"When did this happen?" The woman said.

"I don't know about this, I just know that my grandfather's generation also passed on this legend.

Orions in the foothills of the Alps often carry with them some wood carvings in the shape of lions to protect themselves from good prey. ”

The man groped around his body and took out a small handicraft from his coat pocket, a wooden carving of a lion, somewhat similar to the lion on the statue.

"That's it, a souvenir I bought locally."

Listening to the words of the people beside him, Char's eyes were a little thoughtful.

Alicia also recalled, "It seems that when I went to Switzerland, I did meet a hunter who was chased by a bear. ”

Char sighed a little helplessly, "Can you leave these things behind such a trivial matter?" ”

"It should be because of the reason why Orion's son became a high-ranking official." Alicia said.

Char shrugged her shoulders and didn't bother with these things.

"Let's go, the concert is about to start."

They continued through the streets, along the banks of the river, to the entrance of the riverside theater in Viana, where a large number of the Austrian upper class had already entered.

The waiter at the door was strictly checking the invitations, and there was a royal concert tonight, and the king would be there.

The Vienna Theater is a historical theater in modern times, but in this era it was a large theater that had just been completed.

The Vynn is part of the name of the theatre and its origin is the river Vyn, which flows through the theatre.

It has been described as "having the most complete equipment as well as one of the largest theaters of our time".

It is the world's first-class large-scale opera house, the main symbol of Vienna, the "City of Music", and is known as the "World Opera Center".

The exterior is antique, and the opera house is a magnificent building in the Romanesque style. The vestibule and side hall are made of marble, the interior is beautifully painted with frescoes, and the auditorium has six floors and can accommodate thousands of spectators.

Char took Alicia and Sissi to find a good place to sit, and there were already many richly dressed upper class people sitting around, and in the special box above, the king and queen gradually sat down.

As time passed, the lights gradually dimmed, and only a few lights on the stage remained, illuminated by the lights.

A middle-aged man in his thirties in a suit walked up from the backstage, wearing a wig, holding his head high, full of energy, but his deep eyes revealed his extraordinary past.

That might be Beethoven.

Char didn't actually meet Beethoven either, he just knew that he would play in this concert, and he worked in this theater as a composer.

He bowed to the audience and sat down in the piano chair.

With the rhythm of the ordinary eighty-eight black and white keys, Char was sure that this person should be the Beethoven.

The melodious rhythm reverberated throughout the theater, and under his hands, the ordinary keys seemed to wear an unparalleled laurel crown, and his sadness and confidence were unmistakably popped.

The opening movement is harmonious in tone, the fingering is light, and when you close your eyes, you seem to be standing on the shore, the moonlight is flat on the calm sea, the water and the sky meet, and the sea sleeps in the soft moonlight, which seems extremely quiet and intoxicating.

At the end of the movement, the music begins to change pitch, and in the second movement, the moonlight is still there, but the sea begins to ripple.

The wind grew stronger, the waves became more and more turbulent, and the waves rushed towards the shore, as if the sea was about to wake up from its slumber. The moonlight was sprinkled, and the sparkling sea reflected a faint moonlight, like countless sapphires.....

The third movement follows, the moonlight is still calm and soft, but the wind is stronger.

The wind was blowing, the sea was turbulent, and the sea seemed to be rushing and roaring, as if someone had disturbed his clear dreams and was roaring at him. The sea was completely awakened, and the wind blew on the sea, and the waves rolled up, which was incomparably spectacular.

Char had actually heard this movement in the past, and it was supposed to be "Moonlight Sonata".

He first came into contact with Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata in a primary school textbook.

The textbook describes the origin of the sonata's name, "Moonlight", which is a legend.

Legend has it that when Beethoven was playing the piano to a blind girl, the wind blew out the candles, and the moonlight fell silently on the keys in the impoverished hut.

At this time, Beethoven improvised the "Moonlight" sonata.

After learning this lesson, he searched for this sonata, which was the second Beethoven piece he had heard besides fate.

But then he learned that the more popular theory now is that the sonata is named after the German poet Ludwig. Lerstab likens the first movement to "like a boat bobbing on the moonlit surface of Lake Lucerne in Switzerland".

Beethoven's work is always rooted in the reality in which he lives.

He endured all the pain in reality, enjoyed every joy, and expressed them in his works.

From 1796 to 1800, Beethoven's ear disease began to affect him more and more, his ears rang day and night, as if his internal organs were also suffering, and his hearing was becoming more and more deteriorating.

He remained silent about his ear disease until 1801, when he lamented in a letter to his friend Dr. Weckel:

"The noblest part of me, my hearing, has deteriorated greatly. When we were together, I felt that there were many ills that I hid from me; But since then, it has become worse and worse...... Will it still heal? Of course I would like to, but it's very slim; There is no cure for this type of disease. I had to live a bleak life, avoiding all the characters I love, especially in this world so pitiful and so selfish! ”

It is not difficult to see in these words that there is a deep sadness in him, but he needs joy so much that when there is no joy, he creates joy.

In this way, in 1801 he fell in love, and although he was constantly in love with it, and constantly dreamed of happiness, in the end happiness was always disillusioned, and he fell into pain and torment, but he still fell in love again and again.

"Moonlight Sonata" is the psychological experience of this love, and he composed the work and dedicated him to the love interest of the time, Kiri Aitai Gichodi, however, the beautiful and frivolous aristocratic lady eventually abandoned him mercilessly.

The timelines of this plane are different, so the creation time should be different.

It is in this complex painful experience and intense inner conflict, in the expectation and disappointment of love, that this great work was born.

It was not just the beautiful notes that flowed from the piano, but his tears and grief.

Char saw that the audience was listening intently, and even Sissi and Alicia were engrossed, and the audience was silent.

Until the music stopped, the audience never got out of that mood.

It wasn't until Beethoven stood up and bowed to the people that they suddenly realized that the music was over.

When they reacted, they were already sweating, and they were all immersed in that emotion.

Then, the audience burst into crisp, thunderous applause.

"You're right." Alicia turned her head sideways and lowered her voice and said, "He is indeed an excellent pianist, and he will definitely be famous in the world in the future." ”

Char smiled, he had heard many versions of the Moonlight Sonata, but only here could he clearly understand why this sonata was so famous.

He had to sigh that the reason why the names of these celebrities can be widely circulated in history is indeed because of their incomparably outstanding ability.

This kind of music was undoubtedly a success for the beginning of the concert, but it also put a lot of pressure on the musicians who followed, but there was more than one well-known musician in the concert hall.

So the mood of the whole concert continued well.

As the concert ended, everyone was a little unsatisfied.

Char had never listened to a serious concert before, but I didn't expect the first time I heard it to start from such a big start, and the opening was Beethoven's own performance.

It's a pity that Char hadn't been to Vienna before, and a few years earlier, Mozart was still alive, so he would have had the opportunity to hear a second legendary musician play.

But all in all, a good experience.

Char turned her head to look at Sissi sitting on Alicia's lap, she was leaning on Alicia's arms at the moment, half-asleep, half-awake, and even drooling.

Alicia looked up at Char a little helplessly, and Char showed a soft smile.

It's not that Sissi found the concert too boring, at least she was still full of energy when she listened to it before.

It's just that the concert is too long, and such a three-year-old child can't listen to it all.

As if sensing the end of the concert, Sissi opened her eyes a little sleepy.

"Huh? Is it over? ”

"yes, it's the next morning." Char said.

Hearing the sound, Sissi suddenly woke up, sat up straight, looked around, and found that the people around her were still in their original positions.

She quickly understood that Char was teasing herself, and she glanced at Char, her mouth bulging with anger.

But because of that baby face, I have a sense of cuteness when I'm angry.

"Did the piano played by my first uncle just now sound good?" Char said.

Sissi apparently hadn't forgiven Char yet, and turned her head angrily.

"Want to meet him?"

Hearing this, Sissi turned her head to look at him again. (End of chapter)
