In the simple and unadorned piano room, the gorgeous violin was playing continuously. Qi Mu is a thoughtful person. Over the years, he has rarely confidently thought that he is very good and proficient in that piece, but he dared to say with confidence: "I am very good at it. "
I saw that the bow was jumping fast on the strings, each time it was only a little high, and it was quickly controlled by this skilled player. Can be called the king of the violin, Paganini has always been praised by the world for his dazzling and excellent violin skills.
For unskilled violinists, this "The Bells" is naturally a nightmare. But for the skilled Qi Mu, he was already completely immersed in this piece, until the end of the whole piece, he was still a little immersed in the familiar music, unable to extricate himself.
When Qi Mu came back to his senses, he just heard the long and long buzzing of the bell.
Today is Christmas Eve, and the bells of the big towers in many places in City B are ringing at midnight. The sound of the bells and drums is very penetrating, even in Qi Mu’s piano room, some can be heard. lingering sound.
Qi Mu put his violin into the piano case, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect it to be past twelve." After closing the case, Qi Mu turned to look at the man sitting opposite, with a tone of voice. Lightly said: "Merry Christmas!"
Min Chen had already narrowed his eyes, still his usual calm and calm appearance. He nodded and said, "Merry Christmas."
The notes of the violin were still wandering in the piano room, Min Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and commented: "You have a good grasp of "The Bell", I have heard the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra Principal Leon Zaye before. My husband played "The Bells" for the duet, and you are no less skilled than him, and your handling of some details is also very good."
Facing the other person's praise to him, Qi Mu was not shy, but nodded very decently: "Thank you for your compliment."
Min Chen raised his eyes and asked casually, "Whose album are you listening to?"
For any musician, listening to music masters is a very important thing. Even Min Chen, in the huge piano room in his Berlin home, used a whole wall of bookshelves to display the music albums of various masters dating back to the last century, including the oldest music albums. Records, tapes, and now Blu-ray CDs.
Qi Mu recalled it for a while and replied, "I have bought Mr. Accardo's tapes before. I have listened to his version of "The Bell" many times, and among other versions, I also like his version very much."
Hearing this, Min Chen raised his eyes and looked at Qi Mu seriously. After a long time, he asked again: "You only heard of Akado's "The Bell"?"
Qi Mu nodded as a matter of course, and smiled without thinking too much: "I must have heard other versions, but Mr. Arkado's version I have heard the most and liked the most. Why, you also like his "" Bells?"
Min Chen shook his head slightly and said, "I prefer... your version of "The Bell"."
As soon as these words landed, Qi Mu was stunned. After a while, he smiled helplessly: "This hat is too big, I don't even dare to wear it."
Being complimented by Min Chen as his favorite version, Qi Mu was a little too embarrassed, so he had to laugh at himself and pushed back such a glorious compliment. And Min Chen didn't say much. After the two chatted a few more words, it was too late, so they separated.
Qi Mu also hadn't prepared a table of meals by himself for a long time. After a busy day, he already felt a little tired, so he simply cleaned up and went to bed soon. In the place separated by a wall, the spacious and simple living room is dark and silent, the owner did not turn on the lights, only the city lights shining through the floor-to-ceiling windows made the room more illuminated.
The tall and straight man leaned back against the black Steinway piano that Qi Mu had just praised as an emperor. He frowned and looked down at the bright moonlight on the ground. The deep look seems a bit complicated.
No one knew how long Min Chen had been standing, he just leaned against the side of the grand piano and kept his head down. It was not until the distant east gradually revealed a hint of fish belly white that he finally made the first action: he made a certain call.
After a short beep, the call was quickly picked up by the other party. There seemed to be some kind of family banquet going on over there, and the children's laughter came from the listening hole.
"Hey Min! Happy Christmas Eve! It should be past midnight on your side, right? You called me too early, and I still have more than an hour to arrive at midnight! By the way, it's coming soon. It's the New Year's concert, you damned guy should come back too, right?"
Min Chen exerted a little force on his feet, and then he straightened up from the piano. He walked casually to the smooth and smooth floor-to-ceiling windows and whispered, "Daniel, happy Christmas Eve, help me book the ticket, and wish you a wonderful Christmas Eve."
"Haha, Min, you're only so good at talking at Christmas. Well, what can you do with me? My sweetheart is waiting for me to cut the turkey. The quality of the turkey this year is really good. Baked to the outside and tender to the inside, tsk tsk…”
Min Chen went straight to the topic: "Help me check someone."
Daniel seemed to be talking. After he answered a few words, he turned his head and said to Min Chen, "Are you still thinking about that Luo Yusen? Hey, Min, I'm about to find out his old man, you After a while, I'll be able to investigate everything about him and Jasco. I really don't know where Luo provokes that black fat guy, Jasco, but he'll kill him."
A few days ago, before Min Chen left Hong Kong City, Daniel had already investigated. The reason why Luo Yusen has been isolated and excluded from the Vienna Symphony Orchestra these days seems to be deliberately done by the orchestra's chief Jasco. Although Daniel still doesn't know why Jasco did this, he was sure that it was Jasco's hand, and he was quite sure.
After listening to Daniel's words, Min Chen rarely asked Luo Yusen any more. He narrowed his eyes and said, "It's not about Luo Yusen, I want you to check... Qi Mu."
Daniel was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously, "Didn't I check his information for you before? My father is the permanent conductor of the Huaxia S City Symphony Orchestra, and my mother is also the principal violinist of the S City Symphony Orchestra. She started at the age of 4. Learned the violin, won the Menuhin Junior Championship at the age of 13, and the Vienna Symphony Orchestra at the age of 14…”
"Daniel."
The man's low voice suddenly interrupted Daniel's words. Daniel suddenly realized that something was wrong. He frowned, opened the door and walked out of the happy and lively banquet living room. He walked to the small balcony and asked, "Min, what happened? What's the matter, what are you looking for?"
"I want you to check..."
"His relationship with Lu Ziwen."
------------
As the New Year approaches, major European orchestras will hold a grand and grand New Year's concert. In the world of classical music, the most striking are the Vienna New Year's Concert and the Berlin Philharmonic New Year's Concert.
The latter is a musical feast played on New Year's Eve every year in the Berlin Philharmonic Hall. The former is usually held in the Golden Hall on January 1 every year, and it will be broadcast live in dozens of countries around the world, making this annual symphony event played in every corner of the world.
In Vienna, the capital of music, the protagonist of the New Year's concert is naturally the Vienna Philharmonic. At this time of year, music lovers from all over the world will gather here to listen to the performance of Wei Ai.
As for the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, although they are also world-class symphony orchestras, they will not compete with Wei Ai at this time. In previous years, they often conducted some world tours. After all, there were only a few people who could come to Vienna to listen to the concert. It is their mission to convey the beauty of classical music to music fans around the world.
But this year, probably because of some incidents within the orchestra, Mr. Evra, the chief conductor, did not hold a global tour. Instead, he asked the entire orchestra to make an adjustment this winter and wait for a public performance next year in the new year.
Vienna in winter still has the warm sun and sparse rainfall. Even near the end of the year, the sunlight is still so warm that people don't want to move.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Vienna Symphony Orchestra headquarters.
Although it is said to be adjusted, the necessary daily rehearsal training is essential. It is finally time for afternoon tea. The chief Jasco, who is acting as the temporary conductor, has just announced a break. The man sitting in the second violin group's deputy chief position In a single step, he rushed out.
Fatty Hei, who was still standing in the conductor's position, sneered, looked at the black-haired Chinese man who was running towards the conductor's lounge, muttered something in his mouth, and then went out with other orchestra members for afternoon tea.
On the other side, Luo Yusen stood tremblingly at the door of the command lounge, and after being allowed to do so, he crept in.
Stravinsky's "Petruska" is playing in the room, and the elegant piano sound flows slowly with the rotation of the record. Since someone entered the room, Mr. Evra turned down the sound of the record. He turned around, looked at Luo Yusen expressionlessly, and asked, "Luo? Are you looking for me at this time, what's the matter? "
Luo Yusen looked down at the floor, he struggled in his heart for a long time before he said: "Mr. Evra, there are many songs that need to be played by the deputy chief on the tour next season. I don't think the deputy chief position of the orchestra can no longer be played. Keep going."
The deputy principal that Luo Yusen said naturally did not refer to the deputy principal of the second violin group, but the deputy principal position of the first violin group. More than four months ago, that was Lu Ziwen's position, but since the accident, Mr. Evra has been vacating that position and has not made any further seat adjustments or external recruitment.
Facing Luo Yusen's sudden words, Mr. Evra was not too surprised. The serious little old man still kept his face and said nothing, as if he was still waiting for the other party's next words.
Luo Yusen hesitated for a while and said, "Mr. Evra, I also thought a lot during this time. Ziwen's death made me very sad. I often dream of him every night when I fall asleep. I think, he I definitely don't want to see the orchestra lose a deputy chief forever because of him." As he spoke, Luo Yusen seemed to have confidence, he looked up at Mr. Evra, and said, "Mr. Evra, I want to recommend myself to you, please Test me!"
Luo Yusen's voice fell, but there was no echo in the room.
This strange silence made Luo Yusen feel uneasy in his heart. After a long time, he heard Mr. Evra sigh in a low voice and asked, "Luo, go to training, the deputy chief thing... I have this number in my heart. I am also very saddened by Lu's passing, he is a very promising and excellent violinist, as his lover, you must work hard together with his share."
Luo Yusen was in a hurry: "Mr. Evra, I'm really willing to accept your test, I..."
"Luo." Mr. Evra looked indifferently at the anxious black-haired man in front of him, and he said in a flat tone: "Your level is not enough for the position of deputy chief, you should practice hard, the orchestra has been improving, I hope you can keep up with everyone's rhythm. For Lu's sake, the termination of the contract that I mentioned with you before is done, but... Your strength is what will bring you the next contract renewal. Guaranteed."
Under Mr. Evra's stern refusal, Luo Yusen left the command lounge angrily.
The piano sound belonging to "Petruska" in the lounge was played for a long time, and finally it was calm. Mr. Evra removed the disc and put it back in the record holder with a calm expression. It seemed to be the nagging of the little old man in menopause, while he put it on, he muttered: "You still want to be the deputy chief at that level? Alas, it's a pity that someone as talented as Lu left first..."
