If "Für Elise" pursues simplicity and tranquility, then this "Canon" seeks a similar yet slightly different sense of beauty.

The similarities lie in the fact that both pieces are extremely quiet and possess an indescribable sense of tranquility. The slight differences stem from the fact that the music of "Canon" is primarily played using varying pitches to create highs and lows, resulting in a continuous and controlled emotional flow.

Xu Fan's emotional playing technique was so skillful it was almost unbelievable; every keystroke was fluid and natural.

As the melody continued to play, everyone in the audience listened silently.

Some people started whispering among themselves, especially when the music reached a certain height in each section, the whispers rose and fell.

The musical atmosphere conveyed in this piano piece is truly extraordinary.

At the global musicians' invitational event, most of the participants were skilled pianists, but at this moment, they were deeply captivated by Xu Fan's rendition of "Canon in D".

"Oh my god, this is so beautiful! I feel like my ears are pregnant!"

"My God, what a piece of music I just heard! A classic piano piece in the form of a canon! It's so beautiful!"

"Did Xu Fan compose this music himself? Is it an original piece? Why have I never heard it before? It's so beautiful, it's just too beautiful."

"The pleasant melody makes people feel happy. This piece is truly a classic of Canon."

The special feature of the canon form is that it never ends and remains silent.

From the first section to the second, each section repeats the same melody, played at different pitches.

Until the very end... the very last measure, the very last chord, they will merge together, never to be separated.

The music is so tender and lingering, it's like two people following each other through life and death.

A piece of music written using the canon technique is called a "canon." Although the piece played by Xu Fan does not have the dramatic ups and downs or the breathtaking moments of Romantic works, it resonates with a variety of tonal effects in its seemingly repetitive and ordinary progression.

The ordinary rhythm pulses with ever-changing vitality, captivating and calming like an angel.

As the piano music continued, Terence sat there, watching Xu Fan's back as he played the piano, and couldn't help but nod and mutter to himself, "A true musical genius can play classic pieces effortlessly. This 'Canon' is no less significant to the piano than the 'Grand Jota' is to the guitar."

Xu Fan couldn't hear Terence's praise; he was completely focused on playing the piece.

Ding ding ding ding ding ding

Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding

The piano music suddenly sped up, and the changes in pitch within the melody made the rhythm seem even more abrupt, but it also made it even harder to fathom the unique emotions conveyed.

Everyone could clearly see Xu Fan playing the instrument with such focus.

That's the demeanor of a true piano master, completely absorbed and focused on the task at hand.

"China has actually produced a true piano master. It's incredible, truly incredible."

"China has never had any outstanding piano masters, but it seems that this situation needs to change."

"To be honest, even 'Für Elise' deserves the title of a piano master, let alone this 'Canon' which is so experienced."

"The melody is speeding up, but for some reason, I feel inexplicably sad because of the change in the melody."

Whispers arose from the musicians below the stage, and the twenty-odd top masters at the front all wore expressions of shock.

Martin, the piano prince, and his father were sitting below, watching Xu Fan play and listening to his music, both of them with bitter expressions on their faces.

If "Für Elise" only made them feel that Xu Fan was too high-profile, after all, such a piece was indeed quite outstanding at Alice's birthday party. Compared with Martin's Gem, the significance of this piece seemed to be more precious.

But tonight's performance of "Canon" tells them that Xu Fan is not being high-profile, but rather confident enough.

This piece requires extremely high piano skills to play, let alone composing such a classic piece.

Alice, sitting below, looked at Xu Fan and a blush crept onto her face for some reason. Perhaps it was because she was thinking of the song Xu Fan had written for her and felt happy inside.

Perhaps it's for some other reason.

In any case, Xu Fan's excellence had completely amazed her. The appearance of this piece of music and the piece he wrote for her, both of them were so beautiful, yet they were different from each other.

Like two completely different roads, yet both offer such beautiful scenery that it's hard to leave.

Immerse yourself in Canon, be captivated by its dancing melody, a melody of ultimate beauty and perfection. If it's nighttime, close your eyes and feel the unique charm of Canon. Then gently open your eyes and gaze at the vast, boundless starry universe. The twinkling stars will naturally bring a gentle smile to your face.

Greta, sitting next to Alice, was also listening intently to Xu Fan's music. She liked Xu Fan's songs very much, whether they were English songs she had already heard or Chinese songs that she could understand.

The more stunning Xu Fan was, the more she liked him.

This piano piece made her like Xu Fan even more. It's true that outstanding people always become more outstanding.

She thought to herself, remaining silent and listening intently to the changing notes of the piano.

Xu Fan's hands moved very quickly, so the melody of that section was also very fast.

Canon is like an infinitely extending, endless line, which may be thick or thin, bumpy or smooth, but the melody can always continue.

Whether it's refined or popular, we in the music will all get lost on the spiral staircase, embracing the beauty that seeps into our very bones.

Although the music keeps repeating itself, the melody doesn't feel monotonous; it's very pleasant to listen to.

Xu Fan's movements finally came to a slow stop.

It's like a gentle breeze brushing past fallen leaves, softly setting them down.

The last note has ended, but if someone wants to continue, it seems they can keep playing without any difference or awkwardness.

This is the most important part of the "Canon" musical form.

Xu Fan did not immediately get up to express his gratitude; he remained seated quietly.

Waiting for the lingering sound of the piano, the echo gradually fading away.

clap clap clap!

Finally, enthusiastic applause erupted, with hundreds of people clapping simultaneously, each one giving a powerful pat on the back for Xu Fan's song.

Perhaps only such applause is worthy of such a classic piano piece.

From the twenty-odd musicians at the top to the hundreds of other masters present, almost everyone was cheering with their hands, demonstrating their approval of Xu Fan's piece.

An original piano piece by a young man in his twenties.

How could this not inspire fervor and joy?

Xu Fan stood up amidst enthusiastic applause, looked at the hundreds of people who were clapping enthusiastically, though not in unison, bowed slightly, and then raised his head.

He began by saying, "Thank you for your applause."

The applause grew louder again, with everyone clapping enthusiastically to express their liking for him.

The host stepped forward and exclaimed in amazement, "Oh my goodness, Mr. Xu Fan, your piece is absolutely beautiful! Under what circumstances did you write such a wonderful piece?"

Everyone listened in silence to Xu Fan's answer.

Xu Fan said, "An occasional flash of inspiration."

===Chapter 342 Musical Instruments of My Gossip Kingdom===

This answer is actually a bit official.

Or rather, this isn't the answer people actually want to hear.

But in fact, this wasn't the answer Xu Fan wanted to say. He couldn't very well say that it wasn't written by him, but by a piano master from a parallel world, and that he just had a sudden flash of inspiration and then played the piece.

If the answer can't be given, then let it be a flash of inspiration.

The host humorously remarked, "We really have to thank the inspiration."

Amidst continuous applause and cheers, Xu Fan expressed his gratitude and left the stage.

Frank sneaked up to Xu Fan, gave him a thumbs up, and said, "Mr. Xu, I'd like to ask if we could also sell the electronic rights to tonight's 'Canon' and the 'Für Elise' you wrote for Miss Elise before to our company?"

Xu Fan looked at the other person and suddenly asked curiously, "Is there a charge?"

Frank understood what Xu Fan meant and said, "We only use your song to drive traffic, we don't charge you."

Xu Fan nodded and said, "Okay."

Frank was overjoyed, a smile spreading across his face. He said, "Alright, I'll prepare the contract and come see you again later. By the way, there's still no news from Miss Chen. I'll let you know as soon as I have any updates."

Xu Fan said, "Thank you for your hard work."

He returned to Greta and Alice, and after sitting down, the two women surrounded him, asking him all sorts of questions.

Xu Fan answered casually, but he was actually not in the right state of mind.

She played this piece not just because it sounded nice, but because she suddenly thought of Xia Ziling.

The melody remains as pure as ever, just like their past relationship.

Most importantly, in a parallel world, the master who composed this piece was experiencing longing because of the departure of a friend.

It may be simple, but sometimes it carries a special sentiment.

Xia Ziling's departure was something he had already gotten used to, but Chen Yuanyuan's move to the town also filled him with doubt and uncertainty about Xia Ziling's departure.

He didn't know what had happened to Xia Ziling, and most importantly, Chen Yuanyuan was nowhere to be found.

One thing after another made him unable to resist playing this piece just now.

The mood of the piece was quite fitting, but after he finished playing, he found it difficult to connect with the atmosphere of the performance.

But then, the applause suddenly erupted again, pulling Xu Fan back to reality.

Another piano master played a classic original piece, but many people were still savoring Xu Fan's piece when it suddenly seemed a bit dull and lackluster.

But after all, he is an international piano master, so the applause naturally did not diminish.

After round after round of performances by the masters, it was time for the independent performances.

As Xu Fan watched Martin walk onto the stage, a murmur of discussion immediately arose.

As a new generation of piano prince, even if he is not quite as good as Xu Fan, he is definitely the representative of piano in the country among most young people.

Martin represents the younger generation, after all, Xu Fan is an outlier.

Most musicians and music masters are relatively mature in age, but Xu Fan is only in his early twenties.

Martin's performance was decent; it wasn't his original composition, but rather a rendition of a classic piece, which earned him enthusiastic applause.

After Martin's performance, the host came on stage and announced the second part of the global musicians' invitational event, which was for representatives from various countries to play their respective instruments.

It wasn't explicitly stated, but the implication was that they were going to compete to see who was better.

Xu Fan actually didn't want to get involved anymore, because after he figured out a lot of things, he became more and more worried about Chen Yuanyuan.
