The spacious and towering concert hall stage was lit by seven or eight beams of bright spotlights. On such a dazzling stage, a handsome and beautiful young man was holding a small and exquisite imitation violin on his shoulders, but he did not. Playing the piano, he turned his head to look in the direction of the grand piano.
The piano that the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Conservatory of Music in Paris provided students to evaluate was a nine-foot Bösendorfer grand piano. Such a behemoth arrogantly and domineeringly straddled the middle and rear of the stage, and it almost took three or four middle-aged men to move it.
Therefore, when students from other departments are performing, the piano is quietly placed there, and it is only removed by the staff when the assessment is over.
In the spacious concert hall, the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard. Everyone stared at the man sitting behind the piano with wide eyes, as if they couldn't believe who they were seeing.
For Qi Mu, it was no longer "surprised", but—
horrified.
One second he was seriously preparing to play, but the next second, when he turned his head, he saw this man who was supposed to be thousands of miles away!
It didn't take long for Qi Mu to be surprised, only to see Min Chen raised his right index finger, put it lightly in front of his nose, and then pointed at the stunned young man.
Such a simple action made Qi Mu suddenly understand. In the silence of the audience, the two smiled at each other, and then Qi Mu turned his head decisively. The next moment—
The soft and melodious sound of the piano poured out from the hole of the piano.
The sound of the violin is like a warm hot spring water, dispelling the bleakness in autumn, and spreading out a beautiful picture of spring. The sound of the piano was light and soft, and the beat of each note was extremely relaxed, as if an elves were dancing on the strings.
Accompanied by the clear and gentle echo of the piano.
Beethoven's "Spring Sonata" is an ensemble for piano and violin. When Qi Mu first started practicing, he only prepared the performance of the first movement and the fourth movement. One was a brisk allegro and the other was a melodious convolution. The beautiful and moving piano sound was played in double, in the quiet concert hall. reverberate.
This is a low-pitched whisper of piano and violin. The two gently respond to each other's voices, like a pair of close friends and like a couple, full of vigorous upgrades and surging enthusiasm, spreading the breath of spring to the audience. Let everyone feel the warmth of the spring breeze.
On the stage, the young man's fair and slender fingers were illuminated by the lights. The light was so dazzling that the people in the audience couldn't see the movements of the fingers clearly, and they could only hear the continuous sound of the water-like piano.
Behind Qi Mu, Min Chen's movements were completely blocked by the huge body of the piano. He looked down at the movements between his fingers with a calm expression, raised his head from time to time to look at the young man not far away, his eyes were soft and tolerant, blocked by the black piano board, so that ordinary audience could not see clearly.
The violin suddenly whispered a sentence, and the piano responded in a low voice; the violin suddenly danced enthusiastically, and the piano followed its steps and played happily.
Someone once commented on Beethoven's "Spring Sonata": "This piece is not too difficult or too obscure, but if you want to make the sound of the violin and the piano perfectly blend together, then This performance... must have been rehearsed for a long time."
And now, the audience below the stage also thinks so.
They admired such a graceful and euphemistic performance, praised the sound of the violin, and some even saw the green of spring in front of them. Although he didn't say it, many people have long thought in their hearts—
"This "Spring Sonata" must have been rehearsed for a long time, right? 』
Any piece of music, as long as it is played by more than two people, must be rehearsed in advance. Even if the rhythm and melody are exactly the same, both sides of the ensemble cannot guarantee that they will be able to blend in with each other's music without prior rehearsal.
For example, the sound of the violin should be a little soft at this time, and let the piano sing a slow melody; for example, the violin should be a little faster at that time, and let the piano catch up quickly.
Achieving such a top level without rehearsing beforehand
Even Delan wouldn't believe it if you say it!
But... Only Qi Mu and Min Chen knew that such a near-perfect "Spring Sonata" was their first ensemble.
However, as if they had played together hundreds of times, when Min Chen suddenly pressed a chord, Qi Mu immediately accelerated his speed, and when Qi Mu suddenly used the adapted jump bow to perform a paragraph When it comes to syllables, Min Chen tacitly corresponds with portamento.
Obviously this piece has been changed by Qi Mu in a few small parts, but even if there is such a change in the middle, the man can continue it very freely, and on the basis of the original improvement, the violin is more prominent. Beautiful sound.
When the whole song went to the last paragraph of the harmony, the people off the field were already inspired by the sound of the piano singing duet to each other, and after the whole song ended, when the first "Bravo" appeared, there was never before there was a burst of warm applause. sounded.
At this time, amidst thunderous applause, someone finally woke up—
"Just now... I seem to have really heard the sound of the spring stream!"
"I didn't expect it to be "Spring". It really showed me a beautiful spring!"
"This piece has been completely performed above the level of the academy. Even if it is performed by a world-class symphony troupe, there is no problem at all, right?!"
…
Of course, there are others whose concerns are very different from these purely appreciative audiences—
"Mr. Bertram actually played for this Qi Mu ensemble?"
"It's a bit of an honor, isn't it? Where is the ensemble... Why do I think the sound of this violin is even slightly better than that of the piano? The violin is the protagonist of this piece!"
"Mr. Bertram seemed to have deliberately used the accompaniment style just now, but I didn't expect such a young student to have the momentum to play with Mr. Bertram!"
"Is this also a kind of aura...?"
…
Generally speaking, those who say this are members of major orchestras around the world. They specially came to the assessment site of the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Paris today, in order to find good seedlings, incorporate them into their own orchestra, and absorb fresh blood.
Before Qi Mu started playing, many people wondered if they wanted to invite him into their orchestra, but when they saw the man suddenly appear behind the piano, and even played a piece of "Spring" with this young man, they suddenly realized —
"It turned out that it was taken away by Bai Ai long ago? Then what else are we robbing!"
Of course, does no one really want to grab it again
Under the circumstance that "the chief conductor of Bai Ai was standing on the stage and looked indifferently at the audience", Mr. Hook, the principal violinist of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, "bravely" handed an olive branch to the young people on the stage.
It is rare that…
Qi Mu actually didn't decline! ! !
Looking at the old man with a beard off the stage, the young man felt amused and helpless at the same time. He didn't say the words of rejection, but it didn't mean that Qi Mu really had to accept New Love's invitation, but Qi Mu didn't expect New Love to send the violin chief Mr. For the sake of face, it is not good for him to refuse directly.
After the invitations of the major orchestras are over, it is the scoring stage of the ten judges.
The whole school assessment of the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Paris does not stipulate that each student must perform alone. Just like the previous Leanster and Aina, they are two ensembles and each gets their own score.
Of course, it's not unheard of to invite people outside the academy to accompany you, but there really is no one... You have invited a music master like Min Chen.
When grading, more than half of the ten judges knew Min Chen, and one or two were even his fans.
However, this does not add points to Qi Mu, and some judges even commented harshly: "Your accompaniment is too strong, I think... Qi Mu, you need to have the ability to control the accompaniment. Such strength is very rare. Yes, I'm sorry... In the performance just now, you really controlled the sound of my favorite Mr. Bertram."
As he spoke, the pianist grimaced and gave a score: "I'm angry, my impulsive brain makes me want to tell you: 'I prefer your accompaniment!', but... My reason tells me that I have to give you full marks."
In such a dumbfounding review, Qi Mu got the first full score.
Then the second, the third, the fourth...
Ninth.
until the last chief judge.
"Your accompaniment is very good, and you are also very good. I like Auston's piano as much as Lazzoni, but I am not as naive and emotional as him." Lazzoni is the pianist who looked sad just now, and this The main judge was an excellent trumpeter, he smiled and looked at Qi Mu and said, "I'm not the same as Lazoni, I think... Your score should be worthy of your strength, to be able to make Austrian Ston Bertram is really your accompaniment, Qi Mu... you deserve—"
"10 points."
