King of Classical Music

Indeed, as Zheng Weiqiao said, the middle-aged man is indeed a bit capable as the deputy principal of the B City Pipeline Symphony Orchestra. What he played was the second movement of Dvořák's "Sixth Symphony in D Major" , is a soft and slow Adagio.

The sound of the music is light and pleasant, as if gentle hands are plucking people's heartstrings. Even Qi Mu gave a good evaluation of this piece.The only pity is that at the end of the finale, the middle-aged man was obviously a little too impatient and didn't handle the peaceful ending well.

Qi Mu frowned upon hearing this.

If this were to be placed in a big orchestra concert in Europe, it would be a major mistake, the kind that could be warned or even removed from the list.But for the current job fair for the orchestra, this middle-aged man has performed well enough, at least making other contestants stand up for it.

"Children from the Qi family, in this world, you are not talented enough to do anything. Your parents passed away early, so I will discipline you for them and let you know what to say, what not to say, and where Where should I go, and where should I not go." After the middle-aged man finished playing his repertoire, he deliberately walked up to Qi Mu's side, sneered and said something.

Qi Mu suddenly laughed when he heard the words, it seems... this person really thinks that he is a soft persimmon that can be pinched casually?

"Mr. Lu, do you know... before you, what kind of person said this sentence?"

The middle-aged man was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Who is it?"

The handsome and delicate eyebrows frowned slightly, Qi Mu pretended to think for a while, and then said: "Mr. Tan, the chief conductor of the B City Symphony Orchestra, Chairman Xu of the Huaxia Music Association, the music director of the S City Symphony Orchestra...Munich Philharmonic Mr. Verona, principal violinist of the orchestra, and Mr. Derek, music director of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra. Well, that's all I can remember for now."

Qi Mu's tone was flat and calm, but the people around him widened their eyes in surprise when they heard his smiling voice, and the sound of tsk-tsk admiration sounded from time to time.

And the more the middle-aged man heard the name, the darker his face became.Not to mention the music director of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, even the chief conductor of the B City Symphony Orchestra closest to him was an existence that was too far away from his world.

The middle-aged man originally saw that Qi Mu lost his parents and family background, and wanted to make trouble and ridicule this genius child prodigy, but unexpectedly he lifted a rock and smashed himself in the foot, making him lose face.You know, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, even for the sake of relatives' relatives, it is impossible for these seniors to let others humiliate Qi Mu like this.

It's his fault that Qi Mu is willing to degenerate, if you bully him, it's your fault.

There is always a steelyard hanging in the heart of the old man.

The middle-aged man felt that his face was dull, so he had to say viciously, "If you have the ability, you can get this recruitment." After that, he left aggressively.And Qi Mu looked at his retreating back, with pity and pity in his eyes.

People who are blinded by jealousy and hatred will not go too far on this road after all.

Qi Mu didn't come early today, and the serial numbers were at the end. When it was his turn, there were only three or four people left in the field, and the middle-aged man was among them, looking at Qi Mu coldly. Get ready to see his jokes.

"Heh, a brat who thinks he hasn't played the violin for several years can really be compared with us?"

Qi Mu didn't pay attention to the deliberately provocative words. After hearing his serial number, he put down the rosin that he kept wiping, got up and walked to the front court.

The performance stage of this job fair was a small theater, and several heavyweights from the City B Symphony Orchestra sat in the center of the front row of seats.A high-wattage spotlight illuminates the center of the stage, leaving players with a place to stand.

Qi Mu took a step forward and walked over calmly.

"Qi Mu...?" The chief violinist of the City B Symphony Orchestra sitting in the front row pronounced the name in surprise, then immediately turned to look at the white-haired old man beside him, and asked tentatively, "Old Tan, what is it?" ...Is that Qi Mu?"

The white-haired old man snorted coldly and said, "Listen to the music."

The chief violinist smiled and didn't ask any more questions.

"No. 36, Qi Mu, the second movement of Dvořák's Symphony in D Major, teachers please advise."

As soon as these words fell to the ground, the face of the middle-aged man surnamed Lu who was watching from the side turned dark, and the other contestants around him covered their mouths with smirks and pointed at him.As for the people sitting in the judges' seat, they were also taken aback when they heard the words. Du Sheng, the principal violinist of the City B Symphony Orchestra, asked curiously: "Qi Mu, isn't the fourth movement the piece you chose to play?"

The name of Dvořák is a legendary existence in the history of music. He has nine of the most brilliant symphonies in his life. Among them, the Ninth Symphony that has spread all over the world has another name - "From the New World". "Symphony in D Major" is the sixth of the nine.

The main repertoire of this concert by the B City Symphony Orchestra is Dvořák's "D Major" and "Golden Spinning Wheel", so the 40 contestants who came to participate in the selection this time chose to perform from these two repertoires.Originally, what Zheng Weiqiao reported to Qi Mubao was the fourth movement of "Symphony in D Major". This is also the last part of the whole piece.

Qi Mu smiled and bent his eyes, and replied: "Mr. Du, there is no previous triple movement as a base. I think the performance of the final chapter is still lacking, so I want to temporarily change to the second movement." Seemingly casually glanced at the middle-aged man next to him who was already gnashing his teeth with anger, the smile in his eyes deepened a bit.

Du Sheng took Qi Mu's little moves into his eyes, then nodded with a smile: "Okay, then you can start playing."

After bowing politely, Qi Mu raised the violin and placed it lightly on his left shoulder. He took a deep breath, and then raised his slender and beautiful bow. From the piano hole, slowly flow out.

At the beginning of the song, people are stunned for a moment, feeling that their minds are empty and they have come to a beautiful fairyland.The fluttering vibrato, the extremely processed vibrato, and the release of the delicate sound of the violin make people almost forget where they are, and only feel that they are in a piece of soft warm water, as peaceful and tranquil as stepping on the clouds.

In the eyes of many people, the second movement of "D Major" is the most common part of the whole piece.It is not as exciting and lively as the first movement, not as witty as the third movement, and even less exciting than the fourth movement.However, just such a piece of adagio, which seems gentle and ordinary, seems to have life in Qi Mu's hands, making people feel the peace of the soul.

If the middle-aged man surnamed Lu played well before, and could reach the level of the China National Center for the Performing Arts, then Qi Mu's performance of this piece has already surpassed the other party's by far, even in Europe, it is second to none s level.

Especially in the final ending, the long and meaningful charm made all the judges here not recover from the music for a while, let alone the other contestants who were listening.

"My performance is over, thank you for listening."

The young man's low and pleasant voice brought back the thoughts of everyone present flying to the sky. Du Sheng put away his relaxed expression just now, and solemnly looked at Qi Mu on the stage.

Under the bright and dazzling spotlight, this young man with a handsome face and a tall and straight figure seemed to be able to compete with the sun, especially when he closed his eyes and played the violin just now, it seemed that there was an invisible light shining behind the young man , making it impossible to look directly at.

Du Sheng secretly thought in his heart: If this is the prodigal son that Mr. Tan often talks about... then, he might not even be as good as the prodigal son!

On the other side of the stage, the middle-aged man had already blushed angrily.

There is no need for judges to comment at all, the gap between him and this young man can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.What he played was only the second movement of "D major", but what Qi Mu played was already the whole piece, including the lightness of the prelude and the humor of the afterword. The desire to listen to the entire piece.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man didn't have the face to stay any longer, he immediately flung his sleeves away in embarrassment and indignation, his back looked in a panic, as if he was running away.

Qi Mu naturally noticed the middle-aged man's departure, he slightly raised the corners of his lips and smiled, but didn't say much.

On the judging panel, Mr. Tan Zhenghui, the chief conductor of the City B Symphony Orchestra sitting in the center, looked at Qi Mu for a long time with complicated eyes, and finally heaved a long sigh, and slowly let go of his fingers that had been clenched tightly.

Tan Laodao: "The performance was excellent, you can go down and wait for the result."

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned.And Qi Mu was also slightly startled, then smiled, bowed politely, then turned and left.

Du Sheng looked at Qi Mu's tall and handsome back, frowned suspiciously, and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Tan, why did you let Qi Mu leave without commenting on it? Isn't this... not quite in line with the rules?"

Unexpectedly, Mr. Tan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Who sets the rules?"

Du Sheng was taken aback for a moment, and then replied: "You decided."

"Oh, then the rules have changed now, and I have the final say."

"..."

All right, all right, the orchestra you're conducting, you can do whatever you want!

------

Outside the door of the small theater, Zheng Weiqiao had been waiting for a while.As soon as he saw Qi Mu appearing, he immediately went up to meet him, and quickly comforted him without saying a word: "You haven't touched the violin for many years, and you have only practiced for a few days. This failure is justifiable. You Don't take it too seriously, I heard that the City B Symphony Orchestra will start recruiting new students next month, you can try it."

Hearing this, Qi Mu opened her eyes slightly, and looked at Zheng Weiqiao amusedly.

Zheng Weiqiao, however, took Qi Mu's silence as acquiescence, and hurriedly said: "It's really not possible, there are still many friends of the teacher in S City, and we can also go to S City to develop. There are many former students of the teacher in the S City Symphony Orchestra. , Colleague, if you work harder at your level, you will definitely be able to enter the first violin group."

Under the mild and bright sunlight, the youth's black hair was irradiated with a touch of golden yellow.I saw Qi Mu slightly raised the corners of his lips, and a confident smile appeared on Li Li's handsome face, and he asked, "Brother Zheng, are you worried... that I won't be selected?"

Zheng Weiqiao was startled when he heard the words, and subconsciously asked: "Isn't it?" After a pause, he realized that he couldn't point out the matter directly, so he had to say euphemistically: "I heard from a friend just now that Mr. Tan didn't let people Giving you a comment will directly let you step down...Don't take it too seriously. Tan always watched your mother grow up. He must have his reasons for doing this. Even if you lose this time, you still have many bands You can go to recruit."

Hearing Zheng Weiqiao's words, the smile on Qi Mu's lips became even brighter.He raised his head and squinted his eyes to look at the golden-rimmed clouds in the blue sky illuminated by the sun, and suddenly asked, "Brother Zheng, what kind of orchestra is City B Symphony Orchestra?"

Zheng Weiqiao was stunned for a moment, and replied: "In China, it is already a top-notch band that is second to none."

"So... what else do you have to worry about?"

Zheng Weiqiao frowned incomprehensibly, only to hear Qi Mu say again: "If it didn't choose me, then...the Symphony Orchestra of City B is nothing more than that."

There was even a hint of a smile in the young man's calm voice, but Zheng Weiqiao was stunned in place.He stared blankly at Qi Mu carrying his violin case and walking forward, halfway as if he suddenly remembered him as the one who was left behind, and smiled and told him to hurry up.

In the blankness of her mind, Zheng Weiqiao suddenly felt that she might have seen a phantom.

He had never seen such a confident Qi Mu, with a resolute and proud aura of a king, as if he was not in China, which is a rising music scene, but in Europe, where giants stood tall.

A thought inexplicably popped up in his mind——

This person should stand on the stage of the Golden Hall, let the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra be his accompaniment, and show the world the infinite charm of symphony together with him!But there are almost no such existences in the world...

Do not!

There is one!

Back then, Min Chen let the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra become his accompaniment, a song that caused a sensation in the world, and earned the title of King of Piano under his banner.

Thinking of this, Zheng Weiqiao suddenly had an impulse in his heart. It was the blood that he had never felt since he was 30 years old. It made him want to go forward side by side with this young man, to see... what is he? How far can go.

In the evening in City B, the streets were already very congested.The vast expanse of sky is full of sunset glow dyed red by the setting sun, sweeping the entire city like a burning cloud, and many passers-by can't help but stop and admire.

The eastern sun has begun to burn.

The West, on the other hand, is completely ignorant.
