…………………………………………………………………

April 3rd, Aalto Festival.

The melodious and noisy streets full of melody reverberate. Lucien is not always dressed in formal clothes or dresses as usual. Instead, he wears a simple brown-red long coat, white shirt with black trousers, and sandals. Ivan dressed as a little gentleman.

Joel and Alisa wanted to relive their dating when they were young, so they entrusted Ivan to Lucien's care. Victor, because many foreign nobles, musicians, and friends of musicians came, these few days receptions, salons, and banquets He is very busy, and as his students, Phyllis and Lott are of course happy to help him share the busyness and attend this kind of party. After all, a wide network of contacts is also important for musicians, but considering that Lucien As the pressure of the ending concert, they all tacitly did not invite Lucien and let him prepare with peace of mind.

While Natasha wanted to entertain distinguished guests like Prince Michelle, at the same time she had to care about her lover Sylvia's concert. When the Musicians Association was so busy, it was natural that they couldn't get away. Rhine's orchestra had accepted invitations to several concerts, and it was said that they would be so busy that they would have no time to fill their stomachs.

Originally, Lucien thought that at least John, his good friend, was with him. Who knew that due to the shortage of manpower, John was transferred to maintain law and order on the street.

"I didn't expect that I would bring a child on such a romantic occasion as the music festival." Lucien looked helplessly at Ivan, who was holding food in his hand and his mouth kept wriggling, and spread his hands to John on the street, "This It's a sad story."

Ivan focused on the food and ignored Lucien's complaints at all, while John, who was maintaining law and order on the street, couldn't help laughing: "Lucien, didn't some noble ladies invite you? For example, Ian from the Hill family Miss Waite."

After nearly half a year of tempering by Sir Wayne, John's temperament became more stable. His brilliant blond hair was kept at an appropriate length, paired with silver-gray chain mail, he looked handsome and upright.

"...Then I'd better concentrate on taking care of the children." Lucien pulled Ivan who didn't look at the road at all, bid farewell to John, and began to enjoy the music festival.

He will leave after the music festival, and he doesn't know if he will be able to return, so instead of staying at home, Lucien took to the streets to "really" participate in the festival.

Compared with the previous few days, the number of pedestrians and street performers on the street has not increased significantly, because there are already a lot of them. The biggest change is that those bands who still want to rent a house to hold concerts all surround an open space on the street. Start to sway your music dreams.

What makes Aiwen and other children most satisfied is the food stalls on the street, there are pies, cheese, barbecue, cakes and desserts, etc. Once he finishes eating what he has in hand, he will look around greedily. , and then quietly influenced Lucien's direction, letting him turn to the stall in his mind.

In the center of the street, floats slowly passed by under the pull of four-horned creatures resembling bulls, and some famous bands showed their music on them.

In such an atmosphere, Lucien took Ivan and walked casually. Occasionally, when he saw a concert hall, he went in directly, listened to a passage quietly, then smiled, wandered on the street again, and then repeated the previous The process is free and easy, free from any constraints, and forgets all the troubles and depressions.

In the Aalto Music Festival, except for the chant hall, the prices of all the concert halls are extremely cheap, and you can usually go in for four or five cents to listen to it for an afternoon. There are even many concert halls, because "musicians who want to be famous ", the orchestra pays for itself, and can attend for free.

This is a music festival for everyone.

When it was close to noon, Lucien took Ivan to find a bustling and less chaotic restaurant on the street.

"Brother Lucien, look..." When he was about to enter the door, Ivan pointed to the words on the big wooden sign at the door, "Dear guests, in order to celebrate our common music festival, as long as you are willing to perform a performance in the restaurant , we will waive half of your meal expenses, and if your performance gets warm applause from everyone, you will have free lunch or dinner.”

Under the guidance of Lucien and John, Ivan has been able to barely recognize words.

Lucien smiled and said, "The owner of this restaurant is really generous, but you can only experience the atmosphere of the music festival if you dine in such a restaurant."

Walking into the restaurant, under the guidance of the waitress, Lucien and Aiwen finally found a small table, and other places were already crowded with people.

After ordering two steaks with lemon juice, Lucien sat on the seat and looked at the stage in the center of the restaurant with a smile. There was an old gentleman struggling to play the piano. It was obvious that he had never learned this instrument before. The notes are The messy bursting out can be called noise.

But the old man played very seriously, as if he was performing his own concert.

When he finished playing, the whole restaurant burst into applause for his courage and perseverance, and for the joy of participating in the music festival.

"This gentleman will enjoy his lunch for free!" The restaurant owner, a man in his thirties and wearing glasses, clapped vigorously. "Which gentleman will go up and perform?"

No one laughed, only encouragement. This atmosphere infected many people, so more and more diners went up to play violins, violas, pianos, flutes and other instruments, so that the melody of music always echoed in the house.

Although the warm applause like that of the old gentleman did not appear again, it was more of an encouraging nature, but for those performers, such an occasion was like holding a concert by themselves, and they obtained the great satisfaction of their dreams. For half the cost of the meal, everyone was very satisfied and elated.

Lucien, like Aiwen, blended into the lively and cheerful atmosphere while eating the steak, and applauded vigorously after every performer finished.

The enthusiasm of this restaurant has attracted more and more pedestrians to come in and eat.

They quickly fell into the atmosphere, and even if some had no seats, they would rather hold their dinner plates and watch from the sidelines.

Piola and Sharon were looking for food after a morning of gigs when they noticed this strange restaurant.

"Oh, Piola, go up and perform!" Leslie figured out what was going on, and immediately encouraged Piola to go up, wanting to try it himself.

Piola did not refuse, and walked up excitedly, played the violin, and a brisk and warm waltz slowly unfolded along with the melody, making everyone unable to help but hum and sway, pushing the already lively atmosphere to the top. More blazing fiery.

A tidal wave of applause drowned out Piola, who had never been welcomed to this level, and was so excited to play one more song before leaving the stage.

"This handsome lad and his companions will enjoy a free lunch," the boss announced without delay, to huge cheers.

Lilith and Sara happily enjoyed the music ceremony in Aalto all morning. They were attracted by the huge cheers and walked in curiously to eat. They were also conquered by the atmosphere.

…………

Lucien put down the knife and fork, looked at Ivan who could no longer eat, and said with a smile: "I told you not to eat so much."

"However, I couldn't help it when I saw those delicious foods." Ivan looked at the remaining half of the steak sadly, asked the waiter to help wrap it, and then he said happily: "Brother Lucien, you also go up and play." Play a song, so you don't have to pay the bill!"

In his opinion, if Brother Lucien, who is a musical genius, goes up, he will undoubtedly receive the warmest applause.

Lucien appreciated the performances of those in front of him, and his emotions became more active due to the atmosphere. After hearing Aiwen's suggestion, he was a little moved. , Can I be popular with my own musical ability?

So Lucien stood up and walked towards the crude stage arranged in the center of the hall.

"Oh, another handsome young man is about to perform." The restaurant owner was the first to welcome him.

Others put down their knives and forks and applauded.

Lilith saw Lucien walking onto the stage, and almost dropped the plate containing bread, butter and barbecue on the ground, and whispered to Sarah: "Mr. Evans?"

She couldn't believe it.

"It is indeed Mr. Evans, but isn't he going to prepare for the concert on the last day?" Sarah confirmed Lilith's judgment, full of doubts.

Lilith immediately became excited: "No matter why Mr. Evans appears here, it is the most wonderful thing to hear him play himself!"

Piola on the other side also recognized Lucien, and smiled at Grace: "It's that gentleman with a very high musical quality. I wonder how his performance is?"

"It shouldn't be too bad." Grace and Sharon replied with smiles at the same time.

Lucien sat in front of the piano, put his hands on the keys, and recalled a light music melody he had composed.

Lucien does not have the ability to compose large-scale and rigorously structured classical music, but in his spare time, he also tries to compose light music with small structure and simple melody to relax himself.

Without flipping through the soul library, Lucien recalled the incomplete melodies of some light music he had heard in his previous life, expanded them with his own music knowledge, perfected their light structure, and composed a few short, semi-original pieces of his own. melody.

Press your fingers, and a soothing and melodious melody is produced in the lively hall.

Like the spring breeze blowing through the trees, like pure spring water flowing, the noise in the hall seemed to be infected and gradually calmed down. The beautiful and clear music seemed to put people in the refreshing and natural picturesque scenery, becoming Quiet.

Lucien's expression was concentrated and calm, his eyes were slightly closed, his fingers danced gracefully on the keyboard, and his body undulated gently with the melody.

Lilith looked at Lucien like this, and when she heard this music, she became calm and happy, thinking silently: "This music is awesome, at least, at least, I like Mr. Evans better than those symphonies. Such a simple melody of pure beauty. Well, Mr. Evans is so elegant with his concentration on the piano."

After the extreme hustle and bustle, there will always be exhaustion from the heart and the desire for tranquility. Lucien's light music just hit their hearts. Apart from the melodious and beautiful piano melody, there is no one in the whole hall. people talk.

The melody was very short, it ended in less than two minutes, and all the audience was still immersed in the atmosphere just now, so there was no applause at all, and it was very quiet.

Satisfied with this reaction, Lucien quickly stepped off the stage, pulled Ivan, threw a Silver Gnar to the receptionist, and then walked out of the restaurant.

It was only after going out the gate that Lucien heard huge applause suddenly erupting in the restaurant, which was more enthusiastic than ever before.

…………

"I forgot to ask the gentleman's name again." Piola blamed himself angrily after waking up. "He must be an excellent musician."

Sharon reminisces about the previous performance: "The melody just now is really beautiful. After expanding, perfecting and supplementing some structures, it will be a good piano piece. Why have I never heard this melody before? Hehe, I didn't arrive at Al Todd, never know how much music I haven't heard."

She didn't think it was created by Lucien, but felt that the music capital was full of surprises. After all, many new or unknown music were not delivered to the "Pearl of the Sea" so quickly.

"That gentleman's playing still has an unspeakable charm, and the timbre and sound quality of the piano are also very good. I'm starting to think about whether I should give up the harpsichord." Grace said eagerly.

…………

"Brother Lucien, why do you want to pay?" Ivan pointed at the restaurant in puzzlement, and he heard the very warm applause.

Just as Lucien was about to answer, he suddenly heard someone shout timidly from behind: "Mr. Evans."

"It's you? Are you still in Alto?" Lucien turned his head and saw that it was Lilith and Sara, brothers and sisters whom he suspected to have problems.
