Chapter 114: Everyone's Pathos
Christopher watched quietly as Lucien stood up and saluted amid the tsunami-like applause, and smiled for a long time: " When Victor and Rhein remodeled the piano, I thought it was a brand new instrument, with a grand volume, full sound quality, and a sharp contrast between strength and weakness, but I never tried to compose music for this new instrument, and I never thought that the melodies and techniques that could not be performed on the harpsichord and harpsichord before could be displayed on the piano. ”
"But for the knights, it only takes a while to practice. Verdi was surprised that the piano could be played this way, not how difficult Lucian's technique was, so he was briefly surprised and then returned to normal.
Natasha looked at Will with a smile on her face: "The change in fingering skills is really nothing to us, but other ordinary musicians may need to adapt for a long time, because Lucien shows not only the dazzling fingering, but also the widening of the vocal range and the contrast between strength and weakness when the piano sonata is composed, so that the music played by a piano also has a symphonic color, and it has the feeling of an orchestra, hehe, I am more and more curious and confident in Lucian's next "Pathétique". ”
Her words were relatively simple, so that the nobles around her who did not know so much about music understood that the renewal of the instrument would inevitably bring about a change in the music, and Lucien was ahead of everyone.
"I restrained my curiosity and didn't look at Lucian's "Pathétique" score, but I heard Victor mention that Lucian did make a great change to the genre, structure, and technique of the piano sonata, hehe, it seems that I am really old. I concentrated on the composition of "Dawn War" and did not study the piano properly. Christopher humorously laughed at himself.
Grand Duke Vaorit laughed and said, "Maybe I'm old too." When I heard Lucian's majestic performance just now, I was not as excited as the young man, but I felt that it was too intense and a little difficult to adapt. Of course, this does not negate the melody and technique excellence of Lucian's piano arrangement, but I hope that this self-composed "Pathétique" will give us a different feeling. ”
When her father said this, Natasha wrinkled her nose and did not refute. Secretly thought: "The previous performance was so charming and imposing, I want to learn Lucian's fingering skills as soon as possible!"
Phyllis and John saw that Lucien had not been cold on stage three times in a row, and the music they chose was also received with great enthusiasm. So he quietly relaxed a little, and as soon as the last piano sonata was welcomed, Lucian's concert would be over.
............
on the Municipal Square. The black-haired slender Pieru stared blankly at the stage in the crystal wall, listening to the applause around him that seemed to be able to tear down the roof, and whispered to himself in grief: "It shouldn't be like this." It shouldn't be like this, his fingering and playing skills are wrong!"
But when I thought of it, I was also immersed in the passionate and crazy piano melody and wild and romantic fingering performance. Pieru became more and more unable to accept and hate himself, as if only by scolding himself could he confirm that his father's playing art was correct and immortal.
"Yes, yes, his previous piano pieces are all full of skills, and there is no theme and connotation that he advocates. It must be that even he can't accept his own fingering!
In a trance, Pieru didn't notice Lucien's reappearance, and sat down in front of the piano again, his eyes slightly closed, brewing emotion.
Piola, Lilith, and the other spectators in the square suddenly fell silent, waiting for the last piece of Mr. Evans' concert.
"Can it replace a symphony and end the concert with climax and perfection?"
............
Lucien sat in front of the piano in silent contemplation. Zhilu Dao has no problems with the playing skills of "Pathétique" with the strength of a quasi-knight, but the reason why the first movement of "Pathétique" can become the most difficult of the three movements. It is because it contains strong feelings and thoughts. Once there is no emotional integration, what is played is just a series of mechanically pale notes, which can be judged by the good and the bad.
Scenes of sadness and depression flowed through Lucian's heart:
the sound and smile of the parents, the regret and grief that they can never see each other again, and cannot be made up;
the fear, trembling, helplessness, and resentment of being forced down the sewer by the pastor of the church;
the anger and grievances of being beaten by gangsters;
the pain, self-blame, and resentment of learning that Joel's family had been kidnapped by cultists;
grief, grief and anger at the sight of those three severed fingers;
......
All of this came together into a heavy sadness that weighed on Lucian's heart, and Lucian found that the most depressing thing for him was to be in the city of Aalto!
When meditating, one worries about the night watchman passing outside the house and discovering unusual fluctuations in mental power inside;
When doing experiments in the magic laboratory, you will worry that the movement will be too loud and people will be noticed;
When practicing magic, always be careful not to leave too visible marks;
When meeting with magical circles, hide your true identity, for fear of being bullied or spies of the church;
When he is active as a "professor" and rescues hostages, every step is dangerous and thrilling, every step is like walking on the edge of a cliff, and if he is not careful, he will become a blood sacrifice or a victim at the stake, very nervous, depressed and uneasy;
It was only at this time that Lucien found that his heart was filled with many negative repressions, so he channeled them out and brewed an explosion.
The pedal was all pressed to the end, and Lucien "smashed" the heartfelt set of notes with his arm heavily!
The strings inside the piano seem to be trembling!
Then the low and gloomy melody played slowly, bringing out an extremely strong and tragic flavor!
This is Lucien's heartfelt depression and sadness, a bitter desire to get rid of shackles and live in peace!
It was only at the beginning that the Grand Duke of Vaorit felt the thick atmosphere of tragedy, like the dark and gloomy thick dark clouds before the summer rainstorm, like a heavy stone pressing down on his heart, like an indescribable sad nostalgia.
This feeling is not only unique to the Grand Duke, but also to other nobles and commoners. As long as you have had a rich life experience. They all had similar feelings, and they were all infected by the emotions that Lucien resonated with through the music.
Natasha seemed to have returned to the winter of that year, and the sky of Aalto was rarely covered with black and oppressive lead clouds, which made people feel very depressed, as if they could expect something bad to happen.
Christopher remembered his wife, who had been with him for nearly fifty years but left him first, and his son, who had been ruined under the pressure of his fame. He would rather do business outside in toil and danger, facing those vicious kobolds and gnolls, than set foot in the piano room.
"There has been so much sadness in life. But all I can remember clearly is your smile, Winnie. Victor closed his eyes and listened quietly as the slow tragedy unfolded.
Such a melody rang in Phyllis's ears. She naturally thought of the anguish and grief of hearing that Count Hayne was too ill to come on the night of the birthday party.
John next to her clenched his fists, determined in his grief to get rid of the evil in the darkness once and for all!
Piola, Sharon and others in the Municipal Square thought about the difficult path of their own music, and the long and torturous journey to Aalto.
Lilith and Sara are perhaps the best at understanding Lucien's emotions in the melody. That pervasive danger, that irresolvable oppression.
There are always a lot of ups and downs in life. Everyone has their own pathos!
A cascade of pouring fast notes closes the introduction, and the music shifts to Allegro, where the exhilarating, dark-defying melody feels like a huge wave crashing against a rock.
From time to time, the melody becomes light and bright, presenting the beautiful expectations for life.
The recurrence of the theme of the tragedy can not dissolve the pathos and pain in people's hearts even if they hear such a passionate and clear powerful melody. On the contrary, because of the staccato of the theme, they were depressed in their hearts. There seemed to be a feeling of discomfort and nausea in the silence, wanting to let the struggle explode.
Even the light melody is very gloomy in such a heavy oppression.
The depression grew heavier and heavier, and watching Lucian's hands play quickly and rhythmically with high difficulty, Grand Duke Vaorit felt that he was about to suffocate, like hearing the pain of his eldest son dying in the northern fortress, like seeing the despair of his wife who gave up her future for the love between the two of them to come to the end of her life.
"I'll never see my brother again, and the Violet family will be guarded by me in the future. Natasha muttered to herself the pain and determination of that dim and dreary winter when she heard the fall of the Northern Fortress, and the vow she made while clasping her mother's right hand in the hospital bed, "Mom, I must become a true knight!"
Count Verdi's face was cloudy, and it was clear that he also had his own pain and depression.
Marcus, who was sitting upright in the seat below, looked at Lucian's flying fingers for a long time, slowly lowered his head, and let out a long sigh.
Sylvia looked melancholy and pained, and her eyes seemed to be looking at the box above.
And in the town square, Pieru could no longer suppress his emotions in such music, and suddenly cried bitterly, full of deep unwillingness and suppressed sadness, he knew very well in his heart that his father's playing art might really be replaced by Lucian's piano playing skills: "I'm sorry, father, I'm sorry, I'm too much of a failure!"
In the repression that Lilith and Sara empathize with, they also experience Lucian's unwavering dedication and never giving up hidden in music.
As the first movement draws to a close, the melody becomes more and more forceful, and the heroes charge into darkness and evil with a little sadness but not mourning.
Lucien thought that he would be able to go to a place where he could learn magic with peace of mind after today, and thought of the reward of not giving up in the face of difficulties, his will became more and more determined, the melody became more and more powerful, the light was in front of him, and victory was in front of him!
Then a few high-pitched, impassioned, and categorical notes sounded, making people feel that the tragic gloomy atmosphere was completely dispelled, and the depression in their hearts was vented.
Everyone exhaled slowly, as if the body was baptized by music inside and out, and all kinds of negative emotions were discharged.
Then the second movement begins, and the song-like melody shines like a warm sunshine on the hearts of every audience, clear and shining. The multi-part coordination is warm and beautiful, soothing everyone's heart.
When everyone recovered from their pathos, the music entered the last movement, and the melody was like raindrops, and Christopher and other musicians and civilians once again saw Lucian's hands playing on the piano at an unimaginable speed, making one note after another burst out, rendering vigorous vitality and high spirits, full of bright atmosphere.
It's that dazzling two-handed movement, and it's that brilliant and majestic playing technique, and everyone's emotions are stirred up again, flying with the music, crazy with the melody!
After a series of watery notes, Lucien pressed hard, and a powerful burst of the signature accent ended the piece.
The expressiveness and contagiousness reached the extreme at this moment, and the suppressed emotions in the hearts of the Grand Duke and others were completely cathartic, and they all stood up from their seats, and the applause was like thunder to Lucien, who paid tribute on the stage.
And in the municipal square, in addition to applause, there were crazy cheers! )
