But at this moment, everyone, whether they were locals from Gran or celebrities and businessmen from other countries who came to celebrate Alice's birthday, became extremely quiet.

Alice's eyes showed anticipation. She had loved the piano since she was a child, so she could understand piano compositions.

The piece Xu Fan gave her seemed simple, but it would definitely sound beautiful when played. Most importantly, she wanted to know how to play Xu Fan's song even better.

After quietly adjusting a few notes, Xu Fan smiled and said, "It's Alice's birthday today. Here's a song called 'First for Alice,' hoping that Alice can always be carefree and happy."

===Chapter 333 Dedicated to Alice===

To attend Alice's birthday party, Xu Fan wore the suit he had originally planned to wear to a musicians' exchange event.

At this moment, he sat there quietly, his eyes revealing no particular emotion, but his quiet demeanor caused many people in the room to subconsciously fall silent.

The piano is quiet; at least most piano melodies carry a special sense of tranquility, drawing the listener into that unique feeling.

Xu Fan's movements were very gentle; he pressed the first piano key as if he had just done something suddenly.

The piano music began, just a simple prelude, and everyone in the audience looked surprised.

Using "it sounds so good" might be a bit of an exaggeration, since the music has only just begun.

But everyone agrees that Xu Fan's playing is excellent; at least the unique emotion conveyed in the melody brings joy to the listener.

When the system rewarded Xu Fan, he immediately fell in love with the piece of music.

The simple ABACA melody makes this piece very comfortable to play. Whether you are a beginner or a piano master, you can easily learn this piece and master it quickly.

The simplicity of this piece is like that of a rhyming jingle, easy to remember and recite.

Most of the audience here are not piano virtuosos, but there are certainly some who are extremely skilled at playing the piano.

For example, Mr. Zheng, Mr. Zhou, or Martin and his father.

They all have a very deep understanding of the piano.

Therefore, when Xu Fan played such a beautiful piece with such a simple rhythm, everyone showed expressions of surprise and shock.

A great piano composer is far superior to a performer.

A pianist who has practiced for many years could easily play such a simple melody, but the key is that asking him to compose such a simple piece would be harder than climbing to heaven.

Therefore, when Xu Fan's music was played, everyone was shocked and moved.

Xu Fan's piano playing remained the same, a simple melody, occasionally repeating the notes, but the rhythm was getting faster and faster.

Alice had seen the sheet music, and it seemed that the song "Dedicated to Alice" was written specifically for her, or perhaps it was written for her.

Alice thought to herself, filled with gratitude, and she admired Xu Fan even more. At such a young age, he was already a piano master, and more importantly, he could compose such beautiful pieces.

Boss Zhou and Old Zheng exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

This piece is simple and intimate, using simple melodies and notes to depict the gentle and beautiful image of the female protagonist, as if Xu Fan has endless words of affection to say to her.

The alternating use of arpeggios by both hands is like two people having an intimate conversation; the collision between the melodies seems to be constantly playing out a special mood.

As soon as the first part ended, Xu Fan's hand movements suddenly quickened, instantly transforming from tender whispers into a pleasant conversation, accompanied by smooth, cheerful, and gorgeous music.

Old Zheng's eyes were fixed on Xu Fan's hands. The most important thing for a piano master is the coordination of his hands.

Xu Fan's hands were nimble and light. When he played the first phrase, he saw Xu Fan's right hand lightly playing ornaments and dotted sixteenth notes, making the melody lively, as if it were the bright and cheerful tone of a young girl.

Meanwhile, the left hand plays arpeggios smoothly and fluently, gently and intimately, as if the male protagonist is constantly responding to his lover's whispers.

It's not clear whether the emotion here is romantic or not, but the blessing in the melody is exceptionally clear, and anyone can hear it clearly. From slow to fast tempo, the entire piano piece seems so simple.

When the fast tempo appears, the melody suddenly becomes more joyful, with the right hand playing densely broken chords in the thirtieth-second notes, as if a young girl is emitting bursts of silvery laughter.

Xu Fan played the piano earnestly, but the room was extremely quiet.

Everyone was captivated by Xu Fan's piano playing. The simple and unpretentious melody drew everyone in. As the melody quickened to the third tempo, the sudden shift in the melody felt like a dramatic change in emotions.

The melody builds up layer by layer from beginning to end, and an irrepressible passion burns like a flame.

The first sentence, sustained on the same low note, is like the protagonist's heartbeat, or a special emotion, sincere and firm. The clear high notes combined with the powerful sustained notes of the left hand make one seem to hear the protagonist's passionate declaration, see his deep and powerful eyes, and feel his unwavering determination.

Xu Fan's expression was profound, and his three-minute rendition of "Für Elise" was like a piece of music of ultimate perfection, captivating every listener and leaving them unable to extricate themselves.

Good music always attracts music lovers.

When the music ends, the piece returns to its previous section, and the melody from the beginning reappears for the last time.

As the music softens, it's as if a pair of lovers, hand in hand, are frozen in time amidst the fading melodies. The exact meaning remains unclear, but the melody, carrying a gentle blessing, captivates everyone, leaving them wanting more.

But the music eventually came to an end, when Xu Fan's last note fell.

The silence at the scene did not return immediately, but continued for a long time.

clap clap clap!

Finally, applause broke out.

Then, countless rounds of applause followed, lasting for a long time.

"Oh my god, this piece is so beautiful! I think the title is 'First to Alice'. Oh, Miss Alice is so lucky. This piece is so lovely."

"What does it mean to be short and concise? Perhaps this piece of music can prove it. It's only three minutes long, but I feel like I want more."

"Same here, I also feel like I haven't had enough. I really want to listen to it again. It's so good."

"Mr. Xu Fan, you truly deserve to be called the youngest piano master in China. This piece is unparalleled; it's so beautiful."

There was a great deal of discussion at the scene, after all, this piece of music is indeed extremely classic. Even Boss Zhou said in amazement, "If this piece of music hadn't been written for Alice, I would have thought that Mr. Xu wrote it for someone else. To be honest, this piece of music is really extremely beautiful."

Old Zheng, standing beside him, also remarked with emotion: "Mainly, don't you think this week's piece is very simple? It's that kind of simple and beautiful music that goes back to basics. Although it's simple, it's extremely beautiful."

Mr. Zhou nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case.

At this moment, our protagonist Alice's face was slightly flushed and there were tears in the corners of her eyes.

Xu Fan's song brought tears to her eyes and gave her a feeling of being surrounded by happiness. It was a feeling that was hard to describe, but she definitely felt it.

Compared to Xu Fan's compositions, the music Martin's father wrote for him was truly...

Actually, Temple's playing wasn't bad either, but compared to Xu Fan's, the difference was really obvious.

This is not disrespect for Temple, but simply the truth.

In fact, Temple's face was also red at this moment, but it was completely different in nature from Alice's blush.

He simply couldn't understand how a young man from China could play a piano piece so simply, yet evoke such a unique feeling.

While the concept of returning to simplicity may not apply to music, a Chinese person would certainly find it very insightful.

Making simple things perfect is perhaps the essence of Xu Fan's song "Für Elise."

He had thought that after Xu Fan finished playing, the piece would be mediocre, and then he would play his revised version, which would surely amaze the audience. However, the results were often not ideal.

Xu Fan's piece has been recognized by most people; in fact, many people subconsciously find it pleasant to listen to.

So the applause was constant, and the discussion never stopped.

Xu Fan stood up, bowed slightly in thanks, and said, "Thank you."

Then he looked at Alice and said, "Happy birthday, Miss Alice."

Alice was filled with excitement. With a smile on her face, she ran over, stood in front of Xu Fan, looked up at him, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xu."

Alice actually bowed seriously, which surprised Xu Fan, but the applause from the audience became even more intense.

Xu Fan helped Alice up and said, "I hope you like this piece of music."

Alice smiled and said, "I really like it."

Just then, Boss Zhou, who was sitting not far away, stood up, walked up to Xu Fan and said, "Mr. Xu, you are truly a hidden talent. This piece of music is truly amazing."

Xu Fan smiled and said, "Sir, you flatter me. If there is anything I played poorly, please point it out."

Mr. Zhou shook his head and said, "I certainly can't offer any guidance. You, like my old friend, are just too modest."

Old Zheng, standing to the side, blushed slightly but smiled and said, "Humility is a tradition of our Chinese nation."

Mr. Zhou nodded and said, "In Grand Country, sometimes you have to be more confident."

Xu Fan smiled and said, "Thank you."

At Alice's birthday banquet, Xu Fan's rendition of "Dedicated to Alice" amazed the entire audience, eliciting gasps of astonishment and cheers from countless people.

Martin's prized gemstone necklace, despite costing a fortune, didn't make much of a splash; at most, it garnered a few exclamations of amazement when it was first given away.

But no one remembered it after that. However, the piece Xu Fan played quickly became popular on various software platforms in the country through some channels.

In particular, the image of Xu Fan sitting in front of the piano in a suit and playing earnestly attracted the love and admiration of countless netizens and fans after it was posted online.

Not only was the music great, but the young Chinese man was also incredibly handsome.

Subsequent reports confirmed that the Chinese person who played "Alice" was the creator of the two songs that had become viral online.

Xu Fan's fame skyrocketed overnight.

After his birthday dinner, Xu Fan naturally returned to his hotel to rest and prepare for the rest of his trip.

Unbeknownst to him, some things were gradually unfolding without his knowledge.

===Chapter 334 New Song Release===

The weather in Gran Country is unpredictable.

A light drizzle fell on every corner of the city.

At Alice's birthday party, Xu Fan's rendition of "Dedicated to Alice" began to spread in high society and became increasingly popular.

Then, it became an unstoppable trend. Countless music lovers and pianists learned about this piece through various channels, and naturally, their praise for Xu Fan increased.

This piece is simple and easy to learn, just like Xu Fan's guitar piece "Tick Tock" played in China. "Für Elise" has also been imitated by countless people.

Alice herself was also captivated by the music, and with the help of the sheet music and banquet videos given to her by Xu Fan, she began to study it continuously.

Mr. Zhou watched Alice's back as she played the piano intently. He wanted to go up and say hello, but in the end, he remained silent.

The butterfly effect is very common in this world. Any event can attract some people, and the sensation caused by Xu Fan's piece is no less than that of his previous guitar piece, "Grand Jota".

But it is precisely because of the difference between these two pieces that countless people are even more curious about this Chinese man.

Whether it's guitar or piano, he plays so well, and most importantly, he always composes his own music, which is something no one can match.
