Two hours of time, drinking a cup of tea is definitely a waste of time, but it seems too little for creating a waltz! Rogers' classmate was sweating profusely and scratching his head. It was obviously very difficult for him to create a waltz in two hours.
Looking at Zhao Mingluo again, although his expression was still calm, Li Wenzai found that his hands were slightly trembling.
Finally, when I look at Rogers, this guy seems to have finished his creation, his face full of pride, and he seems to be sure to win.
A guy who doesn't know how to live or die!
"Two hours are here!" the classmate in charge of the timing said loudly.
Rogers' classmate breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the chair. To him, this sound was simply an angel's voice.
Zhao Mingluo shook his head slightly and put down his pen, showing an unwilling look on his face. Li Wenzai knew that he had no confidence in his works. However, he was already very good at creating a waltz in such a short time.
When I came to the concert hall, there were already many people sitting here. Many people even heard of such a competition and came here specially.
The band was ready, and Rogers smiled at Zhao Mingluo and said, "Zhao, should you come first or I come first?"
Zhao Mingluo said in a deep voice: "Whatever you want, just decide."
Rogers pretended to be generous and said, "Then let me do it first. After all, I not only completed the creation in two hours, but also completed the arrangement. You can take advantage of this time to arrange your songs for a while, otherwise it will be very difficult to perform after a while."
This guy, is this showing off?
But Rogers made those Austrian classmates very proud. This is Austrian music genius. Not only did he complete the creation in two hours, he also completed the arrangement!
After handing the copied scores to the members of the band, Rogers walked onto the conductor's seat by himself, and he wanted to conduct himself!
Li Wenzai also admires Rogers very much. He not only knows how to compose music, but also conducts. He is really versatile. At least he can't command himself.
Rogers waved his baton in his hand and the music started.
To be honest, Rogers' composition skills are pretty good. The rhythm of this song is bright and gives people a feeling of elegant and romantic.
Even if it was not created within two hours, it was created by him.
The students below and some teachers from the music school were listening carefully. Many teachers were nodding and appreciating, and the students looked full of admiration.
Some female students looked at Rogers waving the baton intoxication, as if they regarded him as a prince charming.
Helen stood beside Zhao Mingluo, holding his arms tightly with her hands and biting her lips with her teeth. She was struggling. Both of them had a deep relationship with her, and the reason why their relationship was so stiff was because of her.
Whether Rogers wins or Zhao Mingluo wins, it is a bit difficult for her to accept.
The last note ends, and the whole music ends.
Wow~~! Warm applause sounded, and everyone was applauding Rogers.
"Well done, Rogers! He is worthy of being a talented musician from a music family!"
"Rogers, you are so awesome, you are the pride of our Austria!"
"Rogers, I love you!"
Next, it was Li Wenzai and the others' turn, just to see if Zhao Mingluo or Li Wenzai went up. When Zhao Mingluo was about to stand up, Li Wenzai stood up first and smiled and said, "Brother Zhao, don't have to do it first. Let me do it first. If I can't win, you will go up. If I win by chance, Sister Helen will be more relaxed."
Helen could understand what Li Wenzai meant and immediately smiled at Li Wenzai gratefully.
Zhao Mingluo also knew the pain of Helen being sandwiched between him and Rogers, and did not persist after hearing Li Wenzai's words.
Rogers sarcastically said, "What, Zhao, don't you dare to come up? It's so insidious to find a scapegoat to come up!"
Li Wenzai didn't like him and yelled coldly: "Rogers, right? Do you think you're sure to win and feel very good about yourself?"
Rogers's face changed and said, "Why do I feel it's my own business? It has nothing to do with you! If you want to compete, hurry up and don't play tricks here. If your music is not done well, it will be useless no matter how much you say."
Li Wenzai applauded and said, "Well said, I agree very much! Since you know it yourself, why did you say so much just now?"
Rogers' face suddenly turned black.
Li Wenzai ignored him and came to the stage to hand over the score to the members of the band. The members of the band didn't care much about it, and even felt a little disgusted. What good music can you, a little guy, create. For them, playing some low-quality music is simply a torture!
But when they took the music score, they suddenly became extremely shocked!
After playing music all year round, they naturally have some skills in appreciating music. They can see at a glance what good music is and what bad music is!
Just like Li Wenzai's music score, they could tell at a glance that this is a classic masterpiece that can be passed down through the ages!
They could not believe their eyes. A young man from the Great Empire could create such a classic waltz in two hours!
Genius, this is the real genius!
Rogers didn't know what they were shocked, but thought they were shocked that the music created by Li Wenzai was too bad, so he immediately sneered proudly.
Li Wenzai ignored Rogers' sneer and said to the band conductor: "Let's start."
The band conductor was also very excited and honored to be able to conduct the band to play such a classic waltz.
Some people may have heard of waltz, but they don’t know what kind of music the waltz is. If they say it has another name, maybe they will understand, waltz!
Yes, the waltz is just waltz.
"The Blue Danube" was written by John Strauss Jr., the king of Austrian waltz, and is also the most famous of all his waltzs.
This waltz is an orchestral piece, with gorgeous, bright, lively and easy to understand.
The structure of this waltz is a typical Viennese waltz, consisting of a prelude, five small waltzs and an epilogue.
At the beginning of the preface, the violin lightly played with a broken bow, just like the dawn of dawn clearing away the mist on the river surface, awakening the sleeping earth. Against the backdrop of this background, the horn blows out the main tone of the whole song.
Next are 5 small walts played together, each small walts containing 2 theme melodies that compare with each other.
The theme of the first waltz A, the lyrical and bright melody, the relaxed and lively rhythm, and the sound that responds to the main melody are full of joy, making people feel that the breath of spring has arrived at the Danube; the theme B is relaxed and bright, as if it is a praise for the Danube in spring.
The melody of the 2nd Waltz Part 1 jumps, ups and downs, and advances layer by layer. It is refreshing and lively, giving people a sense of vitality; the 2nd part seems graceful and tactful, in contrast to the 1st part.
The theme A of the third waltz is characterized by beauty, elegance, dignity and stability; the theme B has the characteristics of fluidity, which enhances the dance nature and presents a carnival dance scene.
The theme A of the fourth waltz is beautiful and moving, and full of singing; theme B emphasizes the rhythm of the dance and is passionate and unrestrained, which contrasts with theme A.
The theme A of the 5th Waltz is echoing, soft and warm; theme B is a passionate and jubilant piece of music, forming the whole song.
Finally, the ending of the chorus, which is relatively short and quickly ends in a warm atmosphere; while the ending of the orchestral music is larger in scale, it recreates the main themes of the 3rd, 2nd, and 4th waltz in turn, and then reproduces the main tone of the prelude of the music, and then ends the whole song in a warm and jubilant atmosphere.
The students and teachers in the concert hall were intoxicated by the beautiful music that sublimated the soul, and they could finally feel this feeling at this moment.
The music seemed to have left the concert hall with their consciousness, left the music academy, and came to the beautiful Danube River.
Chapter completed!
