Chengdu, Wenjue District Youth Palace.

A large number of teenagers gathered in the aisle and rest area of ​​the Youth Palace, most of them holding various musical instruments, trumpets, violins, saxophones...

Today is the musical instrument level examination of the China Musicians Association. Everyone's face is full of excitement and nervousness. They want to find a relatively remote corner and practice the repertoire that will be tested today.

But piano candidates like Zhao An and Ji Jiashu couldn't bring their pianos.However, the one or two pianos in the youth palace were already packed, Zhao An didn't want to join in the fun, so he rested on a chair beside him.

Ji Jiashu was originally led by his teacher, but when he saw Zhao An staying there alone, he ran over to accompany Zhao An.

Ji Jiashu is very nervous now, Zhao An is keenly aware of this.

Because Ji Jiashu, who is usually with him, always has endless interesting stories, but now he has not spoken to him for a full 10 minutes.

Ji Jiashu, who was nervous, was very cute, sitting on a chair with his back straight, and then looked at the piano room without saying a word.It's just that there is no focus in the eyes.

Seeing Ji Jiashu like this, Zhao An was secretly happy in his heart.However, it was impossible for Zhao An to let such Ji Jiashu ignore him, he took the initiative to call out to Ji Jiashu: "Little tree, little tree?"

After calling Ji Jiashu's nickname several times in a row, Ji Jiashu turned his head in a daze and replied, "Ah? What's wrong with Zhao An."

"Xiaoshu, don't be too nervous. Just take the usual exams. Don't you do well in every exam?" Zhao An was trying to comfort Ji Jiashu.

"But I have never experienced a piano grade test, so I don't know what will happen inside." Ji Jiashu replied honestly, a little nervous because it was the first time he had experienced it.Things like math exams, but I got used to it.

According to his vague memory, Zhao An described the content of the grade test to Ji Jiashu.Even though 20 years have passed, Zhao An still vividly remembers his first piano exam.

"Go in, tell the judges what pieces you want to play, and then you can play directly in front of the piano. Moreover, you can't see the teacher when you are playing the piano, as long as you pay attention It's fine on the piano."

The piano grading test is generally divided into three parts, namely basic exercises, skill exercises and repertoire performance.Each module has several different tracks.But during the exam, you only need to choose one basic exercise, one skill exercise and two piano pieces.

Therefore, after entering the examination room, candidates need to introduce their examination repertoire to the examiner first.

"Then what should we do if we make a mistake?" Ji Jiashu's uneasiness still existed.

"In the past week, haven't we made any mistakes in our performance? Just play according to the usual feeling. If there are mistakes in one or two bars due to finger problems, then don't worry about anything, just play directly Just go down."

Whether it is in the process of grading or performance, the most feared thing is not to make a mistake, but to be afraid that a mistake will affect all subsequent performances.

Zhao Anlu spoke out all his experience in the piano grading test one after another, babbling, not at all like his usual taciturn manner.

Under Zhao An's nagging, Ji Jiashu became more and more relaxed, and the admiration for Zhao An became more and more obvious in his eyes.Obviously it is the first exam like myself, but I don't worry at all, I have a plan in my chest.

I have to be like Zhao An, Ji Jiashu set a goal for himself in his heart.First of all, you can't be stage fright in the upcoming exam.

"Candidate No. 117, Ji Jiashu, grade eight."

The Musical Instrument Grade Examination of the Chinese Musicians Association is an amateur grade exam, which is divided into ten grades.There is no need to take the test grades one by one, but it is not an arbitrary choice.

To put it simply, candidates can pass Level [-] to Level [-] in the first exam, but Level [-] and Level [-] require a Level [-] certificate to register.

Zhao An's level naturally needs no explanation, and Ji Jiashu's one-year hard practice plus Ji Jiashu's own talent fully possesses the level of eighth level.So the two directly reported for the eighth level assessment. [1]

And there is a separate classroom for each level assessment, so the two don't need to be separated.

The staff's voice sounded in the corridor, and Ji Jiashu stood up from the chair in an instant.

No way, nervousness is not something that can be completely overcome, but Ji Jiashu's state at this time is obviously much better than before.

Zhao An kept sending Ji Jiashu to the door of the classroom, anyway, Zhao An was next.

A basic etude, a skill etude plus piano pieces for both hands will take about ten to 15 minutes.

Moreover, Zhao An chose the same piano piece as Ji Jiashu, and he could accurately estimate the speed at which Ji Jiashu played the piano.

Ji Jiashu had already walked into the classroom just now, according to Ji Jiashu's speaking speed and the self-introduction he had practiced just now. "Good morning, judges, my name is Ji Jiashu. My assessment repertoire is..."

Then Ji Jiashu should start playing, and sure enough, the sound of the piano came from the classroom.Even though the sound of the piano was inaudible due to the sound insulation wall and the distance, Zhao An was sure that it was Ji Jiashu who started playing the piano.

At this moment, Zhao An's hands placed on both sides of his body also danced out of thin air, as if there were black and white piano keys under Zhao An's fingers.

No one knew that the movements of Zhao An and Ji Jiashu in the classroom were almost completely overlapped, even every crescendo and decrescendo, free extension, and vibrato were almost completely overlapped.

It can be said that Ji Jiashu learned the piano under the guidance and company of Zhao An.This is different from Zhao An's imitation of those famous piano masters' repertoire in his previous life. He is really too familiar with Ji Jiashu's way and preference of playing the piano.

In this way, Ji Jiashu and Zhao An, who were inside and outside the classroom, pressed the last key at the same time, and it was only at this moment that Zhao An breathed a sigh of relief.

Because Zhao An knew that although Ji Jiashu was a little nervous, the beat of some long notes was not enough, but overall he didn't make any mistakes.There shouldn't be any problems with Ji Jiashu's assessment.

Zhao An found that he was living like an old mother, and he had never seen himself so nervous before.

Just as Zhao An was laughing at himself, Ji Jiashu had already walked out of the classroom.The nervousness just now has been replaced by joy. As a pianist, Ji Jiashu is also very clear that he has not made any mistakes in his playing.

According to the piano teacher, as long as you don't make mistakes, you can pass.

Before the two could say a few words, the staff shouted:

"Candidate No. 118, Zhao An, exam grade eighth."

Because both of them were registered by Ji Jiashu's piano teacher, and they both took the eighth grade, so the order was also arranged together.

Zhao An showed a reassuring smile towards Ji Jiashu, and Ji Jiashu said to Zhao An: "Come on!"

Standing in front of the judges, Zhao An briefly explained himself: "Hello, judges, my name is Zhao An, and my repertoire is "Arpeggio of Seventh Chords", "Moszkowski", "Three Parts Inventions" ", "Songs Without Words in E Major"."

Zhao An originally thought that he would not suffer from stage fright, but when he actually stood in front of these judges, he realized that he was not as brave and fearless as he imagined.

The few judges in the audience are definitely not as good as the previous Zhao An in terms of piano.But Zhao An saw Gilbert in them, saw his graduate tutor, and saw the audience or fans when he performed.

Zhao An used to be a person who cared a lot about other people's evaluation. If he couldn't do it perfectly, he would practice it over and over again until he didn't make a single mistake.

The result was that no matter how hard Zhao An tried, he still failed to achieve a satisfactory result.Criticism from the classical music world has become a demon in Zhao An's heart, and he alone cannot break through it no matter what.

But he is as strong as Zhao An by nature, he never confides in anyone, he can only bury all his resentment in his heart...

If in the previous life, I worked harder, wouldn't I...

"Okay, you can start playing."

The words of a female judge pulled Zhao An back from all kinds of emotions.Zhao Anshen took a deep breath and came to the piano.

Zhao An, who was supposed to directly play the repertoire for the grade examination, subconsciously played an arpeggio practice, as usual to make sure that there is no problem with the piano sound.However, this arpeggio exercise is not a repertoire within the scope of the assessment.

"Examinee, please don't be nervous."

Thinking that Zhao An played the repertoire because of nervousness, but he could feel Zhao An's basic level of piano, the judges reminded him again.

But what Zhao An, who touched the keys just now, was thinking: Ji Jiashu just played here, how can I be as useless as Ji Xiaoshu?

Thinking of Zhao An who was Ji Jiashu, those strange and impetuous thoughts just disappeared.

There is no audience, no judges, no one to praise and criticize, only the piano in front of you.

The fingers are attached to the keys, and the individual notes are combined into a beautiful melody under Zhao An's hands.Not a single mistake, no rush or delay.And because of Zhao An's practice in the past six months, the strength of his hands and ten fingers has also increased significantly, and the four piano pieces have been played perfectly.

The judges have heard countless candidates play the exam repertoire in the past two days, but there is indeed no student who can match the candidate No. 118 in front of him, not even the last candidate.

This is definitely a level that can only be achieved after repeated, high-intensity practice.

Logically speaking, the judges cannot comment on the candidates on the spot, but yet another judge couldn't help but clapped his hands and said: "The performances are all very good, without the slightest mistake, come on."

Zhao An got up to thank the judges, and then walked out of the examination room.

It was naturally Ji Jiashu's smile that greeted Zhao An. Zhao An walked over and joked, "Why don't you ask me how the result is?"

Ji Jiashu's smile remained undiminished, and he replied naturally: "Is there even a need to ask? Of course it's a perfect performance!"

This is Ji Jiashu's unconditional trust in Zhao An, Zhao An is omnipotent, isn't it just a small piano grade test, naturally he can do it with his hands.

"It's almost there."

The results of the piano grade assessment will not be announced until one month later, and there is no point for the two of them to stay any longer. After bidding farewell to Ji Jiashu's piano teacher, they left directly.

But the two will meet again tomorrow, because tomorrow is the day when the Sixth Middle School announces the results of the entrance examination.The other two schools had already announced that both of them had top grades, but Zhao An's favorite was No. [-] Middle School.
