On the 25th, Qin Fangge and Xiao Yuran stayed in the piano room all day, in addition to helping her overcome the reference repertoire, he also went to the room to practice for several hours, he continued to tackle Bach's twelve equal temperaments, and felt that in the deep and complex world of classical music, he was just a small shrimp who did not enter the stream.

On the morning of the 26th, Xiao Yuran went to participate in the re-examination of the piano performance department, and after a few days of surprise practice, her confidence increased a lot. Qin Fangge and Chen Yushan both told her to relax and show her usual level.

Xiao Yuran has also participated in many competitions, but she is not particularly nervous, Qin Fangge has made great contributions in this regard. She is now accustomed to a super pervert like Qin Fangge by her side, other candidates can no longer bring her any pressure, no matter how powerful they are, can they be more powerful than Qin Fangge? As Qin Fangge said, just play the level of the usual practice.

Xiao Yuran's luck is really good, and the order of the exam is in the middle.

When she entered the examination room, she was only a little nervous, more excited and excited, and now it was time for her to practice hard for more than ten years to accept the results.

Among the teachers who invigilated her, Professor Deng Hongmei, who guided her, was also there, but at this time, she would definitely not recognize who was the student, only look at the piano level of the candidates, and see the real chapter.

Now when she takes the retest, Xiao Yuran has to play a total of three tunes, two of Strong's sonatas and the medium-sized piece "Home" that she chose herself, as well as the ability test, the piano piece released on the official website, all of which require memorization, so she can also travel lightly.

She bowed first, reported the repertoire to be played, and then went over to sit down at the piano.

The teachers in the piano department of Strong's Second Sonata are no strangers, and many students have chosen this sonata to take the exam, and they can't remember whether Xiao Yuran is the fourth or the fifth.

But Xiao Yuran's handling of the first note made the invigilators feel bright. As the so-called expert kung fu shot, you will know if there is one.

It can be heard that Xiao Yuran has worked this song.

The timbre and treatment she plays have a faint flavor of Horwitz, a pianist who specializes in playing Strong's works.

Xiao Yuran didn't care so much, when she sat in front of the piano, she would devote herself wholeheartedly.

The beginning and end of this piece are also the parts that Qin Fangge corrected and practiced the most for her. Qin Fangge also said that this is called taking the lead, and now it seems that the effect is quite good.

Students who have not yet entered the undergraduate piano department have the demeanor of a master Horwitz.

And the teachers can also hear that this is definitely not a simple imitation, Xiao Yuran's piano performance has her own unique style, that kind of rare spirituality, lively. This is her new interpretation of this piano piece, which is very in line with the characteristics of this piano piece.

Moreover, Xiao Yuran's next performance does not have much to find fault with, she is extremely smooth all the way, confident and warm, and interprets the feeling of brightness and sadness in the romance quite perfectly.

At the end of the song, she also did a particularly good job, matching her expression, special taste!

is also playing this sonata, Xiao Yuran is the most eye-catching among many candidates.

Then there is Strong's "Home", a piano piece, which is very difficult and the expression of feelings is also very complicated, after watching her previous performances, the teachers have new expectations for her, hoping that she can perform something different.

Among them, Xiao Yuran's instructor, Professor Deng Hongmei, who is in his fifties, is especially looking forward to it.

Because of the performance of the first and second tests, Xiao Yuran's performance is perfect, and it is not surprising to say that she has performed exceptionally this time. When I first learned from her, her progress was not so fast, no matter what kind of opportunities she had, in private, she must have put in a lot of hard work.

Xiao Yuran did not disappoint them, in the treatment of the opening chapter of this song "Homeland", she showed her unique spirituality, and interpreted the feeling of longing for the warmth and affection of the old country garden in an almost perfect way.

This time, the feeling she brought to the teachers was not only eye-catching, but simply amazing!

But this is just the beginning, under Xiao Yuran's dexterous flying fingers, the sound of the piano flows out like flowing water, making people feel as if they are in the scene, the vast grassland, the curling smoke, the flowing stream, the quiet village, the vertical and horizontal farmland, everything, weaving a beautiful picture.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, the enemy invaded, and no matter how good the homeland was, people had to be forced to leave their homes.

This chapter is also the most technical.

In the treatment of this section, Xiao Yuran seemed particularly resolute and intense, and the series of octave jumps, transpositions, and decorative notes flowed out of her fingers, giving people a rather shocking feeling. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, it would have been hard to believe that her seemingly petite body could burst out with such amazing power, and the teachers seemed to feel the stirring in her heart.

And the serenos that seem to be stormy also illustrate the suddenness and cruelty of the war, the unwillingness and grief in the hearts of those who have left their hometowns, and pave the way for the subsequent counterattack.

The last chapter is about defeating the enemy, people returning to their homes, and their homes being destroyed, but in addition to grief, people have more confidence and hope in their hearts, and with everyone's wisdom and strength, they will be able to rebuild a good homeland.

This is a rare passionate work in Strong's piano music, and Xiao Yuran is particularly in place in the handling of feelings, even specific to each bar.

Of course, Xiao Yuran's interpretation is not so perfect that it is impeccable, and the teachers are not demanding. This is also something that can't be helped, she is a girl, her hands are small, and she can't compare to Strong, who already loves to show off her skills. Many students were playing Strong's tunes, scolding and playing at the same time.

Xiao Yuran's ability to perform this "Home" to such a level has greatly exceeded the imagination of the teachers. In addition to Xiao Yuran's own talent and spirituality, they also wanted to know who her instructor was.

Regarding this, her authentic instructor Deng Hongmei also wanted to ask about it, but unfortunately now is not the time.

At the end of this "Home", Xiao Yuran's forehead was oozing fine sweat, but she didn't have time to wipe it, so she only rested a little and continued the next piano song.

That is, the Huaxia Conservatory of Music will ask students to go back to practice in advance, and memorize the repertoire when they take the retest.

Qin Fangge was completed in less than half an hour, but Xiao Yuran took much more time, and it was completely memorized, not missing a note, although the song itself had no special significance.

But here, she still showed her own good condition, solid basic skills, and her own unique aura.

In this decent piano song, she integrated the understanding of her and Qin Fangge, in order to show more emotional colors, such as ideals and youth.

Thankfully, her actions were praised by the teachers, and piano performance was originally a creative process. However, the balance between this must be particularly clear, both to be true to the original composer's intentions and to show one's own things.

At the moment, Xiao Yuran is still doing quite well.

After more than 20 minutes of piano playing, the sweat on Xiao Yuran's forehead had already gushed out, and she felt that it was also a big challenge to her physical strength.

After she finished playing, she was asked by the teachers, just to ask her about her understanding of these pieces, how she felt when she played them, and so on. In particular, Deng Hongmei also asked her whether the prescribed repertoire was interpreted according to her own understanding?

Fortunately, Qin Fangge had rehearsed with her on this issue, because he wanted to fulfill it, she didn't want to be in the limelight, and he didn't mind hiding his own merits. Xiao Yuran said that she resolutely disagreed, because she had a guilty conscience. However, she was very entangled, worried that Professor Deng Hongmei would be angry, Qin Fangge laughed at the time, saying that Professor Deng was a well-known professor, so he would not be so stingy.

When asked at this time, Xiao Yuran replied truthfully, "Not only the last song, but my friends usually help me a lot when I practice these songs." ”

Deng Hongmei asked her what her friend's name was.

Xiao Yuran hesitated slightly, and then replied, "Qin Fangge!"

Then a male teacher said, "Qin Fangge, you are admitted to the vocal music department! I heard that he also wrote several piano pieces, you and he are friends, can you play the "Puppy Waltz"?"

Xiao Yuran nodded and said yes, then the teacher asked her to play, and now the matter of Qin Fangge's Huaxia Conservatory of Music is about to spread all over the world, and the teachers of the Vocal Opera Department treat him as a genius. The piano accompaniment teachers in the vocal opera department are all from the piano department of the Huaxia Conservatory of Music, and the piano department can also get the news as soon as possible.

Qin Fangge's "Puppy Waltz" is not long anyway, more than a minute.

Xiao Yuran secretly felt glad that she had pestered him to teach her how to play, otherwise she would be embarrassed now. As his friend, he can't even play the tunes he wrote, and he is so good to himself, it seems that she has to play his tunes well if she can help him do it.

On this "Puppy Waltz in D-flat Major", Xiao Yuran's performance is perfect, especially for those teachers who listen to this piano piece for the first time. After all, Xiao Yuran has received the personal guidance of Qin Fangge, the "original composition", and his level will not be much worse.

Of course, the piece itself is quite good, depicting a witty and interesting situation. Although it is brief, it is not surprising that at a time when classical music is seriously disconnected and composition is stagnant, such a work is said to be the best in the world today.

After the teachers made eye contact, another teacher asked her if Qin Fangge had written similar piano repertoire. The implication of his words is also obvious, if it is this kind of classical music, although "Castle in the Sky" is good, in the eyes of classical academics, it is not orthodox.

Xiao Yuran nodded, saying that she would also Qin Fang's own polyphonic music "Canon Variations", which felt very good.

The teachers suddenly felt very fresh, and hurriedly asked her to play it out and listen to it, they didn't hear the piano accompanist from the vocal opera department say that he would write such a song, it seems that this guy is indeed a bit low-key.

Since the inception and development of this form of Canon's music, there have been quite a few versions, but in this world, there is no one that has really developed this form to the peak and has been unanimously liked and recognized by everyone.

I wonder what the Canon variations written by Qin Fangge, who claims to be a genius, will be?

If he really is that talented, their piano department can consider poaching him. This guy has such a good talent and talent, and what kind of vocal opera is he going to study, it's a terrible thing! Isn't it more honorable to train a classical pianist or even a composer than a singer and opera?

Right now, the heavy task of finding out his true level fell on the little girl in front of him, Xiao Yuran didn't look nervous at all, but was still a little excited.

Xiao Yuran felt that this was the most meaningful thing she had ever done for Qin Fangge. Two days ago, she said that if she had the opportunity, she would bring his work to the stage. I didn't expect this day to come so quickly, in Xiao Yuran's heart, there is no difference between such a scene now and being on stage.

Several of Qin Fangge's piano songs, Xiao Yuran used them as rest activities after practicing, which were relatively simple, but they were all quite good.

And her favorite is the "Canon Variations" that he performed himself after singing the tear-jerking "Understand You" on the stage where he was about to enter the wine. That scene, that warm and warm feeling, she will probably never forget in her life.

This canon, Xiao Yuran naturally got Qin Fangge's personal guidance, in her own words, "You don't want me to embarrass you!"

Thinking of this, a warm smile unconsciously appeared on Xiao Yuran's face, and the small dimples on his round face also appeared mischievously.

This is a warm, even particularly warm and cheerful song, Xiao Yuran's interpretation is quite good, because she likes it, she has spent a lot of effort on this song.

After the performance, Xiao Yuran unconsciously added, "I think Qin Fangge's performance is much better than mine." ”

The invigilators present are all outstanding piano performers, and their understanding of polyphonic music is definitely more profound than Xiao Yuran's.

But they don't have that kind of talent and inspiration, they can't write such a song, and it's a pity that they can't hear Qin Fangge perform this song with their own ears, at that time, he was really at his peak.

The feeling that can only be meant but not spoken, Xiao Yuran can feel it more deeply when he plays by himself. That's why I said such things without thinking.

The teachers didn't think she was saying a compliment, because it wasn't necessary.

Now what they need to consider is whether to recruit Qin Fangge into the piano department, and whether he is willing to enter the piano department? Since Zhou Jia, the piano department has not been able to get international talents for a long time. Even a good seedling like Zhou Jia finally went straight to a foreign conservatory to study, I have to say that this is the sadness of the Huaxia Conservatory of Music.

For gifted students, the Conservatory has always been strongly welcome, the more talented the better, there are no ordinary people in the Conservatory.

Xiao Yuran is a little talented, with her current level and potential, she is qualified to enter the piano department of Huaxia Conservatory of Music, but if she wants to become famous and start a family, it is still too reluctant. But she was lucky because she met a good friend like Qin Fangge.

Zhou Jia, a young pianist who has been famous for a long time, can be regarded as the most talented teacher has ever seen, but he can play other people's piano music well, but he can never write piano music like "Puppy Waltz" or even "Canon Variations".

Whether this is the sorrow of education or whatever, they can't tell. But when you meet a gifted student, you should never miss it, but it is their unanimous consensus.

But equally, they can't afford to waste too much time in the exam room, and there are other candidates waiting to enter the exam room.

After the teachers encouraged Xiao Yuran a few words, they asked her to go back and continue to work hard, and then called the candidates behind her to come in.

Xiao Yuran was very excited, and it was far beyond her imagination to have such treatment as she was now.
