Natasha's purple eyes suddenly lit up when the short, powerful, joyful and smooth serenade in G major played at the beginning. Just these two melodies did not disappoint her curiosity all day long.

And Phyllis let go of her twisted hands unconsciously. As a music student, she has enough discernment to judge whether the opening melody is good or bad. This is the most impressive and full of rhythm among all similar serenades. for a while.

Therefore, her nervousness gradually subsided, and being infected by the subsequent music melody, her whole body became brisk and joyful. Her body shook slightly back and forth according to the melody, and she beat the time with her right hand. Sean can also write masterpieces and classics, he is truly a gifted musician favored by the Lord!"

In the melodious, light, interesting and cheerful melody, every guest was infected with ease and joy, and had the urge to dance, but this was the first performance of a talented musician, so they all restrained themselves, smiled and While listening appreciatively, he watched Lucien walk smoothly on the piano with both hands.

With the rhythmic movement of his slender fingers, pure and melodious notes seem to jump out one by one, and his body, arms, fingers and music are harmoniously integrated.

Not just the music, but Lucien's playing itself seems to have an indescribable beauty and temperament.

"I didn't expect that playing the piano would give people such a feeling. It is full of elegance and nobility, full of charm." Seeing this scene of piano solo, I don't know how many noble children and musicians have the idea of learning piano. , the new piano playing technique is an art in itself!

The eyes of many noble girls were bright and their moods were shaken.

The bright and lively opening melody is repeatedly presented in the light dance melody, which strengthens the joyful and bright atmosphere, and against it, the dance melody shows the flavor of the piano different from other instruments, and every note is full of texture. Round and pure.

In such a wonderful and joyful music atmosphere, time passed quickly. A few minutes later, Lucien pressed the last note, retracted his right hand diagonally upwards smartly, and ended the piano piece. chest, to Natasha, to Phyllis, and to the other guests.

The applause rang out like a tide. At banquet occasions, this kind of bright, joyful and classic music is undoubtedly warmly welcomed.

"Elegant, gorgeous, balanced, Lucien, you have shown your genius and spirituality to the extreme, this is a flawless work." Natasha smiled with satisfaction and praised Lucien, as Violet's future Grand Duke, she is very "sure" that Alto's musicians are the best in the whole continent, and will not be surpassed by musicians from any country, no matter what form of music, "I look forward to Lucien, you will be the best in the next few days." The first movement is completed, and when the time comes, I think it will definitely become a masterpiece handed down in the serenade."

She once again gave Lucien a very high evaluation, but did not point out the unavoidable flaws of Serenade, that is, there is not much thought and connotation.

Phyllis's face flushed, matching her slightly red and swollen eyes from crying, she looked very excited: "Lucien, thank you for your birthday gift, I think my coming-of-age ceremony will be remembered in the history of music because of this serenade."

"Happy birthday, Phyllis." After the hug, Lucien returned to the circle of musicians.

Christopher showed a smile of cherishing the younger generation: "You have not failed our curiosity, Lucien, although it is only a piano piece, it has already made us feel the pure beauty of the music. It is a serenade of a similar style. One of the most beautiful and touching pieces I've ever heard. I think when you're done, it'll be classy enough to be elegantly staged in a concert, hey, though serious enough that it loses its fun. "

"No one can deny your genius, Lucien."

Sylvia was very satisfied with Lucien's serenade, with a pure and sincere smile, and when Lucien played the piano just now, the coordinated and rhythmic performance of his body, arms, and fingers made her really excited about the piano. An absolutely elegant instrument, no matter the music or the performance itself, has a special charm, which is completely comparable to the "Queen of Musical Instruments" violin, and in terms of expressiveness of delicate sound quality, due to the ingenious use of pedals, it is no worse than the harpsichord .

As Lucien's teacher, Victor smiled humorously: "I think it will not only become the most indispensable accompaniment in all banquets, but also the most frequently heard melody in pubs and streets. Your 'destiny' spreads wider."

Compared with the difficult content and ideological content of the symphony, the cheerful, bright and enthusiastic style of the serenade is undoubtedly more popular among common people and adventurers. Victor, who has been to the tavern to collect music, knows this very well, "And Lucien, you boldly use This is what I admire most about you, after all, your future is not a serenade."

At the end, Victor still subtly persuaded Lucien, there is a gifted student, if the teacher is not a narrow-minded person, he will definitely not be able to help but worry about whether his student is going the wrong way, whether he is arrogant, whether he is arrogant or not. Deviated from the elegant music palace, in his opinion, symphonies, concertos, sonatas and operas are the objects that Lucien should concentrate on. Of course, it is understandable to use other forms of music to practice during the learning stage.

"I will remember, Mr. Victor." Feeling Victor's implicit and deep concern, Lucien's emotions were a bit complicated. In addition to the warm feeling, it was finally confirmed that Rhine knew the news from the headquarters of the Magic Parliament. With the goal of striving hard, perhaps after a successful concert, he will embark on a new journey, and he will definitely stay away from music in the future, which really does not live up to Victor's ardent expectations.

Although it is a piano piece, it is gorgeous, delicate, and beautiful to a level that many symphonies cannot achieve. It is the pinnacle of music that simply shows the beauty of music. Depravity, or disappointment and chagrin to the extreme, because there is no way to pick out its flaws.

McCants' expression was a little distorted, and he took a hard look at Julian who was deeply shocked, then he seemed to remember something, stood up, pointed at Lucien and said, "Your performance just now doesn't look like you are just learning the piano. Rookie of the month, you degenerate who dealt with the devil."

All the musicians and nearby nobles turned their gazes in surprise. This was the most serious kind of accusation, an accusation that completely killed Lucien.

"McCants, pay attention to your words, this piano piece was composed by Lucien himself, and after several weeks of practice, even if he has not fully mastered the piano skills, he can play this piece proficiently. "Victor, of course, stood up for his students.

But Lott and Herodotus were silent and did not speak. Even if they were nobles, they would not dare to justify Lucien's accusation of being involved with the devil. What if it was true? That would be to use one's own life to defend Lucien.

McCants just had a burst of inspiration just now, but the more he thought about it after the accusation, he looked into Lucien's eyes proudly and sternly: "Mr. Victor, your explanation is not acceptable, if Lucien's performance just now is just average , that is indeed in line with proficiency after repeated practice, but his playing is elegant, gorgeous and smooth, which is the level of a qualified performer. I would like to ask ladies and gentlemen, is it possible? Only a few months of study can achieve Is it to this extent? The creative talent can be said to be a gift from the Lord, and it is born with it, but the performance is practiced over time. Lucien, you have betrayed the favor of the Lord."

The more he talked, the more complacent he was, and he had already begun to pronounce Lucien's crimes.

When he said this, the others thought back just now and found that it was indeed the case. Lucien's performance was confident, elegant, full of charm, expressive and infectious, and he was ready to hold a concert, so they looked puzzled, scared, and worried. They were all concentrated on Lucien, let's see what reason he used to justify.

However, it was not Lucien who spoke, but Sylvia who had been looking at McCants with a quiet smile, her slightly hoarse sexy voice was with a faint smile: "McCants, you'd better listen to other people's judgments .”

Lucien was slightly taken aback, it seemed that Natasha would tell her everything.

"Ms. Sylvia, you see everyone has noticed Lucien's hypocrisy, insidiousness, and cunning." McCants didn't dare to offend Sylvia, and stretched his hands to the sides to let her see other people's attitudes.

Victor took a deep breath and wanted to defend Lucien. If this kind of thing was involved, Lucien would be burned at the stake.

But at this time, a mature and lazy voice came: "I can testify that Lucien's playing skills are due to other reasons, and have nothing to do with any evil."

McCants didn't expect anyone other than Victor to defend Lucien, and turned his head angrily, only to see Natasha standing behind him with a half-smile: "Princess, Your Highness, you testify for him? "

The keen sense of the fifth-level great knight made Natasha notice what was going on here, and walked over with Phyllis.

"Of course, the two cardinals can also testify for Lucien." Natasha pointed at Lucien, "Geniuses are always given preferential treatment, and there are always many rewards, are you right, McCants? ?”

McCants blushed, but quickly darkened again, and forced a smile: "Your Highness is your witness, so I must be thinking too much."

Barely said a few words, McCants excused that he was not feeling well and left in advance, Barre and Clement were a little unconfident by Lucien's "piano piece created in a month", and they also left, ready to play in Alto After a few days, I returned to Tria with a view worth showing off.

Only after Julian was very depressed for a while, he regained his spirits and said to Christopher: "Dear Chairman Christopher, I want to stay in the Alto Musicians Association to study for a few years, because I find that I still have There are many flaws, especially in the symphony, and Aalto's musical background and atmosphere are unmatched by other places."

"We welcome other musicians very much. Only fresh blood can keep Alto's music moving forward." Christopher did not refuse.

After getting the consent, Julian picked up a glass of wine and raised it to Lucien: "I have to admit that your serenade is better than mine. I will learn from you and try to catch up with you."

"I hope you succeed." Lucien raised his white water.

As the dance music sounded, a group of well-dressed noble girls appeared in front of Lucien, and all kinds of scents filled his nostrils.

"Mr. Evans, I want to learn piano, can you teach me the basics of piano while dancing?"

"Lucien, the way you play the piano is full of charm. I like it very much. I want to ask you to dance."

"Mr. Evans, look at my hands, are they suitable for learning the piano?"

In the chaotic voice, the corners of Lucien's mouth twitched a few times, shouldn't men invite women to dance

Fortunately, Phyllis came over with a smile at this time, relieved Lucien, and danced a regular minuet with him.

After the dance, Lucien took the wine glass to the balcony to avoid the wind.
