The second piece was Haydn’s "Cello Concerto in C Major." This piece is one of Haydn’s most proud creations, not only possessing the elegant style common in the Vienna School of Classical music but also demanding substantial technical skill in performance, making it a representative work of cello concertos at that ti. The first movent is in C major, a moderato concerto-like sonata form, where the monotone accompanint hints at Baroque influences; the second movent in F major, adagio... Although the two pieces differ greatly in style, Su Wan’s performance remained fluid and emotionally rich, fully showcasing her artistry and strength to all the audience.
The final piece was Saint-Saens’ "Cello Concerto No. 1 in A minor," a composition with a distinct the, rich harmonic colors, and characteristic rhythmic patterns, beloved by many. With a lyrical, lancholy sing in the minor key, the music reerges in the tonic major after a crescendoing interlude by the orchestra. It defies the sadness with a passionate, unrestrained burst of song, driving the music to a climax before stopping abruptly.
As the final note’s reverberation from the strings lingered in the vast hall, a thunderous and delighted applause erupted.
Everyone was astonishingly enchanted by Su Wan, the cellist’s, performance.
Overwheld with excitent from the audience’s unanimous approval, Su Wan struggled to compose herself. She raised her head and gave the audience a confident smile, gripping her cello as she stood up and bowed deeply, only straightening up after a long mont.
Turning back to glance at Fu Weiheng behind her, just as she was about to descend the stage with her dress lifted, the conductor unexpectedly dropped the baton again, and the hall was filled with the sound of a gentle accompanint.
Su Wan was taken aback, why was there another piece?
The audience looked at their programs, surprised, as the performance had seemingly concluded.
Standing before the piano bench, with an expression of confusion, Su Wan was at a loss when she suddenly heard a familiar, enchanting violin lody erge, complented by the orchestra’s delicate embellishnts.
Su Wan stood stunned, quickly turning around, only to find that Fu Weiheng had sohow risen from his seat and was standing beside her, gently and skillfully playing the violin.
In the second row of the audience, Jiang Yun was imdiately taken aback.
"Amazing Grace"
...
After a while, the sound of the violin ended.
Fu Weiheng gently placed the Stradivarius violin onto the piano bench.
Under the watchful eyes of the entire audience, he took out a navy blue velvet box from the pocket of his suit.
In the audience, Yao Ye was stunned by this solemn and earnest scene. She opened her mouth, perhaps feeling sothing: "Is God...proposing?"
Just as those words were spoken, Fu Weiheng knelt on one knee and slowly opened the box, revealing a dazzlingly elegant diamond ring under the golden lights.
In the suddenly silent music hall, a clear and deep voice rang out, gentle and slow—
"Wanwan, marry ."
At the sight of this handso man kneeling on one knee before her, in that instant, Su Wan could no longer hold back her tears.
He was always a man of few words, yet even in his proposal, there were only these five words.
But she understood, these five words encompassed all his feelings for her.
If she weren’t still holding the cello, she would have long thrown herself into his embrace.
The audience erupted in cheers.
Su Wan sniffled, carefully placing the cello on the ground. She tilted her head back, gently wiped away her tears with her hand, and softly replied to him, "Yes."
