Movement 5: The Angel Tells Me (5): Erlknig! (2-in-1)
It was late at night and past one in the morning. This duel, which lasted for more than five hours, was plunged into the greatest uncertainty and controversy at this time. Jiu
"Poet Senesino, what do you think of this whole matter?" Archbishop Fields asked the teacher involved.
"Mr. Scheele is truly the contemporary king of love songs in the South." Senesino laughed happily after hearing this.
"From "The Song of Lucter" to "The Beautiful Mill Girl" and then to the last "The Poet's Love", this person may have the appearance of a 'crescent moon', although I am also in the position of a 'forged lion'
But I am also sincerely convinced.”
"So, haha, luckily it's not me and Mr. Scheele competing tonight. Fortunately, the content of the competition is not composition but singing."
There is nothing wrong with his evaluation and emotion, which fully satisfied the audience's enthusiastic and high emotions towards Scheler, and also completed the "differentiation" and "foreshadowing" in secret.
What follows finally gets to the core of the conflict, and it can be said to be watertight:
"As for the issue of determining the candidates, we 'athletes' are not suitable to express our opinions on behalf of the 'referees'. If we have to ask for opinions, I can only say that it is recommended that the organizers first clarify whether the rules are followed, and then clarify whether the facts are consistent."
Whether the rules are followed and whether the facts are consistent
The hall continued to be noisy, with everyone in the audience watching, and there was another silence at the judges' table.
Several famous singers saw that their teacher Lucter had not expressed his position for a long time, and they knew that the matter was not as simple as the other party's superficial doubts.
On the surface, Prince Eleanor was asking Miss Nightingale's supporters to prove that "the resurgence of the flower bouquet was caused by "The Poet's Love"", but in fact, the "main hole" he dug was not this.
layer!
Because the premise he said is "to take a step back", it is "if the church does not recognize the first, let's discuss the second."
The person whose light shines brighter will be known as a famous singer. This is the clear and only rule of the Southern Kingdom over the years.
Even if Rückert or the church or Scheler himself proves this difficult-to-prove problem... it will not be equivalent to the fact that Miss Nightingale shines brighter. If she is recognized as a famous singer just because she "proves the correlation"
If so, it means that the church really does not recognize the traditions it has established over the years!
Just because a person achieves thing A, we cannot assume that she has won a competition based on thing B.
And after the bouquet gradually rekindled, many listeners tried to bend it again to see if they could give the light to Miss Nightingale again, but this resurgence was indeed different from the original state, and there was no reaction when bending. This Ellie
Prince Nuo had observed this before, so he decided to question the daughter of his family like this.
He threw out a proposition that was not only difficult to prove, but also useless to prove.
Whether it is Master Lucter's "character", his position as chief commentator, or his extraordinary strength, he can force things to be settled. He can even continue his youthful style of "pulling out a gun to persuade someone who disagrees", but
In that case, how valuable the title of famous singer is is a matter of opinion.
This is the more "pitched" part of it.
In the atmosphere that was intermittent on the surface, but actually fierce, An could not help but secretly glance at his teacher.
"Teacher, don't you even look at what everyone is talking about..." Ji
Fan Ning neither looked at the audience nor the judges. At some point, he put his music book on the piano music stand and was writing something at a moderate speed. From time to time, he would stop writing and think deeply.
In fact, as early as "The Love of a Poet" entered the "winter", his advanced thoughts were immersed in the revelation of the entire competition process to himself. The magical piano accompaniment in the ears of others was just another part of the inspiration.
It's just instinctive.
"The essence of the process of tonight's famous singer competition..."
"The essence is that Senesino and Renilla crushed the other contestants with their profound 'Dionysian art'. Even Walter, who comes from a famous family, is inferior to the 'Dionysian interpretation'..."
"And Miss Nightingale, who has both sensual charm and deep desire, won a considerable part of the glory. This prevented her from being immediately kicked out of the game like other contestants. But until I personally accompanied her with "The Love of a Poet", things happened
Only then did things really turn around..."
"The people and judges only say that the profound "Dionysian passion" is surrendered to the even more profound "Dionysian passion". Little do they know that I, a person who does not belong to the old industrial world, have never stuck to a certain school. What I seek is
It is the reconciliation of reason and passion, the fusion of 'Apollinian art' and 'Dionysian art'..."
"Fusion!... By the way, people here don't have these two philosophical terms at all, but the nature of the two opposites is such. Why did I have to suffer so much when choosing the vocal text for the subsequent movement of "Summer Noon Dream"
Are you trying to find it among the poems of this life?"
"When it comes to 'Bacchus' and 'Apollin', the first thing I should think of, the first thing I should think of right away is——"
"Nietzsche!!!"
A few minutes ago, when Fan Ning played the wave-like ending solo of the last song "Elegy of the Past", his thoughts finally opened up. The portrait of the German philosopher in his previous life made him inspired - he felt the excitement in the audience.
The fire of "Nectar" and the spiritual connection between the two of them also began to decide to search for suitable texts in the words left by Nietzsche.
"Does Mr. Scheler have anything to say?"
Fields' voice came up again after a long silence, temporarily interrupting Fanning's thoughts.
The head of the organizer can only continue to see what the personal opinions of the other participating parties are.
But it was just this question that made the audience realize that Scheler's poet seemed to be immersed in his spiritual world throughout the whole process. Even after the performance of "The Love of a Poet" just ended, he didn't take a final call!
The performer did not stand up to salute after finishing the performance. This move is considered shocking, but when it happened to Scheler, everyone felt it was... a bit strange, but not much.
"Huh?" Fan Ning finally raised his head and turned sideways to look at the girl who was immersed in the blue-purple light. "Miss Nightingale sings very well, I like it very much."
Uh... After being praised, An felt relaxed and happy, but on the other hand, black lines appeared on her forehead.
Aren't the judges looking to see if both parties have anything self-evident to say first?
Of course the teacher thinks his students sing well...
If you want to praise me, you can say it later...
Lucter, who had been silent all this time, could not help but cough lightly and reminded:
"Mr. Scheler, regarding the final decision, the Archbishop wants you to make a statement of your opinion in front of a broad audience, such as an argument for the vision or a suggestion for an evaluation method."
Fan Ning glanced at the seats to Lucter's right:
"How come the officers who came from afar have no guidance today?"
He Meng, who didn't show any sense of presence throughout tonight, heard Scheler's tone and thought he was taking the opportunity to tease the discussion group about the investigation of Walter. Thinking of his character, he ignored it indifferently and laughed softly.
He opened his mouth and said:
"The discussion group respects musical talents and the laws of art. The 'Awakening Song' must be realistic, and the same is naturally true for the 'Famous Singers Contest.'"
...Strange, the people in the Special Patrol Office really don't care whether it is "Scheller" or "Senescino" who won the title of famous singer, and took advantage of the opportunity to host the "Flower Ceremony" music ceremony
possibility.
...Well, it’s not that they don’t care, but that they allow it to compete naturally, which can better harvest the public’s admirers and win. Therefore, as the organizer, the church has become more free and uncertain in its treatment of disputes, and also allows the parties involved to make statements. This is different from the Special Patrol Office.
Is it related to attitude?
In fact, Fan Ning had already known about the spiritual connection of immortal nectar, and it was just a test of attitude.
After a brief exchange with the Special Patrol Office, he nodded to express his understanding, and then looked at his students:
"Are you tired?"
Miss Nightingale hesitated for a moment and said honestly:
"I'm a little tired from standing. I feel uncomfortable wearing high heels for a long time. I'm also a little thirsty. I've finished my cold drinks..."
Fan Ning said "Oh", turned back to face the piano, and continued to write in the music book:
"Then think about it yourself. Protecting your voice is more important than winning a small prize. If you can sing, you can sing a few more lines."
A small prize... Hearing that Scheler called this competition that lasted until late at night, and everyone was arguing about it, everyone present couldn't help but feel a violent twitch in their hearts.
Renela on the side blinked and shook her head, making an "unreasonable" expression, while Miss Nightingale's face broke out with a clear smile from the bottom of her heart:
"Thank you teacher for your concern."
"You can still sing again, but is this..."
Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, Fan Ning, who was halfway through, threw the pen to the side at will, opened the octave with his right hand, and struck the two G notes in the alto range repeatedly at high speed!
The image of the elegant and frail poet before disappeared without a trace in an instant. Fan Ning now had an expression that was hard to distinguish between hot and cold, and after-images flew between the keys with his palms, and the airtight and thunderous three consecutive tremolos
, poured directly into the audience like a torrential flood! Jiu
This first shot, something went wrong!
It was like someone slapped the thin wooden board, shaking up the gravel on it - the entire bouquet of rekindled flowers in the opera hall was shaken by this octave G sound, causing spark particles to fly from the inside.
stand up!!
Seeing the pink dots of light flying all over the sky like dust, the audience and judges were instantly stunned.
"sol/la/xi/do/re/mi,re——xi——sol!——"
The left hand joins in the second measure of the tremolo, and the G minor scale rises rapidly by six degrees, and then jumps back down with a pause mark, and the motive repeats at intervals like this.
In the terrifying night, the cold wind rustled in the forest, the horse's hooves galloped, and the frightened calls for help came from the depths of the darkness again and again!
The song that the teacher played at the train station when returning from the Islands... Miss Nightingale immediately understood the prelude when she heard it. She adjusted her emotions and breathing in an instant, put on a cold smile, and sang:
"Who is this running in the dark night and wind? It is the father with his child;
He held the child in his arms, he held him close and kept him warm."
What Fan Ning played this time was Schubert's most representative art song - "Erlk?0?2nig"!
This song uses Goethe's poem of the same name as the text. Schubert was only 18 years old when he completed it. It was ranked as the No. 1 of his own works. The whole song is completed in one go. It is grand and difficult. The singer must complete it in a few minutes.
Playing the four roles, using different tones and singing styles, the four characters of the narrator, the father, the child and the devil are completely different artistic images!
For more than ten sections, Miss Nightingale was still strolling in the courtyard, describing the scene as a distant bystander, but in a blink of an eye, she began to look around, showing the conversation between the cold and dull father and the panicked son during the escape.
"My son, why did you hide your face? Dad, you didn't see the devil?
The devil is wearing a crown and dragging his long skirt. My son, it is just a cloud of smoke."
In the second verse, Fan Ning's accompaniment changed to a very fast triple beat of alternating left and right hands, and every rest was squeezed out.
"Come, follow me, dear child! I want to play interesting games with you;
There are many colorful flowers blooming on the beach, and my mother has many clothes with gold threads.
Dad, dad, didn't you hear the devil made a promise to me softly?
Shut up, kid, be quiet! It's just the sound of the wind blowing dry leaves."
In the extremely tense music atmosphere, Miss Nightingale used a dangerous and charming voice to act as the devil's seductive whisper to the boy, but in the blink of an eye she returned to the tone of the dialogue between father and son.
"What's going on?" Jiu
"It's spinning, they're spinning!"
"What a spectacle!"
For such a dramatic work, the audience had no time to appreciate the wonderful performance of the girl on stage.
Because those light particles flying from the bouquet actually gathered and hovered over the entire opera hall, like a large pink vortex that wanted to suck people into it!
"Smart child, do you want to come with me? My daughters will serve you very well;
They dance round every night, dance, sing, and rock you to sleep soundly.
Dad, Dad, didn’t you see that place where the devil’s daughters are standing in the dark place?
My son, my son, I can see clearly, they are just a few gray old poplar trees."
The devil's whispers of temptation are destroying people's sanity, but the slow father is completely unaware of it. This undoubtedly makes people anxious when they hear it.
In the third verse, the accompaniment texture is changed to arpeggios rising and falling amidst the percussion of the bass.
Fan Ning completely changed his previous melancholy and calm temperament. Everyone could only see his long flowing hair swinging back and forth as the force of the keystrokes rebounded. The sound of the downbeat sound was about to break the strings, and the piano was in full swing.
Under the fingertips of the afterimage, it turned into an aggressive killing machine!
"I love you, and your beauty pleases me. If you refuse, I will use force."
Daddy, Daddy, he is here to catch me now! The devil’s catch is causing me unbearable pain!
The father was frightened, quickly galloped, held the moaning child tightly in his arms, and
When he finally got home, the child in his arms had already died!"
In the last section, the piano accompaniment texture changes into a more explosive two-hand synchronized tremolo!
Under Fan Ning's crazy and hysterical hammering, the pink vortex hovering over the opera hall was like encountering a huge "vacuum pump" or "vacuum cleaner", and was forced to succumb to the king's orders, one by one.
I was "drawn" to Miss Nightingale!
In the penultimate measure, Fan Ning plays a Naples chord with a flat II degree, a weak dynamics of pp, and the only static moment of the piano in the whole song.
Ann's singing continues to smoothly switch between roles, and finally returns to the low and cold narrator's tone.
"The child in his arms has died!"
When the last syllable "war-tot!" (breathing out) was bitten out, Fan Ning's big arms used strength again, and two clean cadence chords made his long hair tremble and flutter, directly declaring a certain sentence.
The fact that a character fails or dies!铎
The whole place was so quiet that there was no sound.
Thousands of figures standing up behind them were frozen in place like wooden sculptures.
Miss Nightingale smiled again, held up her skirt and saluted gracefully towards the audience.
The tens of thousands of red dots that were originally blown away and hovering in the sky converged behind her into a "trail" of light seven or eight meters long, as well as two deep flames floating behind her shoulders.
Red wings!
Fan Ning still did not stand up to take a curtain call after playing the song "Erlk?0?2nig".
He picked up the pen again, and after thinking for a while, he continued to write on the music score as if there was no one there, but he still calmly uttered one sentence:
"Master Lucter, why don't you ask again, who is in favor and who is against?"
