805. Courtship in hotel rooms

[Chapter 4: The last days of serving the emperor]

Qin Jian's face was filled with emotions as he read the chapters and texts.

He changed to a comfortable lying position and started reading word for word.

"I think if it comes out, countless people in Europe will be crazy about it."

"Yada and Kira, I already have the most suitable singer for Kira, Vois, this young soprano who just came to Vienna from Paris. No one is more suitable to sing the role of Kira than her."

"I swear, she will become famous all over Europe because of this opera."

Qin Jian believed it.

"It is so great, but under the tide of enlightenment, it is so small that it is ridiculous."

"I don't have the courage to come up with my new play after playing nine performances of The Marriage of Figaro. In fact, Salieri's advice is correct. My good friend is right. I should properly cover up my dazzling talents."

It’s been a while.”

"So I chose to be quiet for a while and plan to use this time to continue immersing myself in creating some new works."

"But look around me, the intensified moaning and the morbid pursuit of sweet words have almost taken over the art world in Vienna, which makes me feel uneasy in my dormitory."

Qin Jian stopped when he saw this sentence. There were too many '的's in this sentence, so he read it again.

“The Enlightenment trend of thought has made it difficult for music to appeal to religion, and the following of this trend of thought will eventually drive the sense of solemnity and seriousness in church music out of the sky.”

OK, Qin Jian put a question mark here. He first reserved his opinion on Mozart's statement.

“The Enlightenment trend of thought has made it difficult for music to appeal to religion, and the following of this trend of thought will eventually drive the sense of solemnity and seriousness in church music out of the sky.”

Is it because this change affects your interests?

Qin Jian continued reading.

“Even the liturgical music used in the Catholic Church needs to incorporate a quality that lacks solemnity even for serious opera.”

Masses, evening hymns, Passion hymns, Qin Jian made an annotation of Catholic music.

"Everyone in Vienna knows that my mass was an uncommissioned work composed for a specific occasion, subject to permission for payment."

Sure enough, Qin Jian sighed, composers also need to eat, especially a star-like composer like Mozart. The income from his palace title alone could not satisfy his extravagant daily expenses.

"But now my church works are no longer popular. They say I am too serious, so I have lost an important source of income. Coupled with the complete suspension of theater performances, my life has quickly fallen into trouble."

"Yes, I have no money, so I can no longer write those things that I think are self-righteous. I have to try to make changes."

"As the world deteriorates, no one can remain the same forever."

Do you follow the trend of sickly moaning or pursue morbid sweetness?

Qin Jian suddenly wondered if this could be the later romantic music?

He felt that this was possible. He imagined that if Chopin's Fugitives were placed in Mozart's time, what would Mozart's reaction be after listening to it?

Will it collapse?

"But I am not reconciled to all this. I think one day I will create a church work that will be famous throughout the ages."

"I already have a great idea in mind, and I believe it will revolutionize church music."

Qin Jian's heart moved. He instinctively thought about Mozart's unfinished Requiem, and then he became uncontrollably excited.

More or less, Qin Jian mastered Amadeus' last wish, a mission-critical item.

The unlocking condition of each chapter is to help Mozart fulfill a last wish by selecting an option at the end of the chapter.

The content he chooses is the reward he gets.

Three chapters have been unlocked, and there is a high probability that he can be sure that the last chapter of this item must be to complete Mozart's "Unfinished Requiem" in some way.

This is what he looks forward to most.

After a moment, Qin Jian glanced down a few times and found that he had only seen less than a quarter.

What follows seems more interesting.

But he closed the panel in time.

He decided to stop here for now.

Judging from the parts he has read, he has clearly felt his own lack of knowledge.

Terms such as enlightenment trends and religious music may, to a modern classical musician, only be concepts found in Western music history books.

But in the 18th century when Mozart lived, it fully influenced two generations of composers.

Qin Jian intends to continue after thoroughly understanding this period of history, especially the ‘sick moaning’ and ‘morbid sweetness’ mentioned by Mozart in the text and the specific impact of the Enlightenment trend on religious music.

This is about the connection between two important musical periods.

Having completed the premiere of Ya Da and Qi La, Qin Jian is not in a hurry to continue spending time with Uncle Mo.

The next steps are recording, returning to China, Huayun Competition, Spring Festival, and then going to Vienna.

Thinking of the upcoming trip to Beethoven and Bach, Qin Jian felt happy.

He picked up his phone again and saw a message from Duan Ran five minutes ago.

Duan Duan: With whom did you dream about me? Huh?

When Qin Jian saw what he had just posted, "I dreamed of you", he smiled and replied: "Last night!"

'Last night! I dreamed of you!'

Five seconds later.

Duan Duan: Ignore you

Three simple words.

When Qin Jian saw this tone, he thought something was wrong, there was something going on here.

He immediately looked through the chat history between the two of them last night, and there was nothing wrong in every word.

After thinking about it, he seemed to realize something and quickly opened his circle of friends.

When I looked at the fourth photo I just posted, I immediately understood that although the photo was taken from a distance, I could still see him holding Ning Qianxia's hand as he took the final bow.

After finding the problem, Qin Jian prescribed the right medicine, and the answer came to him: 'Honey, I was wrong'

Duan Duan: What's wrong?

"I shouldn't have held her hand to take the curtain call," Qin Jian quickly edited.

Political awareness must be put first.

Then he added: 'But I think you can understand the situation at that time, right'

Without waiting for the other party's reply, he continued: 'I will definitely pay attention to it in the future, don't worry, don't you know about me?'

after a while

Duan Duan: Huh, you know what’s interesting

Qin Jian smiled and told the truth, he was really just doing it for the atmosphere at that time.

Take advantage of the victory and pursue it.

Let It Go: Want the video?

Duan Duan: As punishment, you won’t be able to look at me all day today.

Let it go: Okay~/Grieved

Within three minutes, Duan Ran's video came over.

Qin Jian smiled inwardly, and then picked up with a miserable look.

In the video, Duan Ran was in the piano room, and when he saw Qin Jian's behavior, he smiled, "Tell me, what were you dreaming about?"

Qin Jian quickly became serious and said sternly: "I dreamed that we had sex."

The next second.

The video then hangs up.

Duan Duan: ‘You will be punished by not being able to look at me for two days’

Qin Jian was happy, got up and sang the second movement of Pathetique and put on his clothes.
