Chapter 674 Adagio in the Salon

On the evening of October 28, San Perto.

An elegant banquet hall that belongs to the property of the Janus royal family and is usually not open to the public, but was rented by the academic school for a large sum of money tonight.

It is still the salon of the Marquise McAdam, but in a special season, this salon has crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and changed the venue. The technicians of Turner Art Cinema have also debugged all kinds of equipment required for the venue.

And the equipment used at home is the "high-end version".

There are rich fragrances of flowers and plants, decorations and displays soaked in golden halos, the crisp collision of wine glasses, and gentlemen and ladies sitting in groups of three or five, with a few whispers from time to time.

Tonight, the arrangement after the meal is as follows:

First, the premiere of the newly created chamber music piece "Adagio" by Master Fanning will be broadcast to "music radio stations" around the world, and then "watch" Scheler's new work "The Rite of Spring" broadcast from the South Continent Radio Station. After the appreciation session, the "main meal" discussion session of the salon will begin. The topic of discussion is related to modern music and the "end of the century" trend of thought.

Among them, the broadcast of Scheler's "The Rite of Spring" was added temporarily.

In this regard, everyone said it was natural.

The news of Scheler's return two days ago suddenly set off the entire music world, especially the remnants of the Temple of Flowers held a press conference, announcing that Scheler will lead the United Principality Festival Orchestra to premiere his latest modern ballet "The Rite of Spring" as a warm-up for his participation in the Harvest Art Festival. After this news came down, the current "Scheler Music Association" and the people of the South are basically in a state of almost crazy boiling all day long!

With such attention, Turner Cinemas chose to broadcast the premiere of The Rite of Spring across the board, which is naturally in line with business logic.

The expected performance time of Adagio is less than 10 minutes, and the performance time of The Rite of Spring reported by the leading actors is also about 30 minutes.

As a foil to the salon, it will not overshadow the main performance and turn the salon into a concert.

And well, since we will discuss modern art in a while, it is also appropriate to listen to Scheler's work, which calls itself "modern ballet music", and it is very suitable as a guide to the topic.

In the center of the banquet hall, a slightly unusual chamber music combination is presented to the guests.

A string quartet composed of the first and second violins, viola, cello, and a harp.

The music is flowing, slow, simple, quiet, and intoxicating.

But in the deep love of the blue sky, beautiful sun and bright spring, there seems to be a sad and beautiful emotional foreshadowing, which makes people hold their breath to listen.

"Excellent work! Wonderful work! It is said that this "Adagio" dedicated to Miss Roy is a warm-up for a small movement in Master Fanning's new symphony?"

Many guests who had learned some information in advance couldn't help but applaud in their hearts at this moment.

".It should be a relatively simple form, lyrical and relatively independent content. But I didn't expect that the creativity of this orchestration was so bold, and the woodwind, brass and percussion groups all left the stage? Only strings, plus harp?"

Under the leadership of Miss Sheeran, who served as the first violin, her "Sol Ruby" carved the timbre of the string quartet to the extreme, like a silky cake full of sugar!

If the whole string part is performed like this, the cake may be a little thick and greasy. Then the ethereal sound of the harp, like the gurgling water, is like the sweet and sour fruit on top of the cake!

Perfect timbre and harmony.

This kind of orchestration thinking does not seem to be difficult to design now, but why has no one achieved such an effect before?

In this way, not only can it be crowned as the king of the "slow movement world", but also because of its "easy to simplify and adapt" nature, in addition to symphonies, it will probably appear frequently in indoor concerts in the future!

"The music of this "Adagio" is sincere and moving, and it definitely has a romantic component. Moreover, as a new symphony fragment of Master Fanning, it has a very high status. If it is presented like this."

"It is said that King Louis also did it at the awarding ceremony."

After the song ended, many guests and even "viewers" from all over the world secretly speculated and analyzed.

"Well, but the price of the 'Sol Ruby' violin is said to have been bought by Master Fanning out of his own pocket, which is also considered to be all he had."

Some people tried to use other "it's said" to counter others' "it's said".

The applause sounded after the end of the performance, but except for a few people who were talking in low voices, no one made a long speech for the time being.

The appreciation stage is not over yet. After "The Rite of Spring" is over, there will be time to output.

Many people are secretly organizing their words and accumulating strength.

"Carloen, is my violin good!" A few minutes after the curtain call, Sheeran ran out of the aisle with a white dress in one hand and a violin case in the other, and asked excitedly.

"Very good! You sit here." Fanning sat up a little straighter on the long sofa and patted his left seat.

"Mr. Fanning, the other musicians recommended by the family, did they perform well?" Roy, wearing a rose purple dress, also came around from the side.

"Not bad! You can sit here." Fan Ning patted the seat on the right again.

"It's such a wide seat, you sit there, I'll go with Xilan." Roy rolled his eyes at Fanning, pushed him to the far right, and sat next to Xilan.

"Senior, his injury hasn't healed yet." Xilan said with some worry.

"Shiran, I really want to thank you and your piano today. The 'Sol Ruby' is a perfect match for your spirituality. If it were only my 'Gianandrea', it would never have achieved such a perfect effect." Roy leaned over the front table and opened a bottle of champagne sparkling wine, pouring it for her and himself, "Several people have told me just now that although they have only heard a chamber music version of this 'Adagio', if nothing unexpected happens, it is estimated to become one of the most important slow movements in the symphony literature."

"Don't be so polite." Shiran smiled a little embarrassedly, "We always face each other in concerts, so of course we have a tacit understanding. Hey, just thinking today, it would be great if Joan was still here, and Lu, who is so busy, probably doesn't have much time to go on stage to play with everyone."

"I believe there will be a time to get together, cheers." Roy smiled.

The two principals clinked their glasses, and Fanning next to them raised a glass of boiled water and forced himself to join in.

"Cheers."

He also swallowed a few pills.
