Chapter 103 Playing the Piano and Discussing the Art
After coming out of the interview room, there seemed to be something more between the two of them. Although they were silent for a while, there was no awkward or uncomfortable feeling.
"Brother Yu, the piano department's interviews are in front of you, would you like to go and see it?" Murong Hui asked again.
"Okay, our school also tests sight and hearing and ear training?" Chen Yu suddenly asked.
"Brother Yu, did you study piano before? How come you also know how to do audio-visual and ear training?" Murong Hui was surprised again.
Audio-visual ear training is a required part of the admissions exam for many art colleges. The requirements of each department are different, but it can test candidates' musical memory, ability to imitate and respond to pitch and rhythm, ability to read music and music.
understanding and expression ability.
For non-art candidates, few people know the various requirements and knowledge during the interview, so Murong Hui asked this question.
Chen Yu smiled bitterly and said: "I have practiced, so I know a little bit about it. I once thought about taking the art major, but then... I couldn't help myself."
Murong Hui heard the regret and regret in his words, as well as other emotions, and comforted him: "The road of art is endless. If Brother Yu wants to continue on, our school has a lot of resources."
During the fiery dance audition, the piano department seemed much more elegant and quiet.
Many students were sitting quietly on chairs outside the classroom. Some closed their eyes and meditated, some were shaking their fingers unconsciously, and some stood up and walked back and forth.
"Piano practitioners are generally more reserved and quiet." Murong Hui explained, and then said, "Brother Yu must understand, I am very good at what I do."
"That's what I should say." Chen Yu shook his head, showing a helpless expression.
"Come on, there's no need to eavesdrop this time. There's synchronized sound inside." Murong Hui showed a playful smile and pointed to the two rooms in front of her.
Chen Yu understands that many art recruitment colleges will record the piano test, and some will also set up a sound room next to it for people who are not invigilators to listen. In this way, evidence can be preserved and the test results can be verified.
Parents and students who have objections will be investigated by relevant departments. Secondly, more people can feel the influence of music, and it will also make the exam more open and fair. Obviously, this is the case with the Oscars.
When I came to the audio room next to the interview room, there was no one else in it. I closed the door and immediately cut off the outside sound. The tiles on the wall were covered with holes like wormholes, which were obviously used.
Sound insulation and sound-absorbing materials ensure good results.
"You can still see candidates here." Murong Hui pointed to a small screen in the middle of the wall.
Chen Yu saw it as soon as he came in, and quite agreed with the school's open and fair assessment method. After all, the piano exam does not require a dance exam, and it does not infringe on the students' privacy, so it can be like this.
At this time, as the boy sitting on the black grand piano on the screen moved his fingers, a moving melody sounded in the ears of both of them at the same time.
It was Beethoven's "To Alice". The simple but emotionally charged sound echoed in the room. A strong attachment seemed to span thousands of years, coming from distant Europe, sandwiched with the depth and harmony of history.
The nobility of art.
"It's more risky to use such a simple piece as a self-selected song." Murong Hui seemed to be quite involved in the piano. After listening for a while, she expressed the other party's situation with a frown.
Indeed, Beethoven's "Für Elise" is simple and familiar to the public. Although it is easy to get started, it is quite difficult to bring out the feeling, bring out new ideas, and play it in a way that impresses others!
"Piano Amateur Level 4 is more suitable." Chen Yu felt the sound that he had listened to thousands of times and made a simple evaluation and said.
"Yes!" Murong Hui felt the same way. It would be more appropriate to put this piece in the Business Level 4 exam, but today is a professional exam, so using this would be a bit of a joke. She asked again, "Brother Yu,
You must be level 10 in piano?"
Chen Yu said: "No, practicing piano and taking exams is just like paying for meals. Is it necessary?"
After hearing his metaphor, Murong Hui chuckled and said: "This metaphor is really wonderful! By the way, I forgot that there are no grades in the professional field of piano, only amateur levels. Sorry."
Chen Yu smiled and said it didn't matter, and continued to feel sorry for the boy.
Of course, the premise for the two people to discuss this way is that the other party does not bring out the memorable charm. If he can give people a refreshing feeling, it will be another matter.
It's a pity that this boy's performance was mediocre. Even though both of them have rich musical senses, they couldn't feel anything more from his simple and unchanged performance.
After the performance, several judges showed no special expressions, and it seemed that they were in poor condition.
"The next step is audio-visual ear training. I heard that piano students have ten-finger tone recognition." Murong Hui explained in a low voice.
The so-called ten-finger sound identification means that the judge teacher casually presses ten fingers on the piano keys at the same time and asks the interview candidates to identify them one by one based on the sounds.
Chen Yu didn't show any surprise, and he obviously understood this.
"Okay, candidates, please pay attention, the following is the ten-finger sound identification stage." A middle-aged woman among the three judges said with a smile.
The boy sat up nervously, because this time his back was to the piano, and he could only stare at the white wall in front of him. One pair of ears wished they could become two pairs, so that he could clearly understand the coming sound.
From the perspectives of Chen Yu and Chen Yu, we can clearly see the performance of the judges.
I saw her coming to the piano, looking at a book in her hand, and then opening her ten fingers at different angles and pressing the keys at the same time. She only heard a loud "哐——" sound, and she slowly
He put away his fingers and waited for the candidate's answer.
The candidate wiped his cheek with his sleeve anxiously and said hurriedly: "g, f1, g1, c1, e1..."
After talking about five words, I couldn't remember. I remember wiping my sweat again and again. After a while, I finally said bravely: "f2, a4, a3, b1 and..."
He looked like he couldn't remember the last thing, and he shook his head dejectedly.
Murong Hui suddenly whispered: "Brother Yu, what's the last one?"
"e." Chen Yu blurted out without any hesitation.
Seeing Murong Hui looking at her with admiration, she hurriedly explained, "I'm confused too, don't look at me like that, I will misunderstand..."
After the incident that happened just now in the dance department, how could Murong Hui believe him? She pressed her lips lightly with her jade finger and pointed at the judge teacher inside, as if to see what the experts would explain.
The judge teacher looked at his watch, shook his head regretfully, and said, "It's time."
The boy mustered up his courage and said, "Teacher, can you tell me which key the last key is?"
Seeing this, the judge said: "Originally, according to the regulations, the answer is not announced on the spot, but I also tell you: e."
…
Murong Hui had no intention of listening to the rest of the words, and just looked at Chen Yu with eyes full of stars.
Chen Yu said: "Don't read any more, or I will get a nosebleed."
"Nosebleed?" Murong Hui asked with a smile.
"Yes, I am excited and my blood pressure rises..." Chen Yu explained in two sentences.
"Forget it, you are always full of surprising things. When I am with you, I can only feel myself getting smaller and smaller." Murong Hui said with admiration and emotion.
"Actually, sometimes I envy those children who have a carefree childhood. They have so much time to play and have eternal warm memories. Unlike me, who only have boring study and practice. I believe you also have this experience?
"Chen Yu sighed with a rare sigh.
After hearing this, Murong Hui also recalled the cruel scene when she was forced by her parents to practice dancing since she was a child. She couldn't help but nodded with the same feeling, but said: "Every effort has a reward. Although it was harder at that time, I
I think it’s worth it.”
Chen Yudao: "On the road of art, you have to give everything, and there may only be a few people who get reasonable gains."
