After all, they are the only two pianists performing original compositions in the preliminary competition, and both happen to be rhapsodies.
It's hard not to make the audience, judges, pianists, and netizens discuss them together.
Some netizens even straightforwardly said:
Lin Tian's resume and background advancing to the finals are because he produced the same type of composition as Nishikawa Yuubei.
Because, aside from some fans.
The vast majority, whether pianists or media reporters present, believe that "Croatian Rhapsody" is an absolutely world-class masterpiece, surpassing "Dawn Night Lament" significantly.
Even if Lin Tian's performance level is slightly less competent, it doesn't change this fact.
But Nishikawa Yuubei advanced.
If Lin Tian hadn't advanced.....
It would have been embarrassing!
At that time, the media reports would turn into:
"Dawn Night Lament" advanced, "Croatian Rhapsody" didn't advance.
But they are the same type of composition.
