Chapter 106: The Dream of Music


Bronce used to be the estate of Natasha, the Violet Countess, and the coachman was no worse than that of Phyllis "Bern", and the carriage drove smoothly through the crowded streets of Aalto, slowly heading to the Musicians' Association of the borough, without making Lucien in the carriage feel the slightest bump.

"Aalto has become so lively."

Lucien felt the unprecedented hustle and bustle of Aalto through the half-open window, and the crowd walking on both sides of the avenue was several times larger than at normal times.

On the avenue, you can see a lot of unfamiliar carriages, because the coats of arms on their carriages are not familiar to Lucian, "This is the coat of arms of the Viscount of Taran of the Holy Hyelz Empire, and this is the coat of arms of the Baron of the White Maple Forest of the Ancient Kingdom of Syracuse, hehe, I can be regarded as a heraldic scholar." ” Natasha's study has books dedicated to the coat of arms of the nobility, and this kind of book occupies a large part of the study, so although Lucien has not read them in their entirety, he can basically recognize the common coats of arms through strong memory and retrieval comparison.

Looking at the somewhat exotic carriages, Lucien turned his attention to the two sides of the avenue, where bards and street performers could be seen every dozen meters.

"Uncle Joel" Lucien suddenly noticed that at the corner of the street, Joel was happily playing the "your" harp, although he was missing two fingers on his left hand, but it did not prevent him from playing ordinary music with this simple instrument.

Motioning for the coachman to pull over to the side of the street, Lucien walked up to Joel, looked at him with a smile, and listened quietly as he finished playing a warm and romantic serenade.

The crowd applauded, and some took out the bronze and threw it into Joel's hat.

But none of them recognized it, and the quiet young man smiling next to him was the genius musician they had been talking about.

After playing, Joel humorously said to Lucien, "It's hard to stay at home for a long time and have nothing to do." ” John was favored by Sir Vaane, and Lucien often found various reasons to take care of them, and Joel and Alyssa were able to live a very good life even if they didn't have to work.

Lucien didn't feel embarrassed by Joel in the slightest: "I can see that Uncle Joel is very happy for you, and it's a beautiful thing to be able to simply enjoy the joy of music.

"Joel didn't pay any attention to the copper in the hat.

"That's right, the arrival of the Aalto Festival rekindled my enthusiasm and I took to the streets again, but not for life."

Joel was even happier when he got Lucien's understanding, "I feel like I've gone back to the past, not long after I came to Aalto, just like them, full of musical dreams and simple dedication to music, after so many years, I finally found this beauty again."

He pointed to the strange bards and street performers in the neighborhood.

They were nothing like their peers who had been in Aalto for a long time, they were all trying to play their music to passers-by, showing their singing voices, hoping for praise and affirmation, not money.

Lucien loved the simplicity of beauty: "When I saw them, my mood became cheerful. ” "So that's what I love about the Aalto Festival."

Joel laughed, then picked up the seven-stringed "your" harp and played a soothing and melodious tune.

Lucien watched him immerse himself in the world of dream music, did not disturb, stood quietly for a while, and then walked around the neighborhood, and enjoyed the performances of bards and street performers, occasionally throwing out a few copper narls to express his affirmation, "home" at home to analyze magic for too long, Lucien somewhat missed such a vibrant, lively and noisy scene.

And from their different flavors of music from different countries, Lucien is also absorbing the essence and perfecting a piece of music composed by himself.

This piece is not a plagiarism, but an adaptation of the third movement of a violin sonata in G minor, which is one of the most difficult in the world.

Since there is no similar piece of music on the earth for this sonata, Lucien is completely adapted by himself, which can be regarded as a real adaptation of his own, and in any case, in what may be the first and last concert performance of his life, Lucian still hopes to have something of his own.

Walking slowly through the streets, Lucien found himself really in love with the vibrant city, the melodious music, the warm and bustling scenes, all so beautiful: "If only there was no church." ” "This gentleman, come to our concert for free" Suddenly, a man of about twenty years old ran by, he sincerely invited Lucian, his green eyes full of enthusiasm and expectation.

Lucien asked suspiciously, "Concert" "Yes, sir, we rented a big house down the street for a concert, and invited everyone to listen to it for free," the brown-haired man said very quickly, "by the way, I'm Piola, the first violinist of the band, would you like to participate?"

Lucien was just about to listen around before two o'clock in the afternoon, so he smiled and nodded: "Where?"

Piora cheered: "Thirtieth listener" Then he led Lucien into a street and into the lobby of a small two-story civilian building.

In the center of the hall was a makeshift stage with two violins, a viola, a cello, and a harpsichord borrowed from nowhere.

After Piola brought Lucien in, he smiled apologetically, "Sir, please wait fifteen minutes, we have to invite more friends."

During this time, Grace will play the harpsichord for you. ” Lucien probably understood what was going on, they should be bands from other countries, taking advantage of the Aalto Music Festival, to come here to pursue their musical dreams, but because they are not famous, and they do not have enough money to rent those concert halls in Aalto, and even if they do, there are not many audiences, so they can only use the form of free and humble concerts to let more people know about them, get affirmed, and become famous.

When Piola went out, the girl named Grace played the harpsichord dedicated to Sylvia, and the familiar melody rang in Lucian's ears.

The piece was easy to learn, and Grace played it well, but Lucien frowned slightly: "The harpsichord can't produce that pure feeling like a spring tinkling water, and the melody like a song is a little worse." ” Due to its other advantages, the harpsichord was not immediately eliminated by the piano.

After four or five familiar pieces of music by Lucian, Piola and two other men and a woman brought in more than twenty guests.

Seeing that the small room had become crowded, Piola decided to start the concert, he walked on the stage, picked up the violin, and said enthusiastically: "We are a band from Stulk, the pearl of the sea, I am Piola the first violinist, this is Sharon the second violin, Green the violist player, Leslie the cellist player, and Grace the harpsichord player, welcome everyone to our concert." ” It can be seen that they often hold similar free and humble concerts in their original city, so they have a lot of experience, and they use a lively serenade to arouse everyone's emotions at the beginning.

After that, they wrote their own fantasias and other small works.

Although Lucien does not have any real creative ability himself, he has been exposed to the Aalto Musicians Association, and his piano playing has reached a certain height, so his ability to distinguish music is still very strong, and he nodded slightly: "There is a spirit surname, there are a few good melodies, and the harmony is also good, but it is far from excellent."

"Their fundamentals are good, and even in Aalto, they can become qualified musicians, unlike most bards who have developed a habit and can't change it if they want to.

At the end of the humble concert, which lasted less than an hour, Piora received a round of applause for the free of charge and because of the Aalto's genuine love for music, which made them so encouraged and excited that they all walked off the stage to share their music with the audience.

Piora went straight to Lucian, a young man with an extraordinary temperament: "Sir, what do you think of our Fantasia in C minor?"

"Yes, but I think there are still some flaws in the development of the musical logic, the articulation, and the density of the notes," Lucien said earnestly.

"Ahh The rest of the audience quickly left after talking about their auditory feelings, so Leslie, Grace, and others all gathered, watched with a little surprise as the two exchanged professional skills, and then joined in.

"Thank you, sir, we have received valuable advice."

Grace saw that Lucien was about to leave and quickly thanked him.

Lucien smiled gently, "This is a ticket to the concert, I have to leave, I wish you all a nice stay in Aalto." ” "Thank you for your blessings, we will definitely be happy, because the Aalto Festival is about to start in a few days, in addition to the concerts that can be listened to before midnight in each concert hall, the concert in the Chant Hall has also been announced today, and the first day will start at 8 o'clock in the evening for a concert of Masses and hymns, and many famous musicians will give their religious works."

Piola was very excited at this, "The night of the fourth was the symphony of the venerable Mr.

Christopher, and the night of the fifth was the first concert of the talented musician Mr.

Lucien Evans. ” Lucien was slightly puzzled: "It's already arranged" "Of course, one represents the past and the present, and the other represents the present and the future, and the arrangement is really interesting."

The silver-haired sharon of violinist was equally excited and excited, "We have no regrets about being able to hear Mr.

Christopher and Mr.

Evans in concert with our own ears, and we have no regrets about spending a full seven months from the sea to Aalto." ” During the Aalto Festival, concerts in the Chant Hall will be performed simultaneously in the Municipal Square via a special magic array for ordinary people who have not been able to get tickets.

"Seven months, by the sea," said Lucian, who spoke to them about the dangers and sights of the journey, did not take his part, contentedly, until it was nearly two o'clock.

Watching Lucien's back disappear at the gate, Grace sighed very much: "I didn't expect to find a random gentleman on the streets of Aalto to have such a high level of musical literacy, worthy of being the capital of music." ” "Oops, we were so rude that we didn't ask for this gentleman's name."

Piora patted her forehead in annoyance.

After greeting Elena at the Musicians' Guild, Lucien went to his exclusive lounge to prepare for the afternoon practice with the band.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and Lucien opened the door, unexpectedly seeing Natasha and Camille.

"Lucien, you have been careful lately, don't go out at night, the Silver Horn is showing signs of activity again in many small towns on the edge of the principality."

Natasha closed the door and admonished Lucien in a serious manner.
