Chapter 82 Grade Examination (5)

"Dong!" Both hands fell down with pure force at a height of about twenty centimeters from the keys. At the moment of touching the keys, fingers steadily supported the keys, and the piano made a solid and thick sound!

This is Beethoven's piano sonata. Unlike Bach's exquisiteness and gorgeousness, this song is a very bright and brilliant feeling, and it has a faint sense of wildness! [.]

If Bach's music is like an elegant aristocratic dance, everything is so polite and everything is so calm, then Beethoven's piano sonata is a soul dance with romantic and free rhythm, unrestrained emotions, without any constraints, and doing it at will. Both are like ice and fire, stillness and movement, which is not a musical feeling at all.

After a very strong g major began, the right hand suddenly became light and a short arpeggio was quickly made in the original position. This contrast between strength and weakness is everywhere in Beethoven's sonata. From the previous extremely strong to the current extremely weak, it sounds like a sudden push of a heavy door, and then "scan the head and mind" to look quietly, as if it was afraid of disturbing something.

The right hand began to move up with a short double tone, as if he gradually let go of his pace, jumped and then marched to a higher treble area again, and the song gradually became brighter!

Compared to the previous song, when playing this Beethoven's sonata, Liu Yufan's body movements became significantly bigger. When playing a stronger chord, his back would be straight and move forward like a fighter! And when playing the extremely weak part, his upper body would be slightly bent, close to the keys, and sometimes he would turn his head to the side, as if listening to the invisible sound. The distinct comparison between strength and weakness was fully demonstrated under Liu Yufan!

From beginning to end, Liu Yufan looked at the keys no more than ten times, most of them listening to his own performance. This is a performance that he will only be able to master the music after he has mastered it. Obviously, playing this song is already a subconscious action by Liu Yufan. He doesn't have to focus on even a little on his technicality, and all his attention is to listen to his own performance.

Being able to practice this song so well has something to do with Liu Yufan's love for this song. It seems that he has a fate with Beethoven. When Liu Yufan came into contact with this song for the first time, he fell in love with it. The melody is always so straightforward and direct to the hearts of the people. He will never be stable and always full of struggle. He can keep his passion from beginning to end when playing. This is really a wonderful enjoyment!

Like the first two songs, the two judges of this song did not interrupt Liu Yufan, and let him play from beginning to end. However, Liu Yufan was very grateful to the two judges. To be honest, he was reluctant to be interrupted when playing this sonata, which made him feel that he was very disrespectful to the composer, and at the same time it made him feel that the music image was very incomplete and he felt that it felt very uncomfortable.

"This kid plays this song so well!" Although Xie Li had no expression on her face, she was slightly surprised. If Liu Yufan's performance in her first two songs was still "good" in her heart, then his performance on this sonata just now made Xie Li not find any fault. To be honest, just for this song, Liu Yufan's level has exceeded the requirements of the ordinary grading exam. I believe that even if he plays on stage or participates in the competition, his proficiency is enough!

Of course, the song itself is also very simple, because this sonata is called Beethoven's "shorttest" sonata, and some people even jokingly call it "small sonata", so if you really participate in the competition, there will not be many people choosing this song. If this is not the case, it will not be designated as a CET-6 song. In CET-6, Beethoven's piano sonata appears, I am afraid that there will be no other choice except this one.

The last song, Debussy's "The Little Black Man".

This is the song that Liu Yufan is the least interested in. If the second song Bach can make him feel a little fun and achievement, then Liu Yufan is completely confused about this Impressionist piano piece. Although Jiang Ya introduced a lot of knowledge about Debussy when she told him and talked about many key points that need to be paid attention to when playing Debussy's works, this still cannot make Liu Yufan like this "thing". It is really too abstract. In Liu Yufan's opinion, those sentences are completely unaware of. Although Jiang Ya is asking him to try hard to feel the "colors" in the song, to be honest, even if Liu Yufan looks at those abstract paintings, he still can't figure out what the colors actually mean.

It's painful!

No matter what, Liu Yufan still practiced it and just regarded it as a grading exam. Fortunately, although the song is very "abstract", the technical requirements are not too difficult. It is much simpler than Bach's two creative songs.

After playing all four songs in a regular manner, Liu Yufan turned around and looked at the two judges. He knew that the judges would give him some comments as usual.

"The basic skills are relatively solid, and the music performance is also good. You must pay attention to controlling the speed. Sometimes it is either light fast or polyphonic. You need to go further and carefully. OK, that's it, Liu Yufan." The female judge said a few simple words, indicating that he could leave.

"Is that over?" Although I felt that the judges were talking a little, Liu Yufan knew that there was no need to ask many questions on such occasions, so he had to nod to the two judges and turn to leave the examination room.

As soon as Liu Yufan left the examination room, the two judges bowed their heads and started discussing.

"Zhang Heng, what do you think?" Xie Li turned her body and asked the brother who was wearing glasses next to her.

The man in glasses who had not spoken had a faint smile and said, "You can do it, I have no objection."

"Okay, then I'll hook it up." Xie Li said, slashing the paper gently, then sighed as if a pity.

The next candidate entered the venue, Xie Li seemed a little excited, and then listened to it, so she let him go out. However, the little boy was like a general amnesty and went out without even listening to the comments. He cheered outside: "Oh! The exam is finally over."

As soon as Liu Yufan went out, he saw Jiang Ya, Chen Siying waiting outside, and several other classmates. He greeted everyone one by one. Jiang Ya asked with concern: "How is Yufan? How did the examiner evaluate it?"

"That woman said that her basic skills were relatively solid and her music performance was OK, which means that I played a little fast, and the polyphonic music was not done well enough." Liu Yufan simply repeated the examiner's comment.

"Didn't you say anything else?" Jiang Ya asked in confusion.

"Yeah~~ It's all, that's all." Liu Yufan thought for a while and said.

"By the way, why did you have been in so long? It's almost time for three others." Jiang Ya asked a little strangely.

"I've finished playing all four songs." Liu Yufan said with a smile.

"Every song is played from beginning to end? The examiner didn't call for a stop?" Even Chen Siying was surprised. When she just played the electronic piano, she only played a short section, and the judges stopped playing it, and even said a lot of words to encourage her. Unexpectedly, Liu Yufan finished playing the song.

"Haha, maybe the judges think you play well. OK, don't think about it. Anyway, the exam has been completed. With your level, there should be no problem passing the exam. It's almost noon, let's go out to have something to eat. Brother Dong has already booked the restaurant. After eating, I'll take you to sing karaoke." Jiang Ya said with a smile.

"Okay." After the exam, Liu Yufan was in a relatively relaxed mood. He had been practicing high-intensity during this period, and he was really tired. He just took a moment to relax and change his mind.

Several people walked and chatted, slowly leaving the art school gate. There were still many candidates waiting for the exam outside. Looking at the lively scene, Liu Yufan felt a little moved.

"There are so many people who have graduating. It seems that the charm of art is indeed great!"

"Haha, Yufan, don't be in a hurry to sigh. In fact, many people take the exam not because they like music. Most of them are the wishes of parents. Some are not very good at studying and want to go to a good school with music expertise. There are many reasons. Of course, there are also people who are interested in learning because they like you. Yufan, stick to it." Jiang Ya encouraged.

"Well, I understand, sister." Liu Yufan said with a smile.

Chen Siying walked behind the two of them, and she felt very upset when she heard Liu Yufan calling out "sister" intimately. She secretly grimaced at him behind Liu Yufan and kicked him with a kick.

"Ah!" A shrill scream suddenly came from the crowd in front, which immediately attracted the attention of several people.

From a distance, looking at the place more than twenty meters ahead, a middle-aged woman was holding a little girl and cried shrillly, and many people surrounded her.

"Look at what's going on." Jiang Ya said, and ran over with the two of them.

"Yaoyao, what are you doing?" said the middle-aged woman in tears, while holding the child's hand tightly, and a large amount of blood gushed out of her fingers, which looked particularly shocking!

"Mom, mom, I don't want to practice the piano, I don't want to take the exam! Woo~~~" The little girl had two pigtails and her round little face looked very cute, but she looked sad at this moment. Her left hand was still holding a knife tightly!

Seeing this situation, the onlookers were stunned.

"Yaoyao, your parents have invested so much in practicing the piano. Why can't you understand your parents' painstaking efforts? After practicing the piano well, you can perform on stage in the future and win awards as a star. How great is it." The woman kept persuading her daughter, but her little face with tears was shaking her head, and she only repeated the words in her mouth: "I don't want to practice the piano, I hate practicing the piano!"

"Sister, you give it to your child first, I have band aids here." Among the crowd watching next to me, a kind mother handed over several band aids.

"Thank you!" The woman took the band-aid, then took out a wet wipe from her bag and cleaned the wound for the child. Only then did everyone see clearly that the child cut the finger of the index finger of his right hand with a knife. Although the hole was not big, it was very deep. Thinking that the child was forced to do this because he didn't want to practice the piano, the onlookers shook his head and sighed.

"Yaoyao, let's go home first." The woman left with her child in her arms, and the onlookers were still talking about what had just happened.

"Hey, if the child doesn't want to practice, don't practice it, it depends on how he's trying to force the child!"

"You can't say that, what do children know so young? You have to watch the piano practice. You have to buy tens of thousands of pianos. If you say you don't practice, you won't practice!"

"Whatever you do is to rely on the child's interest!"

...

Listening to everyone's discussion, Liu Yufan also fell into deep thought.
