Chapter 320: 133: Stunning everyone! Instead of designing, it gets designed! _2
Edward Thompson tried to suppress the anger in his heart, “I’m not looking down on her for not knowing how to play the piano and embarrassing us; I just think she’s out of touch with reality. It’s not embarrassing to not know how to play the piano, but what’s the deal with her still going on stage? Has she thought about how she’ll get off the stage later? She’s not Sylvia, who can do everything!”
If she wasn’t Sylvia, then so be it.
She wouldn’t accept her fate.
If Sylvia was the one they sent, this situation would definitely not happen.
“Shut up!” Mandel Thompson spoke next.
Edward Thompson wanted to say something more, but seeing Mandel Thompson’s completely darkened face, he had to close his mouth.
Just wait.
They will regret it soon!
On the stage.
Dean Legel looked at Viola Thompson, who was walking over, and smiled as he extended his right hand, “Hello, Miss Thompson.”
“Hello, Mr. Dean,” Viola Thompson shook hands with him.
Dean Legel continued, “Do you have any issues with us playing a duet of ‘Radetzky March’ together on the piano?”
“No problem.” Viola Thompson said calmly.
It was as if the “Radetzky March” was just a simple, beginner’s piece in her eyes.
Upon hearing this, a wave of discussion broke out among the audience.
Dean Legel smiled and said, “Very well, Miss Thompson, let’s begin. Please.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he made a ‘please’ gesture.
Viola Thompson nodded slightly, bent down, and sat on the stool.
Dean Legel sat on the other side.
Dean Legel’s piano was a world-famous one.
With a history of over a hundred years.
In this instant.
The banquet hall was extremely quiet.
Everyone looked up at the stage.
Waiting for Viola Thompson’s performance.
It was less about waiting for Viola Thompson’s performance and more about wanting her to make a fool of herself.
Iris White sat beside Sylvia and squinted, “A piano duet is a performance for two people, and it is extremely difficult. Your new sister has a lot of courage.”
The difficulty lay not only in the duet but also in the piece.
‘Radetzky March’ is a famous Western classical piece.
Under normal circumstances, only professional pianists would learn it.
Even Sylvia had only just learned it.
And Viola Thompson?
The outcome was predictable.
Sylvia nodded, “My sister has always been very talented.”
Doreen said, “Iris, do you think Viola Thompson wants to bluff her way through this duet?”
After all, it was a duet.
As long as Viola Thompson pretended, others wouldn’t be able to tell.
“A duet is a completely different auditory experience from a solo performance. It won’t be that easy for her to bluff her way through.”‘, Iris White said, “Unless everyone in this banquet hall is a fool!”
Hearing this, Doreen felt relieved.
On the stage.
Dean Legel looked at Viola Thompson, “Miss Thompson, can we start?”
“Yes,” Viola Thompson nodded slightly.
Dean Legel smiled, “Then let’s begin. Don’t be nervous, I will try my best to keep up with your pace.”
The rhythm of ‘Radetzky March’ is very fast, and it sounds very exciting.
Dean Legel had played it countless times and was already proficient, but Viola Thompson was undoubtedly younger, and even if she knew this piece, she probably wouldn’t be able to keep up with his pace.
However, he would try his best to accommodate her.
After all, it was a duet.
“Alright,” Viola Thompson’s expression remained calm.
Dean Legel lifted his hands and pressed a piano key.
This was a sound check.
“If there’re no problems, shall we start?” Dean Legel looked at Viola Thompson.
“No problems,” Viola Thompson replied.
Upon Viola Thompson’s confirmation, Dean Legel began to play.
His fingers danced continuously on the clearly delineated black and white keys.
Viola Thompson followed without haste or urgency.
She was not very familiar with this piece.
She had only learned piano for three months.
Although she had only studied for three months, her talent was not bad, and there had even been a pianist who insisted on making her his teacher…
Seeing Viola Thompson actually start playing the piano, everyone in the banquet hall was stunned.
What was going on?
Viola Thompson could actually play the piano!
It was as if it were raining red rain from the sky.
“Even though she can play, the level is obviously far behind Dean Legel’s! The rhythm is so slow, and if it weren’t for Dean Legel slowing down his pace, she would have been left behind long ago,” one guest commented.
“One is a pianist, and the other has only learned piano. Indeed, they can’t be compared.”
“Not to mention Dean Legel, she probably can’t even compare to the second young miss of the Thompson Clan, right? I never thought Miss Thompson would be inferior to an adopted daughter.”
