Chapter 330: Chapter 275: What is Nocturne

"(Oh! Nishikawa’s new work... it’s actually a Nocturne!)"

A pianist quickly expressed a delighted voice.

"(Choosing to perform an unreleased new piece at the finals? This is intended to directly win the championship and hype the upcoming new album!)"

"(Haha, as expected of Nishikawa Yuubei, always thinking about his new album sales!)"

The crowd, while admiring, was also making half-joking remarks.

...

Nocturne, a musical genre originated in the 19th century.

It is a musical form that began to develop and become widespread during the Romantic period.

Usually characterized by quiet, dreamy, and lyrical traits, suitable for listening in the evening or tranquil settings.

Its basic features are gentle melodies, quiet ambiance, and lyrical expression.

Due to its unique charm and profound emotions, providing a unique musical experience, the Nocturne isn’t broadly popular for many, more like a "niche treasure."

Few people write them, but occasional pieces can bring audiences a novel experience.

Right now, it’s about whether Nishikawa Yuubei’s "Nocturne" can bring such feelings to everyone.

"..."

Soon, Nishikawa Yuubei began his performance.

The music flowed like a small bridge’s water, melodious and lingering.

A harmonious and serene atmosphere enveloped the entire concert hall.

After just experiencing Du Bianwu’s ferocious Etudes, such gentle music certainly had a healing effect, providing a very comfortable auditory experience.

Just a piece of prelude, the sensation seemed to come together instantly.

"(Indeed, it’s Nishikawa; this piece is beautifully written.)"

"(Not only well-written, but Nishikawa’s piano skills are also quite something!)"

"(Such gentle music... This is Nishikawa’s real level! The Rhapsody at the preliminaries was obviously a misplay!)"

It was unclear whether this person was intentionally speaking to someone in the resting room, as the voice was clearly louder.

Yet, Lin Tian at this moment had no mind to listen to them.

He only felt awkward and restless....

Thinking about today’s competition, Nishikawa Yuubei had consistently shown goodwill towards him.

Made Lin Tian somewhat embarrassed.

He even tried hard using his broken Chinese to cheer him on several times!

At this moment, Lin Tian felt somewhat like a friend happily introducing his fiancée, and upon seeing her, realized it’s Miss Wu from the bathhouse he frequents – the Miss Wu he advised to change for the better and marry a decent guy quickly.

Feelings of guilt and awkwardness swept over him, difficult to explain, especially since he had enjoyed quite a few of her services.....

As the music reached its climax.

Nishikawa Yuubei closed his eyes, playing passionately!

"..."

Suddenly, the people in the resting room became excited.

"(So strong!!)"

The gentle and sweet melody resembled a sea of flowers.

Offering all its fragrance to every listener immersed in the piece.

Enchanting.

This music, carrying extreme romantic emotion, under Nishikawa Yuubei’s performance, demonstrated an unparalleled charm of Nocturne.

"(It’s beautifully written!!) "

Williams couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration,

"(I think, even compared to all Nishikawa’s works, it ranks in the top three.)"

Other people quickly made comments as well.

"(So the Rhapsody in the preliminaries was just setting up for a stunning reveal, waiting for today’s piece.)"

"(Looks like Nishikawa made thorough preparations for this finale!)"

Being a pianist as well.

Nishikawa Yuubei’s talent made everyone a bit jealous.

Why can one person, possessing such composing skills, also have such excellent performance skills?

And at this moment,

as Nishikawa Yuubei’s main competitor.

Even Alves Burke, who usually doesn’t talk much sitting in the corner,

couldn’t help but sigh:

"(This use of triplets and wave-shaped melody lines... it’s enough to be called a textbook for Nocturnes.)"

Nocturne, as not a very mainstream genre, has always had limited production in world music.

Those with renown are often long-established classical music.

Now witnessing such a beautiful Nocturne appearing.

Even as a competitor, Burke couldn’t help but admit.

This "Silent Gate" might become a representative work of contemporary Nocturnes.

"..."

As the performance concluded, Nishikawa Yuubei took to the stage to express gratitude.

In the resting room, people’s emotions remained unsettled, the admiration still echoed.

Lin Tian sat beside, listening to their entire discussion.

At that moment, he felt a bit dizzy.

This... this is a textbook?

Lin Tian listened to the piece, it was indeed good, but hearing their praise made him somewhat uneasy.

For a moment unsure whether it was his issue or the world’s issue.

Yet, hearing these voices made Lin Tian suddenly feel, as if it wasn’t so guilt-ridden after all.

"..."

Already no longer his time to think much.

It’s his turn to take the stage.

Upon leaving the resting room and entering the corridor, Lin Tian bumped into Nishikawa Yuubei who was returning.

"Mr. Lin Tian!"

Nishikawa Yuubei saw Lin Tian and cheerfully greeted him,

"How was it, Mr. Lin Tian? Did you watch the stage? How was my ’Silent Gate’?"

Nishikawa Yuubei plainly showcased pride; clearly, he was very satisfied with his work.

"Very good," Lin Tian said.

One should give credit where it’s due.

Aside from other things, Nishikawa Yuubei’s "Silent Gate" was indeed well-written, entirely utilizing the romantic traits of Nocturnes.

Plus, Nishikawa Yuubei’s top-level playing ability, presented a superb stage.

Earlier, the resting room’s pianists and the on-site audience, journalists - based on their reactions, all gave this piece very high evaluations.

"Ha ha, thank you!"

Hearing Lin Tian’s evaluation, Nishikawa Yuubei seemed quite happy.

He patted Lin Tian’s shoulder, saying,

"Good luck, Mr. Lin Tian, didn’t you say you prepared a niche piece? I will watch your performance and truly learn a thing or two."

"Indeed, learning well is needed," Lin Tian said.

Nishikawa Yuubei’s expression showed a bit of puzzlement, yet Lin Tian had already headed towards the stage.

"....."

While stepping onto the stage one step at a time, Lin Tian pondered one thing.

In this world, who was the one to create Nocturnes?

Lin Tian did not know.

But in a previous life.

Nocturne was an original musical form created by the Irish composer, John Field.

And those who truly cultivated the Nocturne, made it a widely influential genre... even in the future hundreds of years in the world, as soon as someone mentions the Nocturne, it brings to mind this person.

His name was—

Frederic Chopin.

In other words.

Without Chopin, perhaps even the "Nocturne" musical form might not have been preserved.

Lin Tian did not know through whom in this world people learned about Nocturnes.

But judging by people’s reactions earlier.

Seems... they do need to eat some bran husks.

"Next, Contestant No. 7, Lin Tian, will perform an original piece titled ’E-flat Major Nocturne’."

In a previous life, its full name was—

Chopin: ’Nocturne Op.9, No.2’
