Movement 5: The Angel Tells Me (6): Zarathustra (two in one)(2/2)

"Click." "Click——"

No, it’s okay to be the substitute for "Awakening Chant", why is it that the "famous singer" has become my substitute? This is really unreasonable!!

Amidst the sound of the shutter, Walter, who was being led by the guests and a group of relatives and friends to the ceiling gallery, felt that he could not figure out the reason.

The crowd dispersed from all the passages within a few minutes, and the staff rushing to celebrate a series of parades did not have time to disrupt the situation. The open-air opera hall returned to its usual silence and dimness.

Fan Ning was still sitting in front of the grand piano.

The two little girls who were left behind sat on the ground leaning against the edge of the piano, with their legs curled up, their hands clasping their knees, their faces slightly raised, staring at the faint lamps on the circular wall and the stars above their heads.

"Human beings tell me about the night, about expressing the depth and longing of the world, metaphorically changing spirituality, and the beginning of divinity."

The orchestra part of the fourth movement has begun to take shape under Fan Ning's writing.

It begins with a repetition of the "Mysterious Motive" in the introduction to "The Poem of Awakening": low string sounds emerge from all directions, gloomy column chords, connected with dull and slow unison ups and downs, without any formation.

In the true sense, the melody is strange, terrifying, and weird, like a veil covering a mysterious substance.

This is the overall tone of "Dark Night" in the fourth movement, as defined by Fanning.

Once in the first movement, it represented "inanimate matter", or "the person before entering the door".

Looking at it now, it seems that it has returned to the previous scene.

But the next development is the human voice.

This is the key means for Fan Ning to achieve a leap in artistic conception. "The person before entering the door" becomes "the spirit before understanding divinity" - they are different phenomena at different heights of the Hui Tower, but they have something in common in essence.

Everywhere: It’s all about the separation of “new self” and “old self”.

"Text, a text about Nietzsche" Fan Ning returned to the first page, wrote the expression term "very slowly, mysteriously", and then stared at the line reserved for the female solo.

"When writing a human voice, it is natural to determine the range. My Miss Nightingale is an excellent soprano, but the range must match the artistic conception expressed in the text."

"The Will to Power", "The Birth of Tragedy", "On the Genealogy of Morality", "Dawn" and "The Wanderer and His Shadow" are actually among Nietzsche's many works.

Considering the perspective, it is most straightforward to choose the text from "The Birth of Tragedy".

"But the main theme of my "Third Symphony" is the tower structure, the climbing path, the six-fold door, the path that points to 'rising higher'. 'Dionysus' and 'Apollo' are just narrative materials, not

Essentially, if I use "The Birth of Tragedy" as a text, there is a risk of deviating from the main point, or making future audiences unable to accurately understand my intention."

"In fact, when it comes to 'rising higher', another philosophical concept of Nietzsche is more consistent with it -" The endless sparks of inspiration in Fan Ning's head were bursting.

"Superman!"

"The definition of Superman has many interpretations from academic viewpoints. There are moral definitions, power definitions, free will, mathematical logic or the relationship between suffering and joy. But they are not important to me. What I think

What I want to express is that 'Superman' is not a 'state', but a 'dynamic'! 'Superman' does not exist in the 'goal' reached, but only in the 'process' of victory!"

"From the crude juxtaposition of violence and pastoral poetry in The Poems of Awakening, to what flowers, animals and humans tell me about the opposition and compatibility of the birth of 'something' triumphing over the void of 'nothing', and then of 'higher'

Opposition has defeated the 'lower' opposition. This is 'Superman', this is 'rising higher', which is the most fundamental theme of the Third Symphony!"

"Then, what kind of writing should be chosen to express the depth and longing for night in the world? The answer is obvious -" Fan Ning murmured a German phrase in a low voice.
