An instrumental duet is a performance of a piece of music by two performers of equal importance, playing the same or different instruments.

Violin duets are quite common in classical music, and there are also special pieces for them, such as "Minuet" and "Gavotte".

The two people on the stage were ready and stood on both sides of the music conductor's podium.

The collaboration between two top artists, one big and one small, is highly anticipated.

The orchestra's conductor is named Du, and he is 48 years old this year. He is in the prime of his life in the field of classical music, with the peak of experience, ability, and aesthetics, and his conducting style is passionate.

Although he is not tall, his 1.7 meter body contains a strong artistic vitality. Once he is immersed in the music atmosphere, the energy he bursts out is amazing.

After Lu Qingfeng and Lu Sijia stood still, he raised the baton in his right hand and stretched out his left hand, keeping it motionless in mid-air. The next second, he raised his palm and gently lifted the baton.

After receiving the signal, the bow in Lu Sijia's hand moved, continuously making small jumps. By controlling the elasticity of the bow and the movement of her wrist, she made the bow hair leave the string quickly, producing a short and distinct staccato effect.

Light, powerful, and clear.

Chai Shengan nodded secretly.

As expected of one of the top violinists in China, his profound playing skills can be seen from his jumping bow.

The four major bowing techniques for violin are split bow, legato bow, staccato bow and saccade bow.

Generally speaking, the bowing technique of playing with bow bouncing is based on the violin jumping bow, so the violin jumping bow technique is very important in bowing, which is divided into artificial jumping bow and natural jumping bow.

The techniques that seem easy to perform from the audience are actually very sophisticated.

Most basically, the height and strength of the jumping bow must be kept consistent. Once there is a change, the timbre will also change accordingly. If it is not properly controlled, it may even cause noise.

The notes produced by playing the bow on different strings are also different, so when changing bows and strings, you must be steady and even.

And in this process, the sound should be produced by pulling, not smashing.

At the same time, during the bowing process, the role of the fingers, especially the little finger, must change with the changes in the bowing position in order to maintain the weight balance of the upper and lower parts of the contact point between the bow and the string.

In a word, details determine success or failure.

As a long-established musician, there is no need to explain Lu Sijia's violin technique.

Three seconds later, Lu Qingfeng's violin entered.

With two quick short bow strokes, the cheerful and lively style of the melody emerges.

The overture to "The Barber of Seville" is very interesting. Although the name indicates this opera, the song was actually originally written for Rossini's other opera "Elizabeth".

However, "Elizabeth" did not cause much response, so this talented but lazy composer moved this piece of music to a new opera.

Its style is highly consistent with "The Barber of Seville", and it has become Rossini's representative work.

Just as the piece is presented in the form of a dialogue, the core of the violin duet is also musical dialogue and writing.

The two violins play different roles respectively. Lu Qingfeng's first violin is responsible for the leading melody part, the gorgeous music and the shining high pitch; Lu Sijia's second violin is responsible for the supporting part, the basis of harmony, and the control of rhythm.

As the melody unfolded, the two people on the stage smiled, and the melody they played was a blend of tones that blended and intertwined, harmonious and natural.

Chai Shengan and several musicians sitting in the same row stared at the two people on the stage.

In their eyes, Lu Qingfeng's violin had clear and agile bow movements, jumping bows, staccato bows, vibrato, diverse use of various techniques, and control of pitch in high positions.

All of them fully demonstrate the musical expressiveness of this song.

Lu Sijia's performance is steady and powerful, serving as the rhythmic cornerstone and controlling the rhythm.

The precise accompaniment patterns and clear bass lines blend perfectly with Lu Qingfeng's violin tone.

An audio-visual experience so gorgeous that it gives people goosebumps.

As the tune continued, the two violins competed with each other in their beauty, and the cheerful melody lingered in the hall. The conductor also entered the atmosphere of the music, although the movement of the baton was still not large.

But his whole body was moving with great power, and his facial features allowed the audience to clearly feel the passionate emotions in his body.

Entering the second half, a long and exciting crescendo pushes the music from a low whisper to a majestic climax.

The performance of the two violins established a unified sense of rhythm, gradually getting faster and slower, corresponding to the color of the notes. The sense of breathing that echoed between the phrases was natural and smooth.

At the end of the melody, it falls quietly at the climax under two long bows.

Thunderous applause followed.

It was a hearty performance, the performers enjoyed themselves to the fullest, and the audience was even more delighted to listen, their emotions rising and falling with the melody.

Many people felt it was truly exciting. The emotional release brought about by the music made many people experience the charm of classical music for the first time.

Afterwards, Lu Qingfeng continued to perform two more pieces of music with Lu Sijia.

A "Turkish March", a song from his previous life called "He is a Pirate", which he brought to this world and renamed "Set Sail".

At the end of the collaboration, amid the audience's applause, Lu Qingfeng hugged the highly respected music master before letting him leave the stage.

The concert continues.

As the protagonist, Lu Qingfeng then played many other pieces including "The Bell", "Butterfly Lovers", "Flight of the Bumblebee" and so on.

The concert is almost coming to an end.

He put down his violin and picked up the microphone again.

"As this is my first solo concert, I have been very nervous since the beginning of the preparations. In order to enhance the viewing experience of the concert, I specially invited two heavyweight guests to perform for me."

"We've just heard Teacher Lu's violin performance. I think everyone should know the guest who will appear next."

"She's very popular and well-liked by everyone. She's also well-known on the national stage. She and I appeared on the same variety show."

There was a noise from the audience. If the previous adjectives were hard to guess, the latter sentence made many people know who the guest was.

"Yes, please welcome Liu Qianya."

Warm applause rang out, proving that he is a classical pianist with great popularity.

Liu Qianya walked onto the stage in a halterneck silver evening gown, came to the front, covered her chest with her hands, and bowed.

Lu Qingfeng was also applauding. After the applause gradually died down, he walked forward and stood with her.

"Thank you, Sister Sissi, for coming."

Liu Qianya smiled gracefully and appropriately.

"When I invited Sister Sissi, she told me that she hoped to play a new piece. I certainly couldn't let her down, so next, please enjoy the Croatian Rhapsody."
