The first piece has ended and the second piece is about to begin.
Private room 213 upstairs.
Tang An was confused.
In the so-called upper class, some people really know how to appreciate music, while some people listen to music purely to show off their taste. Tang An belongs to the third type. He neither understands music nor likes to pretend that he knows a lot. The reason he is willing to come here today is simply to accompany his elders at home.
However, what Tang An did not expect was:
The first piece of music at the concert was of a style that I had absolutely no interest in listening to in the past, but today it turned out to be particularly pleasing to the ears, and I was fascinated by it without realizing it, as if my will was controlled by a mysterious force, and I was completely immersed in the music!
"That's strange..."
Tang An came to his senses only after the song ended.
Tang An couldn't help but start to doubt whether he didn't get enough rest last night, so he was in a trance. He clearly had no interest in music before.
Just at this moment.
The stage lights changed.
The second piece began.
The title of the work appeared on the big screen: "Croatian Rhapsody".
There is no "Croatia" in the Blue Star.
But it doesn’t matter. In the future, Chu Kuang will use novels to introduce everything on Earth to the people of Blue Star.
Xianyu is still sitting at the piano.
Sudden.
The cellist on the stage began to play the strings, with a slightly sad and eerie atmosphere.
In the private room.
Tang An suddenly felt dizzy.
The next moment.
Tang An found himself in a ruined battlefield. The sky was gloomy and full of dark clouds. The smoke of gunpowder that had not yet dissipated was lingering in the air. The collapsed walls left messy rubble all over the ground. Dust was floating in the air until dust returned to dust.
Sad.
sorrow and grief.
The music was still playing in his ears, and an inexplicable sense of oppression enveloped Tang An's heart. This sense of reality was even stronger than the previous song—
Tang An has always called himself "tone-deaf".
Not only is he tone-deaf when singing, he also has no emotion at all when listening to the so-called world-class masterpieces recommended by his elders at home, and only feels that they are noisy.
However.
In today's concert, Tang An understood both the previous and this song!
I understand everything!
I totally understand!
Tang An suddenly felt indescribably excited and moved. It turned out that the elders in his family were right. Good music can really move people's hearts!
How real this world is after the flames of war!
This kind of sad emotion, even if you just listen to it simply, you will feel as if you are there!
wrong.
Not sad.
Or more than just sadness.
Tang An suddenly saw an unknown white flower blooming among the ruins in the distance.
The vitality and beauty of life form a sharp contrast with the dilapidated surroundings.
Yes.
The sky was still gloomy, the clouds were still gloomy gray, and the wind was howling, but the little white flower was just swaying slightly in the wind.
The music gets exciting!
It turns out that the cello not only means gloomy and depressing sadness, but also reveals a low and majestic feeling!
at the same time.
With the cello playing in the background, the piano's rhythmic triplets surge like waves!
It is eagerness and pursuit;
It is anger and resistance;
It's confidence and enthusiasm!
The violin appears, connecting the symphony.
The whole movement is natural and complete, full of emotion, and full of power!
Tang An's heart was excited. He seemed to see the unknown little white flowers going through the vicissitudes of life, and seemed to see a new and beautiful home rising up on this land.
This is epic beat!
Beautiful yet passionate, cheerful yet magnificent, able to get out of trouble even after setbacks, it is a force that can always inspire you to move forward!
This moment.
This piece of music is more than just music!
Tang An felt that his eardrum was clearly shaken in multiple dimensions!
This full three-dimensional sense allowed him to feel and savor it from multiple levels. Tang An remembered a movie he had watched called "Kung Fu", in which there was a line like this.
"A song that breaks my heart. Where can I find a soulmate in this world?"
Now Tang An wants to say that he and Xianyu must be soulmates!
Because of his music, Tang An experienced the power of music for the first time in his life!
…
Lin Yuan naturally had no idea about other people's feelings, as he was immersed in the performance at the moment.
Against the background of string music, the gradually stronger piano tone plays a sad melody.
In the fast-paced music, despair, helplessness and sadness seep out little by little.
but.
Even though it is so hopeless, the weeping melody, while weeping for the despair in front of it, seems to also be appealing for a vague hope.
No matter how desperate the moment, never give up hope.
Even that hope is just like a delicate white flower swaying in the endless and intense flames of war.
finally.
The performance of "Croatian Rhapsody" has ended.
Sitting next to Yang Zhongming, Abigail stared at Lin Yuan on the stage, listening intently, but his expression became more and more serious. It was not until the end of the performance that he said with a hint of regret:
“It’s a combination of classic and modern.”
Xianyu can always grasp the connotation and popularity of his works to the greatest extent.
“Very spiritual.”
Zheng Jing also spoke up, "Together with the previous "Nightingale", after the concert, these two songs will probably be very popular."
“Just these two?”
Yang Zhongming narrowed his eyes: "Tonight's concert has just begun."
"Yes, this is just the beginning. Have you noticed that Xianyu's piano skills have clearly reached the level of a top piano master? But this is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that the feeling just now appeared again, as if making people completely enter the wonderful world of music..."
No matter how good a painter is, he cannot understand the meaning of the soul of painting.
Same principle.
No matter how talented a composer is, he or she cannot explain the feeling of being in the music scene. They can only express their deepest emotion and admiration for this miracle of music.
“I’m already looking forward to the third one.”
The third song.
Lin Yuan did not keep the audience waiting too long.
But before the third song began, Lin Yuan spoke again:
"You should all know the form of polyphonic music. The following piece is a form of polyphonic music. You will hear the melody of one part chasing the other part from beginning to end, until the last bar, the last chord, and they are completely integrated. I call this interesting form a canon..."
Yes.
Canon is not the name of a piece of music, but a way of composing music.
For example, the familiar song "Two Tigers" is composed using the Canon style.
Each cycle consists of eight beats.
It feels a bit like an infinite loop.
This is the reason why Canon was used as mobile phone music in the TV series "The Beginning", because each loop is a similar experience, but there are some uncertain variables.
As for why everyone thinks Canon is the name of a piece of work...
Because that piece is so famous.
That’s right, it is the most famous Canon, “Canon in D Major”.
It is so famous that when you search for Canon, this song is basically the one that comes up.
It's like when you search for a symphony, the system only recommends a specific symphony to you.
And the piece Lin Yuan was going to play next happened to be "Canon in D Major".

ps: "The Nightingale", "Croatian Rhapsody" and "Canon in D Major" are all singles that I have played on repeat.
