A year ago, in the romantic and beautiful city of Paris, the hazy and clear moonlight slowly cast down from the sky, shining on the white and handsome face of the young man, forming a beautiful scene that will be unforgettable for Min Chen.
Since then, a name has been born in the world——
"The twilight in the moonlight".
"Twilight in the Moonlight."
Six months ago, Qi Mu and Min Chen played the song "Twilight" hand in hand. At that time, the tune was very soothing and gentle. Although there was only a short melody, Qi Mu had already felt the exquisite beauty in it.
But now, when the piece is almost in shape, Qi Mu has discovered that the four movements of "Twilight" have reached perfection, both in terms of technical difficulty and emotional expression, seem to have reached a certain peak.
"This turned out to be a piano and violin ensemble sonata?! Wait a minute... Piano and violin... The semi-finished score I saw a few days ago is not this piece, right?!" Qi Mu looked surprised. Min Chen, he thought for a while, then asked, "Is that the score of the violin?!"
Min Chen raised his eyes to look at him: "Well, it's a semi-finished score for the violin, only the last part of the fourth movement is left."
Hearing this answer, Qi Mu could no longer conceal his excitement and joy. He directly sat back on the piano bench and began to carefully ask Min Chen about the details of the piece.
An outstanding musical composition is a supreme treasure for any musician.
And this is a sonata, or an excellent violin sonata, how can Qi Mu not get excited? Now he can't even wait to hear it with his own ears, what kind of song it is.
Probably because of his major in piano, among the pieces written by Min Chen, there are not many violin concertos, most of which are piano concertos. For example, the "Violin Concerto in D Major" that Qi Mu once played at the Centennial Celebration of the S City Symphony Orchestra is one of Min Chen's few violin symphonies.
When Qi Mu had just met Min Chen in China, at the solo recital organized by Lao Tan and Du Sheng, Professor Carl once said: "Oston, your two musical styles are really similar. "
As a representative of the academic school, Professor Carl has a unique and meticulous understanding of classical music and will never make mistakes in judgment. This shows that-
The music styles of Qi Mu and Min Chen are really similar.
This kind of music style sounds very mysterious. It seems that everyone's music style is related to their personal experience and perception. But in fact, even two people with very different life experiences (such as Min Chen and Qi Mu) may indeed have extremely similar musical styles in some respect.
For example, these two people are based on superb technology and have delicate and rich feelings. Their sound processing tends to be more critical and perfect classicism, the sound is orthodox and clear, and the piano sound is euphemistic and charming.
Compared with the gentle and beautiful impressionism and romanticism, the perfect orthodox music like a textbook is the most prominent feature of Qi Mu and Min Chen.
It is precisely in this way that the extreme criticality of the strength, rhythm and height of each note is the result of Qi Mu's gorgeous and clear violin style, and also the gorgeous and gorgeous piano style of Min Chen.
A new violin sonata by a composer who is so close to his own music style?
This is simply the "Bible"!
The tiredness of cleaning up all day suddenly disappeared. With this piano, Qi Mu listened carefully to the piano part of "Twilight under the Moonlight". After the two discussed the four movements about the violin part, Qi Mu simply took his violin and demonstrated it a few times.
The bright moonlight illuminates the piano room, the sun rises in the east and the moon sets in the west, the light in the piano room has not been extinguished all night, and Qi Mu and Qi Mu also discussed the whole night here.
No one felt tired, even when Qi Mu played the next music directly along with Min Chen's unfinished score, the man who had always been indifferent and introverted could no longer conceal his excitement. Min Chen suddenly got up and tightened. The earth hugs the handsome young man in front of him.
Qi Mu's left hand was still holding the handle of the violin, and the right hand was still holding the bow. He had just finished playing the incomplete fourth movement along the melody that suddenly sounded in his heart, and he felt such a warm embrace.
By embracing from behind, Min Chen buried his face in the shoulders of the young man, and his hot breath followed this movement to Qi Mu's collarbone.
"You are my muse..."
It sounded like a murmur.
By this time, Qi Mu finally realized what he had just played. In fact, he himself didn't know how to play the incomplete fourth movement. He just followed his own heart and played the melody that had been clamoring in his brain.
Qi Mu smiled lightly and stretched out his hand to hold Min Chen's hand, and whispered: "Min Chen, I really want to hear Bai Ai play this "Twilight". This is your style, this is also Bai Ai's style... …"
"I want to play with you..."
There was a sudden stagnation in the throat. After a long time, Qi Mu chuckled and nodded: "Well, let's play together."
In the afternoon, Qi Mu personally sent the man to the airport, watching the silver-white plane pierce through the clouds and fly towards Berlin.
Even if there is no sleep all night, Qi Mu is not tired at all, because witnessing the birth of such an exquisite piece of music is a lifetime opportunity for any musician.
After returning to the apartment, Qi Mu simply cleaned up, and then planned to take a good rest and prepare for the next day's work.
When Qi Mu closed the door of the piano room, Min Chen's sigh sounded in his ears: "You can write a beautiful piece, and you can also be an excellent conductor..."
The corners of his lips were slightly raised, Qi Mu shook his head, and deleted this sentence from his brain.
Everyone has their own dreams. Min Chen said frankly that his most lofty dream is to compose beautiful music. To this end, he needs to understand the sound, melody, structure, and even the sounding principle of each instrument. Under such circumstances, he touched the piano and loved such instruments.
For Qi Mu, his dream has always been the violin.
It's just a violin.
Qi Mu will never forget the New Year's concert that Bai Ai heard in the cramped and crowded living room with her adoptive parents in her previous life. The wonderful and outstanding performance of the violin chief made him forever engraved in his heart when he was young, and he could not forget that melody in this life.
For him at the time, it was a piece of beautiful music that I am afraid that he would never be able to reach it in his entire life, imprinted in the deepest part of his heart, and it has become a dreamlike existence.
Even after just a few years, Qi Mu found the violin song-a piece of music from Tchaikovsky's ballet "The Nutcracker". The difficulty is not very high, even better than Min Chen's "Kang". "S March" is much simpler, but Qi Mu can never forget the beautiful timbre of the violin at that time.
What he likes is not The Nutcracker, but the violin. This is his simplest and simplest dream, and it is also the goal he has worked hard for.
...
After the long holiday, Wei Ai began to enter a period of specially invited performances. At the end of last year, Wei Ai had accepted invitations from many parties and was about to perform various performances in various countries and regions, including music festivals and anniversaries with theaters.
So when Min Chen just sent the violin score of "Twilight under the Moonlight" to Vienna, Qi Mu quickly signed for the score. Before he could take it apart, he hurried to Vienna with his luggage and violin. Away from the airport.
When Qi Mu just got off the airport and arrived at the hotel, he received a call from Min Chen before he packed his surname Li. Listening to the voice on the phone, Qi Mu asked in astonishment: "So that is the violin score?!"
Min Chen, who endured the whole day in secret, and finally pretended to call as if nothing had happened: "..."
Qi Mu hung up his towel, and said helplessly: "When I received the express this morning, I was about to go out. Wait a moment... Didn't I tell you that Wei Ai is about to arrive in London? Has the performance been performed? In February, the British royal family issued an invitation letter to Wei Ai. We will perform the performance in four days. Didn't I really tell you?"
Min Chen: "..."
After a moment of silence, he said in a low tone, "Well, you didn't tell me."
Qi Mu pressed her lips and said helplessly: "Well, then I probably forgot. There have been many things in the orchestra in the past half month. I may have wanted to tell you, but I forgot to tell you." Then he said: "It's okay. I have already signed for the score. I will show it when I return to Vienna next month."
As soon as the voice fell, Min Chen's surprised voice sounded: "Next month?"
Qi Mu nodded and said: "Yes, after this London concert is over, there will be a music festival in Chicago a week later. In half a week, we will also have a friendship event with New Ai, so we will be there again. The United States will stay a little longer, and it is estimated that it will return to Europe in a month."
Min Chen: "..."
"Well, don't worry, I will put the things away after seeing your express delivery, so I won't lose them."
"...I want to play with you."
"Ensemble?" Qi Mu was startled slightly, he put aside the things he had packed in his hands, and walked to the window.
I saw that under the dark and deep night, the bright and brilliant lights decorated the city that never sleeps like a milky way. The city's neon lights make the stars all over the sky bleak, but the cold artificial lights also have a unique beauty.
As if to see the low expression of that man at the moment under the same moonlight. Qi Mu
