Confessions of soul and flesh

Whale and Violin Concerto at 52 Hz

Gu Weinan's WeChat avatar is a whale.

He likes whales, and even hired a designer to help him design a whale logo for the store.He will explain it to others because he likes to dive like a whale and live carefree in the sea like a water elf.

But he never told others that it is not a general term for large mammals that have lived in the ocean since ancient times, nor is it a specific species in the Encyclopedia of Nature.

He is a special whale named Alice.

He is probably one of the loneliest animals in the world.The audio band emitted by normal whales is 15-25 Hz, but Alice's voice is as high as 52 Hz, which means that no matter his language or singing, his peers are inaudible.In this way, he swam alone from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, looking for his bosom friend all the way, until he was discovered by the American scientific expedition team in 1989.

He felt that he was very similar to this whale, before he met Wu Shan.

For his birthday this year, Wu Shan gave him a necklace with a whale in it. He liked it very much, and then told him the story of Alice.

That day they made it to the wee hours of Beethoven's Kreutzer Sonata.Gu Weinan hugged Wu Shan and told him the story behind the music:

"Kreutzer was a musical prodigy who entered the Chapel Royal as concert violinist at the age of 16."

Wu Shan curled his hair around his fingers, watching the whale on the necklace rising and falling with his breath on his white chest:

"Maybe he's lonely too."

A drop of sweat flowed down Gu Weinan's ear and temples, rolled over his long neck, and dripped on the round head of the whale, like the spray he sprayed.

"Even Beethoven was full of praise for his talent and gave Kreutzer his Violin Sonata No. 74..."

Gu Weinan closed his eyes to enjoy the warmth surrounded by music,

"That is the Kreutzer Sonata."

"But he is so talented, why didn't he become a master of music?"

Gu Weinan opened his warm eyes to look at Wushan, where besides affection, there was also a trace of loneliness.He touched Wu Shan's face with the violin tattooed hand:

"At the age of 44, Kreutzer broke his arm in a carriage accident and ended his playing career."

Wu Shan didn't say anything more, he took Gu Weinan's arm and kissed each of his fingers tenderly.

"Speaking of which, this work still has a story."

"I want to hear it."

"It is said that when Krewe received the piece, he thought it was 'very bad' and never played it once."

"Even Beethoven is sometimes misunderstood."

"But the name has followed him for more than 200 years."

"It reminds me of that whale you were talking about."

Desire is ignited again, the melody is melodious, and the wind enters the night.

Later, a student of the Moscow Conservatory of Music played this sonata for the great writer Leo Tolstoy, which touched him deeply and wrote a novel of the same name.

Later, a Czech composer read this novel and composed the first string quartet in his life, which of course was named "Kreutzer Sonata".

Later, Wu Shan got an extra tattoo, which was specially designed by the great god.At the position of the heart on the left chest, a small whale was tattooed. Gu Weinan smiled and asked him why he got this tattoo, but he replied with a deep kiss instead.

Because I want to keep you in my heart.
