♫ On the surface of the shimmering sea ♫

♫ Blocked by the navy blue sea ♫

♫ It doesn’t matter; time will not be forgotten ♫

♫ My mask is torn; you met me ♫

♫ Wings were burnt by promises ♫

♫ But my faith does not cease ♫

♫ Clowns can still sing proudly among ridicule ♫

♫ My longing is bound by your gaze ♫

♫ Sweat severs the doubt to move forward ♫

[Symphony's Romance]
♫ And it doesn't matter to me ♫

Sound! Every second, every minute of life is filled with sound.

As soon as you open your eyes, sound soon floods into your ears.

The pitch may rise and fall, cause excitement, or pause and transition.

It's like listening to a symphony ensemble.

But some sounds are so chaotic, undisciplined, and playful

that they only deserve to be called noise.

The reason music is an art is because of its elegance and purity.

So the way I see it, whether it's music or life,

blemishes are never permitted.

Of course, there are occasional accidents.

What are you doing?

My name is Li Zhenyan, a student in the piano department of the Mario Paci Conservatory of Music.

If you say piano is a part of my life,

then you might say that conducting is my entire life.

The famous conductor, Maestro Wayn, once agreed to take me as his pupil.

I firmly believe that with faith and conviction, I can carry forward my dream of becoming a conductor.

I want to use the baton in my hand to release the most hot-blooded and unforgettable feelings of youth.

I want the whole world to hear the sounds I want to convey.

I want Maestro Wayn to see me on stage and feel proud of me.

However, these unrealistic dreams have been put on hold.

I'm doomed to be stranded in this place with no hot-bloodedness and no stage.

Listening to the sounds and notes around me that don't have the least bit of vitality...

while my dreams are gradually getting further and further away.

[COMMAND]
[A Group Conductor Selection Trial]

Faster, faster, even faster!

Steady and fast! Faster, faster!

Even faster, faster.

Faster, faster!

Stop!

Enough! Very good.

Have you received the notice to play a solo at the concert for the school founding anniversary?

In the whole school, there's only one spot. That's for you!

You are the most outstanding piano student in the department.

Remember to do your best for me.

["I Need You"]

What is this?

The concert will soon be staged, what are you doing with this score?

A student in the piano department isn't working on piano but studying scores instead.

Do you really think you'll be successful?

I understand.

You want to be a conductor.

Li Zhenyan, let me remind you.

Your piano playing isn't even that great and you still want to be a conductor?

You're putting your future prospects on the line.

Also, you think if you wear a white shirt

and have an artist's hairstyle, you can become a conductor. Is that right?

Li Zhenyan, I'm warning you!

- Don't forget the hopes your father has for you—
- Enough!

You boast that you're the number one teacher at this school.

From morning to night, you only know about speed and nothing else. Is that music?

Second, whether I study conducting or look at a conductor's score is my own business, you don't need to concern yourself with it.

Third, don't ever mention my father in front of me again.

Are you finished?

If you're finished, then get out.

Get out!

Li Zhenyan, you don't need to come to my class anymore!

You're such a disappointment to me!

Mozart's Piano Sonata, K. 333.

Such chaotic playing is simply "Les Misérables."
(TN: means misery, also a famous French historical novel)

No, wait!

Even though it's chaotic, there are no mistakes.

And how is it that it sounds so good?

Caiwei?

[Let's Rock]

How did you do this? Not to mention that you've ruined your chance to play a solo at the anniversary concert,

you also fell out with Teacher Zhang.

It doesn't matter! That's my business.

I'm just worried about you.

This is my own choice, I don't need anyone else to criticize me.

Okay.

What's this?

An application to transfer departments.

Haven't you always wanted to transfer to the Conducting Department and become a conductor?

As your partner, this is the last thing I can do for you.

It's no use! No matter how hard I work at this school,

if I don't perform on European stages, everything else will be pointless.

You're just making excuses.

Right now, you're standing in the same place and staring at your own suffering.

You just don't have the courage to pursue your dreams.

If you go on like this, you won't even see the shadow of your dreams.

I have my own path laid out for me and I have my own choices.

My teacher is Wayn! Some day, I'll study conducting under him. That's my choice!

Fine! Then you can go find him now.

I've booked a ticket to Vienna for you.

If you really have the courage, go find him now.

Mom! Mom!

If you don't move forward, no one will stand here, waiting for you.

Right now, you're standing in the same place.

You just don't have the courage to pursue your dreams.

If you go on like this, you won't even see the shadow of your dreams.

If you don't move forward, no one will stand here, waiting for you.

Maestro Wayn, would you take me as your student

when I return from Paris?

Yes, sure!

You're already my student.

It's a deal!

Do you want this gift?

- To me?
- Yes, for you!

Thank you very much.

Whose things are these?

Alcohol?

There's also a backpack.

Why are these randomly thrown here?

Wake up!

You're blocking the pathway.

Don't you want your things anymore?

The wind!

It's the sound of the wind.

It feels so nice.

Mozart's Piano Sonata, K. 333.

The sound of the piano is so soft and warm.

[Fang Xiaowo's Nest]
(TN: A play on words. The last part of her name means nest.)

[Xiang Piao Piao]
(TN: A drink brand)

Li Zhenyan, you're awake?

Is my bed comfortable?

- Who are you?
- Did you forget?

- Why am I sleeping at a place like this?
- You tortured me the whole night.

- I tortured you?
- I was so exhausted.

This is your belt! I saw that you were uncomfortable but it took me so long to get it off.

Stop talking! It's absolutely impossible.

Absolutely impossible!

Do you not want your belt anymore?

To be honest,

the sound of the piano that I heard just then, was quite nice.

- Li Zhenyan!
- Hey! You...

My name isn't "Hey," my name is Fang Xiaowo.

Wait a second! How did you know my name?

I have your wallet! Do you want it? I'll deliver it downstairs for you.

No need! I'll get a new one.

Teacher Hu, I waited in line for a long time to buy this. You must try it!

Thank you! I'm lucky to taste this.

If we open the window, others will smell it. That's not good right?

- It's fine.
- If you say so.

- Be careful, it's hot!
- Let me use the chopsticks.

Let me use the chopsticks! Hurry and give it a try.

Isn't it tasty?

May I ask, is this Teacher Hu's piano classroom?

- It seems like I came to the wrong classroom.
- Li Zhenyan!

- You're right! You're right!
- Teacher.

We've been waiting for you.

It's you! The one who was drunk yesterday.

You're like the drunk person whom my dad caught at the police station in the middle of the night.

Is that so? Then he probably didn't eat breakfast yet.

Teacher, no need.

- You can drink the soy milk. It's good!
- Thank you, Teacher.

I was waiting for you but now that I see you in person, it feels different.

- I was thinking it's good that you're here now.
- Is that so?

I won't be called a second class teacher anymore.

- Second class teacher?
- It's a teacher who only teaches the lowest ranking students.

At first, when everyone started to call me that, I didn't feel too good about it.

But it seems like I feel fine now.

I'm done for.

I can tolerate the second class teacher

but why do I have to attend class with her?

Can we begin now?

Teacher Hu, why do I have to collaborate with her?

Isn't it great? Why don't you give it a try?

One is a brilliant, fourth-year student and the other is a newly transferred student.

What a wonderful duo! It'll be very interesting.

And you guys also know each other.

No, no, Teacher! It's like this...

How come it's me and her?

- I choose this piano.
- I'm not playing.

If it doesn't work, then there's no other way.

You can only give up the credits for my class.

If I remember correctly, I am the last teacher who is willing to accept you.

Without me, you'll have to stay back another year.

It's like this, Teacher.

- This person just randomly plays so we won't match.
- I haven't randomly played.

You can do it! You definitely can.

Aren't you the best at playing piano at this university?

- Mozart's Piano Sonata Duet?
- Yes.

- I heard this before.
- It's my first time playing it.

This song is fast so it's not easy to match.

It all comes down to how well you two collaborate.

Just now, you missed a note in the third bar.

It's played like this.

Like that!

Okay then! Let's play together, now.

You play Piano One, and I'll play Piano Two.

One, two, one.

Stop!

How did you play it? Do you know that you just played that part incorrectly?

Why aren't you looking at the music?

Because I already memorized it.

You memorized it, but you didn't memorize it correctly.

The part you just played has sixteen notes; sixteen notes are like this...

Why did they turn into dotted sixteenth notes?

Please grab the music score right now and look at them one note at a time.

Let's try it again, okay?

Fang Xiaowo's ears are gifted.

She can remember any piece of music after hearing it once so she doesn't have a habit of looking at the sheet music.

In addition, she works with me and I don't like to practice much.

I finally understand why she plays so outrageously.

Please have some more patience.

I believe that within ten days, you guys will be able to handle it.

Ten days? If pieces at this level are given to me,

then it'll take three days at most.

Director Meng, Editor Bei Shaofen said our school is too boring.

What do you think?

Principal, I think this is just Editor Bei's bias.

Then should we just let our good students mingle with the bad students to learn some weirdos?

I think she just isn't willing to properly promote our school.

I think Bei Shaofen is right.

She's right?

I invited Fei She'er to teach a class at our school.

He'll come in three days, please prepare for it.

Fei She'er?

The world-renowned Chinese conductor?

Then I have to make some preparations.

I'll go tell Team A to start practicing.

Okay, go ahead!

[Department Transfer Application]

Fang Xiaowo. Fang Xiaowo!

If you don't answer, I'm coming in.

Fang Xiaowo!

My goodness!

Is this even a place for a human to live?

If a thief came in, they would probably think they had already been here.

Fang Xiaowo.

Where are you hiding?

This won't do!

I can't tolerate this anymore.

My room!

Why are you here?

I don't know whose rag fell onto my front porch that led me to come up here.

I-I... where's my stuff?

I already cleaned up all your stuff.

Don't worry, it's free! Don't be so courteous.

Where's my piano?

Isn't it in the corner?

It's a red toy piano.

Are you talking about that old, broken toy piano?

I threw it away!

You threw it away?

Who told you to throw it away?

In your eyes it's nothing but it's a gift from my mom!

Where is it now?

Downstairs! In a black plastic bag, in the trash station.

I thought it was really old so I—

None of your business!

[Department Transfer Application]

Who told you to throw it away?

In your eyes it's nothing but it's a gift from my mom!

[Fang Xiaowo's Nest]

How come it's not here?

Why is it here?

I finally found you.

Sorry!

I know how unhappy you must feel to have something you dearly love being carelessly thrown away.

I hope my apology isn't too late.

I found this among the garbage.

I'm returning it to you.

Quiet down, students!

I came to let everyone know some good news.

Our school has invited the famous conductor, Fei She'er,

to teach a class as a guest professor.

So during this time, you have to keep practicing.

Fei She'er?

Isn't he coming to guide Team A?

Of course!

You are the top students of this school.

He will personally teach all of you.

This will benefit you in the future;

hence, practice well.

Don't embarrass me!

You got this?

Wow!

You can print out the music later.

- Print them all out.
- Make sure to mark them.

Li Zhenyan,

aren't you Maestro Wayn's student?

You should know his friend, Conductor Master Fei She'er, right?

He's going to be a guest professor

to teach Team A at the conducting department.

You should know him well.

I don't.

You should know him, right?

This is Senior Tian Yisong from the conducting department.

In the future he will definitely become Fei She'er's student.

After graduation, he will have the chance to go to Europe for further studies.

What do you think? He's pretty good, right?

Is that so?

I haven't experienced a performance that got me so moved and excited since then.

Maestro Wayn,

you said this type of experience is when a musician is the happiest.

But this happiness, will I be able to experience it again ever?

Li Zhenyan, if you don't improve,

no one will stand here, waiting for you.

Thank you for finding the MP3.

You're welcome!

What are you doing? Didn't we say that we're practicing?

I'm tired.

Did I not play well?

I promise I'll spend lots of time practicing and learn the music well.

- I definitely won't hinder you.
- You're already very good.

There are just problems with my guiding.

Mozart's Piano Sonata Duet.

The first movement, allegro (fast tempo), D major,

sonata style while the second movement,

largo (very slow tempo), G major, sonata style.

The third movement, prestissimo (very very fast tempo),

in D major again.

I've been taking notes.

Now you-you're my partner,

so your problems are also mine.

Tell me what's going on!

It's my problem, it has nothing to do with you.

What on earth is going on?

If you don't practice, then you can listen to me practice.

I'm not in the mood.

Then I'll keep pestering you.

There's no point in pestering me.

Why are you like this? You promised me that you would practice.

How come you're going back on your words?

You—

When I was unhappy when I was young,

I would tap on these little glasses.

Each of them has its own sound.

At that time I was thinking, even these little glasses are so talented,

then I'll have to work even harder.

Dreams aren't just dreams.

They are the first step for improving.

If there's no music in your dreams, then how can you play

a dreamy and romantic note?

- You've come out?
- Are you even playing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star?"

The tune isn't quite right.

Don't you think you're bothering the neighbors?

I'm only bothering you.

- Come in!
- I'm hungry.

Let's come in to eat something.

Your glasses, your glasses!

Such extravagant!

Hurry up and start it! Else, it'll get cold.

I'll eat then.

- How is it?
- Can I come to eat at your place everyday?

We'll see how you do.

It's tasty.

- You have to dip this in that.
- Which one? This one?

That one!

Mozart's Piano Sonata Duet in D major, K. 448,

was written in 1781 by Mozart.

We are going to play the third movement.

The mood of the third movement, in contrast to a gently flowing second movement, is fast and brilliant.

Thus, you need to put your emotions into the tune as well.

Let's give it a try!

Stop!

The first thing you have to learn when you play piano with me is to read the sheet music.

But I don't like reading it.

But I don't like it when people don't read it.

Let's try again.

Stop!

It's so weird!

Not that! You were clearly playing according to the sheet music

but why was the rhythm off?

But when I play while looking at the music, I...

How about this? Take your time to read the musical score! Let me have some time alone.

In the past, you played the piano to have fun but it's different now. You have a motive!

Especially, since it's a duet, you need to be cognizant of your partner

as well as the composer's original purpose.

How can you randomly play?

Don't be self-righteous and play your own beats.!

Look closely at the music when playing.

You're so dumb! If you don't want to learn, then get lost.

Do you know that you just played that part incorrectly?

Why aren't you looking at the music?

You were clearly playing according to the sheet music but why was the rhythm off?

Li Zhenyan, you are exactly the same as Zhang Shangge right now.

Is it right being like this?

You don't have to read the music today, just play it however you want.

No way! I can't make a mistake.

I have to play according to the musical score.

- but no matter what, I can't remember it.
- It's fine! Don't think about all that.

I know how you play.

Today, I'll accompany you.

Are you sure that you two are ready? Don't force yourself!

Of course, we agreed on three days, so it'll be three days.

She has a special talent.

But the only one who can cooperate and keep up with her and her wild ideas,

is me.

We match well here but the problem is after this...

It's almost entirely a solo theme for Piano One.

It appeared, that smile!

She's playing like a free-spirit.

I told her she could and she really is.

But there's no problem! I can accompany her.

I know her habits.

Look!

We overcame it.

I've actually been paying close attention to her technique.

Listen! For a real musician, whatever the stage is,

you have to feel the emotions and vibrations.

That is the true happiness.

Yes.

In my dreams I keep anticipating moments like those.

I kept giving up in the past

but now, I feel like I could shoulder it because of the music.

This is the only piano sonata duet that prodigy Mozart wrote in his life.

Although it has long been believed that his original intention was to help talented students,

Mozart actually might have been inspired by the students.

After communicating with them, he recalled the pure passion of music he had possessed in his heart.
