Chapter 97 New Year's Concert

Gentlemen and ladies passed by Lord Pedro, and occasionally one or two acquaintances hurriedly greeted him, and then rushed to the Symphony Hall.

Pedro stood with his hands behind his back, casually slipped from one booth to another, and finally bowed slightly, looking at the newly pasted red note.

Manuscript bid, 150 pounds, signed Mrs. Isses Purshore.

"There always seems to be someone else who will notice."

As early as the first ten days of the year, he noticed the extraordinaryness of this string quartet.

On the basis of perfectly inheriting the beauty of the original style of logic, it has stronger personal emotions. The combination of title intention and music content can be regarded as one of the best in romantic techniques!
To his surprise, the title and dedication of this work has already been determined: Lord Paul McAdam!
Is this because the Marquis has extraordinary vision, or is the composer clinging to high branches?Is there any money transaction in this?

Pedro came here almost every day, but out of caution, he did not leave a 50-pound manuscript to bid until three days ago.

But now... the schedule is only halfway through, and this Mrs. Isses Pushore directly mentioned her three times the price. Isn't this clear that it will attract more people's attention?
Even if she is also one of the few people with unique vision, this kind of meaningless competition in advance is not good for anyone!

"Is there something wrong with this person's brain?" Pedro was secretly unhappy.

"Show me the latest "Tioleen Culture Weekly" last night." He thought for a while, then waved his hand suddenly, and said so after waiting for his attendants to approach.

This is an authoritative media sponsored by the Culture and Media Committee of the Central Council of the Empire. In recent years, it has gradually broken away from the appearance of a newspaper and turned into a beautifully designed book. It may soon be renamed "Cultural Weekly".

"Wait a moment, my lord."

Tens of seconds later, Pedro read the report he wanted on the local page of the newspaper.

In recent issues, this column has been reporting the dynamics of the selection of works by the University of St. Lenia. For the first time, it interviewed school leaders and alumni of well-known composers. Piano Sonata No. [-] in B-flat Major” and Cecil’s “Piano Trio in B-flat Major” and Maugham’s “Violin Sonata” were recommended by the newspaper this time.

After reading this, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Seeing that Carlone Van Ning's works have never been recommended, the baron is relieved.

Speaking of which, I even discovered yesterday that a certain niche media teased and ridiculed the last three composers in order to attract attention.In contrast, this guy's work has been hovering in the 5th-6th place, which belongs to the kind that has the least sense of existence.

"Sir, are you interested in this work?" A gentle and young voice rang in Pedro's ear.

Oops...I've been here for too long...My lord is secretly thinking something is wrong.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a man and a woman next to him. The gentleman was thin and his black top hat was pulled down a bit.

"Its title is too bluffing." Pedro did not turn around, and made a look of carefully reading and evaluating, "but the framework is still confined to the form of authenticism. Heavier seems a bit sensational... In fact, these college students should calm down first and thoroughly digest the classical techniques before seeking advanced..."

His eyes stayed on each movement on the sheet music for a long time, and he kept commenting and shaking his head, looking rather regretful.

"You have rich cultivation and unique vision." After the young voice finished speaking, the footsteps got farther and farther away from him.

"Unique vision?... Is this person praising me or mocking me? Is he seeing my clumsiness or mocking my random evaluation... Forget it or don't get yourself involved, he is only on the first floor..."

Seeing the backs of the two people in the distance, Pedro said to the side after thinking for a while: "I will update the manuscript bidding.".

He asked the waiter to tear off a yellow note, stamp it with 180 pounds, and then signed in the corner to confirm.

Little is better than nothing psychologically, bidding from 150 pounds to 180 pounds may dilute the impression of a 50 to 150 pound jump in the minds of spectators.

"Good things must not be shared." This is the investment business practice that is regarded as the motto by the baron.

After the sticky note was pasted and covered, Pedro looked towards the far end of the corridor. The two of them had just stepped out of the gate of the exhibition hall when the lady turned her head, as if she was a young and beautiful girl.

"Caron, I don't understand."

"What don't you understand?"

"Why do some people say that they don't like it, but their body is so honest?" Sheeran curled her lips in doubt, and then quickly caught up with Fanning after looking back again, "Your vote ranking is still in the middle, why are Lu and Roy Still haven't offered support?"

"I hope to leave more time for the audience to think without being influenced by others," Fanning said.

"If the music industry in the Empire was like this, maybe Dad would not have been so neglected during his lifetime...Speaking of which, recently, four publishers wanted to test the waters and cooperate to sell your Op.1 three ditties. Why did you choose Pushore in the end? Publishing house? Because of older qualifications? More specialized fields? Cooperate with schools on photocopying? Or are they more friendly to new composers?"

"Their share is the most." Fan Ning looked down at the ticket, "Seats 8 and 15 in row 17 on the odd numbered side on the first floor, let's go."

Sheeran continued to ask: "Last time at the music salon, they gave you a lot of free tickets. Why didn't you go to those concerts and bought something else out of your own pocket? It's so expensive. This seat costs just one ticket." 12 pounds."

"There are a lot of performances during the New Year's Eve, and there are more performances that are slightly inferior. It is best to save money when you meet them, but you can't be completely led away by free tickets. I will only spend my time on the most interesting or valuable ones... Tonight Gu Dean Dean's piano solo New Year's concert is also the first stop of his New Year's city tour, which is definitely worth the price."

After the two were seated, the bell rang at eight o'clock in the evening, and Fanning and the audience clapped vigorously to welcome the pianist in a tuxedo.

As the old man adjusted his performance, he glanced down at the playlist in his hand.

A special performance of the works of Kashunich, the music master in the late period of medieval music (New Calendar 430-about 700), a collection of 7 piano pieces "Prelude, Psalm and Fugue".

If the sonata form is the mature sign of the tonic music, then the fugue, especially the four-part fugue, represents the most mature and perfect form of polyphonic music.

The period in which Kashunich lived was similar to the Baroque period of Fanning’s previous life. As a master of polyphonic music, his artistic status was as great as that of J. S. Bach in his previous life, and he was honored as the “father of music in the Western Continent”— —the sacred kingdom of Janus there, the acknowledged birthplace of today's mainstream serious music.

Fanning and Sheeran listened quietly to the performance.

Unlike many high-spirited or elegant pianists, Dean Gould almost curled up on the piano when he played, his eyes fixed on the keyboard, and he muttered words as if echoing. The seemingly simple and concise melody was lost by the old man. Into the staggered movement of voice groups, blooming endless beauty of order and form.

The interpretation of the preludes with different styles fully reflects his deep understanding of various genres in the late Middle Ages, and the perfect control of the timbre in the interlude of the chant, and the relaxation of the breathing, all make people feel that Glenn Legacy of the high interest period.

The internal structure and mysteries of the fugue are dismantled by rationality, and then endowed with different personalities by passion, constructing a majestic and lofty sound building. They sometimes make the tip of the nose sour or even shed tears. The reason is completely beyond ordinary emotions. category.

At the end of the second half, the old man held the piano and bowed deeply to the audience. Fan Ning took the lead in standing up and applauding, and shouted "Bravo!" in Hoffman's language to pay tribute to this great pianist.

Inspiration poured down from the top of the head like icy water, and the applause and cheers of the audience seemed to be suddenly covered with a soundproof cover. Fan Ning, who was standing and applauding, suddenly caught a connection point that he had never thought about before.

fugue...fugue...
