After a Sarasati "Song of the Wanderer", Prokofiev's "Violin Sonata No. 2 in D major", Brahms' "Raindrop Sonata" and Paganini's "Sonata" Sonata No. 12.
After the last piece of music on the invitation really came to an end, a thunderous roar sounded in the audience, and everyone applauded enthusiastically and dedicated their most sincere compliments to the two on the stage. a great musician.
Whether it's "D Major" that combines sharpness and tranquility, or the sad and sad "Raindrop Sonata", or even the last extremely difficult "No. 12", Qi Mu and Min Chen are extremely tacit. With the harmonious and harmonious performance, these tunes are performed perfectly, making people impeccable!
Especially the last Paganini's "No. 12", the clear and clear sound of the violin reverberated for a long time in the quiet and broad concert hall, accompanied by the soft response of the piano, such a beautiful and moving music like the spring breeze. Gentle and genial, while giving the audience a listening enjoyment, it also filled their hearts with a touch of sadness and melancholy.
You can't imagine that you can see these two world's top virtuoso masters playing the same piece on the same stage; before that, you probably never thought that when the two people's piano sounds were mixed together, The rich and hot feelings hidden behind the voice can almost make all the audience feel the same!
Whether it is a fierce note or a gentle melody, these two musicians can always touch the heartstrings in the most exciting places, so that the softness of the violin and the toughness of the piano are combined without any abruptness or incongruity, just like the flow of water. Together, become some kind of new voice!
How can such a concert not make people excited
Therefore, when the audience applauded for a full three minutes, Qi Mu and Min Chen walked onto the stage from behind the backstage curtain together holding hands. They bowed deeply together and thanked the audience for their retention.
After the applause subsided a little, the staff quickly ran up from the side of the stage, handed each of them a microphone, and then left quickly.
Holding the black microphone in his left hand, Qi Mu raised his eyes and looked at the audience with nearly a thousand people in the audience. He didn't know what to say for a while.
This performance hall is the smaller of the two performance halls in the Pleyel Concert Hall, one large and one small, but its small size only corresponds to the seats of nearly 2,000 people in the large performance hall. At this moment, its auditorium It also accommodated nearly a thousand people.
Beside Qi Mu, the stern and elegant man saw the young man's hesitant appearance, he raised his lips calmly, and said first: "Thank you for the applause of the audience, thank you for coming to this concert, thank you After listening to the show."
Fluent German flowed out of the man's mouth. After hearing Min Chen speak, Qi Mu also nodded with a smile: "This time we only prepared an encore, and we hope to satisfy all the audience. It's a really good piece, and we all like it very, very much."
Hearing this, Min Chen smiled and hooked his lips, sneakily raised his middle finger, and drew lightly to the applause of the youth. Their tiny movements were hidden in their holding hands, and no one noticed, but Qi Mu couldn't help but reddened his ears and pulled his hands out of Min Chen's.
Min Chen: "..."
In the audience, Qi Mu directly gave the microphone to the staff who ran over, and walked directly to his position without paying any attention to the man. Although the audience off the stage was a little confused, at this moment, their attention was all attracted by the song "We all like it very much" in Qi Mu's mouth.
On the invitation letter, the name of Encore was not printed. This has always been a program similar to "Easter Eggs" in every concert, maintaining its mystery. So... what kind of song is it that can get an evaluation like "very, very like"? !
On the stage, when the young man shook off his hand, Min Chen just raised his eyes calmly and calmly, without showing any abnormality. He walked straight to the piano bench and sat down, put his hands on the Steinway nine-foot grand piano, tried the tone again, and then turned to look at the young man beside him.
When the performance was approaching, Qi Mu had already lost his "little temper", and he solemnly turned his head and looked at Min Chen. Then, in the doubts of the entire audience (including Professor Akkad and others), suddenly, a cheerful and enthusiastic piano sound suddenly sounded!
The sound of the qin seemed to be galloping from the nine heavens, and the two consecutive glissandos were dazzling and dazzling, suddenly grabbing everyone's attention, and people couldn't help but fall into that jubilant atmosphere.
When the piano played for about two bars, its sound did not diminish in the slightest, but at the same time, the sound of the violin burst in!
Generally speaking, most of the music will be divided into some main and subordinate. Even for quintets and ensembles, a single instrument will be the main instrument, and other instruments will be supplemented. When the main instrument is playing, the other instruments will tacitly reduce the volume, highlighting the existence of the main instrument and the main melody.
But what is surprising is that in this mighty sound of the piano and the violin, the two actually played in unison! No one deliberately lowered the volume, and no one deliberately softened the melody, just sang so fiercely and proudly, rendering a scene of hilarity and joy.
However, no one dares to say that there is nothing wrong with such an ensemble!
Even Mr. Faller, who is a master composer, was surprised to hear such a melody, and then his expression became more and more excited and his eyes became more and more hot: he had never heard such a song in which the violin and the piano compete! The soft and unyielding violin and the galloping gallop of the piano have achieved a mysterious balance at this moment!
This is undoubtedly a very good piece of music, this is definitely a piece of music that can amaze the world, the name of this piece is...
Master Faller was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly realized: this is actually a new song that has never been released before!
Thinking of this, Mr. Faller quickly looked up at the monitor on the side of the stage. At this moment, countless music masters and music critics all turned their attention to the display board.
I saw that there was a line of clear big characters flashing on it at the moment - "Violin Sonata in A Major"/"nlight".
Just when everyone was wondering what "Twilight under the Moonlight" was, they saw the second line of subtitles, which just rolled up - performers: Qi Mu, Min Chen.
Well, on the performance list this time, it is probably to express the love of a certain man. The name "Qi Mu" has always been placed before "Min Chen", and all the audience are used to it. But this time, suddenly! The words on the third line also rolled up—
Composers: Min Chen, Qi Mu.
...wait...wait a minute! ! !
What is "Min Chen, Qi Mu"? !
Could this song even be composed by Qi Mu? !
It turns out that Qi Mu is also a great composer! ! !
This answer was obviously beyond everyone's expectations, but they didn't have time to think for a while. The sudden sound of music in the concert hall made them completely forget their guesses, and continued to listen to this wonderful and beautiful music seriously and attentively. Come.
The light and melodious sound of the violin rang out, as if it were a pleasant play. The melody is sometimes high and sometimes low, the only constant is the joyful and lively elements in the sound of the piano, which makes people feel happy.
Similar to the chords on the piano with a fast rhythm, in the man's slender fingers, no matter how difficult the octave is, they can be played extremely lightly, as easy and casual as fingering.
After the relaxed and cheerful first movement is over, the second movement is fast and enthusiastic. When the piano was played fiercely and high, the admiration contained in the music made the audience suddenly wake up, and instantly understood what "twilight under the moonlight" is.
If the sound of the piano is moonlight, then the sound of the violin is twilight.
These two beautiful things that shouldn't exist at the same time are perfectly coexisting at this moment! In the first movement, they were frolicking and having fun with each other, and in it, they seemed to have a hot and hot love, singing beautiful love with music.
When the time comes, although the rhythm is still bright and lively and the melody is still soft and gentle, the sadness hidden under the music has gradually revealed.
This pair of lovers will inevitably face a separation of life and death. No matter how much they know each other and love each other, they will not be able to resist the coming, death-like storm from the outside world!
But contrary to the expectations of all musicians and music critics, the "sad and desolate fourth movement" they estimated did not appear! In the ensemble of the fourth movement, the sound of the violin suddenly returned to the highness of the first movement, and the piano still responded enthusiastically!
They don't seem to know the grief they are about to face at all, and they just respond to their lover's call with a more enthusiastic piano sound!
This kind of piano sound like "the joy before death"... is more painful than sadness!
Until the violin let out a low final whimper, the piano was still playing the cheerful music in a daze. When it gradually discovered the violin's disappearance, the sound slowly turned into a kind of tension, then a kind of urgency, and finally... only sadness remained.
The whole song is drowned in the low voice of the piano.
When the piano sound came to an abrupt end, the stage was dead silent, and no one spoke.
Not to mention these audiences, even Master Farrer, Mr. Lance, Kedoori, and even Professors Daniel and Akkad have never heard of this song "Twilight in the Moonlight"!
They never knew when the two of them had composed such a beautiful and sad piece of music. Her grief was never the superficial pain, but the dark cloud hidden behind the joy. This kind of feeling is even more moving, and some people even have wet eyes and choked throats!
The dull and depressed mood settled in the auditorium for a long time, until Mr. Faller, who is also the world's top composer and conductor, suddenly stood up and shouted "bravo" with enthusiastic applause, the whole concert hall seemed to be Someone suddenly pressed the start button, and thunderous applause sounded all of a sudden, for a long time!
By this time, Min Chen had already got up from the piano bench. He embraced his youth without hesitation, and deepened the embrace tightly amid the long and warm applause. Qi Mu, on the other hand, let the other party play his temper suddenly, dumbfounded, and even used his right hand holding the violin bow to gently hug the other party back.
Seeing this situation, there was a burst of warmer applause from the direction of the Geneva Conservatory of Music! Among the dozen or so bright-eyed girls, Sisi also applauded excitedly, sending his blessings and praise to these two outstanding musicians!
February 14, 2018, was a Valentine's Day that Sisi will never forget.
She heard such a wonderful concert with her own ears and witnessed such a warm and romantic scene with her own eyes.
And she has a hunch that maybe from tomorrow, there will be a wonderful piece of music in the global classical music world.
She's called "The twilight in the moonlight".
She is called "Twilight in the Moonlight".
