Guarneri del Gesu, after Stradivari, is the world's best violin maker.
The life of this master violin maker is not long, only 46 years, but in these 46 years of precious time, he has produced 135 violins and a cello, each with its unique name , And well-known in the world.
Probably the most well-known one belongs to the "cannon". The name of this "cannon" has become a myth in the hearts of violinists all over the world along with his owner, Paganini. Any violinist takes "being able to play music with that violin" as the most proud of his life. Things.
Of course, this is not to say that the tone and quality of the "cannon" must be the best in the world. Every Guarneri violin has extremely strong strength and wild tension, and the sound is mellow and rough, as if the wildest in the world. A steed is difficult for ordinary people to control.
At this moment, Qi Mu was holding such a heavy key, and he didn't know how to choose--
The meeting ceremony was too expensive, which made him a little worried.
Every Guarneri Violin can be auctioned for sky-high prices, and there have even been auctions of millions or tens of millions of euros. There are only 135 pianos in this series. Qi Mu used to only know some of the more famous "Cannon" and "Jesse", but now...when Min Chen mentioned "Kedong" In my own memory, I recalled the violin I once saw in the museum.
According to Min Chen, this piano has been kept by the Bertram family forty years ago, and before his birth, it was given to his mother by his father as a dowry gift, and it was indeed loaned to the museum afterwards. Have been exhibited. Now, since his mother gave Qi Mu the key to the piano, the piano belongs to Qi Mu.
For this incident, Min Chen even showed more enthusiasm than Qi Mu. On the third day after Liz left, he asked him to take out the heavy box from the Swiss bank and sent it directly to Qi Mu. , Just waiting to let him out of the box.
Now that the time has come, Qi Mu had to carefully take out the bronze key from the safe at home, and then moved the box into the piano room and placed it directly on the lacquered black grand piano panel. , And finally looked at the dark keyhole seriously.
Qi Mu took a deep breath, then slowly spit it out, then... gently inserted the key into the small keyhole. With a crisp sound of the opening and closing of the lock and key, Qi Mu opened the lid seriously and solemnly, and then gently took out the dark black piano case.
When "Ke Dong" appeared in the air, it seemed that even time had stagnated for a moment. The bold and unruly streamlined structure, the long and narrow body, on both sides of the fingerboard are the most characteristic vertical stripes of Gua's piano. The broad body seems to imply what will happen when the air reverberates in the body. Thick and powerful sound!
At the first sight of him, Qi Mu understood that "Ke Dong" is a very different violin from "Edith"! If the former is a wild and unruly warrior with a rough and heroic voice, then the latter is the Wenya princess on Gaoling with a high and sharp sound.
The white and slender fingers of the youth lightly stroked the strings of "Ke Dong", and the metallic strings reflected the hazy and bright moonlight. It seemed that they could not wait to be ready to perform, after decades. , Once again show their glory to the world!
Facing such a strong and fit violin, Qi Mu has absolutely no way to resist. He immediately tuned it, smeared it with rosin, and then played a "Devil's Trill" directly in the piano room!
The majestic and majestic sound echoed in the quiet piano room, and when the song ended, the remaining sound was curled up and still reverberated.
Qi Mu already knows who is more suitable for what kind of repertoire between "Kedong" and "Edith", and knows how to best use them in the future.
However, Qi Mu at this moment did not expect that in the next few decades, it will be these two excellent violins-Sishiqin "Edith" and Gua Shiqin "Kidong" who will spend with him. After a long and bright time, together with the name "Qi Mu", it has become a myth of the age!
After receiving this violin, Qi Mu asked Min Chen, and must bring her most lofty gratitude to the lady Analia Bertram.
In this regard, Min Chen responded in a low voice, but when Christmas Eve approached, the two couples who had been around from Australia and finally returned home showed up without Min Chen even speaking. The beautiful and elegant lady who was somewhat similar to Min Chen hugged her son and said with a smile: "Min Chen, how about the betrothal gift your mother gave to your daughter-in-law? He must like it very much!"
The handsome and precious man was looking down at the newspaper at this time, and was suddenly hugged so violently. He broke free from the warm embrace of his mother without changing his face, and then said calmly, "The bride price?"
Anna smiled and said: "Yes, that'Ke Dong' is a very good violin, isn't your wife a violinist? Anyway, your violin level is just like that. Give this'Ke Dong' Your wife is fine."
Hearing this, Min Chen solemnly put down the newspaper in his hand, raised his head and asked, "This is the bride price?"
Anna was taken aback for a moment: "This is not a dowry?" It can't be a dowry...
"not enough."
"Eh?!"
"I remember that the family also treasured a score for the violin concerto written by Mozart, and a score for Haydn's symphony. If I remember more clearly, it seems that some of the out-of-print records of Mr. Karajan are also well put. In the warehouse, hasn't it been taken out? Oh yes, there are a few albums of Menuhin, and..."
The Bertrams: "..."
After talking for five minutes, Min Chen hesitated for a while and decided to end the topic temporarily. Then he looked up at the Bertram and his wife who had been completely dumbfounded, smiled and curled their lips: "Aren't these... shouldn't they all be a bride price?"
Mr. and Mrs. Bertram: "......"
You are going to vacate the house ah ah ah ah! ! ! ! ! !
Okay, if you have a wife, forget your mother! !
Time flies by, when 2018 is approaching, at noon on the 30th, Qi Mu is going to take Professor Akad and Mr. Lance who came to Vienna to listen to the live New Year concert in Berlin. . But he had just picked up Mr. Lance to the building of the Friends of Music Association when he received a call.
The girl on the other side of the phone said: "Sister-in-law! I heard Brother Auston said that you are coming to Berlin to listen to the live New Year's concert this year! Vienna and Berlin are so far apart, and you were too anxious to rush back that night. So I came to pick you up! Sister-in-law, why don't you speak?"
Qi Mu: "..."
Take your "sister-in-law" back, and I will talk to you!
After being depressed for a long time, Qi Mu sighed and said: "Liz, don't worry about it. I will drive the teacher and Master Lance tonight. The three of us walk together. It is very convenient and not in a hurry. ."
Did this girl come to pick him up from Berlin and Vienna? This is too exaggerated. He drove over by himself, so why bother to bother Liz to drive over so enthusiastically?
Unexpectedly, after listening to Qi Mu's words, the young girl strongly refused: "No, my sister-in-law, I have come to Vienna! Wait a minute, I'm almost at the building of the Friends of Music Association, look up, I I will come to you soon!"
When he heard the word "head up", Qi Mu had a bad premonition in his heart. When he heard the buzzing from above his head, Qi Mu looked up subconsciously, and his eyes froze when he touched the girl who kept waving at him.
Qi Mu: "......"
Is there such a show of wealth! ! ! !
Although Liz's behavior made Qi Mu feel completely shocked, it was indeed just like what she said. It really saved a lot of time to fly back and forth between Berlin and Vienna by helicopter. Qi Mu even felt that he had just boarded. Helicopter, arrived in Berlin in the blink of an eye.
In any case, this time Qi Mu has fulfilled the promise he made to Master Lance a year ago: "Take him and his teacher to the Berlin Philharmonic Concert Hall and listen to a live Bai Ai New Year's Concert. 』
After the concert was over, Qi Mu was still in a hurry to catch Wei Ai's New Year's concert the next day, so they didn't wait for Min Chen's interview to end, so they left first. When they were about to arrive in Vienna by helicopter, Qi Mu suddenly received a text message.
Min Chen: [...You are not waiting for me. ]
Although there are only four short words, the strong resentment is directly expressed.
Qi Mu didn't even need to think about it, and could guess what the man's look was like now. It is estimated that he was still holding on to his calm appearance, and by the way, he "vented" Daniel. After all, how do you say that sentence?
"It's all Daniel's fault. 』
Qi Mu: [I'm too late, so I will come back first. The performance tonight was very good, and I saw many audiences clapping with excitement. The teacher also praised you, saying that your style is becoming more and more tense, but there is no lack of convergence. ]
There was silence on the phone for a while, and then Min Chen sent another text message: [Even if you praise me, I am angry. ]
Qi Mu: "..."
Who wants you to calm down! ! !
After being speechless for a while, Qi Mu simply changed the subject: [By the way, when Liz came to pick me up today, I suddenly realized...the original name "Bertlem" is so important. But compared to Liz, you are so poor, Min Chen...]
While typing, Qi Mu couldn't help but chuckle. He could guess that when the man saw this text message, his face must have gone dark, and he quickly responded to him...
Huh, the text message came so soon? !
Min Chen: [...I am thrifty. ]
Qi Mu: "..."
So you just drive the European economy? ! ! ! !
