The first song Qi Mu chose was called "Summer Night". This is an authentic Chinese piece of music, the whole piece is very short, only over four minutes, and there are not too many difficult skills, only the level of amateur level 8.
And when this tune sounded, more and more people around Qi Mu had gathered.
Every spring, tourists from all over the world flock to Vienna, and one of the city's famous attractions, Heroes' Square, is full of people with all kinds of hair and skin.
The more people there are, the louder the sound will be. In such a noisy and empty environment, it seems that playing an impassioned "Turkish March" is the most correct choice. But on the contrary, when the melodious and beautiful sound of the violin spread out from the hole, even Professor Akkad, who was dozens of steps away, was stunned.
After thinking for a while, the experienced Akkad realized that this was actually a Chinese piece of music!
Even Professor Akkad had to think for a while before he knew what the tune was, and the other passers-by didn't even know what this mysterious and wonderful tune was. But they know that this song is soft and gentle, which makes people feel warm and quiet, and even the irritable mood is much calmer.
For the passers-by present, most of them have not touched musical instruments, but this does not prevent them from enjoying a beautiful piece of music. The soft and beautiful sound of the violin seemed to put a thin layer of veil in front of their eyes, isolating all the noise from the outside world.
Even the children who were still noisy just now bit their little fingers in a daze, staring straight at the big brother standing in the crowd.
More and more people gathered, and when Qi Mu put down the bow, four or five people had gathered around him.
Suddenly seeing so many people, Qi Mu was stunned for a moment, then he put his right hand in front of him, bent down slightly, and gave a unique gentleman's salute.
Looking at the young man's appearance, these sluggish passers-by just woke up, and thunderous applause broke out in an instant.
"Great music!"
"Vienna is full of great musicians!"
"This kid's acting is amazing, oh, what the heck is this wonderful tune?!"
…
All kinds of languages are ringing around Qi Mu. Among the many languages, he can only understand English, German and part of French. As for other babbling languages, Qi Mu can't understand even a single syllable. However, he can still understand their praise for himself from the smiling faces and applause of the onlookers.
The applause lasted for three minutes without any sign of stopping.
After Qi Mu placed the bow on the strings again, many passersby were stunned for a moment, and then someone exclaimed, "Is there any more?" stop disappearing.
In the middle of the crowd, Qi Mu smiled and looked at the blond little angel who was held by his mother in his arms. He put the index finger of his right hand against his lips. It was miraculous, the little girl who was dancing and babbling just now. Suddenly there was no sound, and he just stared blankly at the handsome and handsome big brother in front of him.
After the last bit of noise was resolved, Qi Mu raised his bow again. This time, not long after the song he performed, many people were already shouting in a low voice—
"It turned out to be "Gypsy Song"!"
Under the statue in the square, the tragic and desolate piano sounded slowly, Qi Mu clenched his brows, and there was a sense of solemnity in his expression.
The white and slender fingers were slowly pressing on the black piano board. This voice was not as euphemistic and light as before, but rather solemn and solemn, which made all the audience stunned for a moment, and their hearts were also pinched by the suddenly high portamento at the beginning.
This "Gypsy Song" also has a louder alias, called "The Wanderer Song", which is the representative work of the famous Spanish composer Sarasati. Its performance skills have reached a professional level, but what is more difficult than the skills and blocks many players is its unique and profound musical connotation.
A wandering gypsy, shivering in the cold autumn wind, this kind of sadness is vividly reflected in the beautiful piano sound, expressing the miserable and bleak situation of the homeless person in repeated grief, Sympathetic.
In fact, when Professor Akkad heard the third note, he guessed the song Qi Mu was going to play.
What Professor Akkad didn't expect was that Qi Mu would actually play such a difficult and profound tune in the second tune.
This "Song of the Wanderer" is a frequent visitor to the Golden Hall, and players from all over the world often perform this timeless classic on stage.
Akkad naturally has no doubts about Qi Mu's level. After all, even if "Song of the Wanderer" is somewhat difficult, it is slightly less than Paganini's "The Bell". The former pays more attention to artistic emotion, while the latter pays more attention to performance skills, and there is not much comparability.
but…
"Since the "Song of the Wanderer" has been performed now... What do you want to play next... Xiao Qi?"
Qi Mu naturally didn't hear what Professor Akkad said. The clear brows were wrinkled tightly, and there was another octave of high notes, and the homeless cried and cried for life again.
Such tragic music made many passers-by look sentimental, and even some sentimental people had red eyes, as if they had seen the poor homeless person who was not tolerated by the world, by human beings, and by all things in the world.
The youth's high-skilled and emotional performance made the entire square seem to be silent.
Everyone only heard that the sad and sad music had reached its climax, but it suddenly turned from sadness to joy, as if they were relieved after reading thousands of sails. sadness.
The contrast is so strong, what was just infinite grief just turned into an incomparable joy in an instant. This kind of change seems to be a deliberate forced smile, so that many people finally couldn't hold back the tears completely.
The scene looked really hilarious, with the sentimental audience holding back tears amid the mournful music. But when it came to the happy allegro of the fourth movement, they couldn't help crying.
In fact, only those who have truly experienced life can understand the pain behind the laughter.
Of course, many people have noticed this young man's outstanding performance skills.
Being able to perform "Gypsy Song" to such a level, most people with a little musical knowledge suddenly realize that—
The young man playing in front of him may be... an outstanding violinist!
He plucked the strings lightly with his left hand, and jumped the bow quickly with his right hand. He did all these difficult skills very gracefully and calmly, and even the music he performed was more beautiful and moving than they had ever heard!
This must be a musician!
Vienna is really hidden dragons and crouching tigers!
—Many passers-by sighed in their hearts.
When the song "Gypsy Song" ended, even more warm applause sounded again, even the little blond angel nestled in his mother's arms stirred his small palms and babbled at Qi Mu.
Qi Mu smiled and nodded at her, and suddenly saw a middle-aged man step forward, took a brand new 50 euro bill, and planned to put it in the piano case on the steps.
But before he took a few steps, Qi Mu stretched out his right hand and stopped in front of the kind man, smiling and saying in fluent German: "Thank you for your kindness, sir, please give this money to those who need it. people."
Under the sun, the young man's fair and delicate face seemed to have a faint golden color, which made many people stunned.
The middle-aged man understood in an instant, and he immediately apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were an artist. Thank you very much for the music you brought us. It's such a beautiful voice!"
At the end of his words, many tourists and passers-by also went to sigh with emotion.
In places like Vienna, there are many musicians who simply want to dedicate their piano sounds to this music capital, not for money. Obviously, at this time, they regarded Qi Mu as such a musician who devoted himself to art and did not lack money.
Qi Mu nodded lightly, knowing whether to laugh or cry. Before he could return to his senses, he suddenly heard a tender voice in front of him: "An... Anke... Anke!"
Qi Mu looked at the place where the voice was made in surprise, and saw that the cute blond little angel was puffing out her small palms and kept saying "Encore". It seems that her mother told her to say it. The little angel kept talking, and it didn't take long for other passers-by present to shout: "Encore!"
"Encore!"
"Encore..."
Qi Mu stared blankly at such a situation and smiled. He gave another gentleman's salute, and then... put the bow on the strings again.
The sound in the square suddenly stopped again. At this time, the crowd around the statue had already surrounded seven or eight floors-they were all attracted by the sad and moving "Song of the Wanderer", but at this time they were all over the place. I'm annoyed why I didn't come earlier so I can see what the performers look like.
At the end of the crowd, Professor Akkad pouted and said in a low voice, "Hmph, of course my students are very good. They have good violin skills and are so cute! You will definitely be jealous of me when you see them, haha. …”
As soon as he finished speaking, Professor Akkad frowned again and thought: "But... If there is another person with bad intentions like Auston, what should I do... Well, it still won't work, I still have to protect me well. Lovely student, don't let him…”
Before Professor Akkad could finish his thoughts, he suddenly heard an extremely fast allegro suddenly sounding in the square.
Akkad's voice was drowned in his throat. After a long time, he suddenly realized what he had heard. Then he opened his eyes wide in horror, looked towards the direction surrounded by the crowd, and exclaimed, "It turned out to be this song. song!"
