Forty minutes before the concert, the master and apprentice came out of a small theater where they had just enjoyed a large musical.

Qin Jian's more than two-hour repertoire was in the clouds, and he couldn't understand the Norwegian language of the actors, so he could only try to find this musical created by the new generation of Norwegian composers from the music.

But music makes him even more puzzling, and if he doesn't admit that his lack of identification with twentieth-century music is the only thing he can say: It's a dog.

The Grieg Music Plaza seems to be even more popular this afternoon, and it is not difficult to see from the direction of the crowd that everyone is heading for the last concert.

Sporadic clips of the concert were playing on the oversized screen in the square, with Sabine dressed up on stage as the conductor and Gribex undulating in front of the piano and frontal close-ups of the principal voices of the Helsinki Symphony Orchestra.

Accompanying the scrolling ad music is a huge English title on the screen – 'NationalEpic'

Thirty minutes before the concert began, Qin Jian contacted Duan Hong by phone, and the two had agreed to watch the concert together.

On the phone, the two said goodbye to see you at the gate of the concert hall.

Five minutes later.

In front of the Grieg Concert Hall.

Qin Jian saw Duan Hong, and the old man beside Duan Hong, an old man with a hooked nose and sharp eyes, he knew that this was Bruno, the conductor of the Paris Symphony Orchestra,

Duan Hong introduced Qin Jian to Bruno.

is also an elder, and Bruno's status is higher than Grisbeck's in terms of identity, but Qin Jian's outstretched hands this time received the first response.

When the old and young shook hands, Duan Hong and Liao Linjun also greeted each other, and Duan Hong said, "Congratulations." ’

This congratulations naturally refers to the wedding in November this year, for which Liao Linjun expressed his gratitude and sent out an invitation in advance.

Then Liao Linjun and Bruno also shook hands. The two knew each other that Bruno was very impressed by the woman in front of him, and he was present at the finals of the 14th Medasco Violin Competition, and the Chinese woman took away the 'crystal piano' award that year.

There was no extra pleasantries, and the four of them walked into the concert hall.

Before entering the hall, Qin Jian also called the old bartender, but the other party told him that he didn't have to wait.

...

No matter how noisy the outfield is, when you walk into the Grieg Hall, you will definitely feel a sense of old-fashioned and solemn solemnity.

This was Qin Jian's first feeling.

The boxy hall is brightly lit, with a glass roof and thousands of rotatable seats.

Most of the seats already had spectators, and the seats that were still empty were covered with black velvet covers.

The four of them sat with Duan Hong in a pre-booked position, slightly behind the middle of the entire audience, which was the best listening position for sound effects.

"Weng ———————"

Amid the bustling noise around them, the bell rang for the first time in preparation for the concert, and the audience members who had not yet taken their seats quickened their pace, rushing to their seats through the narrow passageway.

This is common in some ticketing areas, and most of the people sitting around Qin Jian are already chatting about the repertoire of this concert while waiting, they are all musicians or music critics, and they seem to know each other.

The scene where Qin Jian sent a message to Duan Ran happened to be seen by Duan Hong on the side,

Duan Hong smiled, turned his face sideways and said, "Today's repertoire is very exciting. ”

Qin Jian put away his phone when he heard the voice, "Yes, I'm looking forward to it." As he spoke, he couldn't help but think of Rasan in the second half.

Duan Hong: "I heard that you also organized a student orchestra in your school, and you have some experience in commercial performances, why, do you have the idea of conducting a conductor?"

Qin Jian: "It's just a small fight, the command system is too huge, I don't think it's suitable for me." ”

Duan Hong: "Conducting is indeed a profound science, no matter how big it is, you should know more about it, which will be of great help to your future artistic level." “

Qin Jian: "What Uncle Duan said is that he has been taught. ”

As the two were talking, the bell rang overhead for the second time for the concert, and then the third time.

Duan Hong: "It's about to start." ”

As the lights in the hall dimmed, the noise in the auditorium became quieter.

All eyes were on the illuminated stage and the doors to its left and right.

Then the musicians of the Helsinki Symphony Orchestra walked out through two doors.

Soon, the whole stage was stuffed and orderly.

A huge momentum spread from the stage to all directions. Kiss

That's the momentum of a good symphony orchestra, they just have to sit there and do nothing, and they can make people feel a lot of anticipation for what is going to come.

Experienced concertgoers will know that not every piece requires all instruments, but when all the orchestral parts are present, it means that the next piece is a big one.

Now the whole hall is waiting for a person to appear.

Five seconds later.

"Whoop ——————————"

Applause.

The dressed Sabina conductor appeared.

She walked out of the right door of the stage, and as soon as she appeared, it was like affecting the qi of the entire hall, and I believe that at this moment, two thousand pairs of eyes followed her sassy and steady steps.

After 11 years at the helm of the Helsinki Symphony Orchestra, she has already integrated herself into the orchestra, and the moment she turned to the conductor in front of the audience, the whole stage instantly became a whole with her at the center.

This scene made Qin Jian sincerely agree in his heart, this woman really has her own unique charm.

The first song, Ode to Finland, kicked off the concert.

It was written by Sibelius, the great Finnish nationalist composer, during the period when Finland was under the rule of the Russian Tsar.

Sibelius once said that this majestic work was a declaration to the world that 'there is a small country in the Arctic Circle fighting for its survival.' ’

At the beginning of the music, the brass ensemble, with a powerful swing from Sabina, directly reveals a rough and heavy musical motive at the tempo of the Andante.

Under the motive of this suffering, the timpani constantly enhances the tragic atmosphere with vibrato.

The woodwinds and strings respond to each other in a somber and sluggish manner, as if they clash with the noisy brass in a depressive manner, creating a strong dramatic tension.

The music progresses little by little, sometimes wild, sometimes delicate, as the orchestra walks through the theme and presentation step by step.

Finally, the theme is reproduced in the festival motive, and the mood of the music rises again.

Sabina's fierce hands!

The whole work ends powerfully with the triumphant sound of brass.

Quiet.

Moment.

"Whoop ——————————"

Fierce applause rang out.

Qin Jian's suppressed emotions for the whole song were also released at this moment, and his applause was no weaker than that of any of the Finns present.

Bruno, who was separated by a position, was attracted by Qin Jian's applause, and his heart was really an enthusiastic young man.

Underneath the wonderful opening track is one Nordic folk piece after another.

Grieg's Pergent Suite and Sibelius's Symphonie in D major were performed one after the other.

The epic music is glorious and magnificent, and it deserves to be the grand finale.

"Really bite. ”

Qin Jian's heartfelt admiration.

Before you know it, the first half of the show is over.

Qin Jian went to the toilet halfway, and the mobile phone in his pocket vibrate.

Looking at the caller number, he became sensitive.

Calls at this time are indeed sensitive, especially this number.

Before he washed his hands, Qin Jian answered the phone.

"Uncle. ”

Then the old bartender only said two words on the phone.

Moment.

"This~"

Qin Jian's expression was wonderful.
