Bronce used to be the estate of Natasha, the Violet Countess, and the coachman was no worse than that of Phyllis "Bern", and the carriage drove smoothly through the crowded streets of Aalto, slowly heading to the Musicians' Association of the borough, without making Lucien in the carriage feel the slightest bump.

"Aalto has become so lively. Lucien felt the unprecedented hustle and bustle of Aalto through the half-open window, and the crowds on both sides of the avenue were several times greater than at normal times.

On the avenue, you can see a lot of strange carriages, because the coats of arms on their carriages are not familiar to Lucian, "This is the coat of arms of the Viscount of Taran of the Holy Hytz Empire, and this is the coat of arms of the Baron of the White Maple Forest of the Ancient Kingdom of Syracuse...... Hehe, I'm a heraldic scholar. ”

Natasha's study has books dedicated to the coat of arms of the nobility, and this kind of book occupies a large part of the study, so although Lucien has not read them in their entirety, he can basically recognize the common coats of arms through strong memory and retrieval comparison.

Looking at the somewhat exotic carriages, Lucien turned his attention to both sides of the avenue, where bards and street artists could be seen every dozen meters.

"Uncle Joel?" Lucien suddenly noticed that around the corner of the street, Joel was happily playing the "your" harp, and although he was missing two fingers on his left hand, it did not prevent him from playing ordinary music with this simple instrument.

Motioning for the coachman to pull over to the side of the street, Lucien walked up to Joel, looked at him with a smile, and listened quietly as he finished playing a warm and romantic serenade.

Those around cheered and applauded, and some took out the bronze nar and threw it into the hat in front of Joel.

But none of them recognized it, and the quiet young man who was smiling and listening next to him was the talented musician they had been talking about.

After playing, Joel humorously said to Lucien: "It's very uncomfortable to stay at home for a long time without doing anything. ”

John was favored by Sir Vaane, and Lucien often found various reasons to take care of them, and Joel and Alyssa were able to live a very good life even if they didn't have to work.

Lucien didn't feel embarrassed by Joel at all: "I can see that Uncle Joel, you are very happy, and it is a beautiful thing to be able to simply enjoy the joy of music. "Joel didn't pay any attention to the copper in the hat.

"That's right, the arrival of the Aalto Festival rekindled my enthusiasm and I took to the streets again, but no longer for life. Joel was even happier when Lucien understood, "I feel like I've gone back to the past, not long after I came to Aalto, just like them, full of musical dreams and simple dedication to music, after so many years, I finally found this beauty again." He pointed to the unfamiliar bards and street artists in the neighborhood.

They were not at all like their peers who had been in Aalto for a long time, they were all trying to play their own music to Xingjin, showing their singing voices, hoping for praise and affirmation, not money.

Lucien loved the simplicity of beauty: "When I saw them, my mood became cheerful. ”

"So that's what I love about the Aalto Music Festival. Jolha laughed, then picked up the seven-string "your" harp and played a soothing and melodious song.

Lucien watched him immerse himself in the world of music of his dreams, did not disturb, stood quietly for a while, and then walked around the neighborhood, and enjoyed the performances of bards and street artists, occasionally throwing out a few copper narls to express his affirmation, "home" at home to analyze magic for too long, Lucien somewhat missed such a vibrant, lively and noisy scene.

And from their different flavors of music from different countries, Lucien is also absorbing the essence and perfecting a piece of music composed by himself.

This piece is not a plagiarism, but an adaptation of the third movement of the "Violin Sonata in G minor", which is one of the most difficult in the world.

Since there is no similar piece of music on the earth for this sonata, Lucien is completely adapted by himself, which can be regarded as a real adaptation of his own, no matter what, in what may be the first and last concert performance of his life, Lucian still hopes to have something of his own.

Walking slowly through the streets, Lucien found himself really in love with the vibrant city, the melodious music, the warm and bustling scenes, all so beautiful: "If only there was no church." ”

"Sir, are you coming to our White Spoon concert? It's free!" Suddenly, a man of about twenty years of age ran by, and he sincerely invited Lucien, his green eyes full of enthusiasm and expectation.

Lucien asked suspiciously, "Concert?"

"Yes, sir, we have rented a big house down the street for a concert, and we invite everyone to listen to it for free!" said the brown-haired man very quickly, "By the way, I'm Piola, the band's first violinist, would you like to participate?"

Lucien was just about to listen around before two o'clock in the afternoon, so he smiled and nodded, "Where?"

Piora cheered: "Thirtieth listener!"

Then he led Lucien into a street and into the lobby of a small two-story civilian building.

In the center of the hall was a makeshift stage with two violins, a viola, a cello, and a harpsichord borrowed from nowhere.

After Piola brought Lucien in, he smiled apologetically, "Sir, please wait fifteen minutes, we have to invite more friends." During this time, Grace will play the harpsichord for you. ”

Lucien probably understood what was going on, they should be bands from other countries, taking advantage of the Aalto Music Festival, to come here to pursue their musical dreams, but because they are not famous, and they do not have enough money to rent those concert halls in Aalto, and even if they do, there are not many audiences, so they can only use the form of free and humble concerts to let more people know them, get affirmed, and make a name for themselves.

After Piola was gone, the girl named Grace played "Dedicated to Sylvia" on the harpsichord, and the familiar melody rang in Lucian's ears.

The piece was easy to learn, and Grace played it well, but Lucien frowned slightly: "The harpsichord can't produce that pure feeling like a spring tinkling water, and the melody like a song is a little worse." ”

Due to its other advantages, the harpsichord was not immediately eliminated by the piano.

After four or five familiar pieces of music by Lucian, Piola and two other men and a woman brought in more than twenty guests.

Seeing that the small room had become crowded, Piola decided to start the concert, he walked on the stage, picked up the violin, and said enthusiastically: "We are a band from the pearl of the sea 'Stulk', I am Piola the first violinist, this is Sharon the second violin, Green the violist, Leslie the cellist, Grace the harpsichord, welcome everyone to our White Spoon concert." ”

It can be seen that they often hold similar free and humble concerts in their original city, so they have a lot of experience, and they use a lively serenade to arouse everyone's emotions at the beginning.

After that, they wrote their own fantasias and other small works.

Although Lucien does not have any real creative ability of his own, he has been exposed to the Aalto Musicians Association, and his piano playing has reached a certain height, so his ability to distinguish music is still very strong, and he nodded slightly: "There is spirituality, there are a few good melodies, and the harmony is also well done, but it is far from excellent." "Their basic skills are good, and even in Aalto, they can become qualified musicians, unlike most bards who have developed habits and can't change them if they want to.

At the end of the humble concert, which lasted less than an hour, because it was free, and because of Aalto's genuine love for music, Piora and his friends received a round of applause, which made them very encouraged and excited, so they all walked off the stage to exchange their music with the audience.

Piora went straight to Lucian, a young man with an extraordinary temperament: "Sir, what is your opinion on our White Spoon Fantasia in C minor?" He wanted to hear the gentleman's feelings.

"Yes, but I think there are still some flaws in the development of the musical logic, the articulation, and the density of the notes...... Lucien said earnestly.

"O......" Piola didn't expect to get such a professional opinion, and it took more than ten seconds to come back to her senses, so she eagerly talked to Lucian.

The rest of the audience quickly left after talking about their auditory experience, so Leslie, Grace, and others gathered over, watched with a little surprise as the two majors exchanged, and then joined in.

"Thank you, sir, for the valuable advice we have received. Grace saw that Lucien was about to leave and quickly thanked him.

Lucien smiled gently, "This is a ticket to the concert, I have to leave, I wish you all a nice stay in Aalto." ”

"Thank you for your blessings, we will be happy, because there are still a few days to go before the Aalto Music Festival begins, in addition to the concerts that can be listened to before midnight in each concert hall, the concert in the Psalm Hall has also been announced today, the first night will be a concert of Masses and hymns from 8 o'clock in the evening, and many famous musicians will give their own religious works. Piola was excited at this, "The night of the fourth was the symphony of the honorable Mr. Christopher, and the night of the fifth was the first concert of the talented musician Mr. Lucien Evans. ”

Lucien was slightly puzzled: "It's already arranged?"

"Of course, one represents the past and the present, and the other represents the present and the future, which is really interesting. The silver-haired sharon of violinist was equally excited and excited, "We have no regrets about being able to hear Mr. Christopher and Mr. Evans in concert with our own ears, and we have no regrets about spending a full seven months from the sea to Aalto." ”

During the Aalto Festival, concerts in the Chant Hall will be performed simultaneously in the Municipal Square via a special magic array for the general who did not get tickets.

"Seven months, ...... by the sea," said Lucian, who spoke with them about the dangers and sights of the journey, did not leave until it was nearly two o'clock.

Watching Lucien's back disappear at the gate, Grace sighed very much: "I didn't expect to find a random gentleman on the streets of Aalto to have such a high level of musical literacy, worthy of being the capital of music." ”

"Oops, we were so rude that we didn't ask for the gentleman's name. Piora patted her forehead in annoyance.

After greeting Elena at the Musicians' Guild, Lucien went to his exclusive lounge to prepare for the afternoon practice with the band.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and Lucien opened the door, unexpectedly seeing Natasha and Camille.

"Lucien, be careful lately, don't go out at night, the 'Silver and White Horn' is showing signs of activity again in many small towns on the edge of the principality. Natasha closed the door and admonished Lucien in a serious manner.
