49 Symphony of Destiny (2/2)

However, after comparing Bach’s work with many musical masterpieces in this world, Lucien found they were somehow too similar to each other! He was glad that he was cautious enough.

Then Lucien turned to Beethoven. Fortunately, none of Beethoven’s work overlapped the music from this world. Lucien didn’t want to waste much time on selecting, and thus he soon decided to use one of Beethoven’s most well known masterpieces—Symphony No. 5. Lucien still remembered when he first heard it, he was shocked by the great momentum of the symphony.

The most difficult part that Lucien had to think about was how to “give” it to Victor. Lucien couldn’t just directly hand Victor a piece of paper with such an excellent music masterpiece on it, telling Victor that he found it in a book in the library. On the other hand, it would be even more suspicious if he claimed that he came up with the melody by himself, since a beginner like him writing a piece of symphony like this would obviously make no sense.

Lucien wished he knew how to do hypnosis, but his current spiritual power was not enough to infuse a whole piece of symphony into Victor’s mind.

Finally, he decided to rewrite Symphony No. 5, but instead of revitalizing it, Lucien was going to “degrade” it. Lucien needed to destroy the whole structure of the masterpiece but leave some fragments for Victor. Lucien was hoping that his teacher could get inspired from these fragments.

After writing a small piece of melody down on the paper, Lucien sat down in front of the piano and heavily pressed the keyboard with his hands.

“Dang dang dang dang!”

It was so loud that Herodotus almost fell off his chair. Following the magnificent beginning, the rest part of the melody was like a disaster.

“What the heck are you doing?” Lott asked while frowning his eyebrows.

“I want to help Mr. Victor. What I saw today made me feel depressed but also angry, and this combined emotion just gave me some inspiration. I’m going to write it down.” Lucien explained.

“What?” Lott almost laughed, “Are you saying you are writing a symphony?”

“How long have you been learning music? You don’t really understand how to play piano yet!” Felicia’s voice became higher.

Spreading his hands, Lott replied directly. “No, you’re not able to help Mr. Victor, Lucien. I understand your will but you are just a beginner.”

“You think everyone can write a symphony just because they have so-called ‘inspiration’?!” Herodotus sneered, “What you just played was rubbish. Stop showing off in front of Mr. Victor to please him, you jester!”

“Lucien, please stop.” Felicia shook her head with depression, “Can you just stop? Don’t make the situation harder.”

But Lucien also shook his head firmly, “No. I’m inspired. I can write a good one.”

Lott, Felicia and Herodotus were staring at Lucien as if he was a madman.
