Chapter 834 Sofia’s Test
“Yup. Let’s finish our meal and then we can leave after that. Along the way, I’ll show you the composition I made last night.”
“Does that mean I’m the first person to hear the piece that you composed?” Gregory was delighted.
Tessa was happy to indulge him too.
Later on, they entered the car and Gregory impatiently requested Tessa to play the tune for him.
Naturally, Tessa fulfilled his request and she started to hum the tune gently.
“Mommy, it’s great!” Gregory clapped enthusiastically.
Watching the little guy being so supportive, the worries she had initially were significantly alleviated.
Soon, she led him to Sofia’s manor. They entered the living room and Tessa and Gregory subsequently greeted the lady politely.
Sofia noticed that Tessa’s face looked slightly haggard and she realized that Tessa must have stayed up the entire night. At that moment, Sofia’s impression of Tessa improved significantly. She’s a hardworking child.
“Take a seat.” Sofia gestured for the duo to take a seat and instructed the servant to serve a glass of milk.
This little gesture left a great impression on Tessa and her adoration toward Sofia increased too.
Tessa took a sip of milk and then she handed over the tune she had composed to Sofia. “Miss Sofia, take a look at this and please share your comments with me.”
Sofia nodded before reaching out for the sheet music and studying it. Unexpectedly, she was quite surprised by what she saw.
The tune composed by Tessa had its own distinct originality and there were elements of classical music blended into the tune. It was refreshing and different.
Of course though, this was not an indication that Tessa’s composed piece was the best; it was an evidence that she had a solid foundation, proving that she had put in the effort in her musical background.
However, Tessa was unaware of Sofia’s thoughts at the moment.
She glanced at Sofia, who had been silent for a prolonged period, and she felt extremely anxious. She was worried that her composed piece would not meet the expert’s expectations.
Inside the quiet living room, Tessa glanced at Sofia anxiously.
At that moment, Gregory was affected too and he could not contain his anxiety.
After a moment, Sofia’s voice finally rang out in the living room. “It’s a bare pass.” She placed the sheet music down and looked at Tessa calmly. Despite her indifference on the surface, she had already acknowledged Tessa’s identity. This kid is an unpolished diamond and she’s worth cultivating.
As soon as Tessa heard that, she immediately heaved a sigh of relief and revealed a smile. Bare pass or not, I take the win!
Gregory caught on to their conversation and happily declared, “I knew that Mommy would succeed!”
Meanwhile, Sofia looked at the joyful mother-and-son duo and she could not find it within herself to burst their bubble. That was because the test had not ended just yet.
“You shouldn’t rejoice too soon. Although your composed piece passed the test—just barely—I do want to test you on how you play the violin.”
“How will you conduct the test?” Gregory expressed his concern quite anxiously once again.
However, Tessa remained unperturbed as she revealed a smile. “Miss Sofia, I’m ready for any test you have.”
Frankly, she was not too keen in her composing skills, but she was perfectly confident in her abilities as a virtuoso.
Sofia noted Tessa’s confidence and nodded with a pleased look. “Then, I would like you to play ‘Dance of the Fairies’ for me.”
‘Dance of the Fairies’ was the masterpiece of Revel Group and it was their most complicated piece.
The tune was aptly named and it required the performer of the tune to utilize their extraordinary skills to depict the scenario of dancing fairies. The rhythm and melody resembled a group of fairies excitedly having fun as they danced wildly.
Although it was not a long piece to perform, there were a lot of specific and high difficulty technicalities required to perform this.
As soon as Tessa heard that, she uncovered her violin calmly and in no time, the living room was filled with the carefree and melodious tune of her violin.
Sofia shut her eyes and listened carefully.
Undeniably, Tessa was very musically talented and her skills were impressive as well.
She finished performing the piece and her performance was impeccable. After that, she placed down her violin and looked at Sofia expectantly.
Naturally, Sofia was aware that Tessa was waiting for her comment, so she praised Tessa generously, “Your violin skills are exactly as described by Louis and it’s impressive, but—”
At that moment, Tessa felt her heart clench upon hearing the pause in Sofia’s words.
Gregory stared intently at Sofia while holding his breath too.
“Undeniably, your performance earlier is great, but there are some slight flaws.”
