The warm and welcoming daylight passes through the large window glass and projects into the house. Vienna, which has just entered spring, is now full of fragrant flowers, and even the air is full of fragrant flowers.
Qi Mu and Mr. Dolensa were sitting together by the window. He looked up at the gentle and gentle old man in amazement. He didn't understand what the other party said just now. After waiting for a while, the corners of his mouth quivered slightly, and he asked softly: "Mr. Dorensa...you, don't you want me and Wei Ai to continue to renew the contract?"
The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra is a democratic and free symphony orchestra. No matter who it is, no one can directly decide whether or not any member of the orchestra will go or stay, let alone the chief of the orchestra, even if this person is the lifelong honorary conductor of Wei Ai. Master Albert Dolensa.
But now the orchestra members' meeting has not been held. The meaning of Dolensa's remarks just now is obviously to explain before other members of the orchestra express their hope that Qi Mu and Wei Ai will terminate their contract. Mr. Dorenza did not deny this point: "Yes, Xiaoqi, I think... you should terminate the contract with Wei Ai."
Even though he had been mentally prepared for a long time, but Mr. Dorenza, who he had always respected and loved, had said these words, Qi Mu was completely empty in his heart, and some did not know how to respond. It is true that Mr. Dorenza cannot decide the votes of the members of the orchestra, but his words will have a great impact on these members.
A frustration flashed across his eyes, and Qi Mu soon covered it with a smile, and he lightly nodded: "Okay, Mr. Dorenza, I had expected this day to come." It's just that I don't know, this One day comes so fast.
The youth's lowness was naturally seen by Master Dorenza. The gentle and kind old man stared at the young man in front of him earnestly. The weather-beaten eyes were still as bright as they were when they were young, but the warmth contained in them was powerful. The tolerance makes people even more unable to ignore.
Qi Mu did not notice Mr. Dolensa's expression. He lowered his head and did not say a word, but he heard the other party say: "Little Qi, I still remember... the night of December 24, 2017, we were in Pare In the conductor lounge of the Mori Theater, the scene when you, I, and Walls were talking together. From that day to now...it seems to have been two and a half years ago."
Suddenly hearing this, Qi Mu nodded: "Yes, it has been almost two and a half years since that day, Mr. Dorenza."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Mu was planning to show that he would not be too sad about leaving Wei Ai, and would work harder in the future, but saw Mr. Dorenza shook his head at him.
Looking at the old man's warm smile, Qi Mu's throat instantly choked up, and he didn't know what to say.
Mr. Dorensa recalled: "At that time, your contract with Pareson Theatre was less than one month away. I gave up my old face and hoped that Walls would let you go. Walls was a very good person, a A great conductor, for your future, he let go of you and gave you to me and Wei Ai. Actually you didn't know that Walls had looked for me in private the next day, and he told me that you Will be a very good violinist, hope I can accept you."
Qi Mu never knew these words, but at this moment when he heard these words, he couldn't restrain a warm current flowing from his heart.
At the end of last year, when he attended the Christmas Eve concert at the Parsons Theatre, Mr. Walls did not say these words to him, but strictly urged him to continue working hard. The most important thing is not to forget to visit the theater often .
There are always gentle people in the world who are harsh and harsh in front of you, but behind you they provide you with help you can't see.
Professor Akkad is like this, Mr. Faller is like this, Master Lance is like this, and Commanding Walls is like this...
And now...
"Little Qi, what Walls can do, I think, I should be able to do it too." After a pause, in Qi Mu's surprised eyes, Mr. Dorensa smiled: "Compared to Wei Ai, You should know that you are more suitable for Bai Ai."
Speaking of this, Qi Mu couldn't understand it. He opened his eyes in surprise: "Mr. Dorensa, you want to..."
"I'm sorry about the things in Kedori, but I have to say, Xiaoqi, this is your chance." Mr. Dorenza focused his eyes on Qi Mu's body, and he said solemnly: "I Think... You must have had this idea recently, maybe it was just a momentary idea, but you should have thought about it."
Qi Mu did not deny it.
"Mr. Walls originally handed an outstanding young man into my hands, but now, I hope to hand over my most outstanding chief to Alston. Xiao Qi, your style and Alston Closer, your timbre is more similar to Bai Ai, I can't cut off your chance for my own selfishness, this time it will give you a greater chance of improvement."
Qi Mu murmured: "Mr. Dolensa..."
"So Xiaoqi," the always easy-going and kind old man nodded lightly with a gentle smile: "It's time for you to terminate the contract with Wei Ai. The head recruitment of Bai Ai in May, you should go, you must go, and In June, you should go to Berlin to find a place that suits you better."
No amount of words can express Qi Mu's mood at the moment.
Master Dolensa is right. Within a month of Kedori's departure, Qi Mu was talking on the phone with Min Chen, when he heard the other party say that the chief recruitment event will be held in the early May. Later, he really thought about the possibility of going to Bai Ai by himself.
However, his current life in Wei Ai is very smooth, and his cooperation with the orchestra is also very harmonious. There is no barrier to change. Not surprisingly, he should be able to continue to renew the contract this time, even for more than one year.
Today, however, Mr. Dorenza said: "You need a world that suits you better."
In fact, after the end of Wei Ai's rehearsal yesterday, Chen Lingpin hesitated for a long time, and finally said to Qi Mu: "Little Qi, this time the chief recruitment of Bai Ai is an opportunity for you. Your style is really far from Wei Ai's. It's far not as harmonious as with Bai Ai. Maybe you are worried about Kedori's affairs, but in fact, even if Mr. Elder wakes up now, I think Kedori may not be able to return to Bai Ai within a year. You know Yes, as a top orchestra, it is impossible for Bai Ai to vacate his position as chief and wait for Kedori for a whole year." After a pause, he added: "One year, this is the shortest time."
Qi Mu frowned and replied: "You also said this morning that the possibility of my contract renewal with Wei Ai is greater than 80%."
Chen Lingpin pushed the frame on the bridge of his nose and said calmly: "So, it depends on whether you have this determination and self-confidence. If you have this determination to go to Bai Ai and improve yourself, you also think you can The confidence to become the chief of Bai Ai, then...resign, Xiao Qi."
Chen Lingpin's words made Qi Mu stunned for a long time, and there was no return for a long time.
If this makes others hear Chen Lingpin's words, I am afraid the entire classical music scene will be shocked!
Someone could say to the chief violinist of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra in such a bland way, "Resign!"
That's the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra! That is the chief of Wei Ai! How many violinists dream of a place, but this person simply said "you resign"!
Regarding this matter, Qi Mu did not immediately give an answer. It's not that he doesn't have this self-confidence. Even if Min Chen and the members of Bai Ai can't be selfish, Qi Mu believes in himself and the level of becoming the chief of Bai Ai. but...
He has more things to worry about.
It is true that even if he leaves Wei Ai now, Deputy Chief Monza can take over Qi Mu's burden well, and at least there will be no problems for a few months. But once Qi Mu leaves, it means that Wei Ai will openly recruit the chief and re-select a violinist to lead the orchestra.
After getting along for two and a half years, even if I know that I can get more room for improvement if I leave this band and go to Bai Ai, which is more suitable for me, Qi Mu is still reluctant. Can't bear Mr. Lunza, the members of Wei Ai, can't bear their reluctance to themselves.
Yesterday's situation is still floating in front of us, but now, Qi Mu is looking at Mr. Dolensa who offered to terminate the contract, not knowing what to do.
Thousands of emotions emerged in my heart, and warmth spread across the limbs. In the end, Qi Mu could only pinch his fingers and asked: "But Mr. Dorenza, if I leave, Wei Ai..."
"Vai has me." Mr. Dorenza smiled: "There is also Motto, there is Monsa, there is Daisy..."
Seeing the shocked expression of the youth, Mr. Dorenza concealed the unwillingness in his eyes, smiled and nodded: "Little Qi, you can give me a chance for what Walls can do. An outstanding genius. Shouldn't be imprisoned by any band, he needs room for growth and progress, so Xiao Qi...let me try to let go again."
Qi Mu once said that there has never been anyone in the world willing to refuse New Love to command Mr. Swell. This sentence is still applicable to Mr. Dorenza.
The true gentleness is immersed in his bones. He is not a hypocritical pretense, but the meticulous care he has been with for so many years.
Just like letting go this time, it was also the gentleness of Mr. Dorenza.
At the next member meeting of the Victoria Philharmonic Orchestra, when Mr. Tuckerman, who presided over the meeting, just finished saying "Next, we will start voting on the renewal of the chief Qi Mu", and suddenly listened to always sit next to him. Mr. Dorenza, who spoke a word, coughed slightly, causing all members of the band to gather their sights...
Does not include Qi Mu.
He already knew what Mr. Dorenza would say, and what the result would be. And Mr. Motor, the second conductor on the side, also looked at Dorenza and Qi Mu with a hunch, and seemed to understand what would happen next.
With the gaze of hundreds of people in Wei Ai, the backbone and lifelong honorary commander of Wei Ai stood up and said a long speech in a calm and gentle tone.
As he spoke, everyone in Wei Ai held their breath with respect and listened carefully to the master conductor to express their views. But when he was half talking and the meaning became slightly more obvious, more and more members turned their attention to Qi Mu who was aside.
Their cute mascot, Xiao Qi, is now bowing his head, with no expression on his face, and said nothing.
Some emotional female members had bitten their lower lip, and some sad eyes were red; and Richard of the first violin group choked up directly and cried with discomfort.
In the end, Mr. Dolensa summed it up in one sentence: "What a saker falcon needs is a free and endless sky between the peaks. No matter how good the ocean is, it is not the falcon's home. Let an eagle go where he should go. It's what everyone who loves him should do, and it's also what one can do as a friend, an elder, and a colleague."
"I think
