Chapter 98 The Charm of Piano Playing
When the short and powerful, joyful and smooth serenade in G major sounded, Natasha's purple eyes suddenly lit up, and the melody of these two bars alone did not disappoint her curiosity all day.
Phyllis's twisted hands were unconsciously let go of her. As a music student, she had enough discernment to judge the quality of the beginning melody. This is the most impressive and rhythmic part of all serenades.
Therefore, her nervousness gradually faded, and she was infected by the subsequent musical melody, and she became light and happy. Her body swayed back and forth slightly along with the melody, and her right hand beat, exclaimed in her heart: "Even a serenade-style piano sketch, Lucien can write masterpieces and classics. She is really a genius musician who is favored by the Lord!"
In the melodious and light, interesting and cheerful melody, every guest was infected with relaxed and happy, with the urge to dance, but this was listening to the first performance of a talented musician, so they all restrained themselves, listening with a smile and appreciation, while watching Lucien wandering smoothly on the piano with his hands.
As his slender fingers moved with rhythm, pure and melodious notes seemed to jump out one by one, while his body, arms, fingers and music were integrated in harmony.
Not just music, Lucien's playing itself seems to have an indescribable beauty and temperament.
"I didn't expect that playing the piano would give people this feeling, exuding elegance and nobility, full of charm." Seeing the scene of piano solo, I don't know how many noble children have the idea of learning piano. Compared to the past, the brand new piano playing skills themselves are also an art!
Many noble girls looked shiny and their mood shook.
The bright and lively opening melody is repeatedly presented in the light dance melody, enhancing the joyful and bright atmosphere. And against its backdrop, the dance melody shows the flavor of the piano different from other instruments. Each note is full of texture, round and pure.
In such a wonderful and cheerful musical atmosphere, time passed quickly. After a few minutes, Lucien pressed the last note, put his right hand up and ended the piano sketch. Then he stood up, stroked his chest with his right hand, thanked Natasha, Phyllis, and other guests.
The applause sounded like a tide. At the banquet venue, this bright, joyful and classic music was undoubtedly warmly welcomed.
"Elegant, gorgeous, balanced, Lucien, you show your genius and spirituality to the extreme. This is a work without flaws." Natasha smiled with satisfaction and praised Lucien. As the future grand duke of Vaurit, she was very "confirmed" that Alto's musician is the best in the continent and will not be surpassed by musicians from any country, no matter what form of music it is. "I look forward to Lucien, you will complete the next few movements. At that time, I think it will definitely become a masterpiece in serenade."
She once again gave Lucien a very high evaluation, without pointing out the inevitable flaws of serenade, which is that it lacks much thoughtfulness and connotation.
Phyllis's face turned red and his eyes, which had been crying slightly red and swollen, looked very excited: "Lucion, thank you for your birthday gift. I think my coming-of-age ceremony will be remembered by the history of music because of this serenade."
"Happy birthday, Philis." After the hug, Lucien returned to the musician circle.
Christopher smiled with a cherished smile on his younger generation: "You did not let our curiosity down, Lucien, although it is just a piano sketch, it can already make us feel the pure beauty of music. It is the most beautiful and moving song I have ever heard of a serenade in a similar style. I think when you complete it thoroughly, it will be a classic work that can be on the elegant stage of the concert. Hey, although it will lose its fun in serious occasions."
"No one can deny your genius anymore, Lucien."
Sylvia was very satisfied with Lucien's serenade, with a pure and sincere smile. Moreover, when Lucien played the piano just now, her body, arms, and fingers were coordinated and full of rhythmic beauty, which made her truly moved by the piano. This is an absolutely elegant instrument. Both the music and the performance itself have special charm, which can be compared with the "Queen of Musical Instrument" violin. In terms of delicate sound quality, due to the clever use of the pedal, it is not worse than the harpsichord.
As Lucien's teacher, Victor laughed humorously: "I think it will not only become the most indispensable accompaniment in all banquets, but also the most commonly heard melody on the streets. Haha, maybe it will spread more widely than your 'destiny'."
Compared to the difficult content and thoughtfulness of the symphony, the cheerful, bright and enthusiastic style of serenade is undoubtedly more popular among ordinary people and adventurers. Victor, who once went to a tavern to collect folks, knows this very well. "And Lucien, you boldly used many difficult techniques. This is what I admire most about you. After all, your future is not a serenade."
At the end, Victor still vaguely advised Lucien, there was a genius student. If the teacher was not a narrow-minded person, he would definitely be worried that his students would take the wrong path, whether they were arrogant or not, and whether they deviated from the elegant music hall. In his opinion, symphony, concerto, sonata and opera are the objects that Lucien should concentrate on. Of course, it is understandable to practice other forms of music during the learning stage.
"I will remember, Mr. Victor." Lucien felt a little complicated when he felt Victor's implicit and deep concern. In addition to the warm feeling, it was also finally confirmed that Rhine knew about the headquarters of the Magical Council and had a goal of striving for all his strength. Perhaps after a successful concert, he would embark on a new journey and would definitely stay away from music in the future. He really disappointed Victor's eager expectations.
Although it is a piano sketch, it is gorgeous, exquisite and beautiful to the point that many symphony cannot reach. It is the pinnacle of the music that simply shows the beautiful music. Other musicians around it either feel relieved to see a musical genius not degenerate, or are disappointed and upset because they cannot pick out their flaws.
McCantz's expression was a little distorted. He glanced at Julian who was deeply hit hard, then seemed to remember something, stood up and pointed at Lucien and said, "You are not a novice who has only been studying piano for a few months, you are a fallen man who trades with the devil."
All the musicians and the nobles nearby turned their eyes in surprise, the most serious charge, the allegation of Lucien's death.
"McCandz, pay attention to your words. This piano sketch was created by Lucien himself. After several weeks of practice, he could play this song proficiently even if he had not fully mastered piano skills." Victor certainly stood up to protect his students.
Lott and Herodotus were silent and did not speak, and were involved in the accusations of being involved in the devil. Even if they were nobles, they would not dare to excuse Lucien at will. What if it was true? Then they would use their own lives to defend Lucien.
McCantz was just inspired, but after the accusation, he became more and more like this. He looked at Lucien's eyes proudly and sternly: "Mr. Victor, your explanation cannot be accepted. If Lucien's performance just now was just average, it was indeed consistent with the proficiency of repeated practice. However, his playing was elegant, gorgeous and smooth, and was the level of a qualified performer. I would like to ask all ladies, sir, is it possible? Can you reach this level in just a few months of study? The talent of creation can be said to be the gift of the Lord, born, but the performance is practiced over time. Lucien, you betrayed the Lord's favor."
The more he spoke, the more proud he became, and he had begun to convict Lucien.
After he said this, others recalled just now and found that it was indeed the case. Lucien's performance was confident and elegant, full of charm, and was very expressive and infectious. He could hold a concert. So he was confused, afraid and worried about Lucien, and he looked at what reason he used to defend himself.
But it was not Lucien who spoke, but Sylvia, who had been smiling quietly at McCantz. Her slightly hoarse and sexy voice was filled with a faint smile: "Mcantz, you'd better listen to other people's judgment."
Lucien was slightly stunned, and it seemed that Natasha would tell her everything.
"Ms. Sylvia, you all noticed Lucien's hypocrisy, insidious and cunning." McCantz did not dare to offend Sylvia, and stretched his hands to both sides, letting her see other people's attitudes.
Victor sucked in and tried to defend Lucien. If such a thing is involved, Lucien would be on the stolen stand.
But at this moment, a mature and lazy voice came: "I can testify that Lucien's playing skills are for other reasons and have nothing to do with any evil."
McCantz didn't expect that besides Victor, there were those who dared to defend Lucien. He turned his head angrily, but saw Natasha standing behind him with a smile: "Princess, Princess, Princess, are you testifying for him?"
The keen feeling of the level five knight made Natasha notice what happened here and walked over with Phyllis.
"Of course, the two cardinals can also testify for Lucien." Natasha pointed at Lucien. "Genius will always be treated preferentially, and there will always be many rewards. Are you right, McCantz?"
McCantz's face suddenly turned red, but it quickly turned black, and he reluctantly smiled and said, "With your princess, you testify, I must have thought too much."
After reluctantly saying a few words, McCantz said goodbye in advance on the excuse of being uncomfortable. Barret and Clement were a little unconfident by Lucien's "a piano sketch created by one month". He also left, preparing to travel in Alto for a few days, and returned to Tria after having a worthy experience.
Only Julian was very depressed for a while and cheered up and said to Christopher: "Dear President Christopher, I want to stay with the Aalto Musicians Association for a few years because I found that I still have many flaws, especially in symphony, and Aalto's musical heritage and atmosphere are incomparable to other places."
"We very much welcome other musicians. Only fresh blood can make Alto's music never stop moving forward." Christopher did not refuse.
After Julian got his approval, he picked up a glass of wine and said to Lucien, "I have to admit that your serenade is better than mine. I will learn from you and try to catch up with yours."
"I hope you succeed." Lucien raised his white water.
As the dance music started, a bunch of noble girls dressed up appeared in front of Lucien, and various fragrances came to his nose.
"Mr. Evans, I want to learn piano. Can you teach me the basics of piano while dancing?"
"Lucion, you play the piano with charm. I like it very much. I want to invite you to dance."
"Mr. Evans, look at my hands, are they suitable for learning piano?"
...
In the chaotic voice, Lucien's mouth twitched a few times. Shouldn't the man invite the woman to dance?
Fortunately, Phyllis came over with a smile, relieved Lucien, and danced a regular minuet with him.
After the dance, Lucien simply took the wine glass to the balcony and vented. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to Piaotian Literature Registered Members to recommend this work. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
