On December 31, 2016, Wei AI's deputy chief recruitment meeting officially came to an end.
Countless media reporters swarmed up, blocking Mr. Dorensa and others who had just walked out of the building of the Friends of Music Association.
All kinds of microphones were crowded in front of these senior officials of Wei Ai, but Mr. Dorensa showed no temper at all. Instead, he smiled and said gently: "The final result of today's deputy chief recruitment meeting still needs to be waited for. The final confirmation will be made at the band members meeting, and once I have the most accurate name, I will definitely notify you as soon as possible.”
A quick-minded reporter suddenly shouted, "If it's just a final confirmation... Master Dorenza, have you drafted the final list of deputy chiefs?"
Hearing this, Mr. Dorenza shook his head calmly and said with a smile: "I think every applicant is very talented, and it is difficult for me to choose. After the New Year's concert tomorrow, I will probably give You have an answer."
After saying these words, Mr. Dorenza and the others left the building of the Friends of Music Association with the help of VAI security personnel. Qi Mu, on the other hand, put on a white baseball cap and calmly walked past the reporters.
With a Mr. Dorensa who attracts firepower, Qi Mu even seems to be superfluous in disguise.
When Qi Mu came to Master Lance's house, this gentle and elegant master had already prepared a sumptuous meal, which made Qi Mu feel quite ashamed, and repeatedly said that he should wait for him to help the other party.
Seeing the young man's guilty appearance, Master Lance smiled slightly, and then said: "Xiao Qi... I think, maybe we don't have that much time to prepare dinner. It's 4:32 in the afternoon, are you sure we Still have time?" While speaking, Master Lance turned on the TV and stereo.
Mr. Lance's home has always been retro and simple, and his TV is also an old-fashioned big belly, which should be more than ten or twenty years old. But Master Lance has two pairs of very excellent and excellent speakers. Qi Mu has heard it before. When the sound is played, the music is like roaring in his ears.
After Qi Mu and Master Lance briefly had dinner together, they temporarily put the dinner plate in the incubator, waiting for the concert to be served again. Now the two of them are sitting in front of the TV together, watching the grand and majestic concert hall on the screen gradually fill with people, and gradually change from noisy to calm.
When the beautiful hostess introduced this classic and grand symphony concert to the audience in fluent German, Qi Mu poured a cup of black coffee for Master Lance, only to hear the latter say: "Every year I sit in Listen to the hostess here to introduce the same words, Xiao Qi, when will we go to the scene together to hear it?"
Qi Mu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "Okay, Mr. Lance, next year, let the teacher, you and I go to Berlin to listen to the live concert together."
The Berlin Philharmonic New Year's Concert is different from the Vienna New Year's Concert. The former is usually held on December 31 from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm at the Berlin Philharmonic Hall, welcoming the new year with beautiful and moving music. 's arrival The latter usually puts on a brilliant performance in the Golden Hall at 11:00 am on January 1 of the following year.
And now Qi Mu is sitting at Master Lance's house, watching Bai Ai's New Year's performance with him.
After all the members of the orchestra entered the stage one after another, the applause from the audience never stopped. After Kedori also came on stage, a handsome and tall man walked out from one side of the stage. Dori bowed together in thanks.
At this time, the narration of the beautiful hostess sounded again: "This year's New Year's concert of the Berlin Philharmonic is still presided over by the orchestra's chief conductor, Mr. Auston von Bertram, and the violin's chief violinist is Kodori R. Slaughter. This year's program is Hindemitt's Symphony Dance No. 3…”
Qi Mu had heard a man tell him the list of these tracks a long time ago, but now when he listened to it again, he was surprised to find that this man who had never played his cards according to common sense was going to be at the end of the New Year's concert. , to end the performance with a solemn and solemn "Symphony of Pathos"!
This reminded Qi Mu that when this man led Bo Ai on a tour in China a year ago, he ended up with a majestic "Symphony of Destiny", which was really "ingenious"!
Qi Mu said with tears in his eyes, "How can anyone play "Sadness" on New Year's Day..."
However, Master Lance shook his head with a smile: "Maybe Auston can direct a completely different "Sadness"? Xiao Qi, let's continue listening."
Qi Mu nodded lightly, but after a while, the orchestra was already in tune.
After Min Chen and Kedoori looked at each other, the baton was gently raised, and the fierce and high-spirited music roared, causing the entire Berlin Philharmonic Hall to become silent in an instant. Pull up, let people involuntarily shock!
The first is Hindemith's "Symphonic Dances No. 3", followed by three "Slavic Dances" by Dvorak...
The sound of the Berlin Philharmonic is pure and fiery, like the cleanest metal clanging, without a trace of noise. The tuba is roaring, the trumpet is chanting, the cello is whimpering, and the violin is singing. Every sound seems to be divided into countless small fragments, which penetrate into the ears of every audience present, and enter every audience in front of the TV. heart.
Someone once commented on Bai Ai's music: "They have a pure tone like metal, they have the most orthodox classical tuning, no one in the world can surpass Bai Ai on the symphony stage, just as no one dares to deny Bedouin. Finn is the most well-deserved symphony king! 』
One symphony after another flowed out from the stereo, and in the spacious living room, there was no other movement except the sound of music. Qi Mu and Master Lance enjoyed this wonderful music together until they heard the third movement of a unique "Symphony of Sorrows".
When he heard a certain passage, Qi Mu opened his eyes suddenly and looked at Master Lance in surprise. I saw the latter also nodded slightly to him and responded with a smile.
Sure enough, just as Master Lance said, since Min Chen dared to use Tchaikovsky's Symphony of Sorrows as the final sound, it is naturally impossible to direct it into a swan song.
After such a sad but hopeful "Sadness" ended, the whole Bai Ai Concert Hall burst into warm applause, and in front of the TV, Qi Mu and Master Lance couldn't help applauding.
Master Lance said with emotion: "It's a pity I didn't go to the concert this year! Xiao Qi, Auston is really a genius. I think in the next 50 years, I'm afraid that And no one dares to adapt "Sorrow"."
Qi Mu also smiled and nodded, he glanced at the man with a cold face on the TV, his eyes were soft: "Master Lance, I also like this "Sadness" very much, sad but not hurt, pain but not despair, really A good song."
When praising an excellent and excellent piece of music, Qi Mu has always come from the bottom of his heart, and will not be biased because the conductor and composer is his lover. Therefore, at this moment, he really likes this adaptation of "Sadness" and is sincerely proud of Min Chen.
After the Berlin New Year's Concert, Qi Mu helped Master Lance to take out the food from the incubator. He slowly poured the red wine into Master Lance's goblet, and the two continued the dinner that had just been interrupted.
At the dining table, Master Lance asked Qi Mu about the events of this Bo Ai concert with concern, and asked Qi Mu if Min Chen had said anything to him beforehand. After Qi Mudu answered them one by one, Master Lance said with emotion: "Auston can always create surprises that make people look forward to it!"
After the two laughed and said a few more words, Master Lance suddenly asked, "By the way, Xiao Qi, did Dorensa tell you when to report to Wei'ai?"
Hearing this, Qi Mu's steak-cutting movement stopped suddenly, and after a long while, he looked up at Mr. Lance with a light smile, and asked, "Master Lance, how do you...how do you know that I have passed today's Wei AI recruitment. What about it? Mr. Dorenza said in an interview that he can't make a decision until the general assembly of the band members agrees."
But I saw the white-haired old man smiled and shook his head: "I've been busy with this delicious dinner in the kitchen this afternoon, and I haven't heard the interview from Dorensa. But Xiao Qi, I believe in your strength, Don't...you didn't pass?"
Facing the old man's kind smile, Qi Mu didn't hide anything about what happened during the day. After hearing that Qi Mu had actually adapted Beethoven's piece, he was surprised and asked Qi Mu to play it again.
After listening to Qi Mu's performance, Master Lance sighed: "Xiao Qi, I once told your teacher that I think you have surpassed me in terms of skills, but you are only slightly inferior in emotional understanding. . But I think, your Beethoven's "D major" third movement has completely surpassed me. Even if your teacher returns to his peak state, I am afraid that he will not be able to play more enthusiastic than this. The third movement."
Such a compliment made Qi Mu immediately shake his head and said, "Master Lance, I just had a momentary inspiration."
Mr. Lance shook his head: "Xiao Qi, inspiration is a kind of talent, talent is also strength. I believe that when Dorensa heard your third movement, he must be very happy, no wonder he was excited to let you After the Wiai New Year's concert is over tomorrow, I will go to the headquarters to report immediately, he is really looking forward to your arrival."
…
With the gift and music album from Master Lance, Qi Mu left the small building with his piano case.
It was night, and a hazy clear moon hung in the sky. There are few people on the streets of Vienna, and almost no one will stay outside on such a New Year's Eve. Even in the always crowded subway, there are three or two people sitting deserted.
When Qi Mu returned to his home, he felt a rare sense of loneliness.
Huaxia was 7 hours faster than Vienna. Zheng Weiqiao and Tan Lao had already said "Happy New Year" to him a few hours ago. And this apartment is so big that people can't help but feel too small and helpless.
After putting his violin in the piano room, Qi Mu didn't leave. Instead, he sat in front of the piano bench and lifted the black piano cover. His fingers gently pressed the beautiful black and white keys. Although the sound did not form a melody, Steinway's pure and superior timbre also made the young man's voice look very beautiful.
When Qi Mu pressed down the 34th tone, his phone suddenly rang.
Qi Mu immediately answered the phone, only to hear a deep magnetic voice over the phone: "Qi Mu..."
