Before the two judges could come back to their senses, Liu Yufan raised his hands again, and the excited e-flat chords sounded again. Compared with g-flat major, except for the slightly different fingering methods, the difficulty of this scale is the same as the previous one.

Seeing Liu Yufan's previous performance, the two judges had no doubts about Liu Yufan completing this exercise easily. Scales and arpeggios are the most tests of a student's basic skills. The experienced piano teacher can basically tell the level of his level just by looking at the scales the student plays. [.]

What surprised the two of them was that Liu Yufan did not slow down at all in the next arpeggio, and it was still alleg

etto (small quick-pronged)!

Arpeggios are a technique that is more difficult than scales. The scales are to play all the notes in a tune in sequence, while the apeggios only play chords. Because of this, the span of the fingers when playing the arpeggios is larger and the wrists are required to play it!

Generally speaking, when the students who are taking the arpeggio, they will basically slow down slightly to give their wrists enough time to change positions. However, Liu Yufan didn't seem to care about this at all. His wrists were so flexible that there seemed to be almost no big change in his hand shape. After playing the three notes of a hand position, the wrists were gently placed, and the hand shape was ready in the next position. It looked extremely relaxed!

"This child has really worked hard in basic skills!" Hearing the arpeggio played by Liu Yufan, Xie Li was roughly aware of Liu Yufan's level. She didn't need to listen to the songs behind. She also knew that this child was the highest among the more than 30 candidates so far.

"Listen to the song behind him." Xie Li sighed, looked at the pencil mark on the list, and frowned.

After finishing the basic exercises, the remaining four songs are left. There is no need for the judges to order any more songs, because according to regulations, the music that candidates can choose by themselves. What songs they play have been written clearly on the grading registration form before they play.

The etude chosen by Liu Yufan is Cheerney's etude op...

For beginners, Cheerny's etudes are almost the longest etudes that accompany them. From the initial 599, to 849, to 299,718,740... the difficulty gradually increases. In addition to the initial 599, which was a comprehensive exercise, the following books have focused on it.

Liu Yufan's current level is in the late 849 period, and the song playing 299 has been slightly higher. Because the etude 299 is a "fast etude", the main practice is high-speed running. Just like this song..., the speed marked in front is p

esto (acute board), 112 shots per minute, which is more than the alleg used by Liu Yufan just now

etto (small quick-pronged) is even faster!

Of course, in actual performance, this speed is not absolute. According to the specific situation, some people will be slightly faster and some people will be slightly slower, but overall it should be similar to this speed, just like the one who is targeting P

esto (urgent board), you can't play so fast, you can play it slowly to alleg

etto (small fastball), but if you play it too slowly and you become a lento (slowball), it will be a joke, just like a Ferrari but the speed of a ox cart will seriously damage the expression of the song.

However, although Liu Yufan's comprehensive level is not at 299 now, it is still not technically difficult for this song alone, because this song... is a relatively simple one in the entire 299 song. It is just that the sixteenth note running alternately with both hands is not much more difficult than the arpeggio just now.

Sure enough, Liu Yufan played the original speed easily. Seeing Liu Yufan's right hand running easily on the keys, the two judges knew that this song was not difficult for him.

Of course, if you dig it in detail, there are still some minor problems, such as the sound of the left hand is not clever enough, and the primary and secondary between the two parts of the left hand is not too obvious, but these are all minor problems, which can be said to be flaws but not bad. Moreover, compared with the dozens of candidates in front of him, Liu Yufan is the best. At least, none of the candidates who played this song before him could reach his speed! Not to mention that at such high speed, there were almost no wrong sounds.

Of course, that is almost 100%. After all, it was the first time Liu Yufan took the exam, and it was certain that he felt a little nervous. It was understandable that one or two wrong notes occasionally appeared in such a high-speed etude. Just when he was running with his left hand, Liu Yufan didn't pay attention to a slight change of notes. He hit the black key next to him and a "dirty note" appeared, but it was not very obvious, and it did not seriously affect the integrity of the entire song.

A wrong sound appeared, and Liu Yufan was still quite regretful. After looking at the judges behind the table, the two of them still looked at themselves expressionlessly, and couldn't help feeling a little confused.

At the same time, Liu Yufan was also a little strange. He just listened to the test of other candidates outside the door. Generally speaking, the judges would not let the candidates finish a whole song. Most of them only played for one paragraph. They could judge the proficiency of the song and signaled to stop. Why did they get to him but they kept playing until they finished, and the judges didn't stop?

Could it be that he played too well? Liu Yufan thought to himself.

After calming down, Liu Yufan began to play the next song again.

This is the polyphonic.Baroque part.

Baroque

oque) is an artistic style widely circulated in the 17th century. It is a very distinctive artistic style that combines religion, romanticism, rich imagination, etc. It is widely reflected in many fields such as architecture, literature, drama, and music. It is a very important art form.

The great composer Bach lived in that era, so most of his compositions were rich in Baroque (ba)

oque) style, and because most of his works are polyphonic works, they have high performance difficulty and appreciation value, they are also called "Olympics in the piano" by many pianists.

In this part, Liu Yufan chose Bach's second creative song (no.11), after all, it was just a CET-6 song, and the difficulty of the second creative song was enough to meet the standards. Liu Yufan even felt that the most difficult of the four songs was this polyphony. When practicing, he suffered a lot. He either didn't care about his left hand when playing his right hand, or he didn't care about his right hand when playing his left hand. When the hands were combined together, the one-handed melody that was originally skilled immediately became extremely awkward!

Liu Yufan couldn't help but remember the words of the piano buddy in his previous life: "Some people die, but he still wants to force the living people to death, such as Bach."

However, when Liu Yufan practiced the whole song, he didn't think so.

Unlike other songs, even if you play Bach's song a hundred times, you will still be interested in it when playing it one hundred and one time. Because when you play it, your mind always keeps turning and keep thinking at high speed. When you hear those individual melodies that are not clear, tacitly united while you think at high speed, and then you will actually produce wonderful and lively music, you will feel a great sense of accomplishment. Unlike some songs with particularly regularity, after practicing, you will lose freshness after playing it a few times, and you will never think about touching it again!

This is a song in b-flat major. At the first stanza at the beginning, a p mark is clearly marked, indicating the strength of the song.

"p" means "weak". In Bach's songs, clever and gorgeous sentences account for a large part. Therefore, most of his songs do not show too strong signs of strength, at most they are f (strong), and most of them are p, mp, mf, etc. Moreover, in the middle of the song, many signs of gradual strength and weakening are often seen. But in terms of speed, they are generally not very fast. After all, most of these creative songs need to express some exquisite and gorgeous images, rather than something that is irritable and exciting.

The left hand sank slightly, and a faint bass sounded, and then the right hand ran like a spirit cat, running at a medium speed at a small finger movement that was not excessive. At the same time, the left hand also participated in the same speed. The two melodies were completely different, but they worked together and cooperated tacitly, just like two free fish, sometimes swimming together and playing together, and sometimes playing separately. The change in strength added a dramatic expression to the whole song.

This is the charm of polyphonic, never impatient, like a nobleman walking around in the garden, like a delicate and glittering silverware, like a room with golden luster and carved solid wood furniture. In short, you can't feel any negative, exciting, and impatient emotions in it. It is always so slow and energetic, this is polyphonic, this is Bach!

Of course, it takes superb performance skills and artistic cultivation to make the song reach such expressiveness. As for Liu Yufan at present, he is far from reaching this level. However, it is already very difficult to be able to reproduce this song in a more complete way, and there is a faint charm. You should know that many of the candidates in the previous stage, not many of them were smoothly and missed when playing the polyphonic part, and some of them simply couldn't play halfway, and they started over again. As a result, they were stopped by the teacher and jumped to the next song. If it is possible not to choose the polyphonic part, few people probably like to play this trick!

When Liu Yufan finally played this song down, he was relieved and finally nothing big made. It was really not easy to maintain such a state of concentration at all times!

After adjusting for a while, Liu Yufan was preparing to play the next song, which was also the most proud and most anticipated "Beethoven's Sonata in G Major" that he was the first movement (op.49, no.2)!
