Chapter 42: The Surprising Invitation to the Competition

After returning from England, Zhuo Yang received an invitation to participate that surprised him. He opened this solemn, elegant and simple invitation letter and was a little confused for a while.
In the match against Everton at Goodison Park, AC Milan finally won 3:1 away from home and advanced to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup with a total score of 4:2. The third goal was scored by Kaká in front of the goal in the 86th minute.
The goal was scored from the spot. This was also the fourth goal scored by Mr. Yu in this UEFA Cup.
In fact, before Kaká scored this goal, the game had completely lost its suspense, because not only did Everton fall behind in away goals and scores, but there were only 9 people left on the field to fight, and they were not missed by the Zhuoyangs.
, it is already a lucky star.
In the 79th minute, Everton captain Philip Neville, in order to prevent Zhuoyang's death rush, put a shovel from the side and lifted Zhuoyang up to a person's height. He fell to the ground and hugged his legs, shaking all over. There had been one incident before.
Phil, who was given a yellow card, was sent off with a direct red card. Before leaving the field, he came over and patted Zhuo Yang who was curled up on the ground apologetically. As soon as he walked into the stadium tunnel, Phil collapsed on the ground and panted like a dog. He was too tired.
!
Zhuo Yang was carried to the off-field for emergency treatment. Jiuye Inzaghi, who had ice cubes wrapped around his ankles, also gathered around to see the situation with concern. Unexpectedly, Zhuo Yang twitched his eyebrows and said to him from behind: "Jiuye,
How is my wrestling? How would you rate it? What level does it belong to?"
Master Jiu: "..."
Ten seconds later, Zhuo Yang was jumping lively from the sidelines and waving to the referee to enter. Goodison Park was filled with boos.
After the game, all the media recognized that the turning point of the game was Maldini's magical kick in the wind. The roc rose with the wind in one day and soared to 90,000 miles. The classic veteran has his own aura of emotion, and the Cavaliers were named the best in the game.
Howard, the American goalkeeper who has become Maldini's fairy, was given some good advice by the media.
Later, the media joked that Howard changed football twice. The first time was in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League in the 2003-04 season. In the full stoppage time of Manchester United's home game against Porto, Howard saved McCarthy's free kick, causing Costini to miss.
Ya's follow-up shot was successful. Porto relied on this goal to advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League with an away goal advantage. The ecstatic Mourinho ran wild at Old Trafford. People said that Howard released Mourinho for world football.
Neo.
The second time was this game. The media said that his mistake caused Maldini to postpone his decision to retire, which led to the splendid final intoxicating glory of Serie A. Of course, the media only looks at the most gimmicky appearance of the problem.
.
.
Because three days later was the highlight of the league away to Rome, Zhuoyang planned to return to Milan with the team, but after the game, he received a phone call from his tutor, Professor Carl Norman, ordering him to come to the Hannover Conservatory of Music immediately. Nothing happened, Zhuoyang quickly gave the ball
The team asked for leave and flew directly from Liverpool to Hannover.
Last April, because he wanted to go shopping with Xiaozhu, Zhuo Yang skipped Professor Norman's class. As a result, he was scolded by the old literary youth for a whole month, and even his junior sister Angelica Giannini, who helped him deliver messages, was embarrassed.
.After that, Zhuoyang never dared to skip classes casually again. Whenever Professor Norman called him, he would run faster than a dog.
Perhaps because of his increasingly prominent status in the classical music world, Professor Carl Norman's temper has become increasingly fierce in the past two years. Except for the old Tarzan Shi Ali Vardi, not only one or two professors at the Hannover University of Music have been criticized by him.
Zhuo Yang thought it was menopause due to old age. However, Zhuo Yang knew who was really good for him.
Arriving at Professor Norman's office, what was handed to Zhuo Yang was this invitation letter - the Polish Music Association invited Zhuo Yang to participate in the 'Chopin International Piano Competition' held at the Warsaw Philharmonic Concert Hall at the end of October this year.
This thing is very strange and weird. It is very inconsistent with common sense and does not comply with the rules of the industry.
Zhuo Yang won the gold medal at the 14th Schumann Piano Competition in 2003, which was also the starting point of his status in the classical music world. The Schumann Competition and the Chopin Competition are both among the top ten international piano competitions, but the gap in status between the two competitions is still quite large.
. If we compare it with football, the Schumann Competition is like Tottenham in the Premier League, and the Chopin Competition is like Manchester United.
Among the top ten, Schumann used to be ranked eighth in the world, but has gradually climbed to the top five in recent years. This is naturally due to Zhuo Yang's rise to fame. But these cannot be the reasons for Zhuo Yang to participate in the Chopin Competition.
Although there is no explicit regulation, in the unspoken rules of the industry, if a player participates in one competition, he cannot participate in other competitions. Otherwise, a horizontal comparison will be formed, which will be detrimental to the event and the players. If there are no restrictions on this, ten
The Grand Piano Competition will eventually become a place where people compete with each other and slander each other.
If a film is selected for the Cannes Film Festival, it cannot be selected for the Oscars. If it is ranked in Super Girl, it should not be selected for The Voice of China. The reasons are exactly the same.
Therefore, it is very unreasonable to take the initiative to send an invitation letter to this Chopin Competition, and there is no such thing as "invitation to participate" in the history of the Chopin Competition.
The Chopin International Piano Competition was born in 1927 after World War I. At that time, the Polish classical music community created the competition in order to counter the international contempt for Chopin. At that time, the classical music community generally believed that Chopin's music was full of "exuberant music", which was not true.
Right path.
When people finally realized the greatness of Chopin, the Chopin Competition also became the number one piano competition. It is the World Cup and Oscar in the piano world. Except for the interruption due to the war of World War II, the Chopin International Piano Competition is held every five years.
The general meeting was held as scheduled.
Moreover, there is another awesome thing about the Chopin Competition that is different from the other nine major competitions: if there is no first place that can convince the crowd, the gold medal of the competition will be vacant. It is better to lack than to waste. The 13th and 14th editions in 1990 and 1995
There have been consecutive championship vacancies.
This year is not the year to hold the Chopin Piano Competition. The 16th was held in 2005 and the 17th will be held in 2010. The last one in 2008 is very unusual. Because this is a special competition, specially designed to commemorate Chopin’s "Poland"
Dance Music".
"Polonaise" is Chopin's most representative piano work. Its three pieces, "Military Polonaise", "Heroic Polonaise" and "Fantasy Polonaise", are all among the top ten classic piano pieces. The Polish Music Association had long thought that
They wanted to do something for these three magnificent movements that will last forever, so this year coincides with the 70th anniversary of the creation of these three pieces. They simply held a special competition at the end of October, Chopin's birthday, which was unprecedented.
As a result, the importance of this 'special' competition is very important, surpassing the regular competitions every five years. The industry calls this year's competition the 'Chopin International Piano Golden Competition', attracting much attention in the classical music world.
