Gloomy Sunday.
It is a piece of music composed by the Hungarian composer Rulans Charles at the beginning of the last century. "Black Sunday" is a real song in the history of music. The "unparalleled" work lies not in its artistic aspects, but in the fact that most people who listened to this piece of music committed suicide.
A famous "international music miracle" once occurred in the history of music. "Case": Incidents of people committing suicide for listening to a piece of music occurred one after another.
At that time, one day, in a bar in Belgium, people were drinking wine and listening to music. When the band had just finished playing the orchestral piece "Black Sunday" written by French composer Roulans Charles, they heard a hysterical shouting: "I really can't stand it!" Only a Hungarian young man was seen. He drank up the wine in the glass with a tilt of his neck, took out a pistol and pulled the trigger towards his temple, then fell into a pool of blood with a "bang".
A female police officer investigated the case, but despite all her efforts, she could not find out why the young man committed suicide. Finally, she took a chance and bought a record of "Black Sunday" that the band played that day, thinking that maybe she could find some clues to solve the case. She played the record again and ended up committing suicide. People found her last words for the police chief on her desk: "Your Excellency, the case I accepted does not need to be investigated anymore. The murderer is the music "Black Sunday." I can't stand it when I listen to this music. The excitement of its sad melody has no choice but to be rejected from this world."
No coincidence. When a cheerful and lively female typist in New York City was chatting with others, she heard how sad "Black Sunday" was, so she curiously borrowed a record of this music to listen to at home. She didn't go to work the next day and was found dead by suicide in her room with the "Black Sunday" record playing on the record player. She said in her suicide note: "I can't stand its melody. This piece is my funeral piece."
In Washington, a newly famous pianist was invited to attend a salon party and played for Guest playing. During the dinner, a guest suddenly received a long-distance call that her mother had died in a car accident. Since that day happened to be Sunday, she asked the pianist to play "Black Sunday" for her mother to express her condolences. The pianist played the piece reluctantly. As soon as he finished playing, he suffered a heart attack due to excessive sadness and fell down on the piano and never got up again.
In Milan, Italy, a musician was confused after hearing these anecdotes. He did not believe that "Black Sunday" would have such serious consequences, so he tried to play it on the piano in his living room. After playing it once, he died next to the piano and wrote these last words on the score of "Black Sunday": "The melody of this piece of music is too cruel. This is not a piece of music that humans can endure. Destroy it." Otherwise, more people will die due to stimulation."
"Black Sunday" was called "The Devil's Invitation", and at least 100 people committed suicide after listening to it. It was banned for 13 years. Even psychoanalysts and psychologists cannot give a satisfactory explanation for the composer's own motivation for composing the music.
