Chapter 117 The Tune Feels Unfamiliar
On the stage.
The eighth-place winner was playing their own piano piece.
This year's competition not only tested the players' piano skills, but also required them to compose and compete with their own compositions.
Many skilled piano players were unable to participate in this year's competition because they couldn't compose.
At this moment, the eighth-place winner finished playing their piece, stood up gracefully for applause, and after the host led the applause, the seventh-place winner was invited to perform on stage...
Suddenly, Mrs. Medici received a phone call, her brows relaxed, and she lowered her voice to tell her two daughters, "Your grandmother had been unconscious for several days and has finally woken up. We will go see her and be back soon."
"Dad, Mom, go ahead with peace of mind." Lola showed her understanding. "There is still some time before I receive the award, no rush."
"We will try to be back before your award ceremony." Mrs. Medici said kindly, then looked at Abella. "Abella, call me anytime if there's anything."
"Okay."
After Mr. Medici and Mrs. Medici left, Lola looked down on Abella, slowly asking, "Sister, have you learned piano before? Have you ever won any awards?"
She looked at the stage confidently and said, "I started learning piano at the age of four, and Andy, the teacher who never takes on students, accepted me as his apprentice after seeing my performance. Do you know who Andy is? He is a famous piano master in the country...
Many people dream of being guided by her but don't have the qualifications... Under her guidance, my piano skills improved by leaps and bounds, and I have won over fifty first places since I was young!"
Her tone was filled with pride as she raised her neck and asked, "What was the name of your previous private tutor? Have they won any awards in this field?"
Perhaps before Abella could reply, she turned her head and saw that Abella had put on headphones and was deeply focused on playing games.
Lola became a bit annoyed, but upon careful thought, she realized that this country girl would never amount to much in her life? She's useless!
After a while, the host held the microphone, passionately saying, "Next, we have Isla, the second-place winner of this competition, presenting a piece called 'Sorrow' for everyone."
Isla smiled when she heard the host's voice and stood up, wearing expensive attire as she went on stage.
She sat in front of the piano, took a deep breath, and then slowly played this beautiful piece that won her the second place.
Lady Rosemary, sitting in the front row, found the first half of the piece somewhat unpleasant, but after listening to the entire composition, she felt a strange familiarity, as if she had heard it somewhere before...
In the audience, many people whispered:
"The climax of her piece sounds so beautiful! It has such artistic conception!"
"Just the technique of playing seems a bit off...”
"The performance was great, but I felt a bit nervous and unfamiliar in the beginning," she said.
"Putting aside the introduction and conclusion of the piece, the climax was beautifully written. It's astonishing that a young girl like her could compose such a beautiful melody..." Many people praised Isla.
Even the piano master Chandler Bing in this field couldn't help but smile and said to Lady Rosemary beside him, "Lady Rosemary, weren't you looking for talented students recently? What do you think of Isla?"
Lady Rosemary never liked the Wilson family, so she didn't have a good impression of Isla. Speaking of talent, she hadn't seen a more talented child than Abella in years! However, Abella's piano skills far surpassed her own. Even if she wanted to take on an apprentice, it would be her becoming someone else's apprentice...
But a young and talented master like Abella wouldn't even consider such a small matter as taking on apprentices!
"The second prize winner not only composed well, but especially the climax of the piece sounded amazing."
"I was also attracted by the climax of this piece. It's like brainwashing. After listening to it once, I wanted to listen to it again..."
"Me too!"
"She didn't write the introduction and conclusion well, but the climax is truly admirable!"
Several heavyweight guests around Lady Rosemary praised Isla's piece.
When she finished playing, Isla stood up gracefully and bowed to the audience below.
When she lifted her gaze, she happened to see Remy in the audience, his eyes filled with love and appreciation, applauding for her.
Isla's heart felt a little excited.
Then she looked at Lady Rosemary, hoping to see a regretful expression on her face. After all, not having such a talented female disciple would definitely be a loss for Lady Rosemary!
But Lady Rosemary's expression wasn't pleasant. She even furrowed her brows and tapped her fingers on the table, seemingly contemplating something.
What's wrong? Did she not play well just now?
Isla was about to look away, but unintentionally, she saw Abella sitting in the third row, only two seats away from the daughter of the billionaire!
She couldn't believe it and found it unbelievable. How was it possible?
Those entire row of seats were either occupied by people of high status and influence or by the winners or their family members.
But Abella was none of those things. What qualifications did she have to sit there?
Could it be that Lola, the daughter of the billionaire, didn't mind and was kind-hearted?
Or, was she accompanying a wealthy sponsor?
Isla deliberately looked to the side again, but there were no members of the opposite sex next to Abella. She couldn't fathom what kind of sponsor could bring Abella to sit on an equal footing with the billionaire's family...
Abella's fortunate life was simply too good!
Because of Isla's elegant bow, the audience erupted in warm applause. Even the teachers and senior attendees at the award ceremony couldn't stop praising this child.
"The name of this piano composition is 'Sorrow,' but I could hear hope from the climax, encouraging those who have suffered from natural disasters or human calamities."
"People need to strive and bravely survive, there are still many beautiful things in life..."
"Yes, when I heard the climax part, images of the earthquake aftermath and the courage to rebuild also came to my mind..."
"That's so coincidental, I also had images of natural disasters in my mind..."
"Me too."
Lady Rosemary suddenly realized where this sense of familiarity came from - earthquake, inspiration, bravery, resilience...
She looked at the girl who walked off the stage, with a displeased expression in her eyes!
Next, the host invited Lola to perform on stage as the finale of the award ceremony. As soon as Lola stepped on stage, the applause was incessant!
Although she didn't invite Phillippe to watch her award ceremony today, she earned the envy and jealousy of Abella, so she still won!
She sat gracefully in front of the piano and elegantly played her own piece.
Five minutes later, she stood up and gracefully took a bow. However, when she looked towards the audience seats, she realized her parents hadn't come back yet and Abella was still playing games, showing no signs of envy or jealousy!
Lola immediately became angry!
The applause from the audience was continuous.
"Lola's piece is really well-written! Just as excellent as she is."
"No wonder she's the daughter of the richest man, outstanding in every aspect since childhood!"
