………………………………………………………………………………

Aalto Musicians Association, Victor's Office.

Victor calmed down from the excitement of returning from a proud student's long absence and talked about the customs, folk music and the atmosphere of the mainland.

"Very good, very good! Lucien, you have gained a lot of money on your trip." After the exchange, Victor was not stingy with his praise and joy, because it was obvious that Lucien had good insights and absorptions for folk music.

Because Victor himself also held concerts in various countries on the mainland, Lucien described his itinerary as arriving at the Storm Strait from the central and southern parts of the mainland. Then, because he suddenly had some ideas about the folk music in this area, he returned the same way and settled and studied for a long time. Lucien did not lie that he had returned from the southern part of the mainland, the northern part of the Holy Heilz Empire, the Kingdom of Syracuse, and so on. It would be easy for Victor to see the flaws.

Lucien was not at all restrained in front of his teacher and nodded and smiled: "In fact, folk music in many places is great, with its own unique style, which is worthy of our absorption into music creation."

"This is part of what we call music accumulation. If you don't go out for a walk, look, listen, and always stay in Alto, you will easily become rigid in thinking and repeat the music. Of course, the precipitation and bursting of emotions are the most important part of music accumulation." Victor explained his concept, and he did not hide anything from Lucien, and taught himself selflessly. "And Lucien's problems based on your music have been made up for, which shows your diligence and persistence over the past three years."

Three years ago, even if Lucien had a good memory and strong physical coordination, it would be difficult to perfectly master the musical foundation in less than a year, and he could only act like a genius musician. In daily communication, Lucien had no problem talking to ordinary musicians and musicians, but when he met musicians of Christopher and Victor, he would inevitably have omissions. Fortunately, they were all generous elders, and they knew that Lucien had not been learning music for a long time, so he did not blame him, and pointed it out and corrected it casually.

During the journey, in Arlinge's life, in addition to learning and researching arcane and magic, Lucien spent at most half a day guiding his apprenticeship in one week, and spent the rest of his time using music to enjoy and relax himself.

This situation is not uncommon among magicians. Although concentration is the primary condition for success, the study and research of magic sometimes requires enduring boredom, and sometimes it is easy to immerse yourself in it and cannot return to the "real world". If you don't have another hobby to reconcile, mental breakdown and being different from ordinary people are certainly possible, so most arcane artists have different ways of relaxing, such as "Hand of Annihilation" is an excellent oil painter and an outstanding playboy.

Just as Lucien was about to answer, a polite knock came from the door, light and rhythmic, without any rush.

As a student, Lucien stood up, walked to the door, and opened the door.

"President Christopher?" Lucien was surprised to see that the one who appeared beside the door was actually "a living music legend."

Christopher, who was obviously much older and had deep wrinkles, still shaved his beard clean like he was when he was young. He smiled kindly and said, "Lucion, welcome back."

"Sir President, why are you here?" Lucien still used a familiar name, even though the real president is Othello now.

Christopher laughed and said, "I was waiting for you, the young man, to visit me, the old man, but after waiting for a long time, I didn't see you here, so I had to find you myself. I'm very curious about your experiences and new music."

Compared to three years, Christopher seems to be a little more lively and humorous, and has a feeling that he gets younger and younger as he gets older.

"I plan to visit you after communicating with Teacher Victor..." Lucien said a little embarrassedly.

Christopher smiled humorously: "Just kidding, I'm actually here to invite you and Victor to go to a small concert of a young man. He comes from the southern part of the Gusta Empire. He is a good young man who suffered but has not given up on music. After many things, he finally came to Alto. During the music festival, I accidentally heard his performance on the street and found it interesting, so I invited him to the association's concert hall to hold a small concert so that we can fully appreciate his works."

"On the street?" Victor saw that it was Christopher, and walked to the door and asked a question.

If there is a talent that can be appreciated by Mr. Christopher in street performances, then this young musician will definitely not be concealed by many street artists and bards. His reputation should have been brought to his ears, but why have he never heard of it?

Christopher nodded seriously: "He has no money and cannot rent a venue to play symphony, so he can only sing songs with piano accompaniment. His songs are very popular at the festival, but most gentlemen in the association have subconsciously rejected non-operatic and non-chantary songs, thinking that they are vulgar, simple, and not worthy of attention. By the way, his name is Franz."

"I believe in your judgment, Mr. President, is the small concert about to begin?" Victor asked with a smile.

Christopher pointed above: "Yes, let's go, ladies and gentlemen are waiting for us."

Lucien and Victor were accompanying Christopher on both sides. As he walked, he suddenly laughed and said, "Lucion, I heard from Franz that he admires you very much. Your music gives him strength, otherwise he would not be able to stick to the path of music."

"Huh?" Lucien asked a question in confusion.

"Franz's father was an ordinary citizen who was doing the bottom-level things in a business. Originally, his family had no money to let him get in touch with music, but when he was young, he was selected to a church choir, where he learned the basics of vocal music and simple composition theory. Later, he was unwilling to become a castrated singer and left the choir. At that time, he had fallen deeply in love with music and began to crazily absorb all music knowledge from libraries, musicians associations and other places, and drew wealth from local folk songs and verses."

Christopher briefly introduced Franz, "It's a pity that his creations were not loved by the nobles and the public at that time, and his father's death became poor and had to do other jobs to support his life. He worked as a dock worker, guarded the warehouse, worked as a bartender and a bartender, but at the same time continued to study and create music, poetry, but he ended up being less than twenty-two years old, and his physical and mental condition became very poor."

"Just when he could not support and wanted to give up music, "Symphony of Destiny" spread to the southern port of Gusta Empire, which allowed him to regain his strength and persevere. Gradually, his songs became famous and their income became rich, but he resolutely gave up all of this and embarked on a journey to Aalto to pursue his dream of music."

Victor smiled: "What a tough young man. Every time I hear this story of persistence and never giving up, my mood becomes very warm."

"I'm very happy to be able to inspire him and give him strength." Lucien said sincerely, which could offset his guilt.

…………

Accompanied by Christopher's housekeeper, the three of them quickly walked to the concert hall on the fifth floor.

In the hall, many musicians, musicians and music students who received the news came curiously to hear why this unknown stranger could have Mr. Christopher invite him to the association for a small concert.

They filled most of the concert hall, but the first row was empty because by default they were left for the most famous and authoritative top musicians.

"Mr. President."

"Mr. Victor."

"Mr. Evans."

As Christopher, Victor and Lucien entered one after another, they stood up and greeted them, and watched them sit in the first row.

No one raised any questions about this, and they all took it for granted.

Not long after Lucien and others arrived, the small concert began. Franz wore a black night dress and looked a little excited, and bowed to the audience frequently.

He was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with a thin face and a poor appearance. His black hair was curled into a bunch of "small balls", which was a bit messy, but his expression was extremely solemn and serious, as if he was doing a week in a church.

When Franz was slightly stunned when he saw clearly that the musicians sitting in the first row were not only familiar Master Christopher and Mr. Victor, but also a strange and handsome young man. Who is so young qualified to sit with the master and the top musician?

Soon, he came to his senses, his hands trembled, his expression was very excited, he breathed hard for a few times before calming down and sat next to the piano. At the same time, a castrated singer who cooperated with him to play and sing also stood in the center of the stage.

The piano melody sounded like a gurgling water in the concert hall, and poetic lyrics were sung from the mouths of the castrated singer.

The songs are small and diverse in form and rigorous in structure, and change with different sections. On the basis of retaining simple and deep emotions, they are separated from folk songs and bard songs, and are perfectly integrated with piano music.

The clear and beautiful songs make the listeners nod their heads slowly to the melody, and such songs seem to have a certain artistic nature.

Songs that are either hot, unrestrained, lyrical, narrative, sad, or lonely have made the whole hall quiet. No musician has ever thought that folk songs and bards can shine such elegant light in Franz's hands.

When the song performance in the first half of the concert ended, Franz stood in front of the stage again with a little anxiety, ready to accept the comments from the musicians.

This is a feature of a small audition concert, showing off one's talents in front of many professionals to get evaluations.

Christopher smiled and said, "Evans just came back from abroad and was considered half a guest, so let him talk first."

It was Mr. Evans, and Franz held his hands tightly, waiting for Lucien to speak more nervously.

Lucien said a few words of modesty, and when Christopher insisted, he pondered for a moment, and smiled: "Such music and songs have led us into a whole new world, making us forget the form of ordinary songs in the past."

This is a very high evaluation, which comes from the affirmation of the object of worship. Franz couldn't help but wave his right hand, and there was a crazy feeling inside, and the corners of his eyes became slightly moist.

Lucien continued: "You have fully explored the artistic form of songs and opened up a new path for us. I have some ideas about transforming long poems into songs, and I hope I can communicate with you after the concert."

After hearing Franz's song, Lucien had a new idea.

"No problem, thank you, Mr. Evans. You may not know how shock your "Symphony of Destiny" has given me when I was sad and desperate, and stopped the musical road as if I was about to end my life, when I stood at the door of the music hall and said the last farewell, when my world was dark and there was no light at all,..." Franz said with a little choked but spoke very quickly. (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
