Chapter 171

After hearing Qi Mus concert with the Palisade Orchestra, Dorenza continued to emphasize how great he was for the Wei Ai members when he arrived.

Its a completely different Ave Maria and Blue Danube! My friends, I swear to the great Strauss that I have never, ever in my life heard such a great interpretation of Blue Danube. Perhaps only young people full of vigor and pa.s.sion can make such great changes!

Of course, verbal praise, alone, from Dorenza would never make the members of the orchestra understand how different this version of Blue Danube was. Whats more, the Palisade Theaters Christmas Eves concert was just a performance dedicated to their old audience. They didnt record the performance so they wouldnt know how it went.

But they werent in a hurry. Isnt Little Seven here now? Why should we worry about not hearing that version of Blue Danube?

With that thought, the members of Wei Ai were all prepared because a concert that earned so much praise from Dorenza could hardly be a normal performance.

But, never in their life would they expect

The moment Qi Mus violin sounded, it was like water drops falling into the sea, perfectly integrated into the sound of the rest of the violins!

It wasnt abrupt or out of place, rather, the violin seemed to be a harbinger of spring, complete with morning dew lacing the flowers. It was impossible to say that the sound was not moving! If anyone says so, then their conscience would have definitely disappeared.

But How the heck did you actually manage such a feat?!!!

This was the first time we have cooperated, okay?!!!

Youre even better than the people who have worked with us for years!!!!!

The elegant and composed melody filled the hall and the wind section, especially the trumpets, roared jubilantly while the strings instruments moved like rippling water, full of tender romance.

Under the leaders.h.i.+p of their new deputy concertmaster, the melody of the first violin group was soft and delicate, flowing in harmony. Even the violinist sitting next to Qi Mu couldnt help but learn from their new deputy concertmaster. They changed the simple, long harmonics to a few short harmonics.

The slight change made Anthony on the podium look at Qi Mu in shock.

Just listening to Qi Mus skillful violin was enough to surprise him. Qi Mu was able to integrate his sound into the orchestras sound right off the bat, but when he noticed that the child managed to directly affect Marys (one of the violinists) sound, he was shocked beyond words.

A genius!

An absolute genius!

He didnt even need a rehearsal to completely integrate his sound with the orchestra and he can even match his style to a companions and make it even more exquisite. Everyone can only sigh when faced with such a talented person!

No wonder Dorenza so seriously recommended Qi Mu at the orchestras meeting. Only now did Anthony understand Mr. Dorenzas intention. Little Seven is so talented. Mr. Dorenza really has vision!!!

Dorenza, who had no idea about what was going on in the rehearsal, looked at a music score in his lounge and sneezed heavily.

It was not surprising that Anthony misunderstood the whole thing. Dorenza, himself, didnt expect that Qi Mu could cooperate so seamlessly with the orchestra in one go.

But, this wasnt a performance. No one could perform this seamlessly with an orchestra they have never worked with before. Even Akkad had to have a test run once or twice when working with a new orchestra.

However, Qi Mu just went on the stage and conquered all the members of Wei Ai with a wonderful Kaiser-Walzer (Emperor Waltz)!

At the time, Qi Mu, who had no idea that he had conquered Wei Ais members and gained their trust, had his eyes drooped to look at his left hand on the fingerboard. His beautifully slender fingers pressed on the strings. Under the dazzling stage light, they looked like jade carvings.

Different violinists have different habits. For example, Farrell often had his eyes closed when playing to immerse himself in the rich emotion of his piece, while Akkad always frowned with a bitter expression on his face.

Although Qi Mu didnt frown like his mentor, he liked to watch his fingers on the fingerboard. To be precise, he preferred to watch as his fingers pressed on the strings, as if he could see the beautiful notes flowing from them. It made him happy.

A magnificent and splendid Emperor Waltzplayed in the s.p.a.cious rehearsal hall. The warm melody and pa.s.sionate tune caused the hall to look as if it was trembling from the resonance.

When the piece ended, Qi Mu put down his bow. With a complicated expression, Anthony asked, Little Seven Tell me, have you listened to us playing this piece hundreds of times before performing this with us?

Qi Mu was a little surprised at the sudden question. Just when he was about to say he hadnt, a voice came up from behind him. Mr. Anthony, have you forgotten that weve never recorded Emperor Waltz at all?!

Soon, another voice joined in, Yeah. Weve recorded Strauss pieces lots of time but we rarely performed Emperor Waltz. If I remember correctly, that son of a b.i.t.c.h Zayev wasnt good at this elegant and solemn piece?

At the mention of that particular name, a wave of disgusted hiss resonated in the whole orchestra.

Several senior members of the orchestra who were close to Zayev were dismissed by Dorenza as early as Zayevs expulsion. Therefore, both on the surface and in the dark, everyone in the orchestra got along happily. They no longer cared about offending certain people.

Naturally, Anthony also was reminded of Zayevs deeds and tutted with a disgusted expression before looking at Qi Mu. He changed the topic. Then, Little Seven, dont tell me this is the first time you listened to our Emperor Waltz

Qi Mu recalled his memories a little before finally saying, Mr. Anthony, this is really the first time I heard Although he has rehea.r.s.ed with Wei Ai a lot of times in his previous life, he had never heard their Emperor Waltz.

Anthony, who felt like an NPC in a FPS game sighed, Well, are all young people nowadays this excellent? I thought that only Auston Bertram, who had perfect pitch and top-notch talent can make people feel the powerlessness of a mortal. I didnt expect you would be the same Oh, yes, Little Seven. You also have perfect pitch, right?

Now that the other part has given him a solid reasoning, Qi Mu readily accepted it. Yes, Mr. Anthony. Because Ive listened to Wei Ai a lot of times before and also because of my hearing, its easier for me to incorporate my sound with the orchestras.

Wei Ais members:

Are you sure youre not the chosen one?!

Even a rocket isnt as fast as you!!!

Qi Mu didnt notice the burning gazes of the other members at all. After pondering for a moment, he said, Mr. Anthony, in fact, I think that in the third part of the second movement, I didnt synchronize well with the orchestra. It seems that we havent mastered the timing in the pause of the trumpets. We need more practice.

Anthony, who had just gained a second life as an NPC but was shot dead once again:

He didnt hear anything wrong in the part Qi Mu mentioned

After the brief episode, the orchestra began the practice session with their respective instruments groups. After all, other than having the whole orchestra in an ensemble, a piece can only be performed neatly when all of the respective instruments groups have mastered their own parts.

At that time, the members of Wei Ai were very happy to have this lovely young man as their deputy concertmaster.

An adaptation of Beethovens D Major already showed them the outstanding skills the young man had. The repeated a.s.surance from Dorenza and the joint recommendations by both Akkad and Auston Bertram gave them plenty of expectations for their new deputy concertmaster.

They werent left disappointed.

In the past few decades, Wei Ai, like Bai Ai, had been one of the top orchestras in the world. However, the crown of the Number One Orchestra had been always in Bai Ais hands, ever since they had Karajan, the maestro of the last century. They performed with infinite glory ever since.

Especially in recent years, with the addition of Christole as their concertmaster, even more people thought that Bai Ai is the worlds number one orchestra.

Zayev was skilled. Among the worlds top violinists, he was even further among the top. But, compared to the gifted prodigy, he didnt have an advantage, considering his experience. Let alone that, his skills seemed to have declined in recent years.

This was also one of the reasons why Wei Ais members chose Qi Mu fearlessly.

Under the bright spotlights, the handsome young man set aside his violin and started to communicate with the members of the orchestra.

The members of the first violin group happily introduced themselves to the young deputy concertmaster while Qi Mu was taken back to memorize the names he already knew from his past life with a smile.

On the first day of Qi Mus arrival at Wei Ai, the members of the orchestra were left with an unforgettably wonderful and harmonious Emperor Waltz.

They needed change, a new breath of fresh air, they needed

(The author has something to say: Innovation and transformation!)

And all of these, maybe this young man would bring it to them.
