Ten minutes later.

"Paul, do you know where this piano came from?"

I don't know exactly, but it is said that it was bought from a merchant in Sicily. ”

"Has anyone used this instrument?"

"No, it's not suitable for recording or going on stage anymore, the hammers and strings are so old that no one wants to take the risk of fixing it, it's an old antique. ”

"Makes sense. Qin Jian sighed, "Paul, do you know Chris?"

"A piano craftsman. ”

"A piano craftsman," Qin Jian repeated Paul's words word for word, for a moment, "perhaps he is still a composer." ”

"It's not a contradiction. Paul smiled, "Would you like to try this instrument?"

After a long time.

"No," Qin Jian stared at the piano for a long time, then turned around and shook his head with a smile, "Let's go, let's try that Steinway." ”

"That's great, Mr. Qin Jian, to be honest, I'm very interested in seeing your Mozart up close. ”

"You know, I translate for countless musicians every year, and I've had the privilege of listening to a lot of Mozart in private, and I have to say that their music doesn't have what I expected out of the décor. ”

...

The two laughed and left.

The black piano behind him continued to sit quietly in the corner.

Just like the handwriting on the small plaque next to its thorn pattern.

'The Forgotten Piano Inventor ———Chris Frion'

‘1731’

...

Stopping in front of the Steinway piano, Qin Jian propped up the stand of the piano board, "Maybe I'll let you down too." ”

"I don't think so, my feelings have always been accurate," Paul said. ”

Qin Jian sat down in front of the piano.

Looking at the black and white keyboard in front of him, as if for a moment, his thoughts returned to the black piano in the corner behind him for a moment.

Maybe it's just a coincidence, or maybe it's not.

But whatever it is, what does it matter?

Some things have been there all along, but I just happened to come across them today.

If you don't have the Rhyme, if you don't have Mozart, if you don't have a trip to Vienna, if you don't get an impressive result, too many of these can lead to you missing out on today.

In that case, I probably won't be sitting here for the rest of my life, and I won't find anything special.

Now, although it is inevitable that you will think about it, after all, discovery is discovery, but now is not the time to study this.

Maybe it's just my own overthinking.

Thinking of this, Qin Jian's heart calmed down a lot.

As if he no longer had any scruples, he glanced up at Paul, who was already ready to listen, generously stretched out his hands, and said with a smile: "Paul, do you have any Mozart repertoire you want to hear?"

"I'll have to think about it," Paul said, looking up and meditating for a moment, "the third movement of K310." ”

K310 3rd movement.

Small rush board.

As soon as Paul's words fell, Qin Jian's fingers moved.

The turbulent minor melody flowed rapidly among dozens of pianos with bright colors that it shouldn't have.

Qin Jian knew very well that this was Mozart's best trick.

If you interpret it according to the tone and color, you will fall into a trap and never climb out.

Mozart is not sad, even in works in a minor key with gloomy colors.

With Qin Jian's performance, Paul couldn't help but walk into this melody.

He liked the melody of the third movement of K310, he had never heard such a Mozart minor.

The music flows.

...

...

Someone on one side started playing, and someone on the other just stopped.

Duan Ran buckled the lid, which did not mean that her practice today was over.

She has always been a person who likes to make plans and get them done.

She was three hours away from her goal for today's practice.

She just needed a break, but when she stopped, she noticed that the negativity that had been squeezed into the corner by the melody of the music came flooding back again, especially when she saw the black and white keys.

So during this break, she didn't want to see the keyboard, she tried to control her emotions as much as possible.

She's not in good shape lately, and that's clear from her irascible piano sound.

She knew the root of the problem, but she didn't know what to do.

That feeling of helplessness is like getting a complicated work that you can't start.

Her hands were in her hair, and her silent elbows rested on the stiff board.

Just then, there was a soft knock on the door.

"Excuse me, can I come in?"

Then a man's voice came in from outside the door.

Duan Ran didn't react.

A minute passes.

There was a soft knock on the door, and the man walked in.

Looking at the haggard figure in front of the piano, the man sighed softly, "I just want to remind you that it's only four hours until the flight, are you sure you don't clean up?"

Duan Ran still didn't react.

After a while, the man moved a chair and sat beside her, paused, and said, "Although you don't talk about it, what I want to say is that no matter what happens, you should take the initiative to face it, instead of sitting alone in a place where no one is closing yourself, this is not the way to solve the problem." ”

Moment.

"You care about him?" the man asked suddenly.

Duan Ran nodded.

Seeing Duan Ran's reaction, the man continued, "Actually, I've already watched that video, to be honest, I don't think there's anything wrong, and I even have to praise him, it's really a wonderful performance." ”

"There's dramatic conflict, there's clever arrangement, and the singers are outstanding. ”

"But I think you have to be clear, we're all people who deal with the stage, so we're the ones who can best tell the difference between the people on stage and off the stage. ”

"It seems to me that they are just looking for some theatrical effect on stage. ”

"That's all. ”

"If you feel like there's a scene on stage that pierces you to the depths of your heart, why don't you ask him in person?"

Slowly, Duan Ran raised his head, his helpless eyes as if he was seeking some kind of help.

"If you have any doubts about this, why don't you ask him in person?"

The man gently patted Duan Ran's shoulder, "Although in front of you, I don't have any say in the issue of feelings, but I still want to tell you that feelings are fought for by yourself." ”

The man looked at his watch, "It's three hours and forty minutes before the plane takes off, and I'm waiting for you in the living room." ”

With that, the man left the bedroom.

...

Duan Ran spat out.

The phrase 'Affection is earned by oneself' lingered in her ears for a long time. ’

After a long time, she stood up from the piano.

Walked to the hanging mirror and looked at himself in the mirror for a while.

There was a hint of fortitude in his eyes.
