When he arrived at the examination center of the Conservatory of Music, Cheng Xiaoyu read the exam announcement, and the preliminary examination of the piano department was divided into six examination rooms, starting at 9 o'clock in the morning to 12 o'clock, and starting at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

There are seventy or eighty people in each session, which means that there are almost 500 people who want to be admitted to the opera and piano department, and the number of admissions is only 30, which means that the admission rate is less than 6%. Except for the alto, this admission rate should be the lowest admission rate in China. Other music schools also have a 15 percent admission rate.

But anyone wants to try their luck and see if they have a chance of getting into such a top institution. After all, as long as the time of the art examination does not conflict, there will be more opportunities to take the exam in a few more schools.

But this is not bad compared to the ratio of 1 in 200 in the film and television academy and the opera academy.

Every year, there are a large number of media and some photography enthusiasts at the entrance of the theater to shoot fresh film and television and opera candidates, generally the students of these two majors are handsome men and beautiful women, and many future superstars may be born in this.

Because the threshold is relatively low, those who look a little better will come to compete for their appearance, so the number of applicants is even higher, it is said that this year, there are more than 3,000 handsome men and women competing for 40 places.

Cheng Xiaoyu began to find out which examination room he belonged to according to his admission ticket number. After reading all the way, I found that I was actually the last number, that is, the last exam in the sixth examination room. He estimated that this should be Aunt Zhou's arrangement, grinning, thinking that there should be nothing to do this morning.

Cheng Xiaoyu's sixth examination room is in a small multi-functional concert hall on the first floor of the Conservatory of Music, Cheng Xiaoyu entered this small hall from the front door, and found that there were already a lot of people seated, so he could only walk to the back and find a place to sit down.

Anyway, he was bored, so he took out a composition book and started drawing scores, he planned to upload a song to the GG music network recently, and he didn't have time to open the website to see if anyone listened to the four songs he uploaded. Even if no one listened, he was not very anxious, believing that gold would always shine.

When Cheng Xiaoyu was concentrating on drawing music, the exam had already begun, and there were three invigilators, two men and one woman, and those who read the exam number and name had to go up to play.

Bach's "Twelve Equal Temperaments" is a score that every piano student must practice every day, and Cheng Xiaoyu can memorize all the scores in it. This is also very good, and the candidates on the stage generally only memorize their own selected repertoire.

There were no questions in this year's exam, so the pressure to memorize the score was not very great.

The first candidate was a handsome boy, who stood at the piano and bowed to the three teachers, and then reported loudly that he played the G minor BWV885 in the 12th equal temperament.

The BWV885 Prelude in G minor is a strict four-part and the most Adagio, but it does not need to be played for the exam. The candidate starts with the fugue directly. This fugue is also a four-part piece, with a delicate structure in G minor BWV885, and the relationship between the theme and the counterpoint melody is not just the usual octave relationship, but adopts a double counterpoint technique that can be converted to 10th and 12th degrees. It is of medium difficulty in the law of twelve equals.

The simple ranking of difficulty in the 12 equal temperaments should be based on the number of parts of the fugue, and the more voices, the more difficult it is. It should be a basic requirement to choose four voices for the play, and if you play three voices particularly well, you can also use it, and you may get a higher score.

The fugue is the highest and most complex form of polyphonic music, and its formation has gone through a long process of development, and it is only in Bach's composition that the fugue is perfectly embodied. Bach's fugue is not entirely abstract music, it not only has a tight and compact philosophy, with endless changes in form, but also full of poetic feelings. Therefore, the 12 equal temperament is not only the best piano practice repertoire, but also a compulsory repertoire for all piano exams.

The first male candidate was obviously a little nervous, sitting quite tightly and not relaxed enough, and the speed and fluency of the whole piece were not very good, but fortunately there were no mistakes. And one of the keys to playing the twelve equal temperaments is speed and rhythm, and it is clear that he did not do it very well.

For the second Chopin etude, he chose the Etude in C major and Etude in E major from Chopin's Etude Op. 10.

The complete set of etudes numbered 10 and 25 in Chopin's Etudes is an example of the perfect combination of artistry and technique, and it can be said that musicality is prominent even beyond technique. In Chopin's piano music composition, the etude has always been his most important and representative stroke.

It is estimated that from the previous performance, it can be concluded that the male candidate has not yet met the requirements for playing, and before he finished playing, the three teachers, the teacher sitting in the middle, called a stop and said that the exam was over.

The boy walked out of the classroom a little depressed, and Cheng Xiaoyu also shook his head, it was estimated that it was no fun. These two Chopin etudes are technical and fast pieces, and it is more appropriate to use non-legato or finger breaks to mimic the crispness of a clavichord, but he uses wrist stutters. And his right hand is not accurate enough, he should prepare several fingers at the same time, and he can't play one and then lift the next finger, and the temporary lifting of the finger causes the lower key to be too late, and also makes the lower key more likely to be inaccurate.

Because this multi-purpose concert hall is not very large, even if Cheng Xiaoyu sits at the back, he can clearly see the movements of the people playing on the stage. In fact, it is not easy to play piano music well at this age, and it is actually very scary for him to be able to see and hear the shortcomings of others. But Cheng Xiaoyu didn't know what position he was in.

Cheng Xiaoyu listened to a few more candidates playing, and there were few who had a particularly high level, so he put his mind at ease, presumably the level of these candidates was roughly like this, and he felt that there was nothing to worry about, so he began to lean against the table and start sleeping. Anyway, he was the last one, and he didn't have a chance to play until the afternoon at the earliest.

When Cheng Xiaoyu woke up from the noisy piano sound, the morning exam was nearing the end, and more than 70 people had already taken more than half of the exam, Cheng Xiaoyu was not interested in continuing to watch, walked out of the multi-functional concert hall, and went out to find food.

It didn't start until two o'clock in the afternoon, and Cheng Xiaoyu wanted to find a place to eat and take a break to kill time. But apparently the wishes are good, and the reality is very cruel.

Because there were too many candidates, and there were many parents waiting at the door, the places to eat near the theater were overcrowded, so Cheng Xiaoyu could only look along the road and observe through the window whether there was any place inside. It wasn't until he found a Western restaurant that looked more expensive, and the seats were more desirable from the outside, and there were not many people inside, so Cheng Xiaoyu went in to try his luck.

When he entered the door, the welcome brought a four-seater in the middle position, and there were still traces of water on the table, apparently the people at this table had just left. Cheng Xiaoyu sat down and took out a paper towel, wiped the water stains on the table, and the waiter came over to order.

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't look carefully, he casually ordered a sirloin steak and a glass of ice orange lemon and began to play with his mobile phone, and the admission ticket was sandwiched on top of the composition book and placed in a transparent bag. Both Wang Ou and Xia Shamo texted him to ask how he did in the exam. He replied that he would only take the test in the afternoon, and he received a text message from them cheering him on.

Before the food was served, a manager in a small black suit came over and asked him if he minded sharing the table, saying that there were two girls who couldn't find a place to eat and wanted to share the table with him.

Cheng Xiaoyu has always believed that being convenient with others is convenient with himself, so he agreed, of course, if two men were looking for him to share a table, he would never agree so happily.

Cheng Xiaoyu buried his head in playing with his mobile phone, and waited for the two girls who came over to sit opposite him before he looked up slightly.

One of them is quite delicate and beautiful, with sharp eyes, and a sense of pride that can't be concealed on his face, wearing the school uniform of Gezhi Private School, and he is also holding a mobile phone in his hand to reply to text messages. The other one is wearing casual clothes, he looks average but is also good, Cheng Xiaoyu is more picky, he thinks that the one who has passed is a beauty in the eyes of ordinary people. As for the one wearing the school uniform, it should belong to the little cabbage, at least at the level of the class flower.

The two of them sat down, and they didn't express their gratitude to Cheng Xiaoyu who agreed to share the table, Cheng Xiaoyu didn't care, it was also a benefit to have beautiful women to watch by the way.

Cheng Xiaoyu is playing the piano APP "Perfect Piano" on the mobile phone, its interface completely simulates the real piano style, but in order to ensure the operation experience, the keys are not fully displayed, and the position will be automatically adjusted when playing, of course, he also supports the user to adjust the number of keys displayed by himself, so the difficulty will be a little higher.

Cheng Xiaoyu was wearing headphones, her fingers lightly tapped on the screen, but the girl opposite seemed to have discovered a new continent. The two girls are still using beautiful folding mobile phones, for smartphones that are not yet popular, obviously they have not seen it, and there are some games like Tetris and Snake on their mobile phones, such as piano games like Cheng Xiaoyu, they are still seeing it for the first time.

iphone3G is really much better than IPHONE1, with a curved white ceramic shell, and a beautiful large screen that attracts girls who usually like to buy some delicate small objects.

The long-looking little cabbage attached her ear to her companion's ear, and after muttering for a while, she heard the ordinary girl speak, "Hello, classmate." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu wore headphones and was engrossed in playing a game, and the song was Schumann's "Fantasia".

The girl saw that Cheng Xiaoyu didn't hear it, so she stretched out her hand and patted Cheng Xiaoyu.

Cheng Xiaoyu was a little surprised that she could be accosted, and looked at the two girls opposite with suspicious eyes. He took off his headphones and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

The average-looking girl said, "Classmate, your mobile phone is so beautiful, can you tell us where we bought it?"

Cheng Xiaoyu suddenly felt a little lost in her heart, it's a pity that such a beautiful girl can't be recognized, maybe it will be a school in the future. Although he had a small calculation in his heart, he still showed a simple smile on the surface and said, "This is called Apple IPHONE3G my friend gave it to me, and it is estimated that Dixintong can buy it in some large mobile phone stores." "Cheng Xiaoyu really doesn't like to pretend, so naturally he won't say anything like this mobile phone has just been launched, and a friend helped bring it from the United States.

The ordinary girl was obviously very lively and talkative, so she asked Cheng Xiaoyu curiously: "You were a piano game just now, right?

Cheng Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "It's not helpful, it's just fun to pass the boring time, sometimes it can be used to memorize melodies or something, and it's still okay to practice finger dexterity." ”

"Can you lend me to play?" the girl asked, her eyes wide open.

Cheng Xiaoyu pulled off the headphones and handed over the phone, the two girls saw such a fun mobile phone for the first time, and they couldn't put it down.

The little cabbage took her mobile phone and tried to play Cheng Xiaoyu and began to play "Fantasia", and the ordinary girl said, "My name is Zuo Yan, this is my friend Duanmu Linsha, we are all from Gezhi Private School." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu stood up and planned to shake hands with others, but when his hand was halfway out, he felt that it was too formal, and he embarrassedly put down his half-raised buttocks, retracted his outstretched hand, and naturally touched the back of his head and said, "My name is Cheng Xiaoyu, Fudan High School." ”

Little cabbage played with her mobile phone, "Huh." He said, "What a coincidence, you are also a piano performance major, right? You are the last one to take the exam today, and I have seen your name." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu felt that his name was very ordinary, and he didn't know why the little cabbage, that is, Duanmu Linsha, remembered it, so he asked, "You won't be in the same examination room with me, will you?"

Duanmu Linsha smiled and said, "Yes, I'm a little ahead of you." And your name is very familiar to me, I just don't remember where I saw it. After speaking, Duanmu Linsha frowned and recalled.

Cheng Xiaoyu was sweating profusely, and it was estimated that it was not a good thing to remember him, so he hurriedly said, "There are many people who call me by this name, and there are a few people in our school who call me by this name!"

Zuo Yan made up for Cheng Xiaoyu again, "I also think your name is familiar!" After thinking for a long time, she said in surprise, "Are you the fat man who fell on the stage at the New Year's Day art show!"

Cheng Xiaoyu could only smile bitterly and nodded, the secret way is better than the squishy boy who bumps into people, and said, "Did you also go to see it? I was teased by my friend at that time." ”

Duanmu Linsha returned the mobile phone to Cheng Xiaoyu and said, "No wonder I think your name is familiar and your face is familiar, and the video of your orchestra is also very popular on the Internet now." Duanmu Linsha's eyes had joy that could not be concealed, but her expression was still tense.

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said, "I don't know about this, I rarely surf the Internet, and I don't have much time to practice every day." ”

Zuo Yan snatched Cheng Xiaoyu's mobile phone and said, "That's not good, you have to leave a phone, let me tell you, don't look at Sashayun's light and breezy appearance, in fact, she likes your orchestra very much, she just watches your videos every day, and after listening to your "Dragon Gate Inn", she also said that she wants to learn guitar. Oh, don't talk about her, a lot of my classmates like your lead singer. Why, isn't she admitted to the play?" After Zuo Yan finished speaking, Duanmu Linsha was flushed with a flush on her face, a little shy.

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't pay attention to it so much, thinking that Xia Shamo had made up her mind to be admitted to the music department of the opera, but her mother firmly opposed her learning music, and said her misfortune in tears. The filial Xia Shamo has never disobeyed her mother, but when she saw her mother so insistent, her heart was shaken. She was entangled in asking Cheng Xiaoyu what to do, Cheng Xiaoyu told her that as long as she wanted to sing and liked to sing, she could be in that school, and he could teach her professional knowledge.

Cheng Xiaoyu got rid of Xia Shamo in her mind, and said with a smile, "She wants to take the Fudan exam, but don't worry, our orchestra will not be disbanded." ”

Zuo Yan saved her number to Xiaoyu's mobile phone and said, "Haha, you must notify me next time you have a performance! Your New Year's Day performance is still echoing in my mind!"

Cheng Xiaoyu should say, "Okay." ”

At this time, a male voice next to him came over, "Lin Sha, I've been looking for you for a long time, and you won't reply to your text messages, and you won't answer your calls." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu raised his head, and a very upright young man who looked like a fan liked by middle-aged and elderly people, but with a very arrogant look between his eyebrows, stood next to their table.

The young man looked at Duanmu Linsha with unscrupulous eyes, but Duanmu Linsha was expressionless.
