When Beethoven was speaking, many musicians were already reading the music scores, and many even hummed them out.
The melody hummed was the Marseillaise that An Ning was most familiar with.
Beethoven actually finished the arrangement and orchestration in one afternoon while only listening to An Ning hum the main melody once.
What kind of magical speed is this?
Forget it, Le Sheng cannot be measured by common sense.
At this time, someone at the singer's side was also reading the lyrics. After An Ning listened, she couldn't help but feel that something was wrong with the lyrics.
An Ning remembers that the original lyrics of the Marseillaise should be about the enemy attacking, the free motherland is in danger, the citizens are armed to defend the motherland, defend freedom, and so on.
There should be no such words as "the great leader calls us to arms" in the Marseillaise, right?
So An Ning directly interrupted the actors who were reading the lyrics: "Wait a minute! I have a problem with this lyrics!"
Everyone stopped and turned to look at An Ning.
An Ning: "Don't mention me in the lyrics. Just emphasize that ferocious enemies are coming to strangle the revolution. In critical situations, citizens should arm themselves."
Lyricist Elinor Ormons twitched her lips: "But it was you who led the crowd at the Bastille."
——How can I explain this to you?
An Ning's head was full of black lines and he continued: "I just happened to be in that position. Without me, he would have stood up and led the storming of the Bastille. The key is that the angry citizens have awakened and they want to fight for freedom.
And fought.
"In fact, it was journalist Desmoulins who first stood up on the table and called on the patriots to rise up and fight. I just happened to be at the scene and understood military affairs, so I became the military commander of the people."
Considering that it was not easy for Beethoven and Olmons to directly say that they were picked up by the crowd, An Ning adopted this statement.
Beethoven turned to look at the lyricist: "It does seem that we have misunderstood."
Omons: "We thought it was you who raised your arms and shouted..."
"It's not me, so when you say this, aren't you taking away the glory of Desmoulins and the glory of those citizens who rose up? Remove me and put the focus of the lyrics on the people and the patriots.
"The best angle for the lyrics is that a patriot is on the podium, calling on patriots like him to rise up and defend freedom."
Beethoven looked deeply moved: "The focus is on the people, the focus is on the people! Speaking of which, I have never written a song praising the people. After listening to your words, I wake up from a dream!"
The poet also nodded: "When I first wrote the lyrics, I also thought of writing an ode. I never thought that the object of praise was the people themselves. Yes, if you think about it carefully, the reason why this revolution is great is because of the people.
, the patriots have risen up, they are the protagonists."
After hearing what these two said, An Ning breathed a sigh of relief - Damn it, Marseillaise almost became a song to praise me, which would be a sin.
The original meaning of the lyrics has been changed, and maybe it won’t be so contagious when used as a war song in the future.
While An Ning was thinking about it, Sean Ponte, the male lead singer of the troupe, started to applaud, and then Joel, the female lead singer, also applauded. After a while, everyone clapped hard, and while applauding, they looked at An Ning with admiring eyes.
An Ning was very surprised: What the hell did I do again?
Sean Ponte: "Your Majesty the Lion! How noble you are, you regard fame as dirt!"
Beethoven looked deeply moved: "You are greater than I imagined. Even if you stop me, I will definitely write an ode to you."
No, please wait for me!
In real history, Beethoven seems to have actually written an ode to a person in the Revolutionary Era, that person was named Napoleon.
Hey guys, is "Eroica Symphony" really going to be written for me?
No, the "Eroica Symphony" was written when Beethoven was in his thirties, and it is a sign that his composition style is completely mature.
Now Beethoven is still a young man of 20 years old, and his composition is still very immature. I don’t know what he will come up with.
Omons: "Go and change the lyrics now, it should be soon."
After saying that, he turned around and ran towards the preparation room. After taking two steps, he remembered something, turned around and said, "By the way, you can throw away the lyrics just now. I will prepare new lyrics for you as soon as I finish writing them."
Sean Ponte waved his hand: "No, let's use this familiar melody first, and we can sing it immediately after you finish changing the words we changed."
Omons nodded and left with peace of mind.
Beethoven: "Let me play the melody for everyone!"
As he spoke, he took two steps forward, came to the piano, opened the cover, took a deep breath, and started playing.
The melody of Marseillaise from another world immediately echoed in the small theater.
The music played by Beethoven seems to be more majestic, as if thousands of troops are galloping.
When it came to the chorus, everyone in the audience sang together: "Forward! Forward! Water our fields with the enemy's dirty blood!"
Now maybe the entire Marseillaise has the same lyrics as in the previous time and space, except for this sentence.
After Beethoven finished playing, the audience burst into warm applause.
An Ning heard a singer and actor sighing: "What a great song! It's such a great song! It's full of power."
Beethoven bowed on the stage and then turned to An Ning: "What do you think? Does my music meet your expectations?"
An Ning: "It fits so well, so perfect! You are a talented young man!"
Oh my god, I am actually called Beethoven, boy. This feeling... is pretty cool?
An Ning: "Then I won't disturb your rehearsal. It's up to you to perform tonight!"
Beethoven hurriedly said: "You can go to the lounge, there are coffee and afternoon tea snacks, you can spend time there."
"Okay." An Ning said and walked towards the lounge.
**
That night, An Ning finally saw "The Storming of the Bastille," which had become a hot topic in Paris recently.
This play is said to be a short play, but in fact it covers a long period of time. It begins with the convening of the three-level parliament. The first scene is the famous scene of Tranquility: shouting to the king, "We cannot leave except with bayonets."
”.
Immediately after the declaration at the tennis court, it was An Ning who was the first to propose that everyone go to the tennis court and directly form the National Assembly.
Finally, when the king mobilized the army to prepare to use bayonets against the Parliament, Anning resolutely conquered the Bastille and led the patriots in Paris to support the Parliament with resolute actions...
Just watching this play, you will feel that tranquility dominated the entire French Revolution. Without tranquility, there would be no French Revolution.
At the end, when the patriots sang the new version of Marseillaise together, although the new lyrics no longer contained peace, the image of peace must be lingering in the minds of those who have just watched the play.
This drama is a hit in Paris. No wonder the crowd chanted An Ning's name so crazily during the day on Freedom Day.
After An Ning watched the show, her heart was broken.
If this play continues to be performed in Paris, my reputation will reach the sky.
So he ran backstage to find Beethoven and other creative staff: "This play of yours is too unrealistic. Let me tell you the real story!"
Then An Ning recounted the entire process from scratch, without hiding anything.
Then Beethoven shook his head and said: "I know you are very humble, but this is too much. How could you have been forcibly carried into the Bastille? Even if you said it yourself, I can't believe it!"
The playwright also said: "We interviewed many people who experienced it, and we wrote this play based on their accounts. Now you actually want to say that those people who experienced it are exaggerating?"
They are just exaggerating!
Sean Ponte came out to smooth things over: "Well, at most we can say something during the curtain call after the play is over, saying that the play is adapted from the names of many people who have experienced it, and there may be exaggerations. Humility is a virtue, and we should
Satisfy Mr. Frost's request."
I'm not humble at all...forget it, I'm tired, just destroy it.
An Ning gave up.
Anyway, I'm going to hide in the Kontat. Paris is as famous as it is, it doesn't matter.
