Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 217 212. End it, ask Mozart's last sentence
Liu Henglu sat on the left side of the judges' seat, and his line of sight was just enough to clearly understand every move of a row of musicians in the wind group.

When he saw the trumpet and oboe players lifting their instruments, he felt something was wrong!
Immediately after looking down, when he raised his head again, Hou Zhentao's baton on the podium had already been swung down.

At the same time, Lin Youyou also noticed the details of the stage.

Lin Youyou stretched out her hand subconsciously!
But what's the use of her reaching out.

Stand up, Ang Lee!She shouted in her heart, it's still too late!
But she watched the two wind players staring at luck and blowing the instruments in their hands——

"Ugh-"

Everything happened within two seconds.

Two wind instruments are playing in unison!

The loud and warm tone gives people encouragement and strength, and it is extremely bright under the golden stage lights.

But the audience exploded.

A half note is enough to wake up all the judges instantly, and even those who are not paying attention on the stage cannot ignore the tone of the wind music in their ears.

At this moment, each judge's score sheet clearly reads——

Player No. 066 Li An.

Selected by the Gansu Musicians Association.

Designated track "Memories of Yunxiang".

Self-selected repertoire "Mozart Piano Concerto No. 20 in D Minor" K.466.

But the prelude they heard was another track, Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 9 in E-flat Major - K.271.

In other words, the commander's order was wrong.

The temporary rescue assistant conductor made a mistake in the concerto that contestant No. 066 was going to play.

In the history of the piano competition, this is not the first time that this kind of thing has happened, but it is the first time that most of the judges present today have encountered this kind of situation.

The time for a half note is not long for a conductor, but it is not short either.

But the figure on the podium didn't stop, or he didn't realize that he had made a mistake.

Hou Zhentao continued to play the next set of beats.

The rhythm of two consecutive sets of eighth notes.

The gesture of the conductor is an order, so even though some musicians have already realized that there is a problem—the track they are co-produced with the No. 066 player is not K271—but no one dares to stop, and can only continue to play the wrong one.

At this time, no matter on or off the court, those who understand already understand what happened on their stage.

The number 66 is written on the audience's viewing manual.

It was more direct in the live broadcast room. When contestant No. 66 came out, the subtitles clearly read k.466 in capitals.

Before Yudong had time to explode the pot in the meeting room, Lin Pengfei shouted: "What the hell!?"

On the screen, Li An, who was sitting straight in front of the piano, suddenly raised his hands.

Qin Yong could see that although Li An's movements were fast, they were a little blunt and unnatural, as if he hadn't made enough preparations.

Then he can make a conclusion based on this——

Ang Lee did not temporarily change the repertoire, but the temporary conductor made a mistake in panic.
-
Under all kinds of gazes, Li An moved.

The moment before the band sounded in his ear, he was still writing the passionate K466 in his heart, when the band really remembered that moment.

He was dazed at first, then quickly looked at the podium.

At this moment he already understood what was happening on the stage.

The band went wrong!
However, his indescribable expression was only seen by the live broadcast room and some of the audience, and Hou Zhentao didn't notice him.

Seeing that the first quarter is over.

There was a commotion at the scene.

Ang Lee swears that this is the scariest one-bar ensemble he has ever heard in his life, even if it is as bright and majestic as E-flat major.

He didn't have time to sort out his thoughts and how to deal with it, he didn't even have time to think about whether to stand up and call a stop, so he just looked at Hou Zhentao and then raised his hands subconsciously and happily!

Fingers dropped in the circle!
"when-"

Are you stuck?

He is not sure, because this is his first time working with an orchestra k271.

After playing the first lead, he heard the band start again, and he dropped his finger again after four beats.

The piano will complete the opening dialogue with the band, and then there will be a band part that lasts about one and a half minutes.

Li An took out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

The stage at this moment didn't feel hot to him anymore, he only felt a chill down his back.

In the end, this kind of situation happened at the end, he never thought of it.

So do you want to stop?
If he got up and stopped the band now, no one could blame him.

Because this is the organizer's mistake.

His rights as a finalist are being violated at the moment.

Playing Yun Xiang's memories first, he has already made some self-sacrifice in cooperation with the organizer.

This is the final scene of the most authoritative adult piano competition in China!

His original idea was to play Yunxiang Memories for the second piece. He believed that putting his Yunxiang Memories later would create a stronger live atmosphere for the end of his performance.

But he chooses to understand.

Thank you for your understanding.

understand the director.

Understand that there are various leaders and nearly two thousand spectators waiting outside.

Understand that tens of thousands of people are watching the major live broadcast platforms.

Understand that the race is on.

So he hardly hesitated and accepted the arrangement of the director team.

But what did he gain in exchange for his understanding?

If he had insisted on meeting Hou Zhentao before taking the stage when it was clear that he wanted to change the conductor, the current situation would definitely not have happened.

It will only delay everyone for a while, but what does that have to do with him.

It's not his fault.

So who is wrong.

In the final analysis, it was Hou Zhentao.

It was the opponent's confusion that caused me to prepare K466 for so long, and finally hit a squib.

Thinking of the big brother who was standing on the podium at this moment, Li An felt very complicated.

To be honest, the other party helped him a lot in the past two days.

The exchange with each other was pleasant and informative.

During the entire communication process, Ang Lee felt that the other party didn't talk so much to him just because Mr. Xie asked him to take care of him who had never worked with the orchestra.

A very warm and friendly person.

He believed that the other party must not have done it on purpose tonight.

So the problem goes back to the beginning.

Do you want to get up and call a stop?

Although the emotions were messed up, I couldn't stop listening to Mozart's performance at the Yanjiao scene at close range.

String music is too silky in Mozart's orchestral works, Ang Lee looked at the first violin following the wonderful timbre by his ear.

The first violin noticed his gaze and gave him a comforting look.

Li An reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth, then nodded and looked at the podium again.

Hou Zhentao was waving his baton enthusiastically.

Li Ang didn't know if the other party had noticed the major accident on the stage at this moment.

But if he were Hou Zhentao, even if he made a mistake, he would not stop under the watchful eyes of two thousand pairs of eyes.

This will greatly affect the image of a conductor on stage.

So do you want to stop.

Li An smiled wryly.

His call to stop will definitely leave Hou Zhentao on the stage.

Don't even think about it.

There was a lot of noise on and off the stage.

This is tantamount to slapping the opponent in the face in public.

At the same time, this slap also slapped Mr. Xie in the face.

Slapped the organizer in the face.

Slapped the Xinghai Cup in the face.

Slapped the theater in the face.

In the end, he slapped half of the Yanjing piano circle in the face.

Then what can he get.

A chance to start over.

A so-called fairness.

Is it worth it?

Ang Lee didn't know.

Thinking about it, he never had a chance to win the championship, let alone now.

Even if he starts again, can his state return to just now, can the atmosphere of the scene return to the stage atmosphere he created with Yunxiang's memories?
If he takes another step back, he will perform this song k271 according to the flow.
over.

Not only has everyone's decency been preserved, it even includes his decency.

No choice.

Li An has completely calmed down.

If he can stand up before the band starts, or shout something softly on stage, that's fine.

But the music has come here.

He really has no choice.

So can K271 play.

can.

He is sure of at least two and a half movements.

Come on.

K271.

Putting away all emotions, Li An's eyes returned to his eyes.

Even if it's k271, isn't it still his final stage?

He has to live up to this moment.
-
Ang Lee's one and a half points are also one and a half points for everyone present.

Those who know the situation and those who don't know the situation, everyone has seen it.

The player in front of the piano let out a long sigh, then smiled again and raised his hands to loosen his cuffs.

Seeing this scene, Wang Dali breathed a sigh of relief in the background, and Zhao Weilin, who was in the middle of the judging panel, also breathed a sigh of relief.

They were really afraid that Ang Lee would suddenly stand up and interrupt the band.

Wu Fusheng and the other contestants couldn't empathize, but they knew that Li An in front of the piano must be very uncomfortable.

Which contestant has not imagined the moment of the final!
Regardless of the result, Chen Xuan just wanted to wait until the end of the game to give Li An a big hug.

Lin Youyou has nothing to say, it's a pity, then listen to Ang Lee's K271, come on.

Yuan Xiaoyu admired the courage of this colleague.

Although Qin Yong is also very sorry, but how to say, there are always two sides to everything.

With the reappearance of the motives of the first violin and the second violin, Qin Yong's eyes refocused on the piano.

As a conductor who once conducted K271, he knew that the piano would officially debut after three measures.

It is also clear that Boss X, who is watching the online live broadcast in Seoul, has a similar perspective as Qin Yong.

The situation is already like this, so it may be an opportunity for Li An to change the angle.
-
The string group was impassioned, and the wind group played an exciting continuous staccato.

At this moment, a group of grainy vibrato cut through the sky and landed in the center of the stage.

vibrato.

Another tremolo that lasted twelve beats.

As if destined, Ang Lee had to play a super long note in the last track of the final stage to evoke the life of the stage.

Different from Yunxiang’s idea of ​​recalling the first vibrato, K271’s first vibrato has no idea, and can only be played by feeling and state.

Mozart's vibrato should be free and agile.

So he quickly touches the keys with just the tip of two fingers.

The crystal-clear vibrato spread from the raised castanets to all directions of the stage.

It also reached Hou Zhentao's ears.

Hou Zhentao seemed to have been greatly encouraged, and his energy doubled in an instant.

When the vibrato behind him was about to end, he swung the baton horizontally to signal all parts to tune in.

The next four bars are piano solos.

The band received an order to silence their respective voices, leaving only the light piano melody floating towards the audience like the wind.

Although Ang Lee has played not many Mozart works, there are quite a few. Through the accumulation of practice over this period of time, he has realized the essence of the Mozart major allegro is two words - be steady.

No matter how cheerful the melody is, no matter how exciting the motivation of the music, a stable premise must be established.

Speed ​​processing is a difficult problem for every Mozart player. With the double blessing of rhythm and rhythm, speed selection has almost become the primary problem before interpreting Mozart.

Under his steady speed control, the first movement came to the left-hand continuous triplet part.

Ang Lee lowered the height of the entire hand by turning the wrist with his left hand by half a finger, trying to ensure the fullness of the triplet and a balanced forward speed through fast finger pad touch.

A suitable forward speed is as fresh and flowing as a clear spring, but it still lacks amplitude and color.

After completing the first movement in the dialogue with the band, Ang Lee ushered in his second movement.

Similarly, the tragic string music brought the whole hall into a gray and heavy atmosphere.

However, Ang Lee did not try to break up this atmosphere with bright piano sounds.

Mozart's music is balanced, but this does not mean that the player must find a point where the orchestra and the piano can compete, and then solve the problem.

In Ang Lee's view, such a balance is too superficial.

Mozart's balance is complex, even contradictory.

It is undoubtedly a kind of slander to simply summarize Mozart into a few characteristics.

As long as the player is a little careless, in order to deliberately pursue balance, he will slide towards the elegant elegance of ancient Greece, or the brilliance composed by light and love.

Therefore, to play Mozart, in Ang Lee's opinion, it is necessary to switch between free and fixed at any time.

Flowing water does not compete.

The waves are far away.

Along with the rich pathos of the second movement, Ang Lee chose to expand this emotion further.

He has almost achieved the transitional sculpting of the timbre, and he amplifies every note in the sub-theme with extremely delicate touch keys.

The enhanced emotional color gradually exudes a colorful poetic flavor in the grainy and large narrative.

"when--"

Suddenly, an extremely piercing dissonance appeared in the intoxicatingly graceful melody.

However, Li An in front of the piano continued to play calmly, as if he was not affected by such a wrong sound at all.

Play the second movement all the way to the end.

It is worth mentioning that he made another wrong note at the end of the second movement.

It doesn't hurt at the moment.

As soon as the music entered the third movement, the entire concert hall entered the final climax amidst the passionate performance of the orchestra.

Li An opened fire with both hands and started the final run.

Anasitaya in the audience couldn't help being a little surprised to hear such a dynamic third movement, and the contestant was imitating her handling.

That's right.

Apart from controlling the absolute speed, Ang Lee no longer has any scruples in this movement.

Since he didn't have any preparations for this movement, he could only think of the master class he had taken some time ago when he played it here.

He also carefully studied Master Sitaya's elf-like timbre after the master class, so he took it out at this moment.

Under the spotlight, the sky is full of musical notes.

The more passionate Ang Lee's performance was, the higher the atmosphere at the scene.

At the end of the day, people who are familiar with k271 can no longer see even a little shadow of K271.

When performers are keen to fill in the gaps in Mozart's music spectrum, they must have a certain range so that well-educated listeners will not have to prick their ears to understand.

Although this is true, the premise is that the performer must be able to memorize the score.

At the last moment, on the golden stage, the sweaty performers in front of the piano had already started improvising.

The tonality of the movement revolves around the difficult technique of the tonality, and the rapid sound group runs, and the poetic chants are sung without thinking.

Singing immersion, the flow of inspiration and inspiration.

All of this finally turned into a sentence that a modern pianist wants to ask Mozart.

at such a moment.

"Master Mo, why isn't K271 two movements?"

That way he wouldn't have to blush playing Mozart improv in front of the nation.

Really, it's hard to think of that as a nice feeling.

As the last set of notes of the piano part fell, Hou Zhentao closed his hands, and the band ended perfectly.

The hall, which was incomparably magnificent one second, was completely silent the next second.

The audience didn't seem ready for the end, but the music did, and there were some who felt that the piece should not have ended the way it did.

Up to this moment, there are still people immersed in the second movement that was just so hard to extricate themselves.

But the three movements of K271 have indeed all ended.

Li An also stood up gently from the piano.

anyway.

He tried his best.

next second.

"Wow—————————————————"
