After the enthusiastic applause, the melodious sound of the piano sounded throughout the concert hall.
In the box where Qi Mu was, the sounds of all the instruments on the stage clearly seemed to be ringing in his ears.
Whether it was the tambourine, timpani, and triangle of the percussion group, or the trumpet, oboe, and English pipe of the tubular instrument group, and even the clear and moving violin sound of Kedoori, Qi Mu could hear it clearly.
Qi Mu had guessed before that this box would be the best location for acoustics in the audience. And when he actually heard such a rich and multi-layered symphony with his own ears, he had already confirmed his original conjecture.
Do not…
Perhaps when he saw the man entering the box, he should have been able to guess.
Min Chen's position will naturally be the top position in the audience, but there are exceptions.
At this moment, Schumann's "Vienna Carnival" is being played on the stage. The magnificent and majestic music makes the audience indulge in it and feel the carnival atmosphere from the music.
While the music is playing, no one speaks. And although Qi Mu was very surprised at how Min Chen came here, he didn't talk to the man sitting next to him at this time.
There are six seats in the box, three in the front and three in the back. As soon as Professor Akkad entered the door, he chose the seat on the far left to sit down, and Qi Mu sat next to his tutor. At that time, he had no idea that there was another person in the box who needed to be present.
So when Min Chen sat directly beside him, because the concert had already started, Qi Mu had to smile back to the other party and didn't have time to say more.
When the first song ended, in the thunderous applause, Qi Mu clapped lightly and asked in a low voice, "I never thought that the first performance of this year's tour season would be... in Paris."
The youth's deliberately lowered voice was almost inaudible in the roaring applause. The light in the box was already dim, and Professor Akkad was reminiscing about the passionate song "Vienna Carnival" just now, and did not notice Qi Mu and Min Chen's actions.
Hearing Qi Mu's words, Min Chen lowered his eyes and replied in a low voice, "Daniel thinks that the orchestra can't always be the same, so he made some new ideas this year, and the second performance is still in London."
Hearing this, Qi Mu nodded lightly, and then he seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "Could it be that... the concert you asked me on the phone before if I needed a performance ticket was this time?!"
A smile flashed in Min Chen's dark eyes, and he made a low "um".
Qi Mu: "..."
So, even though he rejected Min Chen's invitation at first, he still went to the concert and sat with him to listen to the concert in the end
Not noticing Qi Mu's tangled expression, Min Chen gently clapped his hands, and the ring with the family crest engraved between his left fingers reflected a faint silver light. He frowned slightly and seemed to be thinking about something. After a long time, Min Chen squinted his eyes and whispered, "Seven?"
"Huh?" Qi Mu responded subconsciously.
Min Chen: "..."
It wasn't until he responded reflexively that Qi Mu realized that the person who called out the name was not his own tutor.
He stretched out his hand to cover his lips, coughed twice in embarrassment, and said in a low voice, "This is the name that Mr. Akkad gave me. He doesn't know Chinese, so he pronounced my name a bit awkward, so he just said it like that. Yes. Did he tell you my name? You don't need to care, just call me Qi Mu."
Min Chen: "..."
After a long time, Min Chen let out a low hum from his throat, which was regarded as an answer.
At this time, the applause in the field has gradually subsided, and the second piece of music has officially started to sound. Qi Mu focused his attention on the stage again, but he naturally didn't notice that beside him, the handsome and indifferent man pursed his lips and lowered his eyes a little displeased.
Luckily... he shouldn't know what I did before.
—Min Chen thought to himself.
Under the dim light of the box, no one noticed that this always cheeky man had a rare blushing ear, and Min Chen just coughed lightly, and there was no strange behavior.
A two-hour concert is naturally impossible to play from beginning to end. During the 15-minute break, Qi Mu originally wanted to say hello to Min Chen formally. Unexpectedly, Master Akkad started to argue with Min Chen about the arrangement of the orchestra staff.
Although Professor Akkad has never been an orchestra conductor, he was the principal violinist of the Dresden Symphony Orchestra before coming to the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de la Musique in Paris.
The maestro has served as principal violin in three world-class symphony orchestras in his decades-long musical career, so even if he is not a conductor, he can make very important comments on any symphony.
Professor Akkad thinks that in the setting of this concert, the number of the second violin group seems to be larger. And when he learned that the staffing arrangement this time was actually led by Min Chen, he even directly argued with the other party.
Although it turned out that Professor Akkad was persuaded by Min Chen's three reasons, but by that time the 15-minute break had ended, and Schumann's Aberg Variations began to be played again in the concert hall.
Therefore, Qi Mu had to sit back in his seat again and continue listening to the concert.
Robert Schumann was a famous German pianist and composer in the 19th century. Almost all of his works are piano pieces. Even in the impression of the world, only the piano can perfectly present these excellent music.
It is not that there has been a symphony orchestra that has adapted Schumann's pieces into a pure orchestral form without piano concertos, but like Bai Ai's 5 pieces of Schumann's pieces, there is no piano sound at all. This is the first time it has happened.
After the concert officially ended, Professor Akkad stood up and applauded enthusiastically, without hesitation in his praise. While applauding, he said, "Min, I originally thought you would perform as a piano player this time, but I didn't expect... you guys really don't have a piano!"
Min Chen nodded slightly to Akade's emotion, and answered bluntly: "I may be on stage in later performances, but in the first show of the tour season, Daniel said... we need to be innovative and creative."
Hearing this, Master Akkad raised his eyebrows: "Don't tell me that Daniel Duke can do the adaptations of these songs, he just wants to lose all his hair, and it's impossible. It's such a good adaptation." After a pause, Akkad said again: "Well, don't have to fall off, I think his golden hair should be bald soon."
"Pfft..."
Hearing Qi Mu's laughter, Min Chen raised his eyes and glanced at him, his thin lips slightly hooked, and said, "Basically, it was adapted by me and Char, and Kdori also helped a little bit. In fact, Daniel also did it. Something..." Speaking of this, Min Chen deliberately lengthened his voice, and even Qi Mu couldn't help but look at him curiously, and was whetted by the other party's appetite.
I saw Min Chen narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "He made us coffee, um... It doesn't taste very good."
Qi Mu was almost choked by laughter.
And Professor Akkad seemed to have no sense of humor at all, he nodded, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said quickly: "Wait a minute, since you are neither a conductor nor a piano player this time, then... why is your name still Hang it carelessly on the poster at the entrance of the concert hall? It's still that big?!"
Faced with this sudden accusation, Min Chen was stunned for a moment, then he frowned slightly and thought for a while, then tentatively replied: "Because... I'm the music director?"
Professor Akkad snorted coldly and shook his head: "It's not about introducing the orchestra, what do you want the director to do?" The tone was so disgusting that he didn't even bother to throw a glance at Min Chen from the corner of his eye, as if he was using his life to come Expressing his contempt for "this man printed his name on the poster and printed it so big".
Unexpectedly, for Akkad's contempt, Min Chen nodded lightly and calmly, and said in a flat tone: "Oh, that's probably because... I'm more handsome."
Qi Mu: "..."
Akkad: "..."
"Auston! I never knew you were such a narcissist!"
Min Chen raised his lips, raised his eyes and asked, "Then you found out now?"
Professor Akkad: "..."
Qi Mu: "..."
If you want to be angry with this vicious man with a black belly, at the level of Master Akkad, you probably need to practice again...
Well, 500 years.
