赛 Otello's serious and slightly old voice came from the office: "Who?"
"It's me, Victor. Director Othello, I have something to discuss with you." Victor converged the smile just now and became gentle again.
Otello's voice was silent for a few seconds, without doubt: "Oh, Victor, are you worried about Her Royal Highness's evaluation of your music? Come in, the door is not locked."
He seems to be in a good mood. He even laughed rarely, probably because he was praised by Princess Natasha.
For him who has not inspired the blood to become a knight, the best choice to maintain the stability of his noble status and possessions is, of course, to be appreciated by the Grand Duke or Princess Natasha who has inherited the Earl of Violet, and Natasha The princess is very passionate about music. As a director of the Music Association, Othello has a great advantage in this regard.
Victor twisted the copper handle, slowly opened the door, and took Lucian into it.
Othello was sitting behind a red wooden desk. The black dress was straight and neat. There was no trace of rain. His serious expression became relaxed. His face was rosy and full of spirit. He held a quill in his hand and rustled on a piece of paper. After listening to the sound of Victor coming up, he looked up and said, "Victor, Your Royal Highness is very interested in the piano concerto you wrote in the last year. I am very curious about the brand-new instrument 'Piano'. The concert next Saturday night is full of expectations, don't let her down. "
"Eh?" After seeing Victor, Othello naturally saw Lucian who followed him and closed the door lightly, but he kept the noble etiquette and did not ask directly, but waited for Victor. The introduction may be because Lucien's clothes are neat and elegant, handsome in appearance, and easy to leave a good impression. Othello did not look displeased, just a little strange, "Victor brought a stranger to What do you want me to do? "
显然 He had apparently forgotten that he had ever seen Lucian in a linen jacket.
Victor is in a happy mood. Although he knows that negotiation will be difficult, he is full of fighting spirit and psychological preparations for facing setbacks: "I am very glad to be appreciated by Her Royal Highness. I am full of confidence in the concert. Director Othello, this is My students Lucien, Lucien Evans, who composes an excellent piece of music, and I would like to ask you to evaluate that you have a recognized authority on serious music. "
Even if he is an emotional musician, he does not mean that Victor is an autistic who is not good at communicating with people and does not know how to deal with people. He did not directly say that he wants to change the track, but he complimented it slightly. After a while, Director Othello allowed him to watch Lucian's music without any prejudice and resistance.
Othello wasn't surprised. If Lucien was a true disciple of Victor in music, it would be normal for him to introduce and recommend Lucien to other musicians, performers, and critics, even for the same reason. Often it is the evaluation of the student's music or performance, so Othello's serious face shows a polite smile: "Victor, when did you receive this student? You have been preparing for the concert in the past year, but I didn't I heard about it. "
I did not explain, Victor just smiled and handed the music to Othello, intending to wait until he finished reading.
Othello took the score, his expression became serious again, he looked at the score seriously, and the melody naturally appeared in his mind. Soon he was deeply impressed by the short, powerful and lingering notes at the beginning. He frowned a bit and started the whole movement with such notes. It is completely foreseeable that the fierceness behind him. This is something he has never encountered in the past few decades in his music career. It seems that he can smell a taste he does not like, that is, Aalto's recent musical trend has been themed on his own emotions and other things.
Although he is good at serious subjects, Othello's solemnity is only limited to religious themes, plus he is old and subconsciously resists new things.
However, the shocking melody in the back made Othello feel like his heart would stop beating. He only slowed down after reading the first movement. At this time, he found that his palms were all sweaty, and he made the paper on the edge of the score. Getting moist and wrinkled is like going through a thrilling fight.
Rejection of this kind of theme music reminded Othello of the first movement and he wanted to tear up the whole sheet music, not let it spread, or let others be infected by the music.
Even if he hated it and hated it again, Othello gave a very high evaluation of the melody of the first movement. The two emotions were fighting in his heart, and his wrinkled eyebrows never stretched.
After watching all the movements, Othello was silent, because he did n’t know how to evaluate. In recent years, “Music Review” and “Symphony Review” have been welcoming this theme music. The same is true of the princess, so it is impossible to comment from this aspect.
And the prestigious aristocratic musician of his own, will not lose sight of a young man who has just started to compose the details of his music.
As for praising his melody, Othello will not do it against his own heart.
Silence made time seem to be slow. Othello finally put down the score, and spoke slowly and seriously: "I am glad to see a young man who is very talented in music, but Lucien, music is a world Praising the Lord's voice is a sacred and broad religious praise, and I hope you can put more of your talents and thoughts on it. "
"Thank you for your evaluation, Director Othello." Lucian responded politely without paying any attention, and praised the Lord himself. That was the biggest joke at the moment.
Although Othello did not mention a word of music, Victor was very satisfied that being able to keep him from criticizing the music was an attitude, so he explained the true meaning: "I can get your praise, I am Lucian I'm glad that I believe that you should have seen the value of this piece, and I want to show it to everyone at my concert. "
"No!" Othello, without thinking, directly rejected Victor's proposal, staring at Victor, showing his relentlessness as a noble and director for a long time.
Victor also looked at Othello with no compromise, "Council Othello, why not?"
Othello was slightly surprised by Victor's tough attitude, but he immediately thought that he "understands" Victor's idea, and that is to use this music to further his reputation and status: "I have seen the track for Her Royal Highness. , And changing the track temporarily will leave her with the impression that the association is not reliable. Victor, do you want to use the development of the association in exchange for your reputation? "
Victor laughed, full of fighting spirit: "If there is better music without showing it to Her Majesty and Her Royal Highness Princess, then they will make their impression of the association worse, Director Othello, if you do not agree, I will look for Ms. Silvia, I implore her to transfer the sheet music to Her Royal Highness. I will not give up! "
"You!" His majesty was provoked, and Othello stood up like a lion, looking at Victor angrily.
After Victor showed his tough attitude, he began to persuade softly: "His Majesty and Her Royal Highness have no prejudice to the theme music, and can even say that they love it even more. I believe that Director Othello can imagine their reaction after hearing this music , Why not make them more satisfied and happier? This is also good for you, Othello director. "
No major figures at the top of the aristocrat like it, and the theme music expressing inner emotions will not form a trend within a few years.
The anger on Othello's face began to fade. He was old, and neither his sons nor his grandsons could inspire blood power. They must pave the way for them to let the glory of the family continue with the title and see Victor's Attitude, even if he doesn't agree, he will try other methods.
After a brief thought, Othello looked at Victor seriously: "Two days before the concert, I will listen to your practice once, if there are no problems, I will temporarily change the track."
Persevering in winning the victory, Victor couldn't help but wave his fist slightly: "As you wish, Director Othello."
Othello took a look at Lucien: "I have to say, Victor, you have an excellent student, and his talent in music is unparalleled. Why is he not famous in the association, and should he be famous for his talent?"
"Three months ago, he came to learn music from me ..." Victor answered honestly.
Otello asked puzzledly, "Three months?"
"Well he only started regular music studies for three months." Victor suddenly realized that he was expecting a response from the director of Othello, while Lucian was apathetic.
Othello's mouth is half open, and he has not spoken for a long time, like a statue. The serious and old-fashioned temperament looks very funny in this expression.
"Are you sure? Victor, are you sure he wrote it?" A few minutes later, Othello asked almost roaring.
Victor nodded: "I watched him write it little by little, as evidenced by the manuscript of the past month, and Joseph also confirmed that there was no plagiarism. The reason why Lucian could write it was from his life experience ..." In order to enhance the persuasive power, Victor replaced the witnesses of Lott, Felice and others with himself.
Othello seemed to be defeated by confidence and re-sit on the chair. The old man kept whispering once he lost his self-control, and seemed to mourn his past musical career.
After a while, he calmed down and waved Victor and Lucian away.
Out of Othello's office, Lucian saw a familiar person approaching, Correa, the guard of the church, and a high-level knight attendant who was fighting the red-eye rat with him.
Correa, wearing a silver chain mail, with a serious expression, walked in front of Lucien under the leadership of Elena: "Lucien, please answer why you didn't come to the Music Association's library this morning. What's wrong? "
Elena led the guard of the church, but she was a little embarrassed. I do n’t know why he looked for Lucian, but when she heard this question, she suddenly felt very ridiculous: "The church still manages things that others haven't come to work? "
Victor was also surprised, and this normal thing to ask? The church is overstaffed?
