621. "Who is he?"

Backstage stories are always talked about.

If today's scene is spread, it will definitely be written by many music critics in the music criticism of this concert.

If the concert itself is a dish, then this kind of storytelling that goes beyond the music itself is a high-end condiment, which will make the main plot of the concert more dramatic.

If you add in the deep repertoire and jaw-dropping performances, aha, it's really wonderful.

People never hate the twists and turns of the story, and occasionally they don't even need to be reasonable, as long as there is a good script, even if it is staged outside the screen stage, everyone loves to watch it, because there is something to watch.

Today, the backstage of the Grieg Music Hall is taking place with such a good show.

And all this is still unknown to the audience outside the venue.

No one knows what just happened there.

But there was one thing that everyone agreed on at the outset – the spirit of participation

The famous music critic Iverson once likened a concert to an adventure with an uncertain ending, and although everything was ready, well prepared, and thought of all possible obstacles and risks, and did not listen to any external circumstances, it was still an adventure.

No one can predict for sure whether the show will eventually go as planned.

But people are eager for it to begin, and the performers and audiences who are directly involved are eager to live this adventure together and experience a happy ending together.

Indeed, there are also viewers looking forward to it, and they are all part of the adventure.

There are a lot of Griesbeck fans here today, and they are still waiting for their idol to take the stage.

"Buzz ————"

The bell for the opening of the second half of the concert rang again, the audience took their seats, and the doors of the concert hall closed again.

The doors on both sides of the stage opened again, and the musicians took the stage again.

They took their seats and began the final instrumental tuning.

Different from the stage set in the first half, in the second half of the stage, there is an oversized black grand piano in the center of the stage, in front of the conductor's podium.

The nine-inch Steinway & Sons Triangle D274S was glowing black, and the first-row audience even got up and walked to the stage fence to get an extended selfie stick and touch the piano feet.

As the orchestra's correction ended, the entire concert hall was surprisingly quiet at the same time.

It's a strange quiet, hard to describe.

Everyone stared at the open door at the backstage entrance.

As if preparing for a momentous moment, many people even hold their breath and try to give it their full attention.

It's a mixture of nervous anticipation and uncertainty.

The minutes passed, and the silence continued until a minute had passed.

Some viewers are starting to get nervous.

People are used to constant movement, and something is always going to happen, otherwise they feel a 'terrifying void,' which is an irrational fear of the void.

But this void is far from being completely suspended, and it is no different in music.

Like a dramatic element, it can play an important role in creating and maintaining tension, enhancing and prolonging the effect, preparing for sudden shifts, and heralding new developments.

The same is true between the staging of the performers and conductors before the actual performance.

On the other hand, this is the norm.

This is true for both regular concert audiences and musicians.

Especially experienced conductors have long been accustomed to this kind of tense moment before the start of large-scale repertoire, Bruno unhurriedly played with the golden ring on his thumb, while Duan Hong and Liao Linjun also waited unhurriedly.

It's just that three minutes have passed, five minutes have passed.

That's a bit of an anomaly.

Liao Linjun couldn't help but grab the handle of the audience.

Suddenly!

"Smack!"

Someone in the audience applauded, followed by others, and the audience began to applaud.

The applause was one after another.

Liao Linjun lost his mind and quickly reacted and applauded. 361 Reading

The conductor came out.

Sabine was smiling as she walked to the second violin section when the band stood en masse.

The applause from the audience was even more enthusiastic.

Then she passed a row of musicians, walked up to the bandmaster, and bowed to the audience.

Liao Linjun's eyes were still firmly fixed on the entrance of the backstage, and her heart that she had just put down was raised again.

At the same time, many audience members also noticed the strangeness on the stage, and the old fans almost shouted: "Where's the short Griesbeck?"

The pianist did not appear, and the applause did not stop, but continued with an increased volume.

Moment.

"This?"

A surprised voice sounded from the left side of the auditorium, and it was an old man who looked incredulously at the tall and straight figure coming out of the right door, or rather the angle of his seat was the first place where the pianist could be seen.

At this time, it was already known that the second half of the concert, which had been delayed for nearly five minutes, was due to a temporary change of performers in the middle of the concert.

Then accompanied by applause with a weak downward trend, one after another exclamations and question marks sounded throughout the audience.

All the eyes of the audience were once again attracted by the new figure on the stage.

It's not threatening, it's not aggressive, the figure just walks out of the background.

But he exudes an indescribable temperament.

Steady pace, appropriate stride, gentle eyes, casual dressing.

He is like an elegant gentleman who walked out of Proust's "Reminiscences".

It's like coming to Thomas's incarnation of Adrian Levequin in Doctor Faust, who just came out of the salon banquet of the Guermante family.

Maybe he made everyone wait too long.

His final appearance brought a little pressure to everyone's hearts at this time.

When he passed by the orchestra's principal violin, he calmly shook hands with each other, with manners and posture like a sophisticated professional performer.

He smiled and hugged the conductor, and then sat down at the piano.

Under the upgraded camera, his every move seems to have a magical power, making it impossible to take his eyes off him for half a moment.

The black figure and the black Steinway and Sons instantly blended together on the golden stage.

The most excited people in the audience at the moment must be the music critics, who have not seen such a bright dye in a long time.

Obviously, no one knows what the next scene will be.

It seems that not many people care about where Grisbeck has gone anymore?

Instead, they were already desperate to know what was the surname of the young man sitting at the piano at this time?

But very few who can give an answer have already entered the state of listening.

The applause fell naturally.

After Sabina and Qin Jian looked at each other for the last time, she stepped onto the conductor's stage, and she handed her back to the piano and to the audience.

Qin Jian seemed to have captured the motive that suddenly appeared on the stage at this moment.

This is a kind of sensitivity that comes from the soloist's perception of the conductor's platform.

The moment Sabina raised her hand, he met the warm light diagonally above the stage.

Bathed in golden light, he was inspired by purple lilacs.

'Do you use Chris's Insane Potion?'

The baton fell, and the sound rose on the stage.

Melancholy clarinets blow the wind of the birch forest, and bass strings are like waves of the Volga.

Intertwined with the long years of the Slavs.

Small drum rustle, small drum rustle.

Trembling like Qin Jian's infinite throbbing in his heart at this moment.
