One thing you never forget to do, that's all. But if you think about it and finally do it, but you are interrupted in the middle, many people will have a small lump in their heart, and they want to finish the unfinished thing no matter what.
Therefore, Qi Mu deliberately got up early the next morning, but arrived at the academy after seven o'clock, and wanted to listen to the record before today's piano practice. But what Qi Mu never expected was that he had just placed the stylus on the black record, only to see the stylus tremble slightly, and then—
It doesn't move!
Don't move! ! !
Qi Mu has been tossing and turning for half an hour, but has not repaired the record player that suddenly stopped working.
Qi Mu seldom used such things as records in his last life. First, because of the development of the times, although a little sound quality was sacrificed, CDs were simpler, more convenient and more widely spread than records. Second, because vinyl records were really not enough. At a fair price, he really couldn't afford such a "luxury hobby" in his last life.
It's because he doesn't use it much, so Qi Mu is really not familiar with record players. When Master Faller arrived in the lounge, the gentle and elegant master looked at Qi Mu, who had already rolled up his sleeves and worked for a long time, and asked curiously, "Angel, what are you doing?!"
After Master Faller understood what happened, the master who was keen on classical record players checked it out himself, and regretfully said to Qi Mu, "Sorry Angel, this cute tonearm is a little broken. , I'm afraid we have to send her to a special place for repairs."
Qi Mu: "..."
The Paris-born Master Farrer smiled and said, "I remember there are a few good old shops in Paris, and there is one nearby. Angel, we will send this record player there, then I think you will be able to do it soon. Heard this beautiful record."
Qi Mu nodded helplessly, but after the two sent the record player to the nearest repair shop, Qi Mu was told helplessly: "The tonearm of this pathe is a little damaged, this machine is a limited edition from a few years ago, We also need to buy the parts inside from the UK factory, and it will probably take a few days to repair."
Faced with such a situation, Qi Mu had to put the record player in the repair shop first, and then returned to the academy.
In the bright and clean piano room, Qi Mu was practicing Chrysler's "Beautiful Rosemarin" earnestly. The rhythm is very cheerful and beautiful.
After Master Faller mentioned a few more words, Qi Mu continued to practice. What he didn't know was that, just two meters away, Master Farrar was in the [Little Angel's Practice Room] discussion group and began to complain about Professor Akkad.
Farrar: [Reed, your record player is broken, why didn't you send it in for repair? Angel had been tossing around for a long time this morning.]A few minutes later, before Professor Akkad could answer, a man who had just joined the discussion group by force last night spoke first—
[The record player is broken? what happened?]
Farrar: [Oh, Auston, Angel came to the academy very early this morning with a vinyl record he seemed to want to listen to, but the record player was broken, so we had to take the record player over to fix it. .]Min Chen: […]
After a while, Min Chen: [Reed, something is broken and diligently repairing it. This is a kind of beauty and virtue.]Master Faller looked at the text flashing on the phone, and couldn't help but tighten his eyebrows strangely. He doesn't understand, Reed's record player is broken... Why is Auston so concerned
But it didn't take Master Farrer to think for a long time, and soon Qi Mu started another performance. This time, Master Farrar put the phone directly on the sofa and began to personally guide Qi Mu.
As for the record player? Just leave it in the repair shop and get it repaired.
A week passed quickly, and at the insistence of Master Faller, Qi Mu finally chose "Lark" as his performance in the second evaluation of this semester.
This time, in the evaluation of the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de la Conservatory of Music in Paris, there was no such powerful music master as Min Chen, but a well-known French cellist was also invited as the main judge.
After the music reaches the highest level, there is no more interlaced disturbance. Between the cello and the violin, which are both stringed instruments, the interval between them is even more subtle.
Therefore, after Qi Mu played the "Skylark", the cellist smiled kindly in the warm applause of the audience, and praised: "The last time the National Conservatory of Music in Paris conducted the whole school evaluation At the time, I happened to be doing a solo show in Switzerland. But I kept hearing that the violin and piano departments, which had been divided evenly during my school days… had a tendency to overwhelm the other.”
After a pause, the master said again: "To be honest, I didn't believe it when I heard about it for the first time. I believe that students who graduated from this great college know that, of course, there are also Including me, the violin department and the piano department of the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Paris have always been mortal enemies, and there has never been one side that has an absolute advantage. And when I know that the student who gave the violin department such an advantage, he even learned from the Oscar I've been wanting to meet Tony Bertram since he had a 9.5 in both hands."
The applause of the audience has gradually subsided, and they began to look forward to what kind of score the main judge will give this handsome young man on the stage out of a pile of full marks and 9.5 points.
I saw the master looked at Qi Mu with gentle and tolerant eyes, and said, "Then today, I finally saw you, and I understand... Why you can get the high score of Auston Bertram, of course, I Thought he should have given you a lower score. You deserve—"
"10 points."
As soon as this score hit the ground, the audience was a little shocked.
While standing on the stage where the lights gathered, Qi Mu listened to such high praise, he humbly nodded slightly, and said very politely: "Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Glatter, I will continue to work hard."
The silver-haired Mr. Glatter smiled and said, "My child, I think I should be able to see your future in my lifetime. Classical music will be the world of you young people."
In the end, Qi Mu won the first place in this evaluation with a high score of 96 points, directly opening an 8-point gap with the second place. The violin department once again crushed its old rival, the piano department, so that the young guys in the piano department could only stare angrily.
Taking advantage of his height, Derain excitedly hugged Qi Mu's shoulders and said excitedly: "Xiao Qi, with you here, we will definitely be able to crush those guys in the piano department in the future! That's great! !"
Hearing this, Qi Mu couldn't help but chuckle and raised the corners of his lips, but after just "um", he didn't speak any more. He always remembered that Professor Akkad told him two months ago that as long as he can get the first place in the assessment three times in a row, he can directly graduate from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Paris in advance.
Hmm... It's better to tell Derain about this kind of thing later, so as not to spoil his interest.
The day after the assessment, Qi Mu normally arrived at the piano room half an hour earlier, ready to practice. But not long after he took out his violin today, Mr. Faller gently pushed open the door of the piano room.
Qi Mu was surprised at how Master Faller came so early today, when he saw this gentle-tempered old gentleman wrinkle his thick eyebrows, sighed helplessly, and said, "Angel, there are two things... I want to tell you, which one do you want to hear?"
Qi Mu was holding the rosin and planning to wipe the bow, his slender fingers contrasted with the light yellow rosin, making him appear a little fairer.
Hearing Master Farrer's words, he couldn't help putting down the rosin and violin bow in his hands, frowned slightly, and asked in a gentle tone, "Mr. Farrer, generally speaking... it shouldn't be divided into good news and bad news. , is it up to you to let me make a choice?"
Master Faller was stunned for a while, and finally waved his hand and said, "Okay, Angel, this is probably your Chinese culture. I'll just say it directly, first of all, the next season's performance in Dresden is decided one month ahead of schedule. So tomorrow at the latest, preferably tonight, I need to go back to Dresden."
This answer surprised Qi Mu. After a long while, he nodded and said, "Mr. Nafale... I don't know what the other news is?"
Mr. Faller turned his head with a smile, looked at the lovely young man in front of him with admiration, and said, "Angel, I'm going back to the Dresden Symphony Orchestra. I think my orchestra is still very good. Yes, then... do you want to come and see with me while that old guy Reed hasn't come back?"
Qi Mu's eyes widened suddenly, unable to hide his surprised expression.
The Dresden Symphony Orchestra... more than good? !
The symphony orchestra, which has been established for more than 400 years, is the oldest symphony orchestra in the world. It has experienced nearly five centuries of ups and downs, and even almost suffered devastating damage during World War II, but it still stands strong and stands at an excellent and top level.
In 1823, Beethoven, known as the Saint of Music, once recorded this in his own dialogue collection: "Generally speaking, the Dresden State Symphony Orchestra is the best orchestra in Europe."
Of course, more than 200 years later, the Dresden Symphony Orchestra, which has experienced many ups and downs, no longer has the absolute advantage that once stood at the peak of classical music and has never been rivaled, but no one in the world dares to deny that this great orchestra is One of the world's top symphony orchestras.
And now, the chief conductor of the Dresden Symphony Orchestra... is inviting Qi Mu to watch it!
This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him!
Qi Mu managed to suppress his inner excitement, his fingers tightened slightly, and he nodded vigorously: "Mr. Faller, can I really... go?"
Mr. Faller nodded with a smile: "Of course! Angel, go back and pack up, we'll start tonight!"
Qi Mu immediately started to pack his piano case and planned to go back to pack his luggage, but as soon as he walked out of the piano room, he suddenly remembered: It seems that until now... He hasn't heard the record that was carefully placed in the safe? !
"Mr. Farrer, I suddenly remembered that I haven't heard that record yet. I wonder if you have a better record player that you can lend me, so I can take it to Dresden and listen to it? "
Hearing this, Mr. Faller was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "By the way, you don't know about this Angel. Yesterday, when you were testing, the repair shop had already sent over the record player, and now it is completely complete. It's fixed."
Qi Mu was stunned for a moment, and then he asked subconsciously, "... Has it been repaired?"
Mr. Faller nodded with a smile: "Well, I also saw that vinyl record last time. It has a very beautiful rubber surface. It should be a very good record. Since the record player has been delivered, then Let's go and listen now, Angel."
At Mr. Faller's suggestion, Qi Mu and him put down the things in their hands first and walked to Professor Akkad's lounge.
Standing in front of the door of the lounge, Qi Mu stretched out his hand and gently pushed open the wooden door, and with a "squeak" sound, the gentle and bright sunlight poured down, making him unable to help squinting.
After more than half a month, he finally...
Going to hear that record.
