In the spacious and empty Bai Ai first rehearsal hall, hundreds of Bai Ai members are sitting in the auditorium at the moment, listening to the smooth and rapid sound of the piano.
The sound of the piano was intense and short, and almost a dozen tones flashed through every second. Even the members of the Berlin Philharmonic, only a dozen or so people could respond to the level of each note in an instant, with the sound of the piano. Write the next chapter in your heart.
This is Novachik's "Infinite Motion".
Before Qi Mu, the first piece of music that every applicant who came to the stage to perform was "Infinite Movement". This is already a dead old rule. Bai Ai's first round of performances must be "Infinite Movement" to test the candidates' skills, emotions and finger flexibility.
When Kodori applied to be the deputy chief of Bo Ai, although he was already confirmed as the new deputy chief in private, he still played a song for 3 minutes and 34 seconds in front of all Bo Ai members. "Infinite Motion".
But now, looking at the young man's fast-moving fingers and elegantly bouncing bows on the stage, many members of the violin group have secretly wondered in their hearts: Could it be that... can it surpass Kedori's record? !
If the members of Bai Ai knew that Qi Mu had surpassed Kedori's record as early as two years ago, they would probably fall to the ground in fright.
Not paying attention to the surprised or approving expressions of everyone in the audience, the handsome young man frowned slightly. He raised his eyes and looked at the position of his left hand, watching his fingers press and play little by little, and his right hand. It is accurate bowing and jumping.
The difficulty of "Infinite Movement" has long been unspoken, and Qi Mu's achievement of surpassing Kedori had already been achieved as early as two years ago. But now, what he wants to know more is what kind of ability he has now.
The fast and rapid sound of the piano reverberated in the quiet rehearsal hall. Under the stage, Mr. Char, the second conductor of Bo Ai, also watched Qi Mu play with great interest. As for the chief conductor sitting beside him, he quietly raised the corners of his lips, already having an answer in his heart.
The super absolute pitch allows Min Chen to carefully distinguish the current playing speed. He may not be able to shorten the playing time of this piece to a second or two, but he already knows that if Qi Mu's current playing speed continues, 3 Minutes and 32 seconds should be no problem.
But when the whole song ended and Qi Mu raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, he suddenly heard a terrified shout: "God!! It's actually 3 minutes and 29 seconds?!!!!"
"What?! Did you make a mistake?! 29 seconds?!"
"I actually witnessed "Infinite Motion" that surpassed the world record?!!!"
"Rick, did you read it wrong, it's really 29 seconds?!!!"
"Can I read it wrong, I deliberately pressed the stopwatch early in the morning! It's 3 minutes 29 seconds 17!!!"
…
Not to mention the crowd of Bo Ai who were stunned under the stage, even Qi Mu and Min Chen didn't expect this result. The surprised eyes flashed between the two for a moment, and then Min Chen looked indifferent and coughed softly, finally calming the tumultuous members.
"What a fuss, didn't someone play to 3 minutes and 35 seconds before?"
Bai loves everyone: "… "
35 seconds and 29 seconds are simply too different! ! ! !
Min Chen's voice made these members swallow all their excitement and surprises, and they could only stare at Qi Mu on the stage with warm and hot eyes, making the latter feel dumbfounded and feel as if he was a child. After a piece of fragrant pastry, there are hungry wolves with green eyes everywhere.
This performance of her own members really humiliated Bai Ai, let alone Min Chen, even Daniel couldn't stand it anymore. He hurriedly spoke, ready to reveal the matter: "Little angel... Cough, it's Qi Mu, how long do you usually practice the piano every day?"
Instead of directly starting the performance of the next piece, but talking first, it is to give the performers more time to rest and relax. After all, the song "Infinite Movement" still puts a lot of pressure on the player's fingers. Whether it is the fast-paced pressing and sliding of the left hand, or the frequent dancing and plucking of the right hand, even the best musicians need to Time for a little adjustment.
Listening to Daniel's words, Qi Mu recalled it carefully, and finally decided to be humble: "I've been busy recently, so I don't count the time for rehearsal with the orchestra every day, I can only spare... 4 to 5 hours of piano practice time, practice less."
Daniel: "… "
Bai loves everyone: "… "
This time, even Min Chen, who practices the piano for at most one or two hours a day, said, "..."
You are also called Shao? ! ! ! !
Then they are simply not doing their jobs properly!
Seeing that Min Chen was so "ashamed" that he couldn't face his lover, Daniel and Bo Ai were also shocked by Qi Mu's diligence, so under the stage, only Commander Char helplessly took over the burden of talking about the topic.
He thought for a while and asked, "Qi Mu, I remember you're good at Paganini-style difficult songs, so... Will your two songs be of the same type?"
Hearing this, Qi Mu chuckled and shook his head: "Mr. Char, the second piece I'm going to play is Master Sarasati's "Introduction and Tarantella"." After a pause, Qi Mu bowed slightly , said: "I think, I'm ready to continue playing."
This time it was Char's turn to command: "..."
It's only a few minutes, can you continue playing? ! ! !
Did you really play a 3:29 "Infinite Motion" just now? ! ! ! !
On this day, from the chief conductor to every member of the Berlin Philharmonic, they were all shocked by this thin and thin young man in front of him.
Even Min Chen never imagined that his youth would still have 4 or 5 hours of piano practice time after more than an hour of busying with Wei Ai's affairs and calling him (lao) and chatting (dao) with him every day!
No... This comparison is really too shameless.
A stern and indifferent expression appeared on the surface, Min Chen hid the surprise in his eyes, he raised his head to look at Qi Mu, and said seriously, "Then please play the second piece of music." Yes, it is to be so calm, It is to be so calm, not surprised at all, to maintain the demeanor of a man!
Qi Mu: "..."
What does this expression... mean
Stuck again? !
Ignoring the inexplicable and awkward incident of a certain man, Qi Mu loosened his wrists a little, then slowly put the bow on the strings, ready to start playing the second tune.
He inhaled a little, then let it out softly, and from then on, he pulled the strings abruptly.
Countless beautiful and moving notes flowed out from the young man's bow, and the sound was like the most turbulent torrent between the valleys, constantly slamming against the hard mountain wall, making a majestic sound.
If the little princess "Edith" amazed the audience with her high and dazzling piano sound, then Qi Mu, as her master, used her dazzling skills and smooth and beautiful music to amaze everyone in the audience.
The second piece Qi Mu played was Sarasati's "Introduction and Tarantella".
This is a very difficult tarantella dance. The melody that repeats and jumps up and down, and the passionate and dance-like emotion, renders everyone in the rehearsal hall, and fully reflects the charm of the dance music.
This song is full of fiery enthusiasm. Even if there is only one violin playing on the stage, it does not prevent everyone from seeing a lively dance scene through this song. Countless happy boys and girls are dancing around the fire, they share their joy with the world, and they show the infinite attraction of dance with their soft bodies.
When the whole song ended, conductor Char had fully recognized Qi Mu's strength.
He knew a long time ago that this young man has a very high level of violin, can become the chief of Wei Ai, and lead the orchestra to start a brilliant two-year prosperity. If Qi Mu's level is not enough, it is naturally impossible.
But for various reasons, in fact, this is the first time that conductor Char has heard Qi Mu's performance in person.
The first piece "Infinite Movement" is a piece that every applicant must perform, and from the second piece onwards, the choice of different pieces can express the different characteristics of the performers. At this point, conductor Char finally understands why Qi Mu just now. Say-
Bai Ai should be the same.
Yes, Qi Mu is looking for an orchestra that is more harmonious with his own style, so that he can get more room for improvement.
Isn't that Bai Ai
If the "God's Ruler" Kodori Slaughter brought stable and gentle development to Bai Ai, then if this young man came to Bai Ai, he would inevitably bring about a sudden reform like a storm.
And Char knew that behind this reform, there must be a bright and beautiful future.
Perhaps... Compared with Kedoori, this young man is really more suitable for the Berlin Philharmonic.
