Chapter 144: Against the Waves for Thousands of Years (Additional chapter for book friends who voted and gave rewards)

Franz immediately thought of a song. It happened that old Johann Strauss was conducting the orchestra at a charity ball held by the Vienna government.

"Mr. Strauss, someone is looking for you." A young musician said.

"Didn't you see I was performing? Do you know where this is? Any big shot here can make you disappear from this world completely. How dare you disturb me! Believe it or not, I will fire you now!"

Although old Johann Strauss was born a commoner, he had been famous for a long time at this time. He even performed a special performance at the coronation ceremony of Queen Victoria.

He was no longer the young man who had just arrived in Vienna wearing only a white sweatshirt and a violin.

At this time, old Johann Strauss was more like a businessman than a musician. Businessmen naturally put profits first, and these dignitaries in front of him were very likely his potential customers.

After all, his orchestra costs are very high, and ordinary businessmen and nobles can't afford it at all.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your performance." Adjani spoke up to help the aggrieved young man out of the siege. The young musician looked at Adjani gratefully, and Adjani smiled and winked at him.

Some of Adjani's unconscious little movements can easily give people an illusion. The young musician lowered his head shyly.

Old Johann Strauss also noticed the woman in front of him. She had the mature charm of a young woman, the playfulness and agility of a young girl, and was dressed luxuriously and capable.

The experienced John immediately analyzed that the woman in front of him was either the mistress of a big man or the attendant of a big man, not an ordinary woman.

If this kind of person is not handled well, it will bring big trouble to oneself, so old Johann Strauss immediately put on a smiling face and asked respectfully.

"Hello, ma'am, how can I help you?"

"You must be Mr. Johann Strauss. Your performance is very wonderful. Archduke Franz Joseph wants to see you. Please do me the honor." Adjani handed over the invitation and said goodbye.

First, Ajani had other people to invite, second, she didn't like the look in the man's eyes, and third, she was sure that he would come to the appointment, so she didn't want to waste time.

Old Johann Strauss knew who Franz Joseph was without looking at the invitation.

"Is Archduke Franz also my fan?" Old Johann Strauss couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Three days later, Vienna, Royal Garden.

Old Johann Strauss deliberately changed into his favorite suit and asked his wife to carefully take care of his hair to ensure that he could meet Archduke Franz in the best appearance.

Maybe from now on, he can become a court musician like Mozart. Although his band is very profitable now, he will be more famous and more profitable after becoming a court musician.

Old Johann Strauss knew this very well, so he came to the Royal Garden with full confidence.

But he seemed to be late, a long table was already full, old Johann Strauss knew all these people, Chopin, Liszt, Robert Schumann, Karl Czerny, Paganini, Archduke Johann of Berlioz.

Except for those who were dead and unborn, the big names in the music world of the 19th century were basically gathered together. Of course, if it weren't for Vienna, if it weren't for the help of Archduke Johann and Adjani, Franz wouldn't have been able to invite so many people.

First of all, Chopin was very dissatisfied with the Austrian Empire, but fortunately Adjani and Chopin had a good personal relationship. They both participated in the Warsaw Uprising and went into exile in Paris together. Later, they joined the Polish Restoration Army to fight for Poland, so he appeared here today.

Although Archduke Johann was a little unreliable, he dropped out of music with Beethoven, was cheated of tens of millions of dollars in business with the Rothschild family, fought with Napoleon, and let him go, which almost angered Archduke Karl to death.

But it must be said that he is really famous, and the title of Beethoven's disciple is very useful. Everyone, including Czerny and Liszt, has to give him face.

Franz is tone-deaf, so humming a minor tune naturally has to be left to Adjani.

In fact, Adjani's musical literacy is very good, but Franz's level is too poor, and she can't completely reproduce the melody of the song.

Some of the music masters present closed their eyes and listened, some took out pens and paper to draw the music score, some had already beat the beat with their hands, and some used tableware to play the accompaniment.

Even before Adjani finished humming the first time, these music masters had already found the melody that the song should have. As a result, under their guidance, Adjani actually hummed the passages that Franz had forgotten.

In just a few minutes, the complete score of the song was completed.

Afterwards, Liszt and Chopin sat in front of the piano, Paganini and others picked up the violin, and the masters played a song together. The effect was very shocking, but Adjani's humming made people feel like a love song.

After the song, Berlioz spoke first, "Archduke Franz, it's quite good to have such a level at the age of eight, don't feel inferior."

Franz sighed in his heart, "No wonder you are poor all your life, you are really good at talking."

At this time, someone suggested to write lyrics for Franz's song, but Franz flatly refused.

In Franz's mind, those European composers are okay, but the level of lyrics is really poor, either love or red flowers and green grass.

Ever since, Franz took out the Austrian version of the lyrics that he had already revised.

The Holy Roman Empire lasted for thousands of years.

Elbe, Rhine, Danube, Po, east and north flows

Zongzi nourishes all nations

But the troubles never end

Eternal breeding and nourishing China and Europe

But he is dangerous and unstable, and his moodiness threatens all directions.

Water can carry a boat on a long voyage

It can also turn over clouds and rain to create evil waves

The truth is that natural disasters are unpredictable and difficult to prevent

It's just a matter of fighting with one's life and using one's body as an obstacle to make one feel miserable

Standing in the West

The masters had different expressions after reading the lyrics. They had never seen such weird lyrics. There were so many grammatical errors that it was appalling. The style was more like a long poem than lyrics.

Several German musicians burst into tears after watching it. Although it was about flooding, it was more like a history of the German nation, telling about the turmoil, restlessness, and hesitation that this nation had experienced, but never surrendered and continued to Strive and keep moving forward

Whether it was a natural disaster or the brutal attacks of the French and Ottomans, countless ancestors fought for their lives. Among them were civilians and nobles, men and women. These people have been swallowed up by history, but it is their contribution that has made a difference for others. People fight for life.

Although the tone is slightly tragic, the whole song is filled with a spirit of never giving up, and depicts a future of self-reliance, self-respect, and confidence for the German people.

The one who cried the most miserably was Chopin. Although the article was full of great German thoughts, the Ottomans and the flood reminded him of his motherland, Poland, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth that once stood alone in suppressing the dew and penetrated the Ottomans.

Some people had a heavy heart. They saw an ambitious monarch and a terrifying big German idea. It had nothing to do with faith or character. This young man would surely cause countless bloody storms in Europe.

"Archduke Franz, what is the name of this song?"

""A Thousand Years Against the Waves""

I haven't thought about this lyric, but it will definitely mention the Napoleonic Wars, the Siege of Vienna, the Augsburg water conservancy system,...
