"Infinite Movement" within 3 minutes and 35 seconds took Qi Mu seven days. It was not until the morning of the last day that he finally played a piece of "Infinite Movement" in the early 3 minutes and 34 seconds, which caused Professor Akkad to be quite concerned.
In fact, at the beginning, Professor Akkad just gave Qi Mu a basically impossible task, and did not intend for him to actually complete it. Even for those who have practiced "Infinite Movement" before, it is very difficult to reach the level within 3 minutes and 40 seconds after not practicing this piece for a long time.
However, Qi Mu really did it.
Until now, Professor Akkad really understands how much determination and hard work he has as a student.
Such a young man with top talent and unremitting efforts can't stand at the highest peak of classical music
Professor Akkad can't believe it.
"Xiao Qi, you are really the most outstanding child I have ever seen." Taking off the presbyopic glasses on the bridge of his nose and gently putting them aside, Professor Akkad sighed and said, "Talent is a kind of It's hard to estimate things, among the people I've seen, you can rank among the top group of people with talent, but it's definitely not the highest."
Qi Mu took his violin off his shoulders, and listening to Professor Akkad's words, he was not annoyed, but nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes, I have never felt that I have a talent that surpasses others, teacher."
Hearing this, Professor Akkad was stern, shook his head and said, "Xiao Qi, you don't need to humble yourself, your talent is no worse than that kid in Kodori, that is, compared to the non-human being in Auston. Get up, it's a little worse. Of course, I don't think your violin will be worse than his piano in the future, and the day when you surpass him is not far away."
This made Qi Mu smile, but did not speak.
If other people hear that Master Akkad evaluates his students like this, that he can surpass Min Chen, then others will definitely agree: "Master Akkad is too partial to his students!"
But in fact, even if Master Farrar was asked to evaluate, I am afraid he would say the same thing.
Why is Qi Mu's talent inferior to Min Chen's? It is because he will never become a successful and outstanding composer and conductor like the latter, but this does not mean that Qi Mu's violin skills will lose to Min Chen's piano.
Seemingly remembering someone's threat a few days ago, Professor Akkad pursed his mouth awkwardly, and then asked: "Okay, Xiaoqi, let's not talk about that guy in Auston. You are also recently The Academy Orchestra has been staying for a few days, how is the situation in the orchestra recently, you should be familiar with it all?"
The mild and bright sunlight shines into the piano room through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows, reflecting the tiny dust particles in the air, as if they are flying gently in the air.
The young man's hair was a little golden under the sunlight. He raised his eyes to look at his lovely teacher, and frowned with a smile: "Teacher, it's been six days, if I dare to say that I'm not familiar... Are you going to be angry? ah?"
Professor Akkad, who had been figured out, coughed awkwardly and retorted: "Hu... nonsense! I've been busy recently, so I only thought of this. Okay, the school performance will start in a few days. , how is your situation in the orchestra?"
"This time, the school's performance orchestra is going to focus on Haydn's music, playing "Symphony No. 45 in F sharp minor" and his "Violin Concerto No. 1." Seeing his teacher's awkward appearance, Qi Mu smiled and said, "This time the conductor is Mr. Kawaguchi from the Conducting Department. We have been rehearsing for several days, and the orchestra rehearsed well."
Hearing this, Professor Akade nodded: "Yes. The opening performance of the National Conservatory of Music in Paris is still more important in the industry. Basically, there will be live TV broadcasts in France, and there will also be some reports from Vienna. This performance also It will be recorded on CD, you have to treat it well, you know?"
Qi Mu nodded seriously and replied with a smile, "Yes."
For the next hour, Qi Mu and Professor Akkad began to discuss Wilhelm's music again.
When Qi Mu finished the morning class and packed up and was about to go to the rehearsal room, Professor Akkad suddenly coughed twice, and took a small bag out of his back awkwardly.
"Xiao Qi... You are very busy every day, and you should eat better at noon, you know? The teacher brought you some corn from home, which was cooked by the neighbors last night. I heard that you Chinese people don't like it very much. For sandwiches, burgers and bread, you can try corn."
Hearing this, Qi Mu widened his eyes in astonishment, and after a long while he found the bag in Professor Akkad's hand.
It seemed that he could smell the sweet smell of corn from a distance, and Qi Mu's heart softened and nodded, "Mr. Akkad, you can come to my apartment in a few days, and I can cook some Chinese delicacies for you. Try it."
Professor Akkad was taken aback: "Is it really possible?!"
"sure!"
Originally, it was just a simple way of giving some corn to the students, but in the end it turned into an agreement "after the school performance, invite the teacher to come home for dinner." As a result, I am very satisfied.
After Qi Mu left the piano room, he opened his mobile phone with a smile and sent a message—
Reed: [Hey! Auston! Yesterday you asked me to urge Xiaoqi to have a good meal. You see, I gave him two delicious sweet corns today!]Daniel: […Master Akkad, where did you think…Two sweet corns can make you so proud?]Min Chen: [Two corns?]
Reed: [Yes! After I delivered two corns, Xiao Qi invited me to his house for dinner just now! It's amazing, I haven't tried Xiaoqi's craft yet!]Min Chen: […]
So, the pain of a long-distance relationship is that you secretly and secretly ask others to take good care of your lover, but if you don't get the last benefit, you have to secretly be jealous of that delicious meal!
Min Chen narrowed his eyes and finished Bo Ai's noon break with an unpleasant expression, and then...
It was a terrifying afternoon like purgatory!
All members of Bo Ai: ... so! Why is the command more and more strict! ! !
…
Qi Mu didn't know anything about what happened in Berlin.
As the interim principal of the academy orchestra, Qi Mu didn't know much about the orchestra from the beginning, and it only took less than a day of work. Even in the rehearsal the next afternoon, his piano voice was able to be completely integrated into the sound of the orchestra, which surprised everyone.
Even Cliff couldn't help but sigh: "Xiao Qi, you are really the most powerful violinist I have ever seen! Everyone has only rehearsed twice, and it is amazing that you are so familiar with the rhythm of the orchestra. !"
In fact, Cliff did not know that Farrer Lewis, one of the four major conductors in the world, once said with emotion: "If the time goes back ten years, Angel, I am sure that you will become a world-famous conductor. Family!"
The absolute sense of sound and ear power enable Qi Mu to clearly identify all the sounds in the orchestra, and coupled with his superb memory formed by hard practice, he can integrate into any orchestra in the shortest possible time.
Qi Mu has collaborated with several symphony orchestras in his two lifetimes, ranging from a small ensemble he joined when he first arrived in Vienna in his last life, to the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, the Vienna Philharmonic, and the New York Philharmonic. The Academy Orchestra of the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Paris was not the best he had ever participated in, but the level of its students made him feel a little surprised.
In another ten years, I am afraid that many people here will shine in the world's top orchestras!
Two Haydn's pieces, after the orchestra practiced for about a week, got the approval of conductor Kawaguchi-sensei.
This conductor professor from Japan has been combing his hair neatly with hairspray and wearing an old-fashioned suit all day long. At first glance, he is a very strict and simple person.
At first, the professor was quite skeptical of Qi Mu, after all, Qi Mu's age was not directly proportional to his reputation in the academy.
Especially after seeing that Qi Mu turned out to be such a handsome young man, Mr. Kawaguchi, who always believed that "appearance and strength are inversely related", looked at Qi Mu suspiciously for a long time and didn't believe his strength.
But after a few rehearsals, Professor Kawaguchi couldn't help saying to Qi Mu in private: "Xiao Qi, I want to apologize for my doubts. Your violin is very good. I believe that with you, we The school opening performance will be more successful!"
Qi Mu smiled gently and politely accepted the professor's compliment. At that time, he happened to be on his way to the supermarket to buy ingredients, and he suddenly remembered that he would invite Mr. Kawaguchi to come to his house for a gathering after the school performance was over.
After Qi Mu made this suggestion, Mr. Kawaguchi agreed with great pleasure, and expressed his honor to have this opportunity.
After turning a corner at the next intersection, Qi Mu and Teacher Kawaguchi said goodbye with a smile. Not long after he entered the supermarket, he suddenly received a call from Berlin. Qi Mu couldn't help raising the corners of his lips, and his expression became much softer.
"Is the afternoon rehearsal over?"
There are not many people in the supermarket, and all kinds of goods are neatly and regularly placed on each shelf, which looks dazzling at a glance.
Qi Mu pushed the car and walked under the bright light, only to hear a man's low voice over the phone: "Well, it's over, what are you doing?"
It happened that Qi Mu took a succulent cabbage and put it in the cart. He said, "I bought the dishes for making hot pot in a few nights. It just happened that the school's opening performance will be held in a few days. I plan to do it after the end. I invited a few classmates, Mr. Akkad, and Mr. Kawaguchi from the Conducting Department to eat hot pot at home, it was lively and lively."
After a long silence on the phone, Min Chen said, "...It's not your own cooking, and it's not just Reed?"
Qi Mu was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses: "So Teacher Akkad told you? Well, it's not just the teacher alone, but also Delan and Ange. It takes a lot of people to eat hot pot to be lively. If I cook by myself, I can’t be too busy, so I can only invite everyone to eat hot pot.” After a while, he suddenly thought: “I’m very busy recently, the opening performance of our academy is still quite good, you can come and listen. ."
"Recently, Bai Ai is preparing to start this year's global tour, so I'm still a little busy."
Hearing this answer, Qi Mu couldn't help feeling a little lost. After the two said a few words, Qi Mu pushed the cart to the supermarket counter and settled the bill.
The gorgeous sunset light dyed the night sky of Paris a gorgeous rose red. Qi Mu raised her hand to cover her forehead. Looking at such a moving scene, she couldn't help but admire: "What a beautiful day!"
… what a beautiful day? !
Boai people don't think so! ! !
It was agreed that everyone would have dinner in the lounge in the evening, and how about the command to treat guests? !
Why did it suddenly become a commanding person to sit in the corner and eat Huaxia hot pot "sneakly", while they could only nibble on the steak and smell it secretly there? !
So fragrant and spicy!
They also want to eat well! ! !
