All-rounder Artist-Chapter 884 - 832 Turning Point_2

Lin Yuan couldn't wait that long.

He directly handed the sheet music to Gu Xi.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

His heart inexplicably started racing.

Gu Xi hurriedly took the music and began to read!

She dared not show the slightest negligence toward Xian Yu's piano compositions!

Past collaborations had taught Gu Xi that whenever Xian Yu released a piano piece, it was bound to be extraordinary, not to mention that this time there were two.

"I'll start by demonstrating 'Nocturne in E-flat Major' for you."

Lin Yuan said, then seated himself at the piano in his office.

Lin Yuan's office was very spacious.

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.

The white piano was situated by the window.

"Thank you for the trouble."

Gu Xi said quickly.

Lin Yuan nodded, his fingers swept over the keys, and he began his performance.

Notes poured forth.

The tranquil melody, softly sounded.

As if in the silent night, a candle was suddenly lit, accompanied by the flickering glimmer.

Gu Xi compared the sheet music with Lin Yuan's performance.

Serenity and lyricism.

Melancholy and contemplation.

Unconsciously, Gu Xi became intoxicated.

She seemed to forget everything around her, even forgetting when the music had started, her eyes only reflecting an unusual splash of color.

An indescribable romantic atmosphere was quietly spreading.

It was a very unique charm.

Under Lin Yuan's fingertips, the piano began to chant poetically with its distinct voice.

The individuality of the music and the characteristics of the piano merged together like water and milk.

It appeared to be melancholy.

Like a lingering contemplation.

The rhythm was long and dreamlike.

In the piano's lower register, Lin Yuan's playing was fast then slow, unpredictable, as if a myriad of emotions were entwining!

His fingers danced upon the keys.

Unbeknownst to her, the steps became increasingly brisk.

This caused the piano's sound to grow more animated, as if it was spiraling upwards!

Within the intensifying melody, waves began to rise!

Excitement, sighs, exhilaration, and restlessness—a range of rich and subtle emotions emerged one after another in the music!

"Is this 'Nocturne'?"

The style of the night was so consistent, yet the mood within it was so different!

Nocturne!

Gu Xi stared at the name on the sheet music, the unusual hue in her eyes slowly blossoming, as if she were drunk!

And as the climax approached.

Her breathing became hurried, her chest heaving violently, and a flush quickly spread across her beautiful face!

It was as if her entire being was enveloped in a colossal shock!

"This is..."

With the sheet music in hand, matching it with the piano's melody.

Gu Xi's naturally gifted piano hands actually began to tremble!

A rondo form, andante, 12/8 time!

The right hand, throughout the decorative notes, maintained a luxuriant chant while the left hand provided a rhythmic accompaniment that preserved the same shape from beginning to end!

"Innovative?"

Not being a professional concert pianist, it was hard to understand the excitement Gu Xi was feeling now:

This piano piece turned out to be pioneering a whole new genre of piano solo!

This style differed from that of all current piano solo styles in the music scene!

What mattered most was the incredibly high quality of this piece!

Unlike 'Mariage d'Amour'.

The former was modern piano, but this was a typical classical piano piece!

The melody to her ears seemed calm, but underneath were surging undercurrents, painting a poetic beauty before Gu Xi's eyes and in her ears!

Yes, like poetry!

At that moment.

Lin Yuan, to Gu Xi's eyes, seemed like a piano poet, completely indulging in his talent!

At a certain change in the music.

Gu Xi even felt a sensation like alcohol numbing her heart, lungs, and scalp!

Goosebumps arose!

An unprecedented impact!

This impact was tremendous for any Blue Star pianist!

In the midst of these surging emotions, Gu Xi's mind flashed back to the various encounters she'd had since meeting Xian Yu.

At this moment, she felt fortunate!

Fortunate to have met Xian Yu; fortunate to have ultimately earned his favor; fortunate to have the honor to play the piece that Xian Yu was interpreting at this moment!

Suddenly.

The piano music stopped.

Lin Yuan turned to ask Gu Xi:

"How did it go?"

There was no immediate answer.

Gu Xi seemed to have lost herself in a moment of reverie, having forgotten when the piece began.

And just as she was inadvertently immersed in it to the point of intoxication, the music gradually ceased, stirring in her a myriad of reluctant feelings, wishing the performer would play it once more.

"How did it go?"

Lin Yuan had to ask again, "Can you play it?"

"Yes!"

Finally, Gu Xi snapped back to reality!

Her response was almost without any hesitation.

It was as if anyone who dared to compete with her for this piece would face her fierce determination!

Because Gu Xi knew!

This was a composition that could get her another invitation from the Golden Hall, stunning the entire piano world – a divine masterpiece!

This is Teacher Admirable Fish's level!

Expectations were high, yet she was still utterly astonished!

Realizing she might have acted inappropriately,

Gu Xi tried to calibrate her tone, "The structure of this piece is very unique. The first section has a dream-like, lingering melody; the second section is passionate, expressing a myriad of emotions; and the third section returns to a calm atmosphere. Is this an unprecedented and unheard-of composition form, a brand-new style created by Teacher Admirable Fish himself?"

"Uh-huh."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Without Chopin's world, he certainly had to accept this title.

This was something he was very familiar with, no need to be pretentious, otherwise, it would seem duplicative and self-defeating.

"Alright, the first piece is roughly like this; now try the 'Nocturne in B-flat minor.'"

Lin Yuan stated, then gave up his seat.

Hearing what Lin Yuan suggested, Gu Xi almost immediately sat down at the piano.

She had been eager to start!

But less than thirty seconds into the second piece, Gu Xi's mood was stirred once again!

The quality of this piece was hardly inferior to the first!

The two pieces Teacher Admirable Fish brought out today were absolutely divine works!

Gu Xi treasured them like the most precious gift!

Her performance, of course, was not smooth sailing.

Gu Xi even stumbled occasionally, far from the fluidity Lin Yuan had just displayed.

It wasn't that Gu Xi's skills were inferior to Lin Yuan's.

It was just that this was her first time seeing the pieces, so she wasn't as practiced.

Lin Yuan, on the other hand, had memorized the scores by heart and could play fluently without looking at them.

But that's besides the point.

Lin Yuan didn't expect her to play perfectly.

He just needed to get a general feel for how well Gu Xi could handle them.

Ten minutes later.

Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction, trusting in Gu Xi's skill: "Go back and practice thoroughly. You must finish recording before the end of the month."

"No problem!"

Gu Xi nodded vigorously!

Actually, she didn't even need Lin Yuan's reminder.

Even if it meant going without sleep, she would master these two pieces!

If Teacher Admirable Fish weren't satisfied and sought another pianist for collaboration, she would have nowhere to cry!

"Truly worthy of Chopin's 'Nocturne.'"

Lin Yuan saw Gu Xi's excitement and wasn't surprised.

As a signature work of Chopin, the 'Nocturne' could awe any piano master.

And as the musical idol most admired by Director Zhou, Chopin wasn't called the "poet of music" for nothing. Though he was sickly and not well-suited to perform grand, loud works, his delicate emotions and jewel-like musical changes were the charming qualities of the 'Nocturne.'

…

In the following days.

Gu Xi contacted Lin Yuan from time to time, reporting her practice progress with unprecedented enthusiasm.

Meanwhile.

The TV series "Lotus Lantern" was broadcast in an orderly fashion, its popularity rising, firmly securing the number one spot on the hotlists of the three major video websites.

Lin Yuan also kept an eye on this.

He knew the turning point of the show was coming soon.

Sure enough.

That day, the latest episode of "Lotus Lantern" aired.

Chenxiang finally learned of his own background!

Immediately, he harbored the thought of rescuing his mother, the Third Goddess, to reunite his family.

However.

Yang Jian, who had been caring and warm towards Chenxiang, turned cold upon learning of his nephew's intentions!

He not only refused to support Chenxiang but blocked his rescue plan at every turn!

To dissuade Chenxiang from his mission, he even went as far as to hurt those close to Chenxiang!

Cold!

Heartless!

In that moment, Yang Jian seemed to revert to that unrecognizable Judiciary God from the first episode, the one who didn't acknowledge any kin and forcibly suppressed his sister, the Third Goddess!

On major forums.

This plot twist suddenly sparked a huge controversy!
