Chapter 139 Winners List

Although Li Diyun can be regarded as the strongest and most famous performer in China besides Lang Liangyue, as far as the Chopin International Piano Competition Organizing Committee is concerned, Li Diyun can still only be regarded as a performer.

Junior.

It’s not that you look down on Li Diyun or anything, the main thing is that if you say that Li Diyun is a big shot in the Chopin International Piano Competition Organizing Committee, I’m afraid passers-by won’t feel anything about it, but his fans will come over to you first and tell you tens of millions.

Stop flattering and killing him.

In addition to top pianists like Argerich and Deng Taishan in the traditional sense, there are also a lot of national treasure-level pianists from various countries on the judging panel.

Everyone is the kind of person who has been playing on the world stage for nearly 50 years. If you say that Li Diyun is better than these people, besides thinking that you are flattering, how else can you think that you have good intentions?

Of course! Some of these people may indeed be declining in terms of skill and strength. After all, they are older and many of them are no longer capable of playing. However, their sensitivity to music is still there, and their thinking about music is still the same.

Existence, these are constantly improving with time.

So if you say that they are not as good as Li Diyun technically, but that they are not as good as Li Diyun musically, then it is a bit of a fantasy.

Li Diyun also knew this, so he didn't just rush into the topic like those judges, regardless of the situation, and scold the other judges to get a result.

But after listening to everyone's conversations and careful consideration, a specific policy was decided.

Of course, this policy is definitely a little biased in favor of Fu Diao, and is not completely neutral.

He raised his hand, and everyone who was a little noisy couldn't help but look at him. The professor sitting at the front who was responsible for the final decision-making of the game frowned slightly and said casually.

"Li, this is normal communication. You don't need to raise your hand to signal. We don't have this rule."

"Feel sorry."

Li Diyun smiled slightly awkwardly at everyone, and then said: "So... can you listen to my opinion?"

"Okay, you can just say it."

After receiving confirmation from the professor, Li Diyun nodded slightly, stood up and spoke to everyone.

"If possible, we can recalculate a weight to calculate each player's performance on the work."

No one spoke, but looked at Li Diyun, waiting for his next calculation method.

Li Diyun continued: "Our current calculation method is that there is almost no difference in the weight level of each work. After all, in our inherent impression, every Chopin work should be of the same level of importance, and no one should artificially

Distinguish the gaps between these works.

But when facing the finals, although we can directly use the total score to calculate the corresponding score, we always feel that such a score is difficult to truly convince the public, so... we can completely redefine these works.

For example... we will give higher scores to more important works, such as Chopin's Polonaise, which are unique among all Chopin's works, while those ordinary works, or those that are not original to Chopin, will be given higher scores.

We give relatively low weight to the works of Chopin, for example, what do you think of this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately refused.

"No! Although Chopin's preludes are imitated by Bach, all of Chopin's preludes still have very high artistic value. I completely disagree with lowering the weight of the preludes!"

"What about lowering other works? For example, ballads?" Li Diyun suggested again.

But he was still rejected by everyone.

"No, the ballade is Chopin's original work. It is difficult for subsequent ballades to reach the height of Chopin. It is impossible for you to reduce the weight of Chopin's ballade!"

"Then you can discuss the weight of each work among yourselves."

Li Diyun seems to be a little embarrassed and doesn't want to continue discussing these things.

Everyone's eyes flickered and they fell into deep thought.

As Li Diyun said, not all Chopin's works are very important to them.

Take Chopin's etudes, for example. Although many people play Chopin's etudes as music, in fact, Chopin's etudes are still etudes after all. Although they have high technical value and are listened to by many people, many people

We all like these works, but you have absolutely no way to say that these works are more valuable and more thoughtful about art than Chopin's Ballades.

In the same way, nocturnes may be beautiful and pleasant to listen to, but to be honest, what is the artistic content of these works? Have they really reached the artistic limit that Chopin could achieve?

Everyone knows very well that if the weight of these works is determined based on artistic level, a series of problems may arise, but Li Diyun's proposal on artistic level is indeed a way to solve the current problems.

So the question is, which works have a high artistic level and which works have a low artistic level?

Everyone thought for a while and temporarily excluded the works in the first round, because the works in the first round were basically some common works, such as etudes, barcarolles, nocturnes, and so on.

It’s not that these works are not good, it’s just that compared to Chopin’s ballades, Chopin’s sonatas, and Chopin’s polonaises, I always feel that they are still a little bit behind.

Since there will be no discussion in the first round, the most important thing to discuss is the works in the second and third rounds.

This is what Li Diyun hopes for.

Although Fu Tiao currently has the highest total score among all players, after all, Fu Tiao's performance in the first round was not particularly good.

Even if you say that his playing feels pretty good, the feeling is still a little bit worse than the second and third rounds, and his music has not been completely released.

Therefore, the rhythm set by Li Diyun directly caused Fu Tiao to ignore the round with the worst performance for the time being, and focus directly on the second and third rounds where everyone performed best.

Although Zhao Chengzhen performed better in the second round, similarly, his results in the third round were not ideal, which means that Zhao Chengzhen's results will not be as noticeable as before.

When many people discuss Zhao Chengzhen, they refute Fu Tiao's first place position by saying that Zhao Chengzhen ranked first for two consecutive rounds, that is, he did not take first place in the third and fourth rounds.

So now, Zhao Chengzhen only has one first place left, while Fu Tiao has two first places. Now Fu Tiao has a higher advantage over many people.

This little thought did not hide it from everyone's eyes. After they took a meaningful look at Li Diyun, they did not reject Li Diyun's proposal. Instead, they thought deeply again and planned a more specific score assessment.

After all, using Li Diyun's method can indeed reduce many people's entanglements.

At the same time, Li Diyun did not stop just like that, he continued to speak to everyone.

"In order to make the competition fairer, we also saw that many contestants played the works of the second round in the third round and the works of the third round in the second round. Their repertoire plans were somewhat repetitive, so we can

We previously compared the works of Fu, Zhao, and Hamelin, especially Fu and Zhao. After all, many of the works they performed were actually the same, so..."

Li Diyun shook his shoulders and didn't say much.

A judge on the side looked at Li Diyun, thought for a while, sighed and said: "Compared with your previous proposal for artistic evaluation, I like your single comparison proposal better."

"Indeed, let's look at the individual events first. Let's see who is the best among the individual works. We can then judge this year's best work."

"Well, I personally recommend evaluating their Chopin Mazurka first. The best Chopin Mazurka I recommend is Kate Liu. Her performance is my favorite."

"Kate Liu is really good. I still remember the mazurka she played in the third round."

"Does anyone else have any comments?"

"I like Diofo more. I give Diofu a vote because his performance in mazurka perfectly matches my impression of mazurka."

"I recommend Hamelin, I like his feeling better."

"No one likes Zhao? In fact, Zhao is not bad."

"Zhao's performance is still lacking a little bit, and in addition, his performance is far inferior to Fu's. I have no way to support Zhao's performance as the best this year."

"Kate Liu and Dior Fu, these two choose one, everyone votes!"

After everyone quickly raised their hands to express their love for the contestants, the organizing committee's selection results appeared and they nodded slightly.

"Best Mazurka, Kate Liu, no problem, next, best polonaise, and then Mr. Zimmerman, please wait and announce your favorite piano sonata, thank you."

"good."

A low voice came from the crowd, and Li Diyun immediately looked over. A handsome old man who looked like a European handsome man was sitting there relaxedly, with his straight and slender legs crossed, and his hands on his knees.

, watching them quarrel with a smile.

He seemed to have caught Li Diyun's gaze, and immediately turned his head slightly to meet Li Diyun's gaze, then smiled and nodded.

Li Diyun was a little surprised for a moment. He didn't notice that Zimmerman was sitting there and didn't speak.

But this is actually normal. After all, it is already the finals, and the award for the best sonata is decided by Zimmerman, so he came to the scene without much problem.

Seeing the quarrel among the people on the long table, Zimmerman seemed to be used to it. He picked up the signature pen beside him, raised his head and thought for a moment, then handed the business card to the person in charge without any hesitation.

"This year's Zimmermann winner for best piano sonata is... Hamelin?"

The tone of the person in charge was a bit shocked, and so were the others. They didn't expect that this year's best sonata would be Hamelin. According to their ideas, they thought it should be Fu Diao. After all, Fu Diao's performance was really beautiful.

Especially the thought of death really shocked them.

Zimmerman looked at everyone, nodded lightly without any hesitation, and said with a smile: "My favorite interpretation is Hamelin. The tenderness contained in his performance is something I haven't heard from five or six times."

There is no way to escape. I like that sonata of his very much."

"If that's the case, then I'll register."

The person in charge sighed, then looked at Li Diyun and said loudly.

"Li! You haven't said your decision about the best Chopin dance. Who do you think plays the best Chopin polonaise?"

"Is it the best polonaise? I think..." Li Diyun was woken up by the voice of the person in charge. Looking at the expressions of everyone around him looking at him, he was a little confused for a moment. He didn't know why everyone was looking at him.

However, thinking of the question the person in charge had just given him, Li Diyun hesitated for a moment, feeling that he still couldn't call Fu Tiao's name directly.

If we directly say that Fu Diao plays the best, will the staff think there is something wrong with him? That he favors people from his own country?

Li Diyun looked at himself and saw that there were many people behind him who had not said anything. He should have no problem saying anything. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Zhao, Zhao and Fu are similar, but if I choose, I will choose Zhao."

"Okay, Zhao's voting approval rate is 43%, Fu is 40%, and Hamelin is 17%. In this case, there is no need to re-vote. The best Bola this year is Zhao."
