King of Classical Music

Vienna, these three words seem to be a symbol of classical music.

Countless music masters who have gone down in history have spent their wonderful and brilliant music careers in this elegant and warm city.In various parks and squares in the city, you can see statues of Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms and other music masters, and even some streets and churches are named after them.

Vienna is the holy land of every classical musician. Coming here to listen to a concert or watch a musical drama seems to be the happiest thing in their lives.

It was mid-May when Qi Mu arrived in Vienna with Professor Arkad.

The spring is already strong, and all kinds of flowers are competing for beauty. Walking on such a peaceful and quiet street, you can smell the fragrance of flowers and listen to melodious music at any time, which is really refreshing.

As soon as Professor Akad arrived in Vienna, he dragged Qi Mu to find a coffee shop called Sachar. Before Qi Mu could put the suitcase away, the music master said directly: "Have a Sachar Cake and a cup of latte. Oh Xiaoqi, do you want a Sacher cake too?"

Qi Mu smiled and waved his hands, and said, "No teacher, I'll just have a cup of mocha."

Professor Akad smiled, and after the waiter in uniform left, he said mysteriously: "Xiaoqi, although you have been to Vienna when you were young,...it was many years ago. You have to take a good look this time, Vienna has been constantly changing over the years."

Qi Mu smiled and nodded: "Yes, teacher."

"For example, the Sacher cake is Austria's national treasure, why don't you have a piece?"

It turns out that at the end of the day, I still want him to taste this Sacher cake, which is known as the top ten cakes in the world?Qi Mu said dumbfoundingly: "Teacher... how about I have another one?"

After seeing that Qi Mu really ordered another cake, Professor Akad became satisfied.It didn't take long for the two small cakes to arrive on the table, placed on delicate gilded porcelain plates, looking delicate and lovely.

After Qi Mu just took a sip, he didn't touch the dessert again.

He turned his head and looked out the window, and saw several cute children chasing each other and playing on the light blue brick path.And beside them, stood a white marble statue. The figure was looking ahead with piercing eyes, holding a thick musical score in his hand.

Looking at such a familiar yet unfamiliar scene, Qi Mu felt as if it was a lifetime away.

Everything is so familiar, even the fragrance in the air is the most familiar taste.The sun is still as bright as ever, the pedestrians on the street, the roadside signs, and even this Sachar coffee shop have not changed a bit.

The only thing that has changed...

I'm afraid it's just him.

Looking at the bright and dazzling sunlight outside the window, Qi Mu gradually narrowed his eyes.Ten years ago, he came to this place alone, with a dream full of dreams, before he died here.And now—

He is back again.

"Hey Xiaoqi, don't you want to eat it? You can't waste it!" Professor Akad looked at the cake that had only moved a bite on Qi Mu's plate, and blinked: "Cake is such a delicious thing, you can't just eat it." Eat this little bit."

Qi Mu immediately smiled knowingly, and pushed his plate over: "If the teacher doesn't dislike me, can you help me share a little?"

Professor Akad immediately took the plate over, saying "don't mind" and "don't mind".

After Professor Akad thought he was very thoughtful and led Qi Mu to visit Schönbrunn Palace, Belfort Palace, Stephen's Cathedral...the two finally ended their first day of travel and arrived at the hotel where they stayed.

Just as he put down the piano case and luggage in his hand, Qi Mu couldn't wait to open the thick curtains of the hotel.

In an instant, Vienna's golden and beautiful night suddenly broke into his eyes. The street lights of every street were in the position they should be, and the light of every building was still distributed in the original place, which was exactly the same as in his memory. Difference!

Qi Mu stared blankly at this scene. After a whole day, he finally realized thoroughly——

I really came back.

……

Now that you're back?Then something has to be done, right?

Qi Mu didn't ask Professor Akad the next day, what was the recent itinerary of the two of them, and if there was nothing else, he wanted to go back to the house he rented to see.

Unexpectedly, when Qi Mu spoke, he had just knocked on the door of Professor Akad's room, and happened to meet Professor Akad who was about to go out.I saw this little gray-haired old man wearing a very simple T-shirt and an ordinary coat today, looking like the most ordinary grandpa next door.

Seeing Qi Mu, Professor Akad was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Xiao Qi, you got up quite early. It just so happened, take your violin, let's go."

Qi Mu: "...Let's go?"

Professor Akad nodded, with a reasonable expression on his face: "Shouldn't we go and stay in the hotel? Xiaoqi, young people can't waste their time like this, quickly take your violin, let's go together Let's go wandering!"

"..."

After Qi Mu went back to his room to get his violin, he thought that Professor Akad probably wanted to take him to visit a certain master.

After becoming famous, many famous musicians prefer to settle in their hometown, and some will come to Vienna to integrate with the city.Therefore, there are quite a few musicians living in Vienna.

However, when Professor Akad took Qi Mu off the subway and walked towards a place he was very familiar with, Qi Mu's eyelids twitched somehow, and a bad premonition suddenly emerged in his heart.

And when Professor Akad took him to stop in front of the prince statue in the Hero Square, Qi Mu swallowed involuntarily, and finally resisted the thought of turning around and leaving.

I saw Professor Akad bared his white teeth with a smile, and said, "Xiao Qi, let's start playing."

Qi Mu: "..."

After a while, the handsome and pretty young man barely kept the smile on his face, and asked, "Teacher, what do you mean... start playing?"

Professor Akad took it for granted: "Of course I will perform your performance directly here. Xiaoqi, although the teacher knows that you come from a relatively humble Huaxia, you should be more open! Let the residents of Vienna listen to you too. Qin, like those street musicians we saw yesterday, boldly release your piano!"

The idea in his head actually became a reality, Qi Mu shook his head helplessly, obediently put his piano case on the steps beside him, and started to get ready.

And Professor Akad was surprised when he saw that he agreed so quickly, and muttered in a low voice: "...Accepted so quickly? Xiao Qi is quite open, I thought I would persuade him for a while..."

In fact, Professor Arkad didn't know that although Qi Mu had never performed street performances in Vienna, when he was at the Munich Academy, whenever the academy was closed on Saturdays and Sundays, he would go to the busiest square in the city center and play to his heart's content. Play your own violin.

Performing in such a public place is a psychological test for the performers, which can increase their courage and ability to respond quickly.There is no outstanding audio equipment here, let alone a magnificent stage, but some ordinary passers-by, who will give you heartfelt applause.

Of course, for Qi Mu at that time... it would be very good to be able to earn a little extra money by the way.

Professor Akad was worried about whether his lovely students could quickly adapt to such an environment. After all, Qi Mu grew up known as a musical prodigy, like a flower in a greenhouse.However, to Aka's surprise, he was still worried, over there...Qi Mu was ready!

The young man with a delicate face looked at his teacher with a smile and asked, "Teacher, what kind of repertoire do you want me to perform?"

Professor Akad was taken aback, and subconsciously asked: "All ready? Has the rosin been wiped? Has the pitch been adjusted?"

Qi Mu said dumbfoundedly: "Teacher, I have already prepared all the most basic things you mentioned."

The students are so promising and exceed their expectations, but Professor Akad is not used to it.He coughed twice, and then said: "Okay, then you can play three pieces today. Today I will not support or pressure you by your side, only you will play alone. The three pieces You can choose any specific piece, but remember... the difficulty of the first piece can be at the amateur level, but the last piece, I hope, can reach the level that can be played in the Golden Hall."

Regarding Professor Akad's last request, Qi Mu was slightly stunned, but after a while he nodded with a smile and said confidently: "Okay teacher, I understand."

After Professor Akad gave a few more instructions, he quietly left from the side.But at this moment, there was only a lonely Qi Mu and an empty piano box left under the big white statue.

In fact, when Qi Mu put the piano box on the steps, some tourists and passers-by unconsciously looked at him.There are many musicians who improvise on the streets of Vienna, some at the professional level, but more are amateurs.They have long been used to such things, and it is not surprising.

But... when the protagonist of the incident was a handsome and beautiful Asian young man, they couldn't help but look twice more.And when Qi Mu officially put the exquisite and beautiful imitation Si-style piano on his shoulders, four or five people had already gathered around, waiting for this lovely young man to play.

In the place surrounded by the crowd, Qi Mu took a breath, and then let it out slowly.

In the next second, the bow swung swiftly, and the melodious sound of the piano flowed out like the sounds of nature!
