After successfully passing the first round of the primary selection, Miss Mary originally planned to take Via and Dick to meet Mr. Howard, but of course Via and Dick couldn't ask for it, hoping to get some professional guidance from Mr. Howard. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but in the telegram Miss Mary was rejected by Mr. Howard.
Mr. Howard said that he could not meet any of the contestants privately until the game was over, otherwise it would be unfair, and he would not even say goodbye to Mr. Mary. The temperament and principled posture made Teacher Mary cry and laugh.
The second round of the primary election is scheduled for 10 days later.
Via was going to sing a new song, which she wrote the day after her birthday, the day she gave her first kiss to Theo, and the song was also called "First Kiss".
Dick didn't know the piece, he needed to practice and get familiar with the melody as soon as possible. The two of them sang and played the guitar again, and they definitely couldn't disturb the people in the small hotel, and at this time, Teacher Mary's powerful circle of friends came into play again.
One of Marie's university classmates teaches piano at the Zurich Conservatory, and she borrowed a piano classroom through this level.
At this time, it was the enrollment season of the Zurich Conservatory, and there were a lot of students in Xiào, and each of them carried a variety of musical instruments on their shoulders, accompanied by parents and friends who came to accompany the exam. The pressure on these students is not much less than that of young people who aspire to make a name for themselves in the competition, and the intense competition is everywhere.
Walking among her peers, the plain-faced and unpretentious Veya is not remarkable, although she is now initially famous. But the arrogant musicians and talented women don't have the heart to care about inconsequential passers-by.
The piano department has five floors, the first and second floors are a small auditorium with a stage and seats, which can accommodate two hundred spectators at a time, and this small auditorium is now used for exams for candidates, while Via and Dick practice in an infrequently used classroom on the fifth floor. They come here every day when the candidates line up downstairs.
It lasted like this for a week, they didn't meet anyone, let alone encounter any problems, they practiced the new song peacefully, and Teacher Mary would guide them by the side, and from time to time put forward some suggestions of their own.
On the eighth day, the three of them came to the conservatory as usual, and before they entered the teaching building, a woman called Teacher Mary in the back.
"Mary, Mary."
Wei Ya followed the voice and looked back at a lady who was dressed intellectually and elegantly, she was very slender, wearing black stiletto heels and a long gray dress, and her long hair was neatly coiled behind her head, looking at them slightly.
Teacher Mary stepped forward with a smile and hugged her, "Honey, you are a busy person, it is really difficult to meet you." ”
The lady also hugged Teacher Mary, "Today is the third round of interview selection, I have to come over early to prepare." ”
Teacher Mary said to Via and Dick, "I'm here to introduce you to Shiào, she's my college classmate, Catherine, and an associate professor in the piano department here," she said to Catherine, "I told you, Via is my student, and Dick is her brother." ”
Catherine bowed slightly to the two young people, "I've seen all of your performance videos, it's very good, they are all talented children." ”
Being praised by the associate professor, Via and Dick were of course very happy, and repeatedly said, "Thank you,"
Catherine is very busy, the piano department has always had the largest number of applicants for admission, the competition is very fierce, and Catherine is the main judge, and she basically hasn't slept before one o'clock in the morning these days. If it weren't for her former friendship, Catherine wouldn't have wasted her time helping Teacher Mary borrow a classroom.
Viagra heard Catherine complain to Teacher Mary, "The overall level of candidates this year is low, to be honest, none of them satisfy me, and now the last round of selection, that is, the shorty general, will be fine." ”
Wei Ya remembered that Vanessa was just going to apply for the piano department, and I don't know if she was shortlisted for the third round of exams.
Teacher Mary asked Catherine, "What's the third round?" ”
"I don't want to waste any more time on the selected track, Liszt's "Spring Water", the sooner it is selected, the better it will end this difficult freshman selection."
"Spring Water" is short, only more than four minutes, but from the beginning to the end there is no place that is not difficult, requiring the performer's superb piano skills, which can indeed test the candidate's ability in a short time.
"In the past two years, few freshmen have been able to play "Spring Water" well, and that's it, the problem is that some students are about to graduate, and the sound that pops up is still terrible."
Catherine continued to complain, but Teacher Mary glanced at Via,
"I knew there was a kid who would be able to pop up, and she played so smoothly that she couldn't make a mistake."
Catherine immediately asked, "Who?" Is it this year's candidate? ”
Teacher Mary pointed at Via.
Via was confused, not understanding why the two ladies were suddenly staring at her.
"Why don't you let her come to us to learn xiào and sign up?" Catherine asked, frowning.
Mary said helplessly, "That guy Howard asked me to have dinner a few times in Paris, half-coercing and half-luring me to take Via to the competition, you also know his personality, don't stop until you achieve your goal, I'm also afraid of him." ”
Mary, Catherine and Howard were all students at the National Conservatory of Music in Paris, Howard was a great talent in the vocal music department, and Mary and Catherine were both top-notch talented girls in the piano department. However, Catherine was confident in Mary's ability to appreciate her, and Mary said that if the girl played well, then she must be excellent.
Catherine immediately decided to let Via play the song "Spring Water" live.
Both Via and Dick were confused by them.
Didn't they come here to practice the new songs of the second round? Why did you suddenly become playing the piano? It's going to be a game the day after tomorrow.
Anyway, Viya sat down in front of a piano.
The two ladies and Dick sat in the audience at the bottom of the stage, and it was early in the morning, and there was no one else.
Teacher Mary said to Via, "Don't be nervous, just use this as a music classroom at Roy Middle School, where you're just practicing, not exams." ”
Via nodded.
She really didn't feel nervous, and she didn't come here to get into the conservatory.
The score for "Spring Water" was placed on the piano, and this piece was once one of the etudes her mother had assigned to her, and under strict instruction, she was able to play the whole piece without any obstacles at the age of twelve.
After a quick glance at the score, Via put her fingers on the keys. After a short prelude, there is a cheerful and enthusiastic main song, the fingers beat lightly on the keys, the difficult music becomes lively and interesting under her hands, and the corner of the girl's mouth hangs a slight xiào, as if she is just playing a children's song, but this dazzling piano playing technique is really amazing.
Dick was completely shocked, it was not the first time he had seen Via play the piano, but compared to the last time she played and sang casually at the New Year's Gala, at this moment, on the elegant stage of the music school, Via had the courage to belong to a musician beyond her life experience.
The candidates arrived one after another, and the amazing sound of the piano was heard in the corridor outside.
"Who's playing the piano so early? We haven't drawn numbers yet," one candidate asked, confused.
"It must be a teacher, this kind of skill can only be played by a teacher."
There was a lot of talk.
Vanessa glanced at them, "Wouldn't you know if you went in and had a look?" ”
"The exam hasn't started yet, so it's not easy for us to get in."
"What's so scary, coward."
Vanessa sneered and walked into the auditorium without hesitation, and the others followed her into the hall as well.
At this time, Via's playing was also over, and she got up from her chair, and the students who heard the sound saw a strange girl standing on the stage, who looked about the same age as them, but had not seen them in the previous two rounds of exams.
Only Vanessa's eyes widened in disbelief, as if she had seen a ghost.
The two ladies were still savoring Via's playing, and Catherine murmured,
"I have been teaching piano at this school for thirteen years, and I have participated in the selection of new students every year, but I have never met such a child, is it my bad luck?"
Teacher Mary sighed, "Although she was my student, I didn't teach her anything at all, and I had to let her practice in the classroom by herself because I felt that I didn't have anything to teach her, and probably my level was forever shackled at the moment I dropped out." ”
"No, no, she's a genius, a genius that you can't find," Catherine grabbed Mary's shoulder excitedly, "You've discovered a genius." Howard said this to Mary as well.
And the other candidates also discussed, all asking about the girl's identity, and suddenly such a powerful competitor appeared, and everyone was very uneasy.
Via walked over to the stage and said to Dick, "I think it's time for us to go to practice." ”
Dick looked at her with a complicated look, got up, picked up the guitar in his chair, "Let's go." ”
Teacher Mary also stood up when she saw this.
"Wait," Catherine called to Via, "would you like to apply for our school?" ”
When the words fell, the students in the back were in an uproar.
Is there something wrong with their ears? How could they hear Professor Catherine pleading with the girl in her sincere voice? These days, Professor Catherine's sternness, they have all seen it.
It turns out that this kind of severity varies from person to person.
What shocked them even more was Catherine's next words,
"In addition to the first year in Zurich, the last three years you can go to Paris to receive the best quality piano education, we offer a full scholarship, the competition ends in August, we study xiào at the end of August, there is no conflict between coming to study with us and participating."
Catherine really cherishes her talents, and she doesn't want to let go of a genius like Veya.
However, she didn't think about how the other candidates would feel when they heard her words.
yes
Is this girl with superb piano skills still a contestant?
This is clearly to shatter their self-esteem.
One of the most uncomfortable is Vanessa, she is jealous and sad, her eyes are red, this week, she passed five levels and six generals, and finally reached the third round, and she is about to be admitted.
This damn village girl didn't know where to get in, she just played a random tune, and the professor was impressed, and she tried her best to invite her, why, why did she? Didn't she go to participate? Why do you run to the conservatory, why do you always have to destroy yourself, it's as disgusting as a stumbling block.
Teacher Mary saw that there were more and more candidates, so she said to Catherine, "You give Viata a little time to take the test, after all, her mind is all about it now." ”
Catherine looked at Via and smiled, "It's okay, I can wait." ”
