The Queen Elizabeth Piano Competition's auditions are different from regular competitions, it does not limit the subject matter, thousands of pianists can bloom in three venues, whether you are proficient in the original or proficient in Liszt, Chopin and other classic works, as long as you can impress the judges on the spot, then in this audition, you can easily win.Standing on the shoulders of a master and performing a master's work is certainly a trick, but if the proficiency does not reach the ideal level, it will do more harm than good, and it is very likely to fall behind.Therefore, in the audition, all pianists who can compose will basically come up with their proudest original pieces for the judges and the audience to appreciate.But people such as Lin Weiyin and Gao Feiliu should instead play the classical music of the masters.Because for them, the level of performance of the works that they practice day after day can already reach the level of the original author, and even surpass those pioneers in emotion and performance.For these pianists, they have been playing the music of the masters all their lives, and they have played it many more times than the original authors, and they have basically formed a muscle memory of each famous piece, and the appearance of seriousness has even surpassed the performance level of the masters of the past.For example, Lin Weiyin, she may be a little inferior when playing the works of masters such as Liszt, who are known for their skills, but when she plays the Chopin series, it is as if Chopin himself possessed it, which is quite amazing.Therefore, at the Chopin International Piano Competition, which is only held every five years, Lin Weiyin's performance strength completely shocked all the judges and audiences present, and won the gold medal of the Chopin International Piano Competition, which has been vacant for two consecutive years.That year, the international evaluation of Lin Weiyin was quite high, especially when she played Chopin's music, the younger generation was basically unbeatable, so that Lin Weiyin jumped from a small domestic young pianist to a world-class pianist, and even at the first level.In fact, there are many classical pianists such as Lin Weiyin, who specialize in a certain series of works, so in the audition of the Queen Elizabeth Competition, the organizers did not set a theme, and adopted a posture of a hundred schools of thought, allowing all the contestants to play their best categories, so as to ensure that no possible champion seed is missed.The auditions are based on the scores, and the judges will score according to four standard categories.The first criterion is the difficulty of the work, and the full score is 20 points.The second criterion is to give points according to the basic skills and skills of the performers, with a maximum of 20 points.The third criterion is based on the completeness of the work, which is 30 points.The fourth criterion is based on the performer's artistic expression, and the full score is also 30 points.The four criteria are combined, and the cap is 100 points.To put it more simply, it is a comprehensive assessment based on rhythm, skill, emotion, and completion.At this time, the entire Royal Concert Hall fell into absolute silence as the event began.With one player after another, each pianist has been praised and affirmed by the judges, most of them have obtained more than 80 points, these performers from all over the world, have been screened by the organizer in advance, their ability is undoubted, whether it is the difficulty of the performance, or the basic skills and skills of the performers, have reached the peak of the performance.Therefore, the most important thing is to look at the completion of the work and the artistic expression of the performer, these two items alone are worth 60 points.In terms of completion alone, there is a big difference between original and non-original, as long as the works of the masters are as close to the level of the masters' works as possible, the degree of completion can naturally get a high score, but for the original works, the judges are a little picky about the completion of the works.For example, the Polish composer who appeared at this moment, although the work he performed was very moving, was slightly flawed in the completion of the performance, and in the end he could only achieve a marginal score of 70 points.With this result, I basically didn't have a chance to advance to the next round.Soon, the event was in full swing.The first Chinese performer on the stage appeared, Liao Yuan felt a little familiar, and after a closer look, he suddenly thought about it."
It's ......
Meng Han?
”Liao Yuan remembers Meng Han, who had played with Meng Han at the exchange meeting on the Huangpu River Costa cruise ship two years ago, but the latter was ultimately inferior and left the scene in shame.Two years have passed, Meng Han's temperament is no longer domineering, and he seems slightly mature.Because he was the first Chinese performer and the first Asian American, many people at the scene couldn't help but whisper, some people mistook Meng Han for Liao Yuan, and they were very excited at first, chatting with each other, but when they inquired, it was not Liao Yuan, and their faces showed disappointment.At this moment, Meng Han was slightly nervous in his heart.The event has been going on for an hour, and he has been watching it for an hour, and many of the performers are on par with, or even exceeding, ......
It was only then that he discovered that this Queen Elizabeth Contest was really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!
There were no less than ten famous pianists he recognized in the audience.Among them, among the Chinese pianists, Liao Yuan will not talk about it, the absolute focus, although he has had a festival with himself, but people are no longer what they used to be, and I believe they will not care about those past events......
In addition, there is another Chinese teenager who is also eye-catching - Wu Di, a Chinese teenager who just won the championship of the Tchaikovsky Piano Competition last year, is said to have a master-apprentice relationship with Liao Yuan......
Heroes are boys!
He had a trace of sweat in his hands, and he felt a lot of pressure.Today's Meng Han is wearing a white shirt and a black tuxedo, which is a standard pianist's costume, and the hair on his forehead is slightly scattered and drooping on his head, and he still looks a little handsome.He walked to the stage step by step, and after bowing slightly to the judges and the audience, he lifted the hem of his clothes and sat down gracefully on the piano bench.American composer John Philip flipped through Meng Han's resume on the jury, and when he saw that Meng Han was the bronze medal winner of the last Chopin Piano Competition, he showed a look of surprise, and exchanged a little with the other judges, and they all looked at Meng Han with admiration.The Chopin International Piano Competition, like the Queen Elizabeth Competition, represents the highest level of piano competition, and being able to win the third place in the Chopin Competition is enough to prove that Meng Han is an excellent pianist, which also means that Meng Han has the strength to enter the top three of the Elizabeth Competition.If Meng Han is talented, the past two years will be enough to make his performance level to the next level."
Knock knock—" The dull, lengthy sound of the piano was the first to sound, followed by a dense jingling sound."
Chopin's First Concerto?"
Everyone at the scene sat up straight, listened attentively, and showed a serious look.---- thanks to the salted fish villager, Shan Qingying, and rcliu for their tips, I originally wanted to update it at noon, but the power has been cut off until now, and I swear it's really a power outage......
