King of Classical Music

At the end of the first day of the official class, Professor Akad gave Qi Mu a task: to develop all the photos they took during the past few days, and wait until all the photos were developed before bringing them to him .

In fact, Qi Mu found this incident very strange at the beginning, now that CCD and CMOS digital technology are so powerful, but in the full-frame SLR camera carried by Professor Akad, tape is still used instead of digital chips.

Although he didn't understand Professor Akad's intention, but in the next day, when Qi Mu really developed all the hundreds of photos, he looked at the beautiful scenery in the photos and even himself was very nervous. The appearance of laughing heartily, which was rarely seen, suddenly shook my heart... Then, I understood.

Professor Akkad said that he lived himself to death, not enough to release himself.

So... the reason why I took him to various places these days is actually to let him completely release his nature?

Thinking of this, Qi Mu couldn't help showing a helpless smile, but a warm current surged in his heart: Although my teacher looks old-fashioned and serious, and has a weird temper, in fact...it's really cute.

And when Qi Mu returned to the piano room with the carefully packed photos in the album, he immediately saw Professor Akad holding a few scores, sitting on the sofa looking at something.

The large and clean floor-to-ceiling windows are designed to face the south, and the warm and bright eyes shine in through the glass, illuminating the room warmly.Qi Mu walked to the sofa and gently placed the photo album on the table, only then did Professor Akad notice him.

The professor casually flipped through the thick photo album, then looked up at Qi Mu, and curled his mouth: "Well, the development is not bad, Xiao Qi's level of taking pictures and developing photos is very good, then we will have more pictures in the future." Go out and play."

When hearing this, Qi Mu happened to be sitting on the sofa opposite Professor Akad.Hearing what the other party said suddenly, he could only shake his hands wanting to cry without tears: "Teacher, I really don't know much about this industry...how about you come to take pictures in the future?"

"Xiao Qi, are you still not happy to ask you to take pictures of the teacher?"

After the two chatted and laughed a few more words, Professor Akad finally put down the photo album in his hand, and looked up at Qi Mu.The serious little old man had a serious face at the moment, looked at the young man sitting opposite him seriously, and asked solemnly: "Did you feel anything when developing these photos?"

Hearing this, Qi Mu twitched the corners of her lips and replied, "Yes, I feel... so I can also be forced by the teacher to have such a good time."

"..."

After silently saying "Don't argue with your child" three times, Professor Akad snorted coldly, and then said, "It's good that you feel it yourself. I have a piece of music here, I think you should be familiar with this piece Yes, but I hope in two weeks time I can hear you play a different version of the piece, quite different from the one before."

Qi Mu was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Teacher, what song is it?"

Akad handed the score that had just been put aside to Qi Mu, and the latter took it immediately. When he opened the score that covered the title of the song, Qi Mu was stunned.He looked up at Professor Arkad in surprise, only to see that the latter was smiling maliciously and said, "Paganini's Op.1No.24, Capriccio No. 24."

I saw a line of black cursive characters printed on the cover of the pure white score——

"Temaconvariazioni".

When Master Farrer introduced Qi Mu to Professor Akkad, he once specially emphasized: "This is a very skilled child. He has very accurate grasp of rhythm and tone, especially when playing Paganini's pieces. At that time, the technique is very beautiful and smooth. And his perception of music is also very unique and very creative."

And when Qi Mu learned that Master Farrer was going to recommend him to Professor Akad, his first reaction was: that is "the contemporary Paganini".

Professor Akkad has recorded many albums and CDs in his life, among which "24 Capriccios" he recorded is the most outstanding.This maestro often plays these 24 pieces in many concerts. His deep understanding of Paganini's caprices is probably at the pinnacle of the world.

But...Qi Mu didn't understand what Professor Akad said before.

"Teacher... what is a different version? Don't tell me, do you want me to adapt this song?" After thinking for a long time, Qi Mu could only ask such a question.

And Professor Akad nodded directly, and said: "Didn't I say at the end of the Bo Ai concert last week that I hope you can practice and arrange a piece of music? This is it. I hope to hear an innovative piece." The 24th, not the same as before. Xiao Qi, you have to integrate yourself into this song, and tell me after two weeks, what exactly did you pull out. "

Such a task is also very difficult for Qi Mu, but he is not afraid.

I saw the golden sunlight coming in through the window, shining on the young man's fair and handsome face, he nodded slightly, and said in a brisk tone: "Okay, teacher, I will work hard."

Qi Mu is very good at Paganini's tunes - this is something that many people know.

But being good at it doesn't mean you are proficient in every piece of music.Unfortunately, this Capriccio No. 24 happens to be one that Qi Mu is very familiar with.If Professor Akkad told him to play off the score, he could do it right away.but……

Asking him to adapt it really made Qi Mu feel a little bit embarrassed.

Because it is too familiar, the melody of the song can be heard in his ears as soon as he closes his eyes. This is really a fierce obstacle for the adaptation he is about to make, and he doesn't know what to do for a while.

The situation is so stagnant, has not moved forward.Qi Mu stared at the blank sheet music for two full days, and picked it up to practice from time to time, but he still didn't have a clue.

Probably because he was too immersed in the music and couldn't extricate himself, when Qi Mu returned to the apartment the next night, he was wiping his hair and walking out of the bathroom when he suddenly heard his mobile phone buzzing.He walked to the table and picked up his mobile phone, only to realize that he had received five or six text messages and one missed call.

Qi Mu quickly clicked on the latest text message, and was stunned when he saw the sender.

Min Chen: [Is something wrong?See letter back quickly. 】

Qi Mu clicked on the previous text message again, and saw that three hours ago——

Min Chen: [How are you doing recently? 】

After half an hour—

Min Chen: [Are you busy? 】

Another half hour passed—

Min Chen: [Qi Mu? 】

The next two text messages were almost exactly stuck in half an hour.

【? 】

【what happened? 】

After another half an hour, the other party simply made a phone call. At that time, Qi Mu was taking a shower in the bathroom, so naturally he didn't hear it.Qi Mu never expected that this man would be so patient and send so many text messages.

With a helpless smile, Qi Mu hurriedly sent back a text message: [Sorry, I've been thinking about the song this afternoon, but my phone vibrated, so I didn't notice it.I'm fine. 】Not long after, the text message over there came back: 【Yes. 】After a while, there was another text message: 【What song? 】Qi Mu thought for a while, and then directly sent the task that Professor Akkad gave him: 【Paganini's "Capriccio No. 24", the teacher hopes that I can make some innovations and changes. ] After Qi Mu sent this text message, he canceled the phone's vibration, and then continued to wipe his wet hair with his fur.While wiping his hair in front of the mirror, he thought to himself: When... did the hair grow so long?

Before Qi Mu could think for long, the cell phone rang suddenly, Qi Mu was slightly taken aback, and then hurriedly walked to the table.After seeing the flashing name, he immediately picked up the phone: "Min Chen?"

A deep and magnetic male voice traveled across the entire English Channel from far away London along the radio waves: "Hmm. Is the adaptation very demanding?"

Unexpectedly, the other party called just to ask this question, Qi Mu was stunned, and then smiled helplessly: "The teacher didn't ask for anything, but just hoped that I would give him a different piece of music in two weeks. Tian has no clue at all, and doesn't know the difficulty, maybe... very high?"

After hearing Qi Mu's answer, Min Chen was silent for a long time.

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to reply, Qi Mu said again: "However, the past two days have really left me at a loss as to what to do. I have adapted some songs before, but I have never played this classic song. So... I am at a loss Bar."

After a short silence, Min Chen asked in a low voice, "Is it convenient for you?"

This question stunned Qi Mu for a moment, he looked around, and then answered with a smile: "I'm in the apartment, so it should be quite convenient?"

"Okay, I happen to be in the piano room."

Qi Mu: "...?"

"In my house in London, there's a piano room in this house."

"..."

Qi Mu's mind flashed through what the members of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra had joked together before. It is rumored that there are more than a dozen Steinway nine-foot grand pianos in Bertram's house.At first, although Qi Mu listened to it, he just took it as a joke, but...

It turns out that there is also a piano room in London...

It seems that a dozen are very likely...

Didn't notice Qi Mu's weird silence, and there were a few crisp piano sounds from Min Chen's side, and without making Qi Mu wait for a while, Min Chen lowered his voice and said, "The piano piece No. 24 is very famous, If it’s convenient for you, you can listen to the piano version first.”

Qi Mu was thinking of declining, but suddenly recalled what Professor Akad said, "You never have what Min Chen has", so he had no choice but to accept the other party's kindness, and said with a smile: "Okay, really. sorry to bother you."

But after a while, a burst of extremely fast piano sounds flowed from the phone.This is a jumping dance, like a scherzo, very dramatic and conflicting.

Qi Mu could completely imagine that the man on the other end of the phone was waving his fingers quickly, moving quickly on the black and white double keys.

No matter how good the piano sound is transmitted through radio waves, there will always be some sound deviations, mixed with weak current sounds.But even so, it can't weaken the elegance and beauty of the piano sound.

After Liszt adapted Paganini's "Caprice No. 24" into a piano piece, this piece has also become a favorite of many piano virtuosos.Liszt was originally a crazy master of virtuosity, his piano skills almost spanned an era, and he was superior to all his peers.

Actually...Min Chen can also be regarded as a person who likes to show off his skills?

Suddenly, I remembered the song "Tsunami of the Night" that this man played on stage at Hong Kong Disneyland. At that time, this man's long and thin fingers were dancing quickly on the piano keys, as if he was born with it. Effortless elegance rolled into one.

It happened to be a beautiful portamento, and the suddenly raised piano sound brought Qi Mu back from his memories. At this time, the short "Capriccio No. 24" also officially ended, only the lingering sound was still quiet The echo echoed in the room, making Qi Mu a little dazed.

"There are some differences between a piano and a violin, but you can feel something... in common. If you have any questions, feel free to call me."

Listening to the deep male voice coming from Kongli, Qi Mu involuntarily raised the corners of his lips, nodded and said, "Yes, good."

So, Teacher Akad is really arrogant.

Look at Min Chen, how warm-hearted and kind-hearted he is!
