Seven o'clock in the evening.

Chinese tourists who had had dinner began to gather at the Vienna Musikverein.

In order to prevent the audience from listening to the concert for the first time, they are not familiar with the etiquette of the concert.

Ark Culture began to popularize science on the online platform a week in advance.

The first is the time of entry.

It's not the same as watching a movie, if you're late for a movie, you can watch it for a few minutes less.

It is best to enter the concert fifteen minutes early.

Whether you can still enter if you are late depends on the specific regulations of the organizer.

For some concerts, late arrivals will be arranged to enter between the two pieces.

The second etiquette is to dress as formally as possible, although most concerts are not as strict, but you also need to dress as formally.

Third, during the performance, you are not allowed to answer the phone, you are not allowed to make loud noises, and you are not allowed to make comparisons and frequently leave the table.

During the concert, it is not allowed to leave the venue in the middle of the concert. If you need to leave early for special reasons, it is best to leave quietly at the end of a piece.

Ni Hongdan was also in the live broadcast room, popularizing these concert etiquette to netizens:

"I don't actually go to many concerts, maybe four or five times.

"Then there is the applause, I suggest that the audience who don't know when to applaud should simply not applaud, and when the concert is over and the conductor turns around for a curtain call, it is enough to applaud everyone.

"Of course, there is a time to applaud in the middle of the concert, that is, in the middle of each movement, but for most listeners, they are not familiar with the music, so in order to avoid embarrassment, it is better to listen quietly.

"It's 7:10 a.m., and there's already an audience in there, and I've seen a lot of people entering the venue just now, and about half of them are Asian faces.

"It seems that there are still quite a few compatriots from China who come to the concert.

"It's almost time, and it's best to get in fifteen minutes early to attend the concert.

"It's almost 7:15 a.m., we go to check in first, and after we enter, we can't continue the live broadcast."

Ni Hongdan said, walked towards the main entrance of the Golden Hall, began to check in and entered, and then turned off the live broadcast and turned his mobile phone into airplane mode.

……

The first row of the auditorium in the Golden Hall.

Fang Xing sat in his seat, and unfortunately there was a violinist he had met next to him, Patrick Pate.

This Patrick Pate was the silver medal of the Paganini International Violin Competition.

Of course, the Paganini Silver Medal is only a trophy in his life, not the whole of his life.

After the Paganini International Violin Competition, Patrick Pate developed in a very orderly manner and is now one of Austria's most famous violinists.

He has participated in all three major international violin competitions and won two of them.

The reason why he sat in the first row was not to grab a ticket to come in.

In fact, tickets for the first row of seats, which are not on sale, are reserved tickets.

For example, sitting on the other side of Fang Xing is Zhang Huiying, the queen of the music scene.

Zhang Huiying's ticket was obtained from Qiao Yinghong, and then she sat next to Fang Xing.

The tickets in the first row are all given out like this.

But. Patrick Pate's ticket was not obtained from Ark Culture, but from the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.

Today's concert is the investment of Ark Culture, and Lu Xianger and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra collaborated.

Therefore, the reserved tickets in the first row are not only available for Ark Culture, but also for the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.

Patrick Pate gave a concert at the Golden Hall at the beginning of the year.

Moreover, Patrick Pate is Austrian himself and has worked with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra many times.

Therefore, it is not surprising that he was able to get a ticket in the first row.

“Hello.”

After sitting down, Patrick Pate took the initiative to extend his hand to Fang Xing to greet him.

"Hello." Fang Xing also responded in English.

"I remember you, you're a pianist." Patrick Pate raised his hands and made a piano play.

He did remember Fang Xing.

At the Paganini International Violin Competition, Fang Xing played the piano on stage and accompanied Lu Xiang'er.

"I'm not a pianist, I just know a little bit of piano." Fang Xing smiled and said modestly.

"I've seen about you on the news, you're Miss Lu's lover." Patrick Pate continued to make small talk.

Fang Xing responded politely and casually.

The concert hasn't officially started yet, so let's have a few words.

The reason why Patrick Pate is sitting here is because he came to Lu Xiang'er.

The reason is because of the Paganini International Violin Competition, Lu Xianger won the gold medal, while he only won the silver medal.

Since that time, Lu Xianger has never appeared on the European stage again.

This time, Lu Xianger's cooperation with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra aroused his interest, so he wanted to come to the scene to hear whether this oriental player who was supposed to be him had improved.

Three years have passed, and Patrick Pate is already a very famous Austrian violinist, which can be said to be a success, but he still can't let go of the obsession with the silver medal.

Patrick Pate reached into his suit pocket, hesitated, and pulled his hand out again.

……

The other side.

Zhang Huiying stretched out her hand and pulled Fang Xing's sleeve, leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Who is the one next to you?" ”

"Austrian violinist is more famous. There is a nickname in China, the Paganini Silver Award. Fang Xing replied in a low voice.

It was spoken in Chinese, so Patrick Pate next to him couldn't understand it even if he heard it.

Zhang Huiying immediately knew who it was.

She had heard that Lu Xianger won the Paganini Gold Award, and she had also heard domestic netizens mention the silver award winner.

However, she didn't pay special attention to the silver winner's photo, so she didn't recognize it at first.

At this time.

The time came to half-past seven.

The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra enters the arena and takes their seats and waits for the show to begin.

After all the musicians were in place, Lu Xiang'er wore a beige evening dress and walked out from the left, holding a violin in one hand and a bow in the other.

She walked over to the podium, bowed her head slightly, closed her eyes, and adjusted her breathing.

Immediately afterwards, the orchestra conductor walked out from the right, stood in front of the conductor's podium, and opened the score on the stage.

From the moment the orchestra entered, all the audience members sat down and kept quiet.

Even those who had not attended the concert were seated in accordance with the etiquette of the concert, ready to listen to the concert.

The orchestra conductor glances around to make sure everyone is ready, then raises his hands and conducts the orchestra to begin playing Tchaikovsky's Concerto in D major.

Melodious string music ripples through the Golden Hall.

From the first movement of the Violin Concerto in D major, there is a strong Russian symphonic style, with constant changes in tempo and joyful jumps of notes in the concert hall.

The previous symphony orchestras were all preparing for the appearance of the violin soloist.

Lu Xiang'er kept listening to music with her eyes closed, and her thoughts were floating in the air with the music.

Then, the orchestra conductor looked at Lu Xiang'er, raised his baton and tapped it lightly.

Lu Xiang'er's violin joined, pushing the music to the first climax.

The violin, as the main character, plays a string of melodious melodies with a soft timbre that evokes rich associations.

Immediately afterwards, the violin solo and the ensemble begin to alternate, revealing the best parts of the first movement.

The beautiful notes, echoing in the Golden Hall, made the audience feel the emotion of the dance, and the cheerful atmosphere went straight to the bottom of the audience's heart.

There were nearly 2,000 spectators at the scene, and nearly half of them flew in from China.

Among them, a small half of the Chinese audience participated in the concert for the first time.

In the eyes of the public, this kind of pure music performance without lyrics will be a little boring.

But that's just a popular stereotype of a symphony orchestra.

The Chinese audience, who participated in the concert for the first time, heard the cheerful melody expressed by the violin and the orchestra playing alternately, and their hearts were completely taken away by the notes, and they were fully integrated into the music.

The beautiful symphony, combined with the unique design of the concert hall, makes the music seem to echo in the ears, and the hearing experience is excellent.

Some viewers even couldn't help but want to applaud, but when they raised their hands, they quickly held back.

Many audience members began to close their eyes and listen to the music with all their hearts.

The concert went on.

Wait until the Concerto in D major is finished.

The orchestra conductor turned around and bowed to the audience together with Lu Xiang'er.

The scene immediately burst into warm applause.

Many Chinese audience members who participated in the concert for the first time did not dare to applaud at first, but when they saw that the whole audience was applauding, they also applauded along.

At the end of the first piece, it is indeed a time to applaud.

The conductor of the orchestra turned around and bowed to the audience, also signaling that the audience could interact for a short time.

The applause lasted for half a minute, then slowly quieted down.

The orchestra conductor turned back and faced the entire symphony orchestra.

After a few minutes of preparation, the theme song of tonight's concert, "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", officially began.

This violin concerto was performed at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games two years ago, so it is not a little-known piece.

However, for most of the foreign audiences at the scene, this concerto is still relatively unfamiliar.

It's just that after the melodious string music sounded, the music with Chinese characteristics reverberated in the golden hall, which suddenly made the foreign audience feel a different sense of hearing.

This kind of melody with Chinese characteristics is refreshing to foreign audiences.

Most of the foreign spectators present were for the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.

After all, the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra is one of the top two symphony orchestras in Austria and has a high reputation in its own right.

Every concert of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra is attended by a loyal audience.

Most of the Chinese audience at the scene came to Lu Xiang'er, after all, Ark Culture has been promoted in China.

The two audience groups, when they heard "Liang Zhu", their first feeling was completely different.

For domestic audiences, they have more or less heard the concerto "Liang Zhu", after all, there are many audiences who have watched the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

With the melody of "Liang Zhu" blooming.

Lu Xianger's emotions became stronger and stronger, and the sound of the violin was so cheerful, just like two young people from first acquaintance to love, the strong love and shy feelings were intertwined, which made people can't help but admire.

Now the audience who comes to the concert has a relatively higher musical literacy, so they feel the emotions poured out in the melody more obviously.

Therefore, most of the audience can hear the feelings expressed by the violin, which is the joy and shyness of the first bloom of a girl's love.

Among the most musically literate listeners in the live scene, Patrick Pate is definitely one of them.

It wasn't the first time he had heard this concerto.

After all, this concerto was played at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and Lu Xianger was the main instrument, so he listened to it specifically.

However, he listened to the CD version, and this was the first time he had listened to the scene.

For ordinary people, the gap between the CD version and listening to the live may not be big.

But for a virtuoso of Patrick Pate's calibre, the difference between the two is too great.

The CD version of the music is "dead", it is recorded and then played, and in the process of recording and playing, the song is actually not the original one.

It's like a world famous painting in an art textbook, which is exactly the same as the real thing, but it's not real, and there is a difference between it and the painting you see on the spot.

It's the same with music.

Therefore, Patrick Pate heard the live performance of "Liang Zhu", and the expression on his face was very wonderful.

He felt the simple and strong love in the sound of the piano.

It's so cheerful that it seems as if every cell is beating.

He is very sure that the "Liang Zhu" played by Lu Xianger now is countless times better than what he heard on the CD.

Moreover, Patrick Pate still heard a hint of surprise in the sound of the violin, as if he was looking for something.

This layer of emotion is very subtle, and ordinary people can't hear it at all.

Patrick Pate could hear it.

Originally, in the concerto "Liang Zhu", the sound of the violin and the piano will be linked, just like two men and women who know each other and love each other.

However, Patrick Pate could hear that the sound of the piano was not what the violin wanted.

Although the two voices work well together, the violin seems to be looking for the sound she really misses.

This nuance surprised Patrick Pate even more.

Hearing this subtle change of emotion doesn't mean the show has failed.

In fact, the violin and orchestra work well together and play perfectly.

As for the subtle expression of emotion, that's what art stands for.

Different times, different places, and the notes played will have different expressions, which is the realm pursued by art.

As the concerto of "Liang Zhu" continues, it reaches the second half.

The story of "Liang Zhu" began to rise and fall, and the melody changed from the joy of knowing and loving each other at the beginning to the joys and sorrows of crying.

The audience was carried away by the melody and felt the sadness in the music.

Until the end, the two protagonists of "Liang Zhu" turned into butterflies, and the music was sublimated again and rushed to a climax.

The audience exhaled heavily.

After the performance of "Liang Zhu", the orchestra conductor turned around again and bowed to the audience with Lu Xianger to thank him.

The scene once again burst into warm applause.

Not only the Chinese audience is applauding, but also the foreign audience.

Obviously, this violin concerto conquered this audience for the first time.
