Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Deafening applause rang out, and amid the warm applause, the nine judges stepped onto the judging bench one after another.

    As the premier formal government-run piano competition in the country, although it is only a preliminary competition, they are all well-known pianists in the circle. Although three of the judges in the Kyoto competition are competing at home.  Although they are professors of the keyboard department of the Kyoto Conservatory of Music, they believe that with their professional ethics and principles of life, there will be no doubt about the open, fair and impartial evaluation in full view of the public.

    The competition is divided into two rounds. Registration is the audition. Today, it can be broadcast live on local TV stations in Kyoto and recorded on CCTV. They are all elite members who are top-notch in level and quality.  Uh I forgot, there are a total of 37 contestants competing today. The competition method adopts the final selection method and is divided into three parts: playing the required songs, improvising by Hyun, and playing the free-choice songs.

    The Kyoto Division will finally rank each player based on their overall performance, and the top six seeded players from each division will be selected to enter the top 30 national finals.

    The applause was overwhelming, and it slowly receded under the host's gesture.

    Singing praises is an indispensable routine. The host was very familiar with the stage and presented the opening remarks so skillfully that he could almost recite them by heart. Among the judges who had just sat down in the audience, a few familiar friends were chatting in low voices.  A few words can also be regarded as condolences to each other before the game.

    Li Wanyang is the chairman of the Kyoto Musicians Association and a piano teacher who studied abroad in the 1980s and then resolutely returned to the embrace of his motherland.  Having seen the piano art atmosphere abroad, Li Wanyang opened the first private piano training center in Kyoto with a pure heart and enthusiasm to contribute to the development of China's piano industry.  These years of rigorous and serious teaching have indeed unearthed and cultivated many outstanding talents for society, conservatories, universities, high schools and even primary schools.

    Li Wanyang is one of the chief judges of the Kyoto competition area. There are also two outstanding students in the training center who have signed up to participate in this piano competition. However, he is principled and orderly and keeps silent to his students.

    "Old Yu, I heard that your seed player this year is a freshman who has just been admitted to college?" Li Wanyang sat next to Yu Desheng. The two met more than ten years ago and have established a deep friendship over the years.

    As the host of the competition, the Kyoto Conservatory of Music is one of the top music schools in the country and the first in Kyoto. Naturally, its every move is closely watched by people in the industry.  Last year's music prodigy Jiang Hui graduated from University and went to the UK to further her studies. This student, who had won the runner-up in the competition for two consecutive years, whether she was angry or stubborn, followed her fellow student from the Guangdong Conservatory of Music who beat her two consecutive years.  U.K.

    In China, the two were rivals in the piano major of the eight major conservatoires in the country. Now they have gone to the UK together and will compete again as comrades, alumni and competitive partners.  Without Jiang Hui¡¯s clear spring tinkling and spiritual and elegant piano sound, would there be a better and more powerful player at the Kyoto Conservatory of Music?  ?

    This year everyone will wait and see, but the information they received surprised everyone.

    A freshman?  A young boy who has just been admitted to the Kyoto Conservatory of Music and has not even completed one semester?

    Li Wanyang originally thought that this time the Kyoto Conservatory of Music would select one of the senior and first-year students. Li Guangsheng started learning piano when he was young. Four years later, he was sent to the Kyoto Conservatory of Music by himself. He is now a senior and his level is on par with Tokuyama.  With careful attention, he has become increasingly mature and has considerable skills.

    Why not him?  Li Guangsheng was also among the top eight players in the last finals, and it was his first time participating in a large-scale competition. After eliminating psychological pressure and after another year of training and improvement, he was fully capable of competing for the top three!  Could it be that this student who just entered the Kyoto Conservatory of Music is better than Li Guangsheng?

    "Well, that kid" Yu Desheng seemed to recall the past memories and the scene, and said slightly relaxedly: "It's really good. I won't tell you the name, you can find it yourself."

    Li Wanyang pursed his lips with interest: "Oh? Are you really so sure?"

    "Haha." Yu Desheng shook his head and smiled.  I know my old friend¡¯s unwillingness to admit defeat all too well.  As soon as he opened his mouth, he knew that he was complaining about his disciple Li Guangsheng.  But having said that, Li Guangsheng is also an outstanding student trained by himself. He is also planning to sign up for his own graduate student this year to continue his studies with him. If he is even slightly better than the new student, he will not fail to fight for him.

    It¡¯s just that the new student no matter in terms of musicality, bearing, technique, etc., he is not even better than Li Guangsheng.  Even Li Guangsheng himself had no objections to this seeded player after hearing his performance, not to mention that he was also standing on the school's side, unswervingly considering the school's reputation and the overall level of the students themselves.

    Su Xiaomin and Bai Jie separated from Feng Junyan at the side door.The cousins ??went to the front, where Li Wang and the others had helped to occupy the seats in advance, while Feng Junyan turned to the backstage and stayed in the backstage rest area with dozens of outstanding piano players who had been selected through auditions.  .

    The rest area is as big as a classroom, and there are several doors on both sides. I don¡¯t know if it is a changing room or another high-end rest room.  Feng Junyan was the last to arrive. When he lifted the curtain and walked in, a dozen young men and women subconsciously turned their heads for a few glances, then turned back and continued to stare at the 25-inch color TV in the corner.

    There is a real-time picture of the stage outside on the TV.

    "Junior brother, come and sit over here!" Li Guangsheng half stood up and raised his arms in greeting.

    Feng Junyan stepped forward and greeted politely: "Brother, are you here early? Hey, sister, you are here early enough Haha"

    A chubby girl next to Li Guangsheng rolled her eyes: "I won't be too hasty to save you. We'll start right away. If you're the first to go on stage, let's see how you fare!"

    "Ah? Am I the first?" Feng Junyan was startled and opened his mouth in an exaggerated manner.  Ninety percent of this action and image are exaggerated and pretentious. With his sense of music and ability, this kind of competition is simply a piece of cake, especially since it is only the preliminary round.

    "Your senior sister is teasing you. I got the number for you and you were the 22nd one to go up. It's the second half." Li Guangsheng patted Feng Junyan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I stole a trick and used number 16.  in front of you¡­¡­"

    Both Tan Ling and Li Guangsheng are well aware of Feng Junyan's piano skills. It is of course the best to be in front of him. If Feng Junyan appears first and they follow him, even if they are mentally mature and can compete  If you are under pressure, the judges' scores will definitely be affected.

    Music is a cross-border language, but it is so emotional and so sensitive that it is very susceptible to external influences, especially contrasting influences.

    "Huhit's okay. You have to make me mentally prepared." Feng Junyan pretended to be relieved, exchanged glances with Senior Sister Tan Lingtan with a playful smile, and sat next to Li Guangsheng.

    Tan Ling is Li Guangsheng¡¯s girlfriend, and the two plan to take the postgraduate entrance examination together. Moreover, Tan Ling is a fat girl who is not beautiful in appearance or figure and is cute. Feng Shao is more willing to be a friend than to occupy her.

    The girl in front of her with a braided pigtail turned her head angrily, glanced at it, and then turned back to stare at the TV to watch the content.  Feng Junyan could see the contempt and disdain in her eyes, but he just smiled lightly, which did not affect his mood at all.

    ??Every person on the earth has two eyes. If everyone looks at you like this and you can't hold your breath and affect your mood, then you are not at odds with the other person, but with yourself!

    We are here for a competition. If you are a piano player, grinning and waving your eyes is nothing. If you have the ability, you can show your talent on stage!  No matter if you are a man or a girl, I will kill them all, young master!

    After a while, the host on the stage came to an end with his formalism and explained the rules of the competition again, and then Contestant No. 1, who had been waiting outside for a long time, walked up to the stage with high spirits.

    Feng Junyan heard the host's roll call coming from the TV. The No. 1 contestant was named Yu Shumao, and the song he was talking about was "Turkish March." He was of moderate build, not tall, but seemed very calm when walking.  He walked up to the stage and held on to the piano corner and reported his own piece of music, bowed slightly, then sat on the piano stool, carefully adjusted the distance, adjusted his breathing slightly, and raised his arms to start playing.

    Mozart's "Turkish March" does not have a very strong Turkish style, and because it has been spread so widely, it is familiar to both knowledgeable and inexperienced people. Therefore, although Yu Shumao's performance is slightly skillful, due to the ordinary selection of music  and popularity, did not win the opening.  And because when playing the connection between the second theme and the first theme, a very amateurish mistake occurred inadvertently, which made him completely out of shape when he played the first theme again.  After the performance, Yu Shumao stood up, his face calm, and nothing strange could be seen on the TV.

    Feng Junyan didn't like much of the next playing, including Tan Ling's performance, which was only satisfactory in Feng Junyan's eyes. It was just when Li Guangsheng came on stage to play "Shepherd Boy Piccolo" that this Chinese-style piano piece was played by Li Guangsheng.  The performance came alive and made Feng Junyan's eyes shine.  This was the first time he saw Li Guangsheng take a piano piece seriously.  In the past, we just met by chance in the piano room and chatted about a few paragraphs!

    Feng Junyan found that Li Guangsheng's biggest advantage compared with his previous classmates was not his delicate handling of piano music and his emotional expression, but that his stage image matched the language of his body in the performance. Although he was still a little immature, he  From this perspective, it can be seen that Li Guangsheng has experience in competitions, at least he is not nervous or surprised.

    Before waiting for the girl with contemptuous eyes to show her expression, Feng Junyan finally came to the stage after struggling for several hours.

    Feng Junyan is the kind of person who is otherwiseWhen the last player played, he waited in the background early, adjusted his mood, integrated the environment and the mentality of playing first, and was full of energy at the moment.  There is a unique temperament all over his body, just like being possessed by the piano prince.

    Every step and every body movement seemed to have a music spirit flashing. Feng Junyan sat quietly on the piano stool, lowered his head slightly, and stared at the black and white keys with a charming luster like a lover.

    A slight gasp resounded in the concert hall. For some unknown reason, the audience and the judges were subconsciously moved by the entire atmosphere and felt a little nervous.

    Feng Junyan's hands suddenly moved, seemingly urgently but slowly. In the blink of an eye, a pair of slender and agile hands were naturally and harmoniously placed on the keyboard. As his fingers touched the keyboard lightly, Feng Junyan's eyes closed gently, feeling with those fingers.  The wonderful feeling, with the movement of arms and wrists, lightly stretching the fingers, a soul-shaking piano sound faintly sounded

    "Moonlight", Beethoven's classic work, has been studied intensively by later generations, but no one has completely restored the mood, timbre and elegant classical music.  And here and now, whether it is Yu Desheng or Li Wanyang, all the judges are influenced by him.

    At this moment, Beethoven's music returned to the world again, and through the hands of Feng Junyan, it entered the ears of the world
