musicians of old

Chapter 8 Final Score

The applause from the professors finally brought the audience back to their senses, and thunderous applause and applause broke out in the auditorium.

Especially the musicology majors on the rear side.

Their palms were flushed, and their voices were hoarse.

A few girls completely disregarded the image of an elegant lady, stood up, used their hands as "horns", and shouted loudly towards the stage.

"Caron!"

"Carolne Van Ning!!!"

"Amazing! ~~~~~"

"Good job!!"

This guy Calvin was the most exaggerated. He stepped on the armrest of the seat, climbed up, sat down on the backrest, and waved the black silk top hat he just bought vigorously, making his voice so loud.

The music major is usually really aggrieved.

Many people hold the prejudice that musicology has lowered the entry threshold for music majors.

For many outstanding performance students, their families have provided them with good art education since they were young, guaranteed the purchase of top-level musical instruments, and laid a solid foundation.

As for those geniuses who compose or conduct?They have a small band at home, or even an entire symphony orchestra, so that he can practice his creations at any time and get instant feedback.

These are to "burn money"!

As for students majoring in musicology, others have the impression that they are a group of guys engaged in the so-called "theoretical research on music itself", who are separated from the mainstream performances and competitions of the college, and can only read aloud on defense occasions His incomprehensible thesis.

Their presence in the annual graduation concert is extremely low.

It happened to be placed in the third group of the grade together with the composition department and the conducting department, and was disciplined by the "outstanding person" for four years in college.

But this time, Fan Ning's performance on stage made them completely elated!

There is also a more realistic point: if Fanning's symphony can be selected in the end, the author has a considerable say in the choice of musicians for the premiere of his work!

From the bottom of their hearts, they were excited for Fanning, and for themselves.

The applause still didn't stop.

Fan Ning, who finished bowing at the front of the stage, raised his head. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Team Leader Ram Cecil, who was sitting in the first row on the side, with a face as if he had eaten rat feces.

He thought of the situation in the morning when he was in danger and had important things to do, but he was rejected when he asked for leave, and thought to himself:
"Leader Cecil, I'm forced to open the business, you beg me to beat you hard, isn't it comfortable now?
"Carolne Van Ning, thank you for bringing us this auditory feast." Dean Gould said, "What I want to ask is, is it really what you just created?"

Fanning smiled, just about to speak.

"I want to interrupt, I'm sorry Dean, I held back for several minutes, I was so excited." Deputy Dean Xu Ci stood up: "Fan Ning, whether this work comes from your live inspiration or from the previous As long as you organize it and submit it to the selection of small works, I will definitely let it appear in the graduation concert."

"Because it is a well-deserved masterpiece of Romantic music."

"Okay, I'm done." Professor Xu Ci sat down immediately.

Dean Gould smiled when he heard the words: "Although by convention, each student can perform at most one piece of work, there seems to be no express rule that multiple pieces cannot be accepted at the same time." Then he asked the other judges, "What do you think?"

The first deputy dean and Cecil's composition teacher Professor Lorraine Browne said in an old voice and indifferent tone: "It depends on the comprehensive opinions of each judge and the actual performance in the next few rounds."

"Dear professors, just like I chose the black envelope, what I hope to bring to you at the graduation concert is a symphony." Fanning finally seized the opportunity to speak.

"Fanning, we respect your choice, but please at least choose a name for today's piano piece." The dean said, "We don't want to hear it only this time, it should be played and appreciated frequently, Right everyone?"

Almost all the judges agreed, and even those in the audience were nodding along.

"It comes from some fantasy and inspiration in today's improvisation test, let's call it "Fantasia Impromptu"." Fanning said.

"Fantasia Impromptu. Good name. By the way, we forgot to announce the score." Gould laughed. "Carolne Van Ning, your final average score is-"

"18.8 points!"

"It's too high. It's almost a full point higher than Muric in the piano department!"

"No one should be able to surpass it."

The audience burst into amazement again.

Obviously, most of the judges gave full marks or almost full marks, except for the lukewarm first deputy dean Professor Lorraine Brownie.

But he couldn't suppress the score below the passing line against his will, so he created the final average result.

Among the 20 points in the initial test, Fan Ning already has a certain advantage.

According to the practice of the college, the annual graduation concert will be held a few weeks earlier than the graduation ceremony in June, around late May.In the afternoon, there is a chamber music field, and in the evening, there is a more important symphony field. Both performances are performed in the first half of student works and in the second half of master works.

Restricted by the duration of the concert, about 5 small works are selected and about 15 are nominated; for large works, only 1 is selected and 3 are nominated.

Fanning put on his gloves and walked off the stage.

"Student Callon, do you have the score of "Fantasia Impromptu", I want to practice." A girl in a blue dress approached and asked with a shy voice.

"I also want."

"I want too."

"I'll practice right away when I get back."

"What are you waiting for, rely on it to perform well at the next family gathering."

"I'm going to use it to pursue the school girl I like." The boys and girls around me chattered, and some of them looked down on music majors and students majoring in performance.

This fully shows that good music is the key to moving people.

"Don't worry, everyone. I will share it with you after I get home and tidy up." Fan Ning replied politely.

"Callon, will you publish "Fantasia Impromptu" under your official opus number?"

"Student Fan Ning, who will you dedicate it to?"

More and more people gathered around the auditorium corridor on this side.

"Ahem." Fan Ning cleared his throat in embarrassment, "Everyone, we will communicate later, there are still students who need to be tested."

"That's right, that's right, I'm really sorry." Everyone woke up like a dream.

In the next test, probably due to the excessive shock and psychological pressure caused by Fanning's previous performance, everyone's performance was mediocre, and there were not even a few scores higher than No. 1 Maugham.

Cecil, the leader of the Composition Department, is numbered 17, which is relatively late. After he took the stage, he drew a set of bass sequences consisting of 8 notes, improvised a variation including the theme and three fixed bass variations, and got the The score of 17.7 is 0.2 lower than that of the head of the Piano Department, Murridge.

If his number could be drawn ahead of Fanning, or if he kept a good attitude and made no mistakes during the performance, he should have won the second place.

Cecil, who came down from the stage, sat in the auditorium, his chest heaving and falling for a long time before he calmed down.

He flashed Vincent Van Nin with that guy's always tall, constipated face, and the Turner Museum in East Mecklen, which had been on display for over a decade. Popularity, word-of-mouth of art reviews, and quality of activities overwhelm its own Freedom Museum in Mecklen.

Fortunately, three years ago, this annoying guy disappeared while participating in the 39th Harvest Art Festival!Most of them died suddenly due to accidental traffic accidents or public security incidents in foreign countries, or contracted some severe infectious diseases during the period!

Cecil's family has many councilors in the local councils of Lenia District, East Mecklen District and South Pier District. The Mecklen Freedom Museum is one of the family's cultural industries.After Fanning's father disappeared, the museum successfully accelerated the closure of the Turner Museum of Art by excluding exhibitors, intercepting audiences, malicious comments and complaints, and interfering with collection auctions.

He recalled so far, and finally showed a sneer.

"It is not surprising that the re-examination is chamber music writing, which needs to be evaluated by the entire Uvransal music world in the new works exhibition hall of the City Concert Hall."

Although he thinks highly of himself, he knows that he ranked third in the first test, and the fact that he is more than 3 point behind has been confirmed. Negative emotions are useless. The next thing that needs to be carefully prepared is the next test.

"I'm bound to get the chance to premiere "The First Symphony". Work...? Network?...Influence?...I really want to see how you compare with me in the re-examination?"
