Five hundred and twenty-seven days when I was a judge at the Montreal International Violin Competition.~)(1/2)
As soon as Saramon finished speaking, the people on the organizing committee became quiet.
"This competition must be fair and objectively judged every contestant, and carefully scored in multiple directions in terms of skills, expression and processing. After the semi-finals, you still need to hold a meeting to discuss the performance of each student and finally determine the score ranking!"
Saramon said before, and the other members of the organizing committee recorded below.
Li Wenyin is very serious. After all, it is necessary to be a judge for the first time.
"For players who are innovative or unique, our way of distinguishing them needs to be more objective!"
Saramon smiled.
"We, a group of old antiques, cannot be examined with old-fashioned thinking, and must also accept innovations in the new era. But we must also remember to judge based on tradition and analyze them in a comprehensive and fundamental way, so as not to let sensationalists take advantage of loopholes!"
The judges looked at each other and nodded.
In the past two years, with the progress of the times, many top and serious classical music competitions have begun to be less focused on inherent styles and techniques. Although they cannot be said to be compatible, their acceptance of various new things has been increasing.
But having a personality and new meaning does not mean changing it.
In front of such a group of professional judges, it is impossible to hide it as if it were a sensational existence in a talent show.
In the past two years, many young people have begun to attack art under the banner of "innovation" and "personality".
In order to become famous and sensational, in the end, he regards himself as his personality and equates respect for tradition with conservative and uninnovative.
No matter which industry it is, there will always be something that the new era should have, and classical music is no exception. Therefore, in so many "personality" and "innovation", how to judge it will test the judge's eyesight.
At least, you have to do a good job of foundation first and then consider innovation and personality.
"First of all, it is whether the performer can play the whole piece smoothly and proficiently. Therefore, the contestants' first scoring indicator is to rate according to fluency and performance, and divide it into several levels!"
Saramon said slowly, and the other members of the organizing committee remembered it seriously.
"Not smooth and flawless performance, not smooth but without errors, smooth but flawless performance, smooth and flawless performance, perfect performance, such five rating intervals, the score interval calculation corresponds to 20, 40, 60, 80, 100!"
"The final score is counted by the judges' scores, and the average score is taken as the benchmark score for the score evaluation!"
Li Wenyin frowned for a moment, but nodded and stretched out.
At first I seemed to think something was wrong.
Why does a performance that is not smooth but without errors have a lower score than a smooth and flawed performance?
Actually very simple.
Those who can perform smoothly must have practiced countless times, and those who are already familiar with each other cannot be familiar with each other anymore.
Skills are definitely better than not smooth!
There is also a possibility that something goes wrong,
In instrumental performance, what is more important is to express music. If you can’t even do fluency, let alone express it!
However, this is not smooth but error-free and it is actually quite difficult to do it.
There is no wrong sound, wrong bow, or noise.
But it's not smooth, almost few of them.
And it can be said that those who have the courage to participate in this competition will not be unsmooth.
The dissolution here may refer to the slight panic and stuck due to nervousness, which leads to the fact that although the skill is not made, the hearing and expression are much worse.
"In the difficulty of selecting songs, the difficulty levels are divided into several levels according to the classification."
Saramon continued to say to several judges.
"From the first level, they are simple, advanced, difficult, extremely difficult, and not included in the difficulty statistics! Such five levels!"
"On the basis of the contestants' skillful performance, from bottom to top, the difficulty scores are recorded in order according to the score intervals of 40, 60, 80, 100, 120%! The average score of the coefficient scores obtained by the judges is also calculated!"
"The difficulty coefficient and the performance completion coefficient are multiplication relationships. The performance completion score is multiplied by the difficulty coefficient of the repertoire to obtain a final score as the basis for the next round of judgment!!"
Li Wenyin nodded in a clear way.
Such multiplication will also make the overall strength scores of the players more obvious!
Multiply the percentages in sequence according to the primary and secondary order, and it is very clear at a glance.
For example, both sides got 100 points in the first round of expression, while one player's song selection is difficult and one is extremely difficult. After the second round of multiplication, it becomes one 80 points and one 100 points.
In this way, the comparison of the strength gap is clear at a glance!
Even if you can get one hundred points safely in the first condition, and the judgment of the second condition will separate the gap in strength data!
"The basis for the third round of judgment needs to be discussed by everyone here!"
Saramon smiled.
"That is musicality, artistic expression, emotional rendering, picture construction, texture level, and philosophical expression, etc."
"Because these things are not easy to quantify, we will discuss and determine the person's understanding and expression of the music, so as to determine the third wave scoring coefficient. The scoring coefficient of this wave will be carried out according to the addition method!"
Add it!
Li Wenyin couldn't help but nodded.
This is the fairest.
Compared with multiplication, the added value will have a much smaller impact on the final score.
"The scores are based on.........the emotional expression is unclear, no philosophical expression or picture hierarchy, and have less musicality and artisticity!"
"Emotional expression is normal, philosophical expression and picture are slightly different, with musicality and less artistic."
"Emotional expression is good, philosophical expression and picture are at normal levels, and have high musicality and artisticity."
"Excellent emotional expression, strong philosophical expression and picture, and highly musical and artistic."
"Perfect emotional expression, deep philosophical thoughts, strong sense of picture and hierarchy, extremely musical and artistic, with its own personal style or perfect expression of the deep connotation of the composer."
"The above five levels are added with 2 points! 4 points! 6 points! 8 points! 10 points! These ranges vary."
"Finally judge according to the final result!"
Looking around the organizing committee, Saramon asked.
"Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
"Understood!"
The judges answered in unison.
These judges have participated in the Montreal Violin Competition more than once.
In fact, these words are simply for Li Wenyin to listen to.
Li Wenyin became very serious when she was a judge at an international professional event for the first time.
"I hope you will judge carefully!"
Saramon took out another stack of documents and said to everyone.
"I'll talk about the process of the competition first!"
"Everyone is judging the international group events. After the contestants from various regions gather together, the preliminary review of the overall competition will be held. During the preliminary review, each group will have three judges and are divided into four groups!"
Speaking of this, Saramon looked at Li Wenyin.
"Given that this is the first time Mr. Li came to our competition to conduct the judges, my team is designated as Mr. Li Wenyin and Mr. Ma Nong. Do you have any objections?"
"No!"
"Puff...no!"
"Thank you...no!"
Li Wenyin almost laughed out loud, while Ma Nong almost cursed.
......
The slightly strange expressions of the two did not make people doubt anything.
On the contrary, Saramon was even more satisfied.
I am such a clever little ghost, very eye-catching.
EQ is showing off at this moment.
Let Ma Nong and his good friend Li Wenyin take care of each other, and in order not to gossip, he can also control and take care of himself and two people at work.
It's simply perfect!
This wave I am simply a good impression of both ends, and I am simply a guide genius!!
"Then please trouble Mr. Saramon!"
Li Wenyin said with a smile in her arms.
"This is taking care of me too much..."
"Hahaha! No trouble, no trouble!!"
