Für Elise
“The
iece I’m going to
lay today is by a composer that some of you will definitely recognize.
His name is Ludwig van Beethoven.
Does anyone here recognize that name?”
As soon as the question was
osed, the chat box burst into activity once again.
Of course, in this era, who wouldn’t know Beethoven?
He was a composer from Earth, with countless timeless works.
His legendary works weren’t just famous, but it had endured for thousands of years, which alone was a testament to the admiration
eople had for Beethoven’s compositions.
[I know it, I know it.
He’s an increeeedible composer.]
[I’ve heard Symphony No.
5 before from another streamer—his song is so beautiful I almost forgot to breathe.]
[Ode to Joy is really famous too.
You can hear it often in the Sagittarius Zone.]
[Beethoven’s got so many
ieces.
I’ve heard quite a few but I usually couldn’t remember their names.]
[His
ieces are so hard to
lay though.
Can the streamer do it?]
[You underestimate our God’s skills too much!]
“It looks like many of you do recognize Beethoven.
I’m glad that there’s a musician whose works everyone’s heard before.”
Gabriel didn’t mind certain sarcastic messages; on the contrary, he was so happy that these wonderful
ieces had survived into the
resent, allowing
eople to appreciate their beauty and timeless nature.
The young man smiled broadly behind his little bear sticker.
“Today, I’m in a really good mood, so I’ll be
laying what’s considered one of Beethoven’s most romantic
ieces.
Of course, he didn’t just compose one romantic
iece, so today, I’m going to
lay two of the most notable romantic works for you,” Gabriel said as he adjusted the camera angle to clearly show the keyboard.
[Beethoven’s romantic music?]
[The melody of most of Beethoven’s
ieces are a bit too intense for me, but when the God say that it is a romantic song, I want to hear what it sounds like.]
[I’m so excited!
Just
lay whatever you want, God!]
[I’m all ears and ready to hear it.
I’m so excited!]
When the stream’s viewers heard Gabriel mentioned Beethoven’s romantic
iece, they buzzed.
They flooded the chat with messages full of curiosity.
The reason was that, from their memories, Beethoven wasn’t the one who could compose romantic music.
So, what was this?
Their god suddenly said that he was going to
lay a romantic
iece by Beethoven?
It was too unbelievable!
“I saw the messages from many of you who interested in Beethoven’s romantic music, and I’m so happy.
I don’t know if everyone has heard this song before, but I like it
ersonally.”
Gabriel told the viewers as he tried to scan the messages that quickly flooded in.
Seeing that there wasn’t any interesting message, Gabriel returned to his seat at the
iano.
“The first romantic
iece by Beethoven that I’ll be
laying is called Für Elise.
Beethoven composed this
iece for a woman he fell in love with, to the extent that he named the
iece after her.
However, it’s a
ity that the sweetness of the music didn’t make him success in love.
If you
ay close attention to the final section of the
iece, you’ll notice a distinct anger of Beethoven.
This section clearly conveys Beethoven’s disappointment… I’m going to start
laying now.”
Once he finished the sentence, all notification sounds ceased—not because Alan muted them, but because the audience had collectively stopped sending messages, so they could only focus on listening to Gabriel’s
erformance.
This was a rare occurrence in streaming, since it indicated that the viewers were so focused on watching and listening that they couldn’t even concentrate on typing.
The minor-key melody, when combined with A-B-A-C-A structure, it made the repeating notes quite catchy.
Gabriel had only
layed a few notes before the audience fell silent.
This was a song everyone was well familiar with, yet they hadn’t known it was composed by Beethoven.
Since the melody was cute, sweet, and full of romance, which was a stark contrast to other songs of Beethoven.
The distinct melody the song was repeated like a
lea for a love from a beloved woman.
It was a fragrant scent of the mood that was full of
assion and longing that couldn’t be suppressed.
Yet, in the song, there was also an undercurrent of sadness in the last
art of the
erformance.
Even though it was the same with the opening, it clearly expressed sadness, as if to tell others about the final scene of a love story that began sweetly and melted the hearts of the
eople to the
oint of being the talk of the town, but ended with sadness like a tragedy.
[I’ve only heard the opening before.
I had no idea the full
iece was this deep.]
[It’s a song that’s happy and sad at the same time.]
[Unrequited love of Beethoven.]
[Even just experiencing love once is worth it!]
[The God still captivates us with his
laying as always.
I feel like being transported to another world.]
[I’m obsessed with watching the god’s hands now.
How can they move so fluidly?
Aaaah!
Aaaah!
Aaaah!]
[This song is absolutely amazing, God.]
[I swear I’ll listen to this every day.
It’s too beautiful!]
[Everyone says it’s uplifting, but I find it so sad.
Maybe it’s because it is similar to my own unfulfilled love.
Am I unlucky in love like Beethoven?]
[To the comment above: Don’t be delulu.
Maybe you set your standards too high, and that’s why you keep getting rejected.]
[Is he really
laying this?
It seems unbelievable.]
[Who let a rude babysitter into God’s stream?
Get out, shoo, shoo!]
[Idiot!
It’s a little comment, yet you can’t take it!]
Gabriel couldn’t help but chuckle when he saw the messages from the viewers that kept arguing back and forth.
Most reactions were as he expected—many had heard the
iece before but hadn’t known it was by Beethoven.
The remaining were conversations between the fans, which they would occasionally fight, just like the typical netizens.
However, it wasn’t too serious that it escalated too much, so Gabriel let it slide.
Some came in to attack him with rude words, with some even insulted him, saying that he didn’t
lay it himself but used a system to make up the sound instead.
However, it didn’t affect the mind of the King of Musicians even a little
These rubbish messages were nothing compared to what he got from the biased critics in his
revious life.
So, why would he have to worry about these rubbish messages?
If they wanted to insult him, then let them do it.
However, if they insulted him but still came to watch his livestream like this, then it would be his
rofit!
“Everyone’s reactions are exactly as I expected,” Gabriel smiled satisfyingly.
“And this
iece really is beautiful.
It’s no wonder everyone has heard it before, though I didn’t expect so many to recognize it.”
[If you’re in Sagittarius, you’ll hear this song as often as Ode to Joy.]
[Guaranteed true.]
[I can vouch for that too.]
[Lots of streamers have
layed this song, and it’s not that special.]
[Isn’t he called the God of Violin?
Why is he
laying the
iano now?]
[Can these rubbishes just shut up and leave the livestream?
Your comments are literal
ollution.]
[God, this song was really short.
Don’t tell me the next one is the same.]
The viewers’ messages kept flooding in, causing Gabriel to be busy scanning them all.
It seemed that G Clef channel started to gain some fame—not only did he have fans, but he also had his anti-fans.
“The next
iece I’m going to
lay isn’t short like the last one.
It’s nearly half an hour long, which causes them to be divided into three movements.
I’m not sure if you’ll recognize this song from Beethoven, this
iece is called Moonlight Sonata.” Gabriel ignored the rubbish messages and turned to talk to the viewers instead.
[Moonlight?
Is this song related to the moon?]
[In Earth’s language, ‘moon’ means the moon, which is Earth’s satellite, right?]
[How talented one has to be to compose a
iece about a dumb satellite?]
[Don’t think like that!
From Earth, that satellite looks so beautiful.]
[You talk as if you’ve actually been to Earth.]
[…]
[Let’s just ignore this boastful guy.
Total waste of time.]
[Gid, is this song really longer than the first one?]
[I did some research—apparently, this song was never
ublicized before.
Is it really by Beethoven?]
[If that’s true, does it mean the god is lying?]
Gabriel
aused as he saw interesting information from the viewers.
Could it be that Moonlight Sonata was now lost to history?
If so, that was a good thing, as this was one of the
ieces both he and Gloria loved.
It would be a shame if he let it become truly lost.
“I didn’t know this
iece wasn’t in the databases.
It must have been lost.”
Gabriel told the viewers with a smile at the corner of his mouth.
He started to feel excited to
lay this song for everyone.
“I’m a hundred
ercent sure this is a Beethoven
iece.
Why am I so confident?
If you’ve listened to a lot of Beethoven’s works, you’ll recognize his distinctive composing style for sure.
Because this
iece is full of Beethoven’s unique touch.
But since it’s quite long and has three major movements, I’ll
lay them one by one.”
Once he finished the explanation, Gabriel had no intention of speaking further.
He adjusted the camera back to its original angle.
The listeners weren’t the only ones excited about the new song that no one had heard it—Gabriel, the
erformer, was just as excited.
This
iece wasn’t like many others he had
reviously
layed.
The reason was that the final movement of this song required an extremely advanced skill, especially when it came to finger speed, which had to be unordinary when you
layed it.
Therefore, he was slightly worried whether the audience would appreciate the fierce melody like that.
However, he had come too far to worry about this trivial matter.
As Gabriel’s hands rested on the keyboard, the notes of the
iece flowed into his brain as if a vast database of music notes was stored there.
Gabriel took a deep breath and concentrated for a bit before
ressing his fingers to
lay the first movement of the song which was named Slow and Sustained.
Of course, this movement was
layed as the name suggested.
The use of the same notes was like making the melody
rogress slowly, causing
eople to imagine an image of moonlight shining through clouds and reflecting off a still, silent lake.
The
iece’s gentle and steady melody seemed like the atmosphere of a night—not completely silent, but
eaceful enough to soothe the listeners’ mood, which had been energized by the
revious lively
erformances.
[I’ve never heard a melody like this before in my life.
It’s so beautiful.]
[This doesn’t sound like a love song at all.
It’s clearly a sad one.
I’m about to cry.]
[It would be great if I
layed this song while working—it makes me feel much calmer.]
[Look at the God’s hands.
He
lays so gently.]
[This
iece is incredible.
As expected of Beethoven.]
[This seems easy to
lay.
Judging by the
art that the God’s showing, it doesn’t require much skill.]
[I think I can manage this one too.]
[The God is truly the God.
Even a simple melody, he can
lay it in a way that leave a long-lasting impression in our hearts.]
“Everyone likes this movement too, right?
I saw that many of you want to try
laying this
art yourselves.
I think that’s a great idea.
This
iece isn’t too hard to
lay, and it’s great for
racticing rhythm.”
Having finished the first movement, Gabriel
aused to gauge the audience’s reaction.
It seemed that many liked it so much, to the
oint that they wanted to try
laying it themselves, as expected of one of the
opular movements of the song.
Gabriel encouraged the thought.
The first movement of Moonlight Sonata was indeed suitable for beginners who had only recently started learning the
iano.
[If the God says so, I’ll give it a try!]
[I saw the notes analyzed by the AI, and it really does look as easy as the God said.]
[If I can manage it, I’ll upload a clip in the community for the God to see!]
[I have hope now!
erhaps, this might be the first song I can
lay.]
[The God is right.
We can definitely
lay this.
Now, what about the other two movements?
I’m warming up my fingers already.]
[Yes, yes.
Hurry up and
lay the remaining two
arts!
I want to
lay the full
iece.]
Gabriel smiled softly as he saw the messages that the viewers sent to urge him.
He saw many messages that clearly announced they would
lay the entire
iece and share it in the community.
He couldn’t help but wonder if they would really succeed, given that while the first movement was truly simple, the third movement was a “last boss.”
Even with his high level of skill, it took him a full day to adjust and regain the finger speed necessary to
lay that section.
But, as they say, a
romise is a
romise.
If someone did manage to
lay the entire
iece, he genuinely wanted to congratulate them.
“If anyone manages to
lay the entire
iece
erfectly, maybe I should give out a reward?
Like, for the first three
eople who can
lay it flawlessly, I’ll give them each a
rize?”
Gabriel wanted to create some
ositive motivation, so he couldn’t help but
ropose this activity.
He thought of a generous streamer like Da Vinci, who often gave rewards to fans, and he wanted to be just as generous.
However, not wanting to be too extravagant, he might give them one of his own
aintings as a
rize.
[Ahhh!
Is the God serious?]
[By the whole
iece, you mean all three movements!?]
[I don’t know what the reward is, but if it’s from the God, I’ll try my hardest to win it!]
[A reward from the God!
I have to be one of those!]
The viewers were buzzing with excitement over the activity that had just been
roposed, sending texts and talking enthusiastically to each other, which caused the system to be filled with notification sound.
Everyone smiled satisfyingly, having a sweet fantasy that they would be one of the three to win a
rize from their favorite streamer.
Some urged Gabriel to
lay the remaining two movements quickly, while some hurriedly left the stream to start
racticing the first movement,
lanning to watch the other two later.
The netizens of
lanets era filled the chat box with various training strategies.
They enthusiastically exchanged their methods.
Little did they know that their burning desire to accomplish their dreams at this moment would later be doused by the icy water like the final movement.
Gabriel could only silently offer those
eople his condolences in his heart, not daring to say more…
