Sharing the same world as the RHUMA Memoirs trilogy, The Silent Melody is a story about the Baroque composers Bach and Vivaldi, and carries over the trilogy's character relationships.
In 1707, after traveling from Mühlhausen to take up a post at the court of Duke Wilhelm Ernst in Weimar, Bach first encountered Vivaldi's music. The prince's many travels brought him more works by the Venetian composer. At first, Bach adapted Vivaldi's concertos merely to teach the prince. But as he continued working, these pieces taught him not only how to achieve order, coherence, and proportion, but also reshaped his soul...
On July 28, 1741, Vivaldi, long forgotten by the world, died alone in poverty and illness in Vienna. He did not know that far away in Germany, a successor he had never met still cherished him and his music. Nine years later, on the same day, Bach died. The melodies of Venice, which had lived in his memory for so long, fell silent, and remained so for two centuries...
Could the melodies of Venice, silent for two centuries, survive only in the memories of two kindred spirits who were never able to meet? How much more sorrow and despair would Bach, deeply moved by Vivaldi in 1707, have to endure?
Theme:
In fact, the word "great man" is really too big. These great musicians may have just learned a little music, understood a little music, and created some elaborate or careless works. But these notes falling on the parchment have flowed over hundreds of years, accumulated for hundreds of years, and been played for hundreds of years, eventually becoming works that are passed down by word of mouth and imprinted on people's hearts. As a result, the authors of these songs have become objects of people's admiration and an irreplaceable part of that era, making countless people (I think including the author of this article) full of admiration and longing for that era.
The part that impressed me most about the article was the three extra chapters in Dresden. I never thought about what would happen if the work of these musicians was forgotten by all the world. In the past, there would only be some scholars who were left behind in the past and sighed with regret. Then generations changed, and some people were completely left behind in that era. His music would never appear in concert halls, on spotlighted stages, or under the fingertips of performers. However, the author materializes this originally illusory thing like a mirage: if you forget them, they will lose the right to survive in another time and space, and their thoughts will become sacrifices to the body and disappear together with the body. This kind of concretization directly touches people's hearts, especially when it is epitomized in a scene from World War II, which makes this process appear before people's eyes in a devastating manner at a specific time and a specific place, fiercely tugging at the readers' hearts, as if to accuse: Why was it forgotten, why was it abandoned, and why can't we bring you that heavy or joyful moment hundreds of years ago?
I'm so happy to see bwv!
Oh my god, this is so cruel! Although this is not the first time I have read it, the author wrote it very well! Can't stand it. . .
I've watched it several times! The author writes this chapter so well~~~Every sentence can withstand scrutiny and can be used as a short article!
Well, actually I still can't remember the name of the person named Luo after reading it twice. . . .
Let me ask you a big and small question, is "Nicola" Paganini? So cute [Star Eyes]
Ahhhhhhhhhh this chapter with the music is just amazing! I completely feel the sadness of disappearing into the long river of history
Come on! I really like the academic conversation between the two of them! Music brings ecstasy! I have never seen such a good Western music history fan?
