King of Classical Music

Guarneri del Gesu is the most outstanding violin maker in the world after Stradivari.

The life of this master violin maker is not long, only 46 years, but in these 46 years of precious time, he has produced 135 violins and a cello, each with its unique name , and is famous all over the world.

The most well-known of them probably belongs to the "cannon".The name of this "cannon" has become a myth in the hearts of violinists all over the world along with its owner, Paganini. Any violinist is proud of "being able to play music with that violin" in his life. things.

Of course, this is not to say that the timbre and quality of the "Cannon" must be the best in the world. Every Guarneri violin has extremely strong strength and wild tension. A steed is difficult for ordinary people to control.

And at this moment, Qi Mu is holding such a heavy key, and doesn't know how to make a choice——

This meeting gift was really too expensive, which made him a little apprehensive.

Every Guarneri violin can be auctioned for a sky-high price, even millions or tens of millions of euros.There are only 135 violins in this series. In the past, Qi Mu only had a little understanding of the more famous "Cannon" and "Jessie", but now... when Min Chen mentioned "Ke Dong", he never In my memory, I recalled the violin I saw in the museum.

According to Min Chen, this violin has been kept by the Bertram family since 40 years ago, and before his birth, his father gave it to his mother as a betrothal gift, and it was indeed lent to the museum later. Exhibited.But now, since his mother gave Qi Mu the key to this violin, then this violin belongs to Qi Mu.

For this matter, Min Chen even showed more enthusiasm than Qi Mu. On the third day after Liz left, he asked someone to take out the heavy box from the Swiss bank and sent it directly to Qi Mu , just waiting for him to open the box.

Now that it was already at this time, Qi Mu had no choice but to carefully take out the bronze key from the safe at home, then moved the box into the piano room, and placed it directly on the black-painted grand piano panel Up, and finally looked at the dark keyhole seriously.

Qi Mu took a deep breath, then let it out slowly, and then... gently inserted the key into the small keyhole.With a crisp sound of the lock and key opening and closing, Qi Mu seriously and solemnly opened the lid of the case, and then gently took out the dark black piano case.

When "Ke Dong" appeared in the air, it seemed that even time froze for a moment.The bold and unruly streamlined structure, the narrow and smooth body, the most characteristic vertical stripes on both sides of the fingerboard, the wide body seems to imply what will happen when the air reverberates in the body. Thick and powerful sound!

From the first moment he saw him, Qi Mu understood that "Ke Dong" is a violin completely different from "Edith"!If the former is a wild and unrestrained warrior with a rough and heroic voice, then the latter is a gentle princess on the high mountains, with a high-pitched and sharp piano sound.

The white and slender fingers of the young man gently caressed the strings of "Ke Dong", and the hazy and bright moonlight was reflected on the metallic strings, as if he could not wait to prepare for the performance. , Show your brilliance to the world once again!

Facing such a strong and fit violin, Qi Mu has absolutely no way of resisting it.He immediately tuned it, rosined it, and played a "Devil's Trill" straight in the piano room!

The majestic and majestic tone echoed in the quiet piano room. When the song ended, the lingering sound still reverberated.

Qi Mu already knows who is more suitable for what kind of repertoire compared with "Ke Dong" and "Edith", and also knows how to use them best in the future.

But at this moment, Qi Mu did not expect at all that in the next few decades, it would be these two excellent violins - the Si-style violin "Edith" and the Guarl's violin "Kedon", who would accompany him through the years. It has lived a long and bright time, and together with the name "Qi Mu", it has become a myth of the times!

After receiving the violin, Qi Mu asked Min Chen to bring his highest thanks to Mrs. Annalia Burtram.

To this, Min Chen agreed in a low voice, but when Christmas Eve approached, when the two couples who had traveled around Australia and finally returned home appeared, Min Chen didn't even need to speak. The beautiful and elegant lady who was somewhat similar to Min Chen hugged her son, and said with a smile, "Min Chen, how about the betrothal gift that mother gave to your wife? He must like it very much!"

The handsome and noble man was looking down at the newspaper at this moment, when suddenly he was hugged so violently, he broke free from his mother's warm embrace without changing his face, and then said calmly, "Bowwage?"

Anna smiled and said, "That's right, that 'Kedon' is a very good violin, isn't your wife a violinist? Anyway, your violin level is just like that, give me this 'Kedon' Your daughter-in-law is fine."

Hearing this, Min Chen solemnly put down the newspaper in his hand, raised his head and asked, "Is this the betrothal gift?"

Anna was taken aback: "Isn't this a bride price?" It can't be a dowry...

"not enough."

"Eh?!"

"I remember that there is also a violin concerto score written by Mozart in the family, and a symphony score by Haydn. If I remember more clearly, it seems that some of Mr. Karajan's out-of-print records are also in good condition. In the warehouse, haven’t they been taken out? Oh, yes, there are also a few records of Menuhin, and..."

Bertram couple: "..."

After talking for a full 5 minutes, Min Chen hesitated for a while and decided to end this topic temporarily.Then he looked up at the Burtram couple who had been completely dumbfounded, and smiled with a low smile: "Shouldn't these... all be dowry gifts?"

Bertram couple: "..."

You are going to evacuate the whole house! ! ! ! ! !

Okay, once you have a daughter-in-law, you forget about your mother! !

Time flies, when 2018 is approaching, at noon on the 30th, Qi Mu is going to take Professor Akkad and Mr. Lance who came to Vienna to Berlin to listen to the live New Year's concert of Bo Ai .But he had just brought Mr. Lance to the Friends of Music Association building when he received a call.

The girl on the other side of the phone said, "Sister-in-law! I heard from Oston brother that you will come to Berlin to listen to the live New Year's concert this year! Vienna and Berlin are so far apart, and you are too anxious to go back that night. So I'm here to pick you up! Sister-in-law, why don't you talk?"

Qi Mu: "..."

Take back your "sister-in-law" and I'll talk to you!

After being depressed for a long time, Qi Mu sighed and said, "Liz, don't worry about it, I will drive the teacher and Master Lance tonight. It's very convenient for the three of us to go together, and it's not in a hurry .”

To have this young girl pick him up from Berlin to Vienna?This is too exaggerated, he drove there by himself, so why bother Liz to drive here so enthusiastically?

Unexpectedly, after hearing Qi Mu's words, the girl strongly refused: "No need, sister-in-law, I have already arrived in Vienna! Wait a minute, I'm almost at the building of the Friends of Music Association, look up, we I'll come to you right away!"

When he heard the word "raise his head", Qi Mu already had a bad premonition in his heart.And when he heard the buzzing sound coming from above his head, Qi Mu subconsciously looked up, and when his eyes touched the girl who kept waving at him, he froze.

Qi Mu: "..."

Is there such a thing as showing off your wealth? ! ! !

Although Liz's behavior completely shocked Qi Mu, as she said, using a helicopter to go back and forth between Berlin and Vienna really saved a lot of time, and Qi Mu even felt that he had just boarded The helicopter arrived in Berlin in the blink of an eye.

In any case, this time Qi Mu fulfilled the promise he made to Master Lance a year ago: to bring him and his teacher to the Berlin Philharmonic Hall to listen to a live Bo Ai New Year's concert.

After the concert was over, because Qi Mu was in a hurry to catch Wei Ai's New Year's concert the next day, they left without waiting for Min Chen's interview to end.When the group of them was about to arrive in Vienna by helicopter, Qi Mu suddenly received a text message.

Min Chen: [...you don't wait for me. 】

Although there are only four short words, the strong resentment is directly expressed.

Qi Mu didn't even need to think about it, he could guess what kind of gloomy expression the man had now, probably still trying to maintain a calm look, and "blame" Daniel well by the way.After all, how do you say that?

It's all Daniel's fault.

Qi Mu: [I was too late, so I came back first.Tonight's performance was excellent, and I saw a lot of audience applauding with great excitement.The teacher also praised you, saying that your style is becoming more and more tense, but not lacking in restraint. ] There was silence on the phone for a moment, and then Min Chen sent another text message: 【Even if you praise me, I will still be angry. 】Qi Mu: "..."

Who wants you to calm down! ! !

After being speechless for a while, Qi Mu simply changed the subject: [By the way, when Liz came to pick me up today, I suddenly realized...it turns out that the surname "Bertram" is so important.But compared to Liz, you are really poor, Min Chen...] While typing, Qi Mu couldn't help but chuckle.He could guess that when the man saw this text message, his face must have turned dark, and he quickly replied to him...

Hey, the text message came so soon? !

Min Chen: [... I am frugal. 】

Qi Mu: "..."

So are you thrifty driving a Continental? ! ! ! !
