Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 852

Chapter 852 Meeting Hathaway Again

Everyone was very friendly to Tessa and Gregory. In particular, Gregory was cute and adorable, so he was liked by many.

At this moment, Sofia brought Tessa to a silver-haired gentleman. “Tessa, this is Simon. I guess you’re familiar with him; you played one of his compositions a couple of days ago.”

Hearing Sofia’s introduction, Tessa was startled for a few seconds. Then, realizing Sofia’s purpose in doing so, she suppressed her excitement and greeted the gentleman meekly, saying, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Simon.”

As a matter of fact, Simon was a famous world-class composer who had written dozens of classic violin compositions. If she were able to receive advice from such a master, she’d definitely benefit a lot from it.

Looking at the steady young lady before him, Simon nodded lightly; his first impression of her seemed to be pretty nice. “I’ve heard about you from your mentor before. She said you’re quite talented at composing.”

“Miss Sofia flattered me by saying that. Actually, I’ve not learned systematically how to write music, so I’m not good enough in many ways.” Tessa was modest. Moreover, she was eager to learn, so she couldn’t help but mention some problems that she had come across while writing music.

“I often feel that the melodies I wrote aren’t in harmony with the feelings I was trying to achieve, especially when I was writing harmonies. There were many times when I felt there were some differences.”

Simon answered patiently, “Violin compositions are part of classical compositions, so there are many things involved in this. In your situation, you lack an understanding of the musical theory regarding the musical forms of harmonies.

If you want the musical notes to sound grand and melodious but not messy and monotonous when they’re grouped together, you should read more books about musical theories and understand those theories before learning systematically how to write harmonies. Doing so will improve your compositions a lot.” Tessa had only asked a question, but he could tell that the lady before him had worked hard on the basic skills of writing music.

Tessa nodded before asking Simon for advice regarding some knowledge about musical theories.

Simon answered her questions one by one.

With that, the two had a pleasant conversation.

Not only did Tessa ask Simon questions, but she’d also share some of her understanding of musical theories.
