101 piano room

There was a pretty girl sitting in front of the grand piano.

Chu Wanning and two teachers were sitting not far from her.

After playing an etude, Chu Wanning took notes on the record board and wrote down 'disadvantages: the playing is too stiff and has no musicality'

'Pros: The rhythm is well controlled and the pedals are suitable'

"Okay, classmate, let's play the next song."

a teacher said.

"OK."

The girl calmed down and then started playing.

The retest is easier than the art test.

Just play two pieces, a sonata and an etude.

But this retest came very suddenly. It was suddenly announced three days ago that many people did not have enough time to practice the piano. In addition, the military training had just ended, and many people had not practiced the piano for several days.

Perhaps because of this, the college can more clearly understand the true level of students.

"...."

"It's Teacher Shen Nan's music again. In recent years, the art test has basically been his etudes and sonatas."

One teacher shook his head and laughed.

"Now every year when I take the art exam, I basically hear his Winter Wind Etudes and the third movement of the Pathetique Sonata... My ears almost feel like cocoons."

Another teacher also commented.

More than ten years ago, a master named Shen Nan emerged and composed dozens of classical pieces in a few years. As a result, the landscape of the classical music circle changed a lot.

Those boring and monotonous etudes and sonatas in the past... basically no one is playing them anymore.

All the top music academies in the world now teach music composed by Shen Nan in the past ten years or so.

"..."

"Okay, classmates, you can stop."

Allen Chu listened to the conversation between the two people next to him and had mixed feelings in his heart.

In today's world, the classical music circle is divided into two groups of people because of Shen Nan.

There is a new school represented by Shen Nan, and there is also a traditional school based on Blue Star music of the past four hundred years.

"Okay, thank you, teacher." After politely thanking her, the girl walked out of the door.

Chu Wanning then discussed with the other two teachers and gave an average score of ninety-five.

After the girl leaves

There was a knock on the door, and Chu Wanning and the other two teachers looked up.

They are a black-framed boy and a middle-aged man.

They knew the middle-aged people. After all, they were all from the same school. They had met each other a few times without looking up.

"Teacher Chu, it's like this... As a student of mine, he wants to..."

"..."

After an explanation.

The two teachers beside Chu Wanning couldn't hold it back and said: "Old Xu, it's not like you weren't there when Shen Nian took the art exam. Who do you think can match his level at the same age?"

"If you give him a year or two, he might be able to play better than us!"

"This Han Wenbin next to you, I have heard him play the piano before. All I can say is to take him back quickly. There is no comparison between him and Shen Nian!"

The two teachers said something to each other, but their words did not reflect favorably on Han Wenbin.

Allen Chu stared at the boy with black-rimmed glasses opposite him.

He hasn't heard Shen Nian's live performance yet, so he doesn't know the other person's true level. However, seeing how many teachers in the school praise him, it's impossible to think that he doesn't have some ability.

"You play a piece of music first and I'll listen to it."

Chu Wanning said.

"I'll wait for Shen Nian to play first! Whatever he plays, I'll play!"

Han Wenbin pushed up the frames of his glasses very confidently.

"Old Xu, did you, a student, fail the course on ideological thinking?"

"Why do you still play Shen Nian? What do you play?"

"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. If Shen Nian plays first, you won't have the confidence to touch the keys."

The two teachers really didn't understand where the other's confidence came from.

It is a good thing to have this confidence when you are eighteen or nineteen years old, but confidence and pride are two different things.

"Wenbin, play first if I ask you to!"

The middle-aged man named Lao Xu also slowly frowned at this moment. This student of his was really a bit too crazy.

"Just play it!"

"I started practicing piano when I was six years old. From then on, I basically practiced eight hours a day."

"When I reached junior high school, it increased to ten hours. What accompanied me most when I was young was always the black and white keyboard and the clicking sound of the metronome."

"I don't believe that Shen Nian can surpass me!"

The experience of practicing hard in the past made Han Wenbin blindly confident.

In terms of talent, he has it, and in terms of hard work, he also has it.

Who can get into this academy and not be a genius?

He just refuses to accept it!

Sitting in front of the piano, Han Wenbin put his hands on the black and white keys.

It's the same as the girl played just now, Winter Wind Etude.

However, whether it was the progression of emotions, the control of finger strength, or anything else, Han Wenbin was obviously much better than the girl just now.

Allen Chu holds the recordboard in his hand and nods from time to time.

"It's pretty good to play."

Chu Wanning commented.

It's almost catching up to her level back then.

"It's pretty good if you look at him alone."

"But if you compare him with Shen Nian, the gap is too obvious."

Even though Han Wenbin was playing very well in front of him, and every detail of the song was played very well, the two teachers were still not optimistic about it.

When Shen Nian took the art exam, he also played the Dongfeng etude, and the two of them happened to be there at the time. Although they were not graded, they could only use one word to describe it, and that was terrifying.

Even after listening to Shen Nian's music, both of them felt like they had played the piano like a dog for so many years.

"Yes, I am a good student in everything, but I am a little too arrogant. It would be good to let Shen Nian give him a blow."

Lao Xu also commented pertinently.

"Are you sure your student can handle it? Don't be so shocked that you dare not touch the piano."

"That's not the case. I came here to find him a competitive target..."

Lao Xu was suddenly a little worried, but after thinking about it, he was so shocked that he dared not touch the piano... it was really too much.

Chu Wanning on the side did not interrupt, but listened quietly.

In her opinion, Han Wenbin's level was already very good.

In the past two days, she also took the time to listen to the video of Shen Nian's art exam at that time...

However, perhaps because the recording was done too many times on the mobile phone, the sound was very noisy and it was impossible to hear Shen Nian's true level at all.

soon

Han Wenbin also finished playing, and the sonata he chose was the third movement of Moonlight.

Because he heard that Shen Nian played this song back then.

As if to prove himself, he has been practicing this piece of music for the past three days.
