Old-time musicians

Gentlemen and ladies kept passing 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 and casually slipped from one booth to another. Finally, he bowed slightly and looked at the newly posted red note.

Manuscript bid, 150 pounds, signed Mrs. Ises Pushall.

"It seems like there's always someone else who notices."

He noticed the extraordinary features of this string quartet as early as early in the decade.

On the basis of perfectly inheriting the beauty of authentic logic, it has more intense personal emotions, and the combination of title intention and musical content can be regarded as one of the best in romantic techniques!

What made him a little surprised was that the dedicator of this work had already been determined: Marquis Paul McAdam!

Is this because the Marquis has extraordinary vision, or is it because the composer is clinging to a high branch? Is there any money transaction involved?

Pedro has been here almost every day for a while, but out of caution, he didn't leave a 50-pound manuscript bid until three days ago.

But now... the time progress is almost halfway, and this Mrs. Ises Pushall directly mentioned her three times the price. Isn't this clear and will attract more people's attention?

Even if she is one of the few with unique vision, this kind of meaningless early competition will not benefit anyone!

"Is there something wrong with this man's mind?" Pedro felt secretly unhappy.

"Show me the latest "Tioline Cultural Weekly" last night." He thought for a while, suddenly waved, and said this after the attendant approached.

This is an authoritative media sponsored by the Culture and Media Committee of the Imperial Central Council. 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."

A few dozen seconds later, Pedro read the report he wanted in the local section of the newspaper.

In recent issues, this column has been reporting on the dynamics of the selection of works by the University of San Lenia. The first time it interviewed school leaders and famous composer alumni, and the second time it praised the piano genius Merici's "A University". "Piano Sonata No. 5 in 2008", Cecil's "Piano Trio in B flat major" and Maugham's "Violin Sonata" were recommended by the newspaper this time.

After reading this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Carolne Van Ning's works were never recommended, Lord Baron was relieved.

Speaking of which, I even discovered yesterday that a certain niche media was ridiculing and ridiculing the bottom three composers in order to attract attention. In comparison, this guy's works have been hovering around the 5th-6th place, and they are the ones with the least sense of existence.

"Sir, are you interested in this work?" A gentle young voice sounded in Pedro's ears.

Oops... I stayed here for too long... Your Lordship secretly thinks something is wrong.

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

"The title is too deceptive." Pedro did not turn around, pretending to read it carefully and evaluate it seriously, "but the framework is still limited to the authentic form. Although it tried richer romantic harmonies, it was still full of student atmosphere. The heavier weight seems a bit sensational... In fact, these college students should calm down first and thoroughly digest the classical techniques before seeking to advance..."

His eyes stayed on each movement of the score for a long time, and he kept commenting and shaking his head, looking quite regretful.

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

"A unique vision?...Is this person praising me or ridiculing me? Does he see my hidden clumsiness or is he mocking my random comments...Forget it, it's better not to get yourself involved, he is only on the first level..."

Seeing the two people's backs in the distance, Pedro thought for a moment and then said to the side: "I will update the manuscript bidding.".

He asked the waiter to tear off a piece of yellow paper, stamp it with the stamp of 180 pounds, and then signed his signature in the corner to confirm.

The better-than-nothing psychological tactic of bidding from 150 pounds to 180 pounds may dilute the impression of a jump of 50 to 150 pounds in the minds of spectators.

"Good things must not be shared." This is the investment and business philosophy that the Baron regards as his motto.

After the note paper was pasted and covered, Pedro looked towards the far end of the corridor. The two had just stepped out of the exhibition hall door, and the lady looked back, as if she was a young and beautiful girl.

"Caron, I don't quite understand."

"What don't you understand?"

"Why do some people say they don't like it, but are so honest with their bodies?" Sheeran curled her lips in confusion, looked back again and quickly caught up with Fan Ning, "Your vote ranking is still in the middle, why are Lu and Roy Still no support?”

"I hope to leave more time for the audience to think independently of others," Fanning said.

"If the atmosphere in the empire's music industry was like this, maybe Dad wouldn't have been so neglected during his lifetime... Speaking of which, four publishers recently wanted to test the waters of cooperating to sell your 13 ditties. Why did you choose Pushall Publishing House in the end? ? Because they are more senior? Are they more professional in the field? Or are they more friendly to new composers?

"They get the biggest share." Fan Ning looked down at the tickets, "Seats 15 and 17 in row 8 on the odd-numbered side on the first floor. Let's go quickly."

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 buy other tickets out of your own pocket? It's so expensive. This seat costs 12 pounds per ticket."

"There are many good performances in the New Year, and there are more inferior performances. It's best to save money when you come across them, but you can't be completely led by free tickets. I will only spend my time on the most interesting or valuable ones... Dean Gould's piano solo New Year's concert tonight is also the first stop of his New Year's city tour. It is definitely worth the price."

After the two sat down, the clock struck eight in the evening. Fanning and the audience clapped vigorously to welcome the pianist in a tuxedo to enter.

While the old man adjusted his performance, he lowered his head and glanced at the list of repertoire in his hand.

A special performance of the works of the late medieval music master Kashoich (430-about 700 AD), a collection of 7 piano pieces "Preludes, Chant and Fugues"

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

The period in which Kashojnic was, was similar to the Baroque period in 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. He was honored as the "Father of Music of the Western Continent" - the Holy Kingdom of Janus there is the recognized birthplace of mainstream serious music today.

Fanning and Sheeran listened to the performance quietly.

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 his mouth seemed to echo. The seemingly simple and concise melody was thrown into the staggered movement of the voice group by the old man, blooming with endless order and formal beauty.

The interpretation of preludes in different styles fully reflects his profound understanding of various genres in the late Middle Ages, and the perfect control of timbre in the interludes of the hymns and the tension and relaxation between breaths all make people feel the legacy of the Gregorian period.

The internal structure and mystery of the fugue are rationally disassembled, and then given different personalities by passion, constructing a majestic and lofty sound building. They sometimes make people feel sour or even cry, and the reasons are completely beyond the scope of ordinary emotions.

At the end of the second half of the performance, the old man bowed deeply to the audience while holding the piano. Fanning took the lead in standing up and applauding, shouting "Bravo!" in Hoffmann's language, paying tribute to this great pianist.

Inspiration poured down from the top of his head like ice water, and the boiling applause and cheers of the audience seemed to be suddenly covered by a soundproof cover. Fanning, who was standing and applauding, suddenly grasped a connection point that he had never thought about before.

Fugue... Fugue...

The Lord of Witnesses "Endless Fugue"?
