Doris looked at the blonde girl on the stage, her expression was inevitably stained with worry. This little girl Valentin mentioned to her.
Her parents are both contemporary Russian pianists. She has been influenced by classical music since she was a child, and she is very talented. More importantly, she has participated in the Moscow International Piano Competition since she was eight years old, and the champion has always been her throne.
While Doris was thinking, the girl on the stage had already started playing, and the moment the piano sounded, she opened her eyes wide in surprise.
This familiar tune
What the other party played was obviously Bach's piece, but it was "Minuet".
This piece is also one of Bach's quite famous pieces. It belongs to the same series as Huo Yuncheng's "French Suite No. 5 in G Major", which is Bach's most famous "Twelve Well-tempered Piano Collection".
It's just that "Minuet" is an elementary piece, while Huo Yuncheng's piece is more difficult.
But it's just as surprising. Dare to play Bach's pieces at this age, obviously a certain confidence in yourself.
After all, Bach's piano pieces have very high requirements for the player from the very beginning. Regardless of the jerky and difficult to understand the score, the balance of the hands alone will destroy a large number of people.
But the girl in front of me didn't seem to be included in this range. She sat straight in front of the Yamaha piano, wearing a white dress, like a proud swan.
The first sound fell, and there was a commotion in the field.
Her level has obviously passed the tenth level, and her fingers are jumping flexibly on the keys, which meets the requirements of the music for finger flexibility and polyphony.
The overall tune of "Minuet" is lively and steady, and the girl played smoothly, obviously having mastered the elementary skills of playing Bach's polyphonic works.
At this age, to be able to do this, the talent is really amazing.
At the end of the song, Doris applauded along with the audience. After Eva's performance, she looked forward to Huo Yuncheng's performance even more.
After the 20th contestant finished playing, the audience was somewhat tired, leaning on the back of the chair, occasionally talking to friends and family around them, no longer as enthusiastic and focused as they were at the beginning.
After the blue-eyed host came to the stage and read Huo Yuncheng's name and his repertoire in English, these people turned their surprised eyes to the stage.
"Did I hear you wrong? Bach's G Major? A 10-year-old?"
"It may be that the Yuan song was not selected well. The difficulty of this song is too harsh for children at this stage."
"How to play this piece should be a matter for the artists."
"Even if it is Eva, it is absolutely impossible to play this piece perfectly."
"Listen to his name, which country is he from? Chinese or Japanese?"
There were whispering discussions in his ears, and Doris was applauding while listening, with the corners of his lips slightly raised. When the figure on the stage came to the stage, she couldn't help applauding more enthusiastically.
Huo Yuncheng was wearing a small black suit and a bow tie. His facial features were immature and delicate, and the brows were calm and calm, without a trace of panic. He walked to the piano, bowed to the audience below, and found Doris accurately the moment he looked up.
The other party quietly stretched out his hand and waved him, giving him a thumbs up.
Huo Yuncheng raised the corners of his lips, but was forcibly suppressed by himself.
He turned around and sat on the piano bench, took a deep breath, and told himself in his heart¡ª¡ª
You have to bring out the best performance level.
Go and show her.
The moment Huo Yuncheng received the order, his center of gravity moved down, and the sound of the piano sounded in this wide music hall.
The dome is high, and he sits gracefully in front of the piano to play, and everyone in the audience is listening to his fairy music.
Doris didn't know why, but when she saw this scene, she suddenly felt some moisture in the corners of her eyes.
It seems that something that I have been looking forward to for a long time has come true.
The exclamation in the ear replaced the voice of doubt, and Doris let out a long breath.
Huo Yuncheng undoubtedly handled this piece perfectly. Bach is a court wind musician and the well-deserved father of European music. His complex and gorgeous tunes are quite a test for finger dexterity and independence, and while retaining artistic skills, he must also show his control over the parts and the direction of the melody.
"G Major" is undoubtedly one of the representative works, and it can even be regarded as a piece of finger practice skills.
However, this piano piece, which is quite difficult for ordinary people, is in aA ten-year-old child has the performance of a mature pianist here.
In the piece he played, every sound of each part is clear, in other words, he has been in control of the whole piece and knows what he is playing.
Doris smiled. Of course, there was a reason why she dared to agree with Huo Yuncheng to play this piece.
In terms of speed skills and control of voice balance, Doris can hold her head high and call herself a master. When she was in the hotel, she was consciously teaching Huo Yuncheng this aspect.
And the children taught by her will definitely inherit all her strengths.
After the last note fell, the hall was silent for a few seconds, until Huo Yuncheng got down from the piano bench and bowed again, then there was thunderous applause in the hall, which was the biggest cheer today.
Doris clapped her hands and looked at the little prince on the stage with bright eyes.
There was fine sweat on his forehead, his hair was wet on his temples, his breathing was much heavier than before he played, but his face was flushed, and his eyes were bright and pure, with sincere joy.
A shocking song, the reputation of a genius spread like wildfire, and Doris is honored.
As for why, she didn't seem to bother to delve into it.
She really liked this child very much.
In terms of solo performances, no surprises, it is of course Huo Yuncheng's highest score.
When Doris went to find him, he was talking to a little white girl, that Eva.
The girl was curiously asking him for advice on how to play Bach pieces. Huo Yuncheng explained to her seriously, being a gentleman and patient.
It's just that the complexion of the adults who came in a hurry is not very good-looking.
"Eva, we're leaving."
Eva looked up at her father and mother, reluctantly said: "Can I chat with him for a while?"
The tall Russian man took her hand: "Go home and let your mother teach you."
Eva curled her lips: "But I want to ask him for advice."
The face of the mother next to her changed slightly, and she reprimanded in Russian: "Aren't you ashamed? Ask a child younger than you for advice?"
Eva fell silent.
Huo Yuncheng, who was standing quietly on the other side, suddenly said, "There is an idiom in our country called "Don't be ashamed to ask."
The translation of idioms in Russian is quite straightforward, so there is no need to explain the meaning.
The expression of the adult next to him changed, apparently he did not expect that Huo Yuncheng could understand Russian, after all, he had been talking with Eva in English just now.
The woman quickly adjusted her mood and her attitude became better: "Who is your teacher?"
