The full name of "Zigan" is "Zigan Rhapsody", which is the work of the famous French composer Maurice Ravel. The famous pianist of the last century has written many musical works in his life, most of which are piano works, and "Zigang" is one of the rare violin concertos.
The first half of this piece is dominated by slow beats that slowly disperse, and the second half is dominated by Fulisca's allegro. The front and back half form a sharp contrast, expressing a kind of Acura and praise incisively and vividly.
When Qi Mu indicated to Mr. Tan that he planned to play this song, Mr. Tan thought for a while, and finally agreed.
This piece has Paganini's violin playing skills, which is quite difficult, but also has the enthusiasm of gypsy music. It is a good piece for solo performance in chamber music.
Old Tan's only worry is: "Are you sure... you can play well tomorrow?"
According to Mr. Tan's understanding of Qi Mu, in his impression, Qi Mu has never touched Ravel's music, and he is still very worried about the chamber concert tomorrow. If it's just for better performance, maybe it would be better to choose Paganini's music.
After thinking about it, Tan Lao said again: "Otherwise, you can choose Paganini's 13 lessons. You are still familiar with Paganini, so I can rest assured." The old man's thinking is always based on safety. , don't ask for how brilliant and stunning the performance, as long as it is safe.
Paganini's Op1.No13 is the 13th of the 24 Rhapsody, which has a loud alias - "The Devil's Laughter". Paganini's songs are always distinguished by difficult skills, and it is good enough to perform well in this song.
But Qi Mu shook his head and replied with a smile: "Old Tan, it's a bit too much to play "The Devil's Laughter" in such an indoor concert, and I'm not the finale, I think "Zigang" is already very good. All right. Don't worry, I'm very familiar with this piece and I won't have any problems."
The finale of the concert was Du Sheng and several friends who were in the same industry. They formed a small group of four, and they would perform a few pieces at the end, which was the most anticipated performance of the whole concert.
Tan Lao was still a little hesitant, but after Qi Mu said several times to comfort him, he agreed.
The original owner may not be very familiar with "Zigang", but for Qi Mu, he has played this song many times. When Qi Mu started to learn the piano at a piano shop, the last song to be used as a graduation song was "Zigang". At that time, Qi Mu's performance skills were not proficient enough. It could only be said that the performance was finished, but it could not be said that the performance was good.
After going to the academy later, Qi Mu gradually became familiar with this piece. When he was applying for a performance at the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, he also had this piece in his repertoire. Although there is almost no solo performance after that, this piece is still one of his best.
After Mr. Tan agreed, he officially listened to Qi Muxian's performance. He nodded in appreciation, but could hardly say anything that could be pointed. The two exchanged again, and Mr. Tan seemed to remember something.
"By the way, in addition to some industry insiders from City B, Professor Carr, who was the judge of the violin competition last time, will also be there. You have to prepare well."
The image of a foreigner with a beard and a big belly suddenly appeared in Qi Mu's mind, he nodded helplessly, and he knew it. Soon the lunch break was over, and all the orchestra members resumed their training. Du Sheng led the orchestra to rehearse again and again, and Mr. Tan left the orchestra to go out first.
Just walking out of the gate of the B City Symphony Orchestra, Mr. Tan suddenly remembered something: "Oh, yes, it seems that Du Sheng also sent a few invitations to Daniel of Bai Ai?" After thinking about it, Mr. Tan still didn't After deliberately turning around and telling Qi Mu about this, the old man smiled and shook his head: "Maybe they all go back to Berlin." As soon as he finished speaking, the old man got into the car.
In the rehearsal hall of the B City Symphony Orchestra, Qi Mu was sitting in Du Sheng's seat as the assistant principal and began to lead the orchestra to perform.
Back to Berlin
Mr. Tan, you still think too much!
--------
In City B in November, the cold wind from Siberia swept the entire city, the temperature dropped sharply, and many people put on thick coats.
But tonight, many beautiful ladies wore thin long skirts that were slender and slender. They were not afraid of the cold. They got out of the warm car and walked the red carpet into the concert hall. As far as the naked eye can see, on their exposed skin, the erect hairs fell back quickly when they came into contact with the warm indoor heating. It was really beautiful and frozen.
This kind of small indoor concert usually does not have too many people, and similarly, only a few dozen people received invitations tonight. Although the invitation list is very small, the guests present are not well-known music masters in the industry, or well-known professors from a certain academy, and the worst is the editor-in-chief of national music magazines and newspapers, such as Zheng Weiqiao, who are all " through the back door" was invited.
The stage is arranged in the center of the audience. It is a small circular stage with soft sofa seats at any angle. These seats surround the stage in the form of a ring. After the audience has communicated with each other, they take their seats one by one and prepare to listen to this special concert.
Qi Mu sat in the second row of seats due east.
Different from symphony concerts, the performers of chamber concerts will sit under the stage and listen to other people's performances when they are not performing by themselves. So Qi Mu sat beside Tan Lao and Du Sheng and listened carefully to other people's performances. The performers are all well-known classical music masters in China, and the first performer is a cellist.
The melodious and peaceful music sounded slowly throughout the concert hall, and everyone listened with a smile and felt the mellow and profound sound brought by the cello.
Under the dazzling lights, the musicians on the stage were playing slowly. Under the stage, the handsome and beautiful young man also closed his eyes slightly and listened attentively. Perhaps he heard something wonderful. He couldn't help but smiled and applauded quietly in his heart.
Young and handsome youth, this is the most eye-catching presence in the audience. Especially with the existence of two elderly uncles and grandfathers by his side, it makes people unable to bear to take a few more glances, which is regarded as "washing the eyes".
-In fact, Mr. Tan is also a rather dignified old man, and Mr. Du Sheng is also a more handsome and handsome uncle.
But compared with Xiao Qi, they are really a bit... not so attractive
At the end of the song, everyone in the audience applauded in praise, and then the next person came on stage to perform. I don't know what happened. The next person waited for a long time before he came on stage. He was holding a black pipe, and the song was also melodious.
Seeing this, Mr. Tan raised his eyebrows in surprise, and said to Du Sheng, who was beside him, "I remember the second one was a violin, right? Du Sheng, go and see what happened."
Du Sheng nodded when he heard the words, and then quietly got up and walked towards the preparation room.
Because everyone was sitting together, Du Sheng's actions were quickly discovered by others, especially... He was sitting next to Qi Mu, which attracted a lot of attention.
In the audience, the most interesting thing was the two positions.
One is the direction of Qi Mu. There are still a lot of people who know Qi Mu, even if they don't know him, the handsome and good-looking young people always make people can't help but look good and want to see more.
The other is the due west seat opposite Qi Mu - there are two vacant seats there.
Such concerts are naturally important figures in the music industry, but there are still people who are late or absent? This is really surprising.
Qi Mu also looked at the two vacant seats for a long time, then came close to Mr. Tan's ear and asked in a low voice, "Elder Tan, I don't know what those two seats are..."
Tan Zhenghui raised his head and crossed the stage to look at the two seats. The old man frowned and thought for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "Du Sheng arranged the seat, I don't know exactly. It's probably someone from a certain music magazine, they often go around looking for news interviews. It's normal not to come."
Qi Mu nodded slightly, in response.
He looked around to the position, the two empty seats were very conspicuous in the auditorium, but he only looked at it for a while, then looked away, and continued to listen carefully to the performance on the stage.
perhaps…
It's really just someone from two music magazines.
