world number one pianist

Chapter 144 This feeling, not bad?
Zhao Zitong stood in front of the staff in charge of drawing works, handed out her admission ticket and identity certificate, and looked at the tablet in front of the staff.

On the tablet are her personally identifiable information, as well as the track to play.

Zhao Zitong, female, 17 years old.

A student of Ningcheng No. [-] Middle School.

Subjects to apply for: Piano
Repertoire for examination: Chopin Piano Ballade No. [-].

Beethoven's "Pastoral" sonata first movement.

To the right of her name, there is her profile picture, a deadpan identity photo.

I can't say it's good-looking, I can only say it's not ugly, after all, all identity photos are like this.

The staff member in charge of drawing works took the ID card that Zhao Zitong handed to him, read it carefully, and then took another look at Zhao Zitong. After confirming that it was correct, he immediately nodded to Zhao Zitong.

"Okay, after the identity verification is completed, you can extract your work. You click the extract button in the middle of the screen, and the system will randomly select a work. You can see what it is."

"OK, all right."

Zhao Zitong nodded obediently, stretched out his little hand, and tapped on the extracted work in the middle of the screen.

Sa!
Without any animation effects, an extremely ugly pop-up window written in VB language immediately appeared in front of her.

[Reminder: The repertoire for your exam is - Beethoven's "Pastoral" Sonata, the first movement. 】

After the staff brought the tablet over, they took a closer look, looked at the content on it, and nodded silently.

"Well, the piece you are going to play later is Beethoven's Pastoral Sonata, the first movement. This information has been entered into the computer and sent to the examination room. If you play other works, you will not get any points. I understand. ?"

"understood."

Zhao Zitong nodded again, took the test admission ticket and ID card handed back to her by the staff, and ran all the way to the entrance of the B test room.

While she was entering the information, the people in front had already started to play, so when she walked to the entrance of the examination room, there were only three people at the entrance of the examination room.

And, the third candidate is changing clothes, ready to enter.

The fourth candidate looked nervous as the third candidate prepared to enter the arena. His eyes kept scanning the surroundings, as if looking for a place to distract him.

Soon, the fourth candidate noticed Zhao Zitong. Although his eyes were still scanning randomly, the time his eyes stayed on Zhao Zitong increased significantly.

Zhao Zitong glanced at the fourth person inexplicably, ignored him, and didn't stop him from looking at him, just sat on the chair by the door and waited quietly.

The time before the exam is fast and slow for every candidate...

The fast ones are tense, the slow ones are anxious.

I wanted to finish the exam earlier, but I was afraid that I would be the next one.

After all, this kind of test is conducted in a whole room, and in the whole room, you are alone, taking the test, and no one can help you.

This kind of loneliness is very terrifying. Some people with weaker mental abilities are easily afraid of it and dare not compete.

However, Zhao Zitong was not afraid, her mentality had gradually calmed down, and she began to have confidence in this exam.

Isn't it just an ordinary exam, is there anything to be nervous about, is there anything to worry about?
No, there isn't, there is nothing to worry about!

After all, his teacher has already said that he has no problems, so he doesn't have any problems.

If you don't even trust your own teacher, who else can you trust?
Therefore, Zhao Zitong's eyes were very clear, without much emotion in them.

"Entry on 228, get ready on 230!"

The staff in the room came out suddenly, knocked on the cardboard in their hands, and reminded the two people at the door.

"it is good……"

No. 228 stood up tremblingly from the chair, unbuttoned his black down jacket, took two deep breaths, then clenched his fist hard, trying to calm himself down.

After he calmed down a bit, he immediately got up, glanced at Zhao Zitong, pursed his lips, finally shook his head, and walked towards the examination room.

After Zhao Zitong watched him walk into the room, she also got up and stood at the door of the room, waiting for her turn.

The students behind her were also brought to the assessment site by the staff at this moment for inspection.

The little girl who was very nervous before and wanted to talk to others to relieve her tension, now stood in it very honestly, looking around very nervously, her eyes kept rolling.

He wanted to open his mouth and talk, but he didn't know what to say, so he closed his mouth and continued to look around.

Suddenly, she found Zhao Zitong standing in front of her, breathed a long sigh of relief, her eyes lit up immediately, waved vigorously at Zhao Zitong, and whispered.

"Hey, little sister, come on!"

Zhao Zitong also saw the little girl who just came from behind. Just as he was about to wave, a performer in front had already walked out dejectedly. The staff walked to the door and tapped the cardboard in their hands again.

"In the exam area, no noise is allowed, and everyone is not allowed to whisper!"

"Candidate No. 230 enters, and Candidate No. 232 prepares."

After all, he glanced at Zhao Zitong standing in front of him, obviously stunned for a moment.

Many candidates who came here today are very good-looking and beautiful, but it is still rare to see someone like Zhao Zitong.

Especially when they were all wearing oversized black down jackets, while Zhao Zitong was only wearing a light brown coat.

This light brown coat made Zhao Zitong different from other candidates.

but……

The staff member just glanced at it, then retracted his gaze.

It's one thing to look good in clothes, but it's serious to be able to play well.

He was used to the kind of people who were dressed in flashy clothes but played badly.

If she plays poorly, no matter how well she wears it, it is impossible to add one or two points to her score.

Therefore, the staff glanced at Zhao Zitong up and down, and said to Zhao Zitong in an extremely flat tone.

"You are number 230? Come in."

"Ok."

Zhao Zitong walked into the examination room obediently, took off his overcoat to reveal the pure white cashmere sweater inside, nodded to the staff, and put the clothes in the frame at the door.

Then, he put all the bags, books and other miscellaneous things aside, and only took his ID card and examination admission ticket, walked to the staff in the examination room, and handed all the documents in his hand to the staff.

The staff responsible for entering the information quickly checked Zhao Zitong's information, and nodded after confirming that it matched his own.

"Okay, you can start playing. Before you start, remember to remind us, say the beginning, and call the end when it is over. If the loss is caused by not calling the end to start, you will bear it yourself."

"Ok!"

Zhao Zitong nodded without any hesitation, walked to the piano bench in the examination room, and quickly adjusted the height of the seat.

Let your arms hang down naturally to a height where they can easily rest on the keys of the piano.

Adjust the front and back of the seat.

Keep the distance between your body and the piano neither too close nor too far to ensure the most comfortable playing state.

Put your fingers on the piano keyboard and press down slowly without making a sound.

Feel the strength and quality of the piano keyboard giving her feedback.

After everything was done, she nodded immediately, and was about to speak to the staff next to her, telling them to prepare for the recording.

At this moment, Zhao Zitong suddenly saw a person standing in the corner from the corner of his eye.

He Shen...

He Shen was standing at the corner of the wall, arms folded, body leaning against the wall, with a lollipop in his mouth, he seemed to be in a daze.

but……

Just when Zhao Zitong was about to look away, He Shen seemed to wake up and turned his gaze to Zhao Zitong.

The two looked at each other, He Shen slightly nodded at Zhao Zitong, his mouth trembling slightly.

Although Zhao Zitong couldn't understand what He Shen was saying, she could clearly understand what He Shen meant to her.

Come on!

Zhao Zitong immediately felt a sense of warmth from He Shen, nodded suddenly, and his eyes lit up suddenly.

What are you afraid of now?My teacher is standing there, encouraging me.

Others are helpless here, but I am not, I have a teacher here!
Although, the pressure in my heart will be a little bit greater, and I will feel that if I can't play well, I will be sorry for the teacher...

but!

Zhao Zitong's gaze gradually became firm, and she turned her gaze away to the piano.

Everyone else is like an isolated island. In this room, I feel lonely.

As for myself, I was taken care of by my teacher, and my teacher came to cheer me on in person!
So, in this case, when I have such a big advantage over others...

What else is there to be nervous about?What else is there to worry about?

No, there's nothing to worry about here!
How deep is behind her!
and so……

Zhao Zitong immediately nodded seriously to the staff standing aside.

"start!"

click...

The staff pressed their fingers, and the tape recorder started working immediately.

Zhao Zitong also raised his hand at this moment, and said calmly to the piano in front of him.

"Beethoven, Pastoral Sonata, first movement..."

After the words fell, Zhao Zitong raised his hand and placed it on the left side of the keyboard, about one centimeter high.

The hand, stagnant in the air, waited for a while, and while relying on the gravity of the arm, the wrist fell down with a slight pullback.

The sound slammed, and the sound, like the pulse of the earth, slowly vibrated.

bang... bang... bang...

Three vibrations sounded, and the earth began to wake up.

The air of the earth, at this moment, explodes!
With Zhao Zitong's right hand, the melody of the high-pitched part emerges from the piano against the backdrop of the atmosphere of the earth.

Bang... bang bang... when...

While the main chord rhythm is extremely clear, the bass part is also the same, it does not die out, but stays in the bass part very stubbornly.

this voice...

The two staff members standing there, as well as the staff member responsible for calling the number, were originally playing with their phones with their heads down.

When he heard the music, he was taken aback for a moment, raised his head slightly puzzled, and looked at Zhao Zitong.

This begins...

interesting……

No, not interesting, but, very interesting!
this kid...

Those who stand here are basically students, students in universities.

When they look at the students who have not been admitted to the university, they will naturally look down.

but!

The person in front of them, Zhao Zitong's performance, made them completely unable to have the slightest feeling of looking down. They were not worthy of looking down on this work.

Therefore, they began to look at Zhao Zitong squarely, and looked at Zhao Zitong with an equal attitude!
Her performance is very powerful.

The feeling of this music is completely up!
In the pastoral land, in the morning, the air that has just risen from the earth is extremely cool.

The feeling of the rising sun in the distance...

Obviously, she can already pop up a little sense of the picture.

At this age, at this strength...

Several staff members glanced at each other, didn't say anything, but continued to read.

Now it's just the beginning. If it's just the beginning, it's useless.

If you can play well at the back, then it is really good!
So, read on.

Everyone quietly waited for Zhao Zitong to continue playing, and Zhao Zitong did not disappoint anyone.

Her hand was on the keyboard of the piano.

Although it is not particularly large, it is particularly solid.

All the sounds are extremely calm.

Bang...

The chord was played, and everyone was taken aback again.

this chord...

No, this is no longer a chord!

Zhao Zitong used her four fingers to press four completely different forces and four completely different timbres!
this is……

The sound of a string quartet!

hum...

The tone changed rapidly, and everyone was taken aback again.

Wait, the string quartet in this place turned into a wind quartet? ?
this place……

Everyone didn't know what to say for a while, their eyes trembled.

The timbre changes very naturally, and this change in timbre deserves special praise.

Then the following content, especially this sense of band, is simply amazing.

At the beginning, it was the pizzicato of the double bass, dialing out the deep bass.

Then came the strings, building the timbre of the rising sun.

Then, the string quartet creates an idyllic environment.

The wind quartet narrates the beauty of the countryside.

This is just a piano, this is obviously just a piano!

Why... actually created the sound effect of a symphony orchestra!

This is the legend, is she a band by herself?

Everyone was silent, but their bodies were completely frozen, staring at Zhao Zitong, not knowing how far she could go.

The previous frontal gaze gradually turned into upward gaze, and they could only look up to Zhao Zitong!
Head-up?I don't deserve it...

As far as this level is concerned, if there is no one in the school, people can have it!
Many people have heard this piece of Beethoven's pastoral, and even many people have played it.

However, not many people can play this piece particularly well.

Therefore, their most normal attitude towards this piece of work is to stay away from it.

If you can't play Beethoven, then don't play Beethoven.

Those who play Beethoven very well in school are among the best.

Liszt played well?Pure technical flow, even though he is a great god, that's it.

Chopin played well?It can barely be regarded as a big brother, after all, the musicality of Chopin's works is much better than that of Liszt in the early stage.

Music Music, if it's just pure technology, where does the music come from?

So, if you play Beethoven well, then you are definitely a genius!
In Beethoven's works, there are fewer technical difficulties than those in the later Romantic period, but at the same time, he pays more attention to musical things.

Now, the piece in front of everyone, Beethoven's "Pastoral" sonata, is like this.

Musical, very strong.

The sense of picture is very strong.

Technical, very strong.

A little girl, about 17 years old, can play like this?

This is so 17 years old?

Everyone was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say.

There are 17-year-old bosses, but shouldn't the bosses in this situation be preparing for foreign exams?

What are you still fussing about in this small pond in China?
Really are……

Everyone felt a little aggrieved for a moment, not knowing what to say about Zhao Zitong.

Zhao Zitong didn't know what other people were thinking. Her expression was very serious, and she put all her attention on her music.

Feel everything brought by your own music.

Music must make everyone feel beautiful, this is called music...

and so……

Zhao Zitong's aura gradually rose. Although she was still very weak, like a candle in the wind, she had already begun to have a little bit of aura.

With her extremely serious performance, everything in the music, under her performance, looks more and more beautiful.

Presentation department, development department, reproduction department...

The three parts of the sonata, and the music in each part, are particularly beautiful.

Moreover, there is such a trace of flavor that belongs to Zhao Zitong in it.

Just like He Shen's music, as long as He Shen plays, those who have heard He Shen's performance will know that this work is played by He Shen.

Now, Zhao Zitong also has a tendency to look like this.

Her aura is integrated into her music, thus forming...

Her own music!
The people around began to feel a little numb. Looking at Zhao Zitong, they really didn't know what to say for a while.

There is such a person who can play music of this level.

This is too...

Is it too foul?
Why?She is an ordinary student who came to take the art test!
This kind of big guy doesn't go to fight foreigners, what's the matter with coming to the country?There are enough volumes in China, how about volume?

The three students wanted to cry, but soon, they returned to normal.

Students like this will most likely not go to Jiangzhou Normal University Conservatory of Music to intervene with them, but will go to other conservatories, state-level conservatories.

At that time, let the freshmen of the state-level conservatories experience the fear of being swept up by the big devil!

Thinking of this, they couldn't help laughing, as if they could already imagine the inhuman appearance of those freshmen being beaten by Zhao Zitong.

but……

They just saw Zhao Zitong's current level of toughness, they didn't know at all...

Four months ago, that is, in August, Zhao Zitong was a student who didn't even memorize the piano score completely.

No matter which teacher gives this kind of student, it is impossible to be willing to take it.

But He Shen took it, and also let Zhao Zitong gradually walk out of the family relationship.

As a result, her talent, which had been suppressed all along, was gradually released.

Coupled with her nearly ten hours of practice every day, she can naturally achieve this result.

Talent, coupled with the efforts of almost everyone, if you still can't succeed, then it's too introverted.

He Shen watched Zhao Zitong's performance and nodded silently.

As far as the many students he has heard just now, Zhao Zitong's level can already be regarded as the most eye-catching one among these students.

It's not because Zhao Zitong is his student that he said that, but Zhao Zitong is really close to reaching this level.

If she came to Jiangzhou Normal University's Conservatory of Music, she might be the second Ji Mengting!

Maybe even stronger than Ji Mengting!
Thinking of this, He Shen couldn't help shaking his head, got up, carefully opened the door of the examination room, and walked outside.

However, as far as he feels, no matter how much Zhao Zitong wants to study at the Conservatory of Music of Jiangzhou Normal University, Xi Shuwen will not agree.

I don't know why, it's just a feeling...

He Shen wobbled back to his piano room, sat on the sofa, his eyes gradually became empty, and he played music in his mind.

On the other hand, Zhao Zitong played harder on the piano, trying to make the music perfect!
at last!

She came to the end.

After two chords, she didn't just let go of her hand, but closed her eyes.

Feel the sensation of the music dissipating in the air.

After the music completely dissipated, she let go of her hand, and nodded to the person in charge of the recording.

"The performance is over."

click...

The recording stopped, Zhao Zitong got up and looked towards the corner.

At some point, He Shen had already left.

Looking at the empty corner, Zhao Zitong couldn't help but feel a little lost, but soon, she put away this loss, went to the staff, and picked up all her ID cards.

Go back to the door, put on your clothes, pick up your belongings, bow to the staff in the room and leave the examination room.

At the door, the very nervous little girl saw Zhao Zitong coming out, immediately waved her hand vigorously, covered her mouth and asked in a low voice.

"Hey, how's it going? How do you feel about playing?"

Zhao Zitong did not answer, but looked at the aisle leading to the opposite building, as if he could see He Shen in the piano room through the wall.

For some reason, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she nodded to the little girl.

"feel good?"
