The audience here, whether they understand music or not, have mostly studied piano at some point.
Because of their studies, they have some concept of the general level of difficulty of a piece.
If the previous piece "Flight of the Bumblebee" was simply fast, then this one is somewhat outrageous!
Rapid octave changes;
Staccato with huge interval leaps;
The most outrageous part is Lin Yuan’s rapid single-hand leap over four octaves—
Like the sound of bells!
The technique of variation fully showcased Lin Yuan’s exquisite performance skills and the effect of the bells.
Lin Yuan closed his eyes, not even glancing at the keys, yet his performance flowed like water.
The passage repeatedly varied, like variations, yet also like a rondo.
If anyone were to see Lin Yuan’s technique at this moment, they’d surely be dazzled!
He naturally has no one around him.
Everyone is in the audience, sharing the same shock and enjoyment.
Different textures and techniques vary across different tonal regions.
Yang Zhongming also closed his eyes, his fingers unconsciously moving.
He opened his eyes again and spoke softly.
Zheng Jing was somewhat surprised: "Aren’t these violin techniques?"
Abigail looked deeply at Lin Yuan on stage: "Exactly, Xian Yu is mimicking violin with the piano, making unprecedented attempts in a refreshing way on the piano, like tremolo on a single note, long chromatic runs, single-hand melody vibrato, continuous octave runs, and large left-hand octave leaps, splendid."
That certainly is splendid.
Yang Zhongming glanced at Gai.
"Should I praise the excellence of this piece or his astonishing technique?"
Lu Sheng had a face full of wry smiles.
Xian Yu truly is a daunting genius.
This performance has already surpassed the limits of an average pianist.
Moreover, the piece itself possesses immense artistic value.
This is an encore performance?
Do encores look at your house?
What should be an entertainment segment, this lad plays so intensively!
Ye Zhi Qiu’s expression was strange:
"From an examination perspective, it undoubtedly exceeds grade 10, large jumps, decomposed intervals over ten degrees, various octaves, chromatic scales, tremolos, runs, all very difficult, and the piece isn’t short, requiring considerable endurance to complete."
"What kind of devil are you? Don’t torment amateur enthusiasts with such pieces; let the professional pianists worry about them instead."
Generally speaking, one encore is enough.
Lin Yuan has already performed two pieces continuously, and yet the applause seems even more enthusiastic than before!
The audience’s faces even showed madness!
"Was the previous piece called ’Clock’?"
"I indeed heard the sound of bells!"
"This is an encore performance!?"
"Completely not inferior to the quality of the formal performance!"
"These pieces alone are enough to hold another concert!"
"Everyone, clap for me!"
"Today’s encore should drain him dry!"
Of course, there’s no such thing as being drained dry; as the saying goes, things don’t go beyond three.
Three encore performances are enough; any more would tire Lin Yuan.
Amidst applause like ocean waves, Lin Yuan still made a prior agreement: "Next will be the last piece, we’ll switch to another instrument to have fun."
He said as he picked up a classical guitar.
Xian Yu is known to play various instruments, everyone knows this.
He has representative works for many instruments.
For example, the piano with "Moonlight Sonata," "To Alice," "Mariage d’Amour," and so on.
For the violin, there’s "Zigeunerweisen" and today’s "Butterfly Lovers."
For the saxophone, there wasn’t one before, now there is, which is today’s "Going Home."
For the zither, there is the masterpiece "Ambush from Ten Sides."
And for the erhu, he composed "Horse Racing" and "Reflections of the Moon on Erquan," among others.
Yet among all these instruments, the guitar is missing.
Clearly, the guitar is also a popular instrument, used in almost every pop song.
Lin Yuan plans to fill in the representative work for the guitar.
"This piece is called ’Romance de Amor,’ I hope everyone will like it."
The performance began.
This piece is widely known on Earth, a staple for all renowned guitarists.
An immortal work within guitar repertoire!
Almost all guitar students learn this piece inevitably!
Lin Yuan’s fingers moved.
This is a typical ternary form, moderate tempo, 3/4 time.
It begins with a main chord, with a descending scale-like melody proceeding slowly.
An octave rise in the constituent notes of the main chord.
The first climax arrives!
Between melodies, Lin Yuan’s fingers move back and forth in descending scales, as if exploring something.
At the end of the piece.
Like a lake stirred by a gentle breeze, rippling gently, moving towards the distance.
The beautiful, simplistic melody and the clear arpeggios fully integrate, filled with the tenderness of entering water—
The piece ends in such a tranquil atmosphere.
Unlike before, the applause wasn’t as intense this time.
However, this absolutely does not mean the audience did not like it.
