Chapter 184 The Lowest and Highest Scores of "The Skylark"(2/2)
For her, if her daughter can participate in the semi-finals, it is already a success, so the psychological burden is not that heavy.
Therefore, she was very happy when she heard the sound of her daughter's piano coming out and it sounded very pleasant to the ears.
Mother Chen's reaction on the side was a little strange.
The moment she heard the beginning of the song, she suddenly turned her head to look at Mother Lu. She had a question to ask, but she stopped talking as soon as she reached her lips.
Because this piece of music is very familiar to her.
Chen Wenhan once played this piece of music at home for the elders of the Chen family to listen to.
The elders of the Chen family were very satisfied with this piece of music, so they came up with the idea of buying it.
However, at that time, Chen Wenhan only said who composed the piece, but did not say who had played it.
Therefore, Chen's mother never knew that the song "Skylark" was Lu Xiang'er's entry.
She was very confused and wanted to question Mother Lu, but now it was time for the contestants to compete.
As a violinist, she still has this quality, but she can only hold it back.
…
on the stage.
Lu Xiang'er continued to play, and the violin's bow strings became faster and faster, especially the vibrato of the E string, as if a group of "skylarks" were emitting the loudest chirping at night after a heavy rain.
The sound is pleasant to the ear and extremely vivid.
The audience at the scene seemed to have really heard the cry of the "skylark", and they all raised their eyebrows with expressions of surprise.
Not only the audience at the scene, but also the judges on the judges' bench also showed expressions of surprise.
Some judges even looked at each other and expressed their surprise at hearing such a unique violin piece.
Of course, some judges don't like it.
Because competing with a new piece of music and having to change the accompaniment of the symphony orchestra is inappropriate for some more traditional judges.
However, most international competitions do not prohibit contestants from choosing new songs to participate.
Because the development of art needs to move forward slowly.
It is impossible to stay in the wheel of history forever. Once the performance of the violin can no longer improve, it means that this instrument has no future.
Therefore, the International Violin Competition allows the selection of new music and encourages artistic progress.
The technical difficulty of "Skylark" is very high. Lu Xiang'er relied on her talent and hard work to win this piece solidly.
Fang Xing's piano accompaniment is just right.
In fact, when Lu Xiang'er played "Skylark", it was not without shortcomings.
However, that is not entirely Lu Xiang'er's problem.
Because the violin is a bowed string instrument.
Bowed string instruments have unique timbres and unique playing techniques.
Since there is only one bow, some melodies cannot be played.
Not just violins, many musical instruments have similar characteristics.
Not just any melody can be played by any instrument.
For example, a melody with extremely exaggerated scale jumps will be very difficult for the violin to play.
Therefore, occasionally violinists will appear and complain about composers who do not understand the violin and write scores that cannot be played by humans.
One of the reasons why Paganini is a violin master is that he created many surprising playing techniques.
These playing techniques are all included in his 24 Caprices.
Some of these playing techniques are hard to break down for beginners.
Lu Xiang'er's performance was already very good, and Fang Xing used the piano to help her make up for the remaining shortcomings.
It makes the whole song "Skylark" pleasant and almost perfect.
The light and lively sound of the piano sounds like thousands of birds singing.
The audience at the scene was surprised from the beginning, to pleasant surprise, and then to enjoyment.
The more musically literate the audience is, the more powerful they will be able to hear this piece of music.
In the auditorium.
Mother Chen's face looked gloomy and uncertain.
She had heard this piece before, but only Chen Wenhan's solo.
Moreover, Chen Wenhan only practiced a few times at that time, so the effect he had when he played in front of his elders was average.
Now Lu Xiang'er's performance is accompanied by a symphony orchestra, and her level has improved a lot.
The more Mother Chen listened, the more complicated her mood became.
Because she has been certain that this piece of music will definitely have a chance to become a masterpiece.
At that time, Chen Lipeng said that he could not buy this piece of music. Chen's mother thought that she could forget it if she could not buy it. Now she began to regret it.
This piece of music is simply priceless.
As long as you can get this piece of music, any price is worth it.
It’s just that it’s meaningless to think about these things now.
The performance continues.
The sound of the violin is like a skylark in the sky, and the sound of the piano is like the clouds in the blue sky. They complement each other, creating a sense of hearing that starts with technology but is higher than technology.
The seven judges on the judges' bench began to nod involuntarily, showing expressions of admiration.
Even the old-timey judge thought that the contestant who used the new song was too avant-garde, but he still recognized in his heart that the song was indeed very good.
It ends with the last melody playing.
Fang Xing withdrew his hands from the piano, raised his head and slowly exhaled.
Fang Xing also tried his best to play this section. Wandering in the ocean of piano sound, he was both happy and exhausted.
Lu Xiang'er had a similar feeling. The fast playing technique consumed a lot of her energy. After the performance, she panted slightly and bowed to the audience, judges, and orchestra to thank her.
At the end of the performance, the First East Symphony Orchestra began to slowly exit.
The seven judges began to score.
Because the song for this contestant is a piece that has never been heard before, scoring is more troublesome than other contestants.
The slightly rigid judge thought for a moment with a serious expression, and finally scored 80 points.
The scoring rule of the Paganini International Violin Competition is that the full score is 100 points, but the minimum score is not 0 points, but 70 points.
In other words, 80 points is an extremely low score and also represents the attitude of the judge.
If it weren't for the quality of this song "Skylark", he would even give it the lowest score of 70 points.
However, some Pioneer judges liked this violin piece very much and gave it a very high score.
During the scoring process, the judges cannot communicate with each other.
After the seven judges finished scoring, the highest score and the lowest score were removed, and the average score was finally calculated.
The score was announced, 95.16 points.
As soon as this score came out, the audience immediately burst into noise.
Because this score has surpassed Patrick Pate and became the current highest score.
The two mothers in the audience were stunned at the same time.
One wants to be ecstatic, but is worried that the score will be wrong.
One has mixed feelings in his heart, and his expression is almost unbearable.
