The Schumann music competition is divided into the big Schumann for adults and the little Schumann for teenagers, although there are no explicit rules, but the unspoken rules and private tacit understanding over the years, especially in the piano competition, twenty-five years old is the dividing line, and only those above twenty-five can sign up for the big Schumann. Zhuo Yang www.biquge.info pen fun pavilion is not even eighteen years old, and it is considered young to participate in the little Schumann, and now he is so mixed in with the big Schumann, which makes a group of artists very embarrassed.

Carl Norman knew the rules, of course, but the cunning professor wanted to take advantage of them. Who made you come without a written rule? Which one says that seventeen or eighteen years old can't participate? You show it to me. What do you mean by all this? How could I not know? Can unspoken rules also be called rules? When did we Germanic people become so unsophisticated?

The old professor's nonsense and his own huge prestige made the tournament organizers have to grit their teeth and compromise, and they can only make an example. Then urgently write the unspoken rules in black and white, and turn them into clear systems and provisions. As a result, Zhuo Yang became the youngest contestant in the history of the Schumann International Music Competition.

The famous pianist Professor Carl Norman took great pains for his beloved disciple, and he didn't even want to lose his face.

However, from the first day of the preliminary round of the first round, all the controversy caused by Zhuo Yang's qualification came to an abrupt end.

The piano competition is divided into three stages, the first round of the preliminary round, all participants in batches in the prescribed repertoire to choose a piece of the repertoire, 20 to 30 minutes of performance, of which 50 winners enter the second round of semi-finals.

The semi-finals are the same process and the best 10 players advance to the finals.

On the first day of the preliminary round, Zhuo Yang easily stood out from more than 300 piano masters with a piece of Schumann's "Theme Etude 10: Paganini Caprice" and entered the second round of the semi-finals with 50 participants.

During the playing, Zhuo Yang's treatment of the 32-minute rest that can be seen everywhere in the "Theme Etude 10: Paganini Caprice" immediately blocked the mouths of the old artists. The urgency and wheezing characteristic of the seemingly fragmentary note fragments are skillfully controlled by Zhuo Yang, and with the cooperation of the heavy chords of the treble part, they are staggered and long and grandiose, forming a distinct and unique auditory effect.

Talent coupled with hard work and excellent mentors, Zhuo Yang's level of strength was shocked by the organizers of the event, and they were glad that they did not rigidly refuse the qualification of Chinese teenagers. The rise of a young talent at the Schumann International Competition is undoubtedly a great story in the music industry.

Professor Carl Norman's expression was smug in all directions.

.

The city of Zwickau, with a population of more than 100,000, is about the same as the larger townships in China, and it is pitifully small. It's another city lost between modernity and tradition, with a nondescript architectural style that has the feel of a county-level city in China's eastern provinces, and people can see with their eyes the kind of struggle it has under the impact of ancient accumulation and modern industrial civilization.

As Schumann's hometown, the whole town is showing off Robert Schumann everywhere, but any building that can have something to do with Schumann's master will be clearly declared, and it is almost written with a similar slogan such as "Schumann's third uncle's husky mother's sibling dog used to urinate here".

Almost all the taverns and cafes in the town are playing Schumann's piano music very appropriately, which is similar and noisy. Zhuo Yang and the four of them rushed into this ordinary small café on the side of the road, because the music here is very ingenious to play Richard Marx's "Right-Here-waiting", called "This Love Can Be Waiting" in Chinese.

Because there were still two days before the rematch, Zhuo Yang wandered around Zwickau City with Li Xiaoqing, Zhao Xue and Cheng Hao after practice. As the head of the general logistics department and a staunch supporter of Zhuo Yang's younger brother, Li Xiaoqing naturally wants to go to the front line to cheer for Zhuo Yang, and Zhao Xue must of course follow the eldest lady. Cheng Hao stared at Zhuo Yang, I will go wherever you go, anyway, I will eat you, whether it is football or not, I have to write.

The four of them were originally quite leisurely, and Zhuo Yang was so relaxed for the first time in almost a year, because he could speak completely in Chinese, which was a great feeling. However, a Chinese can say that their Oriental F4 is gathered together, which is indeed very eye-catching. The foreigner who didn't have long eyes politely asked them if they were from Japan, and immediately swept the interest of the four people, rolled their eyes and left, making the stupid foreigner not only embarrassed but also inexplicable.

The four of them slipped into the humble little café and chatted and gossip. Zhuo Yang gave the three supporters a general overview of his participation in the competition, and also said that it should be no problem to enter the top ten. In fact, this is also Zhuo Yang's own margin, and Chinese are not used to talking full. Carl Norman tore his face to the ground, just for a top ten?

The professor had already told Zhuo Yang that this time he was coming for the first three, and he was already here for not making a sound. Zhuo Yang had never participated in such a big battle, and he was a little uncertain in his heart. The professor is well-informed and knows the quality of his students inside out. It is also important to note that Carl Norman has been involved in the German music scene and the Schumann Competition for half his life, and his connections can scare people to death. He clearly told Zhuo Yang: You just play you, don't forget that I am a judge, my friend is also a judge, and a friend's friend is still a judge!

Who says that only China has nepotism and a back door?

The four of them were killing the afternoon sun, and inadvertently let Zhuo Yang break a little secret.

Maybe it was the coffee diuretic in the small town, Zhao Xue and Cheng Hao went to the bathroom one after another. Zhuo Yang was talking to Li Xiaoqing, and saw that a pianist from the Czech Republic who he had just met in the past two days was also drinking alone inside, so he stepped forward to say hello and chat. When I went around the front desk and went back to Li Xiaoqing, I heard someone talking behind the door.

"Kiss again, just a bit, good~"

"Don't let Xiaoqing see it's not good, turn around and let you kiss it enough, don't ......"

I'll let me go, it's Cheng Hao and Zhao Xue. Zhuo Yangkou was dumbfounded!

Zhuo Yang didn't have the gossip to tell Li Xiaoqing immediately, but he was still excited to find out that others were sneaking.

found an opportunity to quietly joke with Cheng Hao: "Are you here to follow up the interview or to pick up girls?" It's only been a few days, and you're on it? Yes. ”

"Holy shit, you're a bunny ear." Cheng Hao didn't care: "What do you mean?" Can you talk? ”

"Yo, the cow is still on? Believe it or not, I'm going to tell Miss Li? ”

"Go, go, Zhao Xue is not married, I am not married to Cheng Hao. You bite me? Cheng Hao smiled brightly.

Another vulgar tale of love at first sight.
