Christopher quietly watched Lucian stand up and pay tribute to the tsunami-like applause, and after a long time, he smiled and said: "When Victor and Rhein transformed the piano, I felt that it was a new instrument, with a grand volume, full sound quality, and a sharp contrast between strength and weakness, but I never tried to compose music for this new instrument, and I never thought that the melodies and skills that could not be expressed on the harpsichord and harpsichord before could be fully displayed on the piano. The piano piece arranged by Lucian just now creatively incorporates a lot of violin techniques, which is very difficult, unlike what humans can do."
"But for the rider, it only takes a period of practice." Verdi was surprised that the piano could be played like this, not how difficult Lucian's technique was, so he was briefly surprised and then returned to normal.
Natasha looked at Will with a smile: "The change in fingering technique is indeed nothing to us, but other ordinary musicians may need to adapt for a long time, because Lucian He shows not only the dazzling fingering, but also the widening of the range of vocal range, the contrast between strength and weakness when composing the piano sonata, so that the music played by a piano also has a symphonic color, and it feels like a band, hehe, I am more and more curious and confident about Lucian's next "Sadness"."
Her words were relatively simple, so that the nobles around her who were not so knowledgeable about music understood that the renewal of musical instruments would inevitably bring about changes in music, and Lucian was ahead of everyone.
"I restrained my curiosity and didn't look at Lucian's "Pathos" score, but I heard Victor mention that Lucian did make a lot of changes to the genre, structure, technique, etc. of the piano sonata. Christopher humorously laughed at himself.
Archduke Vaorit smiled and said: "Maybe I'm old too, I wasn't as excited as a young man when I heard Lucian's majestic performance just now, but I felt it was too intense and a little unable to adapt. Of course, this cannot deny the excellent melody and technique of Lucian's piano arrangement, but I hope that this piece of "Sadness" written by him himself can bring us different feelings."
When her father said this, Natasha wrinkled her nose and did not refute, and secretly thought: "The previous performance was too charming and imposing, I want to learn Lucian's fingering skills as soon as possible!"
Phyllis and John saw that Lucian had not been cold on stage three times in a row, and the music they chose was extremely warmly welcomed, so they quietly relaxed a little, and then as long as the last piano sonata was welcomed, Lucian's concert would end successfully.
…………
In the municipal square, the black-haired and slender Pierre looked blankly at the stage in the crystal wall, listening to the applause around him that seemed to be able to overturn the roof, and whispered to himself sadly: "It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this, his fingering and playing skills are wrong!"
But when he thought that he had just been immersed in the passionate and crazy piano melody and wild romantic fingering performance, Pierre became more and more unable to accept and hate himself, as if only scolding himself could confirm that his father's playing art was correct and immortal.
"Yes, yes, his previous piano music was all piled up with technique, without the theme ideas and connotations he advocated himself. It must be that even he himself can't accept his fingering! It must be like this!"
Pierre, who was in a trance, didn't pay attention to Lucian's reappearance, and sat down in front of the piano again, his eyes slightly closed, brewing emotions.
The audience in the square such as Piora and Lilith suddenly fell silent, waiting for the last piece of Mr. Evans' concert.
"Can it replace the symphony and make the concert end with a climax and perfection?"
…………
Lucian sat in front of the piano and pondered quietly, knowing that he had no problem playing "Pathos" with the strength of a quasi-knight, but the reason why the first movement of "Pathetic" can become the most difficult of the three movements is because it contains strong feelings and thoughts. Once there is no emotional integration, what is played is just a series of mechanically pale notes, which people can judge good or bad at a glance.
Sad and depressing scenes flowed through Lucian's heart:
the voices and smiles of parents, the regret and grief of never being able to see each other again and making up for it;
the fear, trembling, helplessness and resentment of being forced into the sewers by the church pastor;
the anger and aggrievance under the beating of gangsters;
the pain, self-blame, and resentment of learning that Joel's family was kidnapped by cultists;
the sadness, grief and anger when I saw those three severed fingers;
……
All of this converged into a heavy sadness that weighed on Lucian's heart, and Lucian found that the most depressing thing for him was to be in the city of Aalto, the City of Psalms!
When meditating, I worry that the night watchman passing by outside the house will notice unusual fluctuations in spiritual power inside;
When conducting experiments in the magic laboratory, I worry that the movement will be noticed;
When practicing magic, always be careful not to leave too obvious traces;
When gathering with magical circles, they must hide their true identities, for fear of bullying the weak or spies from the church;
When working as a "professor" and rescuing hostages, every step is dangerous and thrilling, every step is like walking on the edge of a cliff, and if you are not careful, you will become a blood sacrifice object or a victim on the stake, very nervous, depressed and uneasy;
It was only at this time that Lucian realized that his heart was filled with many negative and depressed emotions, so he channeled them out and brewed an explosion.
The pedal was all stepped on, and Lucian's arm "smashed" the set of notes from the heart heavily!
Pawn! The strings inside the piano seem to be shaking! It's shocking!
Then the low and dark melody slowly played, bringing out an extremely strong tragic flavor!
This is Lucian's heartfelt depression and sadness, and his desperate desire to get rid of shackles and live a peaceful life!
At just the beginning, Grand Duke Vaorit felt the strong tragic atmosphere, like the dark and gloomy thick dark clouds before the summer rainstorm, like the heavy stone pressing down on the heart, like the indescribable sadness and nostalgia.
This feeling is not only experienced by the Grand Duke, but also by other nobles and commoners, as long as they have rich life experiences, they all have similar feelings, and they are all infected by the emotions that Lucian resonates with through music.
Natasha seemed to have returned to the winter of that year, and the sky of Alto was rarely covered with black lead clouds, which made people feel extremely depressed, as if they could predict that something bad would happen.
Christopher thought of his wife who had been with him for nearly fifty years but left him first, and his son who had been ruined under the pressure of his loud reputation.
"There have been too many sorrows in my life, but all I can remember clearly is your smile, Winnie." Victor closed his eyes and listened quietly to the slow introduction of the tragedy.
When such a melody sounded in Phyllis's ears, she naturally thought of the pain and sadness of hearing that Count Hayne was ill and unable to come that night of the birthday party.
John next to her clenched his fists tightly, determined in his grief to completely get rid of the evil in the darkness!
Fiora, Sharon and others in the municipal square thought of the unsmooth journey of their musical path and the long and arduous journey to Aalto.
Lilith and Sara may best understand Lucian's emotions contained in the melody, the ubiquitous danger, the indissolvable depression.
There are always many ups and downs in life, and everyone has their own sorrows!
A series of fast notes pouring down ends the introduction, and the music turns to the allegro, and the exciting, dark-defying melody is like a giant wave crashing against the rocks, giving people an uplifting feeling.
The melody becomes light and bright again from time to time, presenting the beautiful expectations of life.
The recurring appearance of the tragic theme of the introduction makes people unable to resolve the sadness and pain in their hearts even if they hear such a passionate and clear powerful melody.
Even the light melody looks very gloomy in such heavy depression.
The pressure became heavier and heavier, watching Lucian's hands play quickly and rhythmically with difficulty, Archduke Vaorit felt that he was about to suffocate, like hearing the pain of his eldest son dying in the northern fortress, like the despair of seeing his wife who gave up her future for the love between the two of them when she reached the end of her life.
"I will never see my brother again, and I will protect the Violet family from now on." Natasha muttered to herself about the pain and determination of hearing about the fall of the northern fortress in that dark and gloomy winter, and the vow she made when she clutched her mother's right hand on the hospital bed, "Mom, I must become a true knight!"
Count Verdi's face was gloomy, and he obviously had his own pain and depression.
Marcus, who was sitting upright in the seat below, looked at Lucian's flying fingers for a long time, slowly lowered his head, and let out a long sigh.
Sylvia looked melancholic and painful, and her eyes seemed to be looking at the box above.
He knew very well in his heart that his father's playing art would be replaced by Lucian's piano playing skills: "I'm sorry, father, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I failed too much!"
In that empathetic depression, Lilith and Sara also experienced Lucian's firm persistence and never giving up hidden in music.
The first movement gradually comes to an end, the melody becomes more and more determined and powerful, and the heroes charge forward towards darkness and evil with a little tragic but not mournful atmosphere.
Lucian thought that after today, he would be able to go to a place where he could learn magic with peace of mind, and he thought of the reward of never giving up in the face of difficulties, his will became stronger, the melody became more and more powerful, the light was in front of him, and the victory was just around the corner!
Then a few high-pitched and decisive notes sounded, making people feel that the tragic and gloomy atmosphere was completely dispelled, and the depression in their hearts was vented.
Everyone exhaled slowly, as if their bodies were baptized by music, resolving all kinds of negative emotions.
Then the second movement begins, and the song-like melody is like warm sunlight shining on the hearts of every audience, clear and shining. The multi-part combination is warm and beautiful, soothing everyone's hearts.
When everyone recovered from their grief and the music entered the last movement, the melody sounded like raindrops, and Christopher and other musicians and civilians once again saw Lucian's hands playing on the piano at an unimaginable speed, making one note after another burst out, rendering vigorous vitality and high-spirited emotions, full of bright atmosphere.
It was the dazzling and stunned hand movements, and the brilliant and majestic playing skills, everyone's emotions were once again driven, flying to the music, crazy to the melody!
After a series of waterdrop-like notes, Lucian pressed hard, and a signature accent burst out powerfully, ending the entire piece.
The expressiveness and appeal reached the extreme at this moment, and the pent-up emotions in the hearts of the Grand Duke and the others were completely vented, and they all stood up from their seats, and the applause was like thunder to Lucian who paid tribute on the stage.
And in the municipal square, in addition to applause, there were actually crazy cheers!
