King of Classical Music

The spacious and towering concert hall stage is illuminated by seven or eight beams of bright spotlights. On such a dazzling stage, a handsome and beautiful young man is holding a small and delicate imitation Si-style piano on his shoulders, but he does not Playing the piano, he turned his head to look in the direction of the grand piano instead.

The piano provided by the Paris National Supérieure de Conservatory for students to evaluate was a nine-foot Bösendorfer grand piano. Such a colossus was arrogant and domineering across the middle and rear of the stage, and it almost took three or four middle-aged men to move it.

Therefore, when students from other departments are performing, the piano is quietly placed there, and the staff will remove it only after the evaluation is over.

The vast concert hall was so quiet that even the sound of a pin falling could be heard.Everyone stared wide-eyed at the man sitting behind the piano in surprise, as if they couldn't believe who they saw.

And for Qi Mu, "surprise" can no longer be described, but——

appalled.

One second he was seriously preparing to play, but the next second, he turned his head and saw this man who should have been thousands of miles away!

It didn't take long for Qi Mu to be astonished. Min Chen raised his right index finger, put it gently in front of his nose, and then pointed at the stunned young man.

Such a simple action made Qi Mu suddenly understand. In the silence of the audience, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then Qi Mu turned his head decisively. The next moment——

The soft and melodious piano sound poured out from the piano hole.

The sound of the violin is like a pool of warm hot spring water, dispelling the bleakness of autumn, and unfolding a beautiful picture of spring.The sound of the piano is light and soft, and the beating of each note is extremely relaxed, as if there are elves dancing on the strings.

Accompanied by the clear and gentle echo of the piano.

Beethoven's "Spring Sonata" is an ensemble piece for piano and violin.Qi Mu only prepared the performance of the first movement and the fourth movement at the beginning of the practice. One section is a brisk allegro, and the other section is a melodious roundabout. The beautiful and moving piano sounds are played in double, in the quiet concert hall reverberate.

This is a whisper of piano and violin, the two respond to each other’s voice gently, like a pair of close friends, or like a couple, full of vigorous upgrades and surging enthusiasm, spreading the breath of spring to the audience, Let everyone feel the warmth like the touch of spring breeze.

On the stage, the young man's fair and slender fingers are illuminated by lights.The light was so dazzling that the people in the audience couldn't see the movements of the fingers clearly, and could only hear the continuous sound of the piano like flowing water.

Behind Qi Mu, Min Chen's movements were completely blocked by the piano's huge body.He calmly looked down at the movements between his fingers, and looked up at the young man not far away from time to time. His eyes were soft and inclusive, and were blocked by the black piano board, so that ordinary audiences could not see clearly.

Suddenly the violin played a word in a low voice, and the piano echoed in a low voice; the violin suddenly danced passionately, and the piano followed its steps and played happily.

Someone once commented on Beethoven's "Spring Sonata": "This piece is not too difficult, nor does it have so many obscure emotions, but if you want the sound of the violin to blend perfectly with the piano, then This performance... must have been rehearsed for a long time."

And now, the audience in the audience also think so.

They admired such a beautiful and euphemistic performance, praised the sound of the piano, and some even saw the green that belongs to spring in front of their eyes.Although they didn't say it out loud, many people have already thought in unison in their hearts——

"This "Spring Sonata" must have been rehearsed for a long time, right? 』

Any piece of music, as long as it is played by more than two people, must be rehearsed in advance.Even if the rhythm and melody are exactly the same, before the prior rehearsal, the two parties in the ensemble cannot guarantee whether they can integrate with each other's music.

For example, the sound of the violin should be slightly softer at this time, so that the piano can sing a low melody; another example is that the violin should be more hurried at that time, so that the piano can catch up quickly.

Achieving such a top level without prior rehearsal?

Even Delan won't believe it if you tell me!

But... Only Qi Mu and Min Chen knew that this almost perfect "Spring Sonata" was their first ensemble.

However, as if they had played together hundreds of times before, when Min Chen suddenly pressed a chord, Qi Mu immediately accelerated his speed comprehendingly, and when Qi Mu suddenly used the adapted jumping bow to perform a When it comes to syllables, Min Chen tacitly responds with portamento.

Obviously this piece of music has been changed by Qi Mu in a few small parts, but even if there is such a change in the middle, the man can carry it on very freely, and on the basis of the original improvement, the violin's high spirits are even more prominent. Beautiful tone.

When the whole song reached the last chorus, everyone in the audience had already been encouraged by the piano singing duet to each other. After the whole song ended, when the first "Bravo" appeared, there was unprecedented warm applause. sounded.

At this time, amidst thunderous applause, someone finally woke up——

"Just now... I seem to have really heard the sound of spring water!"

"I didn't expect it to be "Spring". It really made me see a beautiful spring!"

"This piece of music has been performed at a level above the academy. Even if it is performed by a world-class symphony orchestra, it will be no problem at all, right?!"

……

Of course, there are also people who have completely different concerns from these purely appreciative audiences——

"Mr. Bertram actually played this Qi Mu's ensemble?"

"It's a bit of an honor, isn't this an ensemble... Why do I feel that the sound of this violin is even faintly better than that of the piano? The violin is completely the protagonist of this piece!"

"Mr. Bertram seemed to deliberately use the style of accompaniment just now, but I didn't expect such a young student to have the momentum to play with Mr. Bertram!"

"Is this a kind of aura...?"

……

Generally speaking, those who say this are members of the world's major orchestras.They came to the evaluation site of the Paris National Supérieure de Conservatoire today, in order to find good seedlings, incorporate them into their orchestra, and absorb fresh blood.

Many people thought about inviting Qi Mu to join their orchestra before he started playing, but when they saw that man suddenly appear behind the piano, and even played a song "Spring" with this young man, they suddenly realized ——

"So it was taken away by Bai Ai a long time ago? Then why should we grab it!"

Of course, is it true that no one wants to grab it anymore?

Under the circumstances that "the chief conductor of Bo Ai was standing on the stage, looking at the audience indifferently", Mr. Hooker, the principal violinist of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, "boldly" offered an olive branch to the young people on the stage.

The rare thing is...

Qi Mu didn't decline! ! !

Looking at the bearded old man off the stage, the young man found it both funny and helpless.He didn't say the words of refusal, but it didn't mean that Qi Mu was really going to accept Niu Ai's invitation, but Qi Mu didn't expect that Niu Ai would send Mr. Hook, the chief violin this time. It's not easy for him to refuse directly because of the face.

After the invitations of the major orchestras are over, it will be the scoring stage for the ten judges.

The National Higher Conservatory of Music’s assessment does not stipulate that each student must perform individually, just like Lanst and Aina before, they are a two-person ensemble, and each gets its own score.

Of course, it's not unheard of to ask someone from outside the academy to accompany you, but really no one... has invited a music master like Min Chen.

When scoring, more than half of the ten judges knew Min Chen, and one or two were even fans of his music.

However, this does not add points to Qi Mu, and some judges even commented harshly: "Your accompaniment is too strong, I think...Qi Mu, you need to have the ability to control the accompaniment. Such strength is very It's rare, and I'm sorry... In the performance just now, you really controlled my favorite Mr. Bertram's piano sound."

As he spoke, the pianist put a sad face on the floor, and then gave a score: "I am very angry, my impulsive brain makes me want to tell you: 'I like your accompaniment better!', but... ...my mind tells me I have to give you full marks."

In such dumbfounding comments, Qi Mu got the first full score.

Then came the second, third, fourth...

Ninth.

Until the last chief judge.

"Your accompaniment is very good, and you are also very good. I like Auston's piano as much as Lazzoni, but I am not as naive and emotional as him." Lazzoni is the pianist who looked sad just now, and this The main judge was an excellent trumpet player, he looked at Qi Mu with a smile, and said, "I'm different from Lazzoni, I think...your score should be worthy of your strength, and you can let Auston Burtram has truly become your accompanist, Qi Mu...you deserve—"

"10 points."
