King of Classical Music

High wattage spotlights shine down from the top of the concert hall, illuminating the small circular stage.The handsome and tall young man held a light yellow spruce violin in his hand, and walked towards the stage step by step. The violin was imitated in the style of a Si-style violin, with the most rounded and smooth lines, and it was placed in any violin shop. Absolutely stunning.

As for her master, the audience couldn't help but take a few more glances.

The young man's appearance is very handsome, even if they are not the most outstanding they have ever seen in this life, but even in the entertainment circle full of beauties, they are definitely not bad.

In fact, many people on the field already knew Qi Mu, especially the editors of some magazines and newspapers. In the past two months, they often reported some news about the Symphony Orchestra of City B, and from time to time they would report about this young man. information.

Wang Zheng, the editor-in-chief of "Hall of Music", thought for a while. It seems that the last time he saw his subordinates write news about this young man, it seemed that...he became the assistant principal of the B City Symphony Orchestra? !

That's right, at only twenty years old, this young man is already the assistant principal of the City B Symphony Orchestra!

Qi Mu walked very gracefully, he seemed to be walking slowly, but in fact it was very fast, and he reached the center of the stage in a short while.Such a small concert does not need an introduction from the host, and generally speaking, the performers don't say much, they just need to play.

Qi Mu slightly bent down and bowed politely, he raised his body and looked around the auditorium.Just when he was about to raise the bow and start playing, a familiar figure suddenly came into his sight, making Qi Mu stunned.

A pair of deep and dark eyes were also staring at him at the moment.

This familiar feeling made Qi Mu involuntarily remember that during the last tour of the orchestra last month, the owner of these eyes was sitting in the left side of the third row. He raised his head and met the other party.

At that time, Qi Mu subconsciously thought that the other party was not looking at him, but today...

Must be looking at him.

Qi Mu, who was standing alone on the stage, suddenly felt amused, and couldn't help but curl his lips.The next moment, he raised the bow in his hand without thinking about it, placed it lightly on the bowstring, and then pointed to the string with his left hand and pressed it. Immediately, a melodious and euphemistic sound came from the piano hole. out.

That voice was like the most genial warm wind in spring, with the sweet voice of a violin, making everyone smile and listen carefully.Many people also seemed to suddenly think of something and hurriedly took out their performance repertoire to look at. Finally, they all stared at the small words "The repertoire of the performance is based on the performance of the day" and laughed without saying a word.

This one is not "Gypsy Rhapsody".

It is Mendelssohn's Concerto in E minor.

The popularity of this piece can be said to be that many people who do not study classical music have heard of it.Mendelssohn was born in the early [-]th century. He grew up in a wealthy family. His father was a well-known banker and his mother was a famous pianist. This German composer who grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth wrote many piano pieces and violin concertos throughout his life. Never had a sad tune.

Taking the most famous masterpiece "E Minor" as an example, Mendelssohn used three movements to describe a soft and beautiful scene. The whole piece is cheerful and lively. There are many violinists who perform this piece every year. Du Sheng is One of the best.

But everyone clearly understands that Du Sheng's "E Minor" is absolutely different from this young man's!

The first movement is an allegro, and the most famous cadenza is usually performed by the violin solo when the orchestra is performing.The "E Minor" played by Du Sheng is a kind of wide-ranging joy. To put it simply, it is like a big family gathering together in harmony.

But the "E Minor" played by Qi Mu has a kind of liveliness wandering among mountains, rivers and streams.Every pull of the bow will bring about a burst of impact of stream water and spring stones, which is crisp and melodious, bright and pleasant.

On the stage, the young man tilted his head slightly and played seriously.Dancing notes flowed out from under his bow, making all the audience fall into a feast of music.

When Sheng Yanhui and other performers played before, although Daniel felt that the level was very good, it hadn't reached the point where he couldn't think about other things.But at this time, only that piece of music was echoing in his mind, and the familiar melody kept hitting and echoing in his brain.

Daniel couldn't help but compare Qi Mu's "E Minor" with Du Sheng's, and he came to the conclusion that each has its own merits and will never lag behind!

Waiting until the transition of the second movement, Daniel racked his brains to recall the "E Minor" solo that he had heard before, and he finally remembered the cadenza performed by the chief of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra—that short black fat man. Yes, he actually felt that this young man's performance was not behind that person at all!

"I really saw a ghost..."

As soon as Daniel finished speaking, the elegant and gentle Andante sounded slowly.This second movement is not as representative as the first movement, and Daniel couldn't help but think in his heart: who said that Huaxia is a rising star in symphony?He has only been here for a few days, how many outstanding young people have he met? !

These are talents! ! !

The ace manager of a certain band began to secretly look at the young people on the stage.

Well, it looks really good-looking, really good...

At this time, Qi Mu had no idea that he was being scrutinized by many people. The difficulty of playing "E Minor" is not very high among violin pieces, but it is not easy to play it well.Technique is only one part of a composition, never the whole.

There are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand people, and everyone has their own "E minor".

Du Sheng grew up in a wealthy family, and his "E Minor" always carries an atmosphere of harmony and joy. It is a kind of Chinese-style reunion, which makes people feel happy when they hear it.For Qi Mu, his "E Minor" is more of a joyful pursuit of life. He wanders alone in every corner of the world, seeing clouds and mountains. With all of these, he is already is the greatest happiness.

Until the end of the song, many people remained in their seats in a daze and did not recover.

First, a loud applause suddenly came from the backstage, and then, the roaring applause burst into flames.A layer of sweat broke out on Qi Mu's forehead due to the performance he paid too much attention to. He bowed and hurriedly planned to leave, but the applause seemed to never stop, even though he had turned around and walked away a few steps, it was still there It kept ringing.

Qi Mu walked more than ten steps, finally turned around with a smile, and returned to the stage.

There is a proper noun "encore" in classical music, which comes from French, and transliterated to Chinese means "encore".In many concerts, when the applause in the audience has not stopped for a long time, the performers will take the stage again to perform the encore repertoire.

And this time, it was the first time that an encore appeared in this concert so far!

After Qi Mu got on the stage, he bent down again and made a 90° bow seriously.

The applause of the audience stopped suddenly.

After expressing his thanks with a smile, he picked up the bow again and started playing his second piece.This time he did not perform other songs in other ways, but directly performed "Gypsy" which he was going to perform originally.

When Ravel composed this piece, he drew inspiration from Paganini's 24 Rhapsody, so the difficulty of playing "Gypsy" is already very high.Under the dazzling spotlight on the stage, the young man's slender and beautiful fingers seemed to be alive and dancing quickly.

As I said before, Qi Mu really has a pair of very good-looking hands.

Although the shape of a person's hands is not directly related to his attainments in classical music, you can see that the fat black chief of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra has a pair of fat hands, but he can also perform wonderful performances.

However, good-looking, finally enjoy the ears and eyes again, right?

Especially when the second half of the piece was played, the passionate music made the audience seem to have accepted the baptism of sound, and some people even couldn't help but beat the beat with their fingers on the chair, and performed together with Qi Mu's piano sound "play".

At the end of the music, it was a gorgeous and dazzling virtuoso performance. The white jade-like fingers danced quickly on the strings. Everyone's eyesight could hardly keep up with the afterimage of the fingers, and the atmosphere of the audience was heated up. At the climax, when the last enthusiastic piano sound disappeared suddenly, there was another thunderous applause that didn't stop.

Qi Mu's sweat had already wet the broken hair on his forehead.

The solo of "Concerto in E Minor" lasted more than ten minutes, while "Gypsy Rhapsody" was also nearly 10 minutes long, and the latter had a lot of showy parts, so even Qi Mu felt that the fingers of his left hand trembled, Numbness—after all, the original owner has not touched the piano for many years. I am afraid that only those who have received more than one year of training can play these two pieces continuously.

But the applause just didn't stop.

Qi Mu reluctantly evoked a wry smile, which in the eyes of some ladies in the audience couldn't help applauding even harder.

Qi Mu: "..." He really doesn't have the strength to perform another song!

"Bravo!"

Just when Qi Mu was hesitating and helpless, a magnetic and deep male voice suddenly sounded, which seemed a bit abrupt in the unified applause.Qi Mu raised his head and looked in that direction in surprise, only to see a stern and tall man standing up, looking at him calmly, and clapping his hands.

He didn't smile, but his deep eyes were always concentrated on Qi Mu's body, those eyes were so penetrating that Qi Mu couldn't help but look away, and didn't look at him again.

...Since Min Chen has stood up, of course the others can't do it either.

It's rare to call out "Bravo" at a small chamber concert like this, especially for a solo solo.But since Min Chen shouted out, the others can't say anything, can they?I could only stand up with this guy who didn't play cards according to the rules, and applauded in unison.

Min Chen's interruption interrupted the "encore applause" that had gathered in the audience, and Qi Mu finally got the opportunity to take the opportunity to end.Qi Mu's footsteps almost flew away when he left the stage and went backstage. God knows he really doesn't have more energy to play a piece that is more difficult than "Gypsy".

This is not the performance of the orchestra. Each band only needs to be responsible for a part of it and can get rest and adjustment time.This is his solo, so... there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

What Qi Mu didn't know was that behind him, a handsome and tall man silently watched his fleeing back for a long time, and never sat down.He didn't sit down... Many people were also embarrassed to sit down. The atmosphere was exaggerated so that everyone in the audience stood still, and no one sat down first.

Daniel was the first to notice that something was wrong.

He quickly stretched out his hand and dragged the guy who "can only make trouble" down, and said in a low voice, "Min, did you take the wrong medicine today? I want to hear a few more pieces played by that little angel." , how did you get people away?"

"Little angel?" Min Chen suddenly raised an eyebrow.

Daniel nodded as a matter of course: "Yes, what is it if it's not an angel? It's really hard to find a Chinese person with such a distinctive appearance, and his level is quite good. The last person who looked like this was Lu Ziwen, he... Uh, you pretend I didn't say anything!"

The smile in Min Chen's eyes suddenly stopped, and after a long silence, he shook his head lightly, and changed the topic: "Qi Mu's left hand is shaking a little, he needs to rest." His tone seemed calm, but unconsciously low A few degrees.

Daniel scolded himself for a long time in his heart, he looked at Min Chen's face, and asked cautiously: "Min, how do you know that this little angel needs to rest? I think he is still in good condition. Even if it is really not good, he You can also play a calmer piece of music to calm the atmosphere of the encore."

Unexpectedly, Min Chen shook his head, a strange light flickered in his dark and distant eyes.

"He doesn't choose flat pieces, he should... choose something more intense, like Paganini's D major."

Daniel was taken aback: "How do you know?"

Hearing this, Min Chen slightly turned his head and glanced at him lightly, and said, "Intuition."

"..."

The author has something to say:

Today's topic: What is a cadenza?

Everyone in Huacai can simply understand it as SOLO, which means that the band suspends the performance, and a certain person completes the performance of a certain piece of music or singing alone.There is a very, very, very famous cadenza in "E Minor", which is right, it is the first sentence at the beginning~~(≧▽≦)/~ la la la, you can go and listen to it!

Blue Empress, Fuwa really likes "E Minor", after all, it is the most familiar song for Fuwa, and its colorful part made Fuwa suffer a lot back then. QAQ
