Christopher watched quietly as Lucien stood up to pay tribute amidst the roaring applause. After a long time, he smiled and said: "When Victor and Rhine transformed the piano, I thought it was a brand new instrument.
The volume is huge, the sound quality is full, and the contrast between strong and weak is very clear. However, I have never tried to compose music for this new instrument. I have never thought that the melodies and techniques that could not be expressed on the harpsichord and harpsichord before could be expressed on the piano.
I will show you that the piano piece Lucien arranged just now creatively incorporates a lot of violin techniques, and it is very difficult and not something that humans can complete."
"But for a knight, it only takes a period of practice." Verdi was surprised that the piano could be played like this, not how difficult Lucien's technique was, so he returned to normal after a brief surprise.
Natasha glanced at Will for the first time with a half-smile: "The changes in fingering techniques are indeed nothing to us, but other ordinary musicians may need a long time to adapt, because Lucien has shown more than just fingering skills.
It’s dazzling. What’s more, the widening of the range, the contrast of intensity, etc. when composing piano sonatas gives the music played on a piano a symphonic color and the feeling of a band. Haha, I am so excited about Lucien’s next
Pathétique becomes increasingly curious and confident.”
Her words were relatively simple, allowing the nobles around her who didn't know much about music to understand that the update of musical instruments would definitely bring about changes in the music, and Lucien was at the forefront of everyone.
"I restrained my curiosity and did not look at Lucien's "Pathétique" score, but I heard Victor mention that Lucien did make great changes in the genre, structure, and techniques of the piano sonata.
, Haha, it seems that I am really old, and I concentrated on composing "Dawn of War" instead of studying the piano." Christopher laughed at himself humorously.
Grand Duke Violet laughed and said: "Perhaps I am also old. When I heard Lucien's majestic performance just now, I was not as excited as the young people. Instead, I felt it was too intense and a bit difficult to adapt to. Of course, this cannot be denied.
The piano music arranged by Lucien is excellent in terms of melody and technique, but I even hope that the song "Pathétique" composed by him himself can bring us different feelings."
When her father said this, Natasha wrinkled her nose and did not refute, secretly thinking: "The previous performance was so charming and impressive. I want to learn Lucien's fingering skills as soon as possible!"
And Phyllis and John saw that Lucien came on stage three times in a row without being silent, and the music he chose was also received extremely warmly, so they quietly relaxed a little. As long as the last piano sonata was welcomed, then
Lucien's concert will come to a successful conclusion.
…………
In the Municipal Square, Pierre, who had slender black hair, stared blankly at the stage inside the crystal wall, listening to the applause around him that seemed to be able to lift the roof off, and sadly whispered to himself: "It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be.
It should be like this, his fingering and playing techniques are all wrong!"
But when he thought that he had just been immersed in the passionate and crazy piano melody and the wild and romantic fingering performance, Pierlu became more and more unable to accept and hated himself, as if only by scolding himself could he confirm that his father's playing art was correct and immortal.
.
"Yes, yes, yes, his previous piano music was all composed of techniques, without the themes and connotations he advocated. It must be that even he himself cannot accept his own fingering! It must be like this!"
In his daze, Pierre didn't notice Lucien's reappearance and sat down in front of the piano again, his eyes slightly closed as he contemplated his emotions.
Piola, Lilith and other spectators in the square suddenly became silent, waiting for the last piece of music of Mr. Evans's concert.
"Can it replace the symphony and make the concert end with a climax and perfection?"
…………
Lucien sat in front of the piano and meditated quietly, knowing that with his quasi-knight ability, he had no problem with the playing technique of "Pathétique", but the reason why the first movement of "Pathétique" is the most difficult of the three movements
One is because it contains strong feelings and thoughts. Once there is no emotional integration, what is played is just a series of mechanical and pale notes, and people can judge whether it is good or bad at a glance.
Scenes of sad and depressing things passed through Lucien's heart:
The voices and smiles of my parents, the regret and sorrow of never being able to see each other again;
The fear, trembling, helplessness and resentment of being forced into the sewer by the church pastor;
Angry and aggrieved when surrounded by gangsters;
The pain, self-blame and anger when I learned that Joel’s family was kidnapped by cultists;
The grief and rage at the sight of those three severed fingers;
…
Everything converged into a heavy sadness that weighed on Lucien's heart, and Lucien found that the most depressing thing was that he was in Alto, the city of chants!
When meditating, you will worry about the night watchman passing by outside the house and discovering unusual fluctuations in the mental power inside;
When doing experiments in the magic laboratory, I worry about making too much noise and being noticed;
When practicing magic, always be careful not to leave too obvious traces;
When gathering with magic circles, you must conceal your true identity, fearing bullying or spies from the church;
When acting as a "professor" and rescuing hostages, every step is dangerous and thrilling. Every step is like walking on the edge of a cliff. If you are not careful, you will become an object of blood sacrifice or a victim on the rack. It is very tense and depressing.
and uneasiness;
It was only then that Lucien discovered that his heart was filled with many negative and repressed emotions, so he channeled them out and brewed them to explode.
Pressing the pedal all the way to the bottom, Lucien's arms heavily "smashed" the set of sounds that came from his heart!
Dang! The strings in the piano seem to be trembling! It’s surprising!
Then a low and dark melody played slowly, bringing out an extremely strong tragic flavor!
This is Lucien's inner depression and sadness, his desire to get rid of his bondage and live a peaceful life!
Just from the beginning, Grand Duke Violet felt the strong tragic atmosphere. It was like the dark and gloomy thick clouds before the summer rainstorm, like the heavy stone pressing in his heart, and like the unspeakable sadness and nostalgia.
This kind of feeling is not only shared by the Grand Duke, but other nobles and commoners who have had rich life experiences all have similar feelings. They are all infected by the emotions that Lucien resonates through music.
Natasha seemed to have returned to the winter of that year. The sky in Alto was rarely covered with heavy black lead clouds, which made people feel extremely depressed, as if they could predict that something bad was going to happen.
Christopher thought of his wife who had been with him for nearly fifty years but left him first, and of his son who was destroyed under the pressure of his famous reputation. He would rather work hard and dangerously in business outside and face those vicious people.
Kobolds and jackals were unwilling to step into the piano room.
"There has been too much sadness in life, but all I can clearly remember is your smile, Winnie." Victor closed his eyes and listened quietly to the slow introduction of the tragedy.
When such a melody sounded in Phyllis' ears, she naturally thought of the pain and sadness she felt when she heard that Earl Hayne was ill and unable to come on the night of the birthday party.
Next to her, John clenched his fists tightly, determined in his grief to completely get rid of the evil in the darkness!
Piola, Sharon and others in the town square thought of the unsmoothness of their musical careers and the long and painful journey to Aalto.
Lilith and Sara may be the ones who can best understand the Lucien emotions contained in the melody, the ubiquitous danger, and the irresolvable depression.
There are always many ups and downs in life, and everyone has their own sadness!
A series of pouring fast notes ends the introduction, and the music turns to Allegro, with an exciting and exciting melody that challenges the darkness, like a giant gun clapping against the rock, giving people an uplifting feeling.
The melody becomes light and bright from time to time, presenting the beautiful expectations for life.
However, the repeated appearance of the tragic theme in the introduction makes it impossible for people to resolve the sadness and pain in their hearts even if they hear such a passionate and clear powerful melody. On the contrary, because of the staccato of the theme, they accumulate depression in their hearts, and they seem to feel uncomfortable and nauseated in the silence.
The feeling of wanting to let the struggle break out.
Even the light melody seemed very gloomy amidst such heavy depression.
The depression became heavier and heavier. Looking at Lucien's fast and rhythmic playing with difficult difficulty, Grand Duke Violet felt that he was about to suffocate. It was like hearing the pain when his eldest son died in the northern fortress.
It was like seeing the despair when the lady who gave up her own future for the love between two people reached the end of her life.
"I will never see my brother again, and I will protect the Violet family from now on." Natasha murmured to herself about the pain and determination she felt when she heard about the fall of the northern fortress in that dark and gloomy winter, and told how she clung to the hospital bed.
The oath he made when he took his mother's right hand, "Mom, I must become a true knight!"
Count Verdi's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he obviously had his own pain and depression.
Marcus, who was sitting in the seat below, looked at Lucien's flying fingers for a long time, then slowly lowered his head and let out a long sigh.
Sylvia looked melancholy and painful, and her eyes seemed to be looking at the box above.
But in the Municipal Square, Pierre could no longer suppress his emotions in such music, and suddenly burst into tears, full of deep unwillingness and suppressed sadness. He knew very well in his heart that his father's playing art might really be lost to Lucy.
replaced by En's piano playing skills: "I'm sorry, father, I'm sorry, I failed!"
In their shared depression, Lilith and Sara also experienced Lucien's firm persistence and never giving up hidden in his music.
The first movement gradually comes to an end, the melody becomes more firm and powerful, and the heroes charge forward towards the darkness and evil with a slightly tragic but not sad atmosphere.
Lucien thought that after today he would be able to go to a place where he could learn magic with peace of mind. He thought of the rewards of never giving up in the face of difficulties. His will became stronger, the melody became more powerful, the light was in front of him, and victory was in front of him!
Then a few high-pitched, passionate and decisive notes sounded, making people feel that the tragic and gloomy atmosphere was completely dispelled, and the depression in their hearts was vented.
Everyone exhaled slowly, as if their bodies were being baptized by music inside and outside, and all kinds of negative emotions were discharged.
Then the second movement began, and the song-like melody was like warm sunshine shining on the hearts of every audience member, clear and shining. The multi-part coordination was warm and beautiful, soothing everyone's souls.
After everyone recovered from the sadness, the music entered the last movement, and a melody like raindrops sounded. Christopher and other musicians and civilians once again saw Lucien's hands playing on the piano at an unimaginable speed.
, letting notes burst out one after another, rendering vigorous vitality and high-spirited emotions, full of bright atmosphere.
It's the dazzling and jaw-dropping hand movements again, and the brilliant and majestic playing skills. Everyone's emotions are once again aroused, flying with the music, and going crazy with the melody!
After a series of water-drop-like notes, Lucien pressed hard, and a trademark accent burst out powerfully, ending the entire piece of music.
The expressiveness and appeal reached their peak at this moment. The repressed emotions in the hearts of the Grand Duke and others were completely released. They all stood up from their seats and applauded like thunder to Lucien who was paying tribute on the stage.
In the municipal square, in addition to applause, there were also crazy cheers! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Piaotian Literature to recommend this work as a registered member. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
