The music fans panting up the hill looked up at the destination they had finally arrived.
There were still more than twenty workers on the arch top stepping on the suspended scaffolding, performing final stress checks and fine-tuning of the bronze skeleton device inside the wooden structure, and the clicking sound of gear choking is clearly audible.
The art critics waiting and socializing below have to argue with their voices:
"Did you see that big oval thing? It is said that its acoustic design is specially customized for this musical, a composer, a work, a theater. Hey, what is the ultimate!"
"What's that! Edward Malay, the musical director, also requires the stage to rotate slightly with the rhythm of the aria, just like the sailing boat of Tristan is bumping in the sea of lust!"
Performance backstage.
Ms. Beshe, editor-in-chief of "Kyle Isum Review", squeezed into the vent of the prop warehouse, and the pencil quickly recorded the internal conversation he heard-
"Director Malay customized a seven-layer gradient tulle skirt for the heroine in the second act. Every step you move will refract the 'moonlight' of different color temperatures..."
"What? You ask how to solve the color difference caused by problems such as scattering and ghosting? The crew used the newly invented electric arc lights in a unique location!"
Remember, the door of the warehouse next to it opened with a click, and bodyguards surrounded the gentleman wearing sunglasses appeared. On behalf of the investor Prince Louis, the director of Hoffman phonograph company personally escorted the special sound pickup equipment to the scene!
It is said that these brass horns wrapped in cashmere can accurately capture the "high-frequency overtones like angels sigh"!
After witnessing the sound pickup equipment going to everyone, the director supervised the engineers doing the final debugging in the basement.
The pointers of thirty recording equipment trembled with the sound test from afar, like a divination rod waiting for an oracle!
Theater hall.
"Clang—" "Clang—"
The second bell reminder rang in the first 5 minutes of the performance officially.
The last wave of spectators who were stranded by severe congestion finally came to the venue to look for seats without any danger.
The female attendant in silver uniform began to shuttle between the front rows of the Gujanus-style staircase, delivering truffle-heart chocolate to the guests.
The Marquis McAdam and his wife in the seat were the first to get two small pieces.
"Is it such a detail?" The Marquis took apart one and shook his head and smiled.
In the rich and tempting fragrance, under the faint and comfortable waiting gas light, she saw that the piano score of the Prelude could be vaguely seen on the gold foil wrapped in it.
This is the "limited food" urgently developed by Genevieve Candy Factory.
The manufacturer noted in the advertising slogan that the wine heart used was the "Death of Love" red wine pre-sale by Piodot Winery, and claimed that the "melting temperature of the chocolate accurately matches the body temperature of the human body when the aria reaches its peak"!
Time entered the countdown to approaching 8 o'clock in the evening, and the dark lights used in the waiting place began to go out one by one.
When the last waiting field gas light was swallowed by the acoustic dome, three thousand electrical arc lights made a trembling buzzing at the same time. The audience burst into screams and was crushed by the sudden roar of the steam pipe!
Sixteen copper-clad pillars sprayed out mist mixed with rose essential oil, turning the entire step-stage theater into a furnace for the secret atmosphere!
"Lord, why is my perfume bottle resonating?" In the layers of seats on the side, several ladies were trembling in shock to find that the liquid in the crystal bottle was trembling with some strange frequency!
"Waolala--"
The metal chain slid sharply, and twelve brighter scorching beams pierced the darkness, focusing on the orchestra slowly rising on the stage, and on the podium rising higher in the center of the orchestra!
Fanning, wearing a black tuxedo, stood with her back to the audience, and the thistle medal "St. Yaninggo, the light-fucking man" worn on her clothes flashed with a sharp blade-like light in the hot light!
"Master Fanning!"
Unexpectedly, the conductors and musicians were already in place! It was completely different from the usual "sequential" entry!
A fanatical cheer was even more than the "resurrection" of the past.
"Master Fanning!" "Master Fanning!"
The roar of mountains and tsunamis made the crystal chandelier tremble faintly. Finally, the labor phalanx in the station ticket area took the lead in stomping the march rhythm with work boots. The ladies waved the track list wildly and held up the single tube provided by the sponsors.
telescope.
Unfortunately, the orchestra pool that they met briefly rose and landed quickly after it was raised.
In the audience's telescope, Fanning raised his right hand and shot the shooting action, leaving only a shadow on the upper body projected onto the wall!
The scene of the whereabouts of the wreckage of "old days" was magnified into a slow motion like a god's edict, which also made the audience suddenly silent!
"Tristan and Isolde", "Prelude", starts with filming!
Luo Yiyun's bow and finger fell, and the cello "Janandrea" played a single melody that was suspected to be a minor.
First, it jumps from the A tone to the F, and then goes down from the semitone to the E tone, showing extremely dark and depressing lines.
Then, on the fourth #G note, a strange chord is raised by the woodpipe group!
"Buzz!"
Severe, desperate, and a spasm like an electric shock!
"This chord!?"
In fact, there were quite a lot of listeners present, and they had already heard the piano version of this Prelude.
This dark, depressing, and full of fateful predications is indeed very wonderfully written.
But they didn't think there was anything newer in this chord, a newer structure than modern avant-garde music!
"F is the root sound, and then go upwards to form four notes, including B, D#, G#, and four notes." Many musicians re-confirmed the listening experience, "That's right, these four sounds, isn't this one half minus seven
Are chords?"
"Well, maybe it's a miracle of orchestration techniques, I admit that Master Fanning is well aware of this."
"But reasonably, if this piece of music is judged as a minor according to the harmony function, then this is just a chord with a five-toned sound that is heavy genus 43, and the function is to prepare for the genus function."
There are still several romantic art masters trying to dismantle the inspiration.
The melody under Roy's bow did not stop, but changed to a semitone upward, still with a wandering and depressing aura.
Sure enough, in the third beat, the band's harmony switched to the regular seventh, and the melody of the cello also stayed on the fifth level E in the a minor.
But Roy then left the bow.
The melody ends without success.
"Hmm? It's gone?"
"Yes, I remember that the harmony was not resolved at all."
"If you don't solve it on a minor, how do you prove that it is a minor? How do you confirm the center of this terminating form?"
At this time, the original orchestral version of "Prelude" amplified the depression of "tight but not loosening", making people who have heard it in advance and have never heard it feel like they are scratching their hearts and lungs.
“B—#G—G—B!”
The motivation for the cello to sound the prelude again is to move up by one minor degree overall!
"Buzz!"
The grim and eccentric chord like an electric spasm rose again!
The music seems to have started to change the tune from the 5th section, from a minor to c minor, the seventh chord used to prepare also appears as scheduled.
However, the melody ended again without success!
There is a blank space, no solution at all!
In the anxious silence, the cello's motivation to play the prelude again, once again, translated up again!
The tone of the entire Prelude becomes extremely blurred! The tone becomes extremely obscure!
"This chord, this chord, is impossible to speculate, analyze, and is impossible to name it!"
Emotions are gradually tightened, but they are never resolved.
The listeners' fingers were frozen tightly, but the track list they grasped was loose and trembling violently!
If you don’t talk about all the listeners, just those who understand some art. What color does the half-subtract seven chord sound like? How could they not be familiar with it?
But at this moment, when it was translated by the band again and again, the Bayreuth Festival Theater, carefully transformed by Malay, became a mysterious temple like a whirlpool of despair and terrifying! - The sunken orchestra will
The orchestra is completely covered, the wooden structure of the audience seat is arranged in a golden ratio, and the sound waves form a perfect resonance field in the space!!
“It is a proprietary and indescribable thing that can never be deconstructed with past musical cognition or experience!”
Even the avant-garde and new groups here are now lying in their seats due to the terrifying spiritual vibrations in the theater!
These rebels who pursue more exciting audio would probably never dream of dreaming that one day they would be defeated by a "late romantic" work!
"I'm afraid, I'm afraid, only by calling it a 'Tristan chord' and acknowledging that it is a symbol of this drama can I eliminate my cognitive fear!"
