Chapter 249: Rigorous Intramural Testing
In the No. 4 staircase classroom on the second floor of the main teaching building attached to the middle school, students entered one after another, some with scores in their hands, some empty-handed, but most of them had a trace of nervousness on their faces.
The three days have passed in a flash, and today is the day when the high school will test the new students. In the past few days, the freshmen have heard of the strictness of the re-examination, although they are not ordinary people who can enter here, but after all, this is a concentration of geniuses, thinking of the five percent elimination rate, everyone feels that there is a knife hanging over their heads. It's hard to get here, and it will be a very shameful thing if it is brushed back again.
Liu Yufan didn't arrive early, and when he came in, there were already more than a dozen people waiting in their positions one after another. glanced at the audience, most of them didn't know each other, only a few classmates who received the keys to the piano room with him a few days ago, and they were still a little impressed.
In the past few days, these freshmen have been practicing very hard, and they basically can't see anyone except for eating and sleeping time at night. After all, no one wants to be that five.
"Morning!" Liu Yufan saw Chen Zheng in the class sitting in the front row, so he naturally sat down next to him.
"Well, morning!" Chen Zheng nodded at him, but he didn't have a particularly enthusiastic expression. This made Liu Yufan feel a little unaccustomed.
After a few days of school life, Liu Yufan gradually gained some understanding of the learning environment of the high school. Although on the surface, the attached middle school looks similar to other middle schools, but in fact, there are many differences when you experience it carefully. For example, in terms of the feelings of his classmates, Liu Yufan felt that it was much weaker than when he was in Fu'an or when he was in the normal school in his previous life. Everyone is usually busy with their majors and doesn't communicate much, which makes Liu Yufan a little unaccustomed.
Just like now, the one sitting next to Liu Yufan is not only the two of them in the same class, but also in the same department, but when they meet, they just nod and say hello to each other, and they rarely even joke, Liu Yufan even read something called vigilance from the other party's eyes. That's because I'm afraid that the other party will overtake his eyes, Liu Yufan can see it.
"Could it be that all these students have such personalities? Or will I be like this in the future? Thinking about this question, Liu Yufan couldn't accept it.
In front of the lecture hall, there is a large triangle of Yamaha. The teaching conditions of the attached high school are absolutely top-notch, and there is no ambiguity anywhere on the hardware. Take the piano on the stage at this moment, if it is placed in other places, it can be directly moved to the theater as a stage piano, but here, it is just a teaching piano in the classroom - the conditions of the attached middle school are good, which can be seen.
A few teachers walked in from the door, and judging from the notebooks they were holding, everyone guessed their identities, and suddenly, the voices of the audience were much quieter.
Ling Yuan took the lead, and behind her were Zhao Pingguo and Wang Zhenxian, two teachers, all three of whom were teachers of the piano department of the High School Attached to the High School, and also teachers with high qualifications and prestige.
Ling Yuan sat on the leftmost chair, picked up the microphone on the table, and began to speak as usual.
"Students, today is your first in-school test in the attached middle school, and I, Teacher Zhao, and Teacher Wang serve as the judges of this test, and the order number of the appearance has been sent to everyone before, and everyone will play in order for a while, and those who do not will be treated according to the abstention......" Ling Yuan opened the book in his hand, but his eyes rarely glanced at it, every year she presided over the test of the freshmen, and this set of presiding words was already very skillful.
"Okay, I've already told everyone about the rules, and now the test has officially begun, the first classmate, Li Xue." Ling Yuan looked at the list of appearances in his hand and said. As soon as her words fell, a somewhat thin girl in a white dress walked up to the front desk from the left side, bowed to several judges and teachers, and sat down in front of the piano.
The piano was open, but there was no score on it, and during the test, students were required to memorize the score.
The girl's slender fingers landed on the keys, bringing a burst of agile sounds.
"It's Haydn's Piano Sonata No. 49, in E flat major, hehe." When she heard the girl play the beginning, Liu Yufan smiled. There are many sonatas by Haydn, but there are only a few of the more famous, and this No. 49 is one of them. In particular, its first movement, the light and lively melody, left a deep impression on Liu Yufan.
Ling Yuan looked at the girl in front of the piano, to be exact, at her hands in front of the piano.
"The basics are pretty solid, but the control of the timbre is a bit dull, and this piece wants that kind of smart, clean effect, and the sound is still a little dirty." Ling Yuan said secretly in his heart.
Turning to look at Zhao Pingguo, who was sitting on his left, the latter nodded at her slightly, which obviously meant "Shang Ke".
"Alright, let's play it here." Without waiting for Li Xue to finish playing, Ling Yuan suddenly said, and then wrote a few times with a pen on the list in front of him, and the other two judges and teachers did the same, but they did not announce the results on the spot. This is also a common practice, and the results of intramural tests are not as good as off-campus competitions, and the results are generally not announced on the spot.
Looking at the joyless and sad expressions on the faces of the three teachers, Li Xue was a little apprehensive in her heart, this song was the most proficient one she had practiced, and she played it when she first entered school. It's just that she also knows that in terms of difficulty, this piece is a little lower, and she doesn't know if she can pass the test with this tune. However, the time was too tight, and it was too late to practice other difficult pieces.
"Next is the listening and rhythm questions, you come and draw the question number." Ling Yuan said, motioning for Li Xue to come over.
In a small cardboard box on the table, there were many paper sticks, Li Xue drew one a little nervously, and when she opened it, the number on it was 13.
Ling Yuan handed the sign to Mr. Wang Zhenxian on the far left, and the other party nodded after reading the number, then stood up from his seat and came to the piano, while signaling Li Xue to turn his back to the piano.
Li Xue, who had her back to the piano, her face just facing the students below who were waiting for the exam, watching everyone's eyes on her face, Li Xue's heart became even more nervous.
"First of all, the listening question, which is the standard tone." Wang Zhen said first, and played a group of small characters, and the piano suddenly made a loud long note.
The LA of the small character group, also known as the "standard tone", has a vibration frequency of 440Hz, and when the piano is tuned, this tone is also tuned first, and then the other tones are calibrated according to this tone. This is what "standard tone" means.
As a student who was admitted to the attached high school, Li Xue naturally did such exercises, but thinking that it was the professor of the attached middle school who was taking the exam at the moment, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Listening to the standard tone, Li Xue tried to keep the height in mind.
"Let's get started." Wang Zhen said first, raised his right hand lightly, and then played two more tones.
It is a harmony composed of two tones, and this is only the case in such a professional test. If you are a player who has only received amateur training, it is difficult to hear even a single tone.
In front of Ling Yuan and Zhao Guoping, they each had a standard answer, but at this moment, the two of them did not look down, this kind of difficult test, they had already conducted it countless times, for their pair of "golden ears", Mo said that it was such a simple double tone, even if it was a more complex third chord or even a seventh chord, they could hear it immediately, and they had become accustomed to an instinctive reaction to the pitch position of the piano. ..., "mi and do", Li Xue listened to it and said, this harmony is relatively simple.
"Please name the group in which the sound is spoken." Wang Zhen reminded first.
"I'm sorry, it's the mi of the small character group and the do of the small character group 2." Li Xue heard Wang Zhenxian's reminder and hurriedly apologized.
"It's okay, let's continue listening to the next group." Wang Zhen said first, and played a pair of double tones again.
This time, Li Xue listened for a little longer, because she could hear it, and one of the notes was a change of tone.
"It's the RE of the second group of small characters and the ascending sol of the second group of small characters." Li Xue said with some uncertainty.
Wang Zhen looked at Li Xue first, did not affirm or deny her answer, but continued to the next group of tests.
Liu Yufan, who was sitting below, listened to Li Xue's answer this time and frowned slightly. Obviously, Li Xue was wrong this time, the change tone was not a rise in sol, but just a rise in fa. He looked at the people around him, and the others didn't have any expressions, and he didn't know if they heard it or not.
"This kind of test is really enough to make people feel bottomless, and they don't tell anyone if it's right or wrong." Liu Yufan said secretly in his heart. However, he is still very confident that he can pass the test, especially after watching Li Xue's test.
The most difficult thing for Mr. Wang was to test the third chord, and of course he added a few variations. However, this kind of test intensity is a little too simple compared to Mo Yan training himself at the beginning. You must know that in the later stage, when Mo Yan practiced listening to himself, he had also heard the seven chords, and even the more perverted nine chords. That's a lot of noise, and in a very short period of time you can hear five notes mixed together, and there are many variations, and you can't compare to it without specific training!
Li Xue's test was over, and the teacher did not announce the results, but directly called the next one.
One by one, the students completed their own tests. Teachers don't wait for a song to finish, they usually just listen to a short part and then stop. It's a bit like a piano exam. However, Liu Yufan remembered his exam, the two teachers, but let themselves bounce from beginning to end, and depressed, they hadn't let themselves go.
Chen Zheng was in front of Liu Yufan, and when he was conducting the test, Liu Yufan was a little surprised, this guy's quality was very high, and the performance of Liszt's "Hunting" made several judges nod secretly.
"You can't underestimate the heroes of the world." Looking at Chen Zheng with a confident face, Liu Yufan said secretly.
"Next, Liu Yufan." Hearing Ling Yuan call his name, Liu Yufan got up and walked to the stage.
