Chapter 114 Confrontation

The staff member stood in front of Fu Diao and Zhao Chengzhen, unfolded the documents in his hands, and said slowly.

"According to regulations, I must remind all of you that the third round of the Chopin International Piano Competition includes:

One Sonata in B flat minor, Op. 35 or Sonata in B flat minor, Op. 58 or Prelude, Op. 28, complete set of mazurkas from opus: 17, 24, 30, 33, 41, 50, 56, 59

, Chopin repertoire of your own choice, you can only choose if there is not enough time left in the competition to play the above repertoire!

I must remind you two that the third round of performance is 50-60 minutes long. Whether it is too short or too long, your performance will be affected, and you may even be stopped by the judges directly, preventing you from continuing to play!

Please control the time you play in the future to ensure that there will be no major problems with your performance!"

After saying that, he looked at the two of them, handed out the document in his hand, and placed it in front of them.

"Zhao Chengzhen, Mazurka selection, Op33, all No1-4, all Chopin piano preludes!"

"Fu Tiao, Chopin's Mazurka, Op33, No1-4 all, Chopin's Sonata in B flat minor, Op35, Lord Bless Poland, op.posth;, "Eroica" Polonaise in A flat major, Op53."

"Please confirm the work from both parties."

The two of them looked at each other, with a hint of confusion in their eyes.

This time, the conflict between the two was more intense than in the second round.

Not only the mazurkas in the third round, both of them chose the exact same Chopin Mazurka Op 33. The more outstanding one was that Fu Diao chose Chopin’s Heroic Polonaise.

This piece was the piece that Zhao Chengzhen shocked the audience in the second round and scored the highest score in the audience. Now Fu Tiao actually wants to choose such a piece in the third round?

Moreover, the sonata selected by Fu Tiao was also the work selected by Zhao Chengzhen in the second round.

Zhao Chengzhen obviously did not expect Fu Diao's choice of works. When he heard the heroic polonaise, he was obviously stunned and turned to look at Fu Diao with a little bit of confusion.

He had no idea why Fu Diao would choose such a work.

Counting this way, except for the Chopin Piano Prelude he played, their works almost completely collided.

The only difference is that Fu Tiaoduo played a piece called "Lord Blessed Poland", a work without any number.

This is the biggest difference between the two.

In fact, not only Zhao Chengzhen did not understand, but Fu Diao was also a little confused during practice, because he had only paid attention to his second round of works before, and did not care about his third round of works at all.

When the second round was over and he was practicing the third round and looking for a feeling, he didn't think too much and just played the piece seriously. Who doesn't practice well when there is nothing to practice? Thinking about who has played this piece before?

As a result, you are now in the third round. When the work is officially confirmed, Fu Diao will react.

I actually collided with all of Zhao Chengzhen’s works.

Although Zhao Chengzhen's Second Piano Sonata is not as good as his, his Heroic Polonaise is said to be the most awesome polonaise in the audience, even better than the one he played in the second round, with its calm Andante and

The gorgeous polonaise is even slightly stronger.

Fu Diao never thought that He Shen would choose such a work when he was choosing a work for him.

But having said that, He Shen himself may not have thought that the works he chose would completely collide, right? After all, these works were selected according to Fu Diao's personal style and the policy of the competition.

They can all hit each other...but they hit each other one after the other. It can only be said that Fu Tiao is unlucky.

"Fu, Zhao, let me confirm with you one last time, are you really not going to change your choice of works?"

Zhao Chengzhen said expressionlessly: "I won't change."

Fu Diao shook his head slightly: "I won't change it anymore."

"Okay, now that both parties have confirmed it, please sign the document in your hand, and I will pass your document to the organizing committee."

"good!"

Both parties signed at the same time. After confirming the content of Fu Diao, the staff walked over to Han, who had just come in behind, and also announced the details of the third round to him. Han and Zhao were similar. The work he chose was

Mazurka Op. 59, and all Chopin Preludes.

Fu's tune was preceded and followed by Chopin's Prelude. The originally extremely conflicting performance was restored just under Fu's polonaise, and the two would not be so conflicting.

Seeing this situation, Han in the distance was obviously a little excited.

Zhao Chengzhen's expression did not change at all. He picked up his sheet music and walked to Fu Diao. After staring into Fu Diao's eyes for a few seconds, he looked away and walked outside the concert hall.

Even if there is no enmity, there is almost no possibility of resolution between the two.

Originally, it was possible to decide the winner in the fourth round, but now it seems that in the third round, the two of them will decide the winner in advance.

The two people have almost identical works. Apart from their personal styles, you can easily tell the level of the performers.

Especially when two people are close to each other, you can better hear the difference.

One of Zhao Chengzhen and Fu Diao came in second place, and the other came in third. The works they chose were conflicting. If the judges couldn't tell the difference between Fu Diao and Zhao Chengzhen, then it would be better for them to prick their ears as early as possible.

After all...this is already the most basic and simple music identification.

Fu Tiao looked at Zhao Chengzhen's leaving figure, pursed his lips, and said nothing more, nor did he explain that this was not a work he deliberately selected specifically for Zhao Chengzhen, but had been decided on long ago.

After all, both of them knew that no one could temporarily change their works before the competition, just to target them.

It took about two years for everyone to prepare for this competition. In two years, they prepared works for four large-scale concerts. They had no extra time to focus on other people, let alone because others played them.

No matter how awesome something is, you can become even better than others by practicing it in the same few days.

There was only one reason why they crashed.

It's just luck.

So now it's very simple, either you die or I die.

Since Fu Tiao has chosen all of Zhao Chengzhen's previous works, unless Fu Tiao can directly suppress Zhao Chengzhen, leaving him with no room to breathe, or else... his journey to the championship will end here, and it will not happen at all.

There's a chance for the fourth round.

But, can he really knock Zhao Chengzhen down in the third round?

Fu Diao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, without any change in his expression.

He doesn't know, he's not sure, but he will definitely give it a try.

Use all your strength to stimulate your full potential and make yourself more perfect.

Now is the last time he can perform on his own.

Not only is it a head-on confrontation with Zhao Chengzhen, but also because in the fourth round, there will be a symphony session with the band.

It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others, so...

Fu Mingqing squeezed his fist hard, feeling the stimulation of blood circulation, then picked up the sheet of music in his hand and walked out of the concert hall.

There was still an hour left before the game, so he used the last little time to ensure his condition.

When he got to the music backstage, he no longer had the space to be alone to find his state.

…

The judges haven't all arrived yet, and they haven't received any news from the staff, so they haven't seen the tit-for-tat between the two this morning. Everyone is still eating breakfast in the hotel, casually chatting about the first round of the competition this morning.

His expression was relaxed, even with a hint of expectation.

But people in many other places have already learned about the works of Fu Tiao and Zhao Chengzhen in the second round in their own way.

At this moment, the Polish TV station had started live broadcast, and Pavel and Olga were talking in front of the TV screen, casually discussing the third round contestants of the Chopin International Piano Competition that they were optimistic about.

"Based on the news we have seen so far, we can see that the Chopin International Piano Competition is now divided into three echelons. If we are strictly counting the players in the first echelon, they are the three people we all know well, Cheng Zhen·

Zhao, Dior Fu, and Hamelin, the three of them represent

The ultimate in the three directions, I personally prefer Fu's performance, because I really hope to hear something of my own in the players' music. I also take this as my goal when recruiting students. I give them more

It’s a suggestion rather than directly telling them how to play.”

Pavel sat in front of the table and waved his hand behind him, and a list of 20 contestants for the third round of the Chopin International Piano Competition appeared behind him.

During his speech, the 20 contestants were divided into a pyramid shape, with 3 people at the top, 7 people in the middle, and 10 people at the bottom.

When Pavel mentioned Fu Diao, the screen immediately displayed the contents of Fu Diao.

It even comes with Fu Diao’s personal data and six-dimensional diagram, just like a game.

After all, this program is designed for many viewers who do not understand the Chopin International Piano Competition, so in order to cater to these people, they have specially set up many places that are very similar to the game page.

For example, they specially designed it to take shots of the player who came up and the person who left the game, and gave them a sign of confrontation.

Of course, these are all in the middle of the music. After the music starts, the entire shot will be relatively plain, and there will not be many cluttered shots to distract the audience.

No matter how you cater to the audience, what ultimately comes back is the music itself.

After Pavel finished talking about Fu Tiao, Olga also named her favorite player.

Compared to Fu Tiao, she prefers Hamelin because Hamelin himself is a Westerner and the values ​​​​of both parties are relatively close. In addition, her playing style is actually very similar to Hamelin, so she fell in love with Jia Ai.

Both of them unanimously did not choose Zhao Chengzhen. In fact, it was not because they didn't like Zhao Chengzhen, but because they really didn't know what to say to Zhao Chengzhen.

On their side, Zhao actually has a bit of a perfect warrior feel to him. Many things about him are very perfect, except that there are very few of his own things in his music.

He pays more attention to music and the details of music, thinking, understanding and delving into the details of music bit by bit.

The performance is perfect, the sound is perfect, and no mistakes can be found, but there is just no way to like it.
