King of Classical Music

In the magnificent Concert Hall of the Opera House, the lights were brilliant and focused on the stage, illuminating the appearance of this famous opera orchestra.

Dozens of people sat neatly on their seats, violins, violas, cellos...the bows were drawn, trumpets, medium trumpets, trombones, clarinets...all the instruments played together, majestic but not solemn "Ave Maria" rose melodiously.

"Ave Maria" is the composition of Schubert, the early representative of classical romanticism. This music master was born in Vienna, the holy capital of music, and also reached the glory of his life in this city.

Many people in the world know that Mozart had a short life span of only 35 years, but he left thousands of world famous songs.But few people know that, in fact, Schubert's life——

Only 31 short years.

In this very short 31 years, this talented music master wrote more than 600 songs, 18 operas, 10 symphonies and so on.

God is never fair, he prefers his beloved human beings.He devoted countless efforts to great talents such as Mozart and Schubert, allowing them to bring heavenly music to the world, but he cherished them and wanted to bring them back to heaven early.

And this "Ode to Our Lady", inherited the preferences of the Viennese who like waltz the most. shake.

Old audiences at the Parison Theater who have listened to "Ave Maria" for more than ten years are naturally familiar with this piece of music.They were even able to learn that Mr. Wallace likes to let the harp insert a ditty at the end of the first section, and also know the female chorus that is unique at the Parison Theater.

But this time, what they didn't expect at all was that... the chief violin was standing on the left side of the conductor, Mr. Walls, and he didn't intend to sit back in his seat at all!

An old gentleman sitting in the front row had a serious face, looking through thick presbyopic glasses at the young man who was standing on the stage and not playing.He is gray-haired, with his hands folded on the crutches in front of him, and if anyone in the Parison Theater saw him, he would probably exclaim: "Oh! Dear Mr. Derante!"

Derante is a loyal audience of the Palaisson Theater. As an authentic Viennese, Derante has followed his parents since he was four years old and came to the Palaisen Theater to enjoy the operas shown here every week.

This old man is in his 70s, and his health is not very good. He doesn’t know how many times he will be able to come to the theater in the future, but he is an old man who has watched the Palaisson Theater become what it is today. Mr. Ernes and the others are even deeper.

At this moment, Mr. Derante's exquisite eyes were fixed on the young man on the left side of the stage.

In the operas in the past few months, he also heard that the performance level of the theater orchestra is very good. Although he seldom saw the newly appointed chief, Mr. Derante could not help but have a little doubt about Qi Mu .

Can such a young child really be the chief of Paleson?

But now, this obviously adapted "Ave Maria" also made Mr. Derante pay more attention to this handsome young man.He really wants to see how capable this seemingly fragile child is, and what a brilliant "Ave Maria" he can perform!

Qi Mu didn't notice Mr. Derante's anxious gaze in the audience.He carefully listened to every sound in the orchestra behind him, from the sound of the timpani furthest away from him to the sound of the principal violin who was closest to him.

Mr. Walls raised his baton lightly, and after another glissando of the stringed instrument, Qi Mu raised his right hand, gently placed his bow on the strings, and turned to look at Hua Hua beside him. Mr. Pauls.

In the next second, Mr. Walls looked at him with encouraging and expectant eyes.

Immediately, the sound of the bright and pleasant violin came out slowly!

When the sound of the violin appeared, there was a burst of astonishment in the audience.This surprised low cry quickly disappeared in the quiet music hall, and everyone carefully appreciated the violin version of the vocal singing brought by the chief.

The sound of the piano was soft and beautiful, as if the holy light descended, standing on the clouds and spreading the radiance of benevolence to the earth.Behind the sound of the piano, it is not completely bright, and there is also a little pain, but the repeated singing in the high-pitched area restrains such short-term hidden pain to the back of optimism and positivity, which makes people feel happy.

The whole orchestra is playing behind this beautiful piano sound. If the music of the orchestra is like a child singing softly, then this unique violin sound is like a beautiful and gentle woman singing a moving song with the most charming smile. , while reaching out to give you a hug.

No matter how indifferent and cold-blooded people are, they can't help being moved when they hear such an "Ave Maria".

This is Schubert's painstaking work, although it is short, it makes people happy.

This is also the clear sound of the ensemble played by the Palaisson Theater, giving people the most unforgettable joy.

This is the young principal standing at the forefront of the orchestra, performing a wonderful sound of nature with smooth and moving violin sound!

Off the stage, everyone was immersed in such a quiet and beautiful atmosphere, unable to extricate themselves.Only Mr. Derante, who was sitting in the first row, slowly loosened his frown and showed a smile of praise.

No wonder the choir, which had been standing behind the orchestra in the past years, suddenly disappeared. It turned out that the charm of singing was replaced by the voice of the violin!

This kind of adaptation is really excellent, and it is extremely difficult!

The human voice is not the voice of a musical instrument, it is very easy to show emotional ups and downs, especially the voice of a whole choir, which magnifies the feelings of each person a hundred times, far from "1+1=2" Effect.

But... the sound of this child's piano is comparable to the chorus of the past years!

Mr. Derante nodded in relief. He listened to the other music in the orchestra, and his pupils trembled slightly.

This band has grown so fast!

They can use the most suitable and appropriate music to cooperate with their chief to play a moving "Ave Maria"!Such a speed of progress has never been seen by Mr. Derante in the past 70 years!It made him think of the only person in the band who changed...

Mr. Derante looked at the young man standing in front of the stage: Is it because of him? !

If a chief has a high level, it can only be said that he is an excellent chief; but if a chief can influence and change his orchestra, then this is an extraordinary chief!

If it is really this child who has brought such a big change to the orchestra, Mr. Derante really wants this child to stay here forever.

It's a pity that he also knows that what such an outstanding child needs is a stronger stage, and there is only so much that Paleson can give him-Paleisen can't keep him.

However, Mr. Derante still smiled slightly: that's fine, that's fine.This kid has made a good start for this orchestra, and maybe when he is gone in a few years, this theater will go from strength to strength!Too bad he might not see that day...

In the huge concert hall, the sound of music is full of music, which is fascinating.When the whole orchestra played the last note, the whole field suddenly fell silent, only the soft and gentle voice of the violin at the front was heard softly.

It is like a ray of spring breeze blowing through everyone's heart.

When such a moving melody ended, the audience was shocked and did not recover. Only an old man with white hair on the temples sitting in the front of the crowd tremblingly stood up on crutches, clapping his hands. , while shouting vigorously: "Bravo!"

The next moment, the roaring applause seemed to topple the roof!

In the place where the lights gathered, Qi Mu and the conductor Mr. Walls shook hands with a smile, and then bowed to the stage together.When Qi Mu returned to the chief violinist's seat and sat down, the applause had lasted for more than five minutes and then slowly died down.

Although the applause stopped, the audience off the court became even more excited.

They are looking forward to the performance brought by this orchestra, which is completely different from previous years!

No one knows what wonderful musical effect the next "Emperor Waltz" will produce!

If Schubert is the pride of the Viennese, then Strauss and his son are undoubtedly the great men they admire most!

This "Emperor Waltz" by Johann Strauss Jr. is the bedside music of many listeners present, even in coffee shops, restaurants, squares, churches in Vienna... You can hear this light song everywhere. Slow and beautiful waltz.

On the stage, Mr. Walls raised his baton lightly, and the familiar sound of the piano suddenly sounded.

The brisk and bright beating notes wandered in the entire concert hall, and the gentle and delicate music sounded like children playing on the street, which made the audience under the stage raise their mouths uncontrollably, and even some active little audiences were delighted. Waving his small fist, he swung the little rabbit in his hand with one fell swoop.

After the prologue was over, the gradually serious music slowly flowed out, depicting a magnificent scene for the audience.It seems that we have returned to the medieval Europe hundreds of years ago. The great emperor was waiting to take the throne. Young men and women all over the country danced excitedly on the dance floor to congratulate the new emperor.

This is the most classic Viennese waltz style, dignified yet lively, solemn yet brisk, with the rich emotions of the Viennese, enthusiastic and fresh, vividly depicting the beautiful scene when the Austrian emperor came to the throne.

This is their own Austrian music, and the audience listened with smiles. Many people even tapped the melody on the handle of the chair with their fingers.

When the last familiar ending sound landed, no guidance was needed, and the audience stood up and applauded in unison, giving back their joy and excitement to this wonderful orchestra!

If the "Ave Maria" brought them an unexpected surprise, then "The Emperor's Waltz" calmed down the slightly agitated mood just now, and also allowed the audience to calm down and wait for the last moment. performance of the first song.

On the stage, after thanking the audience for their applause, Qi Mu raised his head and exchanged a glance with Mr. Walls.

In the next second, the young man's fingers lightly touched the strings.

The audience held their breaths in unison. This song is——

"the blue Danube"!
