left.

That is Chopin's Op25, No6's third etude.

The third-degree etude, the difficulty of this work is directly at the peak level of the entire Chopin etude.

This level of difficulty can even be directly compared with the "wild-wisp" by the showmanship madman Liszt.

After all, He Shen's Chopin etudes have basically been practiced to the master level, which is the level of Lv10.

Maybe it's still a little short of the peak of Lv10...

But in this world, they can already be regarded as rare high-level performances.

In addition to these two rare works, He Shen hesitated and chose Chopin's Nocturne, which is also the one that Danyi told him before, Chopin's Nocturne Op35.
And a Chopin Ballade, Chopin Piano Ballade No. [-].

These works are basically very powerful works in He Shen's repertoire library!

He Shen even dared to use these works to compete for the No.1 position with everyone!

No.1 in the first round of the Chopin International Piano Competition!
If he can get the No.1 position in the main race, then the road behind him can be completely easier, much easier.

After all, the final result of the Chopin International Piano Competition is not just a ballad by Chopin.

To be precise, the score of Chopin Ballade in the overall final score is actually not particularly high, it is just an ordinary work.

The competition of the Chopin International Piano Competition is to look at all the works, collect all the scores together, and calculate the player with the highest average score.

This is why in recent years, those players whose level is particularly stable and who are not outstanding in each game as a whole can win in the finals.

They are just eating the second No.3 results in each round, so that the overall score can reach the No.1 position, and securely win the final victory.

This is called, make a fortune in silence!
And He Shen didn't intend to do that...

All he thinks now is only one thing!
That is to use his strongest strength to directly crush all of these people and win the final victory!

Therefore, He Shen put all his attention on the work he was going to perform next, and did not give himself any chance to rest.

Allow yourself to compete against other players from all over the world in the best condition.

For example, the one who studied with Deng Songshan, the perfect hexagonal fighter, the Maple Leaf native without any weakness at all...

For example, the one from Japan, the last finalist, five years later, how much her strength has increased, no one knows at all.

There is also the one from Xiongguo, her performance is full of the professional beauty of the Russian school.

There are many other players, and each player has their own special strengths. You have no idea where these players who seem to be a little lower than you are secretly hiding their tricks. At a very critical moment, they suddenly give Come here!
After all, none of the contestants who can enter the Chopin International Piano Competition are mediocre!

All of them are the most powerful pianists among the younger generation in this world!
After defeating hundreds of thousands of piano boys in their country, they stepped out in front of them, walked into this world, and played on behalf of their country!

For example, the more than 30 players from Huaguo who managed to make it this year...

You must know the number of piano boys in Huaguo. According to the calculations of the examination and approval department, these piano boys have exceeded 3000 million, and the number is constantly increasing at a rate of 300 million every year!
And these 300 million people, every five years, can only get out of such a few people...

1500 people, out of 30 people...

Only one out of 50 people can come out like this!
This can already be regarded as one in a hundred thousand!

And this is just to have the qualifications to embark on a professional path, and the more difficult ones will come later!

He Shen slowly closed his eyes, trying his best to forget the pressure from his surroundings, and let his attention be completely on the music he was going to play.

Let yourself be immersed in the music as much as possible, and feel the road you have in the music!
That road that gives up its own existence and completely shows Chopin's feeling!
Dan Yi sat on the side, just smiled and looked at He Shen, watching He Shen on the piano, vigorously interpreting what he thought in his heart, without saying anything, just watching.

It wasn't until He Shen occasionally walked into a dead end that he reluctantly opened his mouth to remind him, making He Shen look back and think about his previous playing mistakes.

But even if Yi wants to teach He Shen something new now, it's too late...

The level of He Shen's current works is completely beyond the reach of teachers like them, no matter how hard they click.

He Shen was able to go from Lv8 to Lv9 before, this is still possible...

After all, from Lv8 to Lv9, they have seen a lot, and these teachers can also complete a few Lv9 works by themselves.

From Lv10 to LvEX, let alone He Shen, these teachers have never seen a few of them, let alone mention them.

It was enough to tell He Shen not to keep digging into a certain corner, and let him turn his gaze back a little bit.

Other than that, they have nothing else to do...

While He Shen was practicing non-stop, there was a sudden knock on the door of the piano room.

dong dong dong...

He Shen paused slowly, raised his head to look at the door next to him, and Danyi who was sitting by the door, frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice.

"Who?"

After a while outside the door, there was a sassy voice, and she spoke to the door very bluntly.

"Hello, is Teacher Danyi here? I'm Chen Sa!"

"Chen Sa?"

He Shen didn't react for a while, after all, he didn't care much about celebrities in the classical music circle in China.

But Dan Yi, who was sitting on the side, immediately reacted when he heard Chen Sa's voice.

Dan Yi got up, stretched out his hand and opened the door, nodded to Chen Sa outside the door, and frowned slightly.

"Chen Sa? Why are you here? You... won't you be taboo when you come here?"

"Breaking a taboo?"

Before Chen Sa could answer, He Shen frowned and said, "But teacher, what's the taboo? Also, this person is..."

"Chen Sa, the same contestant as Li Diyun, No.5 in the Chopin International Piano Competition!"

Hearing He Shen's voice, Chen Sa immediately looked at He Shen, looked him up and down, and smiled very chicly.

"As for the taboo, it's actually nothing. The main thing is that I'm the judge of the Chopin International Piano Competition this time. But, I'm not even qualified to give you a score. How can there be any taboo?"

Chen Sa glanced around and found that no one noticed her, and immediately walked into the piano room.

Fortunately, the piano room rented by He Shen and Dan Yi is very large, about [-] square meters!
If they tried to be cheap and rented a small piano room, it would be really difficult to accommodate three people.

Chen Sa walked to one side, took off her windbreaker, put it on the clothes rack on the other side, and nodded to He Shen in the room, showing a friendly smile.

"He Shen, right? I've heard of you. When I was touring concerts in other places, I heard Teacher Danyi mention you, saying that your talent reminded him of Senior Brother Li Diyun, but you are better than Li Diyun. The better thing about Brother Di Yun is that you are a person who has no desires!"

"No... desire?"

He Shen was puzzled, looking at Danyi to the side, wondering why he suddenly had no desire...

Not to mention anything else, he himself still values ​​the champion of the Chopin International Piano Competition, so why did he suddenly have no desire?
Dan Yi saw He Shen's expression, and instantly understood that He Shen had made a mistake in his understanding. He couldn't help but shook his head, and nodded Chen Sadao helplessly.

"Chen Sa, I'm not saying that He Shen has no desires. What I mean is that He Shen doesn't care much about external things. He is very suitable for making music and studying music. How come in your mouth, Chen Sa, he becomes No more desires?"

"Ahaha, almost the same! They are all the same, there is no difference hahaha!"

Chen Sa waved her hand, leaned against the wall, and said indifferently.

"I don't care much about external things. Doesn't this mean that I don't have desires? Then He Shen, tell me, besides studying music, what else do you like! It must be material things!"

"substance?
After hesitating for a moment, He Shen frowned slightly and spoke tentatively.

"Lollipop?"

Danyi: "..."

Chen Sa: "..."

The scene turned cold for a while, but Danyi immediately coughed, turned his gaze to Chen Sa who was on the side, and asked suddenly.

"Chen Sa, I remember you just told me that you are not qualified to rate He Shen. What does that mean?"

"This is the literal meaning!"

Chen Sa also wisely took over Danyi's words, did not continue to discuss He Shen's love for lollipops, and began to explain to Danyi.

"As I said, I am not qualified to rate He Shen. Not only that, as long as there are more than 20 judges who appear, as long as some of them are Hua nationality, or have taught He Shen, they will not be allowed!"

He Shen and Dan Yi glanced at each other. They originally wanted to let Chen Sa talk about some inside information about the Chopin International Piano Competition, but now it seems that knowing it is useless?

Chen Sa looked at the dazed eyes of the two people, thought for a while, and said.

"It's nothing to tell you, it's a very simple truth..."

"What is the most important thing in a competition? It's fairness! Don't talk about fairness at the personal level, at least the judges must be fair!"

"Fair, fair, or...fair!"

"Brothers from the same sect, you can't grade!"

"People of the same nationality cannot be rated!"

"Those who have taken the master class cannot be graded!"

"People who overlap with each other cannot be graded!"

"I have participated in the selection of a large-scale competition in a certain country before, and I have selected a certain person, and this cannot be graded!"

"Just to give all players the most basic fairness!"

"You can find a better teacher than other contestants, but you will never be able to get more preferential treatment from the judges!"

"This is what we want, fair!"

Chen Saxu babbled a lot, and He Shen listened briefly, and it was basically the kind of...

As long as you have a relationship with this player, no matter what the relationship is, you cannot rate it.

Minimize the special bonuses and deductions caused by interpersonal relationships as much as possible.

Others they want to control, but they can't control it anymore...

They gave all the fairness they could give, and even gave out every game, every judge's score, and the video.

You can even analyze what kind of interpretation these judges like!
These are the fairness that Xiao Sai can give!

He Shen touched his chin and nodded thoughtfully.

However, after He Shen hesitated for a moment, he finally asked Chen Sa.

"Which..."

"Just call me Chen Sa, don't worry too much about the address."

Chen Sa looked at He Shen and smiled, and said to him.

"Come on, do you have any questions?"

"Well, Chen Sa, I have another question..."

He Shen thought for a while, and after struggling with the logic of his language, he asked Chen Sa.

"Well, I want to ask, Xiao Sai's judges, how did they score? I'm a little curious about this..."

"That's it..."

Chen Sa nodded her chin, and said in a very serious and slow voice.

"Originally, as a judge, I shouldn't have told you!"

"But..."

Chen Sa suddenly smiled slyly, walked to Dan Yi's side, supported his shoulders with both hands, stood behind him, looked at He Shen, and explained.

"Actually, in the Chopin International Piano Competition, scoring is not the most important concept. What is our most important concept? In fact, it is whether we can enter the next round!"

"The two most important factors in evaluating a game are whether you can enter the next round!"

"When the scores of several people are relatively close, the scoring will be used to determine which one is better to enter the next round!"

"This is the first thing that our judges think of when they select the scores!"

"Then the specific criteria for entering the next round is actually very simple, it is the individual!"

"I heard Mr. Danyi say that your own style is actually very fixed. Even listening to you play the piano, you can hear what you want to express! I won't say more about this, you already have your own style ..."

"Let me simply say, my thoughts as a person..."

Chen Sa touched her chin, raised her head to look at the ceiling, hesitated for a while, and then slowly opened her mouth.

"There are many pianists in this world, but few have artistic souls. When we interpret a piece of work, we are actually reprocessing the piece. Therefore, for many judges, personal style The interpretation of it is actually a very important thing!"

"For example, in the Chopin International Piano Competition, we interpret Chopin. Each of us has our own ideas, but this idea must be based on a very basic idea based on Chopin itself."

"Chopin's playing style is gentle and natural, so when we interpret many works, we should use a legato way, that is, a lyrical way to interpret!"

"And how to play this legato interpretation, this is what we want to hear!"

"You can abandon some naturalness and gentle style, but you can't give up the most basic things! The most basic things in Chopin's works, you can never give up these things!"

"Therefore, the Chopin International Piano Competition is not only played for all audiences, but also for all judges. You must not only attract audiences, but also judges! Both are indispensable!"

"If you want to please the critics better, you can work hard in this place!"

"But I suggest you personally, it's better to be yourself!"

"After all, Mr. Danyi, I said that your interpretation of Chopin has your own characteristics!"

He Shen listened to Chen Sa's answer and nodded silently.

These things are actually not that far from what he imagined, and according to his thinking, it should be the case in fact.

after all……

The Chopin International Piano Competition is a special music competition that only plays Chopin's works.

And how to interpret Chopin has become the most important thing in the minds of all the judges!

So what should Chopin in my heart look like?
He Shen is not sure, he has been interpreting the Chopin he saw before, so that he can interpret the Chopin he imagined in his heart in a very accurate direction.

Get rid of yourself completely.

In addition to this, He Shen also tried his best to add a lot of entanglements and doubts to the music, so that he could add a lot of depth to Chopin.

These things are basically his understanding of Chopin.

He Shen has a very big question right now, is, does his current understanding count as personality?
Or, are you too rigid?
He Shen thought about it, and couldn't help falling into silence.

Chen Sa, who was standing behind Danyi, saw that He Shen couldn't help falling into silence, and immediately showed a trace of embarrassment.

She originally wanted to give He Shen a little encouragement, but she didn't expect it to have the opposite effect?
He Shen actually began to think about whether his own interpretation of Chopin was correct or wrong?

If He Shen was really confused, she would be a sinner!

Without thinking too much, Chen Sa immediately waved his hand, pretending not to care about anything.

"Haha, but these things are all our own ideas. Every judge has a different understanding of music. Personally, I prefer that kind of personalized interpretation."

"There are still a lot of judges, they don't like it, they prefer the one that is more close to Chopin, the one that can perfectly interpret Chopin!"

"I'm not too sure about He Shen's works that you play. After all, I haven't heard of them, but since you can enter the first round of the main competition, and you seem to have entered the main competition with the No.4 score in the preliminary round!"

"Then it proves a very important thing. It proves your strength. In fact, you are liked by many judges! Since you have done it, that's enough!"

"Don't think too much, just be yourself!"
