King of Classical Music

As an opera house, the layout of the performance hall of the Semper Opera House is naturally slightly different from other concert halls.

In normal European symphony halls, it is generally customary to arrange the stage for orchestra performances in the center of the auditorium, adopting a wrap-around layout.In this way, the sound can have a better transmission effect, and try to let every audience in the audience enjoy the most beautiful music.

But if it’s an opera, it’s natural to focus on repertory performances.

Therefore, in the opera house, the performance position of the symphony orchestra is generally one meter or even 1.5 meters lower than the stage, so that the audience can better focus on the actors on the stage.

Excellent symphony orchestras are used to hiding themselves behind an opera, using wonderful symphonic music to shock and praise all the audience present, making the audience addicted to the opera and not realizing their existence until the end of the performance.

The Dresden Symphony Orchestra is obviously one of the outstanding existences.

The Magic Flute is an opera written in the last year of Mozart's short 35-year life.This gorgeous and beautiful opera tells a fairy-tale dreamlike story: the young and brave Egyptian prince is chased by a giant snake, but fortunately saved by the queen of the night.The queen of the night showed the picture of her daughter to the prince, and gave the prince a magic flute, asking him to rescue her daughter from the evil demon.But in fact, the real identity of the devil is the leader of light, and the queen of the night wants the prince to kill the "demon" because of jealousy.

At the end of the story, there will always be a happy ending, just like Mozart hoped that his embarrassing and miserable life could be turned around. The prince saw through the conspiracy of the Queen of the Night and married the beautiful princess. "The Magic Flute" also ushered in A perfect happy ending.

The story is always beautiful, but the reality is cruel. This "Magic Flute", as the greatest opera in Mozart's life, brought him endless glory, but did not save his life.

But when he was in Vienna, Master Lance once said that he hoped that Qi Mu would "become Mozart, not Beethoven".

Because even though he was tortured by life and illness at a young age, Mozart's music always has a positive and optimistic attitude, believing that the world is beautiful and that goodness can defeat evil.

And now, what is being performed on the stage is the second song of the first act of "The Magic Flute", "I am a happy bird catcher".

On the stage is a brightly dressed tenor, singing cheerful and moving tunes.And below the stage, the brisk and melodious voice of the symphony orchestra gently echoed in the performance hall.

Qi Mu has never been so fortunate as today. In operas, the symphony orchestra's position is not so conspicuous.

When Qi Mu just walked into the front of the stage from both sides of the stage, he felt a hot gaze sticking tightly to himself.That gaze was so anxious that Qi Mu's throat felt a little dry, and he didn't dare to look up at him at all.

Because he knows-

who's that person.

Master Farrer added Qi Mu to the orchestra this time, so Qi Mu's name was not printed on the publicity posters and brochures to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.Therefore, among the audience who came to the Semper Opera House tonight, except for a few old friends whom Master Faller was familiar with, no one knew the existence of Qi Mu.

So... Who else could stare at him like this?

After finally avoiding that gaze and sitting in the first violin group, among the crowd of people, Qi Mu finally did not feel the gaze that seemed to burn him.He breathed a sigh of relief, but it didn't take long for the opera to officially begin.

Once he entered the performance, only the voice of the orchestra and the conductor standing on the podium remained in Qi Mu's world.

Tonight, Qi Mu is just performing as an ordinary member of the orchestra. In fact, at his level, he is quite qualified to be the chief of the Dejiao.But when he really participated in this opera, Qi Mu suddenly realized: how is a symphony orchestra that accompanies an opera different from other orchestras.

In order to cooperate with the actors, the symphony orchestra has to hide itself in the dark, so that the audience forgets their existence, but enjoys their music.

This was the first time that Qi Mu was not illuminated by the gathered lights on the stage. Hiding in the darkness, he suddenly felt as if he had merged with the opera.He can perform his own music at will, and dominate the emotions on the stage with the orchestra.

When the bass began to mourn, the cello whimpered softly; when the soprano roared angrily, the violin and wind instruments roared.

No matter how gorgeous skills can be displayed in such darkness, even at a certain high pitch, Qi Mu decisively gave up the middle part on the e string, and played the whole piece directly on the d string.

Once a continuous melody spans two strings, no matter how fast the bow is turned and the fingers are moved, there will always be a tiny gap.

But there is an a-string between the high-pitched e-string and the mid-bass d-string, so if you want to perform the treble on the e-string on the d-string, it is simply a natural difficulty for amateurs.

Of course, it is still very easy for a professional violinist, it is just a matter of accurately grasping the treble range.But... what if the switching speed of the bass and treble is in an instant?

When Min Chen discerned the only coherent rhythm among the many voices, he was slightly startled, and then immediately turned to look at the direction blocked by many violinists.

In the quiet darkness, Min Chen smiled lowly and curled up his thin lips, which silently opened and closed a few times.If there are people who know lip language here, they will probably translate this sentence like this, that is——

"caught you. 』

A grand and grand opera, even if it lasts nearly 3 hours, all the audience can enjoy it.Even after finally seeing the prince and princess together, they still haven't recovered from the warm and beautiful singing.

Qi Mu had never performed such a "neglected whole show" performance before. He followed the crowd and bowed to the audience off the stage to thank them.

Even though he has been ignored all the time, Qi Mu felt very satisfied, because tonight, he freely performed a piece of "Magic Flute" in his mind.

In the Semper Opera House, the thunderous applause seemed to intensify the already enthusiastic atmosphere a few points, and amidst the endless applause from the audience, members of the Deutschland began to leave the stage one after another. Tonight's performance also Even if it's officially over.

As soon as Qi Mu walked into the backstage, Mr. Farrer couldn't wait to walk over to him, and said with a smile: "Angel, you performed really well tonight! Although I can't hear how you did it so seamlessly Played, but from what I guess...you secretly used a lot of difficult techniques? Like, you gave up the e-string?"

Although the hearing ability is not as good as Min Chen's, Master Farrer's research on the violin is much higher than the former.Therefore, even though Min Chen could hear Qi Mu's piano sound in the singing of the actors and the performance of the orchestra, he did not find out what technique Qi Mu used.

Although Master Fale didn't hear it, he was still able to guess it with his rich experience.

In this regard, Qi Mu did not hide it: "Yes, Mr. Farrer, I always think that if the second song of the third act is played on the e string, there will be a little gap, but if it is played on the a string, there will be a little time difference. .So... I tried playing it directly on the d string."

Mr. Farrer nodded in satisfaction, and praised: "Your speed is really fast, Angel. In a few years, I may not be able to keep up with the speed of your left hand. Oh, it's nice to be young! Compared with opera, actually Angel, I think you are more suited to the symphony, what a pity... there don't seem to be any orchestras changing principals at the moment."

Professor Akad said this sentence half a year ago, and now when he heard it again, Qi Mu smiled and didn't care too much: "Mr. Farrer, you also said that I am still young, and I don't care about these things. .”

Such a confident and steady young man really made Master Fale feel at ease. After he praised Qi Mu a few more words, he suddenly remembered something: "Oh, by the way, Angel, it's really too late today, our celebration will be changed to Tomorrow night, you know that?"

Qi Mu smiled and nodded: "Well, I heard Jenny said it yesterday."

Master Farrer said: "Well, since it's getting late, you can go with me later, Aitori must have prepared delicious red wine and is waiting for us to go back to celebrate. You should pack up your things quickly ,I'll meet you at the gate."

As soon as Mr. Farrer's words fell to the ground, Qi Mu's face became embarrassed.

A trace of hesitation flashed across the handsome and fair face. After a long time, Qi Mu sighed and said, "Mr. Farrer... tonight, I'd better go back alone, I still have something to deal with."

Seeing this, Mr. Farrer thought for a while before he understood.He smiled teasingly and asked, "What? Do you want to chat with Auston? Angel, I have known Auston for more than ten years. Although his temper is not so gentle, he is indeed A person worth entrusting for life. If you also have a crush on him, don't miss it..."

"Yes, yes, I see, Mr. Farrar."

"Angel, I'm doing this for your own good. Auston is a good person, he..."

After Mr. Farrer chanted for 5 minutes, Qi Mu reluctantly sent away the master who suddenly became interested in being a matchmaker.

Looking at the back of the other party going away, Qi Mu shook his head in amusement and helplessness, and said to himself: "I'm going...to see him? How is this possible..."

That's right, Qi Mu's matter tonight is indeed related to a certain man, but...it's not like Master Fale said, he wants to chat with him.

As a result of coming to the Semper Theater early this morning to check out locations, Qi Mu found that besides the most formal gate and a more conspicuous back door, the Semper Theater also had a small door that could only be used by one person.

This kind of secret place is really suitable for sneaking away, isn't it!

When Qi Mu tiptoed out of the small door with his piano case in hand, he looked at the deserted and quiet street, took a deep breath with joy, and sighed with emotion in a low voice: "Well... the air is really good..."

But after a while, a deep and magnetic male voice suddenly came over: "Well, it's better than Berlin."

Qi Mu: "..."

The next second, the young man opened his eyes wide in horror, and turned his head to look at the man who was speaking in disbelief.

Under the bright and bright moonlight, a tall and handsome man was leaning back against the uneven brick wall, staring at him seriously and intently.The other party's dark and deep eyes seemed to be brewing with strong feelings, and his thin lips were slightly raised, with a hint of a teasing smile.

The person here is not Min Chen, who else could it be? ! ! !

Qi Mu: "..."
