As for the discussions around her, Gan Yanyu seed completely unaware, rushing eagerly to an empty chair as soon as she entered the spectator room.
She sat down, lifted her head, and waved at Lin Tian.
After Lin Tian sat next to Gan Yanyu, she imdiately clasped her small hands, straightened her back, adopted a proper sitting posture, and looked at the big screen.
On the screen,
the Golden Hall they had seen countless tis on videotapes.
Now, it appeared so clearly before their eyes.
"...·
The one currently performing on stage was a black contestant.
He was playing a simple chamber tune.
The piece wasn’t very difficult, its simple lody was beautifully flowing like water in the Golden Hall, particularly pleasant to hear, captivating the audience completely.
...
Even though it’s just a preliminary round, is the performance quality surprisingly high?
After listening for a short while, Lin Tian imdiately sensed the gap.
Indeed, no one who makes it to the Keller Cup is ordinary.
Next, several more contestants took the stage.
Listening to the performances one after another,
smooth and flawless playing of the scores was just fundantal.
The most striking impression was——
characteristics.
Almost every musician, while playing without mistakes, could inject their own unique musical understanding into their music.
For example, the black perforr earlier.
His chamber music carried the lightheartedness and spontaneity of Black rap talent, giving a sense of freedom and unrestrained improvisation.
"Wow....."
Gan Yanyu, holding onto the chair, kept kicking her fair legs, becoming absorbed,
"Every contestant is amazing."
"But they fall short of the top tier,"
Lin Tian added.
"How do you tell?"
Gan Yanyu turned her head, her bright eyes staring at Lin Tian.
It wasn’t that Gan Yanyu didn’t understand where these perforrs might falter.
It was more like she didn’t grasp Lin Tian’s standard for "top tier" level.
In Gan Yanyu’s view, this was already quite a remarkable performance!
If it were her first ti on the Golden Hall stage, she might not be able to do as well.
"You can hear it too, only you haven’t adjusted your perspective."
Lin Tian said.
Objectively speaking.
Although the perforrs’ overall level was very high, such an exclamation was within reason.
But, Gan Yanyu, you also need to adjust your perspective.
Standing from the perspective of being in Vienna for the first ti, as a new audience, so applause is understandable.
But Lin Tian felt that Gan Yanyu could completely adopt the perspective of a strong player, use a superior view, and make more objective and beneficial analysis.
This was Lin Tian’s main purpose for bringing Gan Yanyu to the preliminary round today.
"Listen carefully."
Lin Tian reached out with his hands, covered the sides of Gan Yanyu’s temples, and whispered softly in the girl’s ear,
"If it were you on stage, do you think such a performance would satisfy you?"
At that mont, a Latinx girl, resembling Miao, the protagonist from Double Shadow Wonderland, was performing.
Her playing was bold and heroic, giving a trendous emotional impact.
Even in the spectator area, so cellists couldn’t help but cheer.
Compared to the earlier contestants, she was notably outstanding.
However,
after Lin Tian covered her head, Gan Yanyu tried to calm down and listened carefully.
"In the second section... the left-hand vibrato was too tense, not natural enough."
"The focus was strong, but it had emotions without further embodint in playing....."
"If it were , I would handle the second section even better...."
Gan Yanyu said seriously, then turned to look at Lin Tian like a child handing in her howork.
"Well said."
Lin Tian smiled,
"Looks like our Little Gan can indeed give serious critiques."
"I’ve been improving, you know....."
Gan Yanyu puffed up her small mouth, slightly dissatisfied with Lin Tian’s kind of praise.
In Lin Tian’s eyes,
Gan Yanyu’s performance had always been unique in the cello world.
As if once on the stage, she closed her eyes and started "experiential playing."
While others struggled to add emotion to their cello playing, Gan Yanyu seed like she just played a round of SAO, having crossed through and returned.
If you asked her why her performance was so impressive,
she didn’t know, wasn’t aware, to her, it was like a ti-travel experience....
Where do you go to reason this out?
So, sotis, Gan Yanyu not having a clear judgnt of her ability wasn’t really her fault.
Her foundational logic in playing was just different from others.
But now it’s truly different.
While maintaining her experiential playing ability, Gan Yanyu has gradually optimized her playing structure.
Now, she can clearly analyze and understand "where she played well" and "why she perford that way."
Therefore, seeing Gan Yanyu now critique other cellists sharply under Lin Tian’s guidance, Lin Tian was genuinely gratified.
Because this basically represented:
Gan Yanyu now, not only is she strong, but she’s strong with reason! She knows why she’s strong and understands why others aren’t as strong as she is!
Our Mr. Gan....
has completely transford into a multi-talented warrior!!
