King of Classical Music

If there is one thing you never forget to do, then forget it.But if once you think about it and do it with great difficulty, but you are interrupted halfway, many people will have a small lump in their hearts, and they want to finish the unfinished thing no matter what.

Therefore, the next morning, Qi Mu deliberately got up early, but arrived at the academy after seven o'clock, and wanted to listen to the record before today's piano practice.But what Qi Mu never expected was that he had just placed the stylus gently on the black record, but saw the stylus tremble a little twice, and then——

It doesn't move!

Don't move! ! !

Qi Mu has been tossing and tossing for half an hour, but he still can't fix the record player that suddenly stopped working.

Qi Mu rarely used such things as records in his previous life. Firstly, because of the development of the times, although a little bit of sound quality was sacrificed, CDs are simpler, more convenient and more widely spread than records; secondly, there are not enough things like vinyl records. At a reasonable price, he really couldn't afford such a "luxury hobby" in his previous life.

It is because Qi Mu is not familiar enough with record players because he rarely uses them.When Master Farrer arrived at the waiting room, the gentle master looked in surprise at Qi Mu who had rolled up his sleeves and worked for a long time, and asked curiously, "Angel, what are you doing?!"

After Master Farrer understood what had happened, the master who was keen on classical record players inspected it himself, and regretfully said to Qi Mu: "I'm sorry Angel, this little cute tonearm is a bit broken. , I'm afraid we have to send her to a special place for repairs."

Qi Mu: "..."

Master Farrer, who was born in Paris, smiled and said: "I remember there are several good old shops in Paris, and there is one nearby. Angel, let's send this record player there, then I think you can soon Listen to this beautiful record."

Qi Mu nodded helplessly, but after the two of them sent the record player to the nearest repair shop, Qi Mu was told helplessly: "The tonearm of this pathe is a bit damaged. This player is a limited edition of a few years ago. We also need to purchase the parts inside from the British factory, and probably need to repair it for several days."

Faced with such a situation, Qi Mu had no choice but to put the record player in the repair shop first, and then went back to the academy.

In the bright and clean piano room, Qi Mu is practicing Chrysler's "Beautiful Rosemarine" seriously and attentively. His fingers are quickly pressing on the black fingerboard, and he holds the bow in his right hand and keeps pulling it up and down. The rhythm is very cheerful and beautiful.

After Master Farrer mentioned a few more words, Qi Mu continued to practice.What he didn't know was that, just two meters away, Master Farrer started to complain about Professor Akad in the [Little Angel's Piano Practice Room] discussion group.

Farrar: [Reed, your record player is broken, why haven't you sent it in for repair?Angel has been tossing for a long time this morning. 】After a few minutes, before Professor Akad could answer, a certain man who just joined the discussion group with force last night spoke first——

[The record player is broken?what happened? 】

Farrar: [Oh, Auston, Angel came to the academy very early this morning, holding a vinyl record and seemed to want to listen to it, but the record player was broken, so we had to take the record player to repair it . ] Min Chen: [……]

After a while, Min Chen: [Reid, something is broken and you are diligent in repairing it. This is a kind of beauty. 】Master Fale looked at the flashing text on the phone, and couldn't help but tighten his eyebrows strangely.He didn't understand, Reed's record player was broken...Why did Auston pay so much attention?

However, it didn't take long for Master Fale to think about it, and soon Qi Mu started another performance. This time, Master Fale put the phone on the sofa and began to personally guide Qi Mu.

As for the record player?Just leave it in the repair shop for a good fix.

A week passed quickly, and at Master Farrer's insistence, Qi Mu finally chose "The Skylark" as his performance in the second evaluation of this semester.

This time, in the evaluation of the Paris National Higher Conservatory of Music, a famous music master like Min Chen was not invited, but a well-known French cellist was also invited as the main judge.

After the music reaches the highest level, there is no interlacing disturbance anymore.And between the cello and the violin, which are both stringed instruments, their intervals are even more subtle.

Therefore, after Qi Mu finished playing the song "The Lark", the cellist smiled kindly amidst the warm applause, and praised: "The last time the Paris National Higher Conservatory of Music conducted a full-school evaluation At that time, I happened to be giving a solo performance in Switzerland. But I have always heard that the violin department and the piano department, which had been evenly divided during my school days... have begun to overwhelm the other.”

After a pause, the master said again: "To be honest, I still didn't believe it when I first heard about it. I believe that all the students who graduated from this great academy know it. Of course, there are also Including me, the violin department and the piano department of the Paris National Higher Conservatory of Music have always been equal rivals, and there has never been an absolute advantage for one side. And when I knew that the student who gave the violin department such an advantage, actually came from Oss I've been dying to meet Don Burtram since he scored a 9.5 in both hands."

The applause of the audience has gradually subsided, and they began to look forward to what kind of score the chief judge will give this handsome young man on the stage out of a bunch of perfect scores of 9.5.

I saw the master looked at Qi Mu with gentle and tolerant eyes, and said: "So today, I finally saw you, and I understand...why you can get a high score from Auston Burtram, of course, I think he gave you a lower score. You deserve—"

"10 points."

As soon as the score landed, there was a sensation in the audience.

Standing on the stage where the lights gathered, Qi Mu listened to such high praise, he humbly nodded slightly, and said very politely: "Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Glatter, I will continue to work hard."

The silver-haired Mr. Glatter smiled and said, "Child, I think I should be able to see your future in my lifetime. After classical music, you young people will rule the world."

In the end, Qi Mu won No.96 in this evaluation with a high score of 1 points, directly opening the gap with No.2 by 8 points.Once again, the violin department crushed its old rival, the piano department, so that the young men in the piano department could only stare angrily.

Relying on her height advantage, Delan embraced Qi Mu's shoulders excitedly, and said excitedly: "Xiao Qi, with you here, we will definitely be able to overwhelm those guys from the piano department in the future! It's really great !"

Hearing this, Qi Mu couldn't help chuckling and raised the corners of his lips, but he just said "um" and didn't speak any more.He always remembered that Professor Akad told him this way two months ago, as long as he can get No.1 in three consecutive assessments, he can directly graduate from the Paris National Higher Conservatory of Music.

Hmm... It's better to tell De Lan about such things later, so as not to spoil his interest.

On the second day after the assessment, Qi Mu arrived at the piano room half an hour earlier than usual, ready to practice.But not long after he took out his violin today, Mr. Farrer gently pushed open the door of the piano room.

Qi Mu was wondering why Master Fale came so early today, when he saw this mild-tempered old gentleman frowned his thick eyebrows, sighed helplessly, and said, "Angel, there are two things... ...I want to tell you, I don't know which one you want to hear?"

Qi Mu was holding the rosin to wipe the bow, his slender fingers contrasted with the light yellow rosin, making him appear a bit fairer.

Hearing Master Farrer's words, he couldn't help but put down the rosin and the bow in his hand, frowned slightly, and asked in a gentle tone: "Mr. Farrer, generally speaking...should not be divided into good news and bad news. Message, will you let me make a choice?"

Master Farrer was stunned, and finally waved his hand, saying: "Well, Angel, this is probably your Chinese culture. Let me just say it directly. First of all, the next season's performance in Dresden has been decided one month earlier. So tomorrow at the latest, preferably tonight, I need to go back to Dresden."

This answer surprised Qi Mu, after a long while, he nodded, and said again: "Mr. Nafale... I wonder what the other news is?"

Mr. Farrer smiled and turned his head to the side, looked at the lovely young man in front of him with admiration, and said, "Angel, I'm going back to the Dresden Symphony Orchestra. I think my orchestra is still very good. Yes, then... do you want to go and have a look with me before that old guy Reed comes back?"

Qi Mu suddenly opened his eyes wide, unable to hide his surprise at all.

The Dresden Symphony Orchestra... More than good? !

This symphony orchestra has been established for more than 400 years and is the oldest symphony orchestra in the world.It has gone through ups and downs for nearly five centuries, and was even almost destroyed during World War II, but it still stands strong and stands at a top-notch level to this day.

In 1823, Master Beethoven, who was honored as a saint of music, once recorded in his dialogue collection: "Generally speaking, the Dresden State Symphony Orchestra is the best orchestra in Europe."

Of course, after more than 200 years, the Dresden Symphony Orchestra, which has experienced many ups and downs, no longer has the absolute advantage that once stood at the pinnacle of classical music and has never been rivaled. However, no one in the world dares to deny that this great orchestra has One of the top symphony orchestras in the world.

And now, the chief conductor of the Dresden Symphony Orchestra...is inviting Qi Mu to observe it!

For him, this is definitely a golden opportunity!

Qi Mu managed to suppress the excitement in his heart, his fingers tightened slightly, and he nodded vigorously: "Mr. Farrer, can I really...can I go?"

Mr. Farrer smiled and nodded: "Of course! Angel, go back and pack your things, we're leaving tonight!"

Qi Mu immediately started to pack his piano case, intending to hurry back to pack his luggage, but just as he walked out of the piano room, he suddenly remembered: It seems that until now...he hasn't listened to that record that was carefully placed in the safe? !

"Mr. Farrer, I suddenly remembered that I haven't heard that record. I wonder if you have a better record player that you can lend me so that I can take the record to Dresden to listen to it? "

Hearing this, Mr. Farrer was slightly taken aback, then nodded and said: "By the way, you don't know about this, Angel. Yesterday when you were evaluating, the repair shop had already delivered the record player, and now it's completely gone. It's fixed."

Qi Mu was taken aback for a moment, and then he asked subconsciously: "...Is it fixed?"

Mr. Farrer smiled and nodded: "Well, I also saw that vinyl record last time. Its vinyl surface is very beautiful. It should be a very good record. Now that the record player has been delivered, how about it? Let's go and listen now, Angel."

At Mr. Farrer's suggestion, Qi Mu and him put down the things in their hands first, and walked to Professor Akad's lounge.

Standing in front of the door of the lounge, Qi Mu stretched out his hand and gently pushed open the wooden door. With a "squeak", the gentle and bright sunlight poured down, making him squint his eyes uncontrollably.

After more than half a month, he finally...

Gotta hear that record.
