Hansoo was staying at a hotel near the Warsaw Philharmonic at Chopin International Piano Conquer.

Simon and Daniel grumble.

“Oh, you've got to be kidding me. Journalists have always wondered what's the big deal. ”

“It's the only way. A world-renowned rock band vocalist declared he was going to conquer the classical industry and in two years he was going to keep that promise. From their point of view, the Mongol army looks strong. ”

“Is that so?"

Simon shrugs.

Daniel's parable was quite appropriate.

The Mongols deployed horsemen to conquer the western foothills, and the Mongols turned the western foothills into shrubs at that time.

Poland was one of the western countries that suffered extensive damage to the Mongol army.

The biggest casualties were Russia and Poland's continued war.

In particular, during the first expedition of the Mongol Empire, Poland was severely devastated as the entire country was devastated.

Daniel was just talking about it.

In fact, some Polish media have even expressed their strength publicly as an invader.

Hansoo had to overcome that bias and go through the preliminaries, the three main lines, and the final ones.

Obviously, it wasn't easy.

But I wouldn't have come here in the first place if I wasn't confident.

Then Simon looks at Hansoo and asks.

“Since when do you qualify? ”

“I'm going to be in the preliminaries the day after tomorrow. ”

“So the day is empty tomorrow? Are you staying at the hotel tomorrow? ”

“No, I have somewhere to be tomorrow. ”

“You have somewhere to be? Where is it?”

Hansoo opens his mouth with a smile.

“I'm going to a place called Gelazova Vola. ”

Daniel opens his eyes and asks.

“Isn't Chopin's birthplace somewhere? ”

“That's right. I wanted to go back and forth once before I started qualifying. ”

Hansoo smiled and replied.

Daniel opens his mouth with a smile.

“Good idea. Let's go.”

The next morning, three men left early for Warsaw Central Station.

After boarding the train, the three arrived at Sochaczew Station. Then he got on the bus and started moving towards Gelazova Bola.

The more you entered the countryside, the less people there were.

Meanwhile, the three of them wandering around was enough to attract the attention of others.

Hansoo asked a skilled Polish passerby for directions, and they soon arrived at Chopin's birthplace.

The statue of Chopin was carved next to Sanga.

In the backyard of Saint-Germain there was a memorial statue, beautifully decorated with red and white flowers, the Polish symbol.

They enter the garden.

Chopin's music flowed gently through the garden, including Florence and Majorca.

They enter the Chopin household under the guidance of the caretaker.

Inside was a portrait of the Chopin family, an old brown piano, and several musical notes.

At that time, Hansoo was able to face a man who was looking around Chopin Sanga one step ahead of them.

He was tall, dark hair, and he was Chinese.

The opposing Pokémon's eyes widen as if they recognize Hansoo.

He looked at Hansoo and asked in English.

“Hans, is that right? ”

“Yes, that's right. ”

“Nice to meet you. You must be here ahead of the preliminary selection. ”

“· · · · · · You are also a Chopin International Piano Concur participant. ”

“Yes. I'm here to win. ”

He replied with a proud voice.

Hansoo looks at him and asks.

“What's your name? ”

“I'm Levi. You can call me Lee at your leisure. ”

“I see.”

“Then I'll go back first. I've been here for a while. See you in Philharmonic.”

Liwihan left Chopin's birthplace first.

Hansoo glanced at him quietly.

At first glance, I thought he was an unusual talent. I was just feeling it naturally.

After a while, Hansoo slowly looked back at Chopin's livelihood and fell in love.

And he returned to Warsaw.

Now I had to prepare for tomorrow's preliminary selection.

* * *

The preliminary selection is the selection and selection of 160 people from all over the world.

They are all properly sewn through a DVD screening or recommendation.

The 160 people will perform the assignment 10 minutes per person and then be judged over the week. And only the last 80 to survive here will be able to enter the main stage.

Hansoo was waiting for his turn.

Starting today, Hansoo had to play the assignment for 10 minutes.

The first song he picked was a 10-7 by Etude C.

The guide again made sure Hansoo was on the right track list and left.

In the meantime, I saw the participant who played ahead of Hansoo finish.

She was filled with tears.

It's because I'm more nervous than I thought and can't do my best.

Hansoo sighs as she looks at her, unable to get off the stage.

Even for a moment, he squeezes his tension strap tightly and heads up to the stage.

The judges were lined up at the front of the stage. Since then, an audience and other participants have been seen gathering to hear 160 people perform in the preliminary selection.

Among them was Liwihan, whom I met at Chopin's place yesterday.

They were all paying attention to a number of plays.

To this extent, Hansoo was placed as a boundary target # 1 for all of them.

On the other hand, Alfred, one of the judges who had unanimously passed Hansoo, was still on the bench today.

Hansoo's song was hard to get tempo from the first song.

This song had the technical difficulty of combining the repeats in the upper right hand with the repeats in the lower right, and had to play the repeats quickly, switching fingers that much.

The judges breathed and waited for Hansoo to start playing.

At the same time, Hansoo puts his hands on the crossbar.

And then the music started.

The music is over.

After ten minutes of playing, everyone froze.

“Ha · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

It was Levi who opened his mouth first.

He looked at Hansoo with an unbelievable face.

It was really overwhelming.

The perfect technique with no errors, and the enormous resonance that governs people's minds.

It was not too much to say that Chopin was sitting there.

The winner had already been decided.

Unlike what Liwihan thought, the other participants were also losing their will to deal with Hansoo.

It was so powerful.

I know it's only been three years since I hit the piano, and my commitment to the piano has not been more than a few months.

But what he showed was more than he could ever imagine.

It was overwhelming to think that Chopin had come a second time.

The judges also shook their heads.

I had to make a deduction, but couldn't find anything to make a deduction.

There was only one score I could give him.

Perfect.

It was so perfect.

I felt even creepier because it was a finished play that could not be scratched.

In the case of Alfred, who can boast that he has heard the most number of plays here, he can't even stand up because his legs are so relaxed.

Pre-selection.

He is already being evaluated as a winner.

One reason is that the skill is too overwhelming.

Alfred stares at Hansoo.

When I got up from my seat and greeted him, I saw him leaving the stage, relaxing.

In a certain way, it was inevitable.

I showed her a perfect stage like that, but if I couldn't afford it, it didn't make sense.

But on the one hand, I became more anxious.

It's because I didn't want to see him win the Chopin International Piano Conquer.

He wasn't a pianist.

I was not a person who would stay in the classics for life.

I did not want to see him awarded the winning trophy of Chopin International Piano Concur, which is the most prestigious of all the world's leading concurs.

But the problem was, I didn't see any enemies to stop him.

* * *

The preliminary selection is over.

And tonight, we have a preliminary candidate announcement at Chopin Academy.

Hansoo heads to Chopin Academy with Simon and Daniel.

Every time he moved, the journalists chased after him.

Hansoo was already that kind of person.

As such, Hansoo arrived at Chopin Academy and found out that he had passed the preliminary selection.

In a certain sense, it was natural.

Hansoo returned to the hotel as soon as she heard the results of her pass.

By tomorrow, Chopin Concur will have a full screen of Chopin Concur.

Eighty pianists drawn to cover the fierce preliminary selection will have to run the first round over nine days.

There are 30 passers in the first round.

And there were 18 judges.

Participants had to play two Etudes, one Knockton, one in the ballad and the other designated works, such as Freelude, which usually took between 40 and 45 minutes per person.

Hansoo was scheduled to play on the last day.

The next day, Hansoo went to Chopin Concur.

I wanted to hear other participants play the piano through the preliminary selection.

There will be 4 in the morning and 5 in the afternoon, and some of the pianists playing in the morning also included Liwihan.

The pianist Hansoo was focusing on was Liwihan.

And with Chopin International Piano Concourse in full swing, four out of 80 people made the preliminary rounds.

They were skilled enough to make it through the preliminary selection.

However, Hansoo could see that none of these pianists were objectively better than themselves.

And then the last pianist in the morning.

The fourth pianist to be played was Liwihan from China.

The moderator picked up Mike and introduced him.

“Number four, for Lee, China! Grains are rusted. ”

Lee Wihan, dressed in a gown, walks towards the piano in line with the host's guidance.

And he sat down in front of the piano.

The first song that Liwihan started playing was Knockton.

Then he followed Ethud in succession.

Afterwards, Liwihan continued to play the given assignment without rest, and each time, Concur became quieter and quieter.

It was evidence that everyone was immersed in his performance.

Hansoo glanced at Liwihan with a mysterious look.

I felt it from the moment I first saw Chopin, but he was clearly different from others.

And the stage he saw today was overwhelming.

Lastly, Bravo bursts out in a row, as if proving it at the moment when Liwihan hits the keyboard and raises his hand.

At the same time, people stood up and applauded.

I don't know who else will be playing this afternoon, but it was Lee Yong who performed the best today.
