world number one pianist

Chapter 245 Chopin International Piano Competition Final

Kobayashi Aishi felt that she was very unlucky, but it could not be said that she was completely unlucky.

Five years ago, she could definitely be regarded as a top young musician, and she had already been spotted by some relatively small companies, who planned to package her and let her go ashore.

But it was obvious that she looked down on those small companies and felt that she could advance to a higher level.

After all, only those who have won the top few places in these top competitions will have the opportunity to sign contracts with those big companies.

Become a professional classical music performer.

Therefore, after she won the final place of the Chopin International Piano Competition five years ago, after five years of precipitation, she came again.

The last time she met a pervert Zhao Chengxin, he was extremely stable.

It's the kind of stability that you can't find any mistakes at all just by looking at him.

From the beginning to the end, a steady pianist without any mistakes.

Such incomparable stability directly broke the mentality of countless other contestants who wanted to rush.

Can't find the direction to attack, can't find a place to overwhelm Zhao Chengxin.

Obviously Zhao Chengxin didn't seem to have any sense of oppression at all, but no matter how he played, he just couldn't beat it.

This inexplicable feeling directly broke the minds of many people. They could only be crushed by Zhao Chengxin and play their own music slowly.

Try to move forward in the direction of Zhao Chengxin, try hard to see if you can catch up with Zhao Chengxin's pace.

The same is true for Kobayashi Aishi, but she thought, anyway, she is still young, she is only 18 years old, so there shouldn't be many problems.

Practice again by yourself, practice for 5 years, maybe?Maybe I can succeed in the next Chopin International Piano Competition?

Now, she's here, and she's coming with immense confidence.

In the first few rounds, it was indeed no different from what she thought. She was able to take the lead among everyone and become a member of the first echelon.

But soon, she became stupid...

This year, there is indeed no player like Zhao Zhenxin last year, who is particularly stable and cannot find any of his mistakes.

This year comes one, Zhao Chengzhen Plus, Max, Ultur, X, enhanced, invincible, overclocked version!

Now this He Shen, apart from being the same as Zhao Chengxin and not having many mistakes, other things are more terrifying than Zhao Chengcheng.

His technique, especially Chopin's technique, is almost the best among all of them.

Those who can compete with He Shen in basic technology are probably Liu Yu, Fan Tian Gongping, Alexander, Martin and others.

The skills of these people are basically similar to those of He Shen, and they are all top-notch in the world.

Even Kobayashi Aishi felt that her technique was a bit weak, and it wasn't impossible to reach He Shen's toes.

but!

He Shen's understanding of Chopin is basically the most profound existence among all people, so deep that she even wondered if He Shen peeped into Chopin's memory?
Or Chopin is He Shen's past life?

She has worked very hard to study Chopin, and only a little bit of it can be regarded as able to play the complete set of Chopin's preludes.

The other players are similar. Basically, those players who have heard of it and are more famous are basically relatively famous existences.

She is about the same as her, and occasionally may be a little weaker than her.

Therefore, she really feels that she can win the championship this year.

Until He Shen appeared.

He Shen, a name I had never heard of before, didn't know that he came up from that competition, and didn't know how he got the invitation letter of the Chopin International Piano Competition.

Just like that, he suddenly appeared in the game, stood in front of everyone with a posture that almost crushed everyone, and announced his existence to everyone.

When she first met He Shen, she thought she could win No.1 in the Chopin International Piano Competition.

But the moment she met He Shen, she gave up. This was not at all something she could resist.

Fortunately, she kept her ranking, and her results were not bad. It was not a big problem to enter the next round and compete for the top six.

However, her bad luck started here!

She met He Shen consecutively in the second and third rounds of the official competition.

Every time, I met He Shen.

And every time, he bumped into He Shen's back.

The live atmosphere of her every piano performance is infected by He Shen, and everyone is immersed in He Shen's performance, comparing her with He Shen.

As soon as they heard that her performance was not very deep, many people immediately showed bored expressions.

It's like eating delicacies from mountains and seas, and then suddenly eat one without any seasoning, not even soy sauce or salt, boiled vegetables in plain water.

There is no seasoning, only the original taste of green vegetables.

No matter who it is, with a tongue that is spoiled by delicacies from mountains and seas, no matter how gaudy the vegetables are cooked, people will not let people take a second look at the vegetables.

This is the problem she faces.

Every time she ranked behind He Shen, just to make those people look at her more, she played [-]% of her strength and made herself play better as much as possible.

Only in this way can she barely guarantee her grades, let the audience judges take a closer look at her, and prevent herself from being eliminated just like that.

When she competed with Zhao Chengxin before, she didn't feel so much pressure.

Now that she is competing against He Shen, she is almost out of breath due to the pressure.

But everything is fine...

This time, she didn't continue to rank behind He Shen. This time, she finally got one, the best order!

Although, it's still a day with He Shen.

but!

This time, she was the first to play!She didn't have to face the pressure He Shen put on her head-on!

Therefore, when she finished her break and walked from the direction of the piano room to the concert hall, the smile on her face could hardly be concealed.

If it wasn't for her own image, she could almost laugh out loud in public.

Tell everyone in the world how lucky you are.

It was precisely because she managed to rank in front of He Shen to perform, she felt that this slightly dark sky looked so cute and bright.

She quickly followed the pace of the crowd, stood behind her teacher and other supporters, walked to the vicinity of the concert hall, smiled at the crowd, then bowed slightly, and walked into the concert hall.

After entering the concert hall, she quickly took a look around and found that the surroundings were not that deep, so she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, his expression immediately became extremely serious.

Her demeanor changed immediately, and all the secret joy and joy she had before were quickly absorbed into the depths of her heart. With an extremely stable posture, she walked towards the top of the concert hall and came to the backstage of the concert hall.

When Kobayashi Aishi entered, the other two players had also reached their positions.

When all the contestants arrived and the judges entered their seats, the downstairs of the concert hall also opened the ticket check-in.

The sound insulation effect of the backstage wall of the concert hall is not a special wall, so Kobayashi Aishi can clearly hear the sound of people walking into their seats in the concert hall.

There are many more voices of discussion in which language I don't know.

These voices made Kobayashi Aishi immediately realize that she is now on the final stage!
No matter what, I am now a finalist, and countless cameras around me are watching my every move.

Kobayashi Aishi immediately practiced her emotions for the first time, making her behavior as gentle and gentle as possible, showing a very perfect gesture of Yamato Nadeko.

She just stood in the middle of the concert hall, looking gently at the backstage door of the concert hall, waiting for her to take the stage.

click...

At this moment, the door at the backstage entrance of the concert hall was opened, and a group of people in black suits followed a man and walked towards the backstage of the music.

Andrei Boreko, Principal Conductor of the Warsaw Philharmonic!
He quickly walked to the backstage of the concert hall, looked at Kobayashi Aishi who was standing aside, smiled at her, and the other staff around him nodded slightly.

The surrounding staff immediately understood, and stretched out their hands to open the slightly heavy backstage door of the concert hall.

The members of the Warsaw Philharmonic immediately walked up the stairs to the stage.

No one said a word of nonsense, just like a black stream, it was extremely quiet and serious.

Soon, in the backstage of the concert hall, there were only countless cameras, the staff responsible for opening the door, and Andre.

Andre looked at Kobayashi Aishi standing there, seeing her extremely serious face without any trace of nervousness, couldn't help but smiled helplessly.

Kobayashi Aishi, her level is very good, and she is very serious.

However, it is a pity...

Unless she plays that supernatural effect in this game, it will be really difficult for her to get a particularly good result.

After all, as a conductor, Andre had seen everyone play before the competition.

I also know what kind of effect each contestant wants to express for this Chopin Piano Concerto.

Andre looked at Kobayashi Aishi, couldn't help sighing, got up and patted her on the shoulder, took out the music score that Kobayashi Aishi gave him before, and handed it to her.

"At this time, your music score, the competition will start soon, do you have any other changes you want to make? If necessary, you can ask me at this time."

Kobayashi Aishi looked at Andre in a little surprise, but soon she shook her head and spoke in a gentle tone.

"No, there is no modification, everything will be performed according to the previous performance."

"If that's the case, then that's fine."

Andre looked at Kobayashi Aishi and didn't say anything further.

In the concert hall, it was gradually becoming extremely quiet.

The strings of the symphony orchestra sounded in the concert hall, and the extremely strong resonance made all the audience shut up.

The competition is about to begin!
The host took a few small cards and walked onto the stage, and began to introduce the judges who came today to everyone.

At this time, all the judges had already arrived at the scene of the competition.

Whether it's the first round or the second round, or the judges of the qualifiers.

They all arrived at the scene, waiting for the players to appear.

After introducing all the judges, the host spoke directly to everyone without any hesitation.

"Chopin International Piano Competition, the first day, the first contestant!"

"Dongying, Kobayashi Aishi!"

"Piano Choice: Steinway D274"

"Work selection: Chopin Piano Concerto No. [-]!"

boom!
The applause burst out!

Everyone applauded vigorously, looking forward to Kobayashi Aishi's appearance.

Even though many people think that Kobayashi Aishi may not get a very good final ranking, but...

Kobayashi Aishi is a very rare player among these players, who entered the Chopin International Piano Competition for the second time.

Her pressure is much, much greater than other contestants.

Therefore, compared with He Shen's crushing, everyone is also full of curiosity about whether Kobayashi Aishi can break through himself and complete a qualitative leap.

Andre, and Kobayashi Aishi standing in the backstage of the concert hall heard the applause outside and immediately understood.

At this point, the time to take the stage has arrived.

Andre looked at the little Aishi Kobayashi in front of him, smiled, and stretched out his hand to Aishi Kobayashi with a very gentlemanly gesture.

"Come on, we're ready to go on stage!"

"Ok!"

Kobayashi Aishi took two deep breaths, looked at Andre beside her, and the other staff who were paying special attention to her, feeling a little nervous in her heart.

I had been thinking before that I could finally get rid of He Shen's influence on her.

But now, let her stand alone on the stage of the finals, and the tension that she had forgotten before came to her heart in an instant.

I am not considered young anymore, and she is similar to He Shen, and there is no chance to do it again.

Therefore, she couldn't help stretching out her hand and squeezed the pendant on her chest, her gaze gradually became extremely firm.

Now is his best time, He Shen no longer puts pressure on himself, and he is still in the first position.

This position has a very big advantage for me.

She doesn't need to care about other factors around her at all, and can play all the effects she wants very seriously.

therefore……

Kobayashi Aishi took off the pendant on his chest, handed it to the staff nearby, looked at Andre in front of him, and nodded vigorously.

"Let's play!"

After all, without any hesitation, she immediately walked towards the stage.

She stepped onto the steps of the stage slowly, and the applause that might have seemed a little dim before immediately rang out again.

This time, not only the applause of the audience, but also all the members of the orchestra stood up and gave Kobayashi Aishi a little applause of encouragement.

Kobayashi Aishi quickly walked to the center of the stage, looked at everyone off the stage, the judges in the distance, and listened to the applause in her ears.

The tension in my heart gradually dissipated.

Now, she has no way out.

therefore!

She is going to charge towards the champion for the last time!
Whether you can succeed or not!
She quickly bowed to the crowd, sat on her seat, quickly adjusted the height of the seat back and forth, and nodded slightly to the conductor who was already standing in the center of the stage.

At this moment, the concert hall became extremely quiet.

Andre stood in the center of the stage, and after getting the signal from Kobayashi Aishi, he immediately waved the baton in his hand, facing all the Chopin Philharmonic Orchestra members.

As for the crowd, the moment they received Andre's signal, they immediately lifted up the instruments in their hands.

boom!
A burst of Chopin's Piano Concerto No. [-], which sounded fierce but had a hint of sweetness, sounded from the stage in an instant.

The emotions were not particularly violent at the beginning, but soon, Kobayashi Aishi appeared.

She didn't let the band make a lot of changes to the part before she played it.

Everything she changed was related to herself.

For her, when Chopin was in her hometown, looking at the infinitely prosperous hometown, the love in her heart must be extremely strong!

Therefore, for her, in Chopin's First Piano Concerto, more can be interpreted, which is sweetness and love.

Her hands floated on the piano keyboard, and all the timbres did not give full strength when they were down firmly.

She is controlling her music, becoming extremely soft and beautiful.

Neither good nor bad.

This is the feeling she wants to interpret.

This is the Chopin Piano Concerto No. [-] that she felt in her heart.

Everyone was immersed in her interpretation and felt the beauty she brought in the music.

I have to say that Kobayashi Aishi's Chopin is also beautiful.

Her control over relatively light power reached its peak at this moment.

Just like a feather, it tickles people's hearts and makes people's hearts itch.

It seems that the grand occasion in Poland at that time can be seen completely!
Not only that……

When she interprets music, she gives more changes to the timbre.

In terms of cooperation with her, the band asked for the same gentle instrumental sound as hers, but made it a little bit smaller, so that her music can come out more.

Let those thick bass instruments, as a support, support her dreamlike music.

No one talks, no one discusses.

Discussing in low voice at this time is completely profane to music.

Kobayashi Aishi deserves to be the finalist of the Chopin International Piano Competition in two rounds.

She has been suppressed by He Shen before, and has never been able to get a particularly good score, but her own strength is still not weak.

He is still the most eye-catching existence among all the people in the audience.

The fast flow of music, the sounds of bassoon, French horn, and double bass give the music more layers.

Violins, pianos, trumpets, flutes, clarinet instruments, etc., give a high level of softness.

In the middle layer, the piano bass part cooperates with other instruments to ensure the width of the foundation.

Everything is very normal and very beautiful.

Could hardly find any little problem.

It can even be said that Kobayashi Aishi's performance gave this game a very good start.

Even those who didn't particularly like Kobayashi Aishi and felt that her opening performance on the first day might not be able to bring color to the competition had to admit it.

After breaking away from He Shen's influence, Kobayashi Aishi's strength is still very strong.

It is indeed a player who can withstand the deep pressure and enter the finals.

Music, without any stop, takes away everyone's concept of time.

It's like enjoying something you like, enjoying it, time will pass.

Everyone didn't feel anything at all, and when they found out, time had come to an end.

Music has come to an end.

After Kobayashi Aishi played the last note, she breathed a sigh of relief.

My journey to the Chopin International Piano Competition finally came to an end.

And this time, I can finally interpret all my strengths, my strongest strength!

I am really looking forward to where I can go!

She looked overhead, shaking the lights sore her eyes.

Feeling the sweat slowly dripping from her forehead and back because she played the piano so seriously.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly.

She looked at the wall behind her, and seemed to be able to see He Shen who was sitting in the lounge.

So many times before, He Shen has been suppressing her with all his strength.

Now, she also hopes that He Shen can feel it...

The stress she brings!
And He Shen, at this moment, also turned his gaze to the stage.

There were two layers of walls in the middle, but He Shen still looked towards the direction of the stage, as if he could see Aishi Kobayashi's smile.

His face didn't change in any way, even he could recognize the letter of challenge from Aishi Kobayashi at the end.

For He Shen, what should have been pure music was mixed with some personal things, which is undoubtedly a very big failure.

but……

He Shen got up from the chair and rubbed his hands.

He will face this challenge head-on!
He will tell everyone how powerful his most perfect work is!
