Chapter 579: Chapter 382 "Zhao Zilong"_3
"Unbelievable, Mr. Moonlight can actually compose such exhilarating music!"
"Awesome! Damn, this music feels like it should be paired with some kind of story—yeah, it would be unbeatable as a movie soundtrack!"
For the old fans,
the current music style is so unfamiliar that it’s a bit intimidating for them.
Although Mr. Moonlight’s composition style has always changed drastically, from Spain to Hungary... he can write any kind of music.
However, people rarely use "exhilarating"... this word, to describe Mr. Moonlight’s music.
Usually, they are more accustomed to feeling such rapture in pop songs.
How to describe it...
"Rock style."
In the live stream, Zhang Dong said,
"Mr. Moonlight incorporated rock elements into this piece."
As soon as he said this, the comments in the chat were all dumbfounded:
[What the heck?? Rock??]
[Moonlight and Cat, rock... putting these two words together, why don’t I recognize it?]
[Damn, Mr. Moonlight hid this well!!]
[Who could imagine, the composer who last wrote the impressionistic ’Moonlight’, today wrote rock music?!]
[...]
"This isn’t surprising."
Zhang Dong said,
"I’ve always said that if Mr. Moonlight just wanted to write music that gets everyone hyped, he’s got it down pat!"
"This ’Zhao Zilong’ piece is represented by a fusion of cello, piano, and rock elements... If I’m not mistaken, in the original composition, it should also include electronic effects, but unfortunately, we’re listening to the live version now, so it doesn’t have that section."
"This arrangement... truly worthy of Mr. Moonlight."
Zhang Dong let out a deep sigh.
Then, he changed the topic,
"However, I actually feel that from the stylistic perspective, this piece might be better played with traditional instruments—like the pipa or the flute."
Zhang Dong furrowed his brow,
"But why with piano and cello then....."
Using Western instruments to play ’Zhao Zilong’ always feels a bit odd.
[What does that mean?]
[Did Mr. Moonlight’s original score use traditional instruments?]
[Indeed, I also feel that this piece’s style is very much like traditional music.....]
As the viewers were all discussing,
after a while, Zhang Dong slapped his forehead,
"I understand now!"

Zhang Dong took a deep breath and said,
"This is where we have to mention Mr. Moonlight’s top-notch arranging skills! On the surface, it gives a sense of traditional music, but in reality, this is a piece tailored for the cello!"
"Only the cello can create that ’historical weight’ that no other instrument has, and the piano, as we conventionally understand, has the ’ability to transcend space and time’!"
"Combining the style of traditional music with the cello and piano... not only isn’t it abrupt, it actually produces a unique flavor, this is Mr. Moonlight playing with Eastern and Western fusion!"
"This is Mr. Moonlight, once again showing a small act of creative spontaneity!!" Zhang Dong exclaimed.
As soon as he said this, the comments were in amazement.
[Wow! As expected of Mr. Moonlight!]
[Indeed! Mr. Moonlight always likes to include subtle showmanship in music... this time Dong caught it again!]
[So damn impressive damn it.....]
"It’s not over yet!"
Zhang Dong paused and said,
"In Western audiences, the cello always had a metaphor of a ’tragic hero’. This is related to its tone being at an extreme position among instruments."
"And Mr. Moonlight chose to write it this way, I think, must have his reasons too."
"Just watch, in a while, this piece will welcome its ’tragic hero’!"
