At the ball, there was no Athena Salmon.

Levi and Livila blended into the crowd and talked eagerly with men and women and aristocratic celebrities. May Opal was still smiling, trying her best to maintain the dignity of the owner of the Long Taro Castle.

He's good at this kind of work.

Liszt is still the same, he doesn't take the initiative but doesn't refuse, when someone comes to be polite to him, he accompanies Hu Kan. Although I didn't think about coming to Red Crab Island to work hard, why turn away if I can broaden my network.

The pianist plays a beautiful melody.

One-on-one pairs of men and women dance on the dance floor.

Laughter kept ringing out from all corners, apparently from people who were having a good conversation. Mayopal spun around, taking care of all the noble men and women, and then took the wine glass and sat down next to Liszt's place.

"It's more tiring than fighting a charge. He gasped.

"It's a good thing I'm just a baron, and I don't have to say a word to each of the hundreds of men and women. ”

"They are all followers of the Taro Castle, and they have come from afar to say something to me, how can I bear to let them down. ”

I can't tell whether his words are self-deprecating or proud.

Suddenly, he asked, "You're not going to dance?"

"None of the people who invited me were my interests. ”

"Then take the initiative to invite, this is the initiative that a gentleman and nobleman should have. ”

"I haven't decided which one I want to invite yet. ”

"Your idea is so weird, if it were me, I would invite all the beautiful ones once, and I wouldn't have to dance just one dance. When you meet the right one, find a corner to talk to, and it will not be a trip in vain. If you can talk, maybe you can take it home and be the hostess. ”

Liszt was still reserved: "It's not good to be too fast." ”

Mei Opal shook his head, he couldn't understand his cousin: "Since you don't want to dance, can you play the piano?"

"Probably...... Will be a little. "Liszt himself did not know how to play a musical instrument, not of any kind, but his predecessor, as a member of the aristocracy, had studied the piano.

I can barely remember a few tunes.

Aristocrats love music, and the piano is one of the most popular musical instruments, especially at balls, how can they create a beautiful atmosphere without piano accompaniment. Many down-and-out aristocrats rely on playing the piano to maintain their upper-class life, and even become guests of aristocratic ladies.

"Ready, we'll play a song later. ”

May Opal beckoned a manservant: "Go and inform the pianist, come down quickly after playing this one, Liszt and I will go up to play the piano." ”

"Yes, young master. ”

"Do you want to play what song you want to play, I'm going to play a song "Eurie by the Water", I like this piano piece the most, the melody is beautiful and the story is touching, do you like it?"

"I didn't want to play the piano, and I hadn't heard of it. ”

"Oh my God, you haven't heard of it, it's the work of the pianist Czerny Windmill, who composed the music for the story of his own experience!

"Turned into stone, then, he died?"

"You really don't have any artistic atmosphere! It's a rhetorical device, Czerny didn't really turn into stone, but he saw Eurie Alli's beauty, and it was her beauty that made him feel like he was turning into a stone, not her eyes that really turned him into stone. What he saw might not be Eurie Ellie, it was just a metaphor. ”

May Opal talked about the piano music, and her whole eyebrows danced: "Eurie Ellie is a legendary creature, it does not exist, and legend has it that she has three sisters, all of them gorgons, all beautiful but deadly banshees. Master Czerny saw a woman at the water's edge and thought her beauty turned him to stone like poison, understand? ”

"Probably, understood. Liszt responded casually.

"Then get ready, and then you can go up and play a song later, only art can make people forget their troubles, believe me. He left Liszt with a very literary back, ready to play on stage.

It seems to be frightened by Liszt's ignorance.

When playing, he deliberately used his vindictiveness to increase his volume, first telling the backstory of "Eurie at the Water's Edge" before starting to play.

I have to say that his piano playing skills are superb, and the melody is sometimes soothing and sometimes passionate, which is really intoxicating to the scene of "I saw Eurie Ellie", "I turned to stone", "Her beauty suffocates me".

The end of the song.

The aristocrats, who were immersed in the music, applauded.

Mei Opal got up very elegantly and bowed slightly to thank him: "Next, my cousin, Liszt Tulip, will play the next piano piece for everyone." ”

......

Liszt wanted to smash May Opal's head with a hammer.

He didn't want to play any piano music at all, and it was true that almost all the nobles would learn piano and other instruments to increase their noble temperament. The predecessor Liszt played the piano a lot, but now Liszt is a musical idiot, and his favorite is pop songs!

He had never touched a musical instrument since he had crossed over.

The piano fingering in the memory of the predecessor has become unfamiliar, and it is a shameful scene to let him go up and play. He didn't know if it was May Opal's revenge - it was likely that he had already revealed his schadenfreude by chatting at the windowsill before, after all, he really wanted to laugh at that time.

But.

There is no such thing as an embarrassment at the moment.

His current mentality is a bit detached, and he didn't plan to gain any love at this dance, so he will be embarrassed if he goes up and loses face.

With a well-adjusted mentality and a smile on his face, Liszt took the stage step by step.

Sit in front of the piano and run your hands over the keys to make a very neat high and low tone. He glanced down at the keys, compared with the memory of his predecessor, and found the corresponding keys of the phonetic transcription such as Duo, Lai, Mi, Fa, Suo, La, Xi, etc., and then the melody of a song appeared in his mind, and quickly figured out how to play it.

Like May Opal, he was going to have a prelude monologue.

Fighting spirit, increase your own volume: "It's a very old legend...... Once upon a time, in the forest kingdom on a distant continent, there was a brother and sister, each with their own special abilities. The elder brother's eyes could see far away, and the younger sister's ears could hear distant sounds, and they grew up together happy and sad together. ”

Liszt's voice is magnetic.

When the monologue is pronounced, there is no abrupt feeling, on the contrary, it is easy to get caught up in his story.

"In their spare time they would always run to the mountains, and the elder brother would look out into distant lands and tell his sister all kinds of strange things, and the younger sister would listen to the message of the wind, and sing the heavenly songs to his brother...... They fall in love, they throw off all shackles and enjoy love. ”

But the world will never allow this love, no matter how hard you try, you still lose to the moral shackles. In order to prove their unswerving love for each other, the elder brother blinded his own eyes, and the younger sister blocked his ears, so that he could not get the blessing of everyone. ”

"A long, long time later, a foreign musician heard this poignant and touching love story and was deeply moved. With mixed feelings, he composed a touching song. I heard this song by chance, and I couldn't help but feel sad, how can the fate of my brother and sister not make people sigh!"

"It's a pity that I didn't memorize all the tunes and all the songs, so I can only share the melodies and songs that I remember. ”

While!

Dangdang!

Liszt's hands ran over the piano, pressed the keys heavily, and began to play the piece.

The simple and fast melody rises quickly, and there seems to be a touch of sadness in the bright refinement. His singing voice was also mixed with melody and floated over the dance floor, which was a Chinese that no one could understand: "Two tigers, two tigers, run fast, run fast......"
