The one-day tour of the Geneva Conservatory of Music ended with a visit led by Professor Deville.
Professor Deville is the vice dean of the violin department of the Geneva Conservatory of Music, and Qi Mu was his student when he was a student at the academy in his previous life. Qi Mu used to think that this was a serious and rigid professor, and he was on top of everything, until... He saw this professor again more than ten years later.
"Oh, I really didn't expect to see you at the Geneva Academy, Xiao Qi, I like your music very much! I went to see Wei Ai's performance in Brussels, it was great! Come, come, let's take a photo together Bar!!"
Although Professor Deville used to teach more than a dozen students alone, so Qi Mu was not very familiar with this professor, but now... When did this professor's painting style become so warm and humorous! ! !
After all, she met her teacher from her school days. Qi Mu smiled and nodded her head in an unnatural tone: "Thank you... cough, thank you for your liking. I think Mr. Dorenza will be very happy to receive such an evaluation from you."
"Oh no no no, it has nothing to do with Wei Ai, I like your piano sound more! It's a really great voice, it's great!"
Qi Mu: "..."
Why is this feeling of being praised by the former "devil teacher" so strange...
Under the leadership of Professor Deville, "outsider" Qi Mu and Mr. Min Chen with sunglasses and masks walked around the entire violin department together, and Professor Deville kept introducing "Oh, this is the violin department. The piano practice room", "this is the place where the students meet", "this is the rehearsal hall"...
Facing these familiar places, Qi Mu had to answer with a smile, "Oh yes", "It's so beautiful here"...
When the round body of the setting sun completely fell below the horizon, Qi Mu stood in front of the majestic black iron school of Geneva College, and saw Professor Deville in front of him saying excitedly: "Xiao Qi, I didn't expect us to be separated so soon. , if you have the opportunity in the future, you can come to our college to see more, there are many students here who like your music very much!"
Thinking of those classmates who "liked their own music very much" just now, Qi Mu couldn't help swallowing, and then nodded with a dry smile: "Okay, thank you for your invitation, I will definitely... ahem, come and see often."
While talking, Professor Deville kept shaking hands with Qi Mu. This professor in his fifties looked very enthusiastic, no less than the crazy fans just now.
When he heard Professor Deville suddenly say, "You and your friends can come and visit often in the future", Qi Mu suddenly realized: "Professor Deville, you… really don't know who he is?" Qi Mu pointed to Mr. Sunglasses and Hat beside him.
Professor Deville was taken aback: "Isn't it your friend, Xiao Qi?"
Taking a deep sigh, Qi Mu smiled helplessly: "He is indeed my friend."
Min Chen: "..."
After this trip to the Geneva Conservatory, Qi Mu watched a man rubbing his hands incessantly for one night, repeating "That guy Deville touched him twice!" The boy also touched it once!!", "There is also a girl who touched it three times!!!".
After Qi Mu also said with lingering fear that "I don't want to step into the Geneva Conservatory any more in a short time", the two of them breathed a sigh of relief like the rest of their lives and started their trip the next day. The two walked past Swan Square, St. Pierre Cathedral, Lake Geneva, and by the time they left Geneva, it was already the morning of the third day.
After the plane landed slowly at Vienna International Airport, Qi Mu and Min Chen put their belongings back in their apartment, and then went to find those familiar places with this man.
When he walked downstairs to the apartment where Qi Mu had lived for nearly ten years in his last life, the handsome and beautiful young man looked at the window that had been lit up again, was silent for a long time, and then said: "When I came to Vienna last year, I was here I stood there for hours. I felt as if the house was close to me, but I couldn't walk back."
Hearing this, Min Chen lowered his eyes and looked at Qi Mu who was beside him, but did not speak.
"But after thinking about it, it doesn't seem to be a big deal. A new life has begun, and it doesn't make any sense to take pictures of the past."
What responded to Qi Mu was the man's clenched hand, and the hot temperature was transmitted along the place where the fingers were touching, causing Qi Mu to curl up the corners of his lips, and clenched the other's hand as well.
On a warm and humid spring night in Vienna, under the splendid purple light of the city, Qi Mu rarely returned to the bridge that had been filled in and sat for the night. The temperature at night was still a little low, but he did not feel cold at all, and the loneliness and loneliness of the past ten years were completely dissipated this night.
He already has a support that he will never be afraid of again, and he will never walk alone in his long life.
The second day after returning to Vienna, Qi Mu and Min Chen cleaned the apartment together. If you don't like to ask hourly workers to disturb your living environment, you must clean up frequently. And this apartment is really too big. After the two people finished cleaning, it was already sunset and night fell.
Sitting in the quiet and huge piano room, Qi Mu lowered his head and pressed the piano keys from time to time, while the nine-foot Steinway made a clear and moving sound, Qi Mu said with a low smile: "Do you still remember when you were there? I asked you once, what do you think I was doing in the piano room?"
Min Chen raised his eyes and recalled: "Is that the time you missed me so much?"
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he simply ignored the other party's answer. Qi Mu coughed lightly and said, "I was actually playing the piano that time. Didn't my family have much money when I was a child, so I didn't learn the piano, but some The basic scales and tunes can definitely still pop up, like that.”
Qi Mu played a short practice scale on this beautiful and elegant piano very casually. His fingering was messy, but he could still hear a coherent melody.
"Playing well." Min Chen gave a pertinent evaluation.
Qi Mu chuckled and said, "Should I say it's a great honor to have Mr. Auston Bertram's approval?"
"No, it was an honor to hear a great violinist play a rare piano piece."
When it comes to love words, Min Chen naturally refuses to give in.
The quiet moonlight shines into the house from the clean and tidy floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Because of the blocking of a thin layer of snow-colored window screens, the hazy moonlight is like flying snow, making the piano room with only one light on is brighter and brighter. .
In such a quiet piano room, an excellent and outstanding violinist is playing a simple piano piece gently under the guidance of an equally excellent pianist.
The melody went from simple and monotonous at the beginning, to more and more complex and diverse, until at the end Qi Mu simply pulled his hand out of the opponent's hand and surrendered: "Okay, I won't play anymore. , You are really whimsical, you want to pull me to play "Islamic"?!"
Min Chen sighed softly: "You heard it."
Qi Mu: "..."
If he couldn't even hear the words "Islam", Professor Deville, who taught him the history of music, would cry! ! !
Qi Mu had long since had no temper with this guy, and it was getting too late, so he got up and left the piano bench, intending to end this piano teaching of "Miaomiao Encouragement". But before he took a step away, he suddenly heard a soothing and pleasant piano sound from behind him.
The extremely gentle music seems to be the goddess of moonlight descending from the sky in a veil, and sprinkles the pure white brilliance into the world. The melody was low and soft, and after two passages, it began to rush slowly. Even if he didn't see it with his own eyes, Qi Mu could fully imagine that the man's fingers must have formed a phantom at this moment, fast on the black and white keys. Press it!
Qi Mu turned his head to look in astonishment.
I saw that behind the black piano, a handsome and elegant man was bowing his head, playing attentively and earnestly.
Chords, arpeggios, octaves, glissandos!
All kinds of gorgeous and gorgeous techniques were easily played between the man's fingers. Qi Mu couldn't help standing behind Min Chen, watching him play this extremely fast presto. Each note ended enthusiastically, and the next note rose quickly and quickly.
From the first soothing to the current enthusiasm, from the current enthusiasm to the next gentleness.
When a familiar and gentle melody flowed out from Min Chen's fingers, Qi Mu's light-colored eyes widened slightly. At this time, he finally understood what this unfamiliar yet familiar tune was!
- "Twilight in the Moonlight".
As far as Qi Mu's ear is concerned, this piece should be divided into four chapters, starting in the key of a major. If it is classified according to the piano concertos written by Min Chen in the past, it should belong to "Piano Concerto No. 2 in A major". ".
But I don't know why, but Qi Mu always felt that this song was a little bit lacking. Generally speaking, without the accompaniment of a band, there is no problem with a piano concerto only being played by the piano, and it can still express the theme of the music, but this "Twilight under the Moonlight" made Qi Mu feel A very important voice is missing.
It's like the Panlong will fly but lack the dragon's eye, and it's like the formation will start without the heart.
Qi Mu frowned in confusion, and after the song ended, he asked curiously, "How do you intend to present this piano concerto? Isn't it playing with the band? I think there seems to be a point Strange thing, you didn't finish it?"
Unexpectedly, Min Chen raised his thin lips calmly and looked up at him when he heard the words: "Do you think... this is a piano concerto?"
"Is not it?!"
Under Qi Mu's astonished gaze, Min Chen calmly said, "This is a violin sonata, a piano and violin ensemble sonata, called—"
"The twilight in the moonlight."
