Chapter 347: A Major Shift Unseen in 16 Years!
[Are you all shills?! How can you relate so many things just by listening to one piece of music??]
[That's too exaggerated, I've been listening to music for so many years, and I've never seen a piece make someone cry right from the start!]
[I refuse to believe it's because I lack empathy!]
[This is so fake! I don't feel anything at all!]
[Honestly, it's good to listen to, but it's not nearly as good as Maozi's previous piece!]
[...]
In the official live stream room of the Dragon Violin Cup.
As "Moonlight and Cat" reached its climax, more and more deeply touched netizens shared their experiences about "dreams".
However, this led to more rebuttals and attacks from others.
The less they could understand, the more furious they became when everyone else was praising it.
In fact, most of the netizens who couldn't empathize would calm down and listen to the music again, thinking they didn't listen carefully enough, after seeing others share their experiences.
On the surface, those attacking netizens seemed to oppose "Fan Circle Culture".
In reality, it was more out of a sense of shame and anger.
Why did it seem like everyone "understood" this obscure music except them?!
Why did everyone else derive such emotions from the piece, while they got nothing?!
Didn't this make their aesthetic ability look inadequate, like they couldn't enjoy the subtleties?!
This imbalance in mindset led to the polarized evaluations in the live stream room at the moment...
And at this moment,
as if they had anticipated the outcome.
In the final brilliant coda of the "Blue Danube".
Both Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu deliberately slowed down their performance, instead, enjoying this last stage.
They both had knowing smiles on their faces.
The vibrato amplitude of Gan Yanyu was precisely controlled within ±0.3mm of Lin Tian's manuscript, while using her heel to trigger the effects pedal.
The harmonics were converted in real-time into the quantum cloud timbre of an organ. This wasn't destruction, but rather revealing the god particles of classical music in a way akin to Higgs boson collisions.
In this soothing and gentle melody,
The piano and cello intertwined, spiraled, and confided in each other.....
"..."
In fact,
Lin Tian did not expect, at first, that Gan Yanyu's "adaptation" would have such a good effect.
This "Blue Danube" was originally created because Lin Tian saw the idea of the dream stage in Gan Yanyu's mind.
So when Gan Yanyu suggested incorporating her own ideas after the third section, Lin Tian quickly agreed.
This was Lin Tian's first time witnessing Gan Yanyu's talent in composition.
Her changes weren't significant, merely a re-arrangement based on the original score.
She added a quite stimulating climax to the always gentle piece.
Making the old notes gain more modern spirituality.
Thus,
This adaptation, originally just to inject Gan Yanyu's future vision,
unexpectedly...
Made the ancient score come alive!
It's like using a "Time-Space Displacer" to let the 19th-century river pour into a cyberpunk riverbed...
Suddenly,
All the musicians, audience present, followed Gan Yanyu's footsteps, and completed empathy in the scene depicted by the girl!
This, was all thanks to Gan Yanyu...
If it weren't for Gan Yanyu's "small selfish request," there definitely wouldn't be such deep emotions.
As for this emotion,
only those who can appreciate their classical music could experience it.
It was an easy thing to do!
.....
"Hahaha... As expected of Mr. Lin Tian and Ms. Gan Yanyu! Truly marvelous!"
In the closing stage of the music, Fengye, who had been holding back, finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He asked his partner Zhu Ye beside him,
"Do you remember before the piece started, we were questioning why Mr. Lin Tian and Ms. Gan Yanyu wouldn't change the piece?"
"Yeah."
Zhu Ye said,
"A lot of musicians who excel in classical music almost transformed to adapt to our stage—for the sake of all audiences."
This is understandable since no musician would want to instantly lose half of their audience! Surely, they'd choose a piece with a wider audience base, which provides an advantage on the stage.
"But Mr. Lin Tian and Ms. Gan Yanyu, instead of catering to this audience segment, performed such a piece..."
At this point, Fengye truly couldn't hold it anymore!
He was still maintaining a polite smile as a commentator, but the next second, he might burst out laughing!
He didn't continue, preserving the audience's dignity.
He feared that if he said more, these new viewers would break down! He personally might get fined as well.
——Not only did Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu not intend to change the piece to cater to these audiences, they even wrote such a piece to tease them!
The message was clear: My music is only for those who understand us!
As for the others... hehe, you're welcome to listen, but we take no responsibility for any negative emotions...!
"....."
Thinking back to their discussion about why they wouldn't change the piece before the performance, it became even more ironic.
They truly were geniuses!
Fengye couldn't help but sigh.
To be honest,
He... as an official commentator, felt a bit of... secret delight!
