Chapter 23 rehearsal field

Xiaodoudou walked upright, and the shepherd dog Rocky also walked in a regular manner, occasionally looking up at Xiaodoudou's face.Whenever this happens, they must go to Dad's rehearsal field to peek.Usually, Xiao Doudou is always running around in a hurry, or walking around looking around, as if something has fallen, or she is going through the yards of other people's houses, arching around the fence.In short, there is no time to rest.Therefore, it is really rare to walk upright like this.Once Xiaodoudou poses like this, the insider will understand at a glance, "Go to the rehearsal field."It is only five minutes away from Doudou's home to the rehearsal field.

Xiaodoudou's father is the chief violinist of the orchestra.When it comes to the first violinist, it is natural to play the violin.But what made Xiaodou interesting was that once she was taken to a concert by her father and their orchestra, and the audience applauded at the end of the performance.At this time, the sweating uncle conductor turned to face the audience.He stepped off the command seat and immediately shook hands with Xiaodoudou's father.Xiaodoudou's father sat on the seat closest to the conductor. When his father stood up, the whole orchestra stood up together.Xiaodoudou asked in a low voice:

"Why do you want to shake hands with Dad?" Mom told her: "Because of Dad, they performed hard. The conductor shook hands with Dad, asking Dad to represent the entire orchestra and accept him to express 'thank you' to everyone in the orchestra." Xiaodoudou likes the rehearsal field very much, because in school, all the children are seen, but there are many adults here, and the adults are playing music with various instruments.In addition, Mr. Rochestock, the conductor of the orchestra, spoke Japanese very interestingly. Mr. Rochestock's full name is Joseph Rochestock. He is a very famous conductor in Europe, but because a man named Hitler did terrible things, Mr. Rochestock wanted to be able to To continue his music career, he had no choice but to escape from Europe and came to the distant Usumoto.These are what my father told Xiaodoudou.Pa said he had great respect for Mr. Rochestock.Xiaodoudou still couldn't understand the changes in the international situation. In fact, Hitler had already started to persecute the Jews at that time.Without this series of changes, it would be impossible for Mr. Rochestock to come to Japan. Then, the orchestra founded by Mr. Yamada Kosaku would not be able to develop rapidly under the guidance of this world-class conductor. up.Mr. Rochestock requires the Japanese Symphony Orchestra to perform at the level of the top orchestra in Europe. Because of this, Mr. Rochestock often said in tears at the end of the rehearsal:

"I've worked so hard, but your orchestra refuses to cooperate!" At this time, cellist Hideo Saito will explain to him on behalf of everyone.Mr. Saito, acting conductor during Mr. Rochestock's breaks, also has the best German: "Everyone is working hard, hoping to play well, but our skills are not good enough. It is definitely not intentional refusal to cooperate." In this way, Mr. Saito conveyed everyone's feelings and comforted Mr. Rochestock.Although Xiaodoudou didn't know what was going on, she sometimes saw Mr. Rochestock angry.The gentleman's face was flushed red, as if steam would come out of his head, and he shouted something in a foreign language.Originally, Xiao Doudou was looking in from a fixed window with her hand on her chin. Whenever Mr. Rochestock got angry, she quickly retracted her head from the window, squatted on the ground with Loki, and held her breath. , quietly waiting for the music to start again.

Mr. Rochestock, however, was usually very kind, and he spoke Japanese very amusingly.When everyone is playing well, he will say: "Mr. Black Willow, it's great!" or: "Wonderful, fantastic!" Xiaodoudou has never entered the rehearsal field.She likes to look in from the window and listen to music.So, when everyone goes outside to smoke during breaks, Dad often finds: "Ah, it's Doudou Assistant! Are you here too?" Mr. Rochestock, when he saw Beanie, would say to her: "Good morning." or: "Hello." Although Xiaodoudou has grown up, Mr. Rochestock still hugs Xiaodoudou and sticks to her face as she did when she was a child.Beanie is a bit shy, but very fond of Mr. Rochestock.The gentleman wears thin silver-rimmed glasses, has a high nose, and is short.He is elegant and handsome, and you can tell at a glance that he is a great artist.

The wind blowing from the direction of the washing pool, the music from the rehearsal field is sent far away.From time to time, it is also mixed with the cries of "goldfish, goldfish" from goldfish sellers.In short, Xiaodoudou likes this western-style rehearsal venue very much.
