Chapter 356 Lin Tian won the MVP!!
"Moonlight" is Debussy's "Moonlight".
It is the third movement of Debussy's piano suite "Bergamo Suite", composed in 1890.
Its title comes from the poem of the same name by the French symbolist poet Paul Verlaine. The moonlight described in the poem is "sad and beautiful", reflecting the dancing soul wearing a mask and the illusory emotional world. As one of the most innovative composers from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, Debussy is known as the "father of impressionist music", although he himself rejected this label.
For many people who love classical music.
Debussy is really an interesting musician.
He is so special.
Compared to other famous musical works, such as Beethoven's "Symphony No. 5" and Mozart's "Symphony No. 40", they all use heart-stirring music to tell different stories.
Debussy's music never tells a story.
In his own words, "Music should break away from the constraints of literature and drama and return to sound itself."
What he advocates is returning to the power of "sound" itself.
So, listening to Debussy's music is like appreciating a landscape.
When you are in this landscape, everything you feel and think, all the grand narratives that emerge in your mind, come from your own heart.
Even if you are a learner of Yangming's philosophy of mind.
If your heart is strong enough, you can transform Debussy's music into whatever you want to satisfy your spiritual world.
Just like this song "Moonlight".
This is what Debussy was pursuing: capturing a "momentary impression".
In this piece, the flow of moonlight and the shimmering of water waves are the artistic conception deliberately created by Debussy. He believed that music should express the changes of light and shadow like painting, rather than narrating or expressing emotions.
This is Debussy's ultimate "abstraction".
It is this kind of abstraction.
This Debussy-style "Moonlight" has become extremely ironic on some levels, as it deviates from the topic of "music" itself and moves away from narrative and emotional catharsis.
Especially, for those audiences who are accustomed to wearing masks of hypocrisy.
This song is completely different from Lin Tian's previous works.
It will be Lin Tian’s next winning weapon!
The music is written.
But how to play it?
To make this winning weapon work at 100% or even 300% in the semi-finals.
Gan Yanyu's performance is very important.
First of all, she had to understand the song before anyone else.
With Teacher Gan's ability, there shouldn't be any problem.
Lin Tian thought so.
Before he knew it, the time had turned to 3:14 in the morning. Lin Tian planned to talk about it tomorrow.
He casually placed the music score on the piano, then turned back to bed and went to sleep.
"~"
Lin Tian, who was sleeping, vaguely heard the sound of a piano.
In a daze, Lin Tian frowned.
It seems that I have been really tired recently. Even my dreams are about the cello. Lin Tian turned over and prepared to continue sleeping.
Sudden--
A terrifying chord sounded.
“Ding!!!”
Lin Tian sat up in shock from his dying illness.
What the hell is going on?! Lin Tian put on his shoes and walked out of the bedroom.
On the balcony, dazzling sunlight shone through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows and sprinkled on the packaged dumplings on the table. It seemed that it was already afternoon.
It is located next to the balcony door.
In front of the piano, a girl wearing a thin suspender short-sleeved shirt and denim shorts, revealing her white thighs, was leaning on the piano.
In his hand, he was pulling the cello bow.
The gentle sound of the piano echoed softly.
A gentle breeze blew in from the balcony, brushing across the girl's delicate oval face, gently lifting her hair and blowing it across her nose.
The hair is a little messy, but when it hits the face, it adds a perfect sense of atmosphere.
Lin Tian admitted.
At this moment, he woke up.
As if sensing being gazed at, Gan Yanyu stopped the bow in his hand, turned around and looked at Lin Tian.
"Are you awake?"
"Why are you here?"
"I brought you breakfast. I knocked on the door but you didn't respond. I called you but you didn't answer. I was afraid you were dead, so I came in by myself." Gan Yanyu said a little embarrassedly.
“.”
Hearing such auspicious words so early in the morning, only Gan Yanyu could make Lin Tian hold back from speaking sweet words.
However, Lin Tian did not hate Gan Yanyu's self-assertion.
After all, he had just woken up and came to the living room to see such a beautiful woman with a cello. It was quite refreshing.
There is always an illusion that the two are living together.
"Did you sleep late last night?" Gan Yanyu asked.
She glanced at the music score on the piano that she had not had time to put away, and then looked at the current time - one o'clock in the afternoon.
Guessed it right away.
Lin Tian stayed up late again last night to write music.
Thinking of this,
Gan Yanyu was a little unhappy.
She had clearly agreed with Lin Tian that they should share the work of composing music together and not let Lin Tian do it alone every time.
Even if she couldn't help in any way, Gan Yanyu hoped that she could be by Lin Tian's side while he was creating, and offer him some fruit when he needed it.
Gan Yanyu was very satisfied with this.
But last night, Lin Tian still stayed up late to write music alone.
"You should have told me"
Gan Yanyu sighed softly.
"I couldn't sleep last night either."
after all,
We had that conversation at Teacher Tuoba's house during the day.
Anyone could have slept peacefully last night.
Maybe it was for this reason that Lin Tian stayed up late to work on it.
“.”
Seeing Gan Yanyu's depressed mood, Lin Tian knew what Gan Yanyu was thinking.
However, he did not rush to comfort her.
Instead, he came straight to Gan Yanyu's side and patted her shoulder.
"It's okay. I've already finished the creative work. You'll have to take care of the next important part."
Lin Tian looked at the music score opened on the piano.
He immediately recognized that Gan Yanyu was playing the song "Moonlight" that he had written last night.
"How does it feel?" Lin Tian asked.
The topic finally shifted back.
Gan Yanyu, who heard this, suddenly became excited, "Yes, Lin Tian, I was just about to tell you."
Gan Yanyu looked at the song with a complicated expression, as if she had discovered some treasure, and seemed a little excited, "This song is so beautiful, really beautiful, but it's too weird."
"strangeness?"
Lin Tian didn't expect that Gan Yanyu would use this word to describe this song.
"Yes, I played it for the whole afternoon, but I still couldn't find the right mood. It's very different. It's completely different from the feeling I had when I played the songs before."
Gan Yanyu said seriously and somewhat worriedly.
As she spoke, the girl's brows unconsciously frowned, as if she was thinking.
“.”
Seeing Gan Yanyu showing that tricky expression, which she had not shown in front of Lin Tian for a long time since the Parrot Qin Cup.
Lin Tian knew that the thing he was most worried about had happened.
——Xiao Gan couldn’t resonate in a short period of time.
Just as Lin Tian had anticipated when he was creating last night.
Debussy's music is too abstract, so abstract that there is no narrative at all.
It's not like some short stories.
Based on the historical background and the author's life experience, you can more or less imagine the emotions that the author wanted to express when he was writing.
But this song "Moonlight" is different.
Even if Lin Tian told Gan Yanyu the detailed resume of "Debussy", she might not be able to understand it.
“.”
but,
Speaking of which, it's a bit heartless.
It was a rare sight to see Gan Yanyu encounter a difficult situation that he hadn’t encountered for a long time.
Lin Tian was still a little relieved.
Because this time it was Lin Tian who wrote the song without permission, and he was talking to Tuoba Jianhui the whole day yesterday, and Gan Yanyu was unable to help.
Otherwise, this girl will feel that she owes me something.
In fact, every time Gan Yanyu talked to Lin Tian about composing music, she felt like she had paid nothing.
Lin Tian was very nervous.
For example.
Moonlight and Cat is a group with two members. Lin Tian is responsible for composing music, operating accounts, and releasing videos every day. Then at the end of the month, when the accounts are settled, they say that the album sales have exploded and Lin Tian has won the MVP! 13.0 carry game!
It's easy to see that Gan Yanyu waits for Lin Tian to write a song every day and then goes on stage to perform. Gan Yanyu is a dog who wins easily!
Gan Yanyu's rating this month is 3.0!
Can it be calculated like this? Definitely not, right?
"Can you explain it more clearly?"
Retracting his thoughts, Lin Tian asked.
What is "strange" and "different".
This description is too abstract and Lin Tian can’t quite understand it.
In fact, there is little Lin Tian can do to help with how to identify emotions.
Because he himself doesn't understand.
Even if he could understand the song "Moonlight" and Debussy very thoroughly.
Know what kind of mood this song gives people.
But that doesn't mean he can incorporate these things into his performance.
Otherwise, any performer can become a world-class performer just by taking a look at Baidu Encyclopedia.
Therefore, only Gan Yanyu can do this kind of thing.
When it comes to performance in this dimension, Lin Tian can only play an auxiliary and guiding role.
"How should I put it?"
Gan Yanyu looked at the music score and fell into deep thought.
“I wanted to have a conversation through this piece of music, but I found that there was no one sitting opposite me.”
More abstract,
Even Gan Yanyu, who spoke so abstractly.
There is also a mentally ill person in this world who can understand what she says and has the same brain problems as her.
That is Lin Tian.
Lin Tian understood.
He knew how Gan Yanyu played.
She has a sense of immersion that no one else has. Every time she plays a piece of music, she tries to completely immerse herself in the world of music.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
For example, the Cello Concerto in E minor.
Gan Yanyu will travel through time a hundred years and return to that war-torn era.
A conversation with the lonely soul of Elgar a hundred years ago.
Through this kind of immersion.
This makes Gan Yanyu's cello have a terrifying and intoxicating power.
but,
In front of the song "Moonlight".
Gan Yanyu suffered a Waterloo.
The girl packed her bags as usual, traveled a hundred years, and came to the world of "Moonlight".
What awaits her is only a beautiful scenery.
And there are the mischiefs left by Debussy.
There is no one here, no stories, no conflicts, and even the emotions are always plain and the same.
It was all white.
Only Gan Yanyu was left standing there, at a loss as to what to do.
“.”
Lin Tian figured it out.
No wonder Gan Yanyu said this song is "special".
For her, this was beyond the normal way of thinking she had played before.
It's normal to feel dizzy all of a sudden.
"It should be fine if you come a few more times."
Lin Tian said, "I'll go with you."
This song is not difficult, but the expression is difficult.
Lin Tian believed that if he played well with Gan Yanyu a few times, slowly, with Gan Yanyu's ability, he would be able to find the emotions quickly.
"Um."
Gan Yanyu nodded.
Soon, Lin Tian adjusted his sitting position and sat on the same bench with Gan Yanyu.
The boy took a deep breath.
“3, 2, 1, prepare”
Lin Tian was about to shout when he was suddenly stopped by Gan Yanyu.
"Wait a moment!"
Under Lin Tian's puzzled gaze, Gan Yanyu stood up and walked to the balcony.
Draw all the curtains and turn off the lights.
Inside the house, the light dimmed instantly.
The only tiny bit of light shines through the curtains and illuminates the living room.
"This gives it a more 'Moonlight' vibe." Gan Yanyu said seriously.
"You are worthy of it." Lin Tian was happy.
You know what, the light-blocking properties of these curtains are pretty impressive.
After it was pulled up, visibility in the room suddenly became very low, and it was hard to tell whether it was night or day outside.
There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with calling it "moonlight".
"What about the competition?"
Lin Tian asked.
We can’t ask the on-site staff to create an artificial moon.
"Don't worry about it."
Gan Yanyu stuck out her tongue playfully and returned to her seat.
The girl picked up the cello.
This time, there was no interruption.
Lin Tian silently counted three, two, one.
Pressed the first key.
As the "moonlight" slid down from the rib-like dome, along the curve of his wrist, it flowed into the gap between the hammers hitting the strings.
The quiet and gentle piano sound was the first to sound.
“.”
The triplets transform into liquid silver light as the pedal is extended.
And Gan Yanyu's bow cut in at this moment, and the murmur of the G string was like moonlight sinking into a deep pool, intertwining with the piano.
Just like dancing.
Great! Lin Tian secretly admired it in his heart.
Isn't this played very well? It is indeed Gan Yanyu's cello.
I always feel at ease with this kind of poetic melody.
She fully integrated the unique feeling of the cello into the song "Moonlight".
It was so quiet and gentle that even Lin Tian, who was playing along, could easily enjoy it.
The music reaches a climax in the second section.
The piano began to speed up, but not violently. It was a gradual process, like a drop of water.
The cello is like a lotus flower that is continuously splashed with water drops, swaying gently with the increasing weight of the water drops - this swaying is also not violent, but it carries such tenderness very well. Just seeing such a scene is refreshing. Everything about them contains pleasant poetry.
“.”
Unconsciously, under the support of the cello, the beautiful scenery created by Debussy has quietly unfolded in Lin Tian's eyes.
——Are you setting too high a standard for yourself? Lin Tian didn't know if it was because his level couldn't keep up. He really thought that Gan Yanyu's performance was already very good.
Gan Yanyu's progress is really terrifying.
In the past, Gan Yanyu encountered songs with emotions that she was not sure about.
She might really turn the whole piece into a disaster; her thought process is beyond anyone's ability to guess.
But, until now.
Even for music that Gan Yanyu said she "hadn't found the right mood for yet", she played it completely according to her instincts.
And still managed to play this piece so beautifully.
Gan Yanyu is now so powerful that it is terrifying.
To the extent that Lin Tian didn’t think that there was any kind of song now that could defeat this great devil.
Just as Lin Tian was expressing his emotion.
The music reaches its climax.
This is also a fast variation, like gentle waves crashing on the beach.
However, when Lin Tian confidently sped up the piano.
However, there were strange changes coming from the cello.
——Too fast.
Somehow.
The cello began to fast forward in a way that Lin Tian could not expect.
And, it's quite violent.
"?"
Lin Tian couldn't believe that Gan Yanyu would make such a low-level mistake.
He turned his head and looked at his partner beside him.
At this moment, Gan Yanyu closed her eyes tightly.
She bit her lip, as if she was realizing something.
Once the performance started, Lin Tian couldn't interrupt it easily.
He could only continue to follow Gan Yanyu's piano music.
However, Gan Yanyu was getting faster and faster. Lin Tian's hands also kept accelerating.
There is a problem! There is definitely a problem! Lin Tian saw it.
Gan Yanyu's mind was no longer in this house at all at this moment.
She couldn't hear Lin Tian's accompaniment at all, nor did she realize how fiercely her music was impacting her.
In an instant, Lin Tian seemed to feel it.
His thoughts followed suit.
In this quiet moonlight beauty.
What he saw.
It is a restless rain of sweet words that is ready to burst out at any time.
She sat by the lake with a painful and struggling expression on her face.
This expression is completely different from everything around him and it is completely different from the atmosphere.
Lin Tian was stunned.
He had never seen such hysterical Gan Yanyu.
This was not the expression she usually showed.
She may feel sad, nervous, uneasy, and unable to control herself.
But he never showed such an expression.
“.”
The ensemble ends.
Gan Yanyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Tian turned his head and looked at her with complicated eyes.
"What? What's the matter?"
Gan Yanyu felt Lin Tian's stern gaze and asked cautiously.
"Teacher Gan——"
Lin Tian said,
"Do you want to win too much now?"
