King of Classical Music

A week passed by quickly, and when the Vienna concert of the China Philharmonic Orchestra officially arrived, these young Chinese musicians who came from afar seemed to have peeled off a layer of skin, and felt that their bones were about to shatter. The whole person is going to be bad.

This week can be said to be the most difficult seven days for these young musicians.In order to allow young people to have more opportunities to exercise, the musicians sent by Huaai this time are basically the younger generation in the orchestra, while the older generation is still in the Huaxia base camp, waiting to watch this live broadcast .

Young people have the benefits of being young - endurance.

Rehearsal is on time at eight in the morning, a short lunch break at noon, and afternoon tea in the afternoon?That's impossible!Afternoon tea for Westerners is a dream for these members of Huaai who bear heavy responsibilities!They had to spare all possible time to rehearse all six pieces properly.

If you say: How about we stay up for seven days and get up early and dark to rehearse the concert?

That's not OK!

A good rest is very necessary for all members, otherwise you don't have a good rest and are not in good shape during rehearsal?That's even worse!

Therefore, during this week, the Huaai members rehearsed with intense energy and assiduously every day. If they couldn't rest well, they had to improve the efficiency of time utilization and focus.

On the third day, Sheng Yanhui hesitantly found Qi Mu, who was wiping the rosin, taking advantage of the vacant period of communication between Min Chen and Chief Chen Zheng.After being coy for a while, he still couldn't help asking: "Qi... Qi Mu, are you and Mr. Min... together?"

Sheng Yanhui asked very cautiously, and deliberately lowered his voice so that the other members who were talking casually around could not hear.But after hearing his words, Qi Mu's eyes widened in surprise. Just when Sheng Yanhui thought that Qi Mu would definitely deny it, he saw this handsome young man smile slightly, nodded and said, "Yes, I'm with Min Chen together."

Sheng Yanhui: "..."

After a while, Sheng Yanhui also felt that his worries just now seemed superfluous.Facing such a frank and straightforward young man, his cautious appearance just now was nothing to worry about.

So Sheng Yanhui moved his seat slightly closer to Qi Mu, and said with a smile: "I thought...you would hide this matter and not tell it."

Qi Mu put the piano bow aside, smiled lightly, hooked his lips and shook his head: "I am indeed with Min Chen, there is nothing to hide about this matter, you are my friend, since you asked, I will Of course I will answer you."

you are my friend.

The simple six words dissipated all the worries and scruples Sheng Yanhui had had for the past four days.

From the first time he saw Qi Mu at the Vienna International Airport, Sheng Yanhui didn't know what attitude he should take to face this gentle and friendly young man.A year ago, he had had a beautiful love for this young man, although before that love had time to germinate, he was killed in the cradle by a certain man with a hug and a look.

But Sheng Yanhui still didn't know how he should treat Qi Mu.

In a year's time, Sheng Yanhui organized a small four-member orchestra in the first four months, and made a name for himself in China. In the next two months, he returned to the Munich Academy of Music to participate in the final exam and graduation ceremony.After graduating from the academy, he followed the advice of his family and the recommendation of his former teacher, directly joined the Huaxia Philharmonic Orchestra, and became the deputy principal within half a year.

Sheng Yanhui thought that he was already very good. Among the younger generation in Huaxia, he was definitely one of the small group of people standing at the top.But just when he became the deputy chief of Huaai, the news came that "Qi Mu became the first deputy chief of Weiai in Huaxia"!

Just when Sheng Yanhui aimed at this young man and planned to continue working hard, it was only a few months...

He is the chief again! ! ! !

There seems to be only one word difference between Wei Ai's deputy chief and chief, but everyone understands——

This is definitely not a distance that can be formed by the weight of a word.

Sheng Yanhui was completely convinced, and he no longer had any thoughts of catching up with that young man. He only wanted to take the other party as his goal and walk out of his more brilliant life.Just like what Qi Mu said to him in the backstage of that private concert in city b two years ago——

You need to rise above yourself, not anyone else.

Thinking of this, Sheng Yanhui let out a long sigh, and the last bit of ambiguous thoughts in his heart completely dissipated.He looked frankly at the handsome young man in front of him, and said with a smile, "I bless you all, Qi Mu."

Qi Mu didn't know what kind of battle between heaven and man had gone through in Sheng Yanhui's heart just now, but he also found that there was a little more sincerity and enthusiasm in this old friend's smile, which made him feel relaxed.

"Thank you for your blessing, Sheng Yanhui." After a pause, Qi Mu suddenly thought: "By the way, when I heard you play "The First Symphony Overture" just now, it seemed that there was a problem with the tremolo in the second section. Do you have any doubts about the fingering of this paragraph?"

Sheng Yanhui was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly came over: "Yes, the fingering in this paragraph is the same as the way I used to..."

Talking about professional issues, Qi Mu and Sheng Yanhui no longer had the relaxed and casual attitude just now. They studied the fingering of this rhythm very carefully, and finally after many attempts, they found a person who was as normal as Sheng Yanhui. The fingering is the most similar way, and the test is successful.

After Sheng Yanhui played the short melody again, he thanked excitedly: "Thank you so much, Qi Mu! When Professor Carl taught me, he always paid more attention to my right-hand bow technique. He thought my There is no problem with left fingering, but there are still some differences between Chinese composers and Western composers in the way of arrangement, and I do often encounter some problems after graduating from the academy."

Qi Mu understood Sheng Yanhui's problem very well, because he had studied some differences between Chinese and Western composers when he was at the Geneva Academy.After all, the ancient Chinese music is all in the five-tone mode Gongshangjiao Zhengyu, while in the West, the seven-tone mode is the main one. Even though most composers now compose based on the seven-tone mode, there are differences as it should be.

Thinking of this, Qi Mu shared some of his previous research experiences with Sheng Yanhui.

So when Min Chen came back, what he saw was such a scene——

The young man smiled and talked to the man beside him. He was very patient and would analyze and explain every question Sheng Yanhui asked in detail.Sometimes he even took Sheng Yanhui's hand directly to make some corrections and demonstrations on the handle.

Min Chen: "..."

After the afternoon rehearsal started, a "First Symphony Overture" was played perfectly and smoothly.Although there are still some minor mistakes that need to be corrected in individual places, there are basically no major problems.

Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they saw that cold and indifferent man suddenly pointing straight at the deputy principal of the orchestra sitting in front of the first violin group, like a baton.

Sheng Yanhui's eyes widened: "!!!"

Min Chen raised his eyes to look at him expressionlessly, and said in a flat tone: "The first note in the opening, you inserted it half a beat late."

Qi Mu: "..."

Sheng Yanhui: "..."

Hua Ai everyone: "..."

So, what exactly is a half-half-beat! !

Just like that, when the concert was about to come, all the members of Hua Ai were paralyzed half dead, except for Qi Mu who had already gotten used to Min Chen's rhythm and felt that Min Chen hadn't compressed the time even tighter. I sat in my seat and listened to Zhu Liyang talk about some things to pay attention to tomorrow.

"We have participated in many large-scale concert performances before, but this time is a bit different. This time, National Channel 1 will broadcast our concert live, and people all over China will see your performance The situation. Whether classical music can be more effectively promoted in China depends on tomorrow's concert."

"Our performance this time is a very symbolic performance, so at tomorrow's concert, everyone must be prepared." Speaking of this, Zhu Liyang turned to look at Min Chen and said with a smile: "Mr. Give everyone a little time to rest, everyone has worked hard during this time."

Hearing this, Min Chen didn't object: "Well, okay, let's rest tomorrow morning, and rehearse it again in the afternoon."

After getting Min Chen's consent, Zhu Liyang continued to explain some precautions for tomorrow, and asked Huaai's accompanying staff to distribute all the dresses they had prepared to each member.

When Qi Mu received the exquisite and beautiful dress, he was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously raised his head to look at Zhu Liyang.The latter also looked at him with a tacit smile and explained: "Because we attach great importance to this performance, Xiao Qi, please change into our orchestra's special dresses for you and Min Chen."

Zhu Liyang expressed apology, but Qi Mu naturally smiled and nodded in agreement: "Ok Sister Zhu, I will put this dress on tomorrow." But after a while, looking at the gorgeous patterns on it, Qi Mu finally Still couldn't help but asked: "But sister Zhu...is the pattern on it..."

"Oh, did you find out? It's Suzhou embroidery. I asked the embroiderer to sew it by herself. It's very symbolic."

Qi Mu swallowed a little, and said again: "Well, it's Su embroidery. But sister Zhu, isn't this dress too..."

"Do you like it very much, Xiaoqi? After the performance, you can take this dress away. Because you are the guest violinist, your clothing style is a little different from other members, and the workmanship is also better. Fine. But you, sister Zhu, can still make this one, if you like it, take it away."

Qi Mu: "..."

But Miss Zhu, don't you really think this dress is really too dazzling? ! !
