Two-tone playing refers to pressing the strings with two fingers at the same time to achieve an effect similar to a duet.
This technique seems to be very simple, and many amateurs can do it, but... If you want to use this technique to the extreme, there is a piece of music that cannot be bypassed by violinists—
"The Goblin Rondo".
The bright golden sunlight shone down, and the shadow of the large white statue covered most of the young man's body, but those handsome and slender hands were still exposed to the golden sunlight.
Everyone only saw that the finger was pressing and sliding at an unbelievable speed, and a violin seemed to really get life in the hands of such an excellent person.
When the technique reaches the point of being too flashy, even the layman can feel the absolute technique.
Blocked by layers of crowds, although Professor Akkad couldn't see Qi Mu, who was surrounded by the center, he could imagine from the fast and fast rhythm that his students' performances brought a lot to the crowd. What a shock.
This Baccini's "Leprechaun Rondo" also has an alias called "Dance of the Elf". As a Rondo, it repeats the same melody many times, but uses various tricks.
Two-tone playing, flying bow, artificial overtones, left-hand plucking…
The skills that ordinary people can think of at once, this short 3-minute dazzling song has completely covered it.
The music is upbeat and euphoric, but at a time like this, the sound is no longer the most important element, and the dazzling visual effects are even more shocking.
Professor Akkad smiled helplessly, and scolded: "This little seven, to use this dazzling song as the third song... It's so naughty."
Generally speaking, short pieces like this will not be performed with a symphony orchestra. Of course, there is an exception. When a concert ends, many masters will use this piece as an encore, thanking the audience for their love .
But because the difficulty of this piece is too high, even many professional violinists can't play it well, so this piece is not very well-known in the world, but... It is very ornamental.
From the slightly open mouths of these onlookers, it can be seen that they have completely bowed to Qi Mu's piano sound. A few young people even picked up their mobile phones and started recording, to record this wonderful dazzling performance.
Of course, Qi Mu was concentrating on plucking the strings with his left hand at this time, and he didn't notice this.
"Dance of the Elf" is so difficult that even Qi Mu needs to be very careful not to make any mistakes.
I saw his left hand sliding quickly on the piano board, occasionally needing to swipe with his fingertips, while his right hand was holding a bow at the same time, showing the difficult Lianton bow skills, and every note fell precisely. In fact, there is no noise at all.
The enthusiastic and enthusiastic music sounded in the huge square, as if even the sound of breathing disappeared, only the wonderful and intense violin music sounded.
The sound was too fast, and the skills were too brilliant. After Qi Mu finished an artificial overtone at the highest range, his piano sound had stopped for half a minute, but no one came back to his senses.
"Bravo!"
A cheer came from the end of the crowd. Professor Akkad clapped for his students, showing a smile of praise from his heart.
And under his instigation, the other masses kept applauding as if they had just woken up from a big dream, and even a few people quickly pressed the screen of their mobile phones and sent the song they just recorded to the Internet to share with other people. shared.
Qi Mu smiled and bowed as his thanks. But just when he completely ended his performance and was about to pack up his violin and leave here, a tender, crisp girl's voice sounded behind him again—
"Encore... Encore... Encore!"
Qi Mu was stunned for a moment.
The next second, more voices shouted in the same language: "Encore! Encore! Encore! Encore! Encore..."
Qi Mu: "..."
In one morning, Qi Mu performed a total of five songs, and finally found a space and took the opportunity to escape. In the more than half a year of practice, he has gradually gained better stamina and is able to perform more difficult music performances, but...
That doesn't mean he can play all day without a break!
After Qi Mu finally got out of the crowd, he looked back and saw that the prince statue in Heroes Square was completely surrounded by black heads. The crowd of people seemed to let Qi Mu see the Chinese Spring Festival travel. TRAIN STATION!
… This should be surrounded by a dozen layers, right? !
It is said that in the past few years in Europe, the population of many countries has experienced negative growth? ! ! !
Without letting Qi Mu catch his breath for a while, he saw Professor Akkad beckoning to him not far away. When he walked over, before he could say a word, this arrogant and awkward little old man would take his own life. He put his hat on his head and said, "Xiao Qi, didn't the teacher ask you to play only three pieces? Why are you playing five pieces?!"
Qi Mu stretched out his hand to straighten the hat, then raised his head to look at his teacher, only to see that Professor Akkad wrote "I'm very angry" at this time, and seemed very unhappy.
Qi Mu, who knew the other party's temper very well, thought for a while, and followed the other party's hair: "Teacher, isn't it because you teach too well, that's why my violin can attract so many people. They keep blocking... I It's not going to end well, teacher, don't you think?"
Hearing that the young man praised himself a little, Professor Akkad was a little more satisfied.
The two walked out of the square together, and Professor Akkad said, "Well, you played all five pieces well just now. But... Xiao Qi, the teacher asked you to choose a professional-level piece that can be played in the Golden Hall. , how did you choose "Dance of the Elf"?"
A morning passed, and it was already noon. Vienna in May has completely lost the cold of winter, and the wind blowing on the front is full of warmth of spring. The slightly hot sun hung in the air, and the shadow cast by the brim of the hat covered most of Qi Mu's face.
Listening to Professor Akkad's words, he smiled and replied, "Teacher, don't you... haven't you played this piece on the stage of the Golden Hall more than 30 years ago? I remember that you were greeted with applause at that time. Woolen cloth."
This flattery was light and smooth, without a trace, which made Professor Akkad very useful. He nodded with a smile, and said, "Well, not bad, I did play this "Dance of the Elf", and it was many years ago."
Seeing that his teacher's smile could no longer be hidden, Qi Mu also smiled and hooked his lips.
After getting along for so long, he has already figured out what kind of character this arrogant and cute little old man is. If he can make the teacher happy, presumably... His next life will be easier, right
But it didn't make Qi Mu happy for too long. The two walked out of the Heroes Square together. Professor Akkad reached out and called for a taxi. After getting in the car, he said, "Xiao Qi, you have to behave well in the afternoon. Don't let the teacher down!"
Qi Mu: "..."
The corners of his mouth reluctantly raised an arc, Qi Mu blinked and looked at Master Akkad: "Teacher... I don't know what you mean by that?"
Professor Akkad was stunned when he heard the words, and then said of course: "In the afternoon we are going to Emperor Franz Square, just like in the morning, Xiao Qi, you have to play well and don't lose the teacher's face!"
Qi Mu was almost unable to keep the smile on his face, he sighed deeply and asked, "Teacher, the Emperor's Square is near the Heroes' Square, we only need to walk a little to get there, then... Hire a taxi?"
Professor Akkad, who exposed Lu Chi's attributes: "..."
After reaching out his hand to cover his lips and coughing heavily, Professor Akkad's ears turned red: "Hu... nonsense! Xiao Qi, you have come to Vienna too few times, don't you know, in fact, Heroes' Square is still a little bit from Emperor's Square. far, we have a long way to go..."
"Your place is here, sir."
The taxi driver suddenly spoke up, interrupting Professor Akkad's next words.
Akkad: "..."
Qi Mu: "..."
After paying a starting price, Qi Mu and his teacher Lu Chi got out of the car together. Qi Mu looked at this city that he was familiar with and lived in for more than ten years, feeling amused and helpless at the same time.
"Teacher... Please follow me in the next days! Although..." After a pause, Qi Mu said with a smile, "Although I haven't lived in Vienna for a long time, I can still understand the map. please do not worry."
Professor Akkad: "..."
------------
Zurich, evening.
After the penultimate performance of the New Year's Spring Tour, the members of the Berlin Philharmonic took their simple luggage and walked through the Zurich International Airport in harmony, planning to take a plane to the next performance location.
And behind the mighty team that was comparable to a model troupe, Daniel was silently looking at the man beside him with his hands in his pockets, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.
"Min! Why did you go to Paris for so long?! Do you know how much work I have been doing during your absence!!!" The blond man scratched his head depressedly and said again : "Being the manager of you and Bai Ai, I've had eight lifetimes of blood mold! You irresponsible guy, you devil!"
What responded to him was the man's usual silence, and he didn't even bother to score this frizzy guy from the corner of his eye.
Daniel said angrily: "Hey, Min! It's still some time before the orchestra's concert in Vienna, you might as well go to Paris again. I really don't understand, what are you doing there? You even hold the position of the National Conservatory of Music in Paris. The evaluation judges, well, aren't you most afraid of trouble?"
Min Chen said calmly and calmly, "I'm very enthusiastic, so I don't bother."
Daniel: "… "
"Do you dare to repeat this sentence to the members of the band!!!"
All the members of Bai Ai who are walking in the front: "… "
Daniel, if you want to provoke the commander, why drag them into the water! ! !
Daniel was furious: "You can go to Paris, anyway, there are still a few days until the concert in Vienna."
"Don't go."
Daniel: "...you go!"
"Don't go."
Daniel was extremely depressed: "So, why don't you want to go to Paris now?"
"Because... he has already arrived in Vienna." The man muttered to himself in a low and weak voice, which was quickly drowned in the air.
Daniel: "Huh?! Min, did you say something just now? I didn't hear clearly..."
"Min?"
"… Auston?!"
"Auston Bertram?!"
"Devil! God should have sent a little angel down to take care of you nasty demon!"
…
Min Chen didn't take Daniel's complaints to heart. He turned his head to look at the huge glass windows of the airport, and saw that on the long runway, planes took off and landed. Against the background of the blue sky and white clouds, they looked very leisurely and clean.
Angel...
Maybe God has sent it.
