Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 573

Chapter 573

“I guess she’s reaching for the stars.”

“To me, she’s better off not performing. There’s no suspense about the results anymore. In the end, Cindy will definitely be the one who wins the position of concertmaster.”
Tessa heard their discouraging remarks, but her expression was calm, and she was completely unperturbed.
She picked up her violin and started to perform.
As the lively and light-hearted tune sounded, the members who had been talking about her gradually quieted down.
They stared at Tessa in disbelief, shocked.
Caprice No. 24′ was in the A minor key, and it had a 2/4 time signature. The piece consisted of one theme, eight variations, and one ending. There were a variety of forms, such as springing arpeggios, powerful chords, complex intervals, diatonic and chromatic scales, and so on. It combined a variety of difficult violin techniques, creating a rejuvenating, brooding, and fiery atmosphere.
Tessa ignored the stunned audience and moved the bow with her right hand while rapidly plucking the strings with her left hand, sinking her entire person into the turbulent music.
It seemed like a long time had passed, but it also seemed like it had only been a few minutes before Tessa’s performance came to an end.
The crowd was silent, and everyone stared wordlessly at Tessa for a long time, as they were still in shock from her performance
Tessa set down her violin and breathed slowly, but she couldn’t hide the smile that tugged on her lips.
Looking at everyone’s expressions, she knew she had succeeded.
I really did it…
After a long silence, there was thunderous applause.
Mona, in particular, was clapping so hard that her hands were red.
“Bravo, Tessa! I knew you could do it!”
She cheered and shouted for Tessa.
Tessa sensed it and looked in her direction.
Mona became even more excited and waved at Tessa, who laughed.
At this moment, the other people made admiring remarks as well.
“She’s really amazing. Initially, I thought that it was impossible for her to successfully play it, but she actually did it.”
“I thought so too. With such talent, no wonder Miss Hathaway favors her. If it were me, I would favor her too!”
“I’m not kidding when I say that Tessa is the real deal.”
When Kathleen looked around and saw everyone admiring Tessa, she gritted her teeth so hard that she nearly crushed her gums.
She felt that her efforts to ruin Tessa’s relationship with the members were in vain.
“B*tch! B*tch!”
She gritted her teeth, glaring at Tessa with resentment in her eyes.
Fortunately, her voice was covered by the applause and cheers from all around the place.
At this moment, the judges began to comment on Tessa’s performance.
“Throughout the whole piece, you’ve successfully integrated your own style, bringing a different energy to this piece.”
“Your violin skills are excellent, and you’ve perfectly mastered the continuous diatonic scales.”
“It can be said that you controlled the detail of the entire piece very well. It’s worth examining.”
Scott gave an extremely high evaluation as well. “It’s perfect. I don’t think I’m qualified to comment on it now.”
His gaze was profound as he looked at Tessa, who was dazzling on the stage, and there was deep appreciation in his eyes.
After she received such high recognition, the smile on Tessa’s face was extremely bright.
“Thank you.”
She bowed to show her gratitude.
The emcee recovered and stepped forward to ask, “Judges, how many points will you be giving to contestant no. 18?”
As soon as he said that, the audience and Tessa looked nervously at the judges.
Scott, Guntram, and the others glanced at each other, and they saw through each other’s thoughts at once.
“Do we even need to score this?”
: . “Yeah, the scoring is no longer necessary, right? The result is obvious.”
“She’s the only winner there is.”
“If we need to give a score, I’ll give her a score of ten.”
They voiced their opinions in unison, and everyone in the audience agreed as well.
“Indeed. There’s no need to score this at all. Although Cindy performed very well, she still wasn’t as good as Tessa.”
