Chapter 23

Views:

High-wattage spotlights shine from the top of the concert hall, illuminating the small circular stage. The handsome and tall young man walked towards the stage step by step with a light yellow spruce violin in his hand. All absolutely stunning.

And her master made the audience couldn't help but take a few more glances.

The appearance of the young man is very handsome, even if it is not the best they have ever seen in their life, but it is definitely not bad even if it is placed in the entertainment circle of beautiful people.

In fact, many people on the field have already known Qi Mu, especially the editors-in-chief of some magazines and newspapers. They have often reported some news about the B City Symphony Orchestra in the past two months, and they will report about this young man from time to time. information.

Wang Zheng, the editor-in-chief of "Hall of Music", thought about it. It seems that the last time he saw his subordinates write news about this young man, it seems like... He became the assistant principal of the B City Symphony Orchestra? !

That's right, at only twenty years old, this young man is already the assistant principal of the B City Symphony Orchestra!

Qi Mu walked very gracefully. He seemed to be walking slowly, but in fact he was quite fast, and he reached the center of the stage in no time. Such small concerts do not need an introduction by the host, and generally speaking, the performers don't say much, just perform.

Qi Mu bent down slightly and bowed politely. He raised his body and looked around the audience. Just when he was about to raise the bow and start playing, a familiar figure suddenly entered his line of sight, causing Qi Mu to be stunned.

A pair of deep, dark eyes were also staring at him at the moment.

This familiar feeling reminded Qi Mu involuntarily that during the band's last tour last month, the owner of these eyes was sitting on the left side of the third row. He raised his head and just looked at each other.

At that time, Qi Mu subconsciously thought that the other party was not looking at him, and today...

Must be looking at him.

Standing alone on the stage, Qi Mu suddenly felt amused, and couldn't help but hook her lips. The next moment, without thinking about it, he raised the bow in his hand, placed it lightly on the strings, and pressed his left hand on the strings. Suddenly, the melodious and euphemistic sound of the piano came from the hole. came out.

That voice was like the warmest wind in spring, with the sweet voice of the violin, making everyone smile and listen carefully. Many people also seemed to suddenly remember something and quickly took out their repertoire and looked at it. In the end, they all stared at the small print that said "The repertoire of the performance is subject to the performance of the day" and laughed without saying a word.

This one is not "Izgan Rhapsody".

It is Mendelssohn's Concerto in E minor.

The popularity of this piece can be said to be heard by many people who do not learn classical music. Mendelssohn was born in the early 19th century. He grew up in a wealthy family. His father was a well-known banker and his mother was a famous pianist. This German composer who grew up with a golden spoon in his life wrote many piano pieces and violin concertos. From There has never been a sad tune.

Taking the most famous masterpiece "E Minor" as an example, Mendelssohn used three movements to describe a wonderful scene of tenderness and softness. The whole piece is cheerful and lively. There are many violinists who play this piece every year, and Du Sheng is one of them. The best among them.

But everyone clearly understands that Du Sheng's "E Minor" is absolutely different from this young man's!

The first movement is an allegro, and the most famous cadenza is usually performed by a violin solo. The "E Minor" played by Du Sheng is a kind of broad and atmospheric joy. To put it in layman's terms, it seems to be a big family gathering together and having a good time.

But the "E Minor" played by Qi Mu has a liveliness of wandering among the mountains and rivers. Every pull of the bow will bring a burst of collision between the stream and the spring stone, which is crisp and pleasant, bright and pleasant.

On the stage, the young man turned his head slightly and played seriously. One by one, dancing notes flowed from under his bow, throwing all the listeners into a musical feast.

When Sheng Yanhui and other performers played before, although Daniel felt that the level was very good, he was not so amazing that he couldn't think of other things. But at this time, only that tune echoed in his mind, and the familiar melody kept hitting and echoing in his brain.

Daniel couldn't help comparing Qi Mu's "E Minor" with Du Sheng's, and he came to the conclusion that each has its own merits and is not far behind!

When the transition of the second movement took place, Daniel racked his brains to recall the "E Minor" solo he had heard before. He finally remembered the splendid performance of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, the short black fat man, for some reason. , He actually felt that this young man's performance was not at all behind that person!

"What a hell..."

As soon as Daniel's voice fell, the elegant and gentle Andante sounded slowly over there. This second movement is not as representative as the first movement, and Daniel couldn't help thinking in his heart: Who said Huaxia was a rising star in symphony? He has only been here for a few days, how many outstanding young people have he seen? !

These are talents! ! !

The ace manager of a certain band began to secretly scrutinize the young people on the stage.

Well, it looks really good, it's really good...

At this time, Qi Mu had no idea that he was being watched by many people. The difficulty of playing "E Minor" is not very high in violin music, but it is not easy to play it well. Technique is only one component of a piece, never the whole.

There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people, and everyone has their own "E minor".

Du Sheng grew up in a privileged family, and his "E Minor" always carries a harmonious and joyful atmosphere. For Qi Mu, his "E Minor" is more of a joyful pursuit of life. He wanders alone in every corner of the world, seeing clouds and mountains. With all these, he has already is the greatest happiness.

Until the end of the song, there were still many people who were stunned in their seats without coming back to their senses.

First, a loud applause suddenly came from the position of the backstage, and then, it ignited like a roaring applause fire. The performance that he paid too much attention to caused a thin layer of sweat on Qi Mu's forehead. He bowed and hurriedly planned to leave, but the applause seemed to never stop. Even though he had turned and left a few steps, it was still there. kept ringing.

Qi Mu took a dozen steps, but finally turned around with a smile and returned to the stage.

In classical music, there is a proper noun "encore", which comes from French and means "encore" when transliterated to Huaxia. In many concerts, when the applause in the audience does not stop for a long time, the performers will take the stage again to perform the encore.

And this time, it is the first time that this concert has been in the state of encore!

After Qi Mu took the stage, he bent down again and bowed 90 degrees seriously.

The applause suddenly stopped.

After expressing his gratitude with a smile, he took up the bow again and began to play his second piece. This time, he did not perform other songs in a different way, but directly performed the "Zigang" that he was about to perform.

Ravel drew inspiration from Paganini's 24 Rhapsody when he composed this piece, so the difficulty of playing "Zigan" is already very high. I saw that under the dazzling spotlight on the stage, the young man's slender and beautiful fingers seemed to have life and were dancing rapidly.

As I said before, Qi Mu really has a pair of very beautiful hands.

Although how a person's hands look has nothing to do with his accomplishments in classical music, you can see that the black and fat principal of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra has a pair of fat hands, but he can also perform wonderful performances.

However, when you look good, you can finally enjoy your ears and your eyes, right

Especially when playing the second half of the piece, the enthusiastic music made the audience seem to have received a baptism of sound, and some people even couldn't help but tap the rhythm lightly with their fingers on the chair to perform together with Qi Mu's piano sound. "Play".

At the end of the music, it was a gorgeous and dazzling performance. The fingers like white jade danced quickly on the strings. Everyone's eyesight could hardly keep up with the afterimage of the fingers, and the atmosphere of the audience was heated up. At the climax, when the last warm sound of the piano was suddenly annihilated, it was the thunderous applause that did not stop.

Qi Mu's sweat had already wet the broken hair on his forehead.

The solo of "E Minor Concerto" lasted for more than ten minutes, and "Zigan Rhapsody" was also nearly ten minutes long. The latter also had a lot of dazzling parts, so even Qi Mu felt a little trembling in the fingers of his left hand. Numbness - After all, the original owner has not touched the piano for many years, I am afraid that only those who have undergone more than one year of training can play these two pieces in a row.

But the applause just didn't stop.

Qi Mu reluctantly evoked a wry smile. This smile was seen in the eyes of some ladies in the audience, but they couldn't help but applaud more forcefully.

Qi Mu: "..." He really didn't have the strength to make another song!

"Bravo!"

Just when Qi Mu was hesitating and helpless, a magnetic and low male voice suddenly sounded, which seemed a bit abrupt in the unified applause. Qi Mu raised his head in surprise and looked in that direction, only to see a tall and stern man standing up, looking at him calmly, and clapping his hands.

He didn't smile, but his deep eyes were always focused on Qi Mu's body. Those eyes were so penetrating that Qi Mu couldn't help but looked away, and didn't look at each other again.

... Now that Min Chen has stood up, of course others can't do it either.

Rarely will anyone shout "Bravo" at such a small chamber concert, especially in the face of a solo solo. But since Min Chen shouted out, other people can't say anything, can they? You can only stand up with this guy who played cards out of order and applaud in unison.

Min Chen's interruption interrupted the "Encore applause" that was originally condensed in the audience, and Qi Mu finally got the opportunity to take the opportunity to exit. Qi Mu's footsteps from leaving the stage and walking towards the backstage were almost fast. God knows that he really doesn't have the strength to play a song that is more difficult than "Zigang".

This is not the performance of the orchestra, each band is only responsible for a part of it, and can get rest and adjustment time. It's his solo, so... it's absolutely impossible to go wrong.

What Qi Mu didn't know was that behind him, a handsome and tall man silently watched his back as if fleeing for a long time, and never sat down. He didn't sit down... Many people didn't feel too embarrassed to sit down. The atmosphere was such that everyone in the audience stood in a daze, and no one sat down first.

Daniel was the first to notice that the atmosphere wasn't right.

He quickly stretched out his hand and dragged the guy who "only makes trouble" down, and said in a low voice, "Min, what kind of medicine did you take today? I want to hear more songs from that little angel. , how did you get people away?"

"Little angel?" Min Chen raised his eyebrows suddenly.

Daniel nodded as a matter of course: "Yeah, what's not an angel? It's hard to find a Chinese with such a sign, and his level is quite good. The last candidate like this was Lu Ziwen, he... eh , you think I didn't say anything!"

The smile in Min Chen's eyes was quickly restrained, and after a long silence, he shook his head gently and opened the topic: "Qi Mu's left hand is shaking a little, he needs to rest." His tone seemed calm, but he was unconsciously low. several times.

Daniel scolded himself for a long time in his heart. He looked at Min Chen's face and asked cautiously, "Min, how do you know that this little angel needs a rest? I think he is still in good shape. Even if it doesn't work, he You can also play a gentler piece to calm the encore."

Unexpectedly, Min Chen shook his head, a strange light flashed in his dark and distant eyes.

"He's not going to choose something bland, he's supposed to... choose something more intense, like Paganini's D major."

Daniel was taken aback: "How do you know?"

Hearing this, Min Chen turned his head slightly and glanced at him lightly, and said, "Intuition."

"… "

The author has something to say:

Today's topic: What is a cadenza

Everyone can simply understand the Chinese color as SOLO, that is, the band suspends the performance, and a certain person completes the performance of a certain piece of music and singing alone. There is a very, very, very famous cadenza in "E Minor", that's right, it's the first sentence at the beginning~~(≧▽≦)/~ La la la, you can listen to it!

After the Blue Queen, Fuwa really likes "E Minor". After all, it is a song that Fuwa is most familiar with. Its colorful part made Fuwa suffer a lot back then. QAQ
