The weather in June is very warm.

Especially in June in Brussels, the warmth reveals a cool, temperate oceanic climate. Although it is a bit humid, it will make people feel very comfortable.

But Miller's heart was very cold.

My mentality is broken...

Walking on the street in a daze, Miller's dream as a performer seemed to be broken.

A tiny drizzle fell on the sky.

Miller was stunned and subconsciously covered her cheeks.

Looking at the bronze statue of Xiao Yulian, who was peeing not far away, Miller felt ashamed of being urinated.

In 1619, it was a war.

When the Spanish occupiers evacuated Brussels, they planned to blow up the city with explosives.

And Xiao Yu Lian, a little boy, went to let the water go in a daze.

He knew nothing about what the Spanish occupiers did.

But the leads were cast out.

......

The nectar from heaven saved the Belgian people at that time.

It was precisely because the little boy went out to pee at night that he extinguished the fuse and saved the whole city. The people of Belgium carved this bronze statue to commemorate the little hero.

As the storms passed, wars were everywhere, plundering, burning cities, and stealing.

But the bronze statue of peeing is unimpeded by wind and rain.

This urine has been four hundred years.

Having the truth is time, luck and fate.

When Miller saw this statue, he felt like the invader who thought he was sure to win, and was filled with a strong sense of humiliation.

Just as the Spanish occupiers never expected, the action of bombing the hometown was actually destroyed by a soaking urine.

Miller never expected that if he lost Li Wenyin, he would lose to his own loser in this primary competition?

Moreover, did you lose if you used small tricks?

Miller didn't know if he was upset or irritable.

It was originally designed very well.

Although Ivan won many times, Ivan is still very strong and he does not have a 100% chance to win.

After that, Miller also had to work hard to find a way to make Li Wenyin lose the game.

So I moved a little, even for exercises.

......

So, in order to be as unobtrusive as possible, Miller hit the piano pedal.

For many people, most of the piano skills are in their hands.

In fact, it is not the case.

The use of pedals is the top priority.

The same song, different styles and colors, and various tones are inseparable from the pedal.

then......

Miller moved a little.

Before the preliminary round, after Ivan finished the zither, Miller used a small piece of wood wrapped in cotton in her inner pocket to the ground along the legs of her suit trousers, and then quietly kicked the small piece under the center pedal.

The wooden block did not push the pedal to death, leaving a large gap.

It is wrapped in fluffy but not soft cotton.

In this case, although you can still step on the pedal, the feel and effect of the foot will be greatly reduced, which will directly affect the playing of the song!

You can still step on it.

But I can only step on a little bit...

If such a problem occurs suddenly, the performer will feel uncomfortable subconsciously.

After Miller's experiment, this feeling did not seem to be stuck, but the pedal itself was tight, or... it felt uncomfortable to step on.

Moreover, there was no sound yet, and I could only think about whether the pedal was not that flexible.

......

As we all know, the three pedals of the piano are clutch, brake, and accelerator from left to right...

......

Weak sound, extended sound, sustain sound.

The function of left and right is very simple. If you step on the left pedal, the tone will be weakened and soft.

The right pedal is the most commonly used, and there are also very important related techniques - "slicing the pedal".

Simply put, it is normal to play the piano. After pressing your fingers, the sound will stop leaving the keys. After pressing this pedal, the sound will still be there.

The pedal in the middle is the hardest to step on.

Simply put, it is to specifically extend a certain sound.

After playing a long note, press the center pedal, then only extend this note, not extend the other notes played after pressing the center pedal.

The more difficult the song is, the more you will be used.

After some long notes appear, other sound components are often needed to establish a sense of body, so the existence of this pedal will not make unnecessary reverb.

It is of great help for works with polyphonic or harmonious texture precision.

And this central pedal is also the most special.

Specially prepared for high-level pianists.

Ordinary household upright pianos do not have this function. The pedal in the middle of the household piano simply eliminates the volume.

Of course, this grand piano for international competitions is definitely customized for pianists.

This pedal is very critical.

It will make the performer's performance more spiritual.

.........

Miller's small moves were perfect.

If Ivan stepped on the central pedal appropriately, the chance of exposure was very small.

But Miller never expected it.

Ivan didn't step on the center pedal at all!!!

......

Moreover, the difficulty coefficient of the song played by Ivan is extremely high!

If there is no central pedal, there are two or three bars, and the right hand needs to double its speed and be responsible for the two voice parts!!

But Miller never expected that the warriors of the combat nation were so tough.

Ivan didn't step on the center pedal at all!!

Is this TM completely dependent on hand speed?

From beginning to end, Ivan did not notice any strangeness in the center pedal...

But this is not a big problem.

.........

Even if Ivan performed well, Miller could still play.

You may not lose.

But the qi is doing small movements by himself.

At that time, Ivan's weird way of handling things directly scared Miller.

I can't believe it at all.

He went up to the game in a daze and played, and Miller directly forgot about the small movements he made.

......

So, he was shot.

After missing an extended tone, Miller was irritated.
