Fireworks bloomed and lights flashed in the night sky. It was close to eleven o'clock in the evening, but the streets were crowded with people, balloons were flying, and citizens crowded around the traffic slowly moving on the streets.
After listening to the New Year's concert, the two were a little hungry and enjoyed dessert at an outdoor cafe.
The food stores, clothing stores, and taverns within sight showed no intention of closing. The city fountain in full bloom was illuminated by the gas lamp too hard and was dazzling. The aroma of toast and coffee floated from the vendor carts, and the gas lamp was fully turned on.
The whole city is covered with a layer of golden clothes.
In this prosperous industrial city, no matter whether the previous year was successful or disappointing, people always take to the streets to relax for a while and welcome the new fortune, the new Ufranser.
Fan Ning held the notebook in his hand and was staring at the cover for a long time - it gradually became a transfer station for him to record his hidden knowledge and fragments of inspiration.
Why is His divine name called "Endless Fugue"?
It just so happens that fugue is one of the subdivisions of music that Fan Ning is most interested in. In his previous life, he completed two volumes of Bach's "Well-Tempered Clavier", as well as his late "Musical Dedication" and "Fugue's
I have analyzed the form of all the pieces in "Art" and practiced more than one-third of them.
The word "fugue" originally means "chasing" in Latin. Like "canon", it is not a musical genre or a specific piece of music, but a polyphonic writing technique.
It can be an independent piece, or it can be used as a fugue section of a large work. It can also be combined with other parts, such as a prelude or a toccata, to form a composite form, such as the "Prelude, Psalm and Fugue" in today's concert.
.
Take the most perfect four-part fugue as an example. It often opens with a distinctive unaccompanied single melody, called the "theme".
After the "theme" of just a few bars is displayed, the second imitating part enters at the fifth degree above or the fourth degree below, called the "answer", and the first part that originally played the "theme" continues to play at the same time.
The intertwined melodies are called "antithemes".
After that, the third and fourth parts imitate and enter in sequence, and the previous parts continue to develop. The first listening feeling is that the theme "escapes and imitates" among the various parts, and the other melodies "chase and intercept" each other.
Interspersed and interlaced, they form a rigorous and fascinating strange sound effect.
As a perfectly mature product in the history of the development of polyphonic music, the writing and development techniques of "fugue" can almost be equated with the creative techniques of "polyphonic music".
So Fan Ning speculated and added such a fragment of hidden knowledge to make his analysis of the "Endless Fugue" of the Lord of Witness more comprehensive:
"He may also symbolize the divine revelation of polyphonic music creation."
If we want to further deduce more subdivided authority or power of will under the aspect of His control, can we consider it from the perspective of polyphonic music creation techniques?
Fan Ning first wrote two words at the end: "imitation" and "transformation"
But then immediately crossed it out.
No, it's too general and the reference is unclear. If I have to say it this way, the development of all music is "repetition and change".
He began to recall the advanced development techniques in polyphonic music writing that he had learned and summarized in his previous life, and then listed the outline after that sentence——
"Transpose":
"Retrograde":
"Expansion":
"Reflection":
"Close connection and response":
Fan Ning left a colon and a line break in every word, preparing to analyze it carefully after calming down to see if there was any hidden revelation.
After writing this, he closed the notebook and rubbed his head, feeling mentally exhausted.
Starting from the dismantling of certain inspirations, deducing the hidden knowledge about the Lord of Witnesses will inevitably consume those who know.
Opposite her, Sheeran was looking at Fanning without blinking. After he raised his head, he said, "Caron, the year 913 of the new calendar is coming soon."
"Yes." Fan Ning smiled.
The little girl seemed to be chatting and sharing, or talking to herself: "Just now, while you were concentrating on writing, I was recalling how I spent every New Year since I can remember. My grandparents' former residence is in Yi, further south of Ufranser.
The prosperity of Geshi was among the top five in the empire when they were young. Later, it gradually declined, but it still had a strong market atmosphere. Every year, my parents would take my sister and me south for vacation, where I met many lively and lively people.
A carefree new year”
"Later, my grandparents passed away, and the party moved to my uncle's old manor in a small town. There were only three or four relatives who were still alive and in contact. Although my mother and sister were gone, there was still a lot of warmth and expectation at the gathering. Later, it changed
It became you accompanying me and my father, and then this year... To sum up, I found this: families always flock to a center during the New Year. Whenever the oldest relative dies, the corresponding family gathering
The center will disappear, the residence will gradually become deserted, and only memories will remain.”
Fan Ning thought of the various New Years he spent in Ufranser, and then thought of every Spring Festival on Blue Star, and he had some resonance. He nodded and said: "In every New Year in my memory, the people around me and the resort changed.
The line may correspond to growth and old times.”
The little girl asked: "So, where will you go next year?"
"Where to go? What do you mean?"
"You will graduate when I enter school."
Fan Ning was stunned. The next moment after traveling through time, he was involved in all kinds of incredible events. All his plans were realistic and short-term. The only longer-term idea was...
Speaking of which, are "accepting the world with peace of mind" and "finding out the origin and truth of everything" a contradictory relationship, or are they parallel relationships?
"I will go anywhere if necessary." Fan Ning first stated.
Sheeran raised his chin, thought for a while and asked, "Do you think I should spend another four years living at the University of St. Lenia?"
"Should." Fan Ning replied immediately.
"Why?"
"Hidden knowledge and inspiration are the core of a knowledgeable person, and the habit of seeking and the cultivation of scholars are the cornerstones. Study tours are a possible way to advance, but the safest place to start is a church or a university. Without learning, there is no skill.
The pursuit is extraordinary, because the essence of invisible power is not power, but knowledge."
Xilan's eyes sparkled: "What do you mean..."
Fan Ning continued: "Every time after rehearsing at Qiming Church, I would pull you out alone and roam in a clear dream for a period of time. The necessary reserves of hidden knowledge are enough. With your musical talent, inspiration will
Reaching the promotion line faster than them to guide the school, I made a preliminary communication. Based on the old friendship between Teacher Anton and Sir Viadrin, and your sister's civilian experience during her lifetime, I have made preliminary arrangements for the last remaining establishment of the branch.
Booked."
The little girl made a victory gesture, but then looked at Fan Ning warily.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Fan Ning felt a little guilty.
It's purely a friendly favor, and I don't mean any evil intentions.
"This way I will have the ability to protect myself in the future, right?" Sheeran continued to ask.
Girl, if you don't put some thought into chatting, you really can't understand the meaning of your words. Fan Ning read some implication.
However, he neither pretended not to understand nor said anything against his will. He talked about the topic that the little girl actually wanted to talk about: "At present, I still want to reopen my father's Turner Art Museum, and if conditions permit, gradually establish
A symphony orchestra, professional and high-level. All this needs to continue to unfold from this city."
"But it is difficult to predict where the road on the mysterious side will go, so I will go to any place outside of Ufranser if necessary." Finally, Fan Ning reiterated what he said before.
"If I really succeed in being promoted, I will imitate your tone immediately. What do you think?" The little girl snorted deliberately, but judging from her expression, she was in a good mood.
"Of course it can." Fan Ning nodded.
A large number of fireworks suddenly exploded together, golden yellow mixed with fiery red, making the carriage shine brightly.
Xilan smiled at this time: "There is something I forgot to tell you."
