Today is still three watches, asking for a guaranteed monthly pass~

....................................................................................

The beautiful piano melody delicately shows Lucian's complex inner emotions, with sweet tenderness, touching melancholy, and indescribable sadness, as if the cold moonlight and the quiet lake beating like silver scales under the night sky bring all the listeners into a beautiful and dreamy peaceful world, and the resonant emotions slowly flow through the bottom of their hearts.

I don't know how many people in Langdao have forgotten their irritability and eagerness at this time, I don't know how many people in Langdao have become quiet and contemplative at this time, and I don't know how many people in Ludao suddenly found that tears slipped from the corners of their eyes unconsciously......

The first movement slowly fades away in such a tranquil atmosphere, but soon, the brisk and lively second movement is played, as if to comfort everyone's hearts, show them a gentle and joyful smile, and perfectly express the change of emotion.

The musicians, who had come awake from the calm and melancholy aesthetic musical atmosphere, looked at each other in a little surprise, perhaps the ordinary people and aristocrats who were completely infected by the music and had difficulty thinking more did not notice, but they were keenly aware that there was almost no pause between the two movements, unusually compact, but the effect was surprisingly good.

However, they did not delve into the reasons for this for the time being, and continued to listen attentively, because it was not always possible to hear the "Moonlight Sonata" played by Mr. Lucien Evans himself, and all they needed to do now was to enjoy it and not waste the opportunity to this concert.

The bright and delicate second movement gradually became dull, but Lucien did not pause as everyone was ready to rest and adjust a little to enjoy the intense melody that followed. The third movement is played directly.

The surging and rapidly boiling notes lifted the hearts of the listeners at once, and they felt the irrepressible enthusiasm and unrestrainedness. and the nervousness and rush of picking flowers on the edge of the cliff.

They saw Lucian's hands jumping and dancing as if they had been given the power of the gods, expressing his very complex piano skills into beautiful and intense melodies and charming side plays. This is a far cry from the melancholy princely elegance of the first movement, but it gives the same visual impact.

The iconic few high-pitched notes come to an end, and everyone's heart falls back to its place. Then they erupted in loud applause, and the tide rushed and flowed.

Betty, who was carrying a short bow, said joyfully to her sister Joanna and brother-in-law Simon, "Compared to Mr. Evans's performance." The "Moonlight" we've heard before is really average. They were completely unable to express the melancholy and sweet sorrow that were unique, and the performance of the next two movements, Mr. Evans, gave people a stronger impact. ”

Three years have made her seem to be a lot more professional in music appreciation.

"Yes, of course, the difference between a great musician and an ordinary musician is huge. Joanna looked at the crystal wall and echoed with a soft smile, "Betty." I remember Mr. Evans promised you that he would play you a piano piece privately?"

Betty's face turned red as soon as she brushed it: "Sister, don't laugh at me, I know that I still have a long way to go before I can stimulate my blood power, but I will try." Will try!"

The premise of the original agreement was to become a full-fledged knight.

"The proximity of the Duchy of Vaorit to the Dark Mountains has given us plenty of opportunities to temper our bloodlines, and there's no better place to take risks to stimulate our veins. Simon felt that after more than two years in the past two years, he had improved the strength of the high-level knight squire, and he was one step closer to stimulating the power of the bloodline.

Betty nodded first, and then looked at Lucien, who was taking a short break at the piano with a sweet face, preparing the second sonata: "Actually, I know that Mr. Evans's agreement at that time was only to encourage me, and I didn't really expect him to play a piece for me in private." I am very satisfied to feel his concert in this way. Of course, I will not relax my efforts, and I will not desecrate this encouragement and 'dream' that is very important and beautiful to me. ”

Greenton, on the edge of Civic Square, applauded with satisfaction and enthusiasm, and kept nagging at the people around him: "Mr. Evans's 'Moonlight' is really beautiful." I have no regrets about being able to hear him play it once. Hey, don't you feel like listening to other people's playing in the future? This is the difference between a master pianist and others!"

Chant Hall VIP underwriting inside.

"It turns out that the various movements of the "Moonlight Sonata" should be compact without pauses, so that the emotional changes and contrasts can be obvious, the melody can be paved and cohesive, and the perfect feeling can be created. Natasha sobered up from the beautiful atmosphere brought by the moonlight and discussed this special technique, "No wonder when I played it myself before, I always felt that something was wrong...... None of his letters mention it......"

"Perhaps he thought that Your Highness the Princess could understand his idea, so he forgot to write some of the requirements for performance. Christopher said half-jokingly.

For Lucien only contacted Natasha after going out on a trip, even the letters to Joel, John and others were transmitted through her, although everyone knew that this was the most convenient and fastest way, because they could borrow the intelligence system of the Principality of Vauorit, etc., but there was a certain aspect of thought, most people had it, so the rumors were brewing and circulating, and gradually confirmed a certain rumor before. This makes many people who know the inside story of the Tao look forward to hope and like to hear it, but they are not very satisfied, worried and troubled.

Natasha didn't care about the humorous jokes of Maestro Christopher, and seriously discussed everyone's different musical treatment styles.

Hearing their discussion, Grand Duke Vaorit glanced at Natasha, sober from the sweet and sad memories evoked by "Moonlight", his brow slightly furrowed but his expression slightly relieved.

The rest of the musicians and musicians who played "Moonlight" compared their own performances, trying to find differences from the performance of the "original author" in order to make corrections, but they would not completely imitate it, because the "moonlight" in everyone's heart is different.

............

After a short break, Lucien continued to brew emotional playing, still the familiar "Pathétique". It's still a familiar feeling, but everyone knows how to appreciate the feelings contained in it better than when they first heard it. The strength of pathos without despair, grief without giving up, more and more appreciate the touching power of music.

After "Pathétique" was played, Lucien clenched his right hand into a fist and put it to his mouth. coughed sharply a few times, causing Franz, Grace and Fabricini, who were witnessing the scene backstage, to pinch their hearts violently.

Fortunately, they quickly regained their composure when they saw Lucian, and they got up to greet him with flushed cheeks like no troublemaker. Then he sat back down on the piano bench.

"What kind of virtuosity piano passage will it be?" Fabrini, who had never heard Lucien's piano practice before, asked Franz and Grace curiously.

In his mind, Franz was Lucian's "assistant", and Grace was his student, so he should know more or less about it.

Franz shook his head: "Mr. Evans always practiced on his own after returning home from rehearsals, and for a great musician like him, no one is required to rehearse before the concert. So I haven't heard of it either. ”

"Me too. However, the teacher has made it clear that this is a piano passage that shows off the nature of the technique, so it should be very difficult but the others are a little worse. Grace reasoned.

At this moment all the sounds in the chant hall and the town hall ceased, for they saw Lucien stretch out his hands and press them on the keys.

And then. It was as if they heard countless hornets flapping their wings and flying fast, and the buzzing sound sounded in their ears.

The speed is getting faster and faster, "bumblebees are flying all over the sky", Glynton and others watched in amazement as Lucien's hands were playing as fast as humans, and the race seemed to bring out a strong sense of rhythm and passionate melody, which made people can't help but beat faster after hearing it, and the whole body is full of enthusiasm!

"Flying Bees" is one of the fastest and most virtuosic piano pieces!

At a flying speed, the piano passage of just a few minutes ended before everyone could react, and the ordinary people in the municipal square were enthusiastic and applauded like thunder!

This is a kind of musical charm that they have never felt, and it seems that under the seemingly normal melody lies a strange feeling that is more free, unrestrained and closer to ordinary people.

Christopher, Victor, Othello, and other musicians nodded their heads in satisfaction at the sight of the extremely difficult technique, and at the same time frowned slightly at the fact that the performance of this piece of music was a bit beyond their ability to accept, it seemed rather strange and absurd. However, it is not much of a problem to just use the piano passage as a showmanship.

Natasha whistled: "It's such a great and sensual piano piece, I don't know how fast it can be?!"

She understands that fast is not the theme, with the strength of her heavenly knight, she can play the piano as fast as she wants, but at the same time maintain a wonderful listening enjoyment, that is the test of the musician.

............

The solo part was over, and the nobles, musicians, and ordinary people in the town square began to relax in every way, for there were two long symphonies to follow.

Some of them exchanged praises of the previous conductor and strumming with gusto, while others chatted curiously and excitedly about the bumblebee buzzing piano passage, and marveled at Lucian Evans' whimsical and groundbreaking style unlike any other musician......

Fifteen minutes later, Lucien, dressed in a black tuxedo, took the stage again, bowed politely, and then stood in front of the band.

"What kind of symphony will 'New Country' be?" Christopher sat in anticipation, as did the other musicians.

For the Aalto music scene, the symphony is the mainstream, the brightest and most precious jewel in the crown of music.

Lucian's eyes were slightly closed, and the baton in his right hand was slowly stirred, soothing and open to the melody playing, as if he was telling something and looking at something from afar.

This excellent opening immediately made the musicians nod their heads in satisfaction and the rest of the audience completely calmed down, worthy of Lucien Evans!

In the second half of the soothing introduction, the music suddenly becomes surging and turbulent, and the stirring horn seems to herald a tense, busy rhythm, a passionate, intense melody.

But the folkloric style of the first movement and the freer thematic structure than ever before made most of the musicians look pensive and frowning. (To be continued.) )
