"Mr. Victor!" Lot and Herodotus shouted at the same time when they heard that Victor had rejected Lucien's request.
Although Lucien's piano was not perfect, they had no doubts about the greatness of this piece of music. If Mr. Victor could perfect it and turn it into a symphony, it would undoubtedly be the most exciting symphony in the past 100 years. It would be the most beautiful and dazzling jewel on the crown of symphony music. However, Mr. Victor had rejected it?! He had rejected the opportunity to become a famous and great musician!
They wanted to stop Victor and persuade him. Even Phyllis was confused. If she was in Lucien's position, she would not have been able to reject such a temptation.
After Victor made the decision, he felt like he had been liberated. He pressed his right hand down and gestured for everyone to be quiet. Then, he looked at Lucien again.
"Mr. Victor …" Lucien knew that unless he used magic, he would not be able to persuade Victor, who was so determined. Lucien might be hesitant, desperate, or broken down, but he would never go against his own beliefs. Therefore, he stopped after calling Lucien's name. Lucien comforted himself, "Fortunately, Mr. Victor has regained his spirit under the influence of the music. Even if I use the old symphony, with these two new pieces, the concert will still be a success."
Seeing Lucien's expression, Victor smiled. He put his right hand on his chest and bowed slightly to Lucien, "Thank you, Lucien, for letting me hear such beautiful, powerful, and moving music. This is the most touching music I've ever heard. This is a gift from God. It has given me a new understanding of music."
"Lucien, may I have the honor to present such a great piece of music to everyone as a conductor in my concert? I can't wait to share this excitement with everyone. This is what God told us, the tenacity and determination to never give up in the face of difficulties and setbacks. "
"Ah?" Lucien did not expect such a change. He was stunned.
Seeing Lucien's stunned expression, Victor continued to ask humorously, "Are you not willing, Lucien?"
Lucien quickly replied, "No problem, Mr. Victor. Please feel free to use it. I'm just curious. Isn't this your concert?"
"You can be a conductor occasionally. Besides, you're my student." Victor returned to his gentle smile.
"Idiot …" Phyllis's leather boots rubbed against the carpet. Her voice was so low that almost no one could hear it. She was deeply envious and relaxed, because this was a sign that Victor treated Lucien as his real student. If this piece of music could be adapted into a symphony, Mr. Victor's concert would be a great success. She and the others would also gain a lot of "benefits".
Performing a piece of music by a newcomer in one's own concert and introducing him to the audience so that his work would be recognized and his fame would rise rapidly. This was something that only a real student could do.
However, Phyllis was not as angry as she thought she would be when Mr. Victor made such a decision. That piece of music was so shocking that she could not criticize Lucien's musical talent at all. She only felt helpless and jealous when facing the music played by Lucien.
Lot and Herodotus also felt the same way.
Lucien only understood what Mr. Victor meant when he heard the word "idiot" in a low voice. He did not expect things to end this way, so he could only nod and say, "It's my pleasure, Mr. Victor."
"Lucien, did you really compose this piece? If there's a problem, Mr. Victor's reputation will be ruined. " Herodotus clenched his fists and asked after a long silence. His expression was a bit twisted. No one knew if he was expecting Lucien to say "yes" or "no".
At this time, the rest of the students also gradually recovered from the shock of the music. They finally realized that Lucien was just a novice who had only been learning music for less than two months. Although he claimed that he was inspired three weeks ago and was trying to compose a piece of music, they did not expect him to actually compose a piece of music. And it was such a great and exciting piece of music?!
Could it be that he was really a talented musical genius? Was he really a gem that was covered by the mud?
Everyone stared at Lucien in disbelief, waiting for his answer. Only Rhein and Victor smiled with a hint of curiosity, appreciation, and surprise. They would never believe that someone could compose such a piece of music without anyone knowing about it. The only thing that surprised them was that Lucien's musical talent was far beyond their imagination.
Lucien smiled bitterly in his heart. Although he had a bottom line, his moral standards were far lower than Mr. Victor's.
However, Lucien soon calmed himself down. At this point, there was no other explanation. Therefore, he forced a smile and said, "Yes, it's my inspiration all the time. It's just that I didn't receive any formal music education before, and such inspiration could not be transformed into the string rhythm that I want."
"This inspiration came from my life, from the depression, pain, and despair of the poor. Every time I saw other people wearing beautiful clothes, eating delicious food, and enjoying a life that I might never be able to get close to, I wanted to get rid of my life that seemed to have been arranged by fate. I wanted to fight for my own future."
"In the process of learning words and music, I encountered a lot of difficulties and obstacles. I was even injured by the gangs. But I didn't give up. I continued to fight and finally came to Mr. Victor's door. So this inspiration gradually turned into a passionate and never-say-die melody. It encouraged me. As long as I was alive, I would never give up."
In order to make himself more convincing, Lucien also told Victor about the conflict he had with Aaron's gang when he was collecting garbage, "Mr. Victor, the other day reminded me of myself. I've been trying to improve the melody for the past three weeks. Lott, Felicia, and Herodotus all heard it. Also, I still have the notes I've recorded during this period of time." Lucien nodded and said, "Mr. Victor, I've been trying to improve the melody for the past three weeks.
Because it was raining, Lucien was afraid that the music score would be damaged, so he put it in his room and didn't bring it with him.
Rhein and Victor both smiled and looked at Lot and the others. They didn't realize the value of Lucien's music? It was really unbelievable.
"Lot, Phyllis, Herodotus, did you hear it?" Victor didn't doubt Lucien's words. He just felt that it was very funny and curious.
When Lucien mentioned it, Lot, Phyllis, and Herodotus carefully recalled and found that many of the melody they heard were familiar to them.
Phyllis thought about what happened yesterday evening and looked at Lucien with a complicated expression. She said self-deprecatingly, "Maybe prejudice made us deaf. In fact, I heard the last movement yesterday, but I didn't care. In the past three weeks, I did hear a lot of the melody, but at that time, Lucien hadn't finished writing most of the melody and played it clumsily, so he covered it up."
In the end, she couldn't help but mock Lucien, but it seemed that this was just a girl's stubbornness.
"Well, as Phyllis said, prejudice has made me deaf. I admit that I've heard some of the strings in Lucien's music." Lot thought for a while and admitted, "I have to say, Lucien, your musical talent is really amazing. Usually, this kind of music is born in a few months, or even years."
If Lucien's musical talent was not so exaggerated, Lot might still be angry, jealous, or dissatisfied. However, the gap between them was too big, and all of these lost his motivation. Also, it seemed that his classmate becoming a great musician was a good thing for his own musical career, just like how Mr. Victor's concert was a great success.
Lot was able to live a good life in a noble family with complicated relationships. He was not a stupid man who only knew how to flirt.
After a long silence, Herodotus finally nodded. Although he was not happy to admit that Lucien was a musical genius, it was a fact that could not be denied. It seemed that the melody was still encouraging him.
Hearing Lot's praise, Lucien explained subconsciously, "I could compose it so quickly because the inspiration has been accumulating for many years …"
"Lucien, there's no need to explain. Geniuses don't need a reason." Victor smiled and stopped Lucien, "I don't dare to lie that I've heard all the music, but such a great and inspiring piece can't be unknown. The fact that I've never heard of this kind of music before is enough to prove that you're a great composer."
Rhein also nodded, "I've traveled to many countries, but I've never heard such a passionate melody. Lucien, your life has given you precious treasures. Perhaps only poverty and hardship can motivate people to strive. There are always unimaginable geniuses among the poor. Haha, thank you, Lucien. Now that I've heard this piece of music, I have no regrets in my trip to Aalto. There's no doubt that you're a real genius, an outstanding genius. "
Strangely, he did not add the word "genius" in front of the word.
Lucien blushed at the compliment. He seemed to be very simple, but he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
Victor continued Rhein's words and continued, "Perhaps only beginners and musical geniuses like you, who haven't been restricted by the strict structure and musical expression of formal music, can let go of their feelings and inspiration and fly in the world of music without any restrictions."
"Actually, I've been working on the fourth symphony for nine years. Ever since Winnie was summoned by God, I've always wanted to write a symphony for her, instead of a serenade. However, my musical education and my creative experience kept telling me that, except for the serious religious themes, symphonies can only express the beauty of music. Therefore, I've never been able to create a symphony. Although in recent years, there has been a trend of using symphonies to express emotions and other themes in Aalto, their creations are still immature. Therefore, even though I've accumulated a lot of ideas and ideas, I still haven't been able to complete the symphony." Lucien paused for a moment, then continued, "Therefore, even though I've accumulated a lot of ideas and ideas, I still haven't finished the symphony.
"Until today, when I heard this piece of music of yours, I finally understood how to compose it while maintaining a strict structure. Therefore, I want to thank you, Lucien."
After that, Victor clapped his hands, "Okay, Lucien, write down your piece. I'll help you add in the strings and perfect the details. Then, take it to the association for registration. You can't be careless with this kind of music. When Director Othello comes back, I'll ask him to change the piece. During the time before the concert, I'll try to adapt it into a symphony as soon as possible and then practice a lot. "
