King of Classical Music

Georg Friedrich Handel was a famous German composer in the [-]th century. As a representative of Baroque music as famous as Bach, Handel had a good attainment in oratorio and oratorio, especially his " "Messiah" and "Hallelujah" are widely loved by future generations, and have a devout and sincere religious style.

Every year, Wei Ai’s selection of the annual album must go through several selections and considerations, and this year’s selection of Handel’s music is to make up for the solemn and calm music style of the past few years, and to transition to warmer religious music .

In two weeks, from the beginning of proficient repertoire, rehearsal and cooperation, to professional music recording, the recording of this record was very smooth and the effect was very good. Even Mr. Dorenza kept admiring: "This What a beautiful record!"

After the recording of the annual record is over, the subsequent work naturally has nothing to do with the members of Wei Ai, and basically everything is handled by Mr. Tuckerman and other staff.

But this doesn't mean that Qi Mu can relax, let's not mention Wei Ai's daily practice work, he also agreed to Hua Ai's guest violinist's performance.

For an orchestra, not every concert has only the original cast members to perform. They often invite some well-known musicians as special guests to perform with the orchestra.For example, in his previous life, Qi Mu was invited by Wei Ai to cooperate with "The Blue Danube", and for example, when he was in the Hong Kong City Music Festival in this life, he also collaborated with Niu Ai on Sibelius' "First Symphony".

Most orchestras invite some well-known solo violinists to cooperate with them. First, they can use the violinist’s fame to increase the popularity of the concert. Second, it is also an attempt to break through themselves.However, very few people would invite the principal of another orchestra.

But this time, it happened to be an exception.

In the phone call two weeks ago, Ms. Zhu Liyang, the manager of the Huaxia Philharmonic Orchestra, explained her intentions to Qi Mu, and then sincerely invited him to be the special violinist of Huaai's performance in Vienna.Although Qi Mu stated that he was the chief of Wei Ai, Zhu Liyang offered him an olive branch without any hesitation.

Like Min Chen, such a reason of "to promote the dissemination of classical music in China" is really irresistible, so Qi Mu also agreed.In the subsequent negotiations, Zhu Liyang also admitted that among the well-known violinists in China, Qi Mu is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate, and they have no other choice.

But later Qi Mu found out from Zheng Weiqiao that the reason why he had to be chosen was not only that Qi Mu was indeed the best violinist among the younger generation, but also because Mr. Tan, Du Sheng, Zhu Wenjun, and Mr. Wu all had violinists. The reason for recommending him to the China Philharmonic Orchestra.

All in all, when the members of the China Philharmonic Orchestra arrived in Vienna, Qi Mu specially took half a day off to meet them at the Vienna International Airport.After all the luggage was put away, he went to the building of the Friends of Music Association together with Mr. Yu Cheng, the conductor of Hua Ai, and Mr. Yang Zhao, the chief conductor.

As October approaches, Vienna is still full of flowers, the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers, and pedestrians in the city are also enjoying afternoon tea leisurely.

The Huaxia Philharmonic Orchestra was established in 2000. Although the history of the group is not long, the strength of this orchestra is the top in China.Many outstanding young people have joined this orchestra and become the mainstay of this orchestra.

After declining the staff's kind guidance, Qi Mu took Yu Cheng and Yang Zhao into the building of the Friends of Music Association, and introduced with a smile: "Mr. Yu, Mr. Yang, this is the rehearsal hall where we will rehearse next. Yes, this is the third rehearsal hall of the Friends of Music Association building, and its acoustics are excellent."

Yu Cheng is only in his early forties this year, and he had heard Tan Lao often mention Qi Mu in Huaxia before, and now he said with a smile: "Qi Mu, you don't have to call us Mr or Mrs so politely, if you want, It’s okay to call us Lao Yu and Lao Yang, haha.”

Being able to hear the familiar Chinese in such a foreign country, Qi Mu felt very cordial at first, but now he smiled lightly, raised the corners of his lips, nodded and said: "Okay, Brother Yu, Brother Yang, let's wait a while Familiarize yourself with this rehearsal hall first, and it’s probably not too far before afternoon tea time.”

Then, Qi Mu got acquainted with the third rehearsal hall with Yu Cheng and Yang Zhao, only to hear Yang Zhao say: "This rehearsal hall is pretty good, Sister Zhu arranged everything properly, and the people here also It's all negotiated."

When "Sister Zhu" was mentioned, Qi Mu remembered: "By the way, Brother Yang, didn't Sister Zhu come today?"

Yang Zhaolang said with a smile: "She and the violin team have a little something to do, so I have to deal with it in City B, and I can arrive tomorrow."

Hearing this, Qi Mu nodded and said: "Min Chen should be able to arrive in Vienna tomorrow, so we can be together."

Qi Mu didn't think much, and continued to lead Yu Cheng and the two to visit.When they were in the coffee shop, the three of them also met several members of Wei Ai, but it was a pity that Mr. Dorenza went to the United States to participate in a concert recently, so they did not meet him again.

When they separated, Qi Mu took the initiative to pick up Zhu Liyang and the others the next day. Although both Yu Cheng and Yang Zhao thought it was a bit too troublesome, Qi Mu shook his head indifferently and said with a light smile: " On the phone, Sister Zhu and I had a very pleasant chat, and it happens that Min Chen will arrive in Vienna tomorrow, so it would be good to pick him up together."

Therefore, Yu Cheng did not refuse any more.

Qi Mu didn't lie, because he didn't have an agent or assistant, so the negotiations with Zhu Liyang were all carried out by himself.The more he talked with this capable and outstanding woman, the more Qi Mu felt that the other party was very decisive and sophisticated, and he was not harsh on Qi Mu in the faxed contract, but cared for him more.

Mr. Tuckerman once took the initiative to invite Ying to read his short-term contract with Huaai for Qi Mu. At the beginning, he planned to help Qi Mu check it out, but in the end, he already said with emotion: "Huaxia people are really simple and honest! Xiao Qi, this contract is of great benefit to you, they have treated you very well!"

Qi Mu naturally nodded and said, "Yes, Sister Zhu is really nice."

On the phone, the conversation between Qi Mu and Zhu Liyang was relatively official at first, but later on they gradually became friendly and casual. Sister Zhu also took care of Qi Mu, if Wei Ai's affairs were really busy, they would I won't force it.

So, it is imperative for Qi Mu to "pick up Sister Zhu's plane". It just so happens that Min Chen is also coming to Vienna, so let's pick him up by the way.

Let us mourn for a second of silence for Min Chen, who is far away in Berlin and will soon be picked up by the way.

Speaking of which, when Qi Mu took Yu Cheng and Yang Zhao out of the hotel, they went to the building of the Friends of Music Association, but the Huaai people who stayed in the hotel exploded.They didn't even pack their luggage at all. This young and energetic band gathered together excitedly and chattered.

"That was Qi Mu just now? It's really polite!"

"Isn't that right! My old classmate of the B City Symphony Orchestra told me that Qi Mu is a good talker. I still don't believe it. He is already the chief of Weiai. How can he be easy talker? It must be like some Like a person, he looks at people with his nostrils. I didn't expect him to be really gentle, and he helped Sister Lin carry the box just now, right?"

"That's right, the box was too heavy for me to carry, but I didn't know that the young man helped me lift it immediately. What a good boy!"

"I heard that the members of the Symphony Orchestra in City B call him Xiao Qi! Xiao Qi...how about we call him Xiao Qi tomorrow?"

"You don't know as much as I do! I heard from my friend that Qi Mu seems to have a very long nickname... Hey, what's the name, it's too long and I kinda forgot..."

"Xiao Li, think about it quickly. This way we can talk to Xiao Qi after rehearsal tomorrow. My sister really likes him. Before she came to Vienna, she kept saying that she wanted me to ask someone for an autograph!"

"Hey, I really forgot, why don't I ask my friends later."

"Hey, you really are!"

……

So in the early morning of the next day, Huaai's music director, Yu Cheng, took the group of members to the building of the Friends of Music Association, while Qi Mu and Yang Zhao went to Vienna International Airport to serve Zhu Liyang and the rest of the group. A member of the violin group picked him up—oh yes, and Min Chen by the way.

In the spacious and bright airport, outside the huge portholes are silver-white planes that are constantly taking off and landing. Qi Mu and Yang Zhao stood at the exit of the airway building, only to hear the latter say excitedly: "Actually, Xiaoqi, I'm not going to hide it from you." Said, I am also a fan of Min Chen's music. Although I am ten years older than him, I really like his sonatas."

Hearing this, Qi Mu was not surprised either.There are so many music fans who like Min Chen, even Mr. Dorensa does not hide his love for this old friend in private, and has praised his year-end friend to Qi Mu many times.

Qi Mu smiled and nodded: "I also like his music very much. It is really a great thing to be able to cooperate with him this time. I feel very honored."

Not just the joy of working with a lover, but also the sense of honor of working with a world-class music master.Qi Mu has played with Min Chen many times, but he has never collaborated with this man in a symphony. The piano and violin ensemble is one thing, and the symphony conductor is another. These are two completely different feelings.

Hearing this, Yang Zhao laughed and said, "I'm really looking forward to your cooperation!"

Qi Mu smiled, and the two talked a few more words, and saw a group of people walking over with suitcases and violin cases in the distance.Qi Mu saw the short middle-aged woman walking in front at a glance, he happily greeted her, and asked, "Sister Zhu?"

The other party took off the sunglasses on his face, shook hands with Qi Mu with a smile, and said, "Well, Xiaoqi, it's the first time we meet, you look more handsome than the ones on TV and in magazines!"

Zhu Liyang is a shrewd and capable woman with neat short hair. Apart from being a bit shorter than Master Julie, Qi Mu really feels that these two ladies, who even have similar names, have an inexplicable similarity—both Very energetic, lively and capable.

After Qi Mu and Zhu Liyang talked about the past for a while, under the introduction of the latter, he shook hands with Chen Zheng, the first violinist of Huaai, and then said hello to the other members of the first violin group.

When Qi Mu walked up to the last person, he looked at the young man wearing sunglasses in surprise, and blurted out: "Sheng Yanhui?!"

The other party smiled shyly: "Yes...it's me."

Qi Mu obviously didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here, he reached out to shake hands with him, and then said in a relaxed tone: "I didn't expect you to be in Huaai now, I am looking forward to working with you! Happy cooperation in the next week! "

Hearing this, Sheng Yanhui's eyes immediately burst into light. He firmly held the young man's white and tender hand, nodded and said, "Okay, happy cooperation!"

Min Chen who just came out with his luggage: "...!!!!!!"

Let me go of your salty pig's hand! ! ! !
