Which of the following applicants is likely to be accepted?
Beijing(Xinhua)-Blind Chinese pianist Sun Yan, 23, will give a concert at the People’s Liberation Army(PLA)Theatre in downtown Beijing.
Sun, a student at the well-known China Central Conservatory of Music, was born with cataracts(白内障), which caused him to become blind.He started learning to play the piano when he was three years old and immediately gained acclaim(喝彩)as a piano virtuoso at the age of six.
Guo Shulan, head of the CCCM, said Sun was the first blind student the school had ever received in its half-century history.The well-known piano teacher, Yang Jun, taught Sun personally and found him to be greatly talented and strongly determined.
At his concert, Sun will play a dozen masterpieces by composers, such as Bach, Beethoven and Chopin.
“Common piano players may have a look at these long and difficult musical pieces while playing, but Sun would have to spend a much, much longer time to fully memorize a piece of music.” Yan said.“He plays the piano for at least six hours every day.”
With painstaking effort for the past few years.Sun achieved very good grades at school and also gained an audience worldwide.He was invited to visit dozens of countries and regions and even performed at top theatres such as Caregie Hall in the United States.
Top fashion brand Mark Fairwhale and piano manufacturer Bosendorfrr will offer Sun a financial support fund and the use of piano, respectively.The PLA Theatre will also provide him technical support and a stage setting design free of charge.Three schoolmates of Sun’s who were also pianists, for winning top prizes in international competitions, will be guest performers at the concert.
Expecting to graduate with a bachelor degree in paino next year, Sun has applied to study for a master’s degree.
“Music changes people’s lives.I hope I can continue to study the piano for the rest of my life,” Sun said.
