Chapter 146 The second movement
After Catherine listened, she covered her half-opened mouth, and then said in surprise:
"You, are you crazy! I don't want a layman like you to defile the music!" Catherine said to Mr. Corolla's butler, "please drive this vulgar man out!"
Benjamin hardly wanted to scan Catherine with his side.
He just repeated to Corolla, who was silent, "Mr. Corolla, what do you think?"
Corolla straightened out the black tie on her chest, and then said softly, "Actually, your suggestion is not impossible. However, Lucian once told me that you have no musical foundation. Maybe you just love it. Music, I understand this feeling, but you may imagine music too simple." Corolla seems to be looking for some more euphemistic words. When he speaks, his eyes will look to the ceiling from time to time.
"For example, I am going to ask you now, what kind of instrument do you know? Or, you are going to sing in front of me, the Beatles or the West Side Boys?
When Corolla said so, almost everyone laughed. In their eyes, pop music is far less orthodox and elegant.
However, Benjamin was not angry. It seemed that after knowing the final outcome of many things, Benjamin became much calmer.
"Sir, I always thought I was smart. Well, I'm not kidding. I studied the piano for a while last night. If you don't mind, I can try it here."
Corolla glanced at Benjamin, then turned to smile."No problem, sometimes competition and eagerness are both forms of learning. Just don't forget your heart."
What a reasonable nonsense!This thought in Benjamin's heart, but under Catherine's eyes that seemed to be able to emit flames, she sat down in front of the piano.
Benjamin began to recall what Mr. Dvorak had said to him that day.
"For a musician, the piano is like his weapon and his life. You are a magician, right, it must be like your magic wand. You have to love it, understand it, and try to talk to it. ."
Benjamin smiled slightly, then wiped the keys carefully with a tissue.
I have to say that although Benjamin is still a little young, when he puts on a suit and sits solemnly in front of the piano, he exudes an elegant and melancholy breath.
There are already quite a few girls looking at their hands clenching fists, as if they saw their prince.
Catherine rubbed her eyes, she would never admit that she was fascinated by Benjamin for a moment.
"This is an illusion, it must be an illusion! He is just pretending, I want to see how you would play the piano!"
Catherine thought a little gloating.
Mr. Corolla sat opposite Benjamin. He seemed to be looking at his piano sheet indifferently, and then he was looking at Benjamin from his side.
He was certain that Benjamin did not know his identity.Indeed, as long as you are a normal person, how can you associate the graceful and frail Mr. Corolla with an evil wizard?
This is really shocking.
It's just that Mr. Corolla never thought that Benjamin would still like music.
According to their original plan, they wanted to wait for the man's return two weeks later, and then they would attack Benjamin.
As for the opportunity to start, they haven't figured it out yet, but there is always a way when the time is up, right?
Unexpectedly, Benjamin ran into it himself.
Mr. Corolla was very excited when he thought that he could take Benjamin, who made his master quite curious, to go back and do meritorious services.To tell you the truth, the blood in Corolla's body is already boiling.
As for whether Benjamin can play music or the piano, he has no interest at all!
By the way, he really hoped that this niece would shut up, and really wanted to feed Catherine to magical creatures!
Benjamin didn't know what these people thought, and he didn't want to know, his mind was full of what Dvorak had told him that day.
"You can try to play my "Since New World", of course, "Symphony in D major" is also good."
This is Dvorak’s suggestion to Benjamin in the selection of music.
Benjamin thought about it, but he chose the latter.
The former is too famous, it is really difficult for him to be brilliant in such a short time.The latter, as one of Dvořák's nine major symphonies, is equally good and easier to shine. This is indeed a flattering approach for Benjamin.
"Sir, what I am going to play now is the second movement of "Symphony in D Major"."
Benjamin said slowly.
And Benjamin's question also brought Mr. Corolla back from his thinking. In fact, if he were to be removed as a wizard, Corolla would indeed be a rare musical genius.
But he chose to follow Grindelwald.(The first generation of big devil, now in prison)
"Oh, okay, what? You said you want to play the second movement. It was a weird decision."
Indeed, compared to the second movement, the fourth movement is even more exciting as the final piece.
And Benjamin took out the rhetoric he had prepared long ago, "The more plain, the more you can see a person's skill."
At this time, Catherine was about to cry, and she would never believe that Benjamin could play the piano!And she knows the difficulty of Dvorak's symphony!
This vulgar man, what is he thinking in his mind, isn't he afraid that he will be laughed at after he blows so loudly?
Benjamin ignored the others, but put his slender fingers on the piano and started playing.
At the beginning of the song, people were suddenly taken aback, feeling empty of mind, as if they had come to a beautiful fairyland.
The fluttering tremolo, the final sound processed to the extreme, with the release of the piano's delicate sound, people almost forget where they are. They only feel that they are in a piece of soft warm water, as if they are stepping on a cloud flock of peace and tranquility.
In the eyes of many people, the second movement of "D Major" is the most common section of the whole piece.Not as arousing and brisk as the first movement, not as humorous as the third movement, and even less exciting than the fourth movement.However, it is just such a seemingly gentle and ordinary piece of adagio, but it seems to have life in Benjamin's hands, making people feel the peace of the soul.
At that moment, Benjamin seemed to have merged with Dvorak.
