With the help of several canon-style music, Victor explained this basic polyphonic form completely. Among them, Lucien, Phyllis and others asked questions from time to time and got satisfactory answers. Finally, Victor looked at himself with a smile students: "I know you are all working hard and working hard, and you have already started to learn Canon by yourself, so you might as well try to compose a Canon, which will help you understand polyphonic music, chords, and create more complex music. s help."
Seeing that Lot, Phyllis, and Herodotus all showed eager expressions, while Lucien was in deep thought, Victor said in a slightly puzzled way: "Lucien, although you have a very outstanding musical talent, your foundation is not good enough. Well, you can hear it from the symphony of fate you played at the beginning. Writing simple canon melodies will also help you. Don’t think that canon melodies are simple. Sir, this classic Canon in D major is still so wonderful after listening to it nearly a hundred years later.”
For Lucien, Victor was not like Marcus who taught his first true musical disciple and now toured the courts of various countries throughout the continent, allowing him to develop his genius with little interference. In Victor's opinion, Lucien's musical talent is far superior to that of Marcus, comparable to those great musicians. Because of this, as a teacher, he must give appropriate persuasion and protection to prevent him from being arrogant and conceited. It would be a great loss to the music industry to waste and waste one's own talent.
Lucien came back to his senses and explained earnestly: "Mr. Victor, I will not forget the importance of the foundation, and I will seriously try to compose the canon, but just now when I heard you explain Mr. Secher's canon in D major, I suddenly Some inspirations appeared, and I felt that slight changes could be made in the melody, and why not adapt it to a piano piece, playing with this brand new instrument may bring a very different flavor from the original cello and violin ensemble.”
"The melodies of the canons are very short, and they rely on continuous repetition to bring a beautiful feeling. The same is true for Mr. Seher's canons in D major. There are only a few two-bar melodies in total, and it is very difficult to make small changes. "Victor first expressed his concern, and then affirmed and encouraged Lucien's thoughts, "Of course, the canon in D major has been adapted for organ performance, and also for flute. If it is adapted into a piano piece, it may be a brand-new musical enjoyment."
Lucien smiled: "Mr. Victor, don't worry, I just learned this musical form by composing and adapting Canon, and I won't change it blindly. You can tell the beauty of the music just by listening to it."
"Then we look forward to hearing Canon Piano in D major." Seeing Victor nodding, Phyllis and Lott both smiled and said to Lucien.
After the music class, when she went to the piano room to practice the instrument, Phyllis deliberately walked a few steps faster, walked side by side with Lucien, and asked in a low voice: "Lucien, are you going to play at my birthday party next month?" Do you want to play the adapted Canon piano piece in D major?" The corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, as if she was smiling, but also seemed to be looking forward to it.
Due to the simplicity of Canon, she felt that the adaptation should not take long.
Lucien's heart moved, and he returned a grateful smile: "Phyllis, I will never forget the help you have given me. At your birthday party, I will definitely play a brand new piece of music, but it is not an adapted piece." Canon in D major. I will spend this month trying to compose a cheerful serenade for you in a party style.”
"Really?" Phyllis was very pleasantly surprised, she just wanted Lucien to master a few piano pieces, and then play them at the party, with his title of musical genius and princess music consultant, even if it was just a performance of past works , will also greatly satisfy my vanity, but I never thought that Lucien would prepare to write a brand new serenade.
Lucien nodded solemnly and replied: "But it should not be all the complete movements, maybe only some piano pieces composed of melody, texture and harmony."
Piano pieces are short pieces in one movement.
Phyllis wrung her hands together again: "It's such an honor, Lucien, you are such a good person." She was very excited, even if it was a piano piece, but the time was very short, it would be nice to have this.
Get a good card, Lucien teased himself.
But Phyllis quickly became nervous again: "Is one month too short, too hasty? If, if there is a problem with the serenade, it will damage your reputation, Lucien."
Although it is not uncommon to write a serenade-like piano piece in a month, Phyllis still can't help but worry because it concerns herself, because Lucien's praise is too high now. The admiration of fate, the evaluation of Her Majesty the Changemaker, and the praise of Director Othello as "a real and admirable genius" all filled many people with jealousy and dissatisfaction, and they were all waiting for Lucien to make a mistake.
They are like ferocious beasts in the dark night, as long as Lucien's new music does not reach a certain level, and there is a slight flaw, they will immediately swarm up, drowning their prey with saliva, and Phyllis's own birthday party and the other road Sean's hopes will be greatly affected.
In comparison, Phyllis hoped that Lucien would carve slowly, and spend a year or even two years to write a work that was not much worse than fate, so that his position would be completely stable, and he would no longer be a Newly gifted musicians, but true musical authorities.
"A serenade, there should be no problem." Lucien tried to put on the casual and confident tone of all geniuses. And this serenade Lucien has already thought about it. It is a melody that has never appeared in this world. It is the best and most classic among the serenades with a similar cheerful style. often heard.
Of course, in a month's time, Lucien will definitely not be able to take out the complete format of the four movements, and can only use the piano sketch adapted from the first movement instead. With such a prelude, it will be expanded in a short period of time Complete seems to be a matter of course.
Seeing Lucien's attitude, Phyllis opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to persuade her, so she said expectantly and worriedly: "Then I am waiting for an excellent serenade."

For the next month, apart from studying magic at night, analyzing magic, and trying to reverse deduce the ancient Sylvanus Magic Empire text on the "Book of Astrology and Elements" using the witch's notes, Lucien devoted himself to it. The study of music, because it represents his hope to go to the headquarters of the Magic Council.
Relying on his super-strong memory and dedicated study, Lucien finally learned and mastered the basic music knowledge. Until then, Lucien had the feeling that he was a qualified music student.
The adapted Canon in D major and the serenade were almost completed in nearly a month under Lucien's intentional control.
John is still continuing his knight training. Although he really wants to mobilize his blood power as soon as possible to protect his family and guard his homeland, Sir Wayne, who has learned about what happened from Grand Duke Violet, is sternly admonishing him He must not recklessly step into the process of stimulating the blood without a solid foundation. Not only is there little chance of success, but even if he is lucky enough to become a formal knight with the help of auxiliary materials, he will have no hope of breaking through to a great knight in the future. day knight.
Therefore, John, who admired and loved Sir Wayne very much, restrained his impatience. Under his arrangement, most of the time was monotonously training, and a small part of the time went to Melzer Black Forest to fight goblins and kobolds. To hone the will and skills. At the same time, Sir Wayne found an excuse and gave John a sum of money to rent a house near the administrative area and take Joel's family to live there, so as to ensure their safety to the greatest extent.
Although Joel's family had a good time in the garden villa that Lucien rented, it was not their own home after all, and there was an uneasiness that could not be resolved, so it was clear that Lucien, who was restrained by them, did not forcefully stay, sometimes too much Excessive enthusiasm will lead to estrangement.

On the Thursday morning of the last week of the Golden Moon (October), in the piano room of the "War Gallery" palace in Lataxia Palace, Lucien just finished his music discussion with Natasha.
"I think this part of the melody already has the excitement I want." Natasha looked at the scribbled score and showed a sincere and beautiful smile.
She has a solid understanding and mastery of music knowledge and forms such as fugue and canon that Lucien does not know how much, so after hearing the complete format of the theme music and getting inspiration, she soon had a part of the melody, but she was extreme If I want to create exciting music, I have to change the melody again and again. According to this progress, I may not be able to complete this symphony in a year.
Lucien shook his head and smiled: "Actually, the last change was very good, but unfortunately, Your Highness, you are too demanding." Lucien, who has a weak musical background, almost couldn't keep up with Natasha's train of thought during this period of time. Fortunately, I am also learning and improving, and I am only a consultant rather than a teacher. I finally managed to survive and gained a lot.
"Since you want to write a song, you must write your inner feelings. But speaking of passionate works, the most perfect one I have ever heard is Lucien's Symphony of Your Destiny. What do you think?" Nata Sha sorted out the score in a good mood.
Lucien smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise." But he said silently in his heart, "Actually, I think the most exciting is "March of the Volunteers"..."
After exchanging a few words, Natasha saw that Lucien was about to leave, and suddenly smiled curiously: "Tonight is the birthday party for Phyllis of the Hein family, I heard that Lucien, you have prepared a brand new serenade as a gift ?”
This was deliberately leaked by Lucien through Elena, Lott and others, and it seems that it has reached Natasha's ears.
"Of course." Lucien nodded in affirmation.
Natasha, who was wearing a purple court dress, raised her eyebrows and pointed at the piano with interest: "Can I appreciate it first?"
"Sorry, Your Royal Highness, this is a gift for Phyllis, and it can only be played at the birthday party." Lucien refused with a smile without fear.
Natasha walked back and forth a few steps, looking at Lucien with a half-smile: "You know, people will become irritable if their curiosity is not satisfied."
But she quickly frowned again: "But the birthday gift should be like this. Speaking of which, Sylvia's birthday is a few days before the New Year. Should I compose a love serenade for her?"
"It's such an enviable and jealous couple..." Lucien, who had witnessed several scenes of "love" during this period, was not without emotion.
Natasha, who was caught up in this problem, didn't bother with the serenade anymore, and ordered Camille to take a long sword for the ceremony: "This is the knight's long sword that was promised to you, and its name is 'Vigilance'. High-level transcendent items can greatly improve your intuition and make it easier to detect danger."
