文章大意:本文是一篇记叙文。介绍了罗伯特作为钢琴家玛丽亚的翻页人所发生的趣事以及需要的技巧。

【推荐3】By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare time though he goes on __________ beside pianist Maria Raspopova — not as a musician but as her ____________. “I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to ____________ music so I can help Maria in her performance.”

Mr. Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page turner for the past four years. His job is to ____________ beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn’t have to ____________ the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.

“A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don’t turn ____________pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.” Mr. Titterton explained.

Being a page turner _________ plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can ____________ for 40minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is ____________, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to____________ a page turn which they need to practice with their page turner.

But ___________ all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. “I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the ____________,” Mr. Titterton said, “Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.”

Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms. Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage. “My husband is the ____________page turner,” she laughed. “He’s ____________ in the music, feeling every ____________, and I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’ Robert is the best page turner I’ve had in my entire life.”
