Chapter 184 The lowest and highest scores of "Skylark"

Genoa Theater.

When the contestants played the competition songs, the audience listened quietly.

When the contestants finished playing and the judges began to give scores, the audience began to discuss quietly.

After all, it is a competition, and the audience always likes to evaluate which player's performance is good, which player's rating is high, and which player's rating is low.

After Chen Wenhan played Paganini's Violin Concerto No. 2 in B minor, the audience generally felt that his performance was very good.

However, the scoring standards of the Paganini International Violin Competition have always been the most stringent among major international competitions, so although Chen Wenhan's score was high, it still did not reach the gold medal score.

Chen's mother is a little disappointed, but at least for now her son is still the player with the highest score in this competition.

Even if you don't get the gold medal, you can still get first place in this competition.

Immediately afterwards.

The fourth player came on the stage and got a final score of 90.12, which was lower than Chen Wenhan's score.

Soon, the fifth player came, Patrick Pate came on.

The performance was Paganini's Violin Concerto No. 1 in D major. This piece is one of Paganini's famous pieces and is the one most frequently performed by violinists.

Patrick Pate's level is indeed very high. He has achieved the best at the technical level and is beginning to pursue a higher level.

When Chen's mother was young, she also won awards in international violin competitions. Her violin skills were very high, so when she heard Patrick Pate's performance, she knew it was extraordinary.

She became nervous, knowing that this Austrian player was her son's fierce rival.

After Patrick Pate finished playing, Mother Chen began to feel nervous.

Because in her feeling, Patrick Pate's performance in this game was on par with her son.

She was worried that this was because of the family filter, which led to her making mistakes in judgment.

She turned around and asked Mother Lu: "What do you think of this Austrian player's performance?"

Mother Lu was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Although Mother Lu has a certain ability to appreciate music, she is not up to a professional level, so she can only follow Mother Chen's words and say: "It sounds okay, but I'm not a professional, and I don't know what the level is."

Amidst the murmurs of the audience.

The judges gave the final score of 95.07 points.

As soon as this score came out, Chen's mother was stunned.

Because this score is 0.47 points higher than her son's score of 94.60.

There are not many high scores, indicating that the gap between the two is actually not big.

After all, the scores are related to the subjective feelings of the judges. A difference of a few tenths of a point really doesn't prove anything.

However, Patrick Pate's score of 95.07 reached the score line for the Paganini Competition gold medal.

This means that there will be no vacant gold medals in this year's Paganini International Violin Competition.

What Chen Wenhan couldn't get, Patrick Pate got it.

Mother Chen's expression darkened and she felt very complicated.

Mother Lu on the side suddenly froze there, not daring to speak or look at Mother Chen.

At this time, the more comforting, the less suitable it is, and besides, the two of them are not that familiar.

Immediately afterwards, the sixth contestant appeared.

The order Lu Xiang'er drew was number six.

After the judges gave Patrick Pate the score, the accompaniment band began to leave the stage.

A new symphony orchestra took the stage and began to adjust the instruments.

The audience at the scene expressed doubts when they saw the change of accompaniment band.

Under normal circumstances, in order to ensure the fairness of the competition, the accompanying symphony orchestra is hired by the organizer.

Most of the audience who come to watch the Paganini International Violin Competition are from the symphony circle.

So some spectators know the rules of the game and explain them to the people next to them.

The symphony orchestra responsible for the accompaniment of the Paganini International Violin Competition is indeed hired by the competition organizer, but there is a special situation where the symphony orchestra can be changed.

That is when the symphony orchestra hired by the organizer cannot complete the accompaniment.

In fact, this situation rarely occurs.

After all, the repertoire selected by the contestants is usually world famous, and it is impossible for a well-known symphony orchestra to not play it.

The track submitted by Lu Xiang'er this time is quite special.

The symphony orchestra hired by the organizer cannot provide accompaniment.

Therefore, this rule has been adopted in the competition, and players can arrange their own accompanying symphony orchestra.

This rule, at first glance, seems to have loopholes that can be exploited.

If you have enough financial resources, the contestants can hire the world's top symphony orchestra to accompany them, and the effect will definitely be better.

But there is a premise, that is, the contestant must choose a brand new violin piece in order to use this rule.

However, it is impossible to choose a brand-new violin piece to beat a world-famous piece.

Therefore, no player has ever achieved good results by relying on this rule.

…

The First Symphony Orchestra of Donghai Conservatory of Music appears.

Most of the musicians use their own instruments, but some instruments cannot be brought over.

For example, pianos cannot be transported from the East China Sea.

Therefore, after Fang Xing came on stage, he sat in front of the piano, played a set of arpeggios, and then began to fine-tune the piano.

Mother Chen frowned when she saw that the symphony orchestra had been changed. She looked at Mother Lu and asked, "Mrs. Lu, isn't the daughter of your family the next one to appear?"

Mother Lu nodded and replied: "Yes, it will be Xiaoxiang's performance later."

Mother Chen pointed to the symphony orchestra that was tuning on the stage: "What's going on?"

"Well, this is Dongyin's symphony orchestra. They came with us to help Xiaoxiang accompany her." Mother Lu explained casually.

Mother Chen subconsciously felt that the Lu family was pulling some tricks.

However, she glanced around and found that this symphony was full of people with black hair and black eyes, and it was not a world-famous symphony orchestra.

Changing the symphony orchestra will not have a big impact on the competition, and may even have a negative impact.

In fact.

The judges of the competition are all very professional. When scoring, they pay more attention to the performance of the violin, the main instrument.

If a contestant plays the violin poorly, it will be the same no matter what symphony orchestra accompanies him or her.

After the symphony orchestra adjusted its instruments, orchestra conductor He Zhaolin told the organizer that it could begin.

The host read out Lu Xiang'er's name and invited her to appear.

Lu Xiang'er wore a beige evening dress, stepped onto the stage, bowed to the audience, judges and orchestra, and then looked at Fang Xing.

Fang Xing smiled slightly and gave her an encouraging look.

Lu Xiang'er took a deep breath, looked at Professor He Zhaolin, and nodded to indicate that he could start.

He Zhaolin picked up the baton and struck it in the direction of the piano.

Fang Xing pressed the piano keys and took the lead in playing.

Since the rehearsal time of the symphony orchestra is relatively short, the most important part of the accompaniment is completed by the piano.

The melodious sound of the piano filled the Genoa Theater.

The vast and melodious sound of the piano played in front of the audience the scene of blue sky and white clouds, with grass growing and orioles flying.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Xiang'er's violin began to join in.

The appearance of a "skylark" immediately made the music more vivid.

Later, the addition of cello and double bass immediately enriched the whole piece.

The audience at the scene are all from the music industry and have heard most of the world's famous songs, but they have not heard of this piece.

However, the quality of the audience was very high. Although they were confused about this piece of music, they did not comment aloud, but listened with a slight frown.

They don't know the origin of this piece of music or which famous artist composed it.

But the musical literacy is there, and the audience at the scene can hear that this piece of music is extraordinary and definitely belongs to the level of famous songs handed down from generation to generation.

When Mother Lu heard the melodious sound of the piano, a faint smile appeared on her face.

She came to the competition with her daughter this time, not to win any big prizes.
