Chapter 111: Piano Assessment

Yu Qiuqiu looked at each other for a short time, and a sad emotion suddenly and inexplicably rose from the bottom of Chen Chufan's heart, followed by his hands, he involuntarily danced on the piano, one by one impassioned notes burst out from his fingertips, he even felt that he was completely divided into two people, one was a musician who was playing passionately in front of the piano, and the other was closing his eyes and listening to the sound of the piano he played.

It's weird, but there's more to it than that.

He even felt that it was Chopin himself who was playing the piece, and that he was just a listener. From the sound of the rousing music, he seemed to see the blood and flags on the barricades, the heads hanging by the lamps, the last brave men who fought in the corners, and after the last row of gunfire, everything fell silent, and the seven-foot body still stands. The sorrow of the country's destruction and family destruction was transformed into endless anger and unwillingness, which was vented from the sound of the piano.

The left hand danced the syllables of disappointment and anger, and the right hand blew the horn of counterattack. Strong emotions rush to my heart like a tidal wave, and then turn into anger and unwillingness, rising up and heroic, tragic and courageous.

If the performers are still like this, the audience will be even more unbearable. Everyone involuntarily closed their eyes, regardless of whether they had experienced that period of history or not, but in the sound of the piano, they clearly returned to that war-torn era. The souls who bravely sacrificed their nobility for the sake of freedom and dignity seemed to come alive in the score, pouring out their anger and unwillingness to sacrifice to the people immersed in the music, and they were brave and fearless!

Everyone is immersed in the emotions given by the sound of the piano, but no one notices the virtuoso technique. Therefore, no one noticed that this Chopin's "Etude in C minor", due to the requirements of the technical surname, there was a certain soft element that existed, but it was directly rejected by the musicians, and the whole piece was actually exploding from beginning to end

At the end of the song, the whole rehearsal hall was eerily quiet. No one made any sound. The audience was still immersed in the strong emotions of the music and couldn't extricate themselves. And Chen Chufan looked at the ball he was lying on his lap with a surprised face, and the little guy was looking up at Chen Chufan with his head up, grinning at the corners of his mouth, revealing his two small baby teeth, looking proud.

This guy doesn't just seem to have affected the mood of the audience, it seems that even his own emotions have been affected, and Chen Chufan can't even tell who played this song. Many times he couldn't even control his fingers, and when he was about to press the keys according to the requirements of the score, he found that the force and effect of the fall were not at all what he wanted. It's like someone is controlling their own playing.

Obviously, this is all the devil who is lying on his body. He couldn't tell if the changes were good or bad. Will it affect his entrance examination? Because the audience in the audience has not responded at all for a full minute, and it can only be seen from their closed but still trembling eyes that they are not asleep.

Well, now is definitely not the time to communicate with his Po Qiuqiu, Chen Chufan retracted his surprised gaze at Qiuqiu. He pretended to look at the professors in the audience calmly, and then coughed lightly.

The first to wake up was Professor Glick, who was sitting at the farthest point, because he was the last to arrive, he didn't get the front seat, so he sat in the back seat. The first thing Professor Glick did after waking up from the emotions contained in the music was to applaud vigorously.

He couldn't remember how long it had been since he applauded a student's performance. But this time he willingly applauded the student from China. Because he was so moved by the Chinese student's performance, he even arbitrarily believed that just by performing this piece as a teenager, he was absolutely qualified to enter the Julie School of Music. Because he saw the shadow of art in the performance of the youth.

The reason why Julie School has set up pre-admission examinations is to find students who are truly artistically talented. Therefore, professors pay more attention to students' musical talent and development prospects, as well as their determination to dedicate themselves to the arts. Chopin's "Revolution" The musical talent of the teenager has been perfectly displayed in front of him, a talent that cannot be expressed in words, because the playing of the teenager has a magical magic that can shake people's hearts.

Of course, he didn't know that it was not only the boy's song that shook people's hearts, but also the ball that was lying on the boy's lap. Otherwise, perhaps such an arbitrary judgment would not have been made. But it's clear that the truth is too sci-fi for anyone to believe.

With Professor Glick's applause, the professors in the rehearsal room finally recovered from the teenager's performance. So in the rehearsal room of more than 20 people, there was warm applause. Each professor was moved by the performance of the teenager in front of them, so of course they did not skimp on their applause for the other students to the extreme.

Signaling to the little guy, Qiuqiu climbed down Chen Chufan's thigh very sensibly, so the young man stood up politely, bowed slightly to all the professors in the audience, and Chen Chufan sat back in front of the piano again. "The next etude, I still choose Chopin's etude "Etude in C sharp minor"" After saying softly, Chen Chufan unconsciously glanced down at the ball that had climbed to his lap again, and then began to play.

Although this piece is not as emotional as the "Etude in C minor", the role of the ball is much less. But under the tutelage of Professor Wang of the North China Minmin University, Chen Chufan has practiced this piece very proficiently. Whether it is a complicated right hand or a very large jumping left hand, the boy has a good grasp of it. There may be some unique piano skills, in the professional eyes of everyone in the audience, Chen Chufan's interpretation is not perfect, but this does not prevent the professors of the music department who have just been shocked from still having high expectations for Chen Chufan.

After the last note of applause dissipated, it sounded again. Although it was not as enthusiastic as just now, it represented the recognition of Chen Chufan by everyone present.

Immediately after that, there will be no suspense. With Qiuqiu, a super cheat, Chen Chufan deliberately chose a song with a strong sense of color in the subsequent performance. After Chen Chufan's interpretation of Beethoven's "Pathétique" and Bach's "Goldberg Variations", Ms. Caplingfin, the director of the piano department, did not even consult other piano professors, and directly announced that Chen Chufan had passed the professional examination and became a student of the glorious Julie School of Music, the music department, and the piano department. Even the playing of the last designated piece was omitted, and no one objected, as if everyone had collectively ignored the normal assessment process.

It's not that Chen Chufan's piano skills have conquered everyone here, in fact, the handling of many details of Chen Chufan's piano playing is still a little green in the eyes of experienced professors, but the feelings contained in Chen Chufan's playing have really conquered them. Although they didn't know why they felt such a strong emotional fluctuation after hearing the student play, it didn't stop them from attributing it to the student's talent. It doesn't make sense, but it's the only one that can be explained.

People who love art are often not so rational and do not get entangled in everything with a scientific truth, which is a kind of luck for Chen Chufan.

It's a pity that there is not a single student here, otherwise anyone who knows that when the piano department enters the school assessment, someone is so strong that he can completely conquer all the professional teachers of the piano department who participated in the assessment before playing the specified repertoire, and his eyes will definitely fall to the ground.

Being able to successfully pass the assessment and enter the Julie School itself represents the strength of the students. So Julie has never been short of geniuses, but no genius can be so bewitching.

You must know that every professor here is not an idle person, especially Kaplinfin, as the head of the piano department of the Julie School, I don't know how many super great pianists she has seen in her life, and basically her students have never received her praise, let alone applauded her students' playing.

In short, an ordinary assessment of a Chinese student in a rehearsal hall in the music department today is an event that can be recorded in Julie's musical history. Many of the Julie School for the first time took place here.

Maybe a legendary person, no matter where he is, will have his legendary life. And Chen Chufan's legend at Julie School began with this assessment.
