By the way, I updated in a hurry last night and forgot to thank you all. Last month we were 13th in the monthly vote list, which is a very good result. Thank you for your support, especially since I didn’t have many outbreaks in July.
It’s still the third update today, please give me a guaranteed monthly ticket~
…………………………………………………………………………
The beautiful piano melody delicately displays Lucien's complex inner emotions, including sweet tenderness, touching melancholy, and indescribable sadness, just like the cold moonlight quietly spreading under the night sky and the dancing silver scales.
The quiet lake brings all the listeners into a beautiful and dreamy world of tranquility, with resonant emotions slowly flowing through their hearts.
I don’t know how many people have forgotten their irritability and urgency at this time, I don’t know how many people have become peaceful and meditative at this time, and I don’t know how many people suddenly find tears falling from the corners of their eyes...
The first movement slowly disappeared in such a peaceful atmosphere, but soon the brisk and lively second movement was played, as if to comfort everyone's soul, showing them a gentle and joyful smile, perfectly expressing
There were emotional changes.
The musicians who woke up from the quiet and melancholy aesthetic music atmosphere looked at each other in surprise. Perhaps the ordinary people and nobles who were completely infected by the music and could not think more did not notice, but they were keenly aware that the two
There is almost no pause between each movement, it is extremely compact, but the effect is surprisingly good.
However, they did not delve into the reasons for this for the time being and continued to listen carefully, because it was not possible to hear the "Moonlight Sonata" played by Mr. Lucien Evans anytime and anywhere. What they needed to do now was to appreciate it and not waste it.
opportunity for this concert.
The bright, delicate and flower-like second movement gradually deepened, but just when everyone was about to take a break and make some adjustments to enjoy the intense melody that followed, Lucien played the third movement directly without pausing.
The surging, fast-boiling notes lifted the hearts of the audience at once, and they felt the uncontrollable enthusiasm and unrestrainedness, as well as the tension and rush of picking flowers on the edge of the cliff.
They saw Lucien's hands jumping and dancing as if they had the power given by the gods, expressing each very complex piano technique into a beautiful and intense melody and a charming side-playing figure. This was the same as his first performance.
The melancholic prince-like elegance of the movement is completely different but gives the same visual impact.
A few iconic high-pitched notes ended, and everyone's hearts fell back to where they were. Then they burst into violent applause, as surging and continuous as a torrent.
Betty, who was carrying a short bow, happily said to her sister Joanna and brother-in-law Simon: "Compared with Mr. Evans's performance, the "Moonlight" we have listened to before is just average. It has that unique melancholy, tranquility and sweetness.
They couldn't express the sadness at all, and Mr. Evans' performance in the next two movements was even more impactful."
Three years have made her become a lot more professional in music appreciation.
"Yes, of course there is a huge difference between great musicians and ordinary musicians." Joanna looked at the crystal wall and agreed with a gentle smile, "Betty. I remember Mr. Evans promised you that he would play for you in private.
A piano piece?"
Betty's face turned red immediately: "Sister, don't laugh at me. I know I still have a long way to go before stimulating the power of blood, but I will work hard. I will work hard!"
The prerequisite for the original agreement was to become an official knight.
"The Principality of Violet is close to the Dark Mountains, giving us many opportunities to practice. There is no place more suitable for us to stimulate the power of blood through adventure than here." Simon felt that after more than two years in the past two years, he has become a high-level knight.
The servant's strength has improved again, and he is one step closer to stimulating the power of his bloodline.
Betty nodded first, and then looked sweetly at Lucien, who was taking a short break at the piano to prepare the second sonata: "Actually, I know that Mr. Evans's agreement was just to encourage me, and I didn't really expect him to do it.
Play a song for me in private. I am very satisfied to be able to experience his concert like this. Of course, I will not relax my efforts or desecrate this very important and beautiful encouragement and 'dream' to me.
.”
Glinton, who was on the edge of the town square, applauded with satisfaction and enthusiasm, and kept talking to the people around him: "The "Moonlight" in Mr. Evans's hands is really beautiful. I have never been able to hear him play it in person."
It’s a pity. Hey, will you feel nothing when listening to other people’s playing in the future? This is the difference between master pianists and other people!”
Inside the Psalm Hall VIP Underwriting.
"It turns out that each movement of "Moonlight Sonata" should be compact without pauses, so that the emotional changes can be clearly contrasted, the melody is continuous and cohesive, and create a perfect feeling." Natasha woke up from the beautiful atmosphere brought by the moonlight and discussed
Speaking of this special technique, "No wonder I always felt something was wrong when I played by myself... He didn't even mention this in his letter..."
"Maybe he thought that you, Princess, could understand his idea, so he forgot to write down some performance requirements." Christopher said half-jokingly.
Lucien only contacted Natasha after he went on a trip to collect information. Even the letters to Joel, John and others were delivered through her, although everyone knew that this was the most convenient and fastest way, because he could borrow the tiles.
The intelligence system of the Principality of Orit, etc., but most people have a certain aspect of mind, so rumors are brewing and spreading, gradually confirming a previous rumor. This makes many people who know the inside story look forward to it.
, I like what I hear and see, but I am not satisfied with it, and I am worried and troubled.
Natasha didn't pay attention to Master Christopher's humorous jokes, and seriously discussed everyone's different music processing styles.
Hearing their discussion, Grand Duke Violet glanced at Natasha, waking up from the sweet and sad memories evoked by "Moonlight", frowning slightly but his expression was slightly pleased.
Other musicians and musicians who have played "Moonlight" have compared their own performances, trying to find differences with the "original author"'s performance to make corrections, but they will not completely imitate it, because the "Moonlight" in everyone's heart is different.
is different.
…………
After a short break, Lucien continued to play with emotion, and it was still the familiar "Pathetique". It still had a familiar feeling, but everyone knew how to appreciate the emotion contained in it better than when they heard it for the first time. That kind of pathos and yet
The power of not despairing, grieving but not giving up, makes me more and more aware of the power of music to move people's hearts.
After playing "Pathétique", Lucien made a fist with his right hand and put it to his mouth. He coughed a few times, which made Franz, Grace, Fabbrini and others who witnessed this scene in the background suddenly feel anxious.
.
Fortunately, they quickly regained their composure when they saw Lucien, and stood up to greet him with flushed cheeks like a normal person. Then they sat down on the piano bench again.
"What kind of virtuosic piano passage will it be?" Fabbrini, who had never heard Lucien practice piano because it was a solo, asked Franz and Grace curiously.
In his mind, Franz is Lucien's "assistant" and Grace is his student, so he should know more or less.
Franz shook his head: "Mr. Evans practiced by himself after returning home from rehearsals, and for a great musician like him, no one is required to rehearse before the concert. So I haven't listened to it."
"Me too. But the teacher has made it clear that this is a piano passage that shows off skills, so it should be extremely difficult but slightly worse." Grace made an inference.
At this time, all the sounds in the Psalm Hall and the Municipal Square stopped, because they saw Lucien stretching out his hands and pressing down on the keys.
Then, they seemed to hear countless bumblebees flapping their wings and flying quickly, and the buzzing sound seemed to ring in their ears.
The speed was getting faster and faster, and "bumblebees were flying all over the sky." Glinton and others watched in dumbfounded eyes as Lucien played with his hands at an inhuman speed, producing a strong sense of rhythm and passionate melody like a race, which made everyone
After hearing this, people can’t help but feel their heart beat faster and their whole body is filled with enthusiasm!
"Flight of the Bumblebee", one of the fastest and most virtuosic piano pieces!
At a flying speed, the piano passage of just a few minutes came to an end before everyone could react. The ordinary people in the municipal square were excited and their applause was like thunder!
This is a kind of musical charm that they have never felt before. It seems that under the seemingly normal melody, there is some strange feeling that is freer, more unrestrained and closer to ordinary people.
Christopher, Victor, Othello and other musicians nodded with satisfaction because they saw the extremely difficult skills, but at the same time they frowned slightly because the performance of this music was a bit beyond their ability to accept. It seemed weird and absurd.
.But it’s not a big problem if it’s just a virtuosic piano passage.
Natasha whistled: "It's such a great and touching piano piece. I wonder how fast it can be?!"
She understands that speed is not the main theme. With the strength of her Heavenly Knight, she can play the piano as fast as she wants, but she can still maintain wonderful listening enjoyment while being fast. That is the test for a musician.
…………
The solo part was completely over, and the nobles, musicians in the chant hall, and ordinary people in the town square began to relax themselves in various ways, because there were still two long symphonies to come.
Some of them communicated enthusiastically and praised the previous conductor and playing, some curiously and excitedly discussed the piano passage about the buzzing of bumblebees, and wondered how Lucien Evans was different from other musicians.
Amazed by the wonderful ideas and groundbreaking style...
Fifteen minutes later, Lucien, wearing a black tuxedo, appeared on the stage again, bowed politely, and then stood in front of the band.
"What kind of symphony will "A New Kingdom" be like?" Christopher sat upright, full of expectations in his heart, and so did the other musicians.
For Aalto's music industry, symphony is the mainstream and the brightest and most precious gem in the musical crown.
Lucien's eyes were slightly closed, and he moved the baton in his right hand slowly, following the soothing and open melody played, as if he was telling something or looking at something in the distance.
This excellent beginning immediately made the musicians nod with satisfaction and made other listeners completely calm. It was Lucien Evans!
In the second half of the soothing introduction, the music suddenly becomes surging and turbulent, and the passionate horn seems to indicate a tense and busy rhythm, and a passionate and strong melody.
But the folk style and freer thematic structure displayed in the first movement next made most of the musicians look thoughtful and frowning.
