No matter how bad the situation is, the piano will still make the same sound.
When I was very young, I played Moonlight·1902 on the boat to remind myself of this.
Come rain or shine, or the cruise is bumpy.
Whether today is full of guests or only a few...
Press the keys with your fingers and the piano will always make the same sound.
The piano neither mourns nor trembles with fear—
It's the best showman.
Therefore, Moonlight also reminds myself, reminding myself over and over again...
If you want to be worthy of a piano, you must also become a "piano".
As a result, he spent every "thrilling" moment in his life.
Whether it’s your first performance, being challenged by the so-called “Father of Jazz”, or meeting Winnie…
He always reminds himself that when he is a "piano", hitting the keys will produce the same sound.
Today, the habit still works.
Although she realized that she might not survive this performance, Moonlight still performed with passion and expressiveness that was no less than any other performance in her life.
"Yesterday's Carnival".
Shado Amma's maid kept humming softly, influencing the subconscious of the audience, making them resist the music played by others.
However, what is very strange is that even in such a negative environment, the audience also appreciated the charm of Moonlight Performance.
Someone started dancing to the music.
In the shadows backstage, three exotic musicians exchanged glances, and then closed their eyes at the same time——
The three mourning singers substituted their thoughts into the three maids, and directly supplied their singing with their own spiritual power...
The low hum that cannot be heard directly distorts Moonlight's performance after all.
Although the pianist is very devoted to his performance and his skills are extremely exquisite...
However, the audience still felt an inexplicable feeling of disgust in their hearts.
They hope to hear the vicissitudes of "Distant Ancient Country" again instead of such "noisy" music.
Finally, those listeners who couldn't help but want to dance were also affected.
The desire to get excited disappeared, and a look of confusion appeared on their faces.
Although they can't point out what's wrong with the music performed by the performers on stage, they just don't like it.
Different from the audience who are gradually calming down, the undead souls in the cemetery who appeared due to yesterday's carnival are still dancing feverishly - as the dead, they will not be ignored by Shado Amma's maids at all. Influence.
As if feeling the strange atmosphere in the audience, Yueguang opened her eyes and looked at the audience.
He saw confusion on their faces, as if they didn't know what expression to choose.
Some people have frowned and are obviously irritated...
"As expected, it still doesn't work?" Yue Guang still played passionately, as if no one in the world knew how to appreciate his performance, he would continue to play resolutely.
However, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Sean, Winnie, dad...and the lovely Aaliyah...
"Am I going to die here?"
Finally, a rude man in the audience booed:
"You play so badly, get off the stage!"
In the distance, three maids in black clothes and pointed hats became extremely tall, like silent mountain peaks in the night.
Since her debut, Moonlight has never been booed except for a drunken man who disrupted her performance.
The increasingly uncontrollable dissatisfaction in the audience gave him some fresh experiences.
However, the pianist was still somewhat unwilling to accept this inevitable ending.
After mastering the second chapter of the "Unknown Nocturne", "Yesterday's Carnival", Moonlight had already begun to study the climax of the nocturne suite - the third chapter called "Darkest".
However, no matter how he played it, whether in his mind or in front of a real piano...
Moonlight discovered that this could not be called a piece of music at all.
Because it does not comply with basic music theory, the so-called "Darkest" is simply unlistenable.
If it were forcibly played, it would just be a series of discordant notes.
What is ironic is that, judging from the arrangement of the suite, and the length and complexity of "Darkest" itself...
This unplayable third chapter is undoubtedly the most exciting part of the "Untitled Nocturne".
If Bernard Shaw hadn't made such a cruel joke, Moonlight believed that such a piece of music could completely compete with "Ancient Country Far Away".
It is a pity that it seems that the young composer was insane when he composed this piece of music, otherwise the chaos and absurdity of the third movement cannot be explained.
So, even if Moonlight wanted to hit back with the best chapter of Nocturne, he couldn't.
At this moment, when he was inevitably sliding towards the end of being swallowed by the flames, Moonlight couldn't help but think of this song again in association with his own situation.
"The deepest darkness..." he thought with a wry smile, "Isn't this my current situation?
"if……
"If I can figure out the secret of that weird musical score, maybe there will be a chance?"
For the last time, while playing, Moonlight tried to recall the score.
"Darkest"...what is its secret?
Like a dark cloud, the audience let out a low grunt before the roar.
Shado Amma's maids had a firm grip on them and they were losing their patience.
Looking at the angry audience and the figures of the undead dancing in the crowd that appeared due to "Yesterday's Carnival", Moonlight suddenly felt alienated and absurd——
Three peaks in the green mist.
The ignorant people under the three peaks.
Dancing phantoms among ignorant people...
What you see before your eyes seems to be a paradoxical oil painting full of metaphors.
Staring at this "oil painting", the pianist suddenly frowned...
Before, he had been thinking about a question regarding "Darkest".
If you only look at the first two chapters, it is obvious that Bernard Shaw arranged the "Untitled Nocturne" according to the timeline——
The first chapter, "Overture of the Dead," describes a young pianist playing in a cemetery under the new moon. The open door to Hades reveals golden apples representing death and rebirth, and all this awakens the people in the cemetery. The undead...
In the second chapter, "Yesterday's Carnival," the sight has moved into the cemetery. The awakened souls of the undead began to dance and sway to their heart's content amidst the sound of the piano transformed into dance music...
Logically speaking, the most exciting third chapter should depict the climax of this weird dance...
According to Moonlight's understanding, the climax of this carnival on the border between life and death should be as eye-catching and dazzling as grand fireworks, making anyone who is lucky enough to witness this dance unforgettable...
But……
In the third chapter, why did it suddenly take a turn for the worse, from Carnival to "Darkest"?
Did the party end so hastily?
Previously, my thinking about the third chapter was forced to stop here and made no further progress.
But when Moonlight saw the scene in front of him, he suddenly had a new understanding.
He saw the angry living and the reveling dead——
Separated by yin and yang, they are originally people from two worlds.
People in these two worlds have completely different reactions to the same thing.
so……?
So, what the living consider "darkness" is exactly "light" in the eyes of the dead?
The so-called "deepest darkness" is the most blazing light for the dead?
Life and death are relative.
The living and the undead have completely opposite understandings of the world.
That is to say...
A flash of light instantly illuminated the music score in Yueguang's mind.
In his mind, the sheet of parchment music under the lamp was turned over, and he began to read the sheet of music from the reverse side of the paper through the penetration of light.
A string of smooth and beautiful piano sounds flows in my mind...
I see!
Life and death!
The deepest darkness is not the sudden end of the carnival, but the climax of the carnival!
If you want to play this piece of music for a living person to listen to, you can only look at the music score in reverse!
Under the stage, the sound of the piano at this moment could no longer soothe the manipulated audience, and someone began to roar, leading other audience members to start shouting.
And Moonlight, a pianist from the ocean, a Queen-level explorer who obtained the custom-made mask of "Moonlight Soloist", turned her wrist lightly, and moved her fingers quickly, transitioning the music to a brand new third chapter...
"Darkest".
