Franz immediately thought of a song that happened to be the conductor of Johann Strauss Sr. at a charity ball held by the Vienna government.

"Mr. Strauss, someone is looking for you." A young musician said.

"Didn't you see me performing? Do you know what this place is? Any big man here can make you completely disappear from this world, and you dare to disturb me! Believe it or not, I'm going to fire you right now! ”

Johann Strauss Sr., although he was a commoner, had already made a name for himself at this time, and had even made a special performance at Queen Victoria's enthronement ceremony.

He was no longer the hairy boy who had just arrived in Vienna wearing only a white sweatshirt and a violin.

At this time, the elder Johann Strauss was more like a businessman than a musician, and the businessman naturally wanted to put profit first, and these powerful people in front of him were most likely his potential customers.

After all, the cost of his orchestra was very high, and ordinary merchants and nobles simply could not afford it.

"Sorry to interrupt your show." Adjani opened her mouth to relieve the aggrieved young man, and the young musician glanced at Adjani gratefully, and Adjani smiled and winked at the other party.

Adjani's unconscious movements were easy to give people the illusion, and the young musician lowered his head a little shyly.

Johann Strauss Sr. also noticed the woman in front of him, who had both the mature charm of a young woman and the naughty and agile spirit of a girl, and was richly dressed and capable.

The experienced John immediately analyzed that the woman in front of him was either the mistress of a certain big man or the attendant of a big man, not those ordinary women.

If this kind of person is not handled well, it will bring him big trouble, so old Johann Strauss immediately put on a smile and asked respectfully.

"Hello, lady, how can I help you?"

"You are Mr. Johann Strauss, your performance is wonderful, Grand Duke Franz Joseph wants to see you, please enjoy it." Adjani handed over the invitation and left.

One is that Adjani has other people to invite, the second is that she doesn't like the look in the eyes of the man in front of her, and the third is that she is sure that the other party will definitely go to the appointment, so she doesn't want to waste time.

Johann Strauss Sr. didn't need to look at the invitation to know who Franz Josef was.

"Could it be that Archduke Franz is also a fan of mine?" Johann Strauss Sr. couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Three days later, Vienna, Royal Gardens.

John Strawst Sr. changed into his favorite dress, and had his wife carefully take care of his hair, making sure he could see Archduke Franz in the best possible light.

Maybe from now on he will be like Mozart and become a court musician. Although now his band is very profitable, after becoming a court musician, he will be more famous and profitable.

Johann Strauss the Elder knew this well, so he confidently went to the Royal Gardens.

But he seemed to be late, and a long table was already full, all of whom Johann Strauss the Elder knew, Chopin, Liszt, Robert Schumann, Karl Czerny, Paganini, and Archduke Johann Berlioz.

Except for the dead and unborn, the bigwigs of the nineteenth-century music scene were basically gathered, of course, if it weren't for Vienna, if it weren't for the help of Archduke John and Adjani, Franz would not have been able to invite so many people.

First of all, Chopin was personally very dissatisfied with the Austrian Empire, but fortunately, Adjani and Chopin had a good personal relationship, both participated in the Warsaw Uprising, went into exile in Paris together, and then joined the Polish Restoration Army to campaign for Poland, so he will appear here today.

Although Archduke John was a little unreliable, he studied music with Beethoven, was cheated by tens of millions of dollars in business with the Rothschilds, fought with Napoleon, let him go, and almost Archduke Karl to death.

But I have to say that his fame is really big, and the name of Beethoven's disciple is very useful, including Czerny and Liszt, everyone has to give him face.

Franz is incomplete in five tones, and humming a minor key is naturally left to Adjani.

In fact, Adjani's musical literacy is very good, but Franz's level is too poor, and she can't completely reproduce the tune of that song.

Some of the music masters present closed their eyes and listened, some took out pen and paper to draw the score, some had already started the beat with their hands, and some played the accompaniment with utensils.

Even before Adjani had finished humming it for the first time, these music masters had already found the melody of the piece, and the result was that under their guidance, Adjani actually hummed those passages that Franz had forgotten.

In just a few minutes, the full score for that song was complete.

After that, Liszt and Chopin sat in front of the piano, Paganini and others picked up the violin, and the masters played a piece together, and the effect was very shocking, but Adjani's humming made people feel like a love song.

After the song, Berlioz took the lead in speaking, "Grand Duke Franz, it's still very good to have this level at the age of eight, don't be inferior"

Franz sighed in his heart, "No wonder you are poor all your life, you are so good at talking." ”

At this time, someone proposed to fill in the lyrics for Franz's tune, but Franz flatly refused.

In Franz's mind, those European composers are okay, but the level of lyrics is really poor, either love or love, or red flowers and green grass.

So, Franz came up with the Austrian version of the lyrics that he had changed a long time ago.

The Holy Roman Empire has been around for a thousand years

The Elbe, Rhine, Danube, Po, east and north flows

Zongzi moistens all countries

But the calamities are endless

Eternal breeding, Central Europe is nourished

But it is dangerous, uncertain, moody, and dangerous

Water can carry boats for long voyages

It can also turn clouds and rain and make evil waves

The Tao is unpredictable natural disasters, and it is difficult to prevent them

However, fighting for one's life, being an obstacle and full of sorrow

Standing in the West

The masters had different expressions after reading the lyrics, they had never seen such a strange lyrics, the number of grammatical errors was outrageous, and the style was more like a long poem than the lyrics.

Several German musicians were even more tearful after reading it, although it was talking about the flood, but it was more like a history of the German nation, telling the turmoil, unrest, and hesitation experienced by this nation, but it never gave in, continued to struggle, and kept moving forward

Whether it is a natural disaster, or the ferocious attack of the French and Ottomans, countless ancestors have thrown themselves into it to fight for their lives, including commoners and nobles, men and women, these people have been swallowed by history, but it is their efforts that have won the life of others.

Although the tone is slightly tragic, the whole song is full of a never-say-die spirit, and depicts a future of self-improvement, self-esteem, and self-confidence for the Germans.

It was Chopin who cried the most, although it was full of Greater German thought, but the Ottoman and the flood reminded him of his native Poland, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the spear of God that had once been alone and pierced through the Ottomans.

Others, on the other hand, were in a heavy heart, and they saw an ambitious monarch, a terrible idea of the Great German, regardless of faith or character, and that this young man would surely stir up countless bloody storms in Europe.

"Grand Duke Franz, what's the name of this song?"

"Against the Waves"

I didn't think about the lyrics, but I will definitely mention the Napoleonic Wars, the Siege of Vienna, the Augsburg water system、..
