King of Classical Music

When Qi Mu was still in Huaxia, he once heard Zheng Weiqiao tell such a joke: If you are loved by millions of people, you are an idol superstar; if you are loved by tens of millions, you are a leader; if you are loved by hundreds of millions of people... oh !So you are RMB!

Although this is just a casual joke, it also illustrates a truth——

There is no one person in the world who is liked by everyone.

Even a good-tempered Mr. Dorenza has Zayev behind his back to deceive and betray, let alone others?

There are many fans around the world who love Paganini, the king of violin, and some even regard him as a legend that he pursues all his life.Of course, there are also many people who hate this master, thinking that he has gorgeous and gorgeous skills, but the sound of the piano lacks emotion.

This is of course nonsense. After all, music from hundreds of years ago will not be preserved by any means. Only the notes and music reviews of the listeners record the legend of this violin master.

The difficulty of the violin is divided into two parts, the first is technique, and the second is emotion.

Beethoven's "Violin Concerto in D Major" is a piece full of emotion. Even people who don't understand music at all can experience a kind of joy and satisfaction emerging from the strings from the music, and even There are a lot of people who think—

"After listening to this song, no matter how bad the mood is, I suddenly feel happy."

But this piece "D major" really can't be regarded as such a difficult piece. In the hands of professional violinists, it can only be regarded as medium difficulty without too many complicated skills.

Having feelings is enough to reflect the beauty of this song, what else is needed?

Adding icing on the cake is easy to say, but difficult to do. Over the years, some people have indeed adapted this piece of music, but there are very few people who are amazed. It can only be said that it is almost the same as the original song, and there is not much improvement.

Adapting a piece of music requires not only the adaptor's understanding and cognition of the piece, but also the adaptor's excellent ear and music skills.Therefore, usually those who can adapt a piece of music are masters in a certain field, such as outstanding pianists, violinists, cellists, etc.

Of course, in an orchestra, the conductor and the chief violinist are usually responsible for this job. For example, the two adaptations of "Ave Maria" and "The Blue Danube" that Qi Mu once played were performed by him and Mr. Walls. Discussed and edited together.

But now this song "D Major", it is no longer possible to have other people's participation.

Off the stage, Mr. Dorenza's back was straight, his body was leaning forward slightly, and he stared intently at the young man playing with lowered eyes on the stage. He focused all his attention on his ears and did not let go. through any small rhythm.

But now the young man is playing too fast, so even Mr. Dorenza woke up suddenly when he heard the second short section, and shouted in a low voice: "The small cantonese of the second movement?!"

The four Mottoers on the side were stunned.

The elements of a piece of music are divided into 9 aspects, including rhythm, tune, harmony, strength and so on.

For rhythm, another element of it is speed.When composing a piece of music, composers often mark symbols on the score to tell the player at what speed to play the piece. Generally speaking, such symbols are in Italian, starting from the slowest broad board, Adagio, Adagio... all the way to medium, allegro and presto.

And the speed slightly faster than the wide board is called the small wide board——

"Larghetto. 』

Beethoven's "D major" has a total of three movements, the first movement is a not too fast Allegro, the third movement is an Allegro, and the second movement is a small Cantonese.

The second movement is the most Beethoven-inspired lyrical piece in the whole piece, played by the clarinet and violin as the main rhythm, showing a warm and smooth rhythm, which makes people feel relaxed.

But now, the melody played by Qi Mu really cannot be called a small cantonese, no, it has even surpassed the speed of the allegro, and it has truly become a presto!

I am afraid that only Master Dorenza present can react within ten seconds to what this piece of music, which has been speeded up several times, is, because everyone present has discovered that when the second movement speeds up to a presto, it has a supernatural power. The rush and enthusiasm of imagination!

Just listen to the passionate and extremely fast melody, which is coming out of the small sound hole.The slender fingers of the young man had already become phantoms, quickly moving back and forth on the strings.And his right hand is holding on to the bow, jumping the bow at an even faster speed!

Five tones...no!

It is ten tones, more than a dozen tones jumping out on a drawn bow at the same time!

Simply speeding up the rhythm according to the speed of the music is not a good arrangement, because sometimes this melody is not suitable for playing at this speed, and sometimes this melody needs to add a few notes, or omit a few notes.

So at this moment, the music of the second movement is slightly different from the original version, but if you listen carefully, it still repeats Beethoven's main theme, but the more enthusiastic and cheerful tune than the third movement makes people I couldn't help being excited, as if I saw the rising sun!

More orgasm than orgasm!

Obviously it was interrupted suddenly at the original climax of the third movement, but the tune that is connected now does not make people feel awkward. On the contrary, it is seamless and makes people wonder: Could it be... Beethoven made such a small game in the first place , I want to see if any posterity can discover its intention?

Listening to such high-spirited and joyful music, Mr. Dorenza's frowning brows slowly relaxed.His eyes were still focused on Qi Mu, but the bewilderment in it was replaced by deep appreciation.

Not just Master Dorenza!

Mottoer, Nazate, Anthony, Tuckerman...

All the judges who heard this couldn't help but smile.

They have always believed that age is not a necessary factor to consider an excellent musician. For example, Mozart performed on stage at the age of 4, Schubert wrote hundreds of classic songs before the age of 31, and the closest one is Auston Burt Lem wrote his first etude at the age of 9, and Kedori won the Paganini Violin Competition at the age of 14.

You said, why is God's heart so crooked?

Such a violinist with outstanding strength and excellent musicality is actually so personable and handsome? !

This mind is out of the solar system! ! !

Qi Mu on the stage naturally didn't know the messy thoughts of everyone in the audience. After inserting this second movement into the music at a very fast speed, he quickly brought the melody back to the stage with an extremely beautiful scale. to the original sheet music.

When the song ended, even Qi Mu gasped slightly, his fair and plump forehead was covered with fine sweat.

Although he had such an idea and tried it in the lounge before, when he performed the repertoire he adapted again, Qi Mu still put in a lot of effort, using absolute pitch to ensure the harmony of the rhythm.

After waiting for a few seconds, Qi Mu took a deep breath, then smiled and looked at the crowd off the stage. As soon as his eyes met Mr. Dorenza, he heard a high-pitched "Bravo" from the side!

Qi Mu turned around in surprise, and saw Wei Ai's second conductor, Mr. Motor, was looking at him seriously at this moment. He stood up and applauded non-stop.Under his leadership, the other four laughed and applauded, and even the two staff members standing at the door (including the rigid and serious Roman) clapped appreciatively.

If it wasn't for the situation, they might have shouted "Encore".

Qi Mu bowed politely to express his gratitude. Mr. Dorensa looked at the young man with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Since your performance is over, then I can call 'Little Seven' now, right?"

Speaking, Dorenza turned to look at the four judges next to him, and saw the latter nodding one after another, saying: "The performance is over, so there is no need to avoid suspicion, Dorenza."

So Master Dorensa went on to say: "Xiao Qi, before you came on stage, I was held hostage by these nasty guys: they didn't allow me to say a word with you, they actually thought... I would favor you, Give you a hint?"

Seeing Master Dorensa's helpless expression, Qi Mu couldn't help but chuckled.

Mr. Nazate, who was only listening to the side, said jokingly: "Dorrensa, don't deny it. A few days ago, who took the recommendation letters from Bertram and Arkad and strongly suggested to recruit directly at the members' meeting of the orchestra. Did you appoint Qi Mu as the deputy chief? You said it again in the last meeting yesterday, don’t think that you can skip the recruiting meeting because you got the recommendation letters from Farrar and Lance.”

After hearing this, Mr. Dorensa spread his hands with a wry smile, and said to Qi Mu: "Xiaoqi, look, these stubborn guys don't believe in your strength at all. I told them repeatedly, you are in Paley. Even Auston and the others can attest to how well they performed in the concert at the Sen Theater!"

Qi Mu never thought that Mr. Dorenza would actually think of "omitting the recruiting meeting and directly recruiting him as the deputy chief", but at this moment, when he heard about it, he couldn't help but soften his heart , very moved.

Mr. Dorenza has indeed heard several performances by Qi Mu, and he has also received the album sent to him by Professor Akkad, but even if Qi Mu can really pass the recruitment meeting with his own strength, Mr. Dorenza is still recruiting This behavior before the meeting was risky enough.

In case Qi Mu is not up to the task, then it is simply smashing the signboard of Abeke Dorenza.

A conductor who can't even distinguish between good and bad?

Then you can pack your things and get out.

In this regard, Qi Mu smiled and said: "Thank you, Mr. Dorenza, I believe you will not give me any hints."

At this moment, Motol spread his hands helplessly: "Obviously I also put five Mozart pieces in the draw box, so how come the three people playing now are all drawn by Beethoven?"

Anthony, the chief of the orchestra, said with a smile: "Luck, Mr. Dorenza's luck has always been very good."

After a few people chatted and laughed again, Mr. Dorenza looked at Qi Mu and asked seriously: "Xiao Qi, the third movement you just made really surprised us. Now I want to ask you a question , why did you choose to adapt this piece of music like this? I hope you can give me a reasonable answer, otherwise..."

"On behalf of the great Mr. Beethoven, I will cruelly reject your adaptation."
