Chapter 137 A crucial question! (Please subscribe!)
"Temporarily called "Piano Sonata in A Major"!"

Li Zhifan said calmly.

The piece he is going to play today is called "Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 11 in A Major (KV.331)", generally referred to as "Mozart K331".

This is not only a sonata with the most Mozart style, but also a piano piece that is very familiar to people all over the world in different time and space.

Hearing the name, most of the people at the scene recited it silently.

Even including Li Wendi and several judges!

Only the chief judge, Clyde Weir, said directly: "Start your playing!"

Li Zhifan nodded, turned around, walked to the piano and sat down.

Dozens of pairs of eyes on and off the stage were staring, waiting to hear how the most amazing talent player in this competition would show off his piano skills.

It's weird because Li Zhifan actually played his own repertoire in the competition, even in today's rematch.

As for his genius, most people agree, even Li Wendi has to admit, how amazing is that song "The Bell"!

Purely technical piano pieces have very low requirements for melodiousness and emotion.

Most of the classical etudes handed down in this world are boring and lifeless.

Moreover, the recognized top ten most technically difficult piano pieces all sound messy, and some master pianists can still enjoy their performances, while pianists at a slightly lower level always give people the feeling of being in a hurry.

But Li Zhifan broke this pattern. He made these piano lovers realize that purely technical piano music can also be pleasant to the ear.

Today, Li Zhifan brought another self-created song, will this time be more difficult than "The Clock"?
Will it be another classic that can be discussed?

When Li Zhifan raised his hands and still hadn't landed on the keys in mid-air, the contestants in the audience became excited, staring without blinking, for fear of missing every second.

"It's time to play! It's time to play!"

"I'm so nervous!"

"It's not you playing, why are you nervous?"

"Shh!"

In everyone's anticipation, the piano finally sounded!
The beating notes sprinkled the audience!
The graceful melody is full of poetic and fantasy colors, bringing a touch of freshness and sunshine to people.

The first movement of "K331" consists of a theme and six variations, also known as the Spring Sonata.

The theme is a two-part piece, the melody is quiet and beautiful, full of charm, and short legatos and staccatos appear constantly in the music.

Li Zhifan raised his wrist very naturally after each small legato.

And in the staccato, the wrist and the arm are raised very smoothly at the same time, as if cutting something.

The notes played are clean and clear, with few sustained notes, the details are handled so well, and the changes in dynamics are evenly expressed, even a few judges may not be able to do it.

After the theme, at the 19th bar, the music style changed and entered the first variation.

Due to the addition of rests in the melody, the rhythm of the theme has changed. The continuous 16th notes make the piece light and lively, full of jumping.

At the same time, the rhythm of the left-hand accompaniment is distinct and full of vitality. The theme tone is disassembled and included in the backbone sound. The left-hand octave accompaniment in the second half adds a majestic and deep feeling to the music.

The contestants in the audience were suddenly shocked, and each of them clenched their fists excitedly.

"It's changed!" Someone said softly.

Someone's mouth was open, and his face was full of longing.

Some people didn't even dare to vent their anger, for fear of disturbing their listening carefully, their eyes were fixed on every movement of Li Zhifan's hands.

The change from the theme to the first part has not been fully recollected by everyone. At the 37th bar, the music suddenly entered the second variation.

Li Zhifan added some decorative notes to his right hand, and the melody instantly became rich and gorgeous, while his left hand changed into continuous triplets, making the music more beautiful and smoother.

A few members of the judges nodded silently. According to the first section of the theme, they played two different pieces of music. The two styles were laid out layer by layer without being muddled, and the combination was very exciting.

However, what surprised them was that when the piano piece entered the 55th bar, there was a third variation.

The previous theme and the first and second variations were all performed in A major, but when it came to the third variation, it was suddenly switched to A minor, and the mood of the music also changed instantly, bringing out melancholy and mournful colors.

This song "K331" was written by Mozart in the second half of the 18th century. At that time, Mozart's mother lived with him in Paris in order to take care of him, but unfortunately contracted a terrible cold. Soon after, Mozart's mother died in a foreign country, so here In the third variation of the first piano piece, there is a faint sadness.

The first four measures are from weak to strong, and the last four measures are repeated at eight o'clock, which adds a bit of dreaminess to this sad mood.

The song suddenly changed from relaxed to sad, which caught everyone on the scene by surprise.

But Li Zhifan's performance and the attractiveness of the piano music itself quickly brought them into the scene, as if their souls were hooked by the music.

Just when everyone was immersed in this atmosphere, the music suddenly switched back to A major, the sound level became richer and more three-dimensional in an instant, and the color of the music became brighter.
Clyde Weir's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that there would be a fourth variation. Counting the previous theme, this is already the fifth paragraph. And he, who has rich experience, heard Li Zhifan's voice in this variation. When the voice part is carried out, the technique of polyphony is used.

And I saw that while Li Zhifan was playing chords with his right hand, his left hand actually crossed his right hand, overlapping and strengthening the middle part in the high-pitched area.

Clyde Weir has never seen a second one in his life to be able to achieve several variations that are not the same, but perfectly fit the theme. This level of creation!
Section 91, the fifth variation of the piano piece.

The playing speed has slowed down a lot, and the melody is full of pastoral atmosphere.

Section 110, the sixth variation of the piano piece.

This is the last variation of the first movement, and the contestants in the audience couldn't see it anymore, because Li Zhifan's hands were running scales and breaking down chords, as well as fast octave jumps and arpeggios.

In terms of playing strength, there is an obvious contrast between strength and weakness. Even without looking, they can hear that the melody is more lively, lively and full of passion.

When Li Zhifan vigorously played two chords on the piano with both hands, the audience was instantly pulled back from the music by him.

However, at this time someone finally discovered a crucial problem!

That's a matter of time!
"Hey, have you noticed the time? It's been fourteen minutes!"

"Huh? Isn't it?"

"I'm going, how time flies so fast!"

"Unconsciously!"

"This is the sixth time, do you want to turn again?"

"You mean... isn't it over?"

Everyone craned their necks to look at Li Zhifan in front of the piano, including the judges. After glancing at their watches, they stared at Li Zhifan solemnly again.

The section just now was obviously the end after the climax!

Now that Li Zhifan has stopped, he should get up and leave, right?

However, no one expected it!

Li Zhifan actually put his hands on the keys again!
One reviewer couldn't help exclaiming in a low voice:

"What? He still plays?"
