The rest time is half an hour.

Audiences can go to drink water or go to the lobby outside the hall to walk around.

You can also stay in the seat and discuss the ended four-person performance with the people around you.

Anyway, they had to find something to occupy the half hour.

Shen Qingci and Yiglaz's two 'outside judges' were arguing endlessly about the third movement that Ivanov had just played.

It could be heard from their tone that Riglaz was somewhat dissatisfied with Shen Qingci's harsh treatment of Ivanov.

The reason is - Shen Qingci directly pointed out the five wrong notes Ivanov made in the third movement, "Wrong notes are always a taboo in competitions."

Of course Iglaz knew that he didn't need Shen Qingci to teach him this, even though the other party was his idol, "But you have to admit that Ivanov grasped the big structure of the third movement very well, especially the dance rhythm and

The integration of gorgeous melodies, I think this piece of processing is beyond his years."

Shen Qingci understood this better, "You are right, but I only evaluate it from the perspective of competition. Wrong pronunciation means wrong playing, which is a point deduction."

Seeing that the other party didn't offer any more arguments to argue with him, Ygraz suddenly didn't know what to say anymore.

He just wanted to express his love for Ivanov's third movement. He didn't understand why Shen Qingci insisted on worrying about a few wrong notes.

Liao Linjun kept shaking his head at the side, and the conversation between the two people next to him was not on the same channel.

...

At the judges' table, Branjano was still thinking about what score he should give Ivanov.

He admired Ivanov's third movement very much, but he could not ignore the few wrong notes made by the other party.

From the first lesson he took under Anjie Yi, Anjie Yi has been emphasizing to him that wrong notes are a taboo in piano playing.

'Mistonic means that the player is not skilled enough. A skilled person will not mispronounce. There is no so-called mentality. People with a poor mentality are not suitable to sit in front of the piano.'

Branjano has always believed in this sentence since then, and a skilled person will not mispronounce it.

This directly affected his subsequent growth experience. He always reminded himself not to make mistakes when playing the piano. For this reason, he always spent an hour more practicing piano every day in college than Ogg and Igraz.

This may also be an important reason why he finally won that competition. He didn't play a single note wrong in Xiao Yi in the finals of that competition.

So at this moment, the two voices in his heart were fighting fiercely -

‘Give Ivanov a high score, he played a high-level concerto’

‘No, Ivanov is not really proficient in this piece of music’

After much hesitation, he picked up his pen and wrote down 17.8.

This score is lower than Fred and Natsuki Aso, but higher than Bayliss.

...

Ivanov's teacher did not participate in the judges' discussion. He knew that Ivanov had no chance of winning the final prize.

For no other reason than Ivanov was not the best performer among the four players who had already performed.

There are still two players left today, and there are five players left tomorrow.

He didn't need to think about it anymore, the Russians had already lost this Chopin Competition.

Not only him, but also several other Russian judges were slightly silent.

But their work is not over yet, they still have the ability to decide who will win the final prize.

...

With a long bell ringing at the scene, the game continued.

The male host came on stage and read out Angel's personal information.

At the backstage entrance, Angel is preparing for her final entrance.

Qin Jian also accompanied Duan Ran to the rest room to prepare, accompanied by Lin Chaoge.

"It's okay, you two can do whatever you need to do, just pretend I don't exist."

Lin Chaoge said this after entering the room.

...

"Wow——————"

The host exits and Angel comes on stage.

Today, Angel has a braid with an oriental style, and she is wearing a narrow purple dress that outlines her exquisite figure.

Amid warm applause, she bowed to the audience and then took the initiative to shake hands with Marik.

Then he leaned down and sat down, and the entire set of stage etiquette was completed in one go, which can be called a textbook example.

The applause fell.

Rachel used a clear look to indicate to Marik that she was ready.

The music is on fire.

The violins in the string section played a descending pitch

The second half of the game officially begins.

Contestant No. 12, Rachel, Chopin Piano Concerto No. 2 in F minor.

...

The orchestra melody is full of fantasy and strangeness, revealing the naive expression of the young composer trying to compose a concerto for the first time.

Perhaps a female performer would be more in line with the musical image of this piece.

Under the same prelude music, Rachel sat in front of the piano and appeared to be more integrated into the music than Fred.

The entire scene was filled with brilliant music.

In a diminutive passage, the piano comes on stage.

Rachel's fingers moved.

As soon as the dominant tone comes out, the whole world seems to be silent.

The Steinway under Rachel's fingers seemed to have never been a piano, but like a harp.

Like the sound of nature, like the sound of clear spring.

Her first movement is more romantic than Fred's.

She performed all the long phrases with singing lines.

The tone is gentle and moving, like a recitative in an opera.

Off the stage, the audience silently felt the brilliance of the modern piano genre in the most orthodox Polish national music.

The modern genre of piano, which focuses on exploring the sound effects of the piano, is also fully reflected at this moment.

When the music reaches the second movement, Rachel continues to use this tone to make dramatic transitions in various motives.

The piano melody undergoes layered and subtle changes with the blessing of the orchestra's symphony.

The rhythmic intensity is handled naturally, and the melody intention is confident.

Gradually, under Rachel's coordination, the music took on a tender, sweet and ethereal image.

Such a musical image has never appeared in Angel's previous rounds of performances.

An exciting feeling suddenly arose in the hearts of every audience member in the audience.

Everyone seems to want to see how this American girl, who is taciturn in front of the media cameras, will play her inner world on the piano.

As everyone knows, Xiao Er is a love letter written by Chopin to a girl he had a crush on.

The second movement is the most touching part of this love letter.

...

Qin Jian had expectations, but more of them were unexpected.

To be honest, he didn't believe that Rachel would play the whole song from beginning to end as it started.

He guessed that the other party would make some changes at the end of the first movement or the second movement.

It's just that he didn't expect that the other party would change in such a way.

In his opinion, this is not the part that the other party should be good at.

A person who always deals with music rationally suddenly becomes emotional in his performance. This is no longer a matter of stepping out of a safe zone.

Thinking deeply, Qin Jian thought about the other party's music selection again, listening to the music that sounded like a lover's whisper in his ears.

Suddenly he seemed to understand.

The reason why the other party chose this piece may not be a matter of physical performance at all.

"This is a sword move that goes astray."

Qin Jian suddenly realized.

...

“Ingenious design.”
