Choncho kupambana kunali kokwanira. Komabe, pa phwando limene anthu a ku Moscow anam'patsa, panali kuzizira kwina: sanabweretse chisangalalo choterocho kotero kuti chisangalalo chachikondi cha Cliburn, chiyambi chodabwitsa cha Ogdon, kapena chithumwa cha unyamata chochokera ku G. Sokolov adayambitsa kale. Inde, zonse zinali bwino, zonse zinali m'malo, "koma china chake, mtundu wina wa zest, chinali kusowa. Izi zinazindikiridwanso ndi akatswiri ambiri, makamaka pamene chisangalalo champikisano chinachepa ndipo wopambana anapita paulendo wake woyamba kuzungulira dziko lathu. Katswiri wina wodziŵa kuimba piyano, wosuliza ndi woimba piyano P. Pechersky, amene anapereka chiyamikiro ku luso la Lill, kumveketsa bwino malingaliro ake ndi kuseŵera kosavuta, anati: “Woyimba piyano “samagwira ntchito ” ngakhale mwakuthupi kapena (kalanga!) mwamalingaliro. Ndipo ngati woyamba agonjetsa ndi kukondwera, ndiye kuti wachiwiri amakhumudwitsa ...

Lingaliro ili lonse (ndi mithunzi yosiyanasiyana) linagawidwa ndi otsutsa ambiri. Zina mwazofunikira za wojambulayo, owunikirawo akuti "umoyo wamaganizidwe", chibadwa cha chisangalalo cha kulenga, kuwona mtima kwa nyimbo, kukhazikika kwabwino, "mawu akulu amasewera." Ndi ma epithets awa omwe tidzakumana nawo tikayang'ana ndemanga za machitidwe ake. “Apanso ndinachita chidwi ndi luso la woimba wachinyamatayo,” inalemba magazini yotchedwa “Musical Life” Lill ataimba nyimbo ya Third Concerto ya Prokofiev.

Pafupifupi zaka makumi atatu zapita kuchokera pamenepo. Chodabwitsa ndi chiyani pazaka izi kwa John Lill, ndi zinthu ziti zatsopano zomwe adabweretsa ku luso la ojambula? Kunja, zonse zikupitilira kukula bwino. Kupambana pa mpikisano kunatsegula zitseko za konsati yowonjezereka kwa iye: amayendayenda kwambiri, analemba pafupifupi ma sonatas onse a Beethoven ndi ntchito zina zambiri pa zolemba. Nthawi yomweyo, kwenikweni, nthawi sinawonjezere zatsopano pazithunzi zodziwika bwino za John Lill. Ayi, luso lake silinazimiririke. Monga kale, zaka zambiri zapitazo, atolankhani amapereka msonkho kwa "phokoso lake lozungulira ndi lolemera", kukoma kokhwima, kusamala kwa malemba a wolemba (m'malo mwake, ku chilembo chake kuposa mzimu wake). Lill, makamaka, samadula konse ndikuchita kubwerezabwereza, monga momwe wolembayo adanenera, ali mlendo ku chikhumbo chofuna kugwiritsa ntchito zotsika mtengo, kusewera kwa omvera.

“Popeza kuti nyimbo za iye sizimangosonyeza kukongola kokha, osati kungokopa chidwi chabe, osati zosangalatsa zokha, komanso mawu a chowonadi, amaona ntchito yake ngati chithunzithunzi cha zenizeni izi popanda kusokoneza zokonda zotsika mtengo, popanda zizolowezi zokopa. mtundu uliwonse.” adalemba magazini ya Record and Recording, akukondwerera zaka 25 za ntchito yojambula ya wojambula pamasiku omwe adakwanitsa zaka 35!

Koma panthawi imodzimodziyo, kulingalira nthawi zambiri kumasandulika kukhala oganiza bwino, ndipo "piyano yamalonda" yotereyi sapeza yankho lachikondi mwa omvera. “Salola kuti nyimbo zimuyandikire kuposa mmene amaganizira kuti n’zovomerezeka; amakhala naye nthawi zonse, pa inu, "adatero m'modzi mwa owonera achingerezi. Ngakhale ndemanga za mmodzi wa "mambala a korona" wa wojambula - "Beethoven's Fifth Concerto" akhoza kukumana ndi matanthauzo amenewa: "molimba mtima, koma popanda m'maganizo", "zochititsa manyazi osalenga", "zosasangalatsa ndi moona wotopetsa". M'modzi mwa otsutsa, mopanda kuseketsa, analemba kuti "Masewera a Lill ndi ofanana ndi nkhani yolembedwa ndi mphunzitsi wa sukulu: chirichonse chikuwoneka kuti chiri cholondola, choganiziridwa, chimodzimodzi, koma sichikhala chodzidzimutsa komanso kuthawa kumeneko. , popanda kulenga kosatheka, ndi kukhulupirika mu zidutswa zosiyana, zochitidwa bwino. Kumverera kusowa kwamalingaliro, chikhalidwe chachilengedwe, wojambula nthawi zina amayesa kubwezera izi mwachinyengo - amayambitsa zinthu za subjectivism mu kutanthauzira kwake, amawononga nyimbo zamoyo, zimatsutsana ndi iye mwini. Koma maulendo oterowo sapereka zotsatira zomwe mukufuna. Panthawi imodzimodziyo, zolemba zaposachedwa za Lill, makamaka zojambulidwa za sonatas za Beethoven, zimapereka chifukwa cholankhulira za chikhumbo chakuya kwa luso lake, kufotokoza mokulirapo pakusewera kwake.

Kotero, owerenga adzafunsa, kodi zikutanthauza kuti John Lill sanavomereze mutu wa wopambana wa Mpikisano wa Tchaikovsky panobe? Yankho si lophweka. Zoonadi, uyu ndi woimba piyano wolimba, wokhwima komanso wanzeru yemwe adalowa mu nthawi ya kulenga kwake. Koma kukula kwake m’zaka makumi angapo zapitazi sikunakhale kofulumira monga kale. Mwinamwake, chifukwa chake ndi chakuti kukula kwa umunthu wa wojambula ndi chiyambi chake sichikugwirizana ndi talente yake ya nyimbo ndi piyano. Komabe, kwatsala pang'ono kutsimikizira zomaliza - pambuyo pake, mwayi wa John Lill uli kutali kwambiri.
