— Looking for recommendation tickets on Monday ~
…
The hall of the Aalto Musicians' Associations was as bright and quiet as ever. No matter where you were, musicians were very rare compared to the members of other associations. Musicians were busy with the work of their own bands. Unless they needed to borrow a quiet and well-equipped music room for practice, rehearsal in the concert hall on the fifth floor, or go to the music library to look for music scores and books, they rarely came to the association early in the morning.
Moreover, the creation and practice of music required a quiet environment. The Musicians' Associations had never tried to make themselves a lively and bustling place.
Behind the reception desk in the hall were two beautiful blonde girls. They were talking to their immediate superior, Mr. Hank, who was in charge of the daily affairs of the association. The tall, thin, and serious Mr. Hank smiled as he pointed to a beautiful young girl beside him and gave them instructions.
The young girl was about 20 years old. She had long black hair and a delicate face. What made her even more impressive was the huge white wolf with soft white fur squatting beside her. It looked around quietly and spiritually.
"Ms. Louise, we will help you ask other musicians. If there is any gentleman or lady who thinks they have studied nature music, we will let you know," the girl with the common name Polly said to the new musician in front of her respectfully.
She was really the object of envy and admiration. She was born in a noble family and had a talent for music since she was young. Relying on her inheritance and the money she earned from performing, she accumulated the wealth needed to buy the holy water. This awakened the strange blood in her that made her close to nature and animals. This, in turn, greatly improved her performance and finally made her famous in this music festival.
However, to Polly, the one she truly admired was Miss Elena. Like them, Miss Elena had started off as an ordinary receptionist. She had relied on her own hard work to become a musician with a decent income and status among the citizens. She was the most worthy person to learn from.
Louise smiled and nodded. Politely, she said, "Thank you. Because this kind of music is rarely heard in Aalto, Mr. Hank and I don't know any gentleman or lady who is good at it. You will have to ask them one by one when you meet them."
At this time, the inlaid glass door was pushed open. A young man in a black suit and bow tie walked in unhurriedly. Behind him were several young musicians and musicians.
"Who is he?" Polly had been working at the Musicians' associations for a year, but she had never met this handsome man. Instead, she knew all the gentlemen behind him. But even if she didn't know him, she vaguely felt that he was very familiar, as if she had seen him from afar before.
Hank, who subconsciously turned around, was stunned at first. Then, a bright smile bloomed on his serious face. He quickly walked up to Lucien and said, "Mr. Evans, welcome back!"
"Oh, Mr. Evans?" After being reminded by Mr. Hank, Polly and her companions came to their senses. They had witnessed Mr. Evans's subversive way of conducting and his artistic piano performance at the Aalto Music Festival three years ago. His elegance and craziness had left a deep impression on them. If it weren't for the fact that they had been young back then, they wouldn't have reacted so slowly.
"Good morning, Mr. Hank." Lucien nodded to Hank with a smile. They hadn't seen each other for three years, and Mr. Hank seemed to be more enthusiastic and polite when facing him.
Seeing Lucien greeting them and walking to the reception desk, Polly and her companions excitedly and respectfully bowed to him. "Good morning, Mr. Evans."
Louise, who was next to them, was also slightly excited. "Good morning, Mr. Evans."
Girls of their age had passed their "adolescence" by listening to Lucien's music. Naturally, they had indescribable respect and admiration for him.
Lucien maintained a polite smile and looked at the white wolf whose ears were erect at Louise's feet. "Are you Miss Louise? I heard people talking on my way back, and I also heard your music. Well, it's very good. "
This was the truth. During dinner last night, Lucien had specially asked the hotel's band to perform the famous works of the music festival. Of course, it was the ones that were easy to perform. For example, Victor's "Love Symphony" was large in scale and strict in orchestration. It required a full orchestra to perform the perfect effect. Ordinary small bands could only use the main chord and part of the movement to perform.
"Thank you, Mr. Evans. I still have a lot to learn." Louise thanked him with a blushing face, because a compliment from a great musician like Lucien could strengthen and improve the status of a newcomer. Moreover, Lucien's position in the younger generation was extraordinary. To be admired by someone was definitely the biggest reward.
After greeting Hank and Louise, Lucien looked at Polly and her companions kindly. "Hello, may I ask if my teacher, Mr. Victor, is in the association? Is President Christoph in the association? "
Since the end of the last concert, Christopher had been serving as the honorary president.
"Hello, Mr. Evans." Polly was so excited that she couldn't help but greet him again. "Mr. Victor is currently the director of the association. After the music festival, he had to deal with a lot of things, so he came to the association early in the morning. President Christoph has been coming to the association every day. It seems that he has a new creative direction. "
Lucien nodded slightly. No wonder Natasha asked him to come to the Musicians' associations first. It seemed that she knew very well that Mr. Victor and President Christoph were very likely to be here.
After asking Phyllis, Elena and the others, he found that they hadn't come to the association today. Led by Hank, Lucien walked to Victor's lounge and office on the third floor.
"Good morning, Mr. Evans." Along the way, Lucien met a few musicians that he was familiar with in the past. They all greeted him very politely and respectfully.
Before leaving Aalto, no matter how great Lucien's achievements were or how much praise he received, for the musicians and musicians who had witnessed his journey from a poor boy to a great musician, they couldn't forget the caretaker of the music library and the novice who played the piano clumsily. They always overlapped these images with the successful Lucien. In other words, he became famous too quickly, giving people the feeling that he was a "nouveau riche."
However, after three years, not only did Lucien not fall as quickly as many geniuses, but the two piano sonatas he composed were also above standard. They could be said to be excellent, especially the Moonlight Sonata, which was a classic and was praised as the most beautiful piano piece at the moment.
In addition, Lucien had never returned to Aalto, which gave the people in the Musicians' associations a lot of room for imagination and imagination. Therefore, when Lucien set foot here again, in their hearts, Lucien had already completed the transformation from a genius musician to a great musician. He was a big shot in the music industry that must be respected enough!
In the hall, watching Lucien and Hank disappear together, Polly covered her face with her hands and said excitedly to her companions, "Mr. Evans is even more elegant than I thought. I wonder what kind of music he will bring back?"
"Yes, what kind of music will Mr. Evans bring back?" This was the common thought of Louise and the other young musicians. They were looking forward to it. It seemed that it was more exciting than the previous Aalto Music Festival!
… …
When they were about to reach the third floor, Lucien smiled and chatted with Hank, "I didn't expect President Christoph to still have such a strong passion for creation."
Hank smiled warmly and said, "Although President Christoph has held his last concert, his creation has never stopped. In his own words, as long as he lives, his music will never stop. Haha, after hearing the solemn hymns at the music festival, he was inspired to create a piece of religious music. Unfortunately, there are too many classical works in this field, and it is too difficult to write a satisfying one. So he has not made any progress. "
Before the trend of theme music brought by Lucien, music that simply expressed the beauty of music was the mainstream. However, religious music was more mainstream than that. This was the eternal theme of Aalto after the Cardinal Charlie I established the hymns standard. It was the same in the past, and it was still the same in the present. Lucien could foresee that it would be the same for a long time in the future. Therefore, many classical works emerged, and it was very difficult to surpass the predecessors.
"Religious music …" Lucien nodded thoughtfully.
The two chatted casually and soon arrived at Victor's office.
"Mr. Evans, knock on the door yourself and give Director Victor a surprise." Hank smiled and suggested.
Lucien did not refuse and gently knocked on the door.
After a short and slow knock, Lucien waited quietly. With his keen hearing, he found that Victor was walking slowly to open the door.
He still maintained his original style, instead of becoming arrogant like many directors, who asked from far away and then gave different treatment according to their status.
The door slowly opened. Victor did not change much compared to three years ago. He still had a faint mustache, black curly hair, and blue eyes that were slightly melancholy. A man of his age was neither more mature than a young man, who would change a lot after a few months, nor more mature than a man in his fifties, who would age every year.
However, Victor seemed to be in good spirits. His melancholy had turned into tranquility. It seemed that the completion of "Love Symphony" had comforted him in a sense.
Looking at Lucien in front of him, Victor's slightly doubtful expression froze. Then, he looked up and down, as if to confirm whether it was real or not.
After looking up and down, Victor stretched out his right hand, paused on Lucien's right shoulder for a while, and then patted it down. He said in a gentle and mellow voice, "You're back. You're finally back. It's good that you're back."
Although he tried to hide his excitement and joy and did not let his voice change, he could not control the strength of his right hand that patted Lucien. It seemed that he was using a bit of strength.
This kind of strength was not a problem for Lucien who had the body of a Knight. However, Lucien felt a sincere love from it. This made Lucien feel a bit sad. The lingering homesickness in his heart seemed to have a new feeling. A melody that had troubled him for a long time naturally became complete and beautiful.
Without the burst of emotions, there would be no real music. (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.)
