… … …
The beautiful piano melody delicately showed Lucien's complicated feelings. There was sweetness, melancholy, and indescribable sadness. It was like the cold moonlight under the night sky and the quiet lake that was jumping like silver scales, bringing all the listeners into a beautiful and peaceful world. Their hearts were filled with the same feelings.
It was unknown how many people had forgotten their impatience at this moment. It was unknown how many people had become tranquil and contemplative at this moment. It was also unknown how many people had suddenly discovered that the corners of their eyes had unknowingly begun to shed tears …
The first movement slowly disappeared in such a peaceful atmosphere, but soon, the lively second movement was played, as if it was comforting everyone's heart, showing them a gentle and joyful smile, perfectly expressing the changes of emotions.
The musicians who woke up from the quiet and melancholy looked at each other in surprise. Perhaps the ordinary people and nobles who were completely affected by the music did not notice it, but the musicians were keenly aware that there was almost no pause between the two movements. It was unusually tight, but the effect was surprisingly good.
However, they did not delve into the reason but continued to listen, because it was not always possible to hear Mr. Lucien Evans play Moonlight Sonata in person. What they needed to do now was to enjoy it and not waste the opportunity of this concert.
The second movement, which was as beautiful as a flower, gradually faded away. However, when the audience was about to take a break and enjoy the rest of the intense melody, Lucien did not stop but played the third movement directly.
The surging and fast notes immediately raised the audience's hearts. They felt the uncontrollable passion and the nervousness and urgency of picking flowers at the edge of the cliff.
They saw Lucien's hands jumping and dancing as if they were blessed by the gods. The complicated piano skills were expressed into a beautiful and intense melody, and the charming figure playing from the side. It was completely different from the melancholy prince's elegance when he played the first movement, but it was also visually shocking.
The signature high-pitched notes ended, and everyone's heart fell back to their original place. Then, they burst into applause, like a surging tide.
Betty, who was carrying a short bow on her back, said to her sister Joanna and brother-in-law Simon happily, "Compared with Mr. Evans' performance, the Moonlight we've heard before is just so-so. The melancholy, tranquility, and sweetness that only Mr. Evans can bring out, and the last two movements are even more impactful. "
In the past three years, she seemed to have become a professional in the appreciation of music.
"Yes, of course, there is a huge difference between a great musician and an ordinary musician." Joanna looked at the crystal wall and smiled gently, "Betty, I remember that Mr. Evans promised you that he'll play a piano piece in private?"
Betty's face immediately turned red. "Sister, don't laugh at me. I know I still have a long way to go before I can awaken my bloodline power, but I'll work hard, I'll work hard!"
. "The premise was that Betty had to become a formal Knight.
"The Duchy of Orvarit is close to the Dark Mountain Range, and we have a lot of opportunities to practice. There's no better place for us to take risks." In the past two years, Simon felt that his strength as a senior-rank Knight squire had improved, and he was one step closer to awakening his Blessing.
Betty nodded and looked at Lucien, who was taking a short break by the piano and preparing for the second sonata, "In fact, I know that Mr. Evans' promise was just to encourage me, and I didn't really expect that he would play a piano piece for me in private. I'm already satisfied that I can feel his concert like this. Of course, I won't slack off, and I won't blaspheme this' dream 'that is so important to me. "
Grimm, who was standing at the edge of the square, applauded in satisfaction and enthusiasm, while he kept talking to the people around him, "Mr. Evans' Moonlight is so beautiful. I have no regrets now that I can hear it in person. Am I going to feel nothing when I listen to other people's music in the future? That's the difference between a master pianist and other people! "
In the VIP booth in the Psalm Hall.
"It turns out that the movements of Moonlight Sonata need to be tight without any pauses, so that the changes of feelings can be more obvious and the melody can be more continuous." Natasha woke up from the beautiful atmosphere brought by the moonlight and started to talk about this special technique, "No wonder I always felt that something was missing when I played it myself … He didn't mention it in his letter …"
"Maybe he thought that you, Her Royal Highness, could understand his idea, so he forgot to write down some requirements for the performance," said Christoph half-jokingly.
As for Lucien, he only contacted Natasha when he was traveling. Even the letters to Chorre and John were delivered through her. Although everyone knew that this was the most convenient and fast way, because they could use the intelligence system of the Duchy of Orvarit, most people had the same idea. Therefore, the rumor gradually became the truth. Many people who knew the inside story were looking forward to it, but at the same time, they were not very satisfied and worried.
Natasha didn't mind Christoph's joke, and she started to seriously discuss the different styles of music processing.
Hearing their discussion, the Grand Dukes Of Orvarit took a glance at Natasha and woke up from the sweet and sad memories brought by Moonlight. He slightly frowned, but there was also a bit of comfort on his face.
The other musicians and musicians who played Moonlight compared their own performances, trying to find the differences between their performances and the performance of the original composer. However, they couldn't completely imitate the original, because the "moonlight" in everyone's heart was different.
… …
After a short rest, Lucien continued to play the piano. It was still the familiar Pathétique, but compared to the first time they heard it, they were more appreciative of the feelings contained in the music. The power of sadness but not despair, the power of sadness but not giving up, they felt more and more touched by the music.
After Pathétique was finished, Lucien put his right hand in front of his mouth and coughed quickly, which made Franz, Grace, Fabbrini and the rest of the people in the backstage feel very nervous.
Fortunately, they soon calmed down when they saw Lucien. Blushing, they stood up and greeted him. Then they sat back on the piano stool again.
"What kind of dazzling piano part will it be?" Fabbrini, who had never heard Lucien's piano practice before, asked Franz and Grace curiously.
In his mind, Franz was Lucien's assistant, and Grace was his student, so they should know more or less.
Franz shook his head, "Mr. Evans always rehearsed it himself after he went home. Also, for a great musician like him, no one forces him to rehearse it before the concert, so I've never heard it before."
"Me neither. However, our teacher has made it clear that this piano part is meant to show off his skills, so it should be the kind that is extremely difficult but not as good as the others. "Grace inferred.
At this time, all the noises in the Psalm Hall and the Municipal Square stopped, because they saw Lucien stretching out his hands and pressing on the piano keys.
Then, they seemed to hear countless bumblebees flapping their wings and buzzing right next to their ears.
The speed was getting faster and faster. "Bumblebees Flying in the Sky". Grimm and the others were stunned as they watched Lucien's hands play the piano so fast that it was almost inhuman. The strong rhythm and the passionate melody made people's heart beat faster and their whole body was filled with passion!
Flight of the Bumblebees, one of the fastest piano pieces to show off one's skills!
Under the flying speed, the piano part ended in just a few minutes before the audience could react. The ordinary people in the Municipal Square felt their blood boiling, and their applause was like thunder!
This was a kind of musical charm that they had never felt before. It seemed that under the seemingly normal melody, there was a strange feeling that was more free, more unrestrained, and closer to ordinary people.
Christoph, Victor, Othello and other musicians nodded in satisfaction because of the extremely difficult skills, but they also frowned because the performance of this piece of music was a bit beyond their ability to accept. It was a bit weird and absurd. However, as a piano part to show off one's skills, it was not a big problem.
Natasha whistled, "What a wonderful piano piece! I wonder how fast it can be!"
She knew that speed was not the main point. With her strength as a Heavenly Knight, she could play as fast as she wanted. However, it was a test for a musician to be able to play fast and at the same time maintain a wonderful listening experience.
… …
The solo part was completely over. The nobles, musicians and ordinary people in the Psalm Hall began to relax themselves in various ways, because there were still two very long symphonies to come.
Some of them were exchanging praises about Lucien's conducting and performance, and some were talking about the part where Lucien Evans was buzzing around the piano. They were all amazed by Lucien Evans's creative style, which was different from that of other musicians.
Fifteen minutes later, Lucien, wearing a black tuxedo, stepped on the stage again. He bowed politely first and then stood in front of the orchestra.
"What kind of symphony will 'From New Country' be?" Christoph sat up straight, his heart filled with anticipation. So did the other musicians.
For the music industry of Aalto, symphony was the most important thing. It was the brightest and most precious jewel in the crown of music.
Lucien slightly closed his eyes, and the baton in his right hand moved slowly. Following the rhythm, he seemed to be talking about something or looking at something in the distance.
The musicians nodded in satisfaction at the excellent beginning, and the audience was completely calm. As expected of Lucien Evans!
In the second half of the soothing introduction, the music suddenly became surging and turbulent. The impassioned horns seemed to indicate a tense and busy rhythm, a passionate and intense melody.
However, the folk style and theme structure of the first movement were more flexible than before. Most of the musicians were deep in thought and frowning. (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.)
