King of Classical Music

The cold winter wind is blowing outside the glass curtain wall of the concert hall. Many guests have already left the S City Symphony Orchestra concert hall by car, and some musicians who met old friends are still chatting and laughing in the lobby, together Made an appointment for a delicious supper.

Although he is getting old, Master Farrer is still full of energy. Even in the face of Daniel, who has always been talkative, he can continue every topic and make everyone laugh.

After half an hour, this group of musicians who talked about everything when they met was finally tired of talking, and left one by one. In the end, only Daniel and Mr. Farrer were left to tour for the second half of the year. Whose track should be chosen in the season, and kept talking.

Kedori, who was still standing aside dumbfounded, pointed out the problem first: "But, Mr. Farrer, Daniel... you two are not in the same band, so... it doesn't matter who you want to choose as the theme of the band." Anything to do with it?"

Mr. Farrer was taken aback when he heard the words, then nodded with a smile: "Not bad, not bad, Daniel, whoever you choose doesn't seem to have anything special to do with me."

Daniel also nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes, we have actually discussed this year with Bai Ai. We may use Schumann's repertoire as the theme to perform in this year's tour season." This kind of thing happened in last year's There will be a heated discussion at the end of the year. The orchestra will come up with various plans, and finally the music director or chief conductor will make a decision.

After hearing Daniel's words, Min Chen, who had been walking aside without making a sound, looked up at him and asked casually, "I agree?"

Daniel was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly thought: "You were on vacation in China when we were discussing this!" Speaking of this, Daniel suddenly froze——

He actually remembered that it seemed that all of them forgot to call on this big boss! ! !

Coughing in fright, Daniel asked again: "Min! Don't tell me that you think this theme is inappropriate?! This year is the 160th anniversary of Master Schumann's death, so don't make fun of me!"

Unexpectedly, Min Chen's thin lips curled slightly, and he said in a flat tone: "I didn't say it was inappropriate."

Daniel: "..."

Kedori: "..."

Master Faller: "Hahahaha, Auston, you are still so wicked."

Min Chen spread his hands noncommittally, and a group of four walked towards the exit of the concert hall.Master Fale didn't come by car, so he took a ride with Min Chen.And when Daniel and Kedori went to pick up the car together, Min Chen was watching the brightly lit traffic on the street in the distance, when he suddenly heard a male voice beside him.

"Auston... It seems that you know that relative?"

Hearing this, Min Chen turned his head to look at Master Fale in surprise, only to see that the latter was looking at him with a smile.Min Chen was slightly taller than Master Farrer. He lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, then replied, "Well, I know him. What's the matter, Farrer?"

Master Farrer nodded and said: "He is a good violinist, very skilled in technique. When I saw him, I remembered how I used to play the violin. He is probably about his age. He is so young!"

Min Chen listened calmly to Master Farrer's admiration for Qi Mu, a faint light flashed in his deep eyes, and after a long time, he asked, "Do you think he is outstanding?"

Farrar smiled and asked: "Oston, don't you think so? I seem to have heard the performance he performed with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra before. It should have been seven or eight years ago. If it wasn't for this Chinese singer I have some impressions of a genius boy, but I didn't even recognize him. In the past eight years, his music style has changed so much that I can't even recognize him."

As the world's top conductor, composer and violinist, Master Farrer's hearing ability is naturally unmatched by ordinary people.Even if he listens to the same person's performance after seven or eight years, he can still recall the original music.

But tonight, when he heard Qi Mu's two songs "D Major" and "Blessings of Love", Master Farrer was very surprised to find that this former music prodigy had matured several levels in emotional processing and technical performance. Not like a 20-year-old youth.

"Such an excellent seedling is rare in the current music scene. It's good to be young, but I'm already old." Farrar said with emotion.

In the dark night, Min Chen squinted his eyes and was thinking about something. He heard what Master Farrer said, and said, "Well, he really...has a big change from the previous music style. When dealing with some details, , has also changed a lot, and his "D major" is even better than I imagined."

One month before the performance, Qi Mu called Min Chen and asked him about his feelings when he wrote "D Major".It is a very lucky thing to be able to talk directly with the composer, Qi Mu would not do such a stupid thing if he had such an opportunity but didn't use it.

So Min Chen had already listened to a recording that Qi Mu sent him half a month ago. Although the sound quality was a little lacking, Min Chen could still hear the song "D" by Qi Mu half a month ago. "Major Key" is already a level behind tonight's song.

Thinking of this, Min Chen smiled calmly and said, "He is still a very hardworking person."

It was the first time Master Farrer saw Min Chen praise someone like this, he looked at Min Chen for a long time in surprise, and then said with a smile: "Oston, you rarely praise a newcomer like this, it seems that Min is really good .At his age, he should be studying in the academy now, without a good teacher to lead him, it is very bad."

When Min Chen heard this, he looked at Farrer in surprise: "You mean..."

Master Farrer smiled meaningfully, and looked up at the bustling night scene of City S: "I think Paris is a good place."

Soon, Daniel and Kedori drove over from the parking lot. After sending Farrer back to his hotel, Daniel held the steering wheel and talked and laughed with Kedori, who was sitting in the passenger seat, while Min Chen sat alone on the left side of the back seat, frowning and thinking about something.

Thinking back to Farrar's words just now, Junting's frown became tighter and tighter. At the end, he sighed softly and murmured: "Paris...could it be him..."

At this moment, Qi Mu had already returned to his hotel and started packing his luggage. As soon as the [-]th anniversary of City S Symphony Orchestra is over, City B Symphony Orchestra will perform this year's spring. He has to return to City B early to get ready and join the rehearsal as soon as possible.

Just as he was packing a coat into the suitcase, before Qi Mu looked up, he heard his cell phone buzzing for a while.He immediately stood up, stepped over the suitcase, reached out to pick up the mobile phone on the table, looked at the name on the text message, Qi Mu was stunned for a while, and then opened it to check.

Min Chen: Tonight's performance was excellent, congratulations.

Qi Mu let out a low laugh, and quickly pressed a few times on the screen: Thank you for your blessings, I heard Commander Zhu say that you might not have time to come, I didn't expect you to be there tonight.

It didn't take long for Qi Mu to receive a reply: I just arrived at Hongkou Airport this afternoon, and I have a ticket to fly back to Berlin tomorrow.

Qi Mu had just finished reading and hadn't replied yet, and then received another message: something happened in the orchestra recently.

Looking at the flashing text on the phone screen, Qi Mu couldn't help laughing.He simply put the clothes in his hands aside, and formally replied to the other party's message: I wish you a smooth journey tomorrow, and I will also fly back to city b tomorrow.By the way, I have encouraged one of your admirers in your name today, and I will let you know in advance here, don't mind.

The long street on the Bund is full of traffic, and the vehicles coming and going never stop even in such a late night.Min Chen was looking up at the dark Huangpu River outside the window, when the phone in his hand vibrated suddenly, he opened it to take a look.

His eyes paused for a moment on the smiley face at the end of the message, and then he replied: OK, it doesn't matter.Good luck to you too.

On the other end of the phone, there was no reply, Qi Mu had already put down the phone and continued to pack his luggage, and Min Chen also turned his head to look at the Huangpu River swallowed by darkness again.

Several freighters were slowly driving on the river, and the lights of the city were too bright, making this abyss-like river a bit cold.

The man's slender fingers tapped rhythmically on the metal case of the phone. Although he still looked calm and composed on the surface, in fact, Min Chen's heart was already in turmoil, thinking too much.

Daniel has already investigated the relationship between Qi Mu and Lu Ziwen. It seems that apart from the only joint performance in Vienna eight years ago, there is really nothing involved.At that time Lu Ziwen was just the most common rookie in the first violin group, but Qi Mu already had the halo of a genius prodigy.

But, since...it doesn't matter, why is Qi Mu's change so huge now?

Why……

Will it become as similar as Lu Ziwen?

Min Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and pursed his thin lips slightly.

There is no one in the world whose music can be so similar...

Impossible.

For the first time, Min Chen felt as if he had encountered a closed door. It was not locked at all, but there was no gap, and it had been firmly cast with cement, so that even air could not penetrate it.This is a dead end that even he can't do anything about, but it lies in front of him, so he can't ignore it.

In 30 years, it was the first time he encountered such a wonderful thing, hearing such an almost identical song "The Bell".

Even if there were slight differences in some details, even if Min Chen publicly believed that Qi Mu's "The Bell" was exactly the same as Lu Ziwen's, no one dared to say a negative word.Because this is Min Chen, the Min Chen who can tell the difference even if the musician changes a string.

"So...why?"
