Because the future is at stake, almost no one is perfunctory, and everyone exerts 120 percent of their strength to make a final effort.

The first boy to take the stage, the second played Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 11. There is also a good way to play.

After the performance was completed, not only the examiner nodded frequently, but the audience also gave warm applause without hesitation.

Seven examiners showed their scores, removing a maximum score of 85 and a minimum score of 82, and the first candidate finally received a good score of 83.5 points.

Student President Hu Bing announced the scores on the stage, and introduced seven examiners in turn, including Vice President Liu Ya, Dean of the Conservatory of Music Jin Guoheng, Vice Dean of the Conservatory of Music Hu Fangfei, Dean of the Piano Department Li Yunling, Deputy Director of the Piano Department Kong Jianjun, Professor of the Piano Department Liu Sisi, and Professor of the Piano Department Duan Renjie.

Every introduction is followed by solemn applause, as an examiner, this lineup is really luxurious, and it can be said that it is more than wrong to be a judge of a national piano competition.

The second candidate came up to Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata in the third movement, and when it came to the second test, it seemed that all of them had shown their housekeeping skills and played very difficult pieces.

Maybe it's because the atmosphere of the concert hall is too good, maybe the piano at Steinway & Sons is too good, maybe it's because the atmosphere of the theater is too good, and almost all the students who take the stage exam show that they have a superb standard.

He Mingzhe found a suitable position to watch the exam go on slowly, and seeing that these candidates seemed to be hanging on the same table, He Mingzhe secretly smiled, the more this way, the more it can reflect Cheng Xiaoyu's low level.

He Mingzhe searched for Cheng Xiaoyu's shadow in the two rows of candidates, but found no trace of Cheng Xiaoyu. This made him a little disappointed, and he was a little worried about whether Cheng Xiaoyu was scared away.

But he felt that as long as Duanmu Linsha could see the true face of this fat man clearly, it didn't matter what happened.

Duanmu Linsha sat in the audience and sent a text message to Cheng Xiaoyu, telling him to hurry up, she was the next one to come on stage, and there were not many people left behind her, almost everyone thought that Cheng Xiaoyu would definitely not come, only Duanmu Linsha firmly believed that Cheng Xiaoyu would definitely appear.

Duanmu Linsha stood behind the side curtain of the concert hall, she was a little nervous for the first time because of the exam, and she had also participated in some commercial piano competitions, but she had never been so nervous.

But she didn't participate in many professional competitions, because Su Yuxi is an insurmountable mountain in front of all piano teenagers, any competition in which Su Yuxi participates, if divided into age groups, Su Yuxi is undoubtedly the first, which greatly reduces the number of Duanmu Linsha participating in the competition, and the competition that already knows the results makes Duanmu Linsha feel bored.

And for her, the meaning of the piano is not just a competition, she loves the piano and likes to indulge in those various timbre symbols. The piano is a part of her life.

Waiting for the scores of the previous examinee to come out, after the applause, Duanmu Linsha caressed her heart, took a deep breath, and under the dazzling light of the scorching matrix lamp, Duanmu Linsha took off her dark blue blazer, put on a white shirt and a blue pleated skirt, and walked to the center of the concert hall.

Today she painted a little light makeup, but not for the exam, but for someone. This kind of Duanmu Linsha looks even more crystal clear in the highlights, especially the slender long legs are too beautiful, the snow-white and round calves are slender and thin, and the walking posture is also very rhythmic, and it is not pretentious, and it looks so natural. The hair is tucked behind the ears, revealing a fair and slender neck, and the impeccable side face makes everyone in the audience breathless, this beauty is unimaginable.

Such a superb cabbage came to the stage, and the animals in the audience immediately burst into thunderous applause, if it weren't for the stricter concert hall, there were so many school leaders in the audience, it is estimated that a group of dissatisfied people would have howled a long time ago.

Duanmu Linsha first held the piano and bowed, and then announced the second movement of Schubert's piano sonata No. 21 D960 in B-flat major.

When I heard the name of the piano piece, the audience was in an uproar.

This sonata, in B flat major, D960, was composed in 1828 and is considered by music critics to be the most perfect sonata since Beethoven and the crown of Schubert's piano pieces.

The difficulty can be imagined. Most of the candidates chose the well-known Beethoven, and a very few chose Mozart, which was the first time that Schubert appeared, and it was a beautiful woman who chose to play it, and this piece was still the final chapter of Schubert.

Duanmu Linsha's teacher Li Yunling also sat in the audience, she was still very confident in her as a student, although she was not as talented as Su Yuxi, but she was also a master's seedling.

Duanmu Linsha adjusted the seat first, and the moment her hand touched the keys, all the tension dissipated, only excitement and excitement.

The examiners in the audience also knew that this was Li Yunling's beloved apprentice, but in front of the public examination, no one would show mercy, and they could only see the truth under their hands.

When the timbre of Duanmu Linsha's first note floated out, this beautiful treatment made all the examiners' eyes shine, and as soon as the expert made a move, there was only nothing.

Listening to it, Duanmu Linsha has a deep understanding of this song, Li Yunling naturally knows how hard she works as an apprentice, five hours a day is just a daily routine, other girls are chasing dramas, and she is practicing. The other girls were reading novels, and she was practicing. Other girls are in love, and she's practicing. The other girls were shopping, she was only practicing.

Duanmulinsha's Schubert followed Brendel's understanding.

Andante, C sharp minor, three-segment. The first section introduces the theme with a light melody played in soft pedals, the middle section in A major, reflecting the emotional ups and downs, rises to C sharp minor, and the third section repeats itself with a C-sharp major outro.

Every paragraph is handled appropriately, every note, every speed change is the result of careful consideration, Duanmu Linsha is by no means like a high school student in terms of technical solidity and sensitivity to touch the keys, and the exploration of the depth of the work, the grasp of emotions is far beyond it. The feelings expressed are broad, intoxicated, and sublimated.

Schubert's piano sonatas have more improvisational elements than Beethoven's, and are sometimes a little trivial.

But Duanmu Linsha did achieve the greatest freedom under the strictest control and the most careful thinking.

Of course, for a great work, there can't be only one correct way to play it.

But she was able to use her beautiful melody to take all the listeners to a mysterious world that belonged to Schubert. All of them had a strong psychological resonance, and there was a strong tragic beauty that brought tears to people's eyes.

After the end of the song, the applause was thunderous, of course, her playing was remarkable in terms of emotional expression, but in terms of skills, because of her small hands, she naturally had some regrets.

But for a girl who has not yet reached the age of seventeen, except for those demonic geniuses, such a performance has already satisfied the examiners, not to mention that this is still a girl with good looks and temperament. There's really nothing to fault with.

All the examiners gave a very high score of 90, and some even scored 92.

Only Li Yunling only gave 85 points. In her opinion, this apprentice of hers still has a lot of room for improvement, and she can't score too high, making her proud and complacent.

Because the repertoire selected by Duanmu Linsha is longer, about 15 minutes, so two songs are counted.

Duanmu Linsha saw that the score was good, it was the highest score so far, and she didn't care much, and when she bowed, she found that Cheng Xiaoyu hadn't come yet, but she was a little anxious.

hurriedly got off the stage, planning to call Cheng Xiaoyu, there were only four people behind her for the exam, and Cheng Xiaoyu was the fourth and last finale.

When Duanmu Linsha and Cheng Xiaoyu called, Cheng Xiaoyu was still in the copy shop, he answered the phone and said, "Come over immediately." ”

Several professional music score stores did not sell the score of this song, which made Cheng Xiaoyu delay a lot of time in searching.

Indeed, it can be said that almost no one will practice this piece. In desperation, Cheng Xiaoyu could only go to the copy shop to download it online and print it out.

Print shops also often help people copy scores from the Internet and print them out. But the score downloaded by Cheng Xiaoyu made the clerk look stupid, and couldn't help but ask Cheng Xiaoyu, "Are you sure this is a score." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu looked at the clerk with dull eyes, nodded and said, "Of course it is." ”

The clerk also knew a little about the rhythm, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt incredible, and shook his head and said, "It's impossible to play such a tune! This must be someone joking with you and passing on the score." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Who said that no one can play, I can." ”

The clerk seemed to have heard a nice joke, shook his head and didn't make a sound, after all, Cheng Xiaoyu was a guest, and he couldn't be offended.

When the penultimate candidate came to the stage, Cheng Xiaoyu was still rushing towards the concert hall at the entrance of the play, and at this time he only hated himself for not being as light as a swallow.

As soon as the candidate in front of Cheng Xiaoyu came to the stage, many people exclaimed, this is a candidate from Chongqing City, named Wu Di.

Many people have seen him in magazines, known as the piano prodigy of China, and together with Su Yuxi, he is known as the golden boy and girl of the piano world.
