King of Classical Music

Anton Dvořák was one of the greatest Czech composers of the nineteenth century.

This music master who experienced the Czech national revival movement published his first music work at the age of 18, and even wrote the famous "The Bells of Cignes" at the age of 24.Since then, he has composed countless compositions in his life and made great and glorious contributions to the splendid culture of classical music.

Like the title of the Ninth Symphony in E Minor, it is clear that this is Dvořák's Ninth Symphony.

This piece is a symphony composed by Dvořák when he was the dean of the New York Conservatory of Music in the United States. Almost as long as the name "Dvořák" is mentioned, everyone will think of this "Ninth Symphony" ".

This song also has an alias called "From the New World".

This is a symphony full of hope and light, with a passionate melody and an unyielding theme. For hundreds of years, it has inspired countless warriors struggling with darkness and inspired their determination to never give up.

When Qi Mu heard the name of this piece, he suddenly realized: "Are you going to perform the fourth movement?"

At this time, the elevator door had opened, and several people walked out together, only to see Hook nodded and said, "Yes, Xiao Qi, we finally chose the fourth movement. Everyone has no doubts about the choice of music, but they have no doubts about the lineup of instruments." There are many different opinions."

By the time this was said, everyone had already walked to a solid wooden gate, and Hook, who was very happy just now, was already sad, and he sighed heavily and said, "Mr. Dorenza, Mr. Tuckerman, Mo Mr. Thor, and Xiaoqi... I don’t need to say anything more, you will probably understand when you go in.”

As soon as the words fell, Mr. Hook pressed the handle of the door as if resigned to his fate under the surprised expressions of everyone, and then gently pushed the door open.First of all, the door was only opened a crack, as if there was a little sound coming out, when the gap got bigger and bigger...

The almost solid sound wave rushed out of the gate with a swipe!

"French horns, trumpets and clarinets, "The Ninth" is about wind instruments, and if we want to fit our anniversary theme, we have to make concessions on one side! 'Night of Strings' is our promotion The key point, has been publicized for so long, how could it be possible to change the theme suddenly?!"

"But have you seen any orchestra that dared to perform "Ninth" with stringed instruments? Dali, don't take it for granted, dare you say that you have heard someone perform "Ninth" with stringed instruments?!"

"So what do you want, Ruka? At the end of the concert, let's end the concert with a brass-themed piece? God, 'Night of Strings' on posters and tickets, strings instruments ! Can't you see?!"

"Then you can tell me now, what are you going to use instead of the French horn? Instead of the trumpet? Instead of the clarinet?!"

……

I saw that in the spacious and bright conference hall, the lights were shining brightly, and the windows were bright and clean.A ten-meter-long large conference table divided the entire New Philharmonic into two parts. The two parties each insisted on their own views and were arguing fiercely, neither willing to give way to the other.

And in the center in front of the conference table, sat Mr. Swell with a slight smile.Seeing this gentle and gentle master conductor, Qi Mu suddenly thought: "Hook, how could there be a dispute in Niue? Is there anyone in the world who has the heart to refuse Mr. Swell's proposal?"

After hearing this, the bearded chief said with a complex expression: "Yes, Xiaoqi, I don't think anyone will have the heart to refuse Mr. Swell. But... suppose Mr. Swell thinks their proposals are pretty good? "

Qi Mu: "..."

After the two parties argued for a while, someone finally noticed the arrival of Qi Mu and the others.Mr. Swell was very happy to step forward and gave his old friends a warm hug. When he saw Qi Mu, the smile on his face became even brighter: "I really didn't expect that two years later Goodbye... unexpectedly under such circumstances. Xiaoqi, I am very glad to see you again."

After the hug, Qi Mu replied with a smile: "I am also very happy to meet you, Mr. Swell."

Several people exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Mr. Swell called Qi Mu and the others to sit down at the conference table.Qi Mu had just opened his chair and hadn't sat down yet, when suddenly he heard someone shouting: "Well, Master Dorenza is here! Master Dorenza has a deeper understanding of "Ninth" than we do, let's ask What does Master Dorenza think!"

"Okay, okay, let's ask Master Dorenza for his opinion."

"Oh, Mr. Dorrenza must agree with us. There are people in the world who want to use stringed instruments to play the theme of "Ninth"? How ridiculous."

"Is that what you said, Luka? I said that Mr. Dorenza will definitely agree with our idea!"

"Then we'll see, Dali! Mr. Dorenza, what do you think we should do?"

As soon as these words fell to the ground, everyone in Niu Ai turned their eyes to Mr. Dorenza who had just sat firmly.Even Swell nodded with great interest, and looked at Dorenza sitting beside him, as if waiting for the other party's answer.

The stressed Mr. Dorenza: "..."

After a while, the gentle and kind master wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked tentatively, "First of all, can someone tell me... what happened?"

Next, Hooker volunteered to explain this "dispute since the New World" from beginning to end.

Indeed, no one would have any objection to choosing "From a New World" with its positive theme and lively melody as the finale of the concert.This song is passionate and uplifting, and it is perfect for encouraging people to work hard, and it is also in line with Mr. Swell's idea of ​​"playing for the disaster victims in Utah".

However, the problem lies precisely in this song "From the New World".

All the members of New Ai agreed to use the fourth movement of "From the New World" as the performance repertoire. However, there was a problem. In the fourth movement, the main theme was performed jointly by French horn and trumpet , the sub-theme is a clarinet sonata-in short, all wind instruments.

On the promotional posters and tickets that Niu Ai had printed out long ago, the theme of this concert was printed in large fonts: A Night of String Instruments.

A concert with the theme of "string instruments" ended with a piece of wind instrument theme?

Not to mention what the audience would think then, even Qi Mu felt that it was too inappropriate!

After listening to Hooker's explanation, Mr. Dorenza also frowned in embarrassment, and said: "The choice of music is very good, and the theme of the concert is also good. There is really nothing to change, and there is indeed a conflict. Then... ...Swell, what do you think?"

Mr. Swell said bluntly: "If I have any good proposals, Dorrenza, I will not wait for you to come."

Mr. Dorenza, who was swayed by an old friend: "..."

Being stared at by nearly a hundred pairs of eyes from all of Niu Ai, even Mr. Dorenza began to feel troubled.This kind of thing that can cause a large orchestra to quarrel for a long time, even Abeke Dorenza, can't think of a solution for a while.

The gray eyebrows furrowed tighter and tighter, and just as he was thinking, Mr. Dorenza suddenly saw a shadow in his peripheral vision.A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he asked, "Xiaoqi, you young people have a lot of ideas, do you have any suggestions to share?"

As soon as the words came out, all the dark eyes turned to Qi Mu again.

Qi Mu whose smile froze at the corner of his mouth: "..."

Are you such a misfortune, Monsieur Dorrenza! ! !

Under such strong pressure (the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes), Qi Mu thought for a long time, and with difficulty pulled out a smile: "Indeed, the theme has already been publicized, so it cannot be changed, but no one has ever used it. The stringed instruments played the theme of the fourth movement of "From the New World"..."

"Xiaoqi, have you figured out a way?" Hook said in surprise.

Qi Mu: "..." How can you tell that he has figured out a way!

Feeling depressed in his heart, Qi Mu opened his mouth and was about to admit "I really have nothing to do", but the next second he was startled, and a very familiar scene suddenly recalled in his mind.It's as if there was once a group of disputing orchestra members in the chamber of some theater desperate for some kind of innovation, and they chose to...

"Is it really not possible to use stringed instruments instead of wind instruments?"

The suddenly raised voice of the young man stunned everyone. Under the bright and warm sunlight, this handsome young man smiled and raised the corners of his lips, and began to narrate a story: "Mr. Swell, Mr. Dorenza ,Before I worked for Wei Ai, I was the principal of the orchestra in Vienna's Palaisson Theatre. Our theater holds a concert on Christmas Eve every year. Last year, we faced such a problem... "

When Qi Mu finished speaking, Mr. Dorenza nodded emphatically: "Yes Xiao Qi, I still remember that time you sang with violin solo instead of human voice. It was really a brilliant and beautiful "Holy Virgin Ode, I find it hard to believe that you guys would come up with such a creative adaptation."

With Mr. Dorenza's approval, the rest of the Niuai people who were still skeptical were also relieved.

I saw Qi Mu continue to explain with a smile: "That's right, Mr. Dorenza, since the violin can replace the human voice, then... why can't the stringed instrument replace the wind instrument? What we are currently facing is nothing more than two problems. First, How to adapt it? Second, what kind of lineup of string instruments will be used to replace wind instruments?"

Mr. Swell nodded slightly: "Well, you are right."

""From the New World" wants to be positive and optimistic, with a bold and fierce momentum. Indeed, wind instruments can express this more easily."

"However, one violin is not powerful enough, what about the two? What about adding a viola and a cello?"

"If you don't take the first step, no one will know what kind of situation you will face next. Maybe... this is actually very easy."
