CHAPTER 419: CHAPTER 315: "FATE SYMPHONY_2

...

...

"Next, let’s welcome our special guest—"

"Cosmic Flying Pig Band!"

After Lin Tian stood at the front of the stage and officially announced to the audience.

As the lights gathered at the entrance, the audience in front erupted.

"There’s actually a guest!"

"Who?? Cosmic Flying Pig??"

"Whoa, could it be the band I’m thinking of?!"

"Ah, they’re really famous in Japan, did Mr. Moonlight bring them here?"

"Oh my God, this is truly a dream collaboration!"

At the scene,

many Japanese audience members, upon hearing this name, stood up excitedly from their seats.

They did not expect that at a concert of Tian Chao musicians in a foreign land, they would see a Japanese band appear.

This, without mentioning, felt so familiar.

....

Amidst everyone’s eager anticipation.

The five-member band officially took the stage.

They were dressed appropriately and formally, striding with serious steps!

On seeing the five members’ appearance, many fans on site could barely believe their eyes.

"No way... is this Cosmic Flying Pig?"

"Ah?? How did my hot chick Kana get dressed up like this?!"

"No, what did Mr. Moonlight do to them?"

"I can hardly recognize this look."

The five made no unnecessary movements, nor showed any expressions. They seemed well-trained, and as soon as they got on stage, they walked straight to one side of the stage, ready and waiting.

And the Aier Orchestra, in charge of accompaniment, was like a group of wooden stakes sitting there, motionless, their expressions solemn.

Their hands controlled the instruments, as if gathering power, and before the conductor issued commands, they would take no action.

The atmosphere... had an indescribable eeriness.

Very soon, many of the audience who had just been grinning and laughing slowly stopped.

Anyone could sense the solemnity on stage at this moment.

As Lin Tian sat down at the piano.

Gan Yanyu picked up the bow.

In the quietly still audience, someone couldn’t help but ask the person next to them:

"What’s the name of this piece....."

The next second—

A powerful string sound resounded!

Bringing with it a huge, pressing, and irresistible sense of oppression!

Suddenly,

Zhang Dong, sitting in the front row, broke out in a cold sweat.

"Wait! What piece is this?!"

.....

"Fate Symphony"

The representative work of the German composer Beethoven.

There’s no exceeding with any words of praise for this piece.

As a classic in the world’s music treasury.

Its status in the history of world music is widely considered one of the most important works in classical music, with innovations in harmony, structure, and orchestration that have had a profound effect on later composers.

Choosing this piece was something Lin Tian had given much thought to.

Because this piece, whether in its historical status or its significance, is too important.

It can be said:

As long as classical music is discussed.

No one can bypass the ’Fate Symphony’!

When to present this piece became the only thing Lin Tian needed to consider.

And in perhaps the largest-scale national classical concert to date.

On a day that was significant for both him and Gan Yanyu.

Lin Tian believed.

Having the ’Fate Symphony’ appear at this moment.

Seems to be the best choice.

...

Gan Yanyu’s cello continued to play.

The woodwinds and brass joined in from the orchestra, forming more complex melodic lines.

The music gradually became richer, intensifying the sense of tension, and the weaving of various instruments made the layers of music deeper.

With coordinated layers.

In this music full of urgency.

All the audience’s hearts couldn’t help but come to a standstill.

They stared at the stage in a daze.

So breathtaking!

Zhang Dong couldn’t help clenching his fists,

What kind of Symphony is this?!

What kind of mindset does it take to create such a piece?!

....

Lin Tian closed his eyes, focusing on playing.

’Fate Symphony.’

It was composed during Beethoven’s middle age.

At that time, it was when Beethoven’s hearing problems had reached their most severe point.

For a musician.

Nothing could be more cruel than taking away his hearing.

At that time, Beethoven had to face such a mocking and unjust fate, while his personal life also encountered many difficulties, including a battle for custody of his nephew Karl, and a worsening of his health.

Imagine.

In how many nights of torment.

Beethoven kept playing the piano, kept playing....

In this way... little by little, he felt his hearing getting worse day by day.

Every keystroke seemed to come at the cost of his hearing.

Until... nothing could be heard anymore.

In this process.

Beethoven endured immense pain, and his music gradually turned dark.

Finally!

The ’Fate Symphony’ was born from this.

Encompassed within this piece is Beethoven’s merciless denunciation of fate!

Clearly a composer.

Why take away his right to hear sounds?!

.....

It is not simply a piece that describes suffering and sorrow.

It is anger, resistance, the will to fight against fate, and the unyielding sound!

Perhaps,

people, in the testing education system, have heard too many so-called inspiring Western biographical stories of resistence against fate.

These stories often carry strong educational significance, and are a mix of truth and falsehood, without clear meaning.

They make one utterly drowsy, uninterested, and, after hearing too many, easily desensitized to it.
