King of Classical Music

Double-tone playing refers to pressing the strings with two fingers at the same time to achieve an effect similar to a duet.

This technique seems very simple, and many amateurs can do it, but... If you want to use this technique to the extreme, there is a piece of music that violinists cannot bypass——

"Little Fairy Rondo".

The bright golden sun shone down, and the shadow of the big white statue covered most of the young man's body, but those beautiful and slender hands were still exposed to the golden sunlight.

Everyone could only see the fingers pressing and sliding the strings at an unbelievable speed. A violin seemed to have truly come to life in the hands of such an outstanding person.

When technique reaches the point of being too flamboyant, even the layman can feel the sheer skill.

Covered by layers of crowds, although Professor Akad couldn't see Qi Mu surrounded in the center, he could imagine from the fast and rapid rhythm that his students' current performance brought great excitement to the crowd. What a shock.

This Baccini's "Leprechaun Rondo" also has an alias called "Dance of the Fairies". As a rondo, it repeats the same melody many times, but uses various tricks to show off its skills.

Two-tone playing, flying bow, artificial overtones, left-handed picking...

The skills that ordinary people can think of at once, this short 3-minute piece of virtuoso skills has been fully included.

The music is cheerful and exciting, very pleasing to the ear, but at such a time, the sound is no longer the most important element, and the dazzling visual effects are even more shocking.

Professor Akad smiled helplessly, and cursed secretly: "This little Qi, unexpectedly used this virtuoso song as the third song... How naughty."

Generally speaking, such short pieces are not played together with the symphony orchestra. Of course, there is another exception, that is, when a concert is over, many masters will use this piece as an encore to thank the audience for their love. .

But because the difficulty of this piece is too high, even many professional violinists can't play it well, so this piece is not very well-known in the world, but...it is very enjoyable.

From the slightly opened mouths of these onlookers, it can be seen that they have completely surrendered to the sound of Qi Mu's piano.A few young people even picked up their mobile phones and started videotaping, wanting to record this wonderful show.

Of course, Qi Mu was concentrating on plucking the strings with his left hand at this time, and didn't notice these.

"Dance of the Elves" is so difficult that even Qi Mu needs to be very careful not to make any mistakes.

I saw that his left hand was sliding rapidly on the piano board, and occasionally he needed to raise his fingertips to move gently, while his right hand was also holding a bow at the same time, showing the difficult skill of continuous bowing, and every note fell exactly. In fact, there is no noise at all.

Enthusiastic music sounded in the huge square, as if even the sound of breathing disappeared, only the wonderful and intense violin music sounded again and again.

The voice was too fast, and the technique was too clever. After Qi Mu's artificial overtone at the highest register ended, his piano sound had stopped for half a minute, but no one came back to their senses.

"Bravo!"

There was a cheer from the end of the crowd, and Professor Akad applauded his students, revealing a smile of sincere admiration.

Under his instigation, the rest of the crowd applauded non-stop as if they were just waking up from a dream. Some even quickly pressed the screen of their mobile phones and sent the song they just recorded to the Internet to share with other people. shared.

Qi Mu smiled and bowed as his thanks.But just when he finished his performance completely, and was about to pack up his violin and leave here, a tender, crisp girl's voice rang out behind him——

"Encore... can... Encore!"

Qi Mu was startled for a moment.

In the next second, more voices shouted in the same language: "Encore! Encore! Encore! Encore! Encore..."

Qi Mu: "..."

In one morning, Qi Mu performed a total of five pieces before finally finding a gap and taking the opportunity to escape.In the past half a year of practice, he has gradually gained better endurance and is able to perform more difficult music performances, but...

That doesn't mean he can play all day without a break!

After Qi Mu managed to get out of the crowd, he looked back and saw that the statue of the prince in the Hero Square was completely surrounded by black heads. The crowded appearance seemed to make Qi Mu see the scene of the Chinese Spring Festival travel rush. TRAIN STATION!

...This should be surrounded by more than ten floors, right? !

It is said that the population of many countries in Europe has experienced negative growth in the past few years? ! ! !

Before Qi Mu could catch his breath for a while, he saw Professor Akad waving to him not far away. When he walked over, before he had time to say a word, this arrogant and awkward little old man threw himself put his hat on his head, and said: "Xiaoqi, didn't the teacher tell you to play only three pieces? Why did you play five pieces?!"

Qi Mu stretched out his hand to straighten the hat, then looked up at his teacher, and saw Professor Akad wrote "I'm very angry" at this moment, seeming very unhappy.

Qi Mu, who understood the opponent's temper very well, thought for a while, and patted the opponent's hair: "Teacher, isn't it because you taught me so well, that's why my violin can attract so many people. They have been blocking... I don't have a good end, teacher, don't you think so?"

Hearing that the young man even praised himself a little bit, Professor Akad was satisfied.

The two walked out of the square together, and Professor Akad said, "Well, all the five pieces you played just now were good. But... Xiao Qi, the teacher asked you to choose a professional-level piece that can be played in the golden hall. Song, why did you choose "Dance of the Elves"?"

A morning passed, and it was already noon.Vienna in May has completely lost the coldness of winter, and the wind blowing on the face carries the warmth of spring.The slightly hot sun hung in the air, and the shadow cast by the brim of the hat covered most of Qi Mu's face.

Hearing what Professor Akkad said, he smiled and replied: "Teacher, don't tell me...you didn't play this piece of music on the stage of the Golden Hall more than 30 years ago? I remember that you got a lot of applause at that time." .”

This flattery was light and smooth, without a trace, which made Professor Akad very useful.He nodded with a smile, and said, "Well, not bad, not bad, I did play this "Dance of the Elves", and it was many years ago."

Seeing that his teacher's smile could no longer be hidden, Qi Mu also smiled and curled his lips.

After getting along for so long, he has already figured out the character of this tsundere and cute little old man. If he can make the teacher happier, surely... his days will be easier in the future, right?

But it didn't make Qi Mu happy for too long. The two walked out of the Heroes Square together. Professor Akad reached out to hail a taxi. After getting in the taxi, he said, "Xiao Qi, you have to behave well this afternoon. Don't let the teacher down!"

Qi Mu: "..."

The corners of his mouth raised an arc reluctantly, Qi Mu blinked his eyes, and looked at Master Akad: "Teacher... I don't know what you mean by that?"

Professor Akad was taken aback when he heard the words, and then said as a matter of course: "We are going to Kaiser Franz Square in the afternoon, the same as in the morning, Xiao Qi, you have to play well, don't lose face of the teacher!"

Qi Mu could hardly keep the smile on his face, he sighed deeply, and asked: "Teacher, the Emperor's Square is near the Heroes' Square, we only need to walk a little to get there, so...why do we have to do it?" How about hiring a taxi?"

Professor Akad, who exposed the attributes of a road idiot: "..."

Covering his lips with his hand and coughing heavily, Professor Akad's ears turned red: "Nonsense...nonsense! Xiao Qi, you have come to Vienna too rarely, don't you know, in fact, Heroes Square is about [-] meters away from Kaiser Square. It's a bit far, we have to go for a long time..."

"Your place is here, sir."

The taxi driver spoke suddenly, interrupting Professor Akad's next words.

Akad: "..."

Qi Mu: "..."

After paying a starting price, Qi Mu got out of the car with his teacher Lu Chi.Qi Mu looked at this city that he was familiar with deeply and had lived in for more than ten years, and felt both funny and helpless.

"Teacher... Please follow me in the next few days! Although..." After a pause, Qi Mu said with a smile: "Although I haven't lived in Vienna for long, I can still understand the map Yes, please rest assured."

Professor Akad: "..."

----------

Zurich, evening.

After the penultimate performance of the New Year's Spring Tour, members of the Berlin Philharmonic walked in Zurich International Airport with their simple luggage, planning to take a plane and rush to the next performance location.

And behind the mighty team that was comparable to a model troupe, Daniel was looking at the man beside him with his hands in his pockets speechlessly, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.

"Min! Why have you been to Paris for so long?! Do you know how much work I have had during your absence!!!" The blond man scratched his head depressingly and said again : "Being your and Bo Ai's manager, I've been miserable for eight lifetimes! You irresponsible guy, you devil!"

What responded to him was the man's usual silence, and he didn't even bother to give this hairy guy a shot from the corner of his eye.

Daniel said angrily: "Huh, Min! There is still some time before the orchestra's concert in Vienna, so you might as well go to Paris again. I don't understand, what are you doing there? You are also a member of the Paris National Higher Conservatory of Music. The evaluation judges, well, aren't you the most afraid of trouble?"

Min Chen said calmly, "I'm very enthusiastic and don't bother me."

Daniel: "..."

"Do you dare to say this sentence to the members of the orchestra again!!!"

All members of Bo Ai walking ahead: "..."

Daniel, you want to provoke the commander, why drag them into the water! ! !

Daniel was furious: "You can go to Paris, anyway, there are still a few days before the concert in Vienna."

"Don't go."

Daniel: "...you go!"

"Don't go."

Daniel was extremely depressed: "So, why don't you want to go to Paris now?"

"Because...he has already arrived in Vienna." The man's murmur to himself was low and weak, and it was quickly submerged in the air.

Daniel: "Eh?! Min, did you say something just now? I didn't hear clearly..."

"Min?"

"...Auston?!"

"Auston Burtram?!"

"Devil! God should have sent a little angel down to deal with you, a nasty devil!"

……

Min Chen didn't take Daniel's whining complaints to heart.He turned his head to look at the huge glass windows of the airport, and saw planes taking off and landing on the long runway, which looked very leisurely and clean against the blue sky and white clouds.

Angel...?

Perhaps God has sent it down.
