Christoph watched Lucien standing up and saluting him in the thunderous applause. After a long time, he smiled and said, "When Victor and Rhein created the piano, I already felt that it was a brand new instrument. The volume and the quality of the sound were great, and the contrast between the strong and the weak was very obvious. However, I have never tried to compose music for this new instrument. I never thought that the melody and the skills that could not be performed on the harpsichord and the harpsichord could be performed on the piano. The piano piece that Lucien just adapted for the piano has been creatively integrated with a lot of violin skills. It's very difficult, and it doesn't seem like something that a human being can do."
"But for a Knight, it only takes a short period of practice." Verdi was surprised that the piano could be played in this way, not that Lucien's skills were very difficult. Therefore, after a short moment of surprise, he returned to normal.
Natasha looked at Verdi with a faint smile on her face, "The changes in fingering skills are nothing for us, but for ordinary musicians, it will take a long time for them to get used to it. What Lucien did was not only dazzling fingering skills, but also broadening the range and contrast of the strong and the weak when composing the piano sonata. So, I'm more and more curious about Lucien's Pathétique and I'm more and more confident about it."
Her words were simple, and the nobles who did not know much about music understood that the update of the instrument would definitely bring changes to the music, and Lucien was walking in front of everyone.
"I restrained my curiosity and did not read the music score of Lucien's Pathétique, but Victor mentioned that Lucien did make a lot of changes to the style, structure, and skills of the piano sonata. Haha, it seems that I'm getting old. I've been focusing on the composition of the War of Dawn instead of studying the piano." Christoph said humorously.
The Grand Dukes Of Orvarit also laughed, "Maybe I'm getting old too. When I heard Lucien's magnificent performance just now, I was not as excited as a young man. Instead, I felt that it was too intense for me to get used to. Of course, this does not mean that Lucien's piano music is excellent in terms of melody and skills, but I hope that this Pathétique can bring us a different feeling. "
Natasha wrinkled her nose but did not refute her father's words. She secretly thought, "Lucien's performance was so charming and powerful. I have to learn Lucien's fingering skills as soon as possible!"
Seeing that Lucien's performance had not been awkward, Phyllis and John had not been silent for the three times in a row, they felt a bit more relaxed.. As long as the last piano sonata was well-received, Lucien's concert would would be over..
…
In the municipal square, Pieroux stared blankly at the stage behind the crystal wall. Listening to the applause around him, he whispered sadly to himself, "It shouldn't be like this. It shouldn't be like this. His fingering and playing skills are all wrong!"
But when he thought about how he was also immersed in the passionate piano melody and the wild and romantic fingering performance, Pieroux could not accept and hated himself even more. It seemed that only by scolding himself could he confirm that his father's performance art was correct and immortal.
"Yes, yes, yes. His previous piano music was piled up with skills. There was no theme or connotation that he advocated. It must be that even he himself could not accept his own fingering skills! It must be like this! "
Pieroux, who was in a trance, did not notice that Lucien had reappeared. He sat in front of the piano again and closed his eyes, brewing his emotions.
Piola, Lilith, and the audience in the square suddenly quieted down, waiting for the last piece of Mr. Evans's concert.
"Can it replace the symphony and let the concert end in a climax and perfection?"
…
Sitting in front of the piano, Lucien was in deep thought. He knew that he had no problem playing Pathetique as a Knight. However, the reason why the first movement of Pathetique was the most difficult of the three movements was that it contained strong emotions and thoughts. Without the integration of emotions, the only thing that came out was a series of mechanical notes, which made it easy to judge whether it was good or bad.
Sad and depressing scenes flashed through Lucien's mind one after another:
The voices and smiles of his parents, unable to see them again, and irreparable regret and sorrow;
The fear, trembling, helplessness, and resentment when he was forced into the sewer by the pastor;
The anger and grievance when he was besieged by the gangsters;
The pain, self-blame, and resentment when he learned that Chorre's family was kidnapped by the cultists;
His grief and rage at the sight of the three severed fingers;
…
Lucien found that the most depressing thing for him was that he was in the City of Psalm in Aalto!
When he was meditating, he was worried that the night watchers would notice the unusual waves of spiritual power inside the house;
When he was doing experiments in the magic lab, he was worried that the noise would be noticed;
When he was practicing magic, he had to be careful not to leave any obvious traces;
When he was in meetings with the magic circle, he had to hide his real identity, fearing that he would be bullied or that he might be a spy from the church;
When he was acting as a professor and rescuing hostages, every step was dangerous and thrilling. Every step was like walking on the edge of a cliff. If he was not careful, he would become a sacrificial object or a sacrifice on the stake. It was very stressful, depressing, and unsettling.
It was not until now that Lucien realized that his heart was full of negative emotions, so he guided them out and prepared to explode.
Lucien stepped on the pedal to the floor and heavily smashed the set of notes that came from his heart!
Clang! The strings in the piano seemed to be shaking! It was shocking!
Then, the deep and gloomy melody came out slowly, bringing with it a strong sense of tragedy!
This was Lucien's depression and sadness from the bottom of his heart. It was his desperate desire to get rid of the shackles and live a peaceful life!
The Grand Dukes Of Orvarit had already sensed the intense atmosphere of tragedy. It was like the dark and gloomy clouds before the summer rainstorm, like a heavy stone pressing on the heart, like an indescribable sadness.
The Grand Duke was not the only one who had such a feeling. No matter if it was a noble or a civilian, as long as they had rich life experiences, they all had the same feeling. They were all affected by Lucien's emotions through the resonance of the music.
Natasha felt as if she had returned to the winter of that year, when the sky above Aalto was covered with dark clouds, which was very depressing, as if something bad was about to happen.
Christoph thought of his wife, who had accompanied him for nearly fifty years, but left him first. He thought of his son, who had been destroyed by the pressure of his reputation. He would rather work hard and face the fierce kobolds and gnolls than step into the piano room.
"There have been too many sorrows in my life, but I can only remember your smile clearly, Winnie." Victor closed his eyes and quietly listened to the slow introduction of the tragedy.
When the melody sounded in Phyllis's ears, she naturally thought of the pain and sadness she felt when she heard that Hayne Count was sick and could not come to the birthday party.
John, who was next to her, clenched his fists tightly. In his sorrow, he was determined to get rid of the evil in the darkness!
In the Municipal Square, Piola, Sharon, and other people thought of the difficulties in their music career, and the long and torturous journey to Aalto.
Lilith and Sala might be the ones who could understand Lucien's feelings the best. The danger that was everywhere, and the depression that could not be dispelled.
There were always a lot of obstacles in life, and everyone had their own sorrow!
A series of rapid notes ended the introduction, and the music turned into an allegro. The passionate melody, which challenged the darkness, was like a huge wave hitting a rock, giving people a feeling of exhilaration.
The melody became light and lively from time to time, presenting the beautiful expectations of life.
However, the repeated appearance of the tragic theme made the audience unable to dissolve the sorrow and pain in their hearts even when they heard such a clear and powerful melody. Instead, because of the intermittent theme, it made them feel suppressed in their hearts, as if there was a feeling of discomfort and disgust in their silence that made them want to struggle and explode.
Even the light melody seemed very gloomy in such a heavy and oppressive atmosphere.
The depression was getting heavier and heavier. Looking at Lucien's fast and rhythmic playing, the Grand Dukes Of Orvarit felt like he was about to suffocate. It was like the pain when he heard that his eldest son died in the Northern Fortress, and the despair when he saw his wife, who gave up her future for the love between the two of them, reaching the end of her life.
"I will never see my brother again. In the future, the Violet family will be under my protection." Natasha murmured the pain and determination when she heard that the Northern Fortress had fallen in the dark and gloomy winter, and the oath she made when she held her mother's right hand on the sickbed. "Mother, I must become a real Knight!"
Count Verdi's face was gloomy. Obviously, he also had his own pain and depression.
Markus, who was sitting in the seats below, looked at Lucien's dancing fingers for a long time. He slowly lowered his head and sighed.
Sylvia's expression was melancholic and painful. Her eyes seemed to be looking at the box above.
In the municipal square, Pieroux could no longer suppress his emotions. He suddenly burst into tears, full of unwillingness and depression. He knew very well that his father's art of playing might really be replaced by Lucien's piano skills. "I'm sorry, father. I'm sorry. I'm such a failure!"
Lilith and Sala also felt the same depression. They also felt Lucien's determination and unwillingness to give up.
The first movement gradually came to an end. The melody became firmer and firmer. The heroes charged forward into the darkness and evil with a little bit of sadness but not sorrow.
Lucien thought that after today, he would be able to go to a place where he could learn magic in peace. When he thought of the rewards he would never give up in the face of difficulties, his will became firmer and firmer. The light was right in front of him. Victory was right in front of him!
Then, a few sonorous and resolute notes sounded, making the audience feel that the gloomy atmosphere was completely dispelled, and the depression in their hearts was vented.
Everyone exhaled slowly, as if their bodies had been cleansed by the music, and all kinds of negative emotions were expelled from their bodies.
Then, the second movement began. The song-like melody was like warm sunlight shining on the audience's heart, clear and shining. The multi-part coordination was warm and beautiful, comforting the audience's heart.
When everyone recovered from the sadness, the music entered the last movement. The melody was sloping like raindrops. Christoph and the other musicians and civilians saw Lucien's hands moving at an unimaginable speed on the piano again, making the notes burst out one after another, rendering the vigorous vitality and high spirits. The atmosphere was lively and lively.
It was the dazzling movements of his hands again, and the magnificent playing skills again. Everyone's emotions were stirred up again. They danced with the music and went crazy with the melody!
After a series of notes like water droplets, Lucien pressed down hard, and the signature accent burst out powerfully, ending the whole piece.
The performance and appeal of the music reached the peak at this moment. The Grand Duke and the others' suppressed emotions were completely vented. They all stood up from their seats and gave a thunderous applause to Lucien, who was paying tribute on the stage.
In the city square, there were crazy cheers in addition to the applause! (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.)
