Chapter 238: Virtuoso
After confirming the residence and signing the contract, Fu Tiao began a short vacation life for a few days, waiting for the official start of the semester.
Although it is said to be a vacation, in fact, Fu Diao is not particularly relaxed, especially during the period when he has just entered Germany, Fu Diao needs to do a lot of things.
For example, when you first go to a new place, the first thing you need to do is register, which is called Anmelden in German, and in the Chinese community, it is simply An.
The registration number is not easy to get, because no matter what you do in Germany, you need to make an appointment for a Termin, which is the general name for the time and place of the appointment.
If Fu Tiao had just come to Germany, he would definitely have a headache because of this matter, and he didn't know what he should do.
But fortunately, Wu Tian was responsible for solving this matter with Zhou San's side.
Help Fu Tiao solve his basic problems.
On the night of Fu Tuo's day, he helped Fu Diao make an online appointment for Termin to go to the city hall for Anmelden, and at the same time, he also made an appointment for Fu Tiao's Termin for visa extension, Termin for mobile phone card, and finally Termin for bank card, one after another.
And the only one worth mentioning is the handling of bank cards, Fu Diao went to the Deutsche Gramophone Company to talk about it, so that they also sent someone to communicate, and on the day of the successful bank card processing, the money in the bank card was sent to Fu Diao's account.
However, although the money arrived, Fu Diao didn't actually get the card.
Because it is very troublesome to apply for a bank card in Germany.
It's not that it's so difficult to handle, it's just that it's a hassle.
In addition to real-name authentication and personal video (no one else around the person is allowed to interfere with the influence) authentication, they will generally send your bank card to you within a week after confirming that your authentication has been completed.
The bank card has not been sent to you yet, and you still can't use any of it, because it will take about half a week for your bank card password to be sent to you.
At this time, your card can be considered to be officially activated.
At this time, you can take the bank card in your hand and go to the bank's electronic counter, or find a special teller to communicate and negotiate to change your bank card password.
It takes a full ten days to complete the whole process.
This is what Fu Diao has been busy with in the past few days.
When the bank card password is changed, he can barely gain a foothold on the German side.
Either of them is troublesome, and I don't know how the Germans could accept such slow efficiency.
After Fu Tiao got the bank card in his hand, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and smiled at Wu Tian beside him.
"Thank you, I feel like I ...... without you"
"You can actually do these things without me, that's how everyone came." Wu Tian scratched his head with a smile.
"There is actually a lot of information like this on the Internet, and the most important thing to complete the preliminary preparation work here is trouble, looking at a lot of steps and looking at a headache, but in fact, when you really do it yourself, you will find that as long as you follow the above steps, each step is carried out very quickly, or even just go over and submit the materials to them, and then you can sit there and do nothing, just wait."
"That's right...... But thank you. ”
Fu Tiao thanked Wu Tian again, and then said, "If there is anything I can help with in the future, you can come to me." ”
"Huh? Are you sure? ”
As soon as Fu Tiao's voice fell, Wu Tian's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "My younger brother is also studying at the Berlin University of the Arts, and he told me that his girlfriend likes you very much, if you can...... He wants you to keep two tickets for your future concerts, so he can please his girlfriend. ”
"Huh?"
"If you feel embarrassed, forget it, after all, I feel that this is a bit excessive, after all, if you want it at every concert, you ......"
"No ......"
Fu Tuo scratched his head, he didn't know how to say it, so he could only say helplessly: "It's not that I don't help, it's that I'm not responsible for selling tickets, I don't even know how much money I sold at the box office, I only know that I get money ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 euros for a concert." ”
"That's ......"
Fu Tiao looked at Wu Tian with a little regret, and could only add: "But if I can get tickets in the future, I can give you a few." ”
Unexpectedly, Wu Tian waved his hand heartily and said with a smile: "It's okay, after all, it's a little embarrassing for you to find tickets for us, anyway, everyone is in Berlin, let's get together more when we get married, and then I get married and invite you to my wedding, don't refuse, if you get married, it's better to invite me." ”
"Okay, I won't refuse your invitation, but I'm ...... getting married" Fu Tiao was helpless: "Then I don't know when." ”
"Hahahaha, your piano level is so strong, and you are so handsome, and you are so good, it's actually very easy to find it, by the way, if you still don't understand anything, you can call me directly, or send a text message to email."
Wu Tian stretched out his hand, Fu Tiao and Wu Tian's palms shook each other, and after swinging up and down twice with great force, he watched Wu Tian drive his dilapidated little car away into the distance.
Soon it blended into the sea of cars in Berlin and dissipated in Fu Tune's sight.
Fu Tiao looked at the surrounding scenery and couldn't help but feel a trace of loneliness.
Berlin is a city where modern and classical colors coexist, and you can see a lot of modern gold here, such as tall glass buildings and very modern street art.
At the same time, you can see a lot of buildings in the city, decades old buildings and some antique dwellings, as well as homeless people wandering around and lying drunk on the streets.
As many people say.
It's a poor and sexy city, and the beauty of the city needs to be discovered by yourself, not like in Munich, where the beauty of a small jasper is written directly on your face.
Fu Tiao shook his head slightly and walked towards his room.
School will start in a few days, and I really don't know what kind of classmates I can meet.
……
Time flies, Fu Diao has been nested at home, and before he can enjoy the prosperity of Berlin, the courses of the Berlin University of the Arts have already begun.
It's just that what Fu Tiao didn't expect was that he originally thought that the second half of the semester of the Berlin University of the Arts would open like a normal semester, and some president would come and talk to them, and then say a lot of things that were not there.
Because it was the beginning of the second half of the semester, Fu Tiao came to the secretariat according to the information in the email, and after receiving his class schedule with the person in charge of the secretariat for the first time, he was directly dumbfounded when he looked at the content on it.
He suddenly realized that the curriculum at the Berlin University of the Arts was completely different from what he had imagined.
Originally, he thought that even a virtuoso diploma would require the practice of harmony and acoustics, counterpoint, and other courses that are also available in China.
But actually......
Not at all.
There is only one here, and that is a professional course.
There are only professional courses.
For performers, the only thing they need to practice hard is their professional level, because they want to go to a higher level, so the most important thing for them is the content of the professional class.
The other courses are basically related to the content of professional courses.
For example, chamber music performances and other rehearsals.
These are all things that Fu Tiao needs to learn.
This is also the content of the Berlin University of the Arts, UdK.
Compared to other schools, especially the Leipzig Conservatory not far away, UdK is more practical than theoretical, as can be seen from their entrance exams and curriculum.
However, they have a lot of minors that are available to all students studying in Berlin.
For example, courses like diving, boating, etc.
Although they are not credits, because they are students, they can take advantage of low-cost courses subsidized by the Berlin government.
Fu Tiao looked at the information on it and couldn't help but ask hesitantly.
"Anyway...... Is this place to go casually? What is this diving course? And that swimming, sailing, and Chinese cooking? Are they all optional? ”
"Huh? Dior, what do you say? Please wait a moment. ”
The secretary general was stunned directly after hearing Fu Diao's question, and hurriedly ran over from behind the desk, looked at the content about electives at the back of the curriculum in Fu Diao's hand, and immediately scratched his head in embarrassment, and said embarrassedly.
"I'm sorry, Dior, it was my mistake, this course is not yours."
"Huh? Not mine? Can ......"
"Ah, you said that all the students in Berlin written above can participate, right? But on the German side, a doctorate is not considered a student, and if you are a musician's diploma, you are also considered a doctor on the German side, so ......"
“……?”
Fu Tiao couldn't help but be stunned.
He thought he might take advantage of something, try something he hadn't experienced before, and experience a different life.
But he didn't think about it at all...... Because of his good grades, he skipped undergraduate and graduate school and began to study for a performer's diploma before he was 20 years old.
Therefore, he did not enjoy such a discount.
Looking at all this, Fu Tiao didn't know what he should say for a while, so he could only sigh helplessly.
"Okay, so be it."
"I'm sorry, Dior, I'm sorry, I know you'd love to try this kind of course, but I'm very sorry, we can't offer it for free, we can only offer it for free, only partially subsidized German lessons, half subsidized by our school plus the other half of the German course subsidized by the government, twice a week, 4 hours each time, do you need it?"
"German lessons?"
Fu Tiao was a little interested when he heard it, but he still shook his head slightly.
"I'll talk about it later, I'm a little interested in it, but I'm not sure if I need it."
"Okay, Dior, if you are interested in this kind of course in the future, you can come to me directly, I will send you the information of the German learning unit in cooperation with our school, and you can go and participate in the course at any time if you wish."
After saying that, he smiled at Fu Tuo and waved his hand, and said in a loud voice.
"Have a nice day, Tschüss (goodbye)"
“Tschüss”
Fu Tiao waved his hand at the secretary general, said goodbye to him, and turned to leave.
Tschüss in German reads like the Chinese word for "to die," so it always feels strange to say it.
Obviously, people don't have malicious intentions, but it just feels weird.
However, Fu Tiao didn't think much about it, just cleaned up a bit, and walked towards the place where he was going for his first class.
If it's a normal fall semester, the school may arrange a school tour to guide them to their piano room, classrooms, and secret passages around the school.
However, because it was the spring semester, everyone was very busy, so no one gave Fu Diao guidance, and the secretary general said that if Fu Tiao needed it in a few days, he could take Fu Diao around the campus in his free time.
However, Fu Tiao thought about it and refused, planning to go shopping by himself.
The campus in Germany is not the same as the campus in China.
In other words, the campuses of most countries are not the same as those in China.
These schools are located in various parts of the city, and each building has a college.
For example, jazz colleges, music therapy colleges, church music schools, and many more.
There are about eighteen buildings scattered throughout the city, but mainly near the Charlottenburg area, and there are no walls to stop them.
The building where Fu Tiao is now located is the main building, and it is also the place where all the students of the Berlin University of the Arts take big classes, and almost everyone has to come to this place to take classes.
And some of the professional classes will go to other upstairs.
And his main course is also in this building.
Fu Tune glanced at the lesson in his hand, because he was a performer's degree, so Fu Tune's main course was chamber music and orchestra cooperation.
The chamber music program is numerous and demanding.
Unlike China, which focuses more on individual performances, in Europe, they pay much more attention to chamber music and orchestras, which require multiple people to collaborate, compared to the strength of individual performers.
It's not just PhDs who need to study this kind of course, even undergraduates, first-year undergraduates, need to start researching and learning about chamber music.
This is a compulsory course, a very important compulsory course.
And Fu Tune's first lesson was a chamber music lesson in a chamber music classroom an hour later.
The main reason why it is not a professional class is that his teacher ...... Went on vacation and haven't come back yet.
And Fu Tiao has just entered the school, so it is not easy to arrange, so he did not immediately take the course of the main major.
But......
Fu Tiao walked outside the school, bought a simple cup of coffee and took a sip, took out his mobile phone, found the information about each teacher in the message given to him by the previous secretary general, and then found Klaus's mailbox and sent an email to Klaus.
A brief greeting to Klaus about his recent health and when he could start his first class.
Then I continued to look at the scenery outside the house, waiting for the first chamber music lesson.
I just didn't expect that before he could finish his coffee, Professor Klaus's email had already been sent.
"Hello, Dior! I've seen your email, I'm sorry I'm on the Taunus Hill around Frankfurt and expect to arrive in Berlin tomorrow, as for the first course, I would like to ...... How about we put it on Thursday night, six o'clock, what do you think? In my piano room, if there are any questions in the follow-up, you can change it, if you have any questions, you can ask me, friendly wishes, Klaus. ”
Thursday night?
Fu Tiao drank the last sip of coffee and nodded slowly.
He's a musician diploma, and he doesn't have a lot of classes, and there are probably only a few lessons a week.
On Thursday night, there happened to be no classes, and there was no need to transfer classes, so Fu Tiao directly replied to Professor Klaus with an email to confirm, and then turned around and walked towards the school.
It's almost time to take the first chamber music class, and Fu Diao has played jazz chamber music with jazz people before, and learned about collaboration.
So he was curious about what kind of surprise the chamber music course at the Berlin University of the Arts could bring to him.
He walked towards the school and came to the chamber music venue.
At this moment, there was no one around, the room was dark, and Fu Diao took the lead in turning on the lights to illuminate the room.
The yellowish light shines on the warm yellow wooden planks, illuminating the room transparently.
Even though the temperature in the room is not particularly warm, looking at such a scene, Fu Diao always has a warmth that wells up from the bottom of his heart.
He sat in the room, waiting for his chamber musicians to enter.
It didn't take long to wait, and after about a few minutes, the door of the house opened for the first time, and an obvious handsome European guy walked in from the door with a brown and yellow curly hair, looked at Fu Tuo, his eyes couldn't help but light up, he walked forward quickly, and stretched out his hand with a smile.
"Hello, I'm Camillo, a Spaniard, majoring in violin."
"Fu tune, Hua Guo, piano."
After Fu Tiao shook it gently, he let go of his hand.
As Camillus was about to speak, the door opened again.
Two girls with opposite styles walked in from outside the house.
A very small, about a little over 1.5 meters to the eye, with long hair, a huge cello on her back, and a cute looking girl swayed and waved at them.
"Hello! I'm Miela! German, majoring in cello...... 欸欸欸。 ”
She swung too much, and as a result, her center of gravity was unstable, and she almost didn't fall directly.
But fortunately, another tall girl next to her supported her.
"Thank you, Taha, if it weren't for you I'd fall." Mira said pitifully: "Although I have been reciting this cello for so many years, I am still not used to it, and it is always easy to fall. ”
"You're welcome, just be careful next time."
This girl is about 1.7 meters, has a crisp short haircut, and looks slightly sassy.
She looked at everyone with a smile, waved her hand as well, and spoke cleanly.
"Hello, I'm Tara, a Frenchman, majoring in violin."
