King of Classical Music

Being able to become the seed player in Zheng Weiqiao's mouth, Sheng Yanhui is indeed very outstanding.The first piece he played was Op.18 in Mozart's Violin Sonata, which was a very skill-testing piece, and Sheng Yanhui naturally completed it brilliantly.

When it was his turn to end, Sheng Yanhui went to Qi Mu's side and said a few words, to the effect of "I'm honored to be on stage with you again", "Looking forward to your performance" and the like.

Hearing these words, Zheng Weiqiao felt ashamed, but Qi Mu responded with a calm smile, as if he was really familiar with Sheng Yanhui, without losing any courtesy.

By the time Qi Mu came on stage, several contestants had already passed.

The first piece Qi Mu performed was "Scenes of Love", which was composed by the world-renowned violinist Paganini. It may not be his peak work, but it is the most important piece in the life of this violin master. one of the first tunes.

Paganini was the most outstanding violinist in medieval Europe, and can even be said to be the most well-deserved king of violins in history.This great violin master left dozens of violin pieces in his life, and almost every piece can be regarded as the handwriting of God.

And there is another story behind this "Love Scene": It is rumored that a lady named Tida fell in love with Paganini at the beginning, and asked Paganini to compose a song to express his love for him, and Can only be played with two strings.

Putting it on others, this requirement may be too difficult, but if the object is Paganini, it could not be simpler.

This amazingly talented violin master has a nickname——

One-string madman.

Among the classic repertoire left by him in his life, some of them are so horrified that he can play the whole piece with one string!

And "Love Scene" is a two-string piece, with the E string representing the woman and the G string representing the man, echoing each other, and finally moved the lady deeply with the passionate duet.

If Sheng Yanhui's Mozart Serenade Op.18 is a market-level competition, then "Scenes of Love" has already reached the level of the National Games.The judges were surprised when they saw this song on the performance repertoire. Qian Zhenhua, an honorary member of the Huaxia Musicians Association, said: "This piece is a test of performance skills. I didn't expect that someone would choose to use this piece of music. The first piece is considered the first performance piece."

Among the three performance repertoires, most people choose the one with strong skills first, the one with more emotional expression for the second, and the one they are best at for the third.

"I seldom hear someone use Paganini's tunes as a skill display in competitions!" Qian Lao said with emotion, "What is this kid's name...Qi Mu? This name is a bit familiar, isn't it?" ……Yes or no……"

"It seems to be Qi Jun's son?" said the judge sitting next to him.

Suddenly hearing a familiar name, Professor Carl turned his head in surprise, and asked in stammering Chinese: "Qi...Qi Jun? Is it Qi Jun from the S City Symphony Orchestra?"

Mr. Qian sighed, and said: "It is indeed him. Eight years ago, he and his wife had an accident together, and it is said that only his only son was left behind."

Professor Carl nodded half-understood and didn't say anything more, and the other judges on the side didn't say any more, but no one noticed that the bearded foreigner sitting in the middle suddenly muttered something in German: "It's that... ...gifted children?"

And these, Qi Mu didn't know.

Choosing "Scenes of Love" was a long-planned plan by Qi Mu.

If you want to win the championship and want to win the championship impressively, it is absolutely impossible to choose some simple tracks.And even more difficult ones, such as Paganini's 24 caprices, the original owner has not played the piano for many years, and it is impossible to practice in a short time, so Qi Mu chose this song "Scenes of Love" ".

But it was this piece of music that Qi Mu recognized as "above-medium difficulty" and "average skill", which caused a great visual impact to many people present!

The G string is located on the far left of the four strings of the violin, and it is the thickest and roundest string with the roughest sound; the E string is located on the far right of the four strings of the violin, which is the thinnest and the loudest one.

This kind of large span requires the bow to swing from side to side with a huge range, not only to accurately rub the two strings, but also to more accurately ensure that the passionate feelings are poured out to each other.So off the stage, everyone could only see the young man's beautiful white jade-like fingers moving quickly on the strings, and the melodious voice came from the small hole of the piano.

Qi Mu really gave birth to a pair of extremely eye-catching hands.

Under the high-wattage spotlight, the pair of white and slender hands seemed to reflect the light of jade, which made people unable to move their eyes away.It would be fine if it was just a pair of beautiful embroidered pillow-like hands, but these hands were able to play such a fierce tune, as if a small hammer was gently beating the hearts of everyone present.

Even Sheng Yanhui, who was standing and listening in the background, was stunned.

At the end of the song, the audience was silent.

After playing this highly skilled piece, Qi Mu's fingers felt a little numb, he was panting slightly, his delicate and handsome face was slightly pale due to long-term concentration and nervousness.

There was silence for half a minute.

1 minutes……

2 minutes……

three……

"Bravo!"

Someone suddenly shouted loudly, followed by thunderous applause.

Amidst the fierce applause from the audience, Qi Mu suddenly felt a slight tremor in the deepest part of his heart.Since his rebirth, his calm state of mind finally had a moment of joy, but he quickly concealed it very well. He bowed politely, turned around and left the scene.

When she walked backstage, Zheng Weiqiao was already flushed with excitement.

"Qi Mu! You performed so well!!!" He stepped forward and gave Qi Mu a hug. Because he was concerned that Qi Mu was still holding the violin in his hand, he quickly let go and said: "You definitely deserved the highest score for the skill display in the first round!"

Qi Mu was still immersed in the emotion just now, he didn't come back to his senses, and he didn't hear what Zheng Weiqiao said afterwards.

Seems like it's been ten years...

Have you ever felt the same feeling again?

Most of the people who joined the orchestra have bid farewell to their own music career.No matter who introduces their names, they will always add the name of an orchestra in front of it. Only a very few important figures-such as conductors, principals-can make their reputation surpass that of the orchestra.

Before entering the Vienna Symphony Orchestra... no, before entering the first orchestra, Qi Mu had been working hard for the goal of "entering the orchestra". At that time, everyone applauded for him, not for the orchestra.

But after actually entering the orchestra, more and more audience applauded, but the applause was for the orchestra, for the conductor, and for the principal. Where would it be the turn of an ordinary violinist sitting in the back row?

"What's the matter, Qi Mu? It's your turn soon, what are you thinking?" Zheng Weiqiao asked.

Qi Mu was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I'm going to go on stage first, Brother Zheng."

After a while, Qi Mu took the violin and walked to the front desk.Looking at the place where the lights gathered, Qi Mu suddenly felt as if he saw the resplendent golden hall, he squinted his eyes again, and everything returned to normal.

This feeling--

It's poison!

Only by standing in the honorary position that only belongs to the conductor and chief, can you understand what it feels like to stand at the top of the orchestra!

……

Qi Mu's second piece was Mozart's Serenade Op.6, that is, "Serenade Under the Moon". This piece was quite satisfactory among all the contestants' selections, but Qi Mu's wonderful performance also received full applause.

So far, the audience only yelled three Bravos, one for Sheng Yanhui, who played brilliantly, and two for Qi Mu, who came out like a dark horse.When the last piece started to be played, Zheng Weiqiao purposely got acquainted with the general scoring situation, walked up to Qi Mu with a smile on his face, and said, "Now your score is the first in the audience, higher than that of Sheng Yanhui. .”

Qi Mu was surprised, and asked, "You know all the scores, Brother Zheng?"

Zheng Weiqiao shook her head and said: "How could you know such details? Anyway, knowing that you are the number one is enough. Xiao Qi, if you get the number one this time, you might be able to go to the Munich Conservatory of Music! Although You should be able to enter if you are recommended by a friend from a teacher, but this is based on your own strength, which is different." Zheng Weiqiao said with emotion, "It would be great if I really entered..."

In the quiet backstage, one after another, players took violins to the foreground to perform.Zheng Weiqiao didn't realize that, listening to his words, Qi Mu had already slowly frowned, his eyes downcast and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

When Sheng Yanhui came to the stage and began to play, he walked up to Qi Mu again, with a hesitant expression, hesitating left and right for a long time, before he choked out a sentence: "Qi Mu...you are still very good, but I won't admit defeat .My last piece is Mendelssohn's "E Minor", I will show my strength and let you know what I have done in the past ten years!"

Suddenly hearing a familiar name, Qi Mu was taken aback for a moment, and asked subconsciously, "Did you choose Mendelssohn's "E Minor"?"

"Yes." After a pause, Sheng Yanhui suddenly thought: "Could it be that...you too?!"

Sighing, Qi Mu lightly nodded.After Sheng Yanhui got the result, his face turned pale instantly, he turned around and left without a word in a daze.

In the same competition, in the same selection, the same piece of music was actually chosen, and... still in the case of such a close performance sequence, there must be a distinction between high and low.Qi Mu had already surpassed Sheng Yanhui in the previous two songs, but in the third song, he might be about to slap Sheng Yanhui in the face.

How could Sheng Yanhui not be horrified by this?

But that's how it happened.

Sheng Yanhui walked towards the center of the stage in a disturbed mood. Before he could walk out of the backstage, he suddenly heard a low-pitched male voice: "Wait a minute, Sheng...Sheng Yanhui." He turned around and saw Qi Mu walking away quickly come over.

Sheng Yanhui was puzzled before asking questions, but Qi Mu suddenly raised the corner of his lips and showed a sneer. He looked Sheng Yanhui up and down as if in disgust, and then said mockingly: "It's really bad luck for you to choose a song with me. , it seems that you will always be my defeat."

Sheng Yanhui's face turned red suddenly, and he retorted angrily: "Qi Mu! You are so arrogant!"

However, Qi Mu raised his eyes and glanced at him. In Sheng Yanhui's eyes, the young man's light-colored eyes seemed to be full of contempt and disdain.Only Qi Mu said in a cold tone: "Oh really? But, I just have this arrogant capital. Play your song "E Minor" well, um... I will try my best to let you do it?"

Sheng Yanhui was furious: "Qi Mu! You are deceiving people too much!!!"

Seeing this, the handsome and good-looking young man just smiled coldly, then turned and left without leaving Sheng Yanhui a moment's vision.Sheng Yanhui suddenly felt a burst of motivation ignited in his heart. He clenched his bow, turned around confidently and calmly, and strode towards the stage.

But after a while, the melodious and clear violin sounded slowly.

"Hey Xiaoqi, what did you say when you chased after that Sheng Yanhui just now?" Zheng Weiqiao asked curiously.

I saw Qi Mu's frown that had been tightly furrowed slowly relaxed, and the acrimonious look just now disappeared completely.He smiled and raised his lips with a beautiful arc, and said, "This... I won't tell Brother Zheng."

Zheng Weiqiao looked at Qi Mu suspiciously for a few more times, but didn't ask any more questions, but when Sheng Yanhui returned to the backstage and gave Qi Mu a fierce look, Zheng Weiqiao had a flash of inspiration in his heart, and he tried to catch it but disappeared without a trace no trace.

Two Mendelssohn Concerto in E minor.

One song performed wonderfully and won applause from all the halls;

Although the interpretation of a song is excellent, it is slightly eclipsed in comparison.

When the final result of the competition was about to be announced, all the contestants were sitting under the stage. Qi Mu raised his head to look at the place lit by the spotlight, his thin lips slightly curled up, showing an imperceptible smile.

"No.3, Zhao Zhengwen."

A dark-skinned young man came to the stage with tears in his eyes and prepared to receive the award. After a burst of applause from the audience, everyone began to wait quietly for Professor Carl to announce the name of No.2.

"No. 2..."

The bearded professor suddenly stopped speaking, and his eyes turned around the audience a few times, and finally fell in Qi Mu's direction.

Zheng Weiqiao immediately held her breath, and said in a low voice as if reciting scriptures: "It's not you, it's not you...Sheng Yanhui is sitting in front of us, it must be him..."

Hearing this, Qi Mu couldn't laugh or cry.

Professor Carl looked at this direction meaningfully for a long time, then looked away, and said: "No.2 is an excellent violinist, I am very sorry that he won this ranking. In my heart, he should be the winner of this competition. No.1, so I want to report No.1's name first, and then report his."

This German guy was stuttering just now, but when he said something annoying, he seemed to have practiced it countless times!

Everyone present was shocked.

Which unlucky No.1 should this be...

Was this what the bearded man said?
