When the huge black piano was gently pushed off the stage, the entire Wei Ai's first violin group was completely exposed to the sight of all the audience.
For any orchestra, although objectively there is no difference between instrument groups, everyone knows that you can have no second violin group, no double bass group, no trombone group, and no clarinet group. ...
However, you must not live without the first violin group!
This is the voice of the soul of an orchestra!
The violin, known as the queen of musical instruments, is the most important instrument of any orchestra. Together with piano and classical guitar, she is known as the world's three major musical instruments.
Originally, Wei Ai's first violin group had 22 members. Except for Zayev, who was just expelled from the orchestra, there should be 21 members left. But at this moment, Mr. Glatt was surprised to find a strange and familiar face of Huaxia among the 22 full of people!
The well-known music critic recalled a bit, and suddenly realized: This is the new deputy chief of Wei Ai!
But for a moment, he instantly understood one thing...
Could it be that this child played the exquisite sound of the piano just now?
But he remembered that it was introduced in the magazine that this child seemed to be under 25 years old!
If Glatt knew that Qi Mu had just turned 23 this year, he would be completely shocked. A 23-year-old young violinist can perform at the concert of Wei Ai with no less than the chief, and even faintly beyond the style of the piano, is this really a joke of God? !
Obviously, Mr. Dorenza did not give Grat more time to think. He glanced at his chief Anthony, then smiled at the dark-haired young man next to Anthony, then turned to face the audience, and said loudly: "The next song-"Explosion Polka"!"
There was a roar of applause from the audience. When the applause ceased, Mr. Dorensa raised his baton and looked at the drummer sitting at the end of the orchestra, and then—
"boom!!!"
An explosive drum sound ignited the entire song "Exploding Polka"!
On the brightly lit stage, this orchestra from the top level in the world is singing briskly. The flute sounded leisurely, the French horn rattles, the clarinet makes a sonorous sound, and the timpani rumbling adds to the explosive tension.
Said it was nervous, but it was completely impossible for people to experience that kind of fright.
Because in the lively and warm sound of the violin, only joy and pleasure surround the ears of all the audience, people can't help but want to smile, how happy they are at this time!
Strauss and his son have always had the talents of waltz that ordinary people can't match. It is never a wrong decision to put the title of "King of waltz" on this surname.
As the well-known waltz of John Strauss Jr., "Explosion Polka", like his other waltzes, always has a brisk note, flying into the air like elves, dancing in this golden concert hall.
Waltz is a style of music that can make people smile.
When a waltz is sounded, if there is a beautiful lady or a handsome man by your side, don't hesitate to hold him/her by the hand, he/she will definitely not refuse to dance with you.
Because the waltz has such a magical charm, so magical that the Austrians have been addicted to it for hundreds of years.
At this moment, everyone in the auditorium of the concert hall has soft expressions and is already immersed in this beautiful and moving melody, but Mr. Glatt sitting in the first row is obviously an exception.
As a Belgian national treasure-level music critic, since Mr. Glatt was in his 60s, he has basically only written reviews for the world's top orchestras such as Bai Ai, Wei Ai, Niu Ai, and other orchestras. It is difficult for him to find more things that need to be portrayed and conveyed-those things he has written countless times in the past sixty years.
In fact, when Master Glatt entered the Opera de la Moine today, he didn't expect much. He just accepted the idea of "Come and hear what the first show of Wei Ai's tour this year will be like". Wei Ai's invitation, seated in the first row.
Wei Ai has made great progress over the years, but compared with the vibrant and energetic Bai Ai, it seems to fall into the cliche. This year's Wei Ai's New Year's Concert Master Glatt also went. He admitted that after the absence of Leon Zayev, the orchestra has not regressed, but has made some progress, but...
This does not mean that Wei Ai deserves him to write another music review three years later.
Until, he heard this concert.
"A person's power may seem small, but this does not mean that a great person cannot change a band! This is the first time that Alston Bertram has conducted Bai Ai, but it has shown me a unique Bai Ai...... This performance made me believe that the power of one person can change an orchestra. It can even change the whole world! 』
I don't know why, such a sentence suddenly appeared in Master Glatt's mind.
This is what he couldn't help writing in his music review after listening to a concert by Bai Ai 11 years ago.
But now, when he listens carefully to the sound of the young and handsome vice chief of Wei Ai, he seems to have seen the same young and handsome second conductor of Bai Ai 11 years ago, who is now the chief chief of Bai Ai. Command-Min Chen!
As a national-level music critic, Master Gratt naturally has ear power and sound feel unmatched by ordinary people.
He could clearly feel that the young man's violin sound was like high mountains and running water, flowing from the quiet valleys, but he did not appear to be alone. Around the sound of the piano, there are birds singing and flowers blooming, making this "Blasting Polka" even more cheerful and cheerful!
This young man's technique is also very superb, his vibrato is already fine to the extent of finger trembling, and his bow jumping is impeccably precise! Glatt has no doubt that this young man can play a wonderful Paganini, and even... can play amazingly!
This is a review by a critical-sighted music critic, and this passage also appeared in the music review of Master Gratt's Wei Ai concert in Belgium earlier this year. In that eloquent music review with thousands of words, the master described Wei Ai's entire concert as a kind of emerging atmosphere, which he called—
"hope. 』
During the extra time, Wei Ai performed a "Blasting Polka" and a "Hungarian March" by Berlioz. These two passionate songs did not reduce the excitement of the audience at all, but kept the applause for ten minutes.
On the stage, Qi Mu bowed with the orchestra to thank him. His expression was very calm and calm, and there was no change in Junxiu's face. But if someone observes carefully, he will find that his fingers holding the bow are shaking slightly.
The fine and dense sweat permeated from the palm, even in the early spring night when it was not warm, Qi Mu's palm was sweaty. It's not that he won't be nervous, but he is used to dealing with all events with a calm mind and not letting this bad mood defeat him.
In a burst of warm applause, the members of Wei Ai exited in an orderly manner.
Qi Mu had just come to the backstage and hadn't stood still, and suddenly felt that he was being hugged. He only heard an excited male voice rang in his ears: "Oh Xiao Qi! That's great! Did you hear that? The applause under the stage has not stopped so far!"
"Little Qi! I didn't expect you to perform so well! Is it really the first time you have worked with a large orchestra?"
"I was so scared to faint when I accidentally missed a beat just now, thank you Xiao Qi for bringing me back!"
...
These members, who had just performed extremely gentlemen and ladies on the stage, immediately "reappeared" as soon as they left the shroud of the spotlight. One by one, they excitedly embraced their lovely deputy chief, encouraging and congratulating each other, until Mr. Anthony yelled, they scowled and dispersed.
Qi Mu was finally liberated.
He carefully put his violin into the case. Before putting the bow down, he heard Mr. Anthony say: "Little Qi, I seemed to hear Karl missed a beat when playing "Walstein" just now. , Did you bring him back?"
Hearing this, Qi Mu smiled and raised his head and nodded: "Yes, Karl accidentally slowed down in the fifth section. It's not a big deal. I was worried that he was a little nervous, so I took him with the piano. Come back a bit."
Qi Mu spoke lightly and calmly, as if he had done a trivial thing, but Anthony knew that he wanted to calm a musician's emotions on the stage and let him return to the ensemble of the orchestra the fastest. What a difficult thing this is!
Satisfied and admired eyes stayed on the youth's face for a long time. Mr. Anthony said with emotion: "Little Qi, you are so humble that I don't know how to reward you. You said, how to reward you?"
It was the first time that Qi Mu heard someone ask "How should I reward you" in person. He thought about it carefully and asked in a serious tone: "...or else, you can let me listen to the one you treasured." Is it the record that Master Karajan and Wei Ai collaborated in the last century?"
"No talk! This is no talk!"
Qi Mu: "..." You obviously said you want to ask me what rewards I want!
Seeing the helpless look of the youth, Anthony seemed to see his lovely little grandson, who is also such a handsome... Well, it seems that no Xiao Qi looks so beautiful, of course they are all equally cute!
He thought for a while and smiled: "By the way, Xiao Qi, do you know that there is a customary rule in Wei Ai Li..."
Upon hearing this, Qi Mu was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously shook his head: "I don't know."
He never had time to perform with this orchestra in his previous life, and it was the first time in his life, so he really didn't know when there was a strange rule.
I saw Mr. Anthony smile slightly and said meaningfully: "Little Qi, you have entered the orchestra for the first time. This is also the first time you have performed with the orchestra. Of course, there must be a memorial..." With a long tone, I looked at the members of the Victoria Philharmonic Orchestra, "Hey, everyone, when do you think it would be better for Xiaoqi to perform tonight?!"
As soon as the voice fell, the whole backstage was completely exploded!
"God, I forgot that Xiao Qi was performing in public with the orchestra for the first time?! That must be performed!"
"That's right, let Xiaoqi perform quickly!"
"Hahahaha, I wonder if Xiaoqi can perform in a few minutes! Will it set a new record for our orchestra?!"
...
The more I listened, the more Qi Mu felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Did he seem to have heard such words somewhere?
I saw Mr. Anthony turned his head with a faint smile, and joked: "Little Seven, we are not bullying you. Every member of Wei Ai has to perform "Infinite Motion" after the first performance. If you can be there The performance is finished within 3 minutes and 33 seconds, there is no problem. But if you exceed this time..."
"Little Qi! I want your autograph, my niece likes you!"
"Hey, don't grab my lines, I don't want Xiao Qi's autograph, I want to hug! Damn, I didn't let me hold the cute Xiao Qi just now."
"Hey hey hey, Du La, your son is older than Xiao Qi, why do you woman want to eat other Xiao Qi's tofu!"
"Can't it? I just like cute Xiaoqi, how about?!"
...
Qi Mu listened to the words of the orchestra members, and Mr. Anthony smiled and said: "3 minutes and 33 seconds are really not for us to toss you, Xiao Qi, I heard that this is when Kedori just entered Bai Ai. At the time of the interview, they played the scores during the interview. These little guys can be tortured by Kedori's performance for many years. If no one can break the record of Kedori, then wouldn't our Wei Ai always lower them? Love it?"
Although he said that, Mr. Anthony didn't have a hint of sympathy in his tone. Instead, he was already thinking about what he wanted to ask his deputy chief.
Once the performance time exceeds 3 minutes and 33 seconds, it must agree to a request from all the band members present. Of course, it will only be a very simple requirement that can be achieved immediately, and it will not deliberately embarrass people.
I saw that under the dazzling and brilliant light, the handsome face of the young man looked like a human being, making it impossible to look away. The noisy voices in the background gradually disappeared a lot, but Qi Mu smiled slightly and asked, "Is it 3 minutes and 33 seconds?"
Mr. Anthony also felt embarrassed for such a cute child. It was a bit too much: "Why... 3 minutes and 35 seconds?"
"No, if you want to break the record of Ketori, you don't need to modify it
