Rebirth vs. Rebirth: Tragedy to Triumph

Chapter 252 Who is Better?

Hattie’s zither performances are undeniably enjoyable.

Nonetheless, as previously noted by Darwin, her playing lacks a sense of connection between herself and the music. Her emphasis seems to be solely on demonstrating her technical prowess, resulting in a noticeable absence of emotion. A zither piece without emotion is dry.

The technique is crucial, but achieving top-tier musical tones also requires time for maturation and refinement. Many aspects are perceptible to listeners attuned to music.

The music concluded.

Darwin applauded, “Well done, Miss. Your dedication to zither practice is evident. Yet, I can only award you eight points.”

Hattie’s expression darkened, her gaze intense.

“Why?” she inquired.

Darwin responded, “I’ve already explained my reasons earlier. I prefer not to repeat myself.”

“Violeta, please.”

While Hattie was performing on the zither moments ago, Violeta had already applied her finger picks.

She offered the owner a slight smile, saying, “Okay.”

Then, she cast her eyes down to the strings, mentally tracing the musical score. Her initial notes mirrored Hattie’s exactly.

However, as the piece progressed into its middle section, distinctions began to emerge.

Hattie’s rendition of “Beyond the Ridge” lacked depth in its complex emotional shifts.

However, Violeta’s performance highlighted the emotional changes within the music and contrasts in dynamics when plucking the strings.
