Chapter 170 (2/2)

They even played a Strauss waltz to celebrate the end of tea!!!

The members of Wei Ai naturally didn’t understand Qi Mu’s helplessness. He also liked the waltz, but Qi Mu certainly wasn’t as crazy as Wei Ai’s members.

As soon as he stepped onstage, he heard a fat, redhead man sitting on the outer edge of the orchestra laugh and say, “Little Seven, you’re so unlucky! We just finished a waltz, then we’ll have a single hour of training for each instrument group.”

“Yes, Little Seven, it’s a pity that you didn’t participate in such wonderful music!”

“By the way, Little Seven, at the Christmas Eve concert at the Palisade Theatre, I heard Dorenza say that you played 《Emperor Waltz》and 《The Blue Danube》! I’d like to suggest that we have another waltz, okay?” As he spoke, the trumpeter stood up and looked at all the others in the orchestra.

Qi Mu: “……”

Others responded, “Well, choose 《Emperor Waltz》or 《The Blue Danube》and we’ll play it together at the end of the afternoon rehearsal!”

Qi Mu: “……”

Did Vienna use 《The Blue Danube》for every orchestra to finish rehearsal?!

Why did he never do this in Weijiao before!!!

However, Qi Mu didn’t refuse the trumpeter’s good intentions. When he first came to the orchestra, it would be best to get along well with everyone. At the time, playing a straightforward ensemble would not only help him quickly integrate into the orchestra, but also understand how he should accept or reject the orchestra.

Without affection, Qi Mu directly took his little violin out of its case. He simply began tuning the violin, and before wiping the rosin, he heard Anthony praise, “That violin is so beautiful, Little Seven.”

Qi Mu was a little stunned. At the time, some members of the first group of violins recognized his violin. “Is that an imitation of the Stradivarius style violins? It’s really beautiful!”

Qi Mu nodded. “Yes, this is an imitation Stradivarius violin.”

While Qi Mu was applying the rosin, members of the orchestra had a heated discussion on several of the only surviving Stradivarius violins that could be played in public. Some even directly mentioned the name of “Cannon”, a well deserved treasure in the world of violins.

Listening to the members’ conversation, Qi Mu couldn’t help but chuckle.

He didn’t care too much about the “Cannon”. After all, his teacher had played the violin, so he didn’t feel that it was too far away. Qi Mu thought of the safe in the Swiss bank, where Edith was silently sealed for four or five years.

Now that he had arrived at Wei Ai, it was almost one step away from the stage of the Golden Hall.

Just thinking about it, Qi Mu already finished wiping the rosin. He tentatively played a few notes on the violin strings, then looked up at Anthony.

All the while, the members of the orchestra discussed amongst themselves.

Anthony walked up to Qi Mu and smiled as he said, “Little Seven, I’m not going to play next. I’m going to put you in charge of leading the orchestra. But, since it’s your first time playing with Wei Ai, I’m going to give you a little taste of conductor on behalf of Dorenza. It’s not such a great experience, but I hope it can enlighten you.”

Qi Mu nodded gratefully. “Thank you, Mr. Anthony. I’ll pay attention.”

Anthony smiled peacefully, and he started to talk about “What it would be like if I could touch the Cannon in my lifetime”. After the whole staff had finished their dialogue, Anthony looked at Qi Mu, who sat in the deputy chief’s position.

For a moment, the beautiful, moving voice of the violin rang out.
