Chapter 669 The original manuscripts of two Mozarts!
…
He took the check handed over by Liu Dong with a happy expression, and then noticed that the other party looked like he was not short of money. Old Ace rolled his eyes, and then smiled and said: "Liu, now we can be considered friends.
Without asking you for more, you can take this bronze sculpture for 800,000 euros!"
"800,000 euros?"
The joy in Liu Dong's eyes flashed away. Although he knew that Old Ace must have asked for a lot more, this amount of money was incomparable to its value compared to a masterpiece handed down by a famous sculptor from BC!
Although he was absolutely convinced, Liu Dong still pretended to hesitate before writing a check of 800,000 euros and handing it over to the other party.∷
"Haha, Liu, you are still as generous as ever!"
Old Ace was extremely happy at the moment. The intuitive Liu Dong was his lucky star. Less than a week after contacting Liu Dong, he had already earned more than 5 million euros, which was almost higher than his income last year.
Looking at Old Ace's excited face, Liu Dong smiled faintly, but the value of a Milon bronze sculpture legacy far exceeded all his expenses at Old Ace. If Liu Dong was willing to auction it
If so, I’m afraid it’s not unreasonable to see an auction price of hundreds of millions of dollars!
With the help of Old Ace, Liu Dong quickly drove back to the hotel after putting the seven antiques he bought into the car.
"Liu Dong, we will visit the Van Gogh Museum later. Are you going?" Liu Dong came to the corridor and was about to go back to his room when he ran into Fang Zhonghua.
"I'll go. When I leave, call me!"
Van Gogh, a world-renowned art master, has long been famous. It has always been Liu Dong's long-cherished wish to see many of his original works with his own eyes. After all, he was also proficient in oil painting under the influence of his mother.
"Okay, we'll set off in about half an hour, please prepare first!" Fang Zhonghua said.
"knew!"
After agreeing, Liu Dong opened the door and returned to his room.
He walked to the living room and sat down, stretched out his right hand. The melon-shaped piano he had just brought back from Old Ace appeared in Liu Dong's hand. After taking the piano in his hand and turning it over, his heart moved. One finger was thick and the same size.
The middle school Chinese textbook was wrapped in oilcloth and kraft paper and appeared in Liu Dong's hands.
And this thing was the culprit that caused this precious melon-style violin to lose its original tone. At that time, Liu Dong also used the relic Yuan Guang to discover the package hidden inside the violin.
After putting the violin aside, Liu Dong took a carving knife and peeled away the wax layer on the package. What was exposed was the paper that had turned yellowish. Fortunately, it was well preserved. There were no signs of damage on the paper, just because of time.
Very long. It has become very brittle.
In order not to damage these papers, Liu Dong used the relic Yuan Guang to repair them as a whole, and then carefully opened the layer of white paper covering the surface. The back one was filled with German writing. Fortunately, Liu Dong still knew German.
Not unfamiliar, he quickly recognized the content on the paper.
"'Essay on the Basic Principles of Violin Playing', Leopold Mozart!" Seeing this line, Liu Dong couldn't help but feel excited. Everything was exactly as he had guessed before. These papers were composed by Germans.
The original manuscript of "A Treatise on the Basic Principles of Violin Playing" by Leopold Mozart, conductor, music teacher and violinist!
Moreover, this German musician also has a son who is famous all over the world and is known as one of the greatest classical musicians in Europe - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart!
Because of his sister, Liu Dong is very familiar with this great musician's "Serenade" and "Turkish March" and other pieces.
What excites Liu Dong is that in addition to the manuscripts of "A Treatise on the Basic Principles of Violin Performance", behind these manuscripts are the manuscripts of three violin pieces by Mozart the Elder and five piano pieces by the Young Mozart. However, there are
The two songs are incomplete. I don’t know if they were not finished or if they were lost!
But no matter what, these manuscripts are still of infinite value, and any one you take out is worth thousands of gold.
"Dong dong, Xiaodong, are you ready? We are about to leave!"
"Oh, okay, I'll come right away!" Without taking a closer look at the moment, Liu Dong quickly organized the manuscript and put it into the mustard space together with the violin.
"Why are you so happy that you can't close your mouth?" Fang Zhonghua said with a smile.
Of course I was happy to receive the precious music manuscripts of two Mozarts, but it was not yet appropriate to say to Fang Zhonghua, "Don't you think of visiting the Van Gogh Museum? I have been very interested in the paintings of this famous oil painting master.
I’m interested, and now I have the opportunity to visit, of course I’m happy!”
"Really?" Fang Zhonghua expressed serious doubts.
"Okay, let's go. We are the two youngest in the meeting. Don't let these old men wait for us, otherwise we will cause another round of complaints!" Without waiting for Fang Zhonghua to speak, Liu Dong took his arm and walked out to the elevator.

…
The Van Gogh Museum was built in 1973 and is located in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. It houses 200 of the most precious paintings from Van Gogh's golden period, accounting for 1/4 of his works. There are hundreds (some say thousands) of sketches, as well as Van Gogh's
Almost all of his letters have attracted much attention, the most famous of which are probably "Doves" and "Sunflowers".
The museum also houses Japanese ukiyo-e paintings collected by Van Gogh and his brother Theo, as well as works by other painters, such as portraits of Van Gogh by Gauguin and Lautrec, and self-portraits by Gauguin and Bernard.
Although the collection contains less than 10,000 pieces, relying on Van Gogh's popularity around the world, millions of people come here to visit every year, which is no less than large national museums.
When Liu Dong and his party came here, there was already a long queue in front of the ticket window of the art museum. Fortunately, Liu Dong and the others had already bought the tickets in advance, otherwise they would have to wait for an hour or two just to queue.
Entering through the door, you will be greeted by a giant self-portrait of Van Gogh. Of course, this is just an enlarged copy of the original!
After entering the door, walk to the left and follow the signs. Liu Dong and his party easily found the display area of Van Gogh's paintings, "Sunflowers", "Wheat Field with Crows Flying in disorder", "Girl Jiaxie in the Courtyard", "
"Flock of Pigeons" and so on, Van Gogh's famous paintings that have been praised all over the world passed by Liu Dong's eyes one by one. From these paintings, Liu Dong understood the twists and turns of this great painter's inner journey more than a hundred years ago.
And superb painting skills!
Painting is the artist's extraction of reality and re-expression after artistic processing. It is the embodiment of the most primitive emotions in the artist's heart!
As a painter, Liu Dong can feel the emotions that Van Gogh wants to express in every painting.
Time passed little by little, and the visit to the museum came to an end.
"Liu...Liu Dong?"
The familiar yet unfamiliar crisp sound made Liu Dong wake up from the wonderful artistic conception of the painting.
Turning around, not far away, a beautiful woman with long hair shawl, tall figure, wearing a white dress, exquisite facial features, pure and intellectual temperament made Liu Dong stunned, looking at the familiar beauty with a hint of unfamiliarity.
Face, scenes of sweet and green memories flashed through Liu Dong's mind!
"Meixue!"
Facing his first love in high school, Liu Dong's emotions were very complicated, including the joy of reuniting and the sigh of the lack of friendship after many years of separation.
"I didn't expect it was really you!"
Looking at the tall figure in front of her, wearing a white shirt and a pair of black trousers, she has a mature and steady temperament. Just like the first love of a successful person in society, Mei Xue's heart is just as complicated.
In the past four years, she has never forgotten the figure of this person, but compared to the boy who blushed and stubbornly faced her when she first fell in love, he has now transformed into a mature and stable man!
"Maybe he should have a new girlfriend or get married!" Thinking of this, Mei Xue couldn't help but feel sour in her heart.
"It's me, how have you been in these years?" Liu Dong had a thousand words to say at that moment, but facing the beauty, he didn't know where to start. After hesitating for a while, he said softly.
"I only went to college for four years, and my life was as ordinary as water. There was nothing worth writing about. What about you? You must have lived a colorful life in these years, right?" Mei Xue said.
"I'm okay. By the way, I heard them say, didn't you go to university in the UK? Why are you here now?" After chatting for a few words, Liu Dong's mood gradually stabilized.
"It's summer vacation now, and my classmates and I are coming to the Netherlands to play!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Dong also noticed the beautiful blond girl wearing a pink shirt next to Mei Xue!
Because Liu Dongmeixue was speaking in her native language just now, the other party didn't understand what they were talking about just now! But from the expressions between the two, the blonde girl had a rough guess!
"Xue, why don't you introduce this friend of yours to me?" The other person spoke in pure English.
"Oh, Liu Dong, let me introduce to you, this is my good friend at Oxford University, Alyssa!...Alyssa, this is my high school classmate, Liu Dong!"
"Hello!"
"Hello, nice to meet you!" Liu Dong said.
After briefly shaking hands with Liu Dong, Alyssa glanced at Liu Dong in surprise and said, "Your English is very pure!"
"Thanks!"
With an almost photographic memory, it is very easy for Liu Dong to master a language.
"I know there is a very good Chinese restaurant nearby. How about I treat you to dinner?" Because the museum needs to be quiet, Liu Dong did not want to talk much here.
It happens to be almost noon now, so eating and chatting is exactly what it should be.
Facing Liu Dong's invitation, Mei Xue agreed without thinking. She had imagined today's reunion countless times. She wanted to know all Liu Dong's experiences in the past four years.
