The hall of the Aalto Musicians Association is as bright, majestic, quiet and cold as ever, because no matter where it is, musicians are very rare compared to members of other associations, and musicians have to be busy with their own orchestras.
For band work, unless you need to borrow a quiet and complete piano room to practice, or cooperate with musicians to rehearse in the concert hall on the fifth floor, or go to the music library to search for sheet music, books, etc., it is rare to arrive at the association early in the morning.
Moreover, the creation and practice of music require quietness, and the Musicians Association has never tried to turn itself into a lively and prosperous place.
Behind the reception desk in the lobby are two sweet and charming blond girls who make people happy at the sight of them. They are chatting cautiously with their immediate boss, Mr. Hank, who is in charge of the daily affairs of the association. The tall, thin and serious
Hank pointed to a beautiful young girl next to him with a smile and gave them instructions.
This girl is about twenty years old. She has impressive long black waterfall hair and a beautiful and delicate appearance. What is even more impressive is that squatting next to her is a huge figure with soft white hair and a majestic horse.
The wolf, it looked left and right quietly and spiritually.
"Ms. Louise, we will ask other musicians for you. If there is any gentleman or lady who thinks they have research on natural music, we will tell you." The girl with the ordinary name Polly respectfully faced the newcomer in front of her.
The musician said.
She is truly an object of envy and yearning. She was born into a noble family and had musical talent since she was a child. She accumulated the wealth needed to buy holy water through her inherited inheritance and money earned from participating in performances, which inspired her strange bloodline to be close to nature and animals.
This in turn greatly improved her playing ability, and she finally became famous at this music festival.
But for Polly, the person she really admires is Miss Elena, because like them, she started out as an ordinary reception girl and relied on her own hard work to become a wealthy citizen with a high status.
Musicians are the most worthy of learning.
Louise smiled and nodded, and said politely: "Thank you, because this kind of music is rarely heard in Alto. So Mr. Hank and I don't know which gentleman or lady is good at it. We can only rely on you to meet each other one by one.
Asked."
At this time, the door inlaid with stained glass was pushed open. A young man wearing a black dress and tie walked in slowly, with several young musicians and musicians surrounding him.
"Who is he?" Polly has been working at the Musicians Association for a year, but she has never met this handsome man. On the contrary, she knows the gentlemen behind him. But even if she doesn't
She didn't recognize him, but she vaguely felt that he looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere far away before.
Hank, who subconsciously turned around, was startled for a moment. Then a bright smile broke out on his serious face, and he quickly greeted us: "Mr. Evans, welcome back!"
"Um, Mr. Evans?!" After being reminded by Mr. Hank, Polly and her companions all woke up. They had witnessed Mr. Evans's subversive performance in the Municipal Square at the Aalto Music Festival three years ago.
His conducting style and artistic piano playing left a deep impression on his elegance and madness. If it hadn't been so long ago and he was so young at the time, he wouldn't have been so slow to react.
"Good morning, Mr. Hank." Lucien smiled and nodded to Hank. After not seeing him for three years, Mr. Hank seemed to be more enthusiastic and polite when facing him.
Seeing Lucien saying hello and walking towards the reception desk, Polly and the two bowed down and saluted excitedly and respectfully: "Good morning, Mr. Evans."
Louise next to her also said slightly excitedly: "Good morning, Mr. Evans."
Girls of their age spent their "adolescence" listening to Lucien's music, so they naturally have indescribable respect and admiration for him.
Lucien kept a polite smile and looked at the two white wolves with pricked ears at Louise's feet: "Are you Miss Louise? I heard people's comments and your music on the way back.
,Well, it’s very good.”
This is the truth. Last night at dinner, Lucien specially asked the hotel band to play famous works at the music festival. Of course, they were easy-to-play ones. For example, Victor's "Love Symphony" needed to be completed due to its large scale and strict orchestration.
Only a large orchestra can show the perfect effect. Ordinary small bands can only extract the main chords and part of the movement to perform.
"Thank you, Mr. Evans, I still have a lot to learn." Louise thanked her with a flushed face, because an impolite compliment from a great musician of Lucien's level, for a newcomer,
Both can bring about the consolidation and promotion of status, and Lucien has an extraordinary status among the younger generation. Being the object of his admiration is definitely the greatest compliment.
After greeting Hank and Louise, Lucien looked at Polly and the others kindly: "Hello, my teacher, Mr. Victor, is he in the association? Is President Christopher in the association?"
After the last concert, Christopher has been serving as the honorary president.
"Hello, Mr. Evans." Polly was so excited that she couldn't help but said hello again. "Mr. Victor is currently the director of the association. He has to deal with a lot of things after the music festival, so he arrived at the association early in the morning. Christopher will
I have been coming to the association every day for a long time, and it seems that I have a new creative direction."
Lucien nodded slightly. No wonder Natasha asked her to come to the Musicians Association first. It seemed that she knew very well that Mr. Victor and President Christopher were very likely to be here.
After asking Phyllis, Elena and others again, and finding that none of them had arrived at the association today, Lucien, led by Hank, walked towards Victor's lounge and office on the third floor.
"Good morning, Mr. Evans." Along the way, several musicians Lucien met that he was familiar with before greeted him very politely and with great respect.
Before leaving Aalto, no matter how much achievements Lucien had achieved or how much praise he had received, for the musicians and musicians who had witnessed his journey from a poor boy to a great musician, it was difficult to forget that music in their hearts.
The library custodian, the beginner who struggled to play the piano... always overlap these images with Lucien after his success, that is, he became famous too quickly, giving people the feeling of a "nouveau riche".
But three years have passed. As time has passed, Lucien not only did not decline as quickly as many geniuses, but also the two piano sonatas he composed have remained above the standard. They are outstanding, especially "Moonlight Sonata" is a classic and is known as the current
The most beautiful piano music.
In addition, Lucien never returned to Alto, which gave the people of the Musicians Association a lot of room for imagination and "brain filling." So when Lucien set foot here again, in their hearts, Lucien had already completed
The transformation from a genius musician to a great musician is a big figure in the music industry who must be given enough respect!
In the hall, watching Lucien and Hank disappear together at the top of the stairs, Polly covered her face with her hands and said excitedly to her companion: "Mr. Evans is more elegant and elegant than I thought. I didn't know he would lead him."
What kind of music will come back?”
"Yes, what kind of music will Mr. Evans bring back?" This is the thought shared by Louise and other young musicians. It is really exciting, and it seems to be even more exciting than the previous Aalto Music Festival!
…………
"I didn't expect President Christopher to still maintain a strong passion for creation." As they approached the third floor, Lucien smiled and chatted with Hank.
Hank smiled enthusiastically: "Although President Christopher has held his last concert, his creation has never stopped. In his own words, life is endless and music is endless. Haha, at the music festival
After hearing the solemn chants on the Internet, he was inspired to create a piece of religious music. Unfortunately, there were too many classic works in this area, and it was too difficult to write a satisfactory one, so there was no progress."
Before the theme music trend brought by Lucien, music that simply expressed the beauty of music occupied the mainstream, but what was more mainstream than it was religious music. This was after Cardinal Charles I established the canon of chants
, Alto's eternal main theme was before, is now, and Lucien can see that it will be for a long time in the future. Therefore, there are many classic works emerging in it, and it is very difficult to surpass the predecessors.
"Religious music..." Lucien nodded thoughtfully.
The two chatted casually and soon arrived in front of Victor's office.
"Mr. Evans, knock on the door yourself and give Director Victor a surprise." Hank suggested with a smile.
Lucien did not refuse and knocked gently on the door.
After a short, slow and unhurried knock on the door, Lucien waited quietly, and his keen sense of hearing found that Victor was slowly walking over to open the door.
He still maintained his original style, instead of becoming arrogant like many directors, asking questions from far away from the door, and then giving different treatments according to different statuses.
The door slowly opened. Victor had not changed much from three years ago. He still had a light mustache, black curly hair, and slightly melancholy blue eyes. A man of his age was neither more mature than a young man.
Great changes can occur within a few months. Unlike people over fifty, aging can be seen every year.
However, Victor seemed to be in good spirits, and his melancholy turned more into tranquility. It seemed that the completion of the "Love Symphony" gave him some sense of comfort.
Looking at Lucien in front of him, Victor suddenly froze with a slightly doubtful expression. Then he looked up and down, as if confirming whether it was true.
After looking at it, Victor stretched out his right hand, first paused slightly on Lucien's right shoulder, then patted it, and said in a gentle and mellow voice: "I'm back, I'm finally back, just come back."
Although he tried his best to conceal his excitement and joy and did not distort his voice, he was unable to control the force of his right hand when he patted Lucien, which seemed a bit too hard.
Such exertion was no problem for Lucien, who had the body of a knight, but he felt a sincere love and care from it, which made Lucien feel slightly sour, and the nostalgia lingering in his heart seemed to have a new meaning.
Feeling, a melody that has troubled me for a long time naturally became complete and emerged beautifully.
Without the burst of emotion, there is no real music.
