So is the heart of the cloud

On the day of the finals, the three members of the junior group, Ran Yunxiu, came to the player lounge of the concert hall early, and waited quietly for the start while adjusting their mood.

The competition for the youth group will be held in the afternoon, and Tao Ran and the others are sitting in the auditorium.

Thomson had obviously been here for a while, looked at Ran Yunxiu, raised the corner of his mouth to say hello, and nodded lightly to the other two.

Jiang Xuan smiled back and greeted Fu Ziche with a glance at him in return.

Thomson himself is also an indifferent person, so he naturally doesn't care about his attitude, but just looks at Ran Yunxiu: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Ran Yunxiu replied with a smile.The redness and swelling on his face had dissipated a lot, and he couldn't see it unless he looked carefully.

"That's good." Thomson said: "I don't want you to use poor health as an excuse when you lose to me!"

Ran Yunxiu raised her eyebrows, and the corners of her beautiful big eyes raised lightly: "You should first think about how you will answer when the reporter asks you how you felt when you didn't win the championship!"

He doesn't usually raise his eyebrows often, and most of the time he is gentle and polite, with a gentle appearance.At this moment, when doing this movement, there is another kind of unrestrained and uninhibited feeling, which sets off that beautiful face with high spirits and brilliance.

Fu Ziche was obviously taken aback, he rarely saw such Ran Yunxiu.I don't know if it's his illusion, it seems that something has changed in Ran Yunxiu since yesterday.

Thomson smiled a little more because of his words: "Okay, let's see each other's progress!"

Ran Yunxiu smiled at him and accepted the challenge.

The number of appearances was drawn, and Ran Yunxiu was NO.13, which was relatively late.Fu Ziche, Thomson, and Jiang Xuan were No. [-], No. [-], and No. [-] respectively.

The first player to play was a female player from Japan: Kaga Orikako.

The final has more links than the preliminary and semi-finals. It is stipulated that each contestant must play a solo piece and an etude, followed by melody imitation variations and improvisation.

Orikako Kaga chose Chopin's Nocturne in E flat major for her first solo piece.

Chopin's pieces have always been Ran Yunxiu's favorite piece, and he also played this "Nocturne" when he participated in the China Regional Selection Competition.Of course, he also listened to many other pianists.Sitting in the lounge watching Kagaorika's bullets at this time, I always feel that there is too much scrutiny.

Seeing that he was listening seriously, Fu Ziche snorted softly: "If she doesn't compare with you, she's pretty good at playing."

Ran Yunxiu can't laugh or cry, are you praising him or hurting him?He didn't dare to say anything, he was afraid of affecting other people's listening to the piano, after all, it is very impolite to talk when others are playing.

Orikako Kaga's "Nocturne" received a good response. After all, she is a contestant who has entered the finals, and her strength is there.

When it comes to etudes, most people think of Liszt. Orikako Kaga chose an early concert etude "Whispers of the Forest" by Liszt. Liszt was deeply influenced by Chopin in his youth. Some Chopin etudes.This "Whispers of the Forest" was one of the "Two Etudes for Concerts" that he presented to his disciple Plukner at that time.

Kaga Orikako is pretty good. Ran Yunxiu has never heard her play the piano before, so she doesn't know her true level, so she is not sure whether she is under the pressure of being the first to play, but her performance is still good.

It's just that this song "Whispers of the Forest" has developed from a very weak pp that is almost a whisper to the strongest fff that shakes the sky like a hurricane. to extremely weak transition.Kaga Orikako did not perform very well at this point, and did not grasp the rhythm well during the transition process.

The melody imitation variation in the third stage is different from the pure imitation in the previous competition. In addition to imitating it, a small variation is also required according to this melody, which tests the ability of the contestants.

As for the improvisation in the last link, there is no need to explain, everyone understands that it is a test of the contestants' on-site creative ability.For this session, the organizer has prepared a large screen on the stage with fifteen questions for the contestants to choose, and then the contestants have to improvise according to the screens that appear.

Orikako Kaga's variation is in the same style as before, adding a relaxed and lively allegro. Although it is simple, it has a beautiful melody, which makes people seem to be able to see a beautiful girl dancing.

In the improvisation session, she chose question No. [-]. On the screen, a meadow with drizzling rain appeared, and the breeze blew past, rustling softly.

She thinks for a minute, then starts to play.

The brisk but soft tone is really like the sound of raindrops. At first glance, it sounds a bit like Chopin's "Raindrops", but it is not the same.There is another independent melody in the middle, soft like the wind blowing.

The creation is very close to the theme, or in other words, very close to the melody of her own style.

The second player was Cassin from Russia. His performance was quite satisfactory and nothing eye-catching.

It was Fu Ziche's turn to play.

Ran Yunxiu said softly, "Come on!"

Fu Ziche smiled a rare, very gentle smile.

Fu Ziche looks very delicate, with a little youthfulness, a bit like a porcelain doll.Sitting in front of the piano, he is graceful like a little prince.Ran Yunxiu sometimes wonders what he will look like when he grows up, will he be like Yun Chulan?But he immediately denied his own idea. They are different. The styles of the two are completely different. There will never be another evil person like Yun Chulan!

Mozart Piano Sonata No. 11 in A major K331!

The third movement of this piece is known as the "Turkish March", but for those who are not familiar with the piano, the first two movements may be unfamiliar.

During these years of studying in Vienna, Fu Ziche has improved a lot.Compared with the young man who could only play the piano with more than exquisite but insufficient connotation when filming "The Beginning", listening to his performance now feels different.His posture is relaxed, his fingers are soft, and the sound of the piano is clean and full. This piano piece seems to exude a different charm under his fingers, which deeply attracted the judges and audience in the audience.

Especially the familiar third movement, with the sound of the piano, there was a slight commotion in the auditorium.People are always picky about familiar pieces, which is why the more familiar a piece is, the less likely it is to be recognized. Audiences who are familiar with this piece will naturally compare what you play with what others play .

At the end of the final chord, there was warm applause from the audience.

Ran Yunxiu nodded, Fu Ziche played well today.

Thomson beside him also looked very serious, and said softly: "He is also very strong."

Ran Yunxiu glanced at him, smiled and said nothing.

After the applause stopped, the second etude sounded slowly.

When Fu Ziche came off the stage after the competition, his face was flushed with excitement.Ran Yunxiu smiled and stretched out her thumb to him, and he laughed happily.

No matter how awkward it is, it's just a teenager after all.I feel that I have performed well, and it is hard to be unhappy when I get compliments from my peers.

After a while, it was Thomson's turn.

As soon as the host announced the curtain, there was a burst of cheers from the audience. Someone was calling Thomson's name loudly, probably his fans.

Thomson's first piece was Beethoven's "Pathetique!"

When the first chord sounded, the noisy audience was immediately stunned and silent.As the melody changes from weak to strong, the thick keystrokes hammer into people's hearts like a hammer, making people completely attracted by the sound of the piano.

After the contrast between the strong and the weak, the torrent-like melody roared with the momentum of a mighty army, and people's eyes couldn't help but stare at Thomson's abnormally flexible fingers on the big screen.How can such a pair of thin hands play such exciting music!

People sat there stunned, their thoughts fluctuated with the music, sometimes agitated, sometimes weak.It wasn't until the end of the last piano sound that people reacted and clapped desperately!

Thomson brought a big surprise to this game when he debuted on the first day of junior high school!

The second etude - Chopin's "Revolutionary Etude"!

Fu Ziche glanced at Ran Yunxiu beside him, his expression was very serious, and he was even slightly excited.He can understand this feeling. Every time he sees others playing the piano so intently, he also has a feeling of wanting to rush forward to play the piano himself. This is the passion shared by all piano lovers.

He has to admit that compared with Thomson, he still has some gaps.Among the peers, maybe only Thomson and Ran Yunxiu, who are also called geniuses, are the closest in strength, and if I want to catch up with him, I have to work harder!

Thomson on the stage has reached the last stage, and he chose the fifth question in the same order as his appearance.

As soon as the screen goes black, the sky is full of stars shining, and occasionally there are meteors flashing past, taking away the momentary brilliance.

The sound of the piano sounded, and the soothing melody spread, with a tone like a soft night wind.Close your eyes, as if you can see the starlight shining all over the sky, a piece of peace and tranquility.Suddenly, a heavy knock hit the bottom of my heart, but then it turned into a rapid vibrato and dissipated.

"Thomson actually expressed the splendor of a shooting star in this way!" Ran Yunxiu shouted in surprise: "It's really an amazing creation!"

Fu Ziche also had to admit that this short piece of refreshing improvisation truly demonstrated Thomson's ability to be called a "genius young pianist"!

The judges on the judging panel also murmured in surprise, and looked at the young man on the stage unconsciously with admiration and joy.

Thomson returned to the lounge, and Ran Yunxiu greeted him with a smile: "I won't say anything about the previous performance, but the improvisation at the end is really amazing!"

Thomson raised his eyebrows slightly, a little proud, and a little happy: "To get such an evaluation from you, it really is not in vain to participate in this competition! I am looking forward to the surprise you will bring for a while!"

Ran Yunxiu raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Of course I won't let you down!"
