Chapter 18: Perfect Performance
Mach picked up the piano sheet in his hand and glanced at it, and said in surprise: "Oh, God, smart Oriental boy, your eyes are so sharp, my God, you can actually see the piano sheet in my hand at a glance from such a distance?" ”
Wang Zixuan said with a smile: "First of all, let me introduce myself, my name is Robert Wang, from China, the ancient country of the East, this time I came to the UK to learn a higher level of music knowledge, I always thought that the UK is one of the largest music countries in the world, and the music academy here will accept children from all over the world with music dreams."
Then, I want to say that I didn't see the title of the piano score just now, but I guessed its source from a five-line treble clef in the middle. ”
Maher touched his bald head, his old face couldn't help but blush, and he said ashamedly: "OK, I admit that I am shirking, but, you are right, music knows no borders, Chesam accepts all children with musical talent to enroll, now I have changed my mind, I will personally gather people to test you, if you have a special performance, I think I will personally give you the school badge of Chesam, of course, if you are mediocre, I think you should go home and study for another two years, after two years, you can still come to Chesam......"
Richard glanced at Wang Zixuan appreciatively, opportunities do not fall from the sky, but create themselves, the British have always liked children with momentum, not afraid that you have talent, afraid that you have talent but dare not show up, Wang Zixuan is different from ordinary Chinese, he dares to stand up loudly to state his opinion, conquer all those who question him, and like yesterday on the bus to fight back at those people, he conquered Mach again.
"Richard, take our little Robert to the Ensemble Auditorium, and I'll get everyone together to test him, and I think the amazing Oriental Kid will blow us up." Maher said with a smile, picking up the phone on the table and pulling out the number.
Richard patted Wang Zixuan's arm and said, "Okay, little Robert, come with me." ”
Wang Zixuan followed Richard out of the principal's office, all the way on foot, the road is lined with old buildings, it is said that the oldest building of Chesham dates back to the beginning of the 15th century, it is really an immortal existence after centuries, here, you can feel the ancient Western European civilization, the simple but not decaying building has become more rich in the residence of generations of music students, she is beautiful, she is graceful, she is an ageless elf.
When Wang Zixuan entered the ensemble auditorium, he found that the space here was so large that it could withstand a large ensemble performance, and at the same time it could provide more than a thousand people to enjoy and watch, for a moment, he was a little confused, it was just a test, is it necessary to use such a large space, a small music room is fine, what is the situation, he couldn't help but look at Richard.
"Oh, little Robert, that old guy Mach is not a good bird, you humiliated him, although he can't take revenge on you openly, but he can give you a 'bigger stage' to test your talents, if you have real skills, he can say that he is helping you promote fame, if you don't have real talents, he will watch your jokes with the whole school teachers and students." Richard said helplessly, now it is impossible for Wang Zixuan to quit.
Wang Zixuan touched his mouth, and couldn't help sneering, hum, come on, come on, I will let you see the results of my three years of hard work to study music, arrogant British, from today onwards, I will conquer you, I came to Sam just to learn more in-depth knowledge of music theory, but there is one thing you have to figure out, I am not a music idiot who doesn't understand anything, Li Bifu is not an ordinary musician, his music can definitely be called a master, but there are only one or two places he is good at, He couldn't teach Wang Zixuan in other places, so he introduced him to Chesam School.
Soon, Mach led the elite teachers and students of the whole school into the ensemble auditorium with a smile on his face, and the students took their seats under the stage in the auditorium, and the teachers took the stage together.
Ma He looked at Wang Zixuan, who was standing in the center of the stage, and said with a smile: "Little Robert, are you ready?" I've gathered all the wonderful teachers and students at Chesham Music School, and you can show your talents to perfection, and this stage is definitely perfect for you. ”
Wang Zixuan said without any timidity: "Okay, I'm ready to test." ”
Maher nodded, and said to all the students sitting under the stage: "Children, today we Chesam has an Oriental musical genius, he wants to be one of our Chesam students, so I want to test his musical skills, in order to show respect for foreign students, I have gathered everyone here, just to let everyone see how talented this little Robert from the East is, you have to reflect on it, can you catch up with him?" ”
"The first test, aural training, I will play a piano piece on the piano, after the piano is over, you can repeat it, and explain its source, you only need to complete one of the two aspects, if both requirements are met perfectly, then I personally welcome you to join Chesam." At this moment, a handsome middle-aged man with long red hair stepped out of the mentor column and sat down in front of a grand piano.
Wang Zixuan nodded, stretched out his hand and made an OK gesture, signaling that it was okay to start, and then closed his eyes and listened carefully.
The middle-aged man nodded, put on white gloves, and gently pressed the piano keys to start playing......
When the piano piece stopped, Wang Zixuan was still in deep thought, although the whole piano piece except for a small section in the variation could not be remembered, he had already memorized the rest, but this was not important, he didn't even hear where the piano piece came from, some like the style of the sonata composed by the Austrian musician Mozart, very bright and optimistic, but which sonata is it from?
The red-haired man saw that Wang Zixuan's deep thinking was not done on purpose, so he didn't interrupt his deep thinking, many people didn't pay attention to the piece he played, even many students under the stage didn't know it very well, I hope this oriental kid has a good performance.
After stopping for about three or five minutes, Wang Zixuan finally opened his eyes and said with a smile: "This tutor, can you perform a recital?" ”
"Okay, you can perform, as long as all the pieces can be more than 80% correct, I will recognize your ......" said the red-haired man, got up from his chair, gave up his seat for Wang Zixuan, and let him start playing.
Wang Zixuan sat on the chair, took a deep breath, and then pressed a pair of small hands on the piano keys, and played gently, and one by one the moving and beautiful notes reached everyone's ears with his playing.
All the teachers were shocked the moment Wang Zixuan played, the perfect start, without a trace of sluggish playing, and the rich feelings into it, with his playing, the students in the ensemble hall closed their eyes one by one and listened, at first they were still suspicious of this kid from the East, now hearing his playing, they feel that this Oriental kid really has real talent and learning.
"Knock ......" When the last key fell, Wang Zixuan slowly sat down from the piano and bowed to all the teachers and students gentlemanly.
"Smack...... Smack......"
Everyone unanimously applauded their palms to express their satisfaction, and this oriental boy conquered them with his strength.
"Only a small mistake in one bar in the variation phase, the rest of the game is perfect, and it's a really good performance." The red-haired man said with satisfaction, took out a white handkerchief from the pocket of his chest suit and handed it to Wang Zixuan, motioning him to wipe the sweat from his forehead, indicating that he accepted him, vreygood!
Wang Zixuan took the white handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his face, his nine-year-old body played the piano for such a long time, it was really unbearable, but fortunately, he persevered.
"I think I know the origin of this piece, it should be the first movement of the eleventh three-movement of Mozart's Piano Sonata in A major, and it was only after it was played that it was really determined, right, Mentor?" Wang Zixuan handed the white handkerchief to the red-haired man and said.
The red-haired man took the handkerchief and said in surprise and excitement: "Oh God, Chesam has come to an oriental genius, if, I mean if the academy doesn't accept you, I can take you as a disciple privately, my name is Lawrence Leon Stark, I'm sure that as long as you accept my guidance, you will definitely become the next Mozart!" ”
At this time, an old man among the tutors quickly walked up to Wang Zixuan, held Wang Zixuan's little hand excitedly and said: "I can also take you as a disciple privately, my name is Noldod Alexander, I am also good at piano, I have been learning and studying piano music all my life, you must learn from me, Lawrence is good at Mozart's style, but I can teach you to learn various styles, and then create your own style, you will become a generation of masters in piano history, learn from me......"
Lawrence was reluctant at this time, and knocked off Noldod's hand and said: "Oh, God, old Nuo, you can't rob people, he has the right to choose freely......"
Noldod said angrily: "No, I'm dying, I can't watch my knowledge be broken, I need him to inherit my knowledge......"
"Oh, Lao Nuo, you lie to the devil, your old bones can live for twenty years, but I can't give such an excellent disciple to others, I also want to have a world-famous piano master disciple in my old age, when people talk about him, they will say that he has a teacher named Lawrence...... Lawrence is also anxious......
……
Wang Zixuan watched the two of them arguing helplessly in front of him, and now it seems that he can't leave if he wants to, isn't he acting too genius?
Maher had to stand up at this time and said: "Stop, God, you two need to be quiet, you need to be like a mentor, there are so many students watching under the stage, and he still needs to test a few items, you can step down, and when he joins Chesam, you go and grab people, then I can't care." ”
Ma He finally accepted the existence of Wang Zixuan at this time, no matter what else, in terms of piano, he can already be said to be a genius, the important thing is that he is only nine years old now, nine years old, when he is twenty years old, what kind of extent? Oh my God, there really has been a genius in the land of the East who has been favored by God.
