Seeing the symphony orchestra formed by Griffin with his own eyes, Harvey somewhat understood Murphy's mockery of Griffin's mentality.

The side hall that can accommodate hundreds of people to practice and play is full of people, who hold all kinds of musical instruments, such as violin, viola, cello, trombone, trumpet, etc., with a casual attitude, talking and laughing, plus men, women and children, each wearing civilian clothes, the whole symphony orchestra looks like it is pulling people in at random on the side of the road to make up the numbers.

Regular orchestras usually wear black suits, and there are no female players, so they will remain silent even during practice to prevent their voices from disturbing others.

Griffin entered the spacious side hall, the side hall fell silent, the symphony members looked at Griffin and Harvey and Diana behind him, and guessed Harvey's identity, some musicians seemed to recognize Harvey, got up from their seats in surprise, and excitedly discussed with friends around them why Harvey was here.

Griffin stood on the podium at the bottom of the room, his sharp eyes swept over everyone and he snorted, "Now, everyone is quiet. ”

The suppressed anger could be heard in the voice, and I thought that I was very angry with Mo Fei just now, and now I am even more angry when I see this scene.

"These two are my guests, Mr. Harvey Adrian and his wife, Ms. Diana, and they are here today to see our orchestra perform, and all the members are seated back in their seats to play the Symphony of Destiny." Griffin picked up the baton on the table and waited for all the musicians to take their seats, he raised his hands and swung them down as they watched.

"Wow~!" The heavy and powerful ensemble music sounded in unison, and no matter how many times you listen to it, it is like a heavy object hitting the heart, which makes people nervous.

Standing on the podium, Griffin waved his hands, and the movements were fierce to express the tension created by the tune of the "Symphony of Destiny", sometimes swift, sometimes gentle, he led the rhythm of the symphony, the musicians sitting on the orchestra moved in unison, the bow was slow and fast, and the left hand dexterously plucked the strings, and the simple and unified movements made people feel a strange beauty.

Symphony is not only an art that can be heard, but also seen.

After the performance, Griffin's straight body suddenly lost strength, and when he came down from the stage, his forehead oozed dense sweat, and he took out his handkerchief and wiped it, completely delighted that he was not finished.

"I have to admit that I'm still old." Griffin smiled wryly to himself, looking a little awkward as his body relaxed.

This performance may seem very good to ordinary people, but as a conductor he can hear the dissonant tones, which people do not play the treble of the violin, the bass is too fast, which people are not strong enough to play, which people cannot keep up with the rhythm of the ensemble, etc., as Murphy said, this symphony orchestra is at most second-rate and has no qualifications to play the "Symphony of Destiny".

Harvey and Diana stood up to applaud the performance, and Griffin took Harvey to another room after announcing that the musicians would be allowed to practice freely.

After sitting down, Griffin seemed to be a teenager old, and his expression was too gloomy and ashamed to face Harvey.

Harvey was relieved: "You don't have to, Mr. Griffin, to be able to assemble an orchestra and successfully perform the Symphony of Destiny in these months is a remarkable thing in itself. ”

Griffin sighed and shook his head: "I know the situation of the orchestra very well, if it continues like this, the performance of the "Symphony of Destiny" is far away, how can I play the "Ninth Symphony"? I'm ashamed of my selfish thoughts, I begged you to give me the right to play, and now I'm messing myself up. ”

"It seems to me that this is already a good performance, and Mr. Griffin really wants to play these two symphonies so that he doesn't disappoint my friend, remember the first sentence written in the score of the Symphony of Destiny?"

Griffin nodded with a complicated expression: "It is the soul of this symphony, how can I forget." ”

Harvey said solemnly: "Mr. Griffin, I think you may not know why this symphony is called "Symphony of Destiny"? Why is there such a sentence on the score? ”

"My friend, you can just say it."

Harvey's voice was sonorous and powerful, and his words contained deep admiration: "Because Mr. Beethoven was already suffering from an ear disease when he composed this Symphony of Destiny, and you know how painful it is for a musician who has alienated his family and friends and composed this symphony alone, and he knows very well what is happening to him, and a musician who is favored by the god of music is tormented by fate." ”

Griffin looked stunned, carefully recalling every syllable in the symphony score, muttering incredibly: "Choke the throat of fate..."

There is more meaning behind this sentence than Griffin could have thought.

He asked, "What about the Ninth Symphony?" ”

"Yes, the Ninth Symphony was composed by Monsieur Beethoven after he could not hear the sound at all."

"No wonder that... No wonder that..." Griffin's expression became excited, and he got up and walked back and forth, thinking for a while with deep admiration: "I can't imagine what happened to Mr. Beethoven, but Mr. Beethoven is undoubtedly a true musician, and only with such a tenacious and noble spirit can he compose such a symphonic score!" Thank you, Mr. Adrian, for your encouragement, that Mr. Beethoven wrote this symphony score because he overcame fate, and I am only singing the praises of his greatness, and if I cannot overcome these difficulties, then I am indeed not qualified to play these two symphonies. ”

Harvey smiled, "Mr. Griffin, it seems to me that there are other reasons for the uneven quality of your orchestra, and these reasons should not be a burden to your orchestra's performance. ”

Griffin looked at Harvey in surprise and said with a heavy face, "What do you see?" ”

"You seem to lack support, especially financially."

The lack of uniformity, the uneven quality of the staff, and even the instruments brought by the musicians are enough to explain the current predicament of the Griffin Orchestra.

Griffin nodded heavily and admitted: "Yes, I emptied my life savings and just bought the right to use the side hall, every well-known orchestra has some big chambers or nobles behind it, but no one is willing to bear the high price for an obscure symphony orchestra." ”

"I'm here for this purpose, and I'm willing to convince Count Henrietta to provide you with financial support, but I still need your help." Harvey can provide financial support for Griffin on behalf of the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce, but now the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce is in a period of rapid development, and the foundation is unstable, and the photographic crystal industry, the photo printing machine industry and the record player to be launched in the future need to invest a lot of manpower and material resources, and it is not appropriate to continue to invest a lot of foreign investment.

Griffin stood up excitedly and bowed deeply to Harvey: "Of course! Say, let me express to you my high respect and gratitude. ”

Harvey said that he needed to record the "Symphony of Destiny" and "Ninth Symphony", the right to use these two pieces was originally in Harvey's hands, which is not a requirement, and secondly, Harvey needed Griffin's symphony orchestra to practice many choruses and symphonies in "Frozen" by the way when practicing, "Frozen" is a cartoon, there are no strict requirements for the accuracy of performance, as long as it is played by a regular symphony orchestra, it can be qualified.

This is not a problem at all, and the symphony orchestra practice is not all about practicing a piece, the most important thing is to hone in on each other's cooperation.

After reading Harvey's score for the soundtrack of "Frozen", Griffin changed his decadent state and nodded in agreement with a red face.
