Chapter 452： Kissin's Thor's Left Hand

And at the moment. Kissin's performance did this very well. The difficulty with Scriabin's etude is that almost all of the melodies are composed of chords, which requires that the hands are basically kept "open" at all times.

And in this state, the slowness of the performance is okay, if the speed is fast, it is easy to cause the wrist stiffness and the strength to be unsmooth.

Because the arms need muscles to move fast while moving, the muscles of the arms, especially the muscles of the upper arm, must be tense at that moment, but the moment the key is touched, it must be relaxed immediately to keep the strength unobstructed.

If there is no high degree of harmony with the piano keys, this is not so easy to do. The reason why the late famous Russian pianist and "Left Hand of Thor" Horowitz played this piece is so commendable.

It is because of his superb left-handed accent, no matter how fast he moves, at the moment he touches the keys, he can always make the piano glow with incomparably transparent and shocking bass!

And this Xuan Kissin's performance undoubtedly perfectly reproduced this kind of shock! That dazzling left hand. It often takes two octaves to jump quickly, and the transparent bass seems to shake the listener's heart at the depth of the key that touches the piano!

Kissin's eyes were flying back and forth between the keys and the piano, and every time a stress was played, his body would vibrate in a big motion.

That action looks like an insider, undoubtedly it is pleasing to the eye, because it is the performance of conveying the strength of the whole body to the fingertips freely!

"Thor left hand! This Kissin can actually play Thor's left hand famous work to such an extent, it is indeed Kissin!" Seeing Kissin's performance, another competitor sighed with emotion.

With this tune alone, he can already predict Kissin's score, passing him is certain, in all fairness, he is convinced! Kissin is better than him in terms of skills and music.

If it is said that Levi’s was overwhelmed by the memory of "Fireworks" and he was still a little unconvinced. The style of everyone that Kissin inadvertently revealed made this arrogant guy deep in his heart. A subdued

"This guy" actually played Scriabin's etude with this feeling! "Levi's previous self-confidence began to lose little by little! Watching Kissin's inadvertent kingly air, listening to the shocking melody emanating from the light of art, Levi's doubted his will to win.

He has the conceit of genius, but he is even more of a great expert in piano. He knows better than anyone who plays well or how good it is.

This Scriabin's Etude for Ascending Suns, although not as difficult as the "Fireworks" he had created in the morning, is much higher than his work in terms of comprehensiveness, especially in terms of artistic connotation.

In particular, the left-hand technique inside, although not comparable to "Fireworks" in terms of degrees, Levi's knows that the fast bass octave chords at that level must be handled carefully by himself.

Seeing Kissing playing smoothly and freely, he didn't mean to force it at all, and Levi's had to be amazed!

"Zheng!" A golden and iron chord ended the less than three-minute etude. When Kissin raised his arms into the air, the audience boiled! All music fans are conquered by that charming transparent bass!

At that moment, no matter how high a person's understanding of the piano is, they can thoroughly appreciate the charm of the voice of this great king of musical instruments!

"Awesome! This piece is really great! This is the sound of the real light of art! Kissin, he is really a great pianist!" A closer look at Merkstein played by Kissin Wei looks excited!

Although he is not a pianist, he is the current head of Steinway, a top international piano brand, and a highly skilled piano maker.

Merkelstein has a better understanding of piano sound than anyone! He may not know how high the level of the performer is, but he knows what the most beautiful sound is!

However, just now, Merkelstein was pleasantly surprised to hear the "light of art, the perfect sound of the bass sound! He could even feel that the responsive hammer head struck the thick steel The fundamental tone on the string.

The resonance produced in the huge resonance box composed of carefully selected red bin wood panels, the sound is so solid, it is the most wonderful bass he heard!

"He should be able to become Steinway's lifelong artist in the future, and he is the first person to be able to let the light of art make this sound." Merkstein was excited.

Looking at the judges, he believed that they would also give a score sufficient for Kissin to win the championship! After all, Kissin's achievements are also there.

Coupled with such a wonderful performance, Merck Steinway can't think of any reason why they would not let the young man Kissin win this championship.

In fact, according to previous estimates, Merkelstein also listed Kissin as the most promising candidate for the championship. Now it seems that his previous expectations are really good.

Kissin's performance did not end, and then he began to play the third piece.

The moment his hands fell, there was no stopping for a moment, a series of heavy dotted rhythms made his body make a huge movement! As soon as the familiar melody sounded, the audience was instantly excited!

"Lasan. This is Lasan". An Russian music fan said almost crazy, watching Kissin's eyes full of fanatical worship!

That’s right, Kissin’s third piece in the competition is the Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 3-rachmaninoffianoconcertono.3indminor, op.30, which is called "the most difficult piano work in the world"!

This piano concerto in D minor was composed in 1908, but it took a whole year for the Russian pianist Rachmaninov to complete the first draft.

Cyril Smith, a professor at the Royal Conservatory of Music, once described the physical exertion of playing a "pull three" equal to "shoveling ten tons of coal."

In November 1909, when Rachmaninov himself made his debut as a piano soloist in New York, he also referred to his concerto as the "elephant work."

To metaphor it is huge and heavy. From all aspects, "La San" is an extension of the composer's masterpiece "La Er" (Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor), but the former is obviously more difficult to perform than the latter!

Of course, as the repertoire of the Masters Cup competition, "La San" is a bit longer. Kissing can't perform the entire concerto completely. What he selected is the most difficult third movement!

The third movement, d minor, sonata style.

The arms are raised and lowered vigorously, and the heavy and powerful chords form a melody with a strong heroism, a powerful rhythm of division, and an incomparably firm belief! ,, ..
