The waltz* was called \u201cwaltz\u201d* in English. Transliterally, that is waltz*.<\/p>

*This uses the Chinese word Waltz, then the English word Waltz, and finally, the Chinese pinyin for the English word Waltz.<\/em><\/p>

As dance music, waltz tunes were melodious and brisk. Since its development in the 18th century, it had taken on a variety of forms. Among them was Vienna\u2019s\u2014\u2014the origin of the most traditional waltz.<\/p>

Initially, Mozart<\/a> wrote the fifty short but intricate \u300aThree German Dances<\/a>\u300b, then Schubert<\/a> built upon them and wrote over 200 famous waltzes. Strauss<\/a> and Son<\/a> made further improvements and the Vienna waltz walked onto the world\u2019s stage, bringing this warm, jubilant dance style all over the world.<\/p>

The Viennese loved the waltz. How much did they love it? Most likely, if any concert by Vienna\u2019s local orchestras didn\u2019t include at least two waltzes, the concert was a failure.<\/p>

\u300aThe Blue Danube<\/a>\u300b was the most true to the Vienna heart.<\/p>

\u300aThe Blue Danube\u300b was originally\u00a0 \u300aOn the Beautiful Blue Danube\u300b and was known as Austria\u2019s second national anthem. Its tone was beautifully coordinated, and the notes were rich and varied. Every musical note seemed to be a shining wave on the Danube, brilliant as diamonds.<\/p>

Such a well-loved song had to be played beautifully. But, because even a junior high performance could be considered extraordinary, it was even more difficult to shine!<\/p>

The more popular the piece, the harder it was for the audience to feel the music\u2019s highlights. The entire Palisade Theatre rehearsed \u300aThe Blue Danube\u300b every afternoon so their sound was dignified, but unchanged, for the older audience.<\/p>

Now, the subtle sound of the violin filled the splendid music hall. Everyone drew their bows quickly, and a spring breeze blew over the Danube river waiting for dawn to awaken the city.<\/p>

Most of the audience\u2019s attention was focused on the young man at the front of the orchestra.<\/p>

This young man who stood beside the conductor\u2019s podium now sat with eyes slightly lowered and focused on his left hand. His left hand, slender and thin as it was, danced rapidly along the violin strings, but his right drew his violin bow with careful precision, filled with nervous expectation.<\/p>

Over the past month, the Palisade Theatre had featured a full stadium. Many of the repeat audience knew there were many among them that had contributed to the ticket sales. And now, their ears listened to the beautiful music while their eyes focused on the youth on stage.<\/p>

Oh, this kind of audio-visual feast for the senses was phenomenal!<\/p>

No wonder the tickets were sold out, ah!<\/p>

While blonds flooded most of Europe, this young, Chinese man with dark hair and eyes was like a clear stream, giving off the subtle, elegant, oriental beauty. The young man was handsome with delicate features, had a calm temperament, and wore a noble expression. People couldn\u2019t help but like it!<\/p>

Not to mention, he played such wonderful music!<\/p>

In \u300aThe Blue Danube\u300b, the second waltz should have been an ensemble in B-flat; it was the beautiful, gentle tones of girls laughing and playing under the Alps.<\/p>

But in Wallace\u2019s adaptation, just after the theme in A, the entire orchestra fell silent and only the flute played softly as accompaniment.<\/p>

To the surprise of the audience, a light, cheerful violin sounded out!<\/p>

The young man and his dancing violin bow gave a very different \u300aThe Blue Danube\u300b with dazzling skill!<\/p>

The original \u300aThe Blue Danube\u300b wasn\u2019t a very difficult waltz, almost anyone that had studied the violin for more than three years could play it. This song wasn\u2019t meant to suppress musicians with extreme difficulty, but to gift the beautiful melody to everyone.<\/p>

But right now, the difficulty of the violin bow\u2019s leaping display had the audience in an uproar!<\/p>

They stared at the young man playing so intently and conscientiously. His fingers seemed to have a life of their own, dancing like butterflies. Although his left hand remained simple, the difficulty of his bow hand was amazing!.Without giving the audience time to adjust, the next moment…<\/p>

The young man\u2019s left hand plucked at the violin strings!<\/p>

This left-hand pizzicato<\/a> could already be regarded as performance level.<\/p>

They had never seen such dazzling skills! No\u2026 they had never seen anyone play \u300aThe Blue Danube\u300b in such a dazzling way!<\/p>

The lightness that should have been provided by the trumpet was this time played by Little Seven and didn\u2019t seem abrupt at all. Instead, it was softer and more moving. It matched the softness of the girls. The enthusiasm that should have been performed by the trumpet was replaced by the violin\u2019s dancing bow which also brought out the girls\u2019 coyness!<\/p>

Such a brilliant change was impossible to deny. Everyone could only listen, dumbfounded, and watch!<\/p>

A ten-year-old girl with round eyes looked at the most outstanding big brother on stage and tugged her mother\u2019s sleeve, whispering, \u201cMommy, this doesn\u2019t seem like \u300aThe Blue Danube\u300b…\u201d<\/p>

\u201cHush!!!\u201d<\/p>

The young mother immediately covered her daughter\u2019s small mouth and continued to listen.<\/p>

After the song ended, she sighed and went to release her hand, but felt something cool drip onto the back of her hand. She looked down, \u201cOh god! My darling, don\u2019t cry, don\u2019t cry, mommy still loves you!\u201d<\/p>

\u201cWaaaa, Mommy wants to listen to \u300aThe Blue Danube\u300b more than she wants me…\u201d<\/p>

This was just a small episode in the audience. When the young mother handed the theater\u2019s little bunny doll to her daughter, she abruptly stopped crying with a hiccup.<\/p>

The mother couldn\u2019t help but think: the Palisade Theatre has such foresight!!!<\/em><\/p>

Under the stage, everyone stood and applauded together. On stage, Qi Mu and Wallace exchanged a hug and smiles, bowing to the audience.<\/p>

When Wallace stepped down from the conductor\u2019s podium, a light, crisp \u201cEncore\u201d sounded from the audience. Under that leadership, the cry for an encore rolled like the tide and swept over the entire concert hall, up to the ceiling!<\/p>

Wallace turned his head and looked at Qi Mu. The young man raised the corners of his mouth in a gentle, confident smile, then they walked back to their places.<\/p>

Qi Mu returned to the concertmaster\u2019s seat. Wallace turned and bowed to the auditorium, then\u2026 raised his baton!<\/p>

The cry for encore gradually subsided, the entire crowd was unable to restrain their joy, and waited for this orchestra to bring forth another surprise.<\/p>

And obviously, Strauss\u2019s \u300aTales from the Vienna Woods<\/a>\u300b did not disappoint. Its passionate melody and bright tune brought the concert to a perfect end, gaining endless applause.<\/p>

Many music critics, who had originally thought of it as a necessary task, now went back to write a music review, having forgotten their initial intentions. The old, repeat audience were even more excited about the orchestra\u2019s progress. They were delighted.<\/p>

There were even some older gentlemen like Delante who had visited this theater for decades and had red eyes. For such a special Christmas Eve concert, they got to see the theater\u2019s future and how it would continue to grow better and better, still!<\/p>

\u2014\u2014Even if they couldn\u2019t witness its glory when they were long buried underground, they still stood on this earth!<\/p>

In the spacious concert hall, the audience spoke as they left, all smiling happily. When they exited the theater, they didn\u2019t care about the cold outside.<\/p>

This was the most wonderful Christmas Eve concert they had ever heard. For the first time, they truly felt that they loved the theater. It was the happiest thing in the world.<\/p>

Backstage, the musicians returned with their scores and only the staff remained to tidy the chairs, violin racks, and the conductor\u2019s stand.<\/p>

When Qi Mu and Wallace returned together, a red sea encircled them. Cries of joy rejoiced, \u201cMr. Wallace, Little Seven! Happy Christmas Eve!!!\u201d<\/p>

Wallace smiled and pulled out his own mascot\u2014\u2014rabbit Little Seven, from his pocket. He squeezed its long red ears and smiled, \u201cLovely children, I also wish you\u2014\u2014Happy Christmas Eve!\u201d<\/p>

After a pause, the gentleman added, \u201cI want to thank you for your hard work this time. It was your diligence that paid off this success tonight, you\u2019re all heroes!\u201d<\/p>

The orchestra laughed.<\/p>

Wallace waved the rabbit Little Seven in his hand. \u201cI want to say with our lovely Little Seven, thank you for your hard work this time!\u201d Wallace tugged on (rabbit) Little Seven\u2019s arms and gave a shy expression.<\/p>

Qi Mu: \u201c\u2026\u2026\u201d<\/p>

Wallace brought on a boom of \u201cplaying games with Little Seven.\u201d After the concert, though everyone had been playing tirelessly, they were interested.<\/p>

Only Qi Mu\u2019s mouth twitched a little as he took a few steps away, not wanting to associate with this group of people.<\/p>

But he hadn\u2019t quite managed to sneak away when the orchestra agent walked in from the outside lounge and shouted, \u201cHey guys! Just now I saw an important, important, guest outside! Do you know who?\u201d<\/p>

Qi Mu was surprised. Only Wallace laughed, \u201cLiet, don\u2019t tease everyone. Is it our old critic friend, Julian?\u201d<\/p>

Liet shook his head mysteriously and laughed, \u201cNo no no, not Julian. Julian just hurried back to write a music review. He has ten thousand words to write about the concert tonight! Now, standing outside this door\u2026 well, Nelly, it\u2019s someone you like very much! Hint\u2026 it\u2019s a conductor\u2026\u201d<\/p>

Nelly screamed, \u201cOh my god!!!\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
