Chapter 1035

“However, these music genres emerged only around the 19th to 20th century. We’ve mastered these
genres, and that’s something to be proud of, but what are we going to tell the public when classical
music is being put forward?” Ryleigh chuckled. “Classical music has been primarily a written tradition
since at least the 9th century, spawning a sophisticated notational system ever since. The earliest extant
music manuscripts are said to date from the Carolingian Empire that flourished during that era. The
Fradianites popularized such symphonies in the 12th century. They stood the test of time during the
Renaissance period that took place from the 14th to 17th century and evolved throughout the whole
history of humanity.

“It’s famous for its high emotional penetration and its pompous, majestic harmonies that give a symphony
its dynamics. You’ll run into a gentle caress among waves of rigidity and sometimes a harsh punch in the
face among the soft embrace of the symphony. So, you can argue that a soloist can do that too. But tell
me now, can a soloist compare him or herself to the might of an orchestra?”

One of the solo instruments department students froze instantly and shook his head anxiously.

Ryleigh laughed out loud. “So, there you have it. Classical music is almost 1,000 years older than
modern music, so why should the music that we dedicate our lives to be looked down upon?”

Ryleigh then jumped off the stage and walked toward the two instructors.” Subjectively speaking, the
reason modern music, the genres that you people study in the academy, has a better development when
compared to classical music is that it’s more pleasing according to the modern aesthetic. Thus, the truth
is that your aesthetics are cultivated under the nurture of modern music, so it’s only natural for you to
think that classical music that we play in the orchestra department is not your cup of tea.”

After a pause, Ryleigh poked her finger against the shoulder of one of the female instructors. “I won’t
force every single one of you to appreciate what we do in the orchestra department, but I also won’t



allow you people to belittle us!”

The female instructor swayed slightly as her expression turned agitated and her complexion paled. Even
those students standing around the instructors were dumbfounded, while the students of the orchestra
department applauded. It was only then that the applause pulled the female instructor back to her
senses, and she dodged Ryleigh’s finger. “What’s the use of you telling us this? Do you have the ability
to get the academy to accept it? The academy has always only focused on developing our department,
so, Ms. Ryleigh Hill do you think you can change it with just a few words?”





The female instructor stared at Ryleigh’s sulky face and sneered. “Now tell me, since when has our
department lost the opportunity to perform during all the important occasions? We’re not the only ones
who think the orchestra is lacking in the aesthetic department, Ryleigh Hill,” Ryleigh was about to say
something when Louis appeared in the corridor. “The highest achievement in music is the tolerance and
respect one shows for other genres of music. If you can’t even show basic respect toward other music
genres, then don’t humiliate modern music and other soloists in front of others.”

The female instructor’s expression looked embarrassed, and the arrogance that she had been emitting
since the beginning of the debate was suppressed instantly because of Louis’ appearance.

The students all nodded at him. “Mr. Lucas.”

Ryleigh looked at him and pouted. “Why are you here?” “I bear good news for the orchestra department.”
He stopped in front of Ryleigh. “For the shooting of the pilot film that will be submitted to the international
summit, our foreign investors have chosen the orchestra department to be in it.”

Ryleigh was surprised. “Huh?”



The expression of the two female instructors became more and more dissatisfied. “How could it be the
orchestra

Louis glanced at them and asked indifferently, “Why can’t it be the orchestra department?”

They choked on their reply.

Louis looked cold and crossed his arms.” You might be blind, but it doesn’t mean that others are blind
too. Moreover, you’re not someone who can represent modern music when it comes to commenting on
classical music. In short, you’re not qualified enough to do that.”

The two female instructors did not dare to say anything, so they could only leave the scene after the
defeat.

Ryleigh frowned and stuck out her tongue behind their backs. Louis raised his hand, pinched the back of
her neck, and pulled her into his arms as she amused him.” What are you proud of?”

She turned around and said in a muffled voice. “They sounded more arrogant than I am now, so why
can’t I be proud?”
