With the help of a few canon-style music, Victor explained this basic polyphonic form completely, in which Lucien, Phyllis and others asked questions from time to time and received satisfactory answers, and finally at the end, Victor smiled at his students: "I know that you are all very hard-working, very attentive, and have already started to teach themselves canon, so you might as well try to compose a canon, which will be very helpful for you to understand polyphonic music, chords, and create more complex music." ”

Seeing that Lot, Phyllis, and Herodotus all showed eager expressions, while Lucian was silent, Victor said with a little doubt: "Lucian, although you have a very outstanding musical talent, your foundation is not good, you can hear it from the Symphony of Destiny that you played at the beginning. Writing simple canon tunes will also help you, don't think that the canon melody is simple, if you can really write it well, it is also very beautiful and beautiful, such as Mr. Sehr's classic canon in D major, which is so beautiful to listen to after nearly a hundred years. ”

For Lucian, Victor is not like Marcus, who taught his first true musical disciple and now tours the courts of the continents, allowing him to use his talents with little disturbance. In Victor's view, Lucian's musical performance is far superior to that of Marcus, comparable to those great musicians, and because of this, as a teacher, he must give proper persuasion and protection, lest he be arrogant and squander his talents, which will be a great loss to the music industry.

Lucien came back to his senses and explained seriously: "Mr. Victor, I will not forget the importance of the basics, and I will seriously try to compose the canon, but just when I listened to you explain Mr. Sehr's Canon in D major, I suddenly had some inspiration, and I felt that the melody could be changed slightly, and why not adapt it into a piano piece, playing this new instrument may bring a very different flavor from the original cello and violin ensemble." ”

"The canon's melodies are very short, and they are beautiful by the constant repetition of the repetition, and the same is true of Mr. Sechel's Canon in D major, which has only a few two-bar melodies, and it is difficult to make small changes. Victor first expressed his concern, and then affirmed and encouraged Lucian's idea, "Of course, Canon in D major has been adapted for organ and flute, and I am looking forward to seeing Lucian adapt it into piano music, which may be a new musical enjoyment." ”

Lucien smiled: "Don't worry, Mr. Victor, I only learned this form by composing and arranging the canon, and I will not blindly change it, and the beauty of the music can be discerned by listening to it." ”

"Then we look forward to hearing the Canon in D major. Seeing Victor nodding, Phyllis and Lott both smiled and said to Lucien.

After finishing the music lesson, when she went to the piano room to practice her instrument, Phyllis deliberately walked a few steps faster, walked side by side with Lucien, and asked in a low voice, "Lucian, are you going to play the arrangement of Canon in D major at my birthday party next month?" The corners of her mouth hooked slightly, as if she was laughing, and as if she was looking forward to it.

Because of Canon's simplicity, she felt that the adaptation should not be long.

Lucien's heart moved, and he smiled gratefully: "Phyllis, I won't forget your help to me." At your birthday party, I'm sure I'll play a brand new piece, but not an adapted Canon in D major. I'll spend this month trying to compose a cheerful serenade for you that suits the style of the party. ”

"Really?" said Phyllis, she was pleasantly surprised, she had just wanted Lucien to master a few piano pieces and then play them at the party, with his title of musical talent and princess music advisor, even if it was just a performance of past works, it would greatly satisfy her vanity, but she didn't expect Lucien to be ready to write a new serenade.

Lucien nodded solemnly and replied, "But it should not be a complete whole movement, it may only be a piano piece composed of some melodies, textures and harmonies." ”

Piano pieces are short pieces of music in a single movement.

Phyllis wrenched her hands together again: "It's such an honor, Lucien, you're such a good entry." "She's very excited, even if it's a piano piece, but it's a short time, and it's good to have it.

Harvest a good card, Lucien teased himself.

However, Phyllis quickly became nervous again: "Isn't a month too short and too rushed? ”

Although it is not uncommon to write a serenade-type piano piece in a month, when it comes to herself, Phyllis still can't help but worry, because Lucien's praise is too high now, President Christopher's admiration for fate, Her Royal Highness's evaluation of the Princess's changemaker, and Director Othello's praise of "a real and salute talent" have made many people full of jealousy and dissatisfaction, waiting for Lucien to make a mistake.

They are like ferocious beasts in the night, as long as Lucien's newly written music does not reach a certain height, and the slightest flaw, they will immediately swarm and drown their prey with saliva, which will greatly affect Phyllis's own birthday party and hopes for Lucian.

In contrast, Phyllis hopes that Lucien will slowly carve it and write a work that is not much worse than his fate in a year, or even two years, so that his position will be completely solidified, and he will no longer be a new talented musician, but a real musical authority.

"A serenade, there should be no problem. Lucien tried to pretend to be all the nonchalant and very confident tones. And this serenade Lucien has already thought about it, it is a melody that has not yet appeared in this world, it is the most outstanding and classic one of the serenades in a similar cheerful style, even Lucian, who was not very fond of classical music in his previous life, often heard, of course, in a month's time, Lucian must not be able to take the complete format of the four movements, and can only replace it with a piano piece adapted for the first movement, with such a prelude, it seems logical to expand it in a short period of time in the future.

Seeing Lucien's attitude, Phyllis opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to persuade her, so she had to say expectantly and worriedly: "Then I'm waiting for an excellent serenade." ”

............ In the following month, Lucien devoted himself to the study of music, in addition to studying magic at night, analyzing magic, and trying to use the witch's notes to reverse deduce the ancient Magic Empire text of Sylvanus on the Book of Stars and Elements, because it represented his hope of going to the headquarters of the Magic Council.

Relying on his strong memory and focused learning, Lucien finally learned and mastered the basic music knowledge, and it was only at this time that Lucien felt that he was a qualified music student.

The arrangement of Canon in D major and the serenade were under Lucian's deliberate control, and it took nearly a month to almost complete.

John still continued his knight training, although he really wanted to stimulate the blood force as soon as possible, protect his home, and guard his home, but Sir Vane, who knew the general story from the Grand Duke of Vaorit, solemnly warned him that he must not recklessly step into the process of activating the bloodline without a solid foundation, so not only is the possibility of success very small, but even if he is lucky enough to become a full-fledged knight with the help of auxiliary materials, there is no hope of breaking through to the grand knight or even the dead knight in the future.

Therefore, John, who admired and loved Sir Vane very much, restrained his impatience, and under his arrangement, he spent most of his time training monotonously and boringly, and a small part of his time going to the Black Forest of Merzer to fight goblins and dogheads to hone his will and skills. At the same time, Sir Vane made an excuse and gave John a sum of money to rent a house near the borough and take Joel's family to live in, so as to ensure their safety as much as possible.

Although the Joel family had a good time in the garden villa rented by Lucian, this was not their home after all, and they had an unsolvable unease, so it was clear that their restrained Lucien did not forcibly keep him, and sometimes being too enthusiastic would bring estrangement.

............ On Thursday morning, the last week of the Golden Moon (October), in the piano room of the "War Gallery" palace in Latasya Palace, Lucien had just finished a musical discussion with Natasha.

"I feel like this part of the melody has the excitement I wanted. Natasha looked at the scribbled sheet music and smiled heartily and beautifully.

She has a solid understanding and mastery of musical knowledge and fugues, canon and other forms than Lucien, so after hearing the full format of the theme music and getting inspiration, she quickly had some melodies, but she wanted to create music with a passionate feeling, and changed the melody again and again, and at this pace, she may not be able to complete this symphony work in a year.

Lucien shook his head and smiled: "Actually, the last change was already very good, but it's a pity that Your Royal Highness the Princess is too demanding." Lucien, who has a thin musical foundation, almost couldn't keep up with Natasha's ideas and rhythm during this time, but fortunately, he was also learning and improving, and only as a consultant rather than a teacher, he finally barely supported it, and he also gained a lot.

"If you want to write a piece, you must write what you feel inside, but when it comes to passionate works, the most perfect one I've ever heard is Lucian's Symphony of Your Destiny, what do you think?" Natasha was in a good mood as she sorted out the score.

Lucien smiled and said, "Thanks for the compliment." But in his heart, he said silently, "Actually, I think the most exciting thing is the "March of the Volunteers" ......"

After exchanging a few words, Natasha saw that Lucien was about to say goodbye, and suddenly smiled curiously: "Tonight is the birthday party of Phyllis of the Hain family, I heard that Lucian has prepared a brand new serenade as a gift?"

This was deliberately leaked by Lucien through Elena, Lot, etc., and it seems that it has reached Natasha's ears.

"Of course. Lucien nodded in the affirmative.

Natasha, who was wearing a purple court dress, raised her eyebrows and pointed to the piano with interest: "Can you let me enjoy it first?"

"I'm sorry, Your Highness Princess, this is a gift for Phyllis, and she won't be able to play until she has a birthday party. Lucien was not afraid to refuse with a smile.

Natasha walked back and forth a few steps and looked at Lucien with a smile: "You know, if your curiosity can't be satisfied, you will become very irritable. ”

But she quickly frowned slightly: "But the birthday gift should really be like this, speaking of which, Sylvia's birthday is a few days before the New Year, should I compose a serenade of love for her." ”

"It's really a pair of envy and jealousy, o Ah ......" Lucien, who has witnessed the "love" picture several times during this time, is not without emotion.

Natasha, who was caught in this problem, did not dwell on the matter of Serenade anymore, and instructed Camille to take a ceremonial long sword: "This is the knight's long sword promised to you, its name is 'Vigilance', a high-level transcendent item that can greatly improve your intuition and make it easier to detect the coming danger." ”
