"Xiao Chu, where are you now?" On the other end of the phone, a kind and gentle voice came, revealing a trace of cordiality.

"Professor Zhou, I'm in Qinhai. How are you doing lately? Chu Yang asked with a smile.

"I'm in good health, thank you for your concern. The last time you told me about admission, I told Professor Ling and Vice Dean Zhou together, and he agreed, but the head of the department, Lao Wu, had a little opinion, he meant that you have been away from the stage for more than two years, and out of responsibility for the piano department, I want to conduct an entrance test for you, what do you think? ”

Hearing Zhou Guangren's words, Chu Yang smiled.

"No problem, Mr. Zhou, you let Director Wu take the test, his worries are also right. The piano department of the Central Conservatory of Music is the palace-level standard of Chinese piano, and it is supposed that every student who enters the school should be examined, and I can't make it special. ”

Chu Yang didn't think there was anything in this entrance exam, after all, he was also aware of his own family affairs, and he hadn't played the piano much for more than two years, although he knew that his piano level would not regress because he didn't touch the piano for a long time, but what others thought was another matter.

The piano, like many musical instruments, is a retreat if you don't practice. Not to mention that I haven't touched the piano for more than two years, even if I don't touch it for a month, the level will regress significantly. After all, it's a hand-to-. If you don't move your fingers for a long time, they will "rust".

Hearing that Chu Yang agreed, Zhou Guangren smiled and said with relief; "Chu Yang, don't think about it, Professor Ling Yuan and I both believe in your level. The song of my motherland that you played at Renmin University has proved your strength. It's been more than two years since I've seen you on stage, but we're confident in your level, so let's prepare. If you have time in the past two days, you can also come to my house, and Professor Ling and I will give you counseling and counseling, so that you can familiarize yourself with the additional examination process of the alto piano department. ”

Hearing Zhou Guangren's words, Chu Yang's heart spontaneously developed a kind of admiration. This old-timer in the piano industry, who is over eighty years old, still shows a concern for the rising star of the piano. Although Chu Yang is not an ordinary piano student. But I still really admire Zhou Guangren's feelings. This is the real scholar, this is the real piano educator!

He nodded, and promised Zhou Guangren to return to Yanjing in the next two days, and he would definitely visit her after arriving in Yanjing. Chu Yang didn't really want Zhou Guangren to assist him in anything. He believed that at his level, an additional test of alto was nothing, and he just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity. Help her take care of her body. This old artist, who has dedicated his life to the piano career, is worthy of him.

Hanging up the phone, Chu Yang remembered that he wanted to enroll in school this time, and he also felt that he was a little willful.

He originally wanted to directly participate in the gambling contract with Lang Lang, in October of this year. In the Netherlands there is a Chopin Cup International Piano Masters. However, Chu Yang learned after inquiring that this Masters Tournament was not something anyone who wanted to participate in. Although his piano level is fine, the problem is that his reputation in the international piano world is too low, and when he asks about the registration requirements, he can't pass the standard of the contestants alone.

For the contestants, it is clearly stipulated that they must be active pianists in the international music scene and have won at least one international piano professional competition award. At the same time, it is necessary to have the recommendation of more than one piano performance authority.

As a result, Chu Yang was very bitter to find that he did not meet any of these conditions.

He thought about it. If you want to qualify for the competition in a short period of time, you still have to follow the regular way and let yourself have a "glamorous and reasonable" identity first. Entering the piano department of the Central Conservatory of Music naturally became his best choice.

Over there at the West China Conservatory of Music, if Chu Yang wants to go, there is no problem. Madi has been waiting for him, believing that as long as he has a word. You can be recruited right away. It's just that Chu Yang wants to participate in a piano competition this time, and the folk music at the West China Conservatory of Music is very powerful. The piano is a little bit off. So this time, Chu Yang still chose alto.

Chu Yang's previous alto special recommendation was personally proposed by Zhou Guangren, so this time, he also directly found the old professor.

In fact, Chu Yang also felt a little embarrassed in his heart. After all, the piano department of the alto is not the back door of your own home, and you can enter it if you want to. People recruited themselves, but they didn't say anything about it, and they didn't even give anyone a reason, so they went directly to work in the Ministry of Culture. Now that I want to go, it's another phone call, if people just let themselves get started so easily, even Chu Yang himself feels that something is wrong.

It's good to take the exam, so that you can enter the alto in a dignified manner, and your heart will be more balanced.

It's just that Chu Yang would never have imagined that the old director Wu of the alto, who is notoriously iron-faced and selfless, is not thinking about "just taking the test".

Hundreds of miles away, in the office of the head of the alto piano department, looking at the paper full of test questions in front of him, Wu Yingdi grinned with satisfaction.

"I'd like to see if I can't pass the exam, what else do the two old women have to say." Looking at the test paper in front of her, Wu Yingdi said with a smile.

He didn't have any opinions about the two professors, but he had opinions about the young man. Just like Chu Yang thought, he didn't give the piano department of the Central Conservatory of Music "face", that is, he slapped Lao Wu in the face. The holy church in the minds of piano students all over China, how can a young man be so presumptuous? Even if he's a genius, not yet!

Therefore, Lao Wu spent a day and a night to figure out this "additive" entrance exam. The content of this professional additional test, all the items are carried out according to the most difficult online, if the test paper can also be set like a game, what is easy, average, difficult, etc., then the difficulty of this test paper is the "hell" level.

"Young man, don't say that I'm old Wu is difficult for you, it's really too much for you. This time, I should teach you a lesson, don't think that if you have a little ability, you can see no one! Lao Wu took the test paper and said to himself.

He then called a teacher and asked him to take the test paper and type it out on the computer. He is old and no longer good at computer operation. Just as the alto piano department has also begun to try out electronic piano teaching, but he has played the piano all his life, and he has a natural resistance to that play, and always feels that no matter how good the electronic piano is, it is also an electronic piano, and it is not the same thing as the piano at all.

Zhang Yan came out of Director Wu's office, took the piece of paper in her hand, returned to her computer, and began to print.

She was amazed as she skillfully typed the test questions into the computer.

This is obviously a test paper, but what kind of person is going to take the exam, and what kind of person needs to answer such a sweep with difficulty close to the "perverted" level?

Bach's four creative works, Liszt's super-skill, Chopin's super-practice......

Also, what the hell is this? Is this really the subject of sight-reading? Looking at the dense notes on those lines of stave, Zhang Yan rolled her eyes.

What kind of trouble is this going to be, old director? Not to mention that this test question is done by students, and those teachers from the alto piano department are brought in, I am afraid that no one will be able to pass this exam. If nothing else, have you ever seen a sight-reading title that is directly four-part?

Sight-reading, as the name suggests, is to look at a completely unfamiliar sheet music on the spot and play it directly. From the point of view of beginners, this is a rather difficult skill, and it is necessary to build on a very familiar knowledge of the piano and possess very proficient techniques in order to reach the level of sight-reading. The repertoire of sight-reading is generally not too difficult, and in the piano entrance examination of the Central Conservatory of Music, the repertoire of sight-reading is generally equivalent to the level of grade 8 or 9 in the examination.

After all, a little bit of practice, and just looking at the music when you come up, are completely different concepts. The human brain has time to react. A brand new song, at first glance, has to analyze the key, form, tempo, dynamics, expression...... Playing as soon as you come up means that these must be dealt with in the first time, how can it be so simple?

And the sight-reading question she typed at the moment was actually a four-part polyphony, among which there were even more changes, and there were so many dynamics and expression marks. Such an audition topic, let alone a student, even the teachers are afraid that they have a headache.

Although she was puzzled, she still recorded the test paper as requested, printed it out, and sent it to Wu Yingdi.

"Director Wu, this exam question is too difficult, is this the topic of recruiting graduate students in our college?" Zhang Yan asked curiously.

"No, don't ask more, remember to delete the backup in your computer, this topic must not be leaked, especially ......" Lao Wu thought for a while and emphasized: "In particular, you can't let Professor Zhou and Professor Ling know, understand?" ”

The two old ladies liked the kid named Chu Yang, and he didn't know it, although he felt that with the character of these two professors, he would not do such a thing, but in order to prevent it, he still told him.

"Got it, Director Wu, what's going on with such a mystery." Zhang Yan asked a little funny.

"You'll find out in two days. By the way, you also prepare for the past two days, you have read all the test questions, and there will be an exam in two days, and you will also be a judge at that time, and you will take the exam together. Remember, you have to be strict, almost not at all, you know? Director Wu said sternly.

"Understand, Director Wu, don't worry, it's not the first time I've been a judge, how dare I release water in front of your old man." Zhang Yan said with a grin.

"Well, that's good, go get busy with you." Director Wu smiled and waved his hand to Zhang Yan, signaling that she could go out.

Looking at the test paper in front of him, a smile appeared on his face waiting to see a good show.

Picking up the phone on the table, he called Zhou Guangren.

"Hey, Professor Zhou, all the preparations on my side have been made, and there are a lot of things to do in the department, you see that we should hurry up, you can let Chu Yang come over within this week, let's do our best to conduct this exam." Director Wu said seriously.

"Okay, Lao Wu, you are efficient enough, I will notify Xiao Chu and let him come to Yanjing", on the other end of the phone, Zhou Guangren said with a smile. (To be continued)
