Speaking the sentence, Dorenza\u2019s face gradually fell as he watched the youth onstage.<\/span><\/p>

The master conductor, recognized for his good temper, seldom wore such a solemn expression. At the moment, he looked sincerely at Qi Mu. Although he didn\u2019t say anything else, he had a feeling that he was waiting for his answer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

After hearing Dorenza\u2019s words, the other four judges turned their heads to Qi Mu. They were curious about what inspired the youth to make such a moving melody.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Qi Mu nodded calmly. \u201cMr. Dorenza, I was surprised to draw \u300aD Major\u300b this time. I don\u2019t need to speak much on its popularity. In fact, I admit that I know every note of the piece by heart. If you asked me to play it on the spot, I would have no problem.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The youth\u2019s frank words made the orchestra\u2019s concertmaster, Anthony, smile as he waited for Qi Mu to continue. \u201cIn fact, I thought long ago\u2026 Why have an Allegro after a Larghetto? It\u2019s such a big contrast, it made me feel weird when I practiced it for the first time.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Qi Mu had thought so for a long time. In fact, a <\/span>very<\/em> <\/span>long time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Before he entered the Geneva Conservatory of music in his last life, Qi Mu had more contact with Mozart, Menuin, Heifitz, and the music of other maestros. Back then, he was relatively young, unable to grasp their deep emotion. After entering the conservatory later on, he had more contact with Beethoven\u2019s music. At the same time, he also had contact with the \u300aViolin Concerto in D major\u300b.<\/span><\/p>

When Qi Mu first entered the college in his last life, he felt that, compared to his classmates, he had too much to do. What he lacked wasn\u2019t talent or diligence, but the advantages brought by family background and other reasons. So, he doubled his efforts to fill in the gaps in a year. At the same time, in the high-intensity study of the violin, he had questions about the \u300aD Major\u300b.<\/span><\/p>

A lot of young violinists first experienced \u300aD Major\u300bby practicing each movement individually. But when the official performance came, most would have an orchestra accompaniment, with no chance to play the three movements continuously.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

But, Qi Mu didn\u2019t have much leisure time in his last life, so when he first came into contact with the tune, he practiced diligently for more than seven hours, playing through all the three movements.<\/span><\/p>

In doing so, he discovered\u2014<\/span><\/p>

Moving from an allegro immediately to a larghetto was really an awkward thing, ah!<\/span><\/p>

It wasn\u2019t so obvious with the orchestra\u2019s accompaniment, but without it, the change was so abrupt that he didn\u2019t understand it at the time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Qi Mu studied the piece for a long time in his last life, but he never understood it very well. However, now that he had an absolute sense of sound, he suddenly realized that maybe\u2026 there could be even greater gains from adapting the song?<\/span><\/p>

Generally speaking, only composers and conductors could adapt a piece harmoniously, because their good ears and control over each note were beyond the scope of ordinary musicians.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Qi Mu, of course, hadn\u2019t been trained in that field, but that didn\u2019t prevent him from adapting the song\u2014<\/span><\/p>

Because he had absolute pitch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

After hearing his answers, the jury was surprised.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The concertmaster, Anthony, asked again, \u201cDid you really only plan to adapt this song <\/span>today<\/span><\/em>?\u201d After Qi Mu confirmed it again, even the second conductor Motl sighed and said, \u201cWell, after decades of training, my sense of sound is absolute, but even I can\u2019t adapt Beethoven\u2019s music in such a short time\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The third conductor, Nazat, joked, \u201cIf anyone had an innate absolute pitch, it would be Auston Bertram.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

After a few laughs, Dorenza looked at Qi Mu onstage, still calm and solemn. Slowly, slowly, he smiled, then nodded. \u201cLittle Seven, your mind is very delicate. I\u2019m shocked you can pay so much attention to such a small rhythm problem. Perhaps Beethoven\u2019s original symphony is more magnificent, but I personally think that your violin solo is more passion-inspiring.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

After a pause, Dorenza smiled and said, \u201cLittle Seven, thank you for bringing us this wonderful \u300aD Major\u300b. I wonder, would you like to have a good dinner with me on this wonderful New Year\u2019s Eve? You are welcome to my home!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Qi Mu was stunned when he heard the words, and light flashed through his heart as he reacted, suddenly realizing: Dorenza admitted him?!<\/span><\/p>

But then, the handsome young man shook his head and replied with a smile, \u201cThank you for your invitation, Mr. Dorenza, but I\u2019m going to spend the new year with Master Lance tonight.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Hearing this, Dorenza said nothing more. He had his own wife and children to celebrate with, while Lance was alone in Vienna. It was a good thing that the child had the intention to accompany him.<\/span><\/p>

As Qi Mu started to leave, he opened the door to the concert hall only to hear Tuckerman jokingly say in his wake, \u201cSo\u2026 We held such a grand recruitment meeting, and we finally chose Qi Mu as the deputy chief? Hey, Motl, don\u2019t stare at me. Do you think someone would play a better tune than his \u300aD Major\u300b? I don\u2019t believe it! Where there are so many geniuses in this world, can they really all be focused on our Wei Ai recruitment meeting?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Just as Qi Mu stepped out, Anthony said, \u201cNo, Tuckerman. In fact, today\u2019s recruitment meeting isn\u2019t a waste. It has another advantage, at least\u2026 It let me really see the child\u2019s strength. I think that after I leave the orchestra, the child will definitely take the members of the orchestra and lead Wei Ai to a new height.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

After a sigh, Nazart smiled and said, \u201cThis is really an era of talents! Anthony, I really think we were born decades too early. In this era, there are Auston Bertram, Christole, Jenny, and Qi Mu. How young they are and how old we are! But, it\u2019s the happiest thing to witness their rise. I believe that Qi Mu, as a child, will be the next Christole!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Hearing this, Qi Mu\u2019s steps paused, and he turned to look at Nazart in surprise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The Russian conductor even compared him with Min Chen, Christole, and Jenny, the chief of the Symphony Orchestra in Dresden. Such evaluation was too high for the current Qi Mu.<\/span><\/p>

But, the next second, Dorenza\u2019s words completely shocked him. \u201cMy dear Nazart, do you think this child will only become the next Christole? There may be a second Christole in the world, but please believe me, I think\u2014\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThere will never be a second Qi Mu in the world!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Bright, gentle sunlight shone down through the landing window of the Friends of Music Association building, gilding the youth\u2019s black hair in a golden edge. As the light shone down, his eyes slowly opened, and Qi Mu stared at the virtuous conductor in the concert hall. But, the conductor seemed to smile slightly in his direction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The next moment, the door closed with a click.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

But, Dorenza\u2019s voice echoed in Qi Mu\u2019s ear for a long time.<\/span><\/p>

It would become a famous saying in Wei Ai many years later\u2014\u2014<\/span><\/p>

\u300eThere will never be a second Qi Mu in the world! \u300f<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I\u2019m so sorry this chapter came so late. We\u2019re doing our best behind the scenes, but sometimes KOCM gets a little neglected. We\u2019ll do our best to keep it on track.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Also, excuse me while I sit over here, crying an entire river over how Qi Mu doesn\u2019t think he deserves this praise!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
