In the luxurious huge hall in the Imperial Mansion, the big shots in the musical field had come together for a social gathering. They were discussing the music banquet to be held three months from now.
Both the Piano Association and the Violin Association were taking part this time.
They claimed that it would be an event to appreciate one another's music and learn from each other, but the fact was that they did want some sort of comparison and competition.
Be it the members of the Piano Association or the Violin Association, everyone thought that their musical instrument was the most elegant and exquisite one.
But this time, the focus of the gathering was not the hosting of the banquet. Instead, it was a big boss who had not returned from abroad in a while.
Master Nie!
Last year, Master Nie shared the stage with Kevin Steve, the most renowned pianist in the world. He was so impressive that the foreign pianist applauded him and admired him. The almost-70-year-old master of the West even expressed that he wanted to learn from Master Nie.
It was noteworthy that the superb musicians in the Western hemisphere, such as Steven, used to be students of Kevin Steve as well.
Their master was full of admiration for Master Nie, so it only elevated Master Nie's position in the music world.
There had always been some sort of competition between the East and the West in the musical field. However, the Western counterparts were consistently outshining the Eastern ones. Local Chinese musicians hardly ever got the respect of those outside the country, except for Master Nie, whose reputation was internationally recognized. Hence, he could also be considered to be a representative of China's music talents.
The background of such a master was, of course, impressive as well. The Nie was a highly educated family in Beijing, and many of their descendants were architects and renowned figures in the literary field.
They weren't extremely wealthy, but they were comfortable.
