"When did this happen?" the woman asked.

"I'm not sure about this, I just know that my grandparents are also spreading this legend.

Hunters at the foot of the Alps often carry some lion-shaped wooden carvings with them to protect themselves from getting good prey. "

The man groped around and took out a small handicraft from his pocket. It was a wooden lion sculpture, somewhat similar to the lion on the statue.

"That's it, a souvenir I bought locally."

Listening to the narration of the people beside him, Xia Ya's eyes were a little thoughtful.

Alicia also recalled, "It seems that when I went to Switzerland, I did meet a hunter who was chased by a bear."

Shaar sighed helplessly, "Can such a trivial matter leave these things behind?"

"It should be because the Orion's son became a high-ranking official." Alicia said.

Shaar shrugged and didn't pay attention to these things.

"Let's go, the concert is probably about to start."

They continued to walk through the streets and along the river bank to the entrance of the Riverside Theater in Vienna, where many upper-class Austrians had already entered at the entrance.

The waiter at the door was strictly checking the invitation card. There happened to be a royal concert tonight, and the king would also be there.

The Vienna Theater is a historical theater in modern times, but in this era it is a grand theater that has just been completed. .

Wien is part of the name of the theatre, and its source is the River Wien that flows next to the theatre.

It has been described as "with the most complete equipment and one of the largest theaters of our time".

It is the world's first-class large-scale opera house, the main symbol of the "Music Capital" Vienna, and is known as the "World Opera Center".

The appearance is antique, and the opera house is a Roman-style magnificent building.Both the front hall and the side hall are made of marble, and the interior is painted with exquisite murals. The auditorium has 6 floors and can accommodate thousands of spectators.

Xia took Alicia and Sissy to find a good place to sit down, and there were already a lot of gorgeously dressed upper-class people sitting around. In the special box above, the king and queen gradually took their seats.

As time passed, the lights gradually dimmed, leaving only a few lights on the stage, under the light of the lights.

A middle-aged man in his 30s wearing a suit came up from the backstage. He wore a wig, held his head high, and was full of energy, but his deep eyes revealed his extraordinary past.

That might be Beethoven.

Char had never met Beethoven, he just knew that he would play in this concert, and he worked in this theater as a composer.

He bowed to the audience, and then sat on the piano chair.

Following the rhythm of the ordinary 88 black and white keys, Shaar finally confirmed that this person should be that Beethoven.

The melodious rhythm echoed throughout the theater. Under his hands, the ordinary keys seemed to be crowned with laurel crowns that no one could match, and they played out his sadness and confidence without any mistakes.

The opening movement has a melodious tone and light fingering. You close your eyes as if you are standing on the shore, the moonlight is spreading on the calm sea, the water meets the sky, and the sea is sleeping under the soft moonlight. in.

At the end of the movement, the music began to change its tone, and entered the second movement, the moonlight remained, but the sea began to have some waves.

The wind is getting stronger, the waves are getting rougher, and the waves are rushing towards the shore, as if the sea is about to wake up from its deep sleep.The moonlight is shining, and the faint moonlight is reflected on the sparkling blue sea, like countless sapphires...
The third movement follows, the moonlight is still calm and soft, but the wind is getting stronger.

The wind was blowing, the sea was rough, and the sea seemed to be galloping and roaring, as if someone had disturbed his lucid dream and was roaring at him.The sea was completely awakened, a strong wind blew on the sea, and huge waves rolled up, which was extremely spectacular.

Char had actually heard this movement before, it should be "Moonlight Sonata".

The first time he came into contact with Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" was in elementary school textbooks.

The textbook described the origin of the sonata's name "Moonlight", which is a legend.

It is said that when Beethoven played the piano for a blind girl, the wind blew out the candle, and the moonlight quietly fell on the keys of the poor hut.

At this time, Beethoven improvised the "Moonlight" sonata.

After learning this lesson, he searched for this sonata to listen to. This is also the second Beethoven piece he heard besides fate.

But he later learned that it is now more common to say that the name of the sonata is due to the German poet Ludwig Lerstab comparing the first movement of the song to "as if on the moonlit lake of Lake Lucerne in Switzerland." Come like a swaying boat".

Beethoven's works were always rooted in the reality in which he lived.

He endured all pains in reality, enjoyed every joy, and expressed them in his works.

From 1796 to 1800, it was the period when Beethoven's ear disease began to affect him more and more deeply. His ears were ringing day and night, it seemed that his internal organs were also being tortured, and his hearing became more and more declining.

He kept silent about his ear disease until 1801, when he confided sadly to his friend Dr. Weggler in a letter:
"The noblest part of me, my hearing, has greatly deteriorated. When we were together, I already felt many symptoms of illness, which I concealed; but it has become worse and worse... Will it be cured? Of course I am. Hope, but very little; there is no cure for such diseases. I must live a miserable life, avoiding all my beloved, especially in this poor, selfish world!"

It is not difficult to see the strong sadness in him in these words, but he needs joy so much that he creates joy when there is no joy.

In this way, in 1801 he fell in love, although he was constantly in love in love, constantly dreaming of happiness, but in the end the happiness was always disillusioned, which made him fall into the torment of pain, but he still fell into it again and again. In love.

"Moonlight Sonata" is his psychological experience of this period of love. He created this work and dedicated it to his love object at that time, Ciriette Kita. However, this beautiful and frivolous noble lady was ruthless in the end. abandoned him.

The timeline of this space-time is different, so the creation time should be different.

It is in this complex painful experience and intense inner conflict, in the expectation and disappointment of love, that this great work was born.

What gurgled out of that piano was not just beautiful notes, but his tears and grief.

Xia saw that the audience was listening intently, even Sissy and Alicia were engrossed, and the audience was silent.

Until the music stopped, the people in the audience never came out of that emotion.

It wasn't until Beethoven stood up and bowed to the people that people suddenly realized that the movement had ended.

When they realized it, they were already sweating profusely, all immersed in that emotion.

Then, there was a clear, thunderous applause from the audience.

"You're right." Alicia turned her head and said in a low voice, "He is indeed an excellent pianist, and he will definitely be famous all over the world in the future."

Shaar smiled. He had heard many versions of the Moonlight Sonata, but only here could he clearly understand why this sonata is so famous.

He had to lament that the reason why the names of these celebrities can be widely circulated in history is indeed because of their incomparably outstanding abilities.

Such music as the beginning of this concert is undoubtedly a success, but it also puts a lot of pressure on the musicians behind. However, there is more than one well-known musician in this concert hall.

So the mood of the whole concert continued well.

With the end of the concert, everyone was a little bit unsatisfied.

Char had actually never heard a serious concert in the past. He didn't expect that the first time he listened to it, the starting point was so big. The opening was Beethoven's personal performance.

It's a pity that Char hadn't been to Vienna before. A few years earlier, Mozart was still alive, so he had the opportunity to hear the performance of the second legendary musician.

But all in all, a good experience.

Shaar turned her head to look at Sissy who was sitting on Alicia's lap. She was leaning against Alicia's arms at the moment, half asleep, half awake, and even bleeding.

Alicia raised her head helplessly and looked at Xia, who showed a soft smile.

It's not that Sissy thought the concert was too boring, at least she was full of energy when she listened to it before.

It's just that the concert was too long, and such a three-year-old child couldn't listen to the whole concert.

As if sensing the end of the concert, Sissy opened her eyes sleepily.

"Huh? Is it over?"

"Yeah, it's already the next morning." Shaar said.

Hearing the sound, Qianqian suddenly woke up, sat up straight suddenly, looked around, and found that the people around were still in their original positions.

She quickly understood that Xia Ya was teasing herself, she glanced at Xia Ya, her mouth puffed up in anger.

But because of that baby face, there is a sense of cuteness when she is angry.

"Is the piano played by the first uncle nice?" Xia Ya said.

Sissy obviously hasn't forgiven Shaar yet, she turned her head angrily.

"Want to meet him?"

Hearing the sound, Sissy turned her head to look at him again. (End of this chapter)
