Guarneri del Jessu is the world's best violin maker after Stradivari.
The life of this master violin maker is not long, only 46 years, but in these 46 precious years, he has made 135 violins and one cello, each of which has its own unique name , and is world-renowned.
The most famous of them is probably the "cannon". The name of this "cannon", along with its owner, Paganini, has already become a myth in the hearts of violinists around the world. Any violinist regards "being able to play music with that violin" as the most proud thing in his life. matter.
Of course, this does not mean that the tone and quality of the "Cannon" must be the best in the world. Every Guarneri violin has a strong strength and wild tension, and the tone is mellow and extensive, as if the world's wildest violin Horses are difficult for ordinary people to control.
At this moment, Qi Mu was holding such a heavy key, not knowing how to choose—
This meeting ceremony was too expensive, which made him a little embarrassed.
Every Guarneri violin can be auctioned for a sky-high price, and even millions or tens of millions of euros have been auctioned. There are only 135 pianos in this series. In the past, Qi Mu only had some understanding of the more famous "Cannon" and "Jessie", but now... When Min Chen mentioned "Ke Dong", he only started from his own. In my memory, I recalled the violin I once saw in the museum.
According to Min Chen, the violin had been kept by the Bertram family forty years ago, and was given to his mother by his father as a betrothal gift before he was born, and then it was indeed lent to the museum. Exhibited. And now, since his mother gave Qi Mu the key to the qin, the qin belongs to Qi Mu.
For this matter, Min Chen even showed more enthusiasm than Qi Mu. On the third day after Liz left, he asked someone to take out the heavy box in the Swiss bank and deliver it directly to Qi Mu. , just waiting for him to unpack.
Since it was already this time, Qi Mu had to carefully take out the bronze-colored key from the safe at home, then moved the box into the piano room, and placed it directly on the black top of the grand piano. up, and finally looked at the dark keyhole solemnly and earnestly.
Qi Mu took a deep breath, then let it out slowly, and then... gently inserted the key into the small key hole. With a crisp sound of the lock and key opening and closing, Qi Mu solemnly opened the lid of the box, and then gently took out the dark black piano case.
When "Kedong" appeared in the air, it seemed that even time froze for a moment. The bold and uninhibited streamlined structure, the narrow and smooth body, and the most characteristic vertical stripes on both sides of the fingerboard, the broad body seems to imply what will happen when the air reverberates in the body. Thick and powerful sound!
At the first sight of him, Qi Mu knew that "Ke Dong" is a completely different violin from "Edith"! If the former is a wild and uninhibited warrior with a rough and arrogant voice, then the latter is a gentle princess on the high mountain, with a high and sharp harp.
The young man's fair and slender fingers rubbed gently on the strings of "Ke Dong", and the bright moonlight was reflected on the metal strings. He seemed to be ready to perform on stage. , once again show the world your brilliance!
Facing such a strong and healthy violin, Qi Mu had absolutely no way to resist. He immediately tuned it, put rosin on it, and played "Devil's Trill" directly in the piano room!
The majestic and majestic timbre reverberated in the quiet piano room, and when the song ended, the aftertaste curled and still reverberated.
Qi Mu already knows which song is more suitable for "Kedong" and "Edith", and also knows how to use them best in the future.
But at this moment, Qi Mu did not expect that in the next few decades, it was these two excellent violins, the "Edith" of the Si-style violin and the "Kedong" of the Gua's violin, who would accompany him through his life. The long and bright years, together with the name "Qi Mu", have become the myth of an era!
After receiving this violin, Qi Mu asked Min Chen to bring his most lofty thanks to Mrs. Analia Bertram.
In this regard, Min Chen agreed in a low voice, but when Christmas Eve came, the two couples who had traveled around Australia and finally returned home appeared, without even needing Min Chen to speak. The beautiful and elegant lady who was somewhat similar to Min Chen hugged her son and said with a smile, "Min Chen, how about the dowry gift your mother gave your daughter-in-law? He must like it very much!"
The handsome and noble man was looking down at the newspaper when he was suddenly hugged so violently, he broke free from his mother's warm embrace without changing his face, and then said calmly, "A dowry?"
Anna smiled and said: "Yes, that 'Kedong' is a very good violin, isn't your daughter-in-law a violinist? Anyway, your violin level is just like that, give this 'Kedong' to Your daughter-in-law is ready."
Hearing this, Min Chen solemnly put down the newspaper in his hand, raised his head and asked, "Is this the betrothal gift?"
Anna was taken aback: "Isn't this a dowry?" It couldn't possibly be a dowry...
"not enough."
"Eh?!"
"I remember that the family also kept a copy of Mozart's own violin concerto and a Haydn's symphony. If I remember more clearly, it seems that some of Mr. Karajan's out-of-print records are also well played. In the warehouse, haven't they been taken out? Oh yes, and a few records of Menuhin, and…”
Bertram: "… "
After talking for a full five minutes, Min Chen hesitated for a while and decided to temporarily end the topic. Then he looked up at the Bertram couple, who had been completely stunned, and smiled and hooked his lips: "Aren't these... shouldn't they all be dowry?"
Bertram: "… "
You are going to evacuate the whole house! ! ! ! ! !
Well, when you have a daughter-in-law, you forget your mother! !
Time flies, when 2018 is approaching, at noon on the 30th, Qi Mu is going to take Professor Akkad and Mr. Lance who came to Vienna to go to Berlin to listen to the live New Year's concert by Boai. . But he had just picked up Mr. Lance to the Friends of Music building when he received a call.
The girl on the other side of the phone said, "Sister-in-law! I heard brother Auston say that you are coming to Berlin to listen to the live New Year's concert this year! Vienna and Berlin are so far apart, you were in a hurry to go back that night. So I'm here to pick you up! Hey sister-in-law, why don't you talk?"
Qi Mu: "..."
Take your "sister-in-law" back and I'll talk to you!
After being depressed for a long time, Qi Mu sighed and said, "Liz, don't worry about it, I will drive the teacher and Master Lance together tonight. The three of us go together, it is very convenient and not in a hurry. ."
Specifically for this girl to pick him up from Berlin and Vienna? This is too exaggerated. He is almost the same as driving by himself. Why bother Liz to drive so enthusiastically
Unexpectedly, after listening to Qi Mu's words, the girl strongly refused: "No, sister-in-law, I've already come to Vienna! Wait a minute, I'm almost at the building of the Friends of Music Association, look up, I I'll come to you right now!"
When he heard the word "head up", Qi Mu's heart already had a bad premonition. And when he heard the buzzing sound from above his head, Qi Mu subconsciously looked up, and his eyes froze when he touched the girl who kept waving at him.
Qi Mu: "..."
Is there such a thing as showing off wealth? ! ! !
Although Liz's behavior made Qi Mu feel completely shocked, but as she said, it really saved a lot of time by helicopter to go back and forth between Berlin and Vienna, Qi Mu even felt that she had just boarded Helicopter, arrived in Berlin in the blink of an eye.
In any case, this time Qi Mu has fulfilled the promise he made to Master Lance a year ago: take him and his teacher to the Berlin Philharmonic Concert Hall and listen to a live Bai Ai New Year's concert.
After the concert ended, because Qi Mu was in a hurry to catch Wei Ai's New Year's concert the next day, they left without waiting for Min Chen's interview to end. When their group was about to arrive in Vienna by helicopter, Qi Mu suddenly received a text message.
Min Chen: […You don’t wait for me.]
Although there are only four short words, the strong resentment is directly revealed.
Qi Mu didn't even have to think about it, he could guess what kind of depressed expression the man was looking at right now, and it was estimated that he was still holding on to his calm appearance, and by the way, he "sorrowed" Daniel well. After all, how does that say come about
It's all Daniel's fault.
Qi Mu: [I was too late, so I came back first. It was a great show tonight and I saw a lot of people in the audience clapping and clapping with excitement. The teacher also praised you, saying that your style is becoming more and more tense, but not lacking in restraint. ] There was a moment of silence on the phone, and then Min Chen sent another text message: [Even if you praise me, I will be angry.]Qi Mu: "..."
Who wants you to calm down! ! !
After being speechless for a moment, Qi Mu simply changed the subject: [By the way, when Liz came to pick me up today, I suddenly realized... It turns out that the surname "Bertlem" is so important. But compared to Liz, you are really poor, Min Chen...]While typing, Qi Mu couldn't help chuckling softly. He could guess that when the man saw this text message, his face must have darkened, and then he quickly replied to him...
Hey, the text message came so quickly? !
Min Chen: […I am frugal.]
Qi Mu: "..."
So you are thrifty on Continental? ! ! ! !
