Chapter 222 217. In the summer of 2018, travelers return

International Flute Competition in Farrenber, Italy.

Together with the Paris International Flute Competition and the Kobe International Flute Competition in Japan, it is also known as the three top flute competitions in the world.

It is held every four years.

The last one was in 2018.

When the spring semester started after the Spring Festival of 2018, the first teacher-student dinner of the Xiao family class was held in the private room of Yale. At that time, Teacher Xiao announced after the meal:

‘This summer, the Chinese regional preliminaries for Fallen Bell will be held in our school. At that time, Professor Debst will be sent by the organizer to our competition area to serve as the chief judge.’

Teacher Xiao announced this news to his graduate students.

Among the people present at that time, even if some had not heard of Debst's name, no one knew about the Fallen Bell Flute Competition.

This is one of the largest competitions in the international flute world.

The players who can go to Italy to participate in offline competitions every time are elite players from all over the world.

So most undergraduates just listen to it for fun.

Because they know that they are still far from reaching the threshold of this competition.

Only their graduate students and seniors can give it a try.

But as undergraduates, some people don’t think so.

She was Chen Xiaomi’s classmate at that time.

In fact, when Chen Xuan was still in junior high school, she watched the video of the Fallen Bell Flute Competition under the guidance of her cousin.

At that time, she didn't know what kind of competition it was, but she just thought the people in the video played really well.

Her cousin encouraged her and said: "As long as Xiaoxuan works hard to practice the flute now, she can be on this stage in the future."

Just like that, her curiosity about this stage was like a seed, buried in her middle school years.

Later, when she got older, she also learned that the video she had watched back then was actually the final stage of the 8th Falenberg Flute Competition.

But the seeds have already been planted.

So when she heard Teacher Xiao said that the preliminaries would be held at Hua Guo Yuan, she had the idea of ​​participating.

At that time, Chen Xuan was just a second-year undergraduate classmate.

The day after the meal, Xiao Hongxia sent the competition regulations to the group and named four graduate students to take the time to practice the preliminaries.

The scores posted in the group can naturally be seen by every member of the Xiao family group.

Chen Xuan went to the school's print shop in the morning to print out the two qualifying songs, and began to practice secretly in the afternoon.

Some classmates heard that Chen Xuan was also practicing this piece, and they just thought it was Chen Xuan playing it for fun.

But in a professional class three months later, when she played two complete pieces of music to Xiao Hongxia, Xiao Hongxia asked her which senior brother and sister she had lessons with? She shook her head and said that she had practiced them all by herself.

Then Xiao Hongxia was shocked.

Among the two works, there was a modern piece written for a competition. She got the score and studied it for a week before starting to teach the graduate students.

Chen Xuan played the modern piece entirely on her own without any guidance from anyone.

And it can also interpret the essence of individual paragraphs.

She knew that Chen Xuan was extremely talented, but she didn't expect it to be this high.

"Do you want to participate in this competition?"

"Teacher Xiao, can I participate?"

Chen Xuan, who was still holding the silver flute head at that time, felt her palms sweating nervously.

Xiao Hongxia thought about it for a week and finally did not agree.

Afterwards, Sun Yuman asked Teacher Chen Xuanxiao why he disagreed. Chen Xuan said that the teacher wanted me to settle down again.

That is to say, after this failed attempt to participate in the competition, Chen Xuan's heart became more immersed, and her whole body and mind completely entered the world of the flute.

Just when she thought this competition had nothing to do with her, the appearance of a person made her heart fly further away.

Debst, known as the competition coach in the French flute education community.

One day in mid-August, Debst came to the Huaguo Conservatory of Music with an invitation from Fallenbel.

As the head of the foreign judging panel for this Chinese competition, Debst's week-long job not only has to serve as a judge, but also provides a series of master classes for the competition.

It was during his master class that he discovered a girl who was different.

With her beauty, tenacity, smart eyes, and elegant temperament, the music she plays is so personal, just like the silvery moonlight, which can turn into the cold wind over the ice sheet in an instant.

At that moment, Debst had only one thought in his mind: he must tell the little girl everything he knew about the flute.

Some people are destined to play the flute.

Just like Chen Xuan in Debst’s eyes on the master class stage at the Huaguo Conservatory of Music in the summer of 2018.

Wearing blue jeans, a white T-shirt, and long hair shawl exposing her ears, the leader of the family is a young girl, standing tall and graceful, holding a flute in her hand, her eyes twinkling with curiosity.

This master class was held during the summer vacation, and Xiao Hongxia notified Chen Xuan one week in advance.

"You must come."

Even if Xiao Hongxia didn't say anything, Chen Xuan would definitely go.

The flute competition held every four years makes people feel happy just by looking at it.

In 2018, Chen Xuan spent the most unique summer vacation in her life accompanied by Song Lian.

After seeing the style of several foreign masters and hearing the stories of the flute world on the other side of the earth, another seed was planted.

When Debst came to China again in 2019, Chen Xuan was already a junior.

In her junior year, she had fewer classes, and she only did one thing in the whole year -

Lock yourself in the piano room.

So when Debst sat under the stage again and watched Chen Xuan's performance, he thought the time was ripe.

One is working hard to enter a higher learning hall, and the other is traveling around the world to find talents.

When Chen Xuan learned from Xiao Hongxia that Debster wanted to accept her as a student, she felt that her life was about to begin.

As for the rest of the story, there is no need to say more.

-

Fast forward four years, and now there is no girlish look in Chen Xuan.

Sitting next to Teacher Xiao, she is the senior sister of Xiao's class. She is a mature woman and a flute teacher who makes friends with children.

But when she heard the words Falunbel again, she felt her heart twitch for the first time.

"There are still more than half a year left. Students who want to participate should stop playing during this winter vacation, and don't think about the New Year. Start preparing."

Teacher Xiao's voice fell.

The dinner table suddenly became lively.

No different than back then, today’s children are becoming more and more lively.

The teacher’s ideas are not like those back then, and now undergraduates can also sign up to participate.

Back then, when Teacher Xiao was talking to four senior brothers and sisters about preparing for the competition, the undergraduate students in the private room did not dare to breathe.

Listening to Chen Xuan's eyes looking at an undergraduate junior sister, others were discussing eagerly, but this junior sister looked around blankly.

The junior sister saw the senior sister's gaze and thought that the senior sister was encouraging her to join, so she quickly smiled and looked away.

Then Chen Xuan also smiled.

She was sitting in that position back then, picking at the coriander in the noodle bowl and peeking at the nervous graduate students.

"Come on over!"

As the door of the private room was opened, twelve bowls of Sanhe Oil Noodles were brought in by the waiter.

Each person has a small bowl, and finally fills the stomach. After finishing the meal, the meal ends here.

-

After saying goodbye to her junior brothers and sisters, Chen Xuan finally sent Xiao Hongxia home.

On the way, the master and apprentice talked about what happened back then. Although she heard that Chen Xuan was living a happy life now, she still felt a little regretful.

"Xiaoxuan, are you still practicing the flute?"

"I practice occasionally."

"Your boyfriend doesn't urge you, so he doesn't dare."
