On the sixth day when Qi Mu officially entered the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de la Conservatory of Music in Paris, he finally, like other ordinary students, walked into the piano room marked with the name "Reed Arkad" during the time for class and practice. , conduct a most normal teaching.
When Qi Mu saw this piano room on the first day, it was a bare scene. At that time, he even thought about it, even if there was only one piano stand, he would recognize it. But now, just a few short days have passed, and the place has undergone earth-shaking changes from before.
Italy is a country rich in artists, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael... Countless artists have risen in this country and become the brightest stars in human history. It is the starting point of the Renaissance, and it is also one of the holy places of mankind that has nurtured countless excellent paintings and symphonies.
Of course, when Qi Mu saw the appearance of this piano room, he really couldn't practice with Professor Akkad and those artists with rich literary and artistic feelings. After all... This kind of aesthetic, I am so sorry Master Da Vinci.
I saw that in this 50-square-meter piano room, bright red and simple white constitute the overall color tone. Professor Akkad seems to be very dissatisfied with the acoustics and soundproofing materials of the piano room, and added a layer of wallpaper with soundproofing effect on top of the original one.
It would be fine if it was just like that, but when Qi Mu looked at the appearance of a Chinese knot hanging in this room for a while and a big red lantern for a while, it really felt like he couldn't bear to look directly.
How to say something...
Drawing a tiger is not an anti-dog.
And what about common sense...
The Chinese restaurants in the streets and alleys of Europe and the United States have simply tarnished the four words of Chinese cuisine!
Seeing Qi Mu's expression of crying and laughing, Professor Akkad touched his chin with a smile, and said, "I know Xiao Qi, you are from China, and studying in Paris alone is very hard. Look, the teacher specially prepared for you. A piano room full of Chinese style! Are you happy?!”
Qi Mu nodded helplessly: "Happy, very happy."... If you dare to take off those four red lanterns.
Professor Akkad laughed: "This surprise is really great. In such a beautiful piano room, you must be able to practice attentively, Xiao Qi."
"..." Believe him, it's really impossible.
All morning, Qi Mu was talking to Professor Akkad about what the real Chinese style is. When he finally got Akkad's approval to remove these... After the lanterns, Chinese knots and paper-cut window grilles that filled the room, Professor Akkad sighed and said, "It's a pity, these things were carefully designed by me."
Qi Mu: "..."
Therefore, as an Italian, it is not easy for you to have such a deformed aesthetic.
In the afternoon, in the clean and tidy piano room, Qi Mu and Professor Akkad sat opposite each other and poured a cup of rich and mellow coffee for each other.
In the white mist rising from the coffee, Professor Akkad tasted the coffee and said, "Xiao Qi, when Farrar handed over your album to me, he didn't think I would be yours. Teacher. Listening to Faller, your music has a lot of emotion, and it can touch his heart."
Qi Mu listened carefully to the teacher's speech, shook his head gently, and said humbly, "I didn't expect Mr. Faller to think so..."
"You know, Faller is a very nice guy, but he rarely gives such a high opinion of a strange violinist. I think, since you can already do this, why should I pay Need to be your teacher? Farrar should have brought you into Dresden, not recommended you to me."
"But when I actually heard your music, I understood... why both Farrar and Min decided to recommend you to me instead of directly admitting you to the band."
Akkad's words made Qi Mu suddenly turn serious. He sat upright and stared at the gray-haired, serious-looking old man earnestly.
I saw that the world-renowned violin master was also looking at him solemnly at the moment, and said word by word: "Xiao Qi, do you know... how much distance is there between you and Auston Bertram?"
Hearing this, Qi Mu was slightly startled. After a long time, he said, "Teacher, I think Mr. Min and I are... quite different."
Akkad shook his head and said, "You don't want to take the road of conducting, and you don't have the idea of composing music. Of course I'm not saying you are compared to Auston like this. I mean, your violin is far from his piano. , how far is it."
After a pause, Akkad continued: "At the end of the music, it is completely interoperable. Auston's violin is just noise in my ears. Of course, his violin level is much worse than yours, you Don't worry about him. But his piano is better than yours... "
Qi Mu suddenly held his breath, waiting anxiously for Master Akkad's answer.
I saw the master stretched out his right hand and squeezed his thumb and index finger together.
"The distance between you and him is only so much."
Qi Mu's eyes widened suddenly, looking at his mentor in disbelief, and exclaimed: "Teacher, such a distance... Are you kidding me?"
Min Chen's piano level is one of the best in the world of classical music. Although this person started learning the piano at the age of seven, Min Chen has shown amazing talent since then.
The youngest Xiao Sai champion in history, performing on the same stage with Wei Ai at the age of twelve, when many people mention Min Chen, they will not be ignored because of his achievements in conducting and composing: he is still a pianist fact.
Although Qi Mu had more confidence in his own level, he had not yet reached such a high level.
Min Chen's piano level is at the same level as Master Akkad's violin level, so according to what Professor Akkad just said... Compared with his own, Qi Mu's level is actually only a gap away? !
I saw Akade shook his head seriously and said, "Yes, Xiao Qi, you read that right, if God gives classical music a benchmark, then Auston has come very close to the end, and you... near."
"Xiao Qi, there is another reason why I didn't expect that I would become your teacher... In fact, I always thought that my students should be just like me. Under his guidance, he can become a very good violinist."
Professor Akkad had never said these words to Qi Mu before, but when he looked at the sincere old man across from him, he felt a sense of destiny in his heart.
"However, when I heard your music, I was surprised to find out... That fella guy told me before, it was all bullshit! He said that you performed with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra when you were 14 years old, He is a long-established musical prodigy. Your parents are well-known musicians in China, you are not short of money, and you even have a beautiful violin in the Swiss bank!"
Professor Akkad cursed strangely, and added: "I thought you should be a very arrogant child, but after listening to your music... Xiao Qi, I feel that you and I have committed a crime back then. Same mistake."
Qi Mu put down the coffee cup in his hand and asked sincerely, "Teacher, I don't know what you mean..."
"You're not assertive enough."
This answer obviously exceeded Qi Mu's expectations, leaving him stunned in place.
"I started learning the violin at the age of six, and for more than sixty years, I considered myself talented and hard-working, and at the age of thirty I became the principal violinist of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. At that time, I won the I learned a lot of things, but I still can't get rid of it... The kind of creptiness in my piano sound that can't be abandoned."
"You know, Xiao Qi, my family is very bad. The funds for my music university were borrowed from state loans. At that time, I always thought that a poor family gave me the motivation to go up. To prove to everyone that I can do better than you guys. But then, when I was forty-five, when I heard Farrer Lewis play, I finally understood... I'm nowhere near him Where is it?"
Master Farrer is also an excellent violinist. Although he is the same as Master Akkad, he is the object of Qi Mu's reverence, but he has always secretly felt that Master Akkad's violin level is a bit higher than that of Mr. Farrar.
Now that he heard Professor Akkad's words, Qi Mu was stunned.
"Faller, this guy is really God's favorite. At the time, I could guarantee that if my violin could score 99 points, that nasty guy would only be able to score 90 points, no more. But I knew that what I was missing was It's hard for me to get that point, but Farrar... already got it."
After saying this, Professor Akkad gave a rare smile, looked kindly at the sluggish young man in front of him, and said gently: "Xiao Qi, the part I lack in music is the publicity of music. We are very confident, but But he has never been like Farrar, Auston and the others, who have never doubted themselves."
"Xiao Qi, you are not confident enough."
Professor Akkad's words seemed to have only a few short words, but Qi Mu was completely stunned.
"You're not confident enough. 』
No one has ever said this to Qi Mu, whether it is in the previous life or this life. Maybe both Min Chen and Farrar could hear a blemish in Qi Muqin's voice, but they couldn't intuitively find the most fundamental mistake.
Only Master Akkad, who has the same experience as Qi Mu, can understand the lack that stems from the deepest part of the soul.
The poor family background gave them the motivation to work hard and diligently, and at the same time, they also lacked the freedom to do whatever they wanted in their childhood.
In order to be able to learn the piano, Qi Mu never knew what it was to play. When he was young, he helped people deliver milk and newspapers, and when he was a little older, he even went to a cafe to play the violin.
And these are a kind of accumulation of life experience, which gives Qi Mu a more unique understanding of many music and rich feelings, but from another point of view, this is also a kind of... Unbridled restraint.
"Seven, you're only one point behind Auston, but this point... isn't that easy to get back. Are you ready to really surpass him in a year?"
Professor Akkad's serious voice brought Qi Mu back to his senses from his past memories. When he heard the word "transcendence", Qi Mu suddenly felt a shock in his heart. After a long time, he smiled and looked up at Akka. have to.
I saw a good-looking smile on the handsome young man's face. After a while, a low and pleasant voice sounded in the quiet piano room—
"A year is very long, teacher... Could it be shorter?"
