When Lin Tian returned to the resting room.
In the blink of an eye.
A group of pianists ca up to greet him.
"(Teacher Lin Tian, this ’Croatian Rhapsody’ is fantastic! How did you compose it?)"
"(Can you explain in detail how you used the octave scales and rapid arpeggios in the last section?)"
"(What kind of harmony did you use in the developnt section? How could you conceive it so ingeniously!)"
"(Does the music describe a war? Which war in Croatia??)"
"(Can you tell the story of this piece?)"
Several younger-looking pianists crowded in front of Lin Tian.
They surrounded him, vying with each other, voicing their own queries.
"..."
Those who were a bit more reserved due to their age and professional status, although not stepping forward, were all ears.
The gazes of the few in front exuded a pure, undeniable desire for musical knowledge.
They were not interested in anything else, just purely from the perspective of soone who loves music....
If it had been before, Lin Tian might have just brushed them off.
But this ti, Lin Tian did not shy away.
Instead, he found a place to sit down in the resting room, facing the young listeners, and slowly began,
"This ’Croatian Rhapsody’ is....."
"....."
Although he didn’t write the piece, thanks to an extensive music library and musician data in his mind, and his now decent musical understanding,
Guessing and mixing in so of his own interpretations, explaining the general creative process of the piece wasn’t difficult.
And for the more vague, less detailed parts...
Lin Tian didn’t ntion them, but the others could understand.
After all, how could a master reveal his most guarded secrets?
Next, Lin Tian concocted a story based on Croatia’s historical wars.
Sharing with everyone the original emotions of the piece.
In the resting room, everyone stood by Lin Tian, listening intently to his serious narration.
"..."
"(I see....)"
"(I knew it, this piece is so touching, there must be a sad story behind it.....)"
"(Amazing, amazing, Teacher Lin Tian, I will also study this piece when I go back!)"
"(Such an excellent composition! I have a feeling that the world has gained another piano piece that will be cherished for centuries!)"
Looking at the possibly finest representatives of young pianists in the world, who gave such high praise to this piece.
Lin Tian also felt fulfilled.
Afterward,
Perhaps, the creative process Lin Tian concocted through guessing,
Would help them in their future compositions.
Perhaps these pianists would also join in performing this piece,
Creating multiple different versions, passing it on in this world.
This might also provide so solace for Maxim, who composed this piece after experiencing war.
...Really.
Lin Tian felt that being such an "Amway Ambassador" was quite nice.
Especially under the influence of Yanyu.
Lin Tian felt that doing such things was very aningful.
...
Lin Tian walked out of the venue.
At the entrance, Lin Tian saw Yanyu, who had been waiting there.
"Ah!"
Yanyu turned her face, lifted her index finger, and pointed at Lin Tian,
"Our genius pianist, Mr. Lin, is back."
"Don’t tease ."
Lin Tian pressed down Yanyu’s hand, smiling as he spoke.
"It’s not a tease."
Yanyu pretended to be angry, speaking seriously,
"From today, you are truly a professional pianist, recognized by everyone!"
"I hope it’s not in a derogatory way."
Lin Tian waved his hand, nonchalantly speaking.
He hasn’t even turned on his phone yet.
He doesn’t know how the foreign dia online are evaluating him right now.
Originally in this Xiao Bang International Piano Competition, he was just a nobody from Tian Chao, the type to gain a little exposure and then leave.
It was these dia and netizens who hyped him up to an exaggerated extent.
As a result, Lin Tian, whose playing level wasn’t exactly top-tier, suddenly found himself under intense scrutiny from many people.
However,
how they evaluate him now doesn’t matter anymore.
Lin Tian has decided not to turn on his phone for the whole day today.
"How does it feel to compete on stage for the first ti?"
Gan Yanyu shook her little hands, looking even more excited than Lin Tian.
It was the sa when she was sitting in the audience today.
Watching Lin Tian perform solo on stage, Gan Yanyu felt a sense of achievent as if her little protégé finally stood on his own.
A sense of accomplishnt!
Previously, he had always been accompanying her.
Gan Yanyu really enjoyed this feeling as if she could hold Lin Tian in the palm of her hand.
Since it was his first ti.
New experiences, new insights.
Perhaps he has gained an understanding of performing and music that he never had before!
Gan Yanyu felt that she suddenly had a lot more topics to discuss with Lin Tian in this area!
"How should I put it..."
Lin Tian stroked his chin, deep in thought.
"Hurry up."
Gan Yanyu whispered, urging him on as she stuck out her fingers, listing them one by one for Lin Tian.
"There must be a lot, right? Like, being nervous yet excited about performing alone... Like feeling great about controlling the music... And also being satisfied with seeing the audience’s reactions..."
"If I had to say, the biggest feeling was that I wanted to perform a duet with Gan even more."
Lin Tian said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Gan Yanyu’s pupils widened suddenly.
She quickly turned her face away,
"I’m being serious with you..."
"I am serious too,"
Lin Tian said.
Actually,
the feeling of conveying his beloved music to the audience undoubtedly ant a lot to Lin Tian.
Enjoying the music and the stage gave Lin Tian imnse satisfaction and joy.
But all of this,
couldn’t compare to the feeling of pursuing their dreams "together" with Gan Yanyu.
...
Lin Tian himself couldn’t figure out whether he loved music more or Gan Yanyu more.
Or,
whether he loved making music with Gan Yanyu.
Who knows?
"..."
Anyway, just end the competition soon.
He had earned enough popularity, and ending here seed just fine.
The Spring Festival was approaching, and Lin Tian already wanted to go ho for the New Year with Gan Yanyu.
...
...
In the evening, after the second stage of the competition, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu returned to Tokyo International Music Hall.
The results of the competition were announced on the sa day it ended.
Standing on stage.
The host announced the nas of the eight contestants advancing to the finals in front of the entire audience and the dia.
"They are:"
"Bud Lloyd, Camilo Williams, Evgeny Ivanovich Romanov."
"Alves Burke."
"Nishikawa Yuubei."
"Du Bianwu."
"Yao Han...and Lin Tian!"
