After introducing Markus, Victor smiled and pointed to Lucien, "This is Lucien Evans, the composer of Symphony of Fate."
"Hello, Mr. Markus." Lucien stood up with Victor and nodded to Markus.
Markus smiled proudly, "Hello, Lucien. You can just call me Markus. When I was in Shakti, I often heard of your name. When I came to Aalto, I wanted to visit you as soon as possible, but Mr. Victor told me not to disturb your preparation for your first concert. "
Markus emphasized the words "first concert". It seemed that he subconsciously felt that Lucien, who had no concert experience, was not worthy of the title of "musician".
Lucien replied politely, "Markus, I often heard Mr. Victor mention you. He said that you are an excellent musician. At the age of 24, you already have a lot of concert experience."
"Being able to have so many concert experience is mainly because I was invited by a lot of nobles during this tour." This was what Markus was most proud of. His smile became a little brighter, and then he sat down on the other side of Victor and showed off his concert experience to Lucien, as well as his knowledge of different countries. For example, Syracuse, which advocated love and was enthusiastic and open, the strict and conservative Holy Helvetic Empire, and Shakti, which worshipped warriors.
Lucien was very interested in this, so he casually agreed with Markus and let him talk non-stop.
When the hall quieted down and the concert was about to start, Markus stopped talking and thought to himself, "Lucien is not as arrogant and shallow as I thought. He seems to be easy to get along with …"
When Markus learned that his teacher, Victor, had successfully held a concert in the Psalm Hall and taught a talented musician in Shakti through Music Criticism and Symphony News, he was very happy and happy. However, as he carefully read the two newspapers, he saw that every review was full of praise for Lucien, even the highest level of praise. As more and more people compared him with Lucien, Victor's disciple, Markus felt like his heart was being bitten by countless rats.
"Why don't you wait for him to hold a concert first? Aren't there many geniuses who have fallen like shooting stars? " When Markus thought of the strange looks and the possible whispers of those people, his good impression of Lucien completely disappeared. Being the court music consultant of Shakti should have been the peak of his life, but because of Lucien's fame, he felt like a complete failure. "And he even prepared a piano solo in such an important concert. He is too arrogant! He is doomed to suffer a miserable failure!"
Markus hid his hostility towards Lucien so well that Victor didn't notice it. Seeing that the orchestra was ready and the old but hale and hearty Christoph was standing in front of the stage in a black tuxedo, he straightened his back and showed his respect for Christoph with his attentive attitude.
In the Municipal Square, Phyllis, Lot, Piola, Grace and other audience members all held their breaths, waiting for the concert to start.
Even the noblest people such as the Grand Dukes Of Orvarit, Princess Natasha and Prince Michel were showing their respect.
The president of the Aalto Musicians' Association, the most famous and authoritative musician on the continent, the living legend of music, was about to start his last concert!
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for coming to my concert. It's been fifty-nine years since I embarked on the path of music. The reason why I'm still standing here at seventy years old is not only because of your support, but also because of the stimulation of a genius. The path he created made me find the passion to create music again, just like an eighteen -year-old boy.
"We will grow old and die, but music will not. Music will never die."
Christoph gave a brief speech for his last concert, and then he turned around in the applause. His right hand holding the baton and his empty left hand gently raised together, and the music started.
The first three symphonies were the best of Christoph's many works in the past. One was strong and full, one was solemn and noble, and the last one was warm and elegant, full of joy and happiness. Under his direction, the orchestra performed the three symphonies very well. The "guests" in the Psalm Hall and countless audience members in the Municipal Square were mesmerized by the music.
This was the music that had been performed for many years, and it was the memory of many people's lives. This was the power of a classic!
During the short break and the long break between each symphony, it seemed that the whole Aalto was bursting with applause.
After finishing the three symphonies, Christoph said tiredly, "Now, my student Sylvia will perform her piano sonata. I'm going to prepare for the fourth symphony."
Seeing that Christoph had left, the nobles and musicians in the Psalm Hall were a bit depressed, as if they had lost something, but the audience in the Municipal Square was more amazed.
"What a classic work. Mr. Christoph is indeed a living legend of music." Piola said to Sharon with a smile.
Sharon nodded seriously, "I grew up listening to the three works just now. It's the greatest honor of my life to be able to attend Mr. Christoph's concert in person."
"A great musician who can be called a 'master' is rare even in the long history, but I think Mr. Christoph is qualified to be called a 'master'." Grace and the rest of the audience were also full of respect and admiration.
In a white evening dress, Sylvia, who looked like an angel, walked to the stage and sat down beside the piano. She put her slender and beautiful hands on the keys and started her performance.
This was her teacher's introduction and help to her.
The fast, slow, and fast three-movement sonata was beautifully presented. Together with Sylvia's unparalleled beauty and temperament, everyone was intoxicated again.
Lucien closed his eyes and listened to Silvia's piano sonata quietly. He felt a bit regretful. Silvia's piano sonata was not free from the influence and limitations of music and instruments in the past. She did not take advantage of the wide range of the piano and the sharp contrast between the strengths and weaknesses of the piano. It was not bad, but it was still a work of the past.
However, it was the first time for her to play in the Psalm Hall, and such a performance was already very good.
After more than ten minutes of the sonata, Sylvia received a warm applause, which made her a bit excited. She lifted her dress and bowed to the audience again and again.
In the applause, Lucien suddenly felt that someone was looking at him. He looked back and happened to see Natasha's smiling purple eyes.
Natasha nodded with a bright smile. Lucien understood what she meant. She was thanking him for guiding Sylvia's piano composition, composition, and performance.
"She is indeed the most beautiful musician." In the Municipal Square, many men and women had the same idea when Sylvia was playing.
… …
After the break, Christoph returned to the stage. After bowing to the audience, he turned around and waved his baton with a serious expression.
The first two bright and powerful notes immediately cheered everyone up. Then the melody unfolded, giving the audience a feeling of being in a battlefield.
When the horn sounded, everyone felt as if their blood was boiling. It was as if a magnificent war scroll had appeared in front of them. Under the leadership of countless heroes, priests, knights, and others were united. They charged forward like a tide, chopping off the heads of giants, crushing the towers of evil sorcerers, and destroying all the demons and devils that had descended upon the world.
Then came the sad movement, as if mourning for the heroes, which was beautiful and comforting. Then came the vigorous development, as well as the tragic, grand, and warm melody of victory.
When the symphony was over, Victor and the rest of the audience finally woke up. They all stood up and gave Christoph the warmest applause.
This is theme music, this is an excellent, excellent symphony!
Christoph was still able to surpass himself in the twilight years of his life. Not only did he accept the new music concept brought by Lucien, but he also created an immortal piece of music!
"Master, Mr. Christoph is a real master!"
Piola announced to his companions excitedly. This was the most touching piece of music he had ever heard after the Symphony of Fate. At this time, he was full of admiration for Christoph. He could not wait to kiss the back of his hand.
Sharon, Grace, and the rest of the audience could not control themselves. They replied with trembling voices, "Master will never let us down!"
"He showed us the epic War of Dawn!"
The Grand Dukes Of Orvarit stood up and applauded. Natasha stood up and applauded. Michel, Verdi, Hayne, and the rest of the audience all stood up and applauded. The applause echoed in Aalto for a long time. This was a tribute to the last great performance of a music legend!
"Ladies and gentlemen, my concert has come to an end. This is the last concert of my life. Tomorrow, Lucien Evans, the brilliant genius, will hold his first concert here," Lucien said to the audience.
"The last concert, the first concert, what a wonderful coincidence. Maybe this is God telling us that music will never stop."
After Christoph's words, all eyes in the Psalm Hall were focused on Lucien.
It was not difficult to tell from his words that he hoped that Lucien would become a music legend in the future, a master who would lead the development of music. But what kind of performance would Lucien bring tomorrow?
Even strangers who had nothing to do with Lucien felt a great pressure at this time.
Lucien, who had already stood up and applauded, bowed deeply to Christoph with gratitude and respect. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
