Get the perfect music system at the start

Perhaps this first round is not like the second round of discussion, where people perform with their own country's musical instruments, but after all, every Chinese person represents China, and Xu Fan also knows that he can't say anything.

Right after Terence's performance, the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

It wasn't because Terrence's performance had overshadowed the entire audience, but because Terrence became the first musician recommended by the presenter to play that evening.

When asked by the host, he held his guitar, glanced at the crowd, and then looked at Xu Fan and said, "Music knows no borders. I think I play the guitar quite well, but tonight we have a guitar master whom I greatly respect. However, he is not sitting at the top, so I would like to invite him to the stage and hope that he can play a piece for everyone."

The host asked, "So, who would you like to invite?"

Terence looked at Xu Fan and said, "I would like to invite Master Xu Fan from China to perform on stage. I hope Master Xu Fan will not refuse."

===Chapter 340 Canon and Gigue in D===

Most of the people attending tonight's invitational event are familiar with the rules of previous invitational events.

So everyone knows that they're invited to perform, and although it's not explicitly stated, very few people would refuse.

The reason is simple: those who can perform in the first round are true masters. They invite those who cannot perform to give them a chance, and even if the performance is not good, no one will say anything.

Xu Fan is an outlier because he doesn't really understand the rules.

So he was somewhat surprised when he heard Terence's invitation. He originally intended to refuse, as performing on stage seemed inappropriate, especially since the guests tonight were all masters from various countries.

Before he could even speak, Greta tugged at his arm and said, "You can't refuse such an invitation?"

Xu Fan greeted Greta with a look of curiosity, only to hear her say, "I don't know why, but it just can't be done."

This left Xu Fan at a loss, while the host looked around and said in a friendly voice, "Where is Mr. Xu Fan from China? Would you be willing to come up on stage and perform?"

Xu Fan stood up, and with just this one action, a murmur of discussion instantly arose in the room.

"My goodness, so he really is Chinese. No wonder Miss Alice was sitting next to him. He played a piece called 'Für Elise' for Alice. That piece is so beautiful."

"There seem to be several masters in China, but to be honest, Mr. Xu Fan's 'Grand Jota' demonstrates an unparalleled mastery of the guitar. He incorporates all sorts of playing techniques into it. I really admire him."

"Mr. Terence actually invited Xu Fan. It seems the two have a close personal relationship. After all, this is a real opportunity to promote a star. With his recommendation, as long as the performance is not bad, he will surely be able to sit at the top of the next global invitation meeting."

"That makes sense. It's just that Xu Fan is so young, yet he can play both the piano and guitar so skillfully. It's truly remarkable."

The murmurs rose and fell, and Hu Tu and the others sitting at the top were also talking. Everyone else was discussing Xu Fan and who he was, or other questions, but Hu Tu's face was dark and his fists were clenched.

Xu Fan was unaware of what the others were thinking, nor did he notice Hu Tu's expression.

He looked at Terrence, thought for a moment, and then said, "Mr. Terrence, thank you for your invitation, but I think I..."

Before Xu Fan could refuse, the moment he made his decision, the entire room erupted in sighs, as if Xu Fan had missed something important.

Terence didn't let Xu Fan continue, but said instead, "Mr. Xu Fan, I believe you can give it a try. I really admire your several accordion pieces. The 'Für Elise' that you played for Miss Alice a few days ago was also a classic. Perhaps you could play it again."

Terence looked extremely serious, which surprised Xu Fan slightly. He didn't understand why Terence insisted on playing the instrument himself.

But it wasn't easy to refuse at this point, and Xu Fan also thought of another problem.

Hutu's performance just now received far less applause compared to Terence, who also played the guitar.

Perhaps I shouldn't have refused.

So he nodded and said, "Thank you for the invitation, Mr. Tyron."

Alice, flashing her pearly white teeth, said, "Good luck, Mr. Xu!"

Xu Fan nodded and smiled as he walked onto the stage. The murmurs of discussion resumed as Xu Fan, now young and handsome, appeared on stage. This young man with a Chinese face was none other than the composer who played "Für Elise" and "Grand Jota".

Excellent people always receive applause.

When Xu Fan stepped out of his seat, the audience erupted in thunderous applause.

This made Xu Fan a little embarrassed, his face turning slightly red. Although he was confident, he was still thinking to himself: Am I really that outstanding?

As Xu Fan walked onto the stage, he looked at Terence and said, "Mr. Terence's guitar playing is still as good as ever."

Terence smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, you flatter me. I still think your 'Romance of Love' is better. I've been studying it, but it's still not quite there yet."

With that, Terence said, "The stage is yours."

Xu Fan thanked them, and the host next to him, holding the microphone, said, "Oh my God, I really didn't expect Mr. Xu Fan to be so young."

Xu Fan smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment."

The host said, "I've heard that Mr. Xu plays both the guitar and the piano very well. I wonder if you're going to play a guitar piece or a piano piece?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Fan fell into deep thought.

Hutu played a guitar piece, and then Terence also played a guitar piece.

I was supposed to play a guitar piece myself, but most of the musicians in the audience were already getting tired of listening.

In addition, whether it's piano music or guitar music, he currently needs to purchase them from the Favor Value Mall. Xu Fan considered for a moment.

He suddenly remembered the news Frank had just mentioned.

The news about Nobik Town also made him subconsciously think of Xia Ziling.

Did Chen Yuanyuan go to Nobik Town because of Xia Ziling?

Where is Xia Ziling now?

When the question arose, Xu Fan subconsciously thought of a piece of music. Without hesitation, he chose to redeem it and then looked at the host and said, "I think I can play a piano piece."

As soon as he finished speaking, applause rang out again.

Xu Fan's "Für Elise" has been incredibly popular in Scotland these past few days, especially among musicians.

Therefore, when Xu Fan said he was going to play a piano piece, it certainly filled countless people with anticipation.

Terrence paused for a moment as he stepped off the stage, then laughed.

He had thought Xu Fan would play a guitar piece, but he never expected him to play a piano piece.

Actually, he wanted Xu Fan to perform not only because his own performance was better than Hu Tu's, but because he felt that Xu Fan was the one who should be sitting next to him. At least Xu Fan had the ability. But even though Xu Fan was a gem with high popularity, he had not been able to truly stand at the top.

It's not that they lack the ability, but rather that they lack the fame.

And tonight is just the right opportunity.

Xu Fan playing the piano amazed and intrigued countless people.

Greta said to Alice beside her in surprise, "Alice, perhaps Mr. Xu Fan is going to play that piece for you."

In fact, many people thought so at the time, believing that Xu Fan was going to play "Für Elise".

The host excitedly asked me, "Mr. Xu Fan, would you like to play the piece you wrote a few days ago as a birthday gift for Miss Alice, 'Für Elise'?"

Xu Fan shook his head and said, "No, it's a new song."

Cheers and applause erupted from the audience, and the host asked in surprise, "So, what is the name of Mr. Xu Fan's new piece?"

Xu Fan thought for a moment and said, "and GigueD"

===Chapter 341 Canon Form===

and GigueD

When Xu Fan uttered the name, the scene fell into a certain silence.

Because it's a completely unfamiliar term, there are some parts I don't understand. But the meaning behind the word seems quite clear.

A type of polyphonic music, originally meaning "rule" or "pattern".

The melody of one voice follows the other from beginning to end, until the last measure, the last chord, merging together to create a sacred atmosphere.

That seems to be the idea, but what kind of piece of music will it be?

All the music masters present were filled with anticipation.

The host said, "We look forward to your music, so please begin your performance."

As the host stepped off the stage, Xu Fan walked to the piano in the center of the stage and sat down. He didn't start playing immediately, but his mind drifted into the piece.

Xu Fan remembered the piece "Für Elise." In that parallel world, the composer's genius lay in taking something simple and simplifying it to the extreme, turning it into something beautiful. When that musician composed "Für Elise," he was so casual, yet it sounded so beautiful.

The simplest interpretation of this piece is "returning to simplicity," but tonight's rendition of "Canon" offers a different feeling.

Canon is not just the name of the piece, but more importantly, a way of playing it.

There's a story behind the creation of this piece that's hard to explain.

Xu Fan took a deep breath. Countless eyes were on Xu Fan, and the hundreds of people in the room were extremely quiet.

Xu Fan has had a fulfilling few days since arriving in Gran Country.

She played a piano piece and sang an English song.

He also really liked that English song, which was a classic interlude in a certain animated film in a parallel world.

And now, he is going to play another piano piece.

Xu Fan placed his hands on the piano and gently stroked it.

Everyone present waited quietly for the first note to be played.

Just then, Xu Fan gently closed his eyes, unconsciously immersing himself in the music.

It's hard to explain, but that's definitely how it feels.

His fingers could not be described as long and slender, but they were indeed extremely beautiful. When the first note of the piano was played, the audience fell silent.

Ding!

Boom!

Ding dong ding! Dong ding ding!

The Chinese name for this piece should generally be "Canon in D Major". However, in a parallel world, it is called "Canon" by countless people, mainly because "Canon" is the name of a musical form, and this piece is the most classic one of them.

When the piano music appeared on stage, the extreme silence drew everyone in.

The canon-style entrance was extremely stunning. Xu Fan used just a few simple notes in different tones to play a beautiful prelude.

The simple male melody appears in different parts at different pitches, such as unison or fifth, creating a continuous imitation that makes the piece extremely pleasant to listen to.

The soothing rhythm of the music made countless people slow down their breathing.

This piece is performed in a completely different way from "Für Elise".
