King of Classical Music

In the quiet and quiet corridor, the young man leaned back against the wall, listening to the sound of the violin in the room with a calm expression.

What Luo Yusen played was the fifth movement of Bach's "Unaccompanied Violin Sonata No. [-]". This is a three-time dance piece performed on one note. It is of a professional level in terms of technique, but quite demanding in terms of emotion.

In just a few minutes, Qi Mu just listened casually. When he heard about the difficulty of a certain skill, he was slightly taken aback.When he heard the small climax of the whole song again, he finally couldn't help laughing and muttered to himself: "Luo Yusen... It's been a year, why hasn't your level improved at all?"

Luo Yusen is sometimes said to be smart, and at least he can get into the position of deputy chief of the second violin group of Weijiao. He is definitely not a mediocre musician.

But it is not wrong to say that he is stupid. After all, he has been in Weijiao for six years, and he has not found that Mr. Evra likes Bach's music.In the previous life, there was a time when Luo Yusen took the initiative to ask Qi Mu about Mr. Evra's preferences, and Qi Mu just said it casually.

But Luo Yusen...

Since you know Mr. Evra likes Bach, isn't that really adding fuel to the fire when you play it so mediocrely?

If you can't play very well, then don't choose Bach's pieces at all, maybe you have a better chance of getting the qualification of deputy principal.

Qi Mu just listened for a while, then got up and left.He originally wanted to hear if Luo Yusen had improved this year. After all, he was a member of the orchestra. If he improved a lot, it is very likely that Mr. Evra would directly promote him.

But Luo Yusen didn't disappoint Qi Mu, it was his limit if he didn't regress.

Not long after returning to the preparation room, Qi Mu saw Luo Yusen coming to get his things.All the members of the orchestra ignored him, and no one paid attention to him, but Luo Yusen seemed to be used to it.

I saw him walking straight up to Qi Mu with his piano case in his hand, with a false smile on his handsome face: "Qi Mu, long time no see, why don't we have dinner together after your performance? After all They are all Chinese, and it is rare to meet them in Vienna."

Qi Mu smiled gently. He looked very polite on the surface, but his tone was very flat: "My serial number is at the bottom. I'm really sorry. You don't have to wait for me. I'm going to Lanzhou next. We have already made an appointment to have dinner at Master Si's house."

When Luo Yusen heard the word "Lance", his eyes widened suddenly, but he quickly concealed his surprise. "Okay, I'll contact you later, if we're all in Vienna, we can get together anytime."

When he said this, Luo Yusen's tone became warmer, as if he was talking to a long-time friend.

Qi Mu said a few words with a smile, and Luo Yusen left first.

Qi Mu looked at the back of the other party going away, narrowed his eyes slightly, and sighed in his heart: When you heard the name of Master Lance...does that make you fall in love?The most important thing about the road of music is not how many people you know, but...

How strong is your strength?

When it was Qi Mu's turn to enter the rehearsal room, all the registered musicians had almost left.He took his violin and walked to the center of the rehearsal room, and saw that the person sitting under the stage was——

The orchestra's chief conductor, Mr. Evra, the principal violinist, Jasco, and the orchestra's music director, Ms. Caroline.

After hearing Qi Mu's self-introduction, Caroline gave him a surprised look, and then asked, "Your name is...Qi Mu? Oh, are you a student of Akad?"

Qi Mu nodded with a smile, and said in a gentle tone: "Yes, Ms. Caroline, my teacher is indeed Professor Akad."

This capable music director of the orchestra has simple short hair. Hearing this, she nodded slightly and said directly: "Okay, then you can play directly. What is the piece you are playing today? We will only give you 10 minutes You have to grasp the time yourself."

Qi Mu has long been accustomed to Ms. Caroline's character of going straight to the theme, he nodded with a smile, and said, "I'm going to play the fifth movement of Bach's "Second Violin Sonata for Unaccompanied"."

As soon as this was said, Mr. Evra, who was not paying attention at first, suddenly raised his eyes to look at Qi Mu.The irascible maestro looked him up and down a few times before suddenly asking, "Did Lance tell you I liked Bach...or Reed?"

Qi Mu shook his head calmly: "Mr. Evra, neither Master Lance nor the teacher told me that you like Bach."

The young man's appearance is sincere and sincere, and his tone is very decisive and sure, especially the pair of light-colored eyes that are staring at Mr. Evra closely. They are so sincere that people can feel at a glance that he is absolutely not lying.

In this regard, Mr. Evra nodded and said: "Okay, then you can play. I hope...you can play my favorite Bach."

After hearing these words, Caroline and Jasko looked at Mr. Evra in surprise.I saw that the latter was still staring at the young man on the stage solemnly with his expressionless face all year round.

Although Master Evra didn't look a little strange, they all knew...

"I hope you can play my favorite Bach. 』

——This sentence is the first time Evra said it today!

Before Qi Mu, in addition to many members of the orchestra, some people outside the orchestra also chose Bach's pieces by mistake.But Mr. Evra didn't respond at all to this, and he didn't even bother to say more comments.

But now...he was looking forward to this young man's performance!

Caroline and Jasko couldn't help but get a little more serious, and turned to look at the youth on the stage.

Under the dazzling light, this handsome young man rested the violin lightly on his shoulders. His body was straight, forming a beautiful straight line with the violin. Rowling and Jasko couldn't help thinking in their hearts——

"I give him full marks. 』

And in the next second, the low and sad sound of the piano made them all startled, and instantly forgot the mood of pure visual appreciation just now.

The fifth movement of Bach's "Unaccompanied Violin Sonata No. [-]" has a tragic name——

"Chakon".

Chinese is really broad and profound. When Qi Mu first heard that the Chinese translation of "Chaconne" was called "Chaconne", he listened to his Chinese teacher explaining the meaning of these two words, and he was instantly fascinated by this "as if a The artistic conception of "dreams, just completely empty" was overwhelmed.

Bach is a typical classical musician, he is a loyal religious, so his music works are always mixed with the majestic grandeur and solemnity of religious works.But this song "Chaconne" is a little exception.

Bach married twice in his life. His first wife died before he was 35 years old. The following year, Bach married his second wife.Such a story does not seem pretty and romantic, but...

But Bach used "Chaconne" to make this love eternal.

"Chaconne" is Bach mourning his deceased wife.

This kind of emotion is deep and deep, integrating years of love into a song, expressing the longing for the lover, the memory of the past time, and the grief of the separation between life and death and never seeing each other again.

The white fingers of the young man gently pressed the strings. For Jasko, who came from a wealthy family, such an exquisite and excellent imitation Si-style violin is not very expensive, but at this moment he was surprised to find: this violin , played a voice that made him unable to hold back his tears.

Like a man weeping sadly, the soft and slow sound of the qin slowly flows out from the hole of the qin, every minute is a weeping of grief, and every beat expresses the deep mourning like the sea.In the end, the pain can only be turned into a silent sigh.

The difficulty of this piece is really average, but the emotions it wants to express are too rich.

Before Qi Mu, there was only one person who performed this piece.When that person's performance ended, Mr. Evra didn't even bother to throw a glance at the other party, and Jasko also sneered and refused to comment. Only Caroline asked the other party to go down and wait in a good temper.

If there is no comparison, forget it, once there is a comparison...

This gap is simply worlds apart!

When Qi Mu's last note ended, Mr. Evra applauded lightly.He looked seriously at the young man on the stage, his eyes seemed to see Qi Mu to the bone.

In the next second, Mr. Evra sighed and said, "Lance said, you are a very skilled violinist. Your skills have reached the level of virtuosity, and you used to play some virtuoso violinists often." song."

Mr. Evra's voice sounded in the empty rehearsal room, Qi Mu nodded with a smile, only to hear the other party continue to say: "I used to think that you should like those fancy music like the great Paganini , may be a little lacking in emotion. But today... I realized that I like your Bach very much."

Qi Mu bowed politely: "Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Evra."

"Oh! Xiaoqi," once he fell in love with the other party's music, Master Evra's address to Qi Mu directly changed from his name to "Xiaoqi", he said: "Your understanding of this song "Chaconne" made me I was also shocked, to be honest, your music style reminds me of a person, you are very similar, of course, there are still some differences, your violin is more mature and complete than his."

Qi Mu was startled when he heard the words, and only heard Mr. Evra continue: "He used to... stand in the position you are applying for, and the tunes he played are not only proficient in skills, but also have a very rich and delicate tone. emotion."

"You mean Lu?!" Caroline on the side exclaimed.

Hearing this, Jasko also looked at the youth on the stage with a complicated expression.

I saw Qi Mu still smiling calmly, and Mr. Evra continued: "Yes, I'm talking about Lu, Caroline." Then, he turned his head and looked at Qi Mu again: "Before you, There is another person who played this piece. He played really ordinary, and without professional skills, he tried to understand Bach's feelings in delusion, which really disappointed me."

Qi Mu suddenly said: "Mr. Evra, I don't know what you are talking about...?"

"Oh, it's a violinist in our orchestra." Mr. Evra said flatly.

Jia Sike on the side sneered and added: "Yeah, that guy's level hasn't improved for a long time, right? Apart from his passable skills, his understanding of the music itself is really terrible."

Caroline reprimanded: "Jasco, no matter what, Luo is also a member of our orchestra."

Jia Sike spread his hands and said that he would not comment.

Mr. Evra didn't bother to say another word about Luo Yusen. He looked at Qi Mu and continued, "Xiaoqi, in fact, last night, your teacher called me. Although he didn't really approve of your coming Our orchestra... But, he wants me to listen to your violin and give you a score fairly. And now I think... Even if the next few violinists don't play, I believe they will never have a better score than you Strength, you are the well-deserved No.1 in this recruitment meeting."

For such a high evaluation, Qi Mu said modestly: "You are too generous, Mr. Evra."

But then, Mr. Evra shook his head and said: "But Xiaoqi, it is precisely because of this..."

"Sorry, it's absolutely impossible for me to make you the deputy chief of our orchestra."
