King of Classical Music

One year ago, in Paris, the romantic and beautiful capital, the hazy and clear moonlight slowly fell from the sky, shining on the fair and handsome young man's face, forming a beautiful scene that Min Chen will never forget.

Since then, a name has been born in the world——

"nlight".

"Twilight in the Moonlight".

Half a year ago, Qi Mu played the song "Twilight" hand in hand with Min Chen.At that time, this song was very soothing and gentle, although it was only a short section of melody, it had already made Qi Mu feel the beauty and brilliance contained in it.

But now, when the piece has almost taken shape, Qi Mu has discovered that the four movements of "Twilight" have reached perfection, both in terms of technical difficulty and emotional expression, they seem to have reached a certain peak.

"This turned out to be a piano and violin ensemble sonata?! Wait a minute...piano and violin...I saw that half-finished sheet music a few days ago, could it be this piece?!" Qi Mu looked at the song in surprise Min Chen, after thinking for a while, he asked again: "Is that the score of the violin?!"

Min Chen raised his eyes and looked at him: "Well, it's a semi-finished score for the violin, only the last part of the fourth movement is left."

Hearing such an answer, Qi Mu could no longer hide his excitement and joy. He sat back on the piano bench and began to ask Min Chen carefully about the details of the piece.

An outstanding piece of music is a supreme treasure for any musician.

And this is a sonata, or an excellent violin sonata, how could Qi Mu not be excited?Now he can't wait to hear it with his own ears, what kind of song it is.

Probably because he majored in piano, among the pieces written by Min Chen, there are not many violin concertos, and most of them are piano concertos.For example, the "Violin Concerto in D Major" that Qi Mu once performed at the centennial celebration of the S City Symphony Orchestra was one of Min Chen's few violin symphonies.

When Qi Mu first met Min Chen in Huaxia, at the solo recital organized by Mr. Tan and Du Sheng, Professor Carl once said: "Oston, the music styles of the two of you are really similar. "

As a representative of the academic school, Professor Carl has a unique and meticulous understanding of classical music, and will never make mistakes in judgment, which shows——

The music styles of Qi Mu and Min Chen are really similar.

Music style sounds very mysterious. It seems that everyone's music style is related to their personal experience and perception.But in fact, even two people with very different life experiences (such as Min Chen and Qi Mu) may really have extremely similar music styles in some respects.

For example, both of them have delicate and rich emotions based on superb and excellent technology.Their sound processing is more inclined to picky and perfect classicism, the sound is orthodox and clear, and the sound of the piano is euphemistic and charming.

Compared with the gentle and beautiful impressionism and romanticism, the perfect and orthodox music like a textbook is the most prominent feature of Qi Mu and Min Chen.

It is precisely this extreme scrutiny and seriousness in the strength, rhythm, and height of each note that results in Qi Mu's gorgeous and clear violin style, and also Min Chen's gorgeous and gorgeous piano style.

A new violin sonata by a composer whose musical style is so close to his own?

This is simply the "Bible"!

The tiredness of cleaning all day suddenly disappeared completely. With the help of this piano, Qi Mu listened carefully to the piano part of "Twilight Under the Moonlight" again.After the two of them discussed the four movements of the violin part, Qi Mu simply took his own violin and demonstrated it a few times.

The bright moonlight illuminated the piano room, the sun rose in the east and the moon set in the west. The lights in the piano room did not go out all night, and Qi Mu and the two discussed here the whole night.

No one felt a little tired, even when Qi Mu followed Min Chen's unfinished sheet music and played the next piece of music directly, the always indifferent and restrained man could no longer hide the excitement in his heart, Min Chen stood up abruptly, tightly He embraced the handsome and tall young man in front of him.

Qi Mu was still holding the handle of the violin in his left hand and the bow in his right hand. He had just finished playing the incomplete fourth movement following the melody that suddenly sounded in his heart when he felt such a warm embrace.

In the way of hugging from behind, Min Chen buried his face in the young man's shoulder socket, and his hot breath blew on Qi Mu's collarbone along with this movement.

"You are my muse..."

A voice sounded like a whisper.

At this time, Qi Mu finally realized what he had just played.In fact, he himself didn't know how to play the incomplete fourth movement. He just followed his own mind and played the melody that had been clamoring in his brain.

Qi Mu smiled lightly and stretched out his hand to hold Min Chen's hand, and said in a low voice: "Min Chen, I really want to hear Bai Ai play this song "Twilight". This is your style, and this is also Bai Ai's style... ..."

"I want to play with you..."

There was a sudden stagnation in his throat, and after a long time, Qi Mu smiled lightly and nodded: "Well, let's play together."

In the afternoon of that day, Qi Mu personally sent the man to the airport, and watched the silver-white plane fly through the clouds and fly to Berlin.

Even if he didn't sleep all night, Qi Mu didn't feel tired at all, because being able to witness the birth of such an exquisite piece of music is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for any musician.

After returning to the apartment, Qi Mu tidied up a little bit, and planned to have a good rest and prepare for the next day's work.

When Qi Mu closed the door of the piano room, Min Chen's sigh-like voice sounded in his ears: "You can write a beautiful piece of music, and you can also become an excellent conductor..."

The corners of his lips were slightly raised, Qi Mu shook his head, and deleted this sentence from his mind.

Everyone has their own dreams. Min Chen said frankly that his most lofty dream is to compose moving and beautiful music.To this end, he needs to understand the sound, melody, structure, and even the sounding principle of each instrument. In this case, he touched the piano and fell in love with this instrument.

But for Qi Mu, his dream has always been the violin.

Just plain violin.

Qi Mu will never forget the Bo Ai New Year's concert that he and his adoptive parents heard together in the cramped and crowded living room in his previous life.The wonderful and outstanding performance of the principal violin has been engraved in his heart forever when he was young, and he will never forget that melody in his life.

For him at that time, it was a piece of wonderful music that he would never be able to reach in his lifetime. It was imprinted in the deepest part of his heart, and it had already become a kind of dreamlike existence.

Even after just a few years, Qi Mu found that piece of violin music - it was a piece of music in Tchaikovsky's ballet "The Nutcracker". "The March" is much simpler, but Qi Mu still can't forget the wonderful timbre of the violin at that time.

What he likes is not "The Nutcracker", but the violin.This is his most pure and simple dream, and it is also the goal he has worked hard for.

……

After the long vacation, Wei Ai began to enter a period of specially invited performances.At the end of last year, Wei Ai has accepted invitations from many parties, and will perform various performances in various countries and regions, including music festival activities and theater anniversary celebrations.

So when Min Chen just sent the violin score of "Twilight in the Moonlight" to Vienna, Qi Mu just quickly signed for the score. away from the airport.

When Qi Mu just got off the airport and arrived at the hotel, before he packed up his surname Li, he received a call from Min Chen.Listening to the voice on the phone, Qi Mu asked in surprise: "So that's the violin score?!"

Min Chen, who endured silently for a whole day and finally pretended to be nonchalant and called: "..."

While hanging up his towel, Qi Mu said helplessly, "When I just received the courier this morning, I was about to go out. Oh wait a minute... Didn't I tell you that Wei Ai is going to London soon Have you performed yet? In February, the British royal family sent an invitation letter to Wei Ai, and we will perform in four days, did I really not tell you?"

Min Chen: "..."

After a moment of silence, he said in a low tone, "Well, you didn't tell me."

Qi Mu pursed his lips, and said helplessly: "Okay, then I probably forgot, there are a lot of things going on in the orchestra in the past half month, I probably wanted to tell you all the time, but forgot to tell you." Paused After a pause, he said again: "It's okay, I have already signed for the score, and I will take it out to take a look when I return to Vienna next month."

As soon as the words fell, Min Chen's surprised voice sounded: "Next month?"

Qi Mu nodded and said: "Yes, after this concert in London is over, there will be a music festival in Chicago a week later. In another half a week, we will have a friendship event with Niu Ai, so we will still be there Stay in the United States for a while, and it is estimated that I will return to Europe in a month."

Min Chen: "..."

"Well, don't worry, I'll put the things away after I see that it's your courier, and I won't lose it."

"...I want to play with you."

"Ensemble?" Qi Mu was slightly taken aback, he put the things he had packed aside, and walked to the window.

I saw that under the dark and deep night, the bright and gorgeous lights decorated the city that never sleeps like a galaxy.The neon lights of the city make the stars dim, but the cold artificial lights also have a unique beauty.

It was as if he saw the downcast expression of that man under the same moonlight.Qi Mu stretched out his hands to cover the floor-to-ceiling windows, and comforted with a light smile: "Okay, wait for me to come back... let's play together."
