What is music

1:
Saint Columbus is ready to accept Marais as a disciple.
St. Columbus: Your performance is good, your posture is good, and your emotions are rich. The bow is powerful, the left hand is also used well, and the decorative sound is also good. However, I could not hear the music from your performance. You are suitable to be an accompaniment to dance and drama. The composition must be accepted by the world. You have a rich life in music, but you cannot be a musician. The most important thing is to be humble and pay attention to those worldly voices. Your hoarse voice (voice after changing voice) touched me, and I accept you as a disciple not because of your playing skills, but because of your sadness.

2: At
night, the child walking in front of Saint Columbus and Marais stopped by himself, put down the lamp, and peeed.
Saint Columbus: Hush. (Signing to Marais to listen carefully) Hehe, hehehe, now you understand the decorative sound in the music. Ha ha ha.
Marais: Want to drop half a note?
St. Columbus: (Fucking up) No. (Turns around to pee)
Marais: Is the real goal of music silence?
St. Columbus: No! It's late at night and my feet are cold. I'll go back first. (Taking the lamp in Male’s hand and walking away)

3:
St. Columbus and Male ran towards the house under the rain.
In the living room.
St. Columbus: Okay, your ears are moved everywhere.
Marais: (to the eldest daughter) Yesterday I played the piano in front of the king, and the soldiers found a burnt spot on the instrument. . . (
Playing the piano intently) St. Columbus: (furious, pats the stool) Play it! (Rushing to Marais, grabbing the piano, and throwing it towards the wall.)
Marais sat down and her daughters and daughters hugged them. St. Columbus walked to the cupboard, smiled and took out a bag of money, and walked to Marais, Marais stood up with a look of unconvinced expression. The eldest daughter fell on the ground and wept.
Marais: (Take the money) I didn't expect things to be such a big deal.
Saint Columbus: You know what an instrument is, and an instrument is not music. This money can buy an acrobatic troupe horse. Listen carefully to my daughter's cry, which is closer to music than your piano. Go out, you are a great performer. Pretending may be fine, but you can't be a real musician.

4:
One night after the death of the eldest daughter, Marais wanted to listen to St. Columbus's performance again and came to the wooden house.
Saint Columbus: Who is here at this night?
Marais: It's someone who came to seek music.
Saint Columbus: What can be pursued in music?
Marais: What I need is sorrow and tears.
Saint Columbus: Please sit down.
Marais: Can you please give me the last lesson?
Saint Columbus: No, it's just the first lesson I taught you. May I? Music is the expression of those things that language cannot express, so music cannot be mundane things. You should know that music is not something the king can have.
Marais: Is it God’s thing?
Saint Columbus: No, God can express it.
Marais: Can you listen with your ears?
Saint Columbus: Ears cannot accept real music.
Marais: Is that something you can buy with money? (St. Columbus shakes his head) What about the reputation? Is music a kind of silence?
Saint Columbus: Silence is just an inner language.
Marais: What about the other musicians? I am different from them. Can love feel music? Is music hate caused by love? Is it self-defeating?
Saint Columbus: Neither.
Marais: Is it a tribute?
Saint Columbus: No, what are the tributes you are talking about? Are you talking about the snacks? That's nothing.
Marais: I don't understand. Is it a gift to the deceased?
Saint Columbus: Yes.
Marais: Is it a low-pitched comfort for those who can't talk? Give those children's figures, soften the hammering of the shoe factory, and give those babies who can't come into the world a gift?
Saint Columbus: (holding Marais hand tightly) You should have heard my sigh just now, I am not far from death, and the song will die. I am afraid that no one will be sad. Wake up the dead, this kind of music can only be done by you.

    Musician: Open your mouth so we can hear you. I can't follow you. You're not listening. You're going too fast. Let's start over with the first notes of the song. Stop! The Master has signalled. The Master would speak. Speak, Master.

    Marin Marais: Each note should end dying.
