Pianos, from the moment they appeared, were highly sought after by the upper class!
Although pianists were not as famous as celebrities, their social influence and status were much higher than those of celebrities!
In the eyes of the upper-class society, the piano was an art and a cultural influence. Pianists were people who needed to be respected! No matter where they went, they would be treated as distinguished guests! In their eyes, a celebrity was at most an actress, an actress who could earn money!
It was one thing to use them to earn money, but it was impossible to gain the same respect as pianists!
Even ordinary people knew that those celebrities were only there for entertainment. It was fine to see them happy on TV, but pianists needed to be respected!
This was reflected in the fact that when they walked into the concert venue, as soon as the pianist started playing, everyone subconsciously held their breaths and did not dare to disturb him!
From this, it could be seen that the identities of these two were worlds apart!
While everyone was discussing, the middle-aged man, who was also the host of this competition, bowed slightly to the three judges before saying,"Now, I announce the official start of this piano competition!”
"The first to perform on stage is the chief pianist of Changchuan Musical Instrument Store, Mr. Liu Ming!”
Following the host's words, a round of applause sounded from below. Amidst the applause, a well-dressed middle-aged man in a black tuxedo walked up to the stage and bowed to the audience.
He had a head of slightly curly long hair and walked with a refined aura, making people have a good impression of him at first glance.
This person was the chief pianist of Changchuan Musical Instrument Store, Liu Ming!
After he bowed, he went straight to the white piano on the stage and placed the score on the white music stand. He straightened his back and before he placed his hands on the piano, he turned his head and nodded at the audience.
Seeing this scene, the host said in a timely manner,"This time, Liu Ming will be playing Menersong's 'Wonderland in A Major' for us. Please let us listen carefully! I'll leave the rest to you, Liu Ming!"
Hearing the emcee's words, the audience below immediately began to discuss in low voices.
"Wow, I didn't expect it to be 'Wonderland in A Major.' This is one of the songs for the piano level 13 examination. It's very difficult!”
In this world, culture was very prosperous. The cultural development of various countries showed the momentum of a hundred flowers blooming. Therefore, in terms of music, there were strict standards.
The piano assessment was divided into 15 levels. Only those who had passed the piano level 12 could be called professional pianists! Generally speaking, piano teachers in universities and even high schools must have a piano certificate of level 12 or above before they could teach!
"It's naturally difficult for us, but for Liu Ming and the others, it's still easy!”
"Hehe, this is a blessing! To be able to hear Liu Ming and the others personally perform "Wonderland in A Major" was simply a stroke of luck!”
While the crowd was discussing, some people took out their phones and turned on the camera mode, intending to record everything.
After all, this was a piano piece that Liu Ming had personally performed. If he could record it, it would be a capital that attracted attention, whether he continued to savor it or showed it off!
Just as everyone was discussing, Liu Ming placed his hands on the keys of the piano after sorting out his mood.
Upon seeing this scene, the faint whispers that had originally been there suddenly disappeared.
Everyone in the audience, regardless of their age or gender, was completely focused.
This was a yearning for art and respect for pianists!
His status was thus highlighted!
Under everyone's gaze, Liu Ming gently tapped the first key, and the performance…officially began!
The pleasant sound of the zither was heard. Liu Ming's gaze lingered on the score from time to time. Although his eyes were not looking at the keys, every strike was extremely accurate.
He had an intoxicated look on his face as he swayed back and forth to the rhythm. His elegant tone spread throughout the cafe, causing many viewers to be intoxicated.
"With A major as the key, it is a trilogy of reappearance with an introduction and an ending. The introduction is 1 - 5 bars, and it is composed of a phrase!”The moment the music sounded, these memories appeared in Lin Xuan's mind.
This was Liszt's music knowledge!
At this moment, Lin Xuan was listening to Liu Ming's performance of "Wonderland in A Major" as he nodded slightly to the rhythm. He leaned against the back of the sofa and gently shook the lemon juice in his hand. He looked as lazy as a petty aristocrat.
It had to be said that the pianist, Liu Ming, was quite capable. He was able to perform "Wonderland in A Major" to such an extent. Just this alone was enough to hold a concert!
However, compared to Lin Xuan, it was still not enough!
" Section A is divided into two phrases: measure 6 to measure 32, measure 6 to measure 17 is the first phrase, measure 18 to measure 32 is the second phrase, section B is measure 33 to measure 55, and reproduction section A1 is measure 56 to measure 72. It is a variation reproduction and presents a richer theme, but it ends on the first chord of A major in the first beat of measure 72.”At this point, Lin Xuan suddenly frowned.
When he heard this, he suddenly realized that the other party had lengthened a section in the subsequent section. Although ordinary people could not hear it, it was very ear-piercing to a pianist like Lin Xuan!
Indeed, Lin Xuan discovered that the three judges sitting in the judging panel could not help but frown.
Soon, the performance of " Wonderland in A Major " was completed. Liu Ming frowned unnoticed, but he quickly composed himself and bowed to the audience with a smile.
"Thank you, thank you, Liu Ming, for your performance. It's really a heavenly sound, just like a celestial sound. It's so beautiful that it lingers in my ears for three days!”At this moment, the emcee sighed in admiration.
Upon hearing the host's praise, the audience finally woke up from their intoxicated state. Their faces were filled with intoxication, and they revealed expressions of not having wasted their trip.
"That's great! It felt as if he was inside!”
"That's right! I can even feel that I'm in a fairyland with elk and rabbits surrounding me!”
"Teacher Liu Ming's skills have improved again!”
The audience praised him!
