Chapter 206 The Piano Queen's Evaluation

She was still wearing a white dress and white gloves.

Lin Rui's entrance was not glamorous, but his demeanor as he sat at the piano deeply captivated the viewers watching the live stream.

Whether they came from China or from beyond the Great Firewall, the vast majority of people had the same thought.

Born a nobleman!

Without any grand or impassioned speech, Lin Rui simply stroked the black and white piano keys, and the delicate piano music unfolded gently.

Emotional halo!

Start!

The Five Constants are passive!

The halo of etiquette!

The pianists from China couldn't help but close their eyes.

Right now, nearly 99% of pianists in China are glued to the Spring Festival Gala, just to catch a glimpse of the brilliance of the world's piano masters!

Outside of China, thanks to Christie's promotion, a large number of people in the piano community also watched this live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala from China.

It must be admitted that many pianists showed surprise on their faces as soon as Lin Rui began playing.

Polyphonic techniques!

In the piano world, some people have tried this technique, but it has obvious flaws, so it did not generate much of a response.

But things are different now. This piano master from China is playing a near-perfect polyphonic piece with extremely skillful technique!

When the piece ended, all the pianists who watched the Spring Festival Gala live felt a little unsatisfied.

In contrast to the pianists' high spirits, many classical musicians from abroad, after listening to the piece, began to criticize it for lacking depth, a sentiment echoed by many.

This greatly displeased pianists, led by Christie.

Why can the evaluation of music only be based on a single dimension?

"Finding robustness in lyrical music, seriousness in humorous music, and lightness in contrapuntal music—is this your understanding of music?"

…

These classical musicians, unable to retaliate after being criticized, could only remain silent, their resentment towards the piano piece growing even stronger.

Of course, not all classical musicians took a rebuttal stance; quite a few responded positively.

Zhao Wanwan did not stay in China to celebrate the Spring Festival Gala; at the moment, she was studying in France with Christie.

Besides her, Christie has four other disciples, and they are currently discussing this.

"Compared to classical pieces full of key changes and altered notes, Master Fusheng's 'Canon' has a more beautiful natural mode in addition to its melodious tune."

"It has many advantages, especially its emphasis on the clarity of melody and harmony."

One of the students sat at the piano, seemingly inspired, and began to rhythmically play the black and white keys.

Despite its lack of aesthetic appeal and some flaws in the musical sequence, he has clearly found a new direction for his creative work!

As a teacher, Christie was also inspired.

At this moment, she was also sitting at another piano, her slender fingers moving lightly across the black and white keys.

The piece being played was none other than Lin Rui's "Canon Variations" from the Spring Festival Gala!

No sheet music needed!

Relying solely on her memory and her mastery of musical rhythm, she was able to play the entire piece after hearing it only once!

The five disciples, including Zhao Wanwan, all showed expressions of admiration.

Christie, hailed as the Queen of Piano and a textbook of the piano world, truly lives up to her reputation!

"The way this piece handles emotions is poignant yet not tragic, and the way it manages to express emotions is absolutely textbook-worthy."

As Christie spoke, she experimented with some small creations using polyphony.

"The melody is beautiful, but the inspiration it brings is even more remarkable."

"Even to people who have not received formal music education, this piece can still resonate with them."
