Being able to become the seed player in Zheng Weiqiao's mouth, Sheng Yanhui is indeed outstanding. The first piece he played was Op.18 in Mozart's Violin Sonata, which was a very skill-testing piece, and Sheng Yanhui naturally completed it brilliantly.

When it was his turn to end, Sheng Yanhui went to Qi Mu's side and said a few words, to the effect of "I am honored to be on the same stage with you again", "I look forward to your performance" and so on.

Hearing this, Zheng Weiqiao was ashamed, but Qi Mu replied with a calm smile, as if he was really familiar with Sheng Yanhui, and he didn't take any courtesy.

By the time Qi Mu came to power, a few more players had already passed.

The first piece performed by Qi Mu was "Scene of Love", which is a piece by the world-famous violinist Paganini. It may not be his peak work, but it is the most important part of the violin master's life. One of the first songs.

Paganini was the most outstanding violinist in medieval Europe, and arguably the most well-deserved violin king in history. The great violin master left dozens of violin pieces in his life, almost every one of them can be regarded as the handwriting of God.

And there is a story behind this "Scene of Love": It is rumored that a lady named Dida fell in love with Paganini and asked Paganini to compose a song to express her love for herself, and Play with only two strings.

Putting it on someone else, this request is probably too embarrassing, but if the object is Paganini, it can't be easier.

This amazing violin master has a nickname—

One-string madman.

Among the classic repertoires he has left behind in his life, several are so horrified that one string is used to play the whole piece!

And "Scene of Love" is a two-stringed piece, using E string to represent women and G string to represent men, echoing each other from afar, and finally with a passionate duet, which deeply moved the lady.

If Sheng Yanhui's Mozart Serenade Op.18 is a market-level competition, then "Scene of Love" has already reached the level of the National Games. When the judges saw that this piece was actually on the repertoire, Qian Zhenhua, an honorary member of the Huaxia Musicians Association, said: "This piece is a very test of performance skills, but I didn't expect that someone would choose to use this piece. The first piece is regarded as the first performance piece."

Among the three performances, most people choose the first one with stronger skills, the second one with more prominent emotional expression, and the third one they are best at.

"I rarely hear someone use Paganini's music as a skill show in competitions!" Qian Lao said with emotion, "What is this kid's name... Qi Mu? This name is a bit familiar, isn't it... is not it… "

"It seems to be Qi Jun's son, right?" said the judge sitting next to him.

Suddenly hearing a familiar name, Professor Carl turned his head in surprise and asked in stammering Chinese, "Qi... Qi Jun? Is that Qi Jun from the S City Symphony Orchestra?"

Qian Lao sighed and said, "It's really him. Eight years ago, he and his wife had an accident together. I heard that they only left their only son."

Professor Carr nodded in understanding but didn't say anything, and the other judges on the side didn't say much, but no one noticed that the bearded foreigner sitting in the center suddenly whispered a word in German: "It's that... Gifted children?"

And these, Qi Mu didn't know.

The choice of "Scene of Love" was something Qi Mu had planned for a long time.

To win the championship, to impress the championship, it is absolutely impossible to choose some simple songs. For the more difficult ones, such as Paganini's 24 Capriccio, the original owner has not played the piano for many years, and it is impossible to practice it in a short time, so Qi Mu chose this "Scene of Love" ".

However, it was this piece of "medium-to-high difficulty" and "average dazzling skills" in Qi Mu's perception that it caused a great visual impact to many people present!

The G string is located on the far left of the four strings of the violin, which is the thickest and the loudest; one.

This large leap requires a great amount of bow swing, not only to accurately rub the two strings, but also more precisely to ensure that passionate feelings are poured out to each other. So off the stage, everyone only saw the young man's beautiful fingers like white jade moving quickly on the strings, and the beautiful voice came from the small hole of the piano.

Qi Mu really gave birth to a pair of extremely eye-catching hands.

Under the high-wattage spotlight, these slender white hands seemed to reflect the light of jade, making people unable to take their eyes off. If it were just a pair of beautifully embroidered pillow-like hands, these hands were able to play such an intense tune, as if a small hammer was gently hitting the hearts of everyone present.

Even Sheng Yanhui, who was standing and listening in the background, was stunned.

When the song ended, there was silence.

At the end of this highly-skilled piece of music, Qi Mu also felt a little numb in his fingers. He was panting slightly, and his delicate and handsome face was slightly pale due to the prolonged concentration and nervousness.

There was silence for half a minute.

One minute…

two minutes...

three…

"Bravo!"

Someone suddenly shouted loudly, followed by thunderous applause.

Amidst the fierce applause of the audience, Qi Mu suddenly felt a slight tremor in the deepest part of his heart. Since his rebirth, his calm and calm state of mind finally had a moment of joy, but it was quickly and well concealed. He bowed politely and turned away.

When he walked to the backstage, Zheng Weiqiao was already flushed with excitement.

"Qi Mu! You performed so well!!!" He stepped forward and gave Qi Mu a hug. Because he was worried that Qi Mu was still holding the violin, he quickly let go and said: "You must have a well-deserved top score in the first show of skill!"

Qi Mu was still immersed in the emotion just now, and he didn't come back to his senses, and he didn't hear what Zheng Weiqiao said after that.

Seems like it's been ten years...

Haven't felt the same feeling again

Most of the people who have joined the orchestra have already bid farewell to their own music careers. Whoever introduces their name will always put an orchestra's name in front of them, and only a very few important people - such as conductors, principals - can make their reputation more than the orchestra.

Before entering the Vienna Symphony Orchestra... no, before entering the first orchestra, Qi Mu had been working hard for the goal of "entering the orchestra". At that time, everyone cheered for him, not for the orchestra.

But after entering the orchestra, more and more audience applauded, but the applause was for the orchestra, for the conductor, and for the principal. Where would one get an ordinary violinist sitting in the back row

"What's wrong, Qi Mu? It's your turn, what are you thinking?" Zheng Weiqiao asked.

Qi Mu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I'm going to go on stage first, Brother Zheng."

After a while, Qi Mu took the violin and walked towards the front desk. Looking at the place where the lights were gathered, Qi Mu suddenly felt as if he saw the splendid golden hall. He narrowed his eyes again and everything returned to normal.

This feeling-

It's poison!

Only when you stand in the glorious position that belongs only to the conductor and the chief can you understand what it feels like to stand at the top of the orchestra!

Qi Mu's second piece was Mozart's Serenade Op.6, which is "Serenade under the Moon". This piece was considered quite satisfactory among all the contestants' selections, but Qi Mu's wonderful performance also received applause from the audience.

So far, the audience has only shouted Bravo three times, one for Sheng Yanhui, who played well, and two for Qi Mu, who came out like a dark horse. When the last piece of music started to be played, Zheng Weiqiao deliberately took a look at the approximate score, he walked up to Qi Mu with a smile on his face, and said, "Now your score is the first in the audience, higher than Sheng Yanhui. ."

Qi Mu was surprised and asked, "Do you know all the scores, Brother Zheng?"

Zheng Weiqiao shook his head and said, "How can you know so much, anyway, it's enough to know that you are the current number one. Xiao Qi, if you win the number one this time, maybe you can go to the Munich Conservatory of Music! Although A friend of the teacher recommended that you should also be able to enter, but this is based on your own strength, which is different." Zheng Weiqiao said with emotion, "If this really entered, it would be great..."

In the quiet backstage, one player after another took the violin to the front desk to play. Zheng Weiqiao didn't realize that, listening to his words, Qi Mu had already slowly frowned, drooping his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

When Sheng Yanhui came to the stage and started to play, he walked up to Qi Mu again, hesitating and hesitating for a long time, before he choked out a sentence: "Qi Mu... You are still very good, but I will not admit defeat. My last piece is Mendelssohn's "E Minor", I will show my strength and let you know my ten years of work!"

Suddenly hearing a familiar name, Qi Mu was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously, "Did you choose Mendelssohn's "E Minor"?"

"Yes." After a pause, Sheng Yanhui suddenly thought: "Could it be that... you too?!"

Sighing, Qi Mu nodded lightly. After Sheng Yanhui got the result, his face turned pale instantly, he turned around and left without saying a word.

In the same competition and the same song selection, the same song was actually selected, and... even when the performance order is so close, there will inevitably be a distinction between upper and lower. The previous two songs Qi Mu's score has surpassed Sheng Yanhui, and when it comes to the third song, Sheng Yanhui may be hit hard in the face.

How could Sheng Yanhui not be shocked by this

But that's how it happened.

Sheng Yanhui walked towards the center of the stage in an uneasy mood. Before he left the backstage, he suddenly heard a low and pleasant male voice: "Wait a minute, Sheng... Sheng Yanhui." He turned to look, and saw Qi Mu walking over quickly .

Sheng Yanhui was puzzled and didn't ask any questions, but Qi Mu suddenly raised his lips and showed a sneer, he looked at Sheng Yanhui up and down as if in disgust, and then said sarcastically: "You are really unlucky to choose a song with me. , it seems that you will always be my defeat."

Sheng Yanhui's face suddenly turned red, and he refuted angrily: "Qi Mu! You are so arrogant!"

Qi Mu raised his eyes and glanced at him. In Sheng Yanhui's eyes, the young man's light-colored eyes seemed to be filled with contempt and disdain. I just heard Qi Mu say coldly: "Oh yes? But, I just have this arrogant capital. Play your "E Minor" well, um... I will try my best to let you?"

Sheng Yanhui was furious: "Qi Mu! You deceive people too much!!!"

Seeing this, the handsome and good-looking young man just smiled coldly, and then turned and left without leaving Sheng Yanhui a glimpse of his vision. That Sheng Yanhui suddenly felt a burst of motivation in his heart, he clenched his bow, turned around confidently, and strode to the stage.

But for a moment, the melodious and clear sound of the violin sounded slowly.

"Eh Xiaoqi, what did you say when you went after that Sheng Yanhui just now?" Zheng Weiqiao asked curiously.

I saw that Qi Mu's frowning brows slowly stretched out, and the acerbic look just now disappeared completely. He smiled and raised his lips with a beautiful arc, and said, "This... I won't tell Brother Zheng."

Zheng Weiqiao looked at Qi Mu suspiciously, but didn't ask any more, but when Sheng Yanhui returned to the backstage and glared at Qi Mu viciously, Zheng Weiqiao's heart flashed, and he tried to catch it again but disappeared without a trace. No trace.

Two Mendelssohn Concertos in E minor.

A wonderful performance won the applause;

Although the performance of a performance is excellent, it is a little underwhelming in comparison.

When the final result of the competition was about to be announced, all the players sat under the stage, Qi Mu raised his head to look at the spot lit by the spotlight, his thin lips curled slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile.

"Third place, Zhao Zhengwen."

A dark-skinned young man came to the stage with tears in his eyes and was ready to accept the award. After a round of applause in the audience, everyone began to quietly wait for Professor Carr to announce the name of the second place.

"Second place..."

I saw that the bearded professor suddenly stopped speaking, his eyes turned around the audience a few times, and finally landed in Qi Mu's direction.

Zheng Weiqiao immediately held his breath and whispered as if reciting a scripture: "It's not you, it's not you... Sheng Yanhui is sitting in front of us, it must be him..."

When Qi Mu heard the words, he could not laugh or cry.

Professor Carr looked at this direction meaningfully for a long time, and then looked away, saying: "The second place is an excellent violinist. I still regret that he won this place. In my heart, he should be the player in this game. first place, so I want to name the first place first and then his."

This German guy was stammering just now, but when he said irritating words, he actually slipped as if he had practiced countless times!

Everyone present was shocked.

Which unlucky number one would this be...

Is this what the bearded man said

The author has something to say: [Fuwa's small class starts hot]

Today's topic: What is BRAVO

BRAVO's dictionary interpretation here is: (interjection int) Excellent!

Usually in a concert, someone will be very excited to shout a BRAVO first, which is a great praise and encouragement to the performance!

All in all, the performance is very good, someone takes the initiative to call BRAVO, and then everyone knows "it's time to applaud", and then they applaud together!
