Aalto Musicians Association, inside Victor's office.
Victor, who calmed down from the excitement of returning from a long absence, and Lucian chatted about the customs and folk music of various parts of the mainland, and the atmosphere was harmonious and joyful.
"Very good, very good, Lucien, you have gained a lot from this trip."
After the exchange, Victor did not hesitate to praise and delight, because it was obvious that Lucien had good insights and absorption of folk music.
Because Victor himself has toured the continent and given concerts, Lucien describes his trip as arriving at the Storm Strait from the south-central part of the continent, and then having a certain idea of the folk music of the region, he returns the same way and settles down to study for a long time.
Lucien didn't lie that he had come back from the southern part of the continent or the northern part of the Holy Hylts Empire, the ancient kingdom of Syracuse, etc., which would have been easily seen by Victor.
Lucien didn't have any inhibitions in front of his teacher, nodded and smiled: "In fact, folk music in many places is very good, with its own unique style, which is worth absorbing into our music creation." ” "That's what we call part of the accumulation of music, not going out and walking, seeing, listening, always staying in Aalto, it's easy to get rigid and repetitive.
Of course, the precipitation and burst of emotions is another important part of music accumulation.
Victor expounded his concept, he had nothing to hide from Lucian, and taught selflessly, "And Lucian's problems on your musical basis have all been made up, which shows your diligence and persistence in the past three years." ” Three years ago, no matter how good Lucian's memory was and how strong his physical coordination was, it was difficult for him to master the musical foundation perfectly in less than a year, and he could only act like a talented musician.
In ordinary communication, Lucian has no problem talking to ordinary musicians and musicians, but when he meets musicians of Christopher and Victor, it is inevitable that there will be omissions.
Fortunately, they were all generous elders, and they also knew that Lucien had indeed studied music for a long time, so they did not reproach it, and casually pointed it out and corrected it.
During the journey, in Alinge's life, in addition to the study and research of arcane and magic, Lucien spent at most half a day a week instructing his apprentices, and the rest of the time used music to entertain and relax himself.
This is not uncommon among magicians, although concentration is the first condition for success, but the study and study of magic sometimes need to endure boredom, and sometimes it is easy to immerse yourself in it, and it is impossible to return to the "real world", if there is no other hobby to reconcile, it is possible to have a mental breakdown and be different from ordinary people, so most arcanists have different ways of relaxing, such as "The Hand of Annihilation" is an excellent oil painter, an excellent playboy.
Just as Lucien was about to answer, a polite knock came at the door, light and rhythmic, without haste.
As a student, Lucien stood up, walked to the door, and pulled the door open.
"President Christopher" Lucien was surprised to see that the person who appeared by the door was actually a "living musical legend".
Christopher, who was obviously much older and wrinkled, still shaved his beard as he had done when he was younger, smiled kindly, "Lucian, welcome back." ” "Mr.
President, why are you here?"
Lucien still used the familiar name, even though the real president was Othello now.
Christopher laughed and said, "I waited for you, a young man, to come and visit me, but I didn't see you come after waiting for a long time, so I had to find it myself."
I'm curious about what you've seen and heard and what new music you have learned. ” Christopher seems to be a little more lively and humorous than he has been in for three years, and has a feeling that he is getting older and younger.
"I'm going to visit you after talking to Mr.
Victor," Lucien said with a little embarrassment.
Christopher smiled wittily: "Just kidding, I'm actually here to invite you and Victor to a small concert by a young man.
He hails from the southern part of the Gusta Empire, a good boy who has suffered a lot but has not given up on music, and has gone through a lot of things to finally get to Aalto.
I happened to hear him playing on the street during the festival, and I thought it was interesting, so I invited him to the recital hall of the association for a small concert, so that we could enjoy his work in its entirety. ” "On the street" Victor saw that it was Christopher, and also walked to the door, asking questions.
If there is a talent in street performance that can be appreciated by Mr.
Christopher, then this young musician will certainly not be overshadowed by the many street performers and bards, and his fame should have reached his ears, but why he has never heard of it Christopher nodded seriously: "He has no money, he can't rent a place to play a symphony, he can only sing songs with piano accompaniment."
His songs were very popular at festivals, but most of the gentlemen of the association had a subconscious rejection of non-operatic, non-chanting songs, which they considered vulgar, simple, and unworthy of attention.
By the way, his name is Franz. ” "I trust your judgment, Mr.
President, is the mini-concert about to start?"
asked Victor with a smile.
Christopher pointed upwards: "Yes, let's go, ladies and gentlemen are waiting for us." ” Lucien and Victor were on either side of Christopher, walking, and he suddenly laughed and said: "Lucian, I heard Franz say that he admires you very much, and your music gives him strength, otherwise he would not be able to stick to the path of music." ” "Uh," Lucien asked, a little puzzled.
Franz's father was an ordinary citizen, working at the bottom of a trading house.
Originally, his family did not have the money to expose him to music, but he had a strong voice at a young age and was selected into the church choir, where he learned the basics of vocal music and simple composition theory.
Later, he was reluctant to become a eunuch singer and left the choir.
At that time, he was already deeply in love with music, and began to frantically absorb all musical knowledge from libraries, musicians' associations, etc., and draw wealth from local folk songs and verses. ” Christopher briefly introduced Franz, "Unfortunately, his creations were not loved by the aristocracy and the public, and with the death of his father, he became impoverished and had to do other jobs to make ends meet."
He worked as a dock wright, a warehouse keeper, a bartender, and a bard, but all while continuing to study and write music and poetry, and before the age of twenty-two, he was in poor physical and mental condition. ” Just when he couldn't hold it anymore and wanted to give up the music, the symphony of fate spread to the southern port of the Gusta Empire, allowing him to regain his strength and hold on.
Gradually, his songs became famous and his income became rich, but he gave it all up 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 perseverance and not giving up, my heart warms. ” "I'm happy to be able to inspire him and give him strength."
Lucien said from the bottom of his heart, this can offset a little of his guilt.
Accompanied by Christopher's butler, the three of them quickly walked to the recital hall on the fifth floor.
In the hall, many musicians, musicians, and music students who had received the news came curiously to hear why this unknown stranger had been able to get Mr.
Christopher to invite him to a small concert at the Society.
They filled most of the recital hall, but the first row was empty, because by default they were reserved for the most famous and authoritative musicians.

"Mr.
President."
"Mr.
Victor."
"Mr.
Evans."
As Christopher, Victor, and Lucien rushed in, they all stood up to greet them, and then watched them sit in the first row.
No one raised any doubts about this, and they all took it for granted.
Not long after Lucien and the others arrived, the small concert began, and Franz wore a black night gown and looked a little excited on stage, bowing to the audience frequently.
He was about twenty-four or five years old, his face was thin, his appearance was not outstanding, his black hair was curled into a ball of "balls", which was very messy, but his expression was unusually solemn and serious, as if he was in a church.
When he saw clearly that in addition to the familiar Maestro Christopher and Mr.
Victor, there was also a strange handsome young man sitting in the first row, Franz was slightly stunned, who was so young that he was qualified to sit with the master and top musicians Soon, he came back to his senses, his hands trembled, his expression was very excited, and after a few hard breaths, he calmed down and sat down next to the piano.
At the same time, a gelding singer who played and sang with him also stood in the center of the stage.
Piano melodies resounded in the recital hall like flowing water, and poetic lyrics were sung from the mouth of the eunuch singer.
The form of the song is small and diverse, the structure is rigorous, and it changes with different sections, and on the basis of retaining the simple and deep feelings, it is separated from the folk songs and bards, and perfectly blended with the piano music.
The clear and beautiful song makes the listener slowly nod along with the melody, and such a song seems to have a certain artistic surname.
Songs that were hot, unrestrained, lyrical, narrative, sad, or lonely made the whole hall quiet, and no musician ever imagined that folk songs, bard songs, could shine so elegantly in Franz's hands.
When the first half of the concert ended, Franz stood on stage again, a little apprehensive, ready to be commented on by the musicians.
This is characteristic of small audition concerts, showing one's talent in front of many professionals in order to get an evaluation.
Christopher smiled: "Evans has just returned from abroad, and he is considered half a guest, so let him talk about it first." ” Sure enough, it was Mr.
Evans, Franz clasped his hands, and waited more and more nervously for Lucien to speak.
Lucien was modest, and seeing Christopher's insistence, he groaned for a moment and smiled: "Such music and songs introduce us to a whole new world, making us forget the form of ordinary songs in the past. ” This is an extremely high evaluation, this is an affirmation from the object of worship, Franz couldn't help but wave his right hand, there was a crazy emotion in his heart, and the corners of his eyes became slightly moist.
Lucien continued, "You have fully explored the art form of song and opened up a new path for us.
I have some ideas for turning long poems into songs, and I hope to have a good exchange 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 your symphony of destiny shook me when I was sad and desperate, when I stopped my musical path as if I was going to end my life, when I stood at the door of the concert hall and said my final goodbyes, when my world was dark and there was no light," Franz said a little choked up but spoke very quickly.
