After accepting Lucien and Rhine's suggestions, Victor took out a very simple piece of music for Lucien to read the music. This was an introductory piano piece he wrote specifically for his music students. Because it needed to be simple, it didn't have too many flourishes.
When played on the original harpsichord, due to its shortcomings, the ornamental sound could only be barely heard. However, when played on the current piano, it has a melodious, pure and beautiful feeling.
Although it can't be called a famous song, it is enough to spread.
As his soul and mental power became stronger through meditation, Lucien's memory is now getting better and better. Even with only a few days of music foundation, he completed preliminary music reading within ten times. With Lot,
Phyllis and other aristocratic students who had been influenced by music since childhood were similar, which made Victor's face show a happy smile again.
"Okay, Lucien, try playing the previous part of the chords yourself. Don't be nervous. It's normal for anything to happen for the first time, but you must remember to keep your fingering. Don't move your fingers randomly when you panic. As long as your fingering is not correct,
If you make a mistake, practice for a while and you will be able to master this piece of music." After Victor explained the basic fingering points to Lucien, he actually asked Lucien to start playing, which was completely unlike the introduction to piano fingering in Lucien's mind.
Just like the tutorial, there is a step-by-step process of getting familiar with the fingering and keys.
Of course, this piece of music is very simple. This kind of direct practice can be combined with the previous part of the introductory piano tutorial to learn the same thing at the same time. Children with simple thinking and logic may have a hard time learning it. But for adults like Lucien, as long as they go through
You can get used to it with lots of practice.
Lucien placed his hands on the keys like holding eggs, looked at the music score in front of him, thought about it quickly in his mind, then pressed it down and started playing.
The notes came out one after another intermittently, and Lucien played it very hard. When he memorized it, he thought it was very simple, but when he actually played it, he found it very difficult. He clearly remembered which note to play, but he couldn't match the key.
When the keys are mapped and I want to direct my fingers to press them, I have to remember the fingering method. I can't make mistakes and which finger to use must be accurate. After I understand these, the extension of the fingers seems to be uncoordinated.
So long after the note in front of Lucien finished, another note sounded, causing the piano room to resound with intermittent sounds like a person's last words before death.
Fortunately, Lucien had gone through intensive training in spellcasting, and had been exposed to so many dangerous situations and scenes of death. No matter how slow he played, he didn't panic. He didn't rush to catch up the notes so that they mispronounced, mixed, or rushed.
There is also a lot of noise throughout the chord section.
Lott, Phyllis and Herodotus on one side listened with thick smiles, not mocking, because it was the same when they played it for the first time, even worse than Lucien.
To laugh at Lucien is to laugh at yourself.
This piece of music was not long, but Lucien played the one-minute melody for more than three minutes. After playing it, Lucien realized that there was a layer of cold sweat on his back, and his forehead was also densely covered with sweat.
The beads of sweat actually made me feel like I was casting spells to kill people in the sewers.
Bang bang bang, Victor took the lead in applauding, comforting and praising Lucien: "Although Lucien, you play very slowly and poorly, but among the ordinary beginners I have seen, you are the only one who can play it for the first time.
Just keep the notes correct while playing. This calmness can help you master the piano fingering faster. However, sometimes, playing music requires you to invest your emotions in the music, and being too calm is not good."
Rhine, Lott and others followed suit and clapped. They had witnessed Lucien's first performance. However, it was impossible for Lott, Phyllis and others to praise Lucien. The nobles and ancestors
The arrogance and pride of scholars made them think that this was nothing at all, especially Herodotus who hated Lucien very much.
After Victor finished speaking, as an equally excellent player of harpsichord and harpsichord, Rhine made a few comments and pointed out Lucien's current problem:
"Lucien, your memory is very good. After you study and play a few more times, you should be able to remember the positions of the keys. Even if you practice to the point where you can react instinctively as soon as you see the score or hear the music, I believe you will still be able to remember it.
It’s been less than a month, but I noticed that the coordination of your hands is relatively poor, which means that the notes you want cannot be reflected in the movements of your hands as quickly as possible.”
"This piece of music is still very simple. In the future, when you encounter highly technical pieces full of gorgeous decorative sounds, or when you encounter complex music with left and right hand coordination, it will be even more difficult. Moreover, this piano now has a forte pedal.
, sustain pedal, etc. In addition to the coordination of both hands, the coordination of both feet must also be practiced well.”
"Of course, this is a matter of proficiency. As long as you can practice hard, you can become a qualified musician in two to three years at the earliest and no more than ten years at the longest. As for whether you are outstanding, it also depends on whether you have musical talent.
.”
Although Lucien knew that even with the guidance of a famous teacher, it would take a long time and hard work to master a musical instrument, but it was a bit inconvenient for him to think of earning his current living expenses, spell casting materials, and magic experiment equipment by becoming a musician.
Disappointment: "Mr. Victor, Mr. Rhine, isn't there a faster way to become a qualified musician?"
"Unless you are a true genius in music and have an unparalleled understanding of music, you may be able to master an instrument in those few months, but unfortunately, you are not. So a solid foundation and long practice are what make you a qualified musician.
The only way is, I don’t want to hear people say in the future that Mr. Victor’s music student is an idiot who can’t even play the piano.” Phyllis, who is good at sarcastic remarks, finally couldn’t help but scold Lucien after hearing his delusions.
His words.
Herodotus listened to Phyllis with a smile, and then pretended to be kind and said: "Lucien, you must step firmly on the solid ground with both feet in order to go farther and faster."
"Yes, Lucien, you have just started learning, don't underestimate the difficulty of learning an instrument." Lott was not as disgusted with Lucien as the other two, and just followed up with a warning.
Rhine smiled: "It is good for young people to have ideals and motivation, but practicing an instrument requires countless times. Although I am good at playing the violin, harpsichord, harpsichord and harp, it takes a long time
It's accumulated. Haha, there is actually a way to master an instrument in the shortest time, that is to stimulate your blood power and become a knight. In this way, the control of the body, hands, and feet will change.
If you are very strong, your coordination will come naturally. Coupled with your good memory, you may be able to become a qualified piano player in a week or two."
"Of course, I don't know exactly how long it will take you to activate your bloodline power. Whether it takes more than a few years or more than ten years."
"Hahaha." Rhine's humorous ending words made Victor, Lott and others burst into laughter. Just look at the number of knights in the principality to see how difficult it is to inspire the power of blood. No matter Lott, Phyllis,
He was still Herodotus, and he was a loser on the road of knighthood. He felt that there was no hope of success if he persisted, so he turned to pursue the road of musician. At Lucien's age, if he wanted to stimulate the power of blood, he might as well hope that he was
Musical genius.
Victor put away his smile: "If you just want to play a complex piece of music well, then if you practice four hours a day for three or four weeks, you should be able to pass the test, but what's the use? Okay, Lucien, step on
Let’s learn piano steadily.”
Lucien had no choice but to nod his head and silently calculated his income and expenses in his mind. His monthly salary was ten silver coins, of which he had to pay three silver coins to Aunt Alisa's house as his monthly meal.
fee.
Although I miss the delicacies of my previous life, including Western food, and want to try making delicious food to comfort myself, I am at the critical moment of learning magic and music, and I really don’t want to devote more time to these things.
There are seven silver nnar left. When the tension in Alto City is over during this period, it will cost about five to six silver nnar every month to buy magic materials. As for rebuilding a secret magic laboratory and purchasing
The glass bottles, glasses, stoves, special jars and other items inside are even more expensive. It is possible to invest all the silver coins that you got from gangsters and cultists.
Of course, the utensils required for these magic experiments, especially glass products, are very sensitive. Given his situation, once purchased, it is easy for others to suspect that they are related to magic experiments. This gives Lucien a headache and he does not know how to solve it.
In addition, Lucien also plans to buy two pieces of black-dyed linen clothing, as well as some shabby fabrics, sewing needles, threads, etc., to sew a robe with a pullover hood to facilitate concealed activities. At the same time,
It is necessary to sew rows of small pockets into the lining of the cloth belt to hold different spell-casting materials, so that when there are too many spell-casting materials in the future, it will be difficult to distinguish and carry them.
Regarding this matter, Lucien could only relieve his depression by laughing at himself: "The pressure of life has made me, a magician, start to learn needlework. What kind of world is this?"
…………
A few nights later, Lucien was using the Soul Library to analyze "Homanz's Choking" again, in order to become familiar with it even though he was unable to cast spells.
In addition, Lucien mainly studied the use of mental power, combined with previous knowledge, worked on changing frequency and other aspects, and was delighted to find that it could leave an imperceptible and weak mark of mental power on the target person.
When it comes to playing the piano, I am just like Rhine said. After the initial rapid improvement brought about by memory, the coordination of both hands has become the most difficult thing at present. I am still practicing the introductory song.
Suddenly, Lucien's mental power vaguely felt that something was approaching quickly.
So Lucien immediately stopped everything he was doing and looked around. Seeing that everything was well hidden, he got out of bed carefully and prepared to cast spells.
Immediately afterwards, there was a knocking sound on the closed wooden window. Three times later, the wooden window that Lucien had locked opened inexplicably.
"Switch technique!"
The familiar magic fluctuations immediately put Lucien on high alert, and at the same time he raised expectations. He would finally see another magician, or a magic apprentice?
A black shadow flew in from the open wooden window, landed on the wooden table, and made a hoarse and unpleasant whine: "Boy, why don't you open the door for the noble Lord Doro and let me do it myself?"
Lucien was a little surprised. This turned out to be a tawny owl. It looked ordinary, but it raised its beak, made a human voice, and looked arrogant.
"Magic pet? Or transfiguration?"
Seeing this, Lucien's heart moved, he acted extremely frightened, and retreated to the bed, trembling.
This strange owl seemed very satisfied with Lucien's performance. He couldn't help but pace back and forth on the wooden table, and then continued to act arrogantly: "Boy, Master Doro knows that you are afraid of fighting with Lucien."
I admire us magical and noble creatures, but I just came to ask you some questions. As long as you answer honestly, Lord Doro will not hurt you."
"Let me ask you, after the witch next to your cabin was burned to death, did any other magicians come to see her?"
