…………………………………………………………………

The beautiful piano melody delicately shows Lucien's complex inner emotions, including sweet tenderness, touching melancholy, and unspeakable sadness, like the cold moonlight and silver scales dancing quietly under the night sky. The quiet lake brought all the listeners into a beautiful and dreamy world of tranquility, and resonant emotions flowed slowly from the bottom of their hearts.

I don’t know how many people forget their irritability and eagerness at this time, how many people become quiet and contemplative at this time, and how many people suddenly find that the corners of their eyes are unconsciously dripping tears...

The first movement slowly disappeared in such a peaceful atmosphere, but soon, the brisk and lively second movement played out, as if comforting everyone's soul, showing them a gentle and joyful smile, expressing perfectly There was a change in emotion.

The musicians who woke up from the quiet and melancholy atmosphere of beautiful music looked at each other in surprise. Maybe those ordinary people and nobles who were completely infected by the music and found it hard to think more did not notice it, but they were keenly aware that the two There is almost no pause between the two movements, which is extremely compact, but the effect is surprisingly good.

However, they did not delve into the reasons for this for the time being, and continued to listen carefully, because it is not possible to hear the "Moonlight Sonata" played by Mr. Lucien Evans himself anytime and anywhere. What they need to do now is to appreciate it carefully and not waste this time. opportunity for a concert.

The bright and beautiful second movement, like a flower, gradually became low, but when everyone was ready to take a rest and make some adjustments to enjoy the next intense melody, Lucien played the third movement without stopping.

The surging, fast-boiling notes lifted the hearts of the audience at once, feeling the unstoppable enthusiasm and unrestrainedness, as well as the tension and urgency of picking flowers on the edge of the cliff.

They saw Lucien's hands jumping and dancing as if he had the power bestowed by the gods, expressing very complicated piano skills into beautiful and intense melodies and a charming side-playing figure. It's a far cry from the melancholy princely elegance of his first movement but with the same visual impact.

A few iconic high-pitched notes ended, everyone's heart fell back to the original place, and then they burst into violent applause, surging and continuous like a surging tide.

Betty, carrying a shortbow, happily said to her sister Joanna and brother-in-law Simon: "Compared with Mr. Evans' performance, the "Moonlight" we have heard before is really mediocre. The unique melancholy tranquility and sweetness Sadness, they can't express it at all, and Mr. Evans' performance of the next two movements is more impactful."

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

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

Betty's face turned red immediately: "Sister, don't laugh at me, I know I still have a long way to go to stimulate the power of my blood, but I will work hard, I will work hard!"

The premise of the original agreement was to become an official knight.

"The Principality of Violet is close to the Dark Mountains, which has given us a lot of opportunities to temper. There is no place more suitable for us to stimulate the power of our blood through adventure." The attendant's strength has improved again, and it is one step closer to inspiring the power of the blood.

Betty nodded first, and then looked sweetly at Lucien who was resting by the piano for a short while, preparing for the second sonata: "Actually, I know that Mr. Evans' agreement was just to encourage me, and I didn't really hope that he would Play a piece for me in private. I can feel his concert in this way, I am very satisfied. Of course, I will not relax my efforts, and I will not desecrate this very important and beautiful encouragement and 'dream' to me .”

Greenton, who was on the edge of the Municipal Square, applauded with satisfaction and enthusiasm, and kept nagging to the people around him: "The "Moonlight" in Mr. Evans' hands is really beautiful. I can hear him play once, and I have never heard of it." It's a pity. Hey, don't you feel nothing when you listen to other people's playing in the future? This is the difference between a master pianist and others!"

Inside the chant hall VIP underwriting.

"It turns out that the various movements of "Moonlight Sonata" should be compact without pauses, so that the emotional changes can be clearly contrasted, the melody can be continuous and cohesive, and a perfect feeling can be created." Natasha woke up from the beautiful atmosphere brought by the moonlight, and discussed Speaking of this special technique, "No wonder I always felt that something was wrong when I played it by myself... His letter didn't mention this..."

"Maybe he thought that you, Your Highness, can understand his idea, so he forgot to write some performance requirements." Christopher said half-jokingly.

As for Lucien, he only contacted Natasha after he went out to collect news, and even the letters to Joel, John and others were forwarded through her. The intelligence system of the Principality of Orit, etc., but most people have a certain aspect of mind, so rumors are brewing and spreading, and gradually confirmed a certain rumor before. This makes many people who know the inside story not only look forward to it, but also feel dissatisfied and worried.

Natasha didn't care about Master Christopher's humorous jokes, and seriously discussed each person's different music processing styles.

Hearing their discussion, Grand Duke Violet glanced at Natasha, waking up from the sweet and sad memories evoked by "Moonlight", his brows were slightly frowned but his expression was slightly relieved.

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

…………

After a short break, Lucien continued to play emotionally. It was still the familiar "Pathetic", and it still had a familiar feeling, but compared to the first time they heard it, everyone knew how to appreciate the emotions contained in it. The power of not despairing, mourning and not giving up, I have become more and more aware of the touching music.

After playing "Pathetique", Lucien clenched his right hand into a fist and put it to his mouth, coughing a few times hastily, causing Franz, Grace, Fabrini and others who witnessed this scene in the background to twitch .

Fortunately, they quickly regained their composure when they saw Lucien. They stood up with flushed cheeks as if nothing had happened, and then sat down on the piano bench again.

"What kind of virtuoso piano passage?" Fabrini, who had never heard of Lucien's piano practice, asked Franz and Grace curiously because it was a solo.

In his heart, Franz was Lucien's "assistant", and Grace was his student, so he should know more or less.

Franz shook his head: "Mr. Evans practiced by himself after the rehearsal and went home, and for a great musician like him, no one is required to rehearse before the concert, so I haven't heard it either."

"Me too. But the teacher has made it clear that this is a piano passage showing off skills, so it should be the kind that is extremely difficult but not as good as others." Grace deduced.

At this time, all the voices in the chant hall and the municipal square stopped, because they saw Lucien stretch out his hands and press on the keys.

Then, they seemed to hear countless bumblebees fluttering their wings, and the buzzing sound seemed to ring in their ears.

The speed is getting faster and faster, "Bumblebees are flying all over the sky", Greenton and others are stunned to see Lucien's hands are playing so fast that it is not human-like, bringing out a strong sense of rhythm and passionate melody like a race, which makes After hearing this, people can't help but their heart beats faster, and their whole body is full of enthusiasm!

"Flight of the Bumble Bee", one of the fastest and most skillful piano pieces!

At the speed of flying, the piano passage in just a few minutes came to an end before everyone could react, and the ordinary people in the municipal square were excited, and the applause was like thunder!

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

Christopher, Victor, Othello and other musicians nodded in satisfaction because they saw the extremely difficult technique, and frowned slightly because the performance of this piece of music was a bit beyond their ability to accept, it seemed weird and absurd . But it's not a big problem if it's just a piano passage that is just for show.

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

She understands that speed is not the theme. With her strength as a sky knight, she can play the piano as fast as she wants, but at the same time, she can still maintain a wonderful auditory enjoyment. That is the test of a musician.

…………

The solo part was completely over, and the nobles, musicians in the chant hall, and ordinary people in the municipal square began to relax themselves in various ways, because there were two long symphonies to come.

Some of them enthusiastically exchanged and praised the previous command and performance, some curiously and excitedly discussed the piano passage where the bumblebee buzzed, and wondered how Lucien Evans was different from other musicians. Marvel at the whimsy and groundbreaking style...

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

"What kind of symphony will "The New Country" be?" Christopher sat upright, full of expectations, and so did the other musicians.

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

Lucien's eyes were slightly closed, and the baton in his right hand was moved slowly, following the soothing and open melody played, as if he was talking about something or looking at something from a distance.

This excellent opening immediately made the musicians nod in satisfaction, and made the other listeners completely calm, as expected of Lucien Evans!

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

However, the folk style and the freer theme structure displayed in the first movement made most musicians look contemplative and frowning.
