Chapter 113: Piano Solo

In an era when there were so few popular entertainments, the explosive and infectious performance just now had a huge impact on everyone, and both nobles and commoners seemed to be ignited by it and became a little crazy.

"I felt like I was out of breath, brother. Lilith said to Sarah, feeling apprehensive and excited, "The Destiny I heard before is so different from the Destiny under Mr. Evans' command. ”

Sara replied excitedly, "Yes, only Mr. Evans has thoroughly demonstrated the spirit and will to never give up and overcome difficulties contained in this music, and my soul has been baptized again." ”

"Because this is Mr. Evans's own work, and he was so passionate about conducting it just now, it was like the whole person was immersed in the music. Lily made no secret of her admiration for Lucien.

"Mr. Evans's way of conducting is truly unique, and he can command like this! The previous conductors were so quiet. Sara said the conclusion that everyone around her kept repeating.

Compared with those gentlemen who have a high level of musical literacy, those who like music but do not know much about it are the most receptive to Lucian's change in the way he conducts, and soon like the passionate conducting style.

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

"Lucien was acting like a madman just now, and this is a temple of elegant music!" Count Verdi was the first to criticize Lucian's conducting, after being amazed at how he could conduct like this.

This is a common idea of many old-fashioned musicians, who have a hard time accepting Lucian's way of conducting, which is completely contrary to the musical education they received in the past, he is crazy!

As you can see, the next day's "Music Review" and "Symphony Herald" will have a lot of critical articles on it.

Natasha shook her head slightly excitedly, "No. Cousin Verdi. I think this is the most suitable way to conduct a symphony of fate, and I just heard the most perfect "Destiny", don't you think so?"

In front of the Grand Duke and the Cardinal, Verdi could not talk nonsense without losing his face, and he frowned and said: "This is indeed the best performance of the Symphony of Destiny, but I think it is the credit of the orchestra. Lucien: His conductor did not interfere with the performance of the orchestra, which only showed that the orchestra had a good leader. ”

"Your Excellency, I think it was Lucien's conductor who ignited the band's emotions and made them resonate with the music. That's what makes it work so perfectly. I have to admit that this style of conducting is very suitable for theme music, and it is bound to become popular with the development of theme music. Christopher commented in the most authoritative capacity.

Then he smiled and pointed out Lucien's problem: "But Lucien's command just now is really too hard. Almost went from the front to the tail, he needs to know how to control, not like a crazy person is good. Of course. As a musician for the first time on stage, he is experimenting with conducting methods that have never been done before. These small imperfections are tolerable and acceptable. For young people, we need to know how to be inclusive. ”

In addition to having a lot more knowledge of musical development and melody than this musician in this world, Lucien is not a real musical genius, at most his musicality is better than that of a normal person, so the conducting style that he has tried to form for several months is still very immature, and there are many problems, such as making the conductor seem too crazy and lose his beauty. But as Christopher said, it's not easy to do that for the first time. Lucien himself is more satisfied, after all, this is his own thing.

Christopher, the most authoritative master in the music industry, made a positive evaluation, Verdi didn't say anything, turned his face sideways to avoid Natasha's smug smile, while Archduke Vaorit held the repertoire list and said with a smile: "Actually, I like Lucian's way of conducting just now, he is like a microcosm of all of us there to fight against evil and difficulty, which is why he seems so crazy and hideous." Hey, Lucien is all piano soloists?"

As soon as he said this, the nobles picked up the repertoire list one after another.

"I had only taken a cursory look at it, and I knew what the repertoire was, but I didn't pay attention to the order, and I thought that Mr. Evans would use the Symphony of Fate as the last one. Prince Syracuse, Duke of Tria, Michel said suspiciously.

From the perspective of the normal concert arrangement, the ending must be a symphony, and it is the best one, so everyone subconsciously thinks that Lucien will definitely put the Symphony of Destiny at the end of the most brilliant way, so that the concert ends in the most splendid way, who knows that Lu Lusien played "Destiny" in the second part.

Christopher came to his senses and said with a little surprise: "The back is all piano solos, and this kind of concert arrangement is really a bit heavy and light." ”

Bishop Salde smiled kindly with his eyes half-closed: "This young man is not stupid, since he dares to arrange it like this, it means that he is very confident in the piano solo, and there may be changes similar to the previous change in the way of conducting, so let's be patient." The Lord tells us never to think that others are fools, or you are real fools. ”

"Definitely, Lucien must have something new in store. Natasha couldn't agree more.

The band on stage had been removed and a piano had been moved up, but it was not positioned facing the audience, but sideways outward.

"It looks like there's really changed......

The mere adjustment of the piano's position gave rise to a strong sense of anticipation among the nobles and musicians in the Chant Hall.

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

A few minutes after the end of the Symphony of Fate, Piora and the others in the Plaza de la Ville, like the rest of the audience around them, had been eagerly discussing every detail of the music and the conductor just now, emotional and uplifting.

When the piano was set, they quieted down, waiting for Lucien to come out while wondering, "Why is the piano facing us sideways?"

Before he could ask questions, Lucien, who was tall and handsome in a black tuxedo, walked out of the backstage calmly, first bowed deeply to the audience, and then sat down in front of the piano.

He pressed his hands on the keys, and a series of beautiful melodies came out.

"It's Canon in D major, and Mr. Evans has adapted it for piano. Sharon recognized the familiar melody as soon as she heard it.

Despite its simplicity, this Canon in D major is one of the most popular and instrumental arrangements of all the pieces that can be called classics.

The reciprocating melody is presented in different parts. Chase each other. Imitate each other, as beautiful as angels singing, soothing the excitement, nervousness, impetuousness and deep fatigue brought by fate just now, so that they can relax and enjoy the beauty of music comfortably.

The statue-like sides of Lucien and his hands roaming briskly on the keys also left a deep impression on the audience, and there seemed to be an indescribable sense of elegance.

Seven more piano melodies end. The applause rang out like a tidal wave, although it was not as enthusiastic and crazy as before, but it was full of joy from the heart.

Piola recalls the piano piece just now: "Mr. Evans seems to have made a slight change in the melody. It makes this canon in D major more beautiful, and the feeling of playing on the piano is completely different from that of violin, harp, etc. ”

"Well, the canon played on the piano in D major is not as melodious as the violin or harp. But purer and fuller, each beating note is like a round, flawless drop of water. Grace looked at the crystal wall obsessively and said to herself. "And the way Mr. Evans plays the piano is charming. ”

In the box, Natasha watched as Lucian's fingers moved rhythmically. Meaningfully and a little gritted teeth, he smiled: "It turns out that the appearance and two-hand movements when playing the piano are so charming, no wonder Lucien wants to put the piano on its side, so that the audience can see it directly." It would have been better if I had done this the last time I played Sylvia, and Lucien, the bastard, wouldn't tell me!"

Just the change in placement shows Lucien's dedication to this concert. Christopher sighed softly, "Canon's piano music in D major is very good, simple and beautiful. It is sure to become a widely circulated classic. ”

After the canon in D major, Lucien did not get up to salute. Instead, he continued to sit on the piano bench, as if something was brewing.

In less than two minutes, in the midst of everyone's discussion, Lucian's hands moved slightly.

After a succinct and smooth opening, Lucian's movements began to quicken, and short, powerful, crisp notes rang out one after another, jumping like a dancer.

"It's the violin sonata, but Mr. Evans has changed it a lot, and only uses the rondo sonata of the third movement, which is a very difficult work, is the piano appropriate?" Sharon seemed to be infected by the music, looking a little excited and worried.

Piora and the others comforted her: "Mr. Evans must have done the exercises, don't be nervous." ”

The melody grew faster and louder, and Lucian's hands on the piano moved faster and faster.

Double tones, fast scales, big jumps between the left and right hands, and many very difficult tricks are presented by Lucien in unimaginable possibilities.

"It's not like a human hand can move! It's not like a human can play!"

Sharon and Grace looked at Lucian's hands, full of surprise and disbelief.

The dazzling, gorgeous fingering and fierce melody made them, the audience, fascinated and became crazy as Lucien played.

Natasha in the box almost whistled: "Wow, what a brilliant skill, there is a crazy momentum." ”

The melody became more and more intense, the notes became more and more high-pitched, and all the audience was thrilled to a frenzy.

As Lucien finished the melody with a very difficult fingering and intense notes, there was a tsunami of applause.

There has never been such a splendid and magnificent piano music!

Sylvia and other piano musicians in the seats below listened and watched in shock, and similar thoughts surged in their hearts at the same time:

"The piano shows such a wide range and such terrifying dynamics!"

"The piano can be played like this!"

Just like when Lucien conducted Destiny just now, the dazzling piano music made everyone know the piano again! If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
