Identity V | Composer Background Story

[@rokarege9058]

Sounds like a gifted kid who didnt turn out as excellent as he was told he will in the end :,)

[@TuberoseKisser]

What I got was that he was extremely talented and was addicted to the fame but as time went on people lost interest and now he's trying to regain that fame.

[@weepheus]

@@TuberoseKisser that’s antonio

[@delicioushitlist]

That’s me

[@iammegafred]

If this character name will be Frederick, then, it's an obvious reference to the virtuoso pianist & composer FRÉDÉRIC CHOPIN. In real life he met Niccolò Paganini (from whom Antonio is based on, since his father's name was Antonio) and was influenced by him. Also he lived in the 1800s where IDV takes place, so it fits perfectly.

[@LonelyAlchemist]

Actually, the music of the video, the rhythm it manages, the intensity is almost stormy, I remembered Chopin beyond the story. I hope that in his character they leave more references, because in fact they can exploit to the maximum the inspiration they take from Chopin.

[@SilminaIDV]

Many people in reddit also said that he resembles Chopin. But idk if he met Paganini irl, I just know about that

[@iammegafred]

@@SilminaIDV "Back in Warsaw that year (1829), Chopin heard Niccolò Paganini play the violin, and composed a set of variations, Souvenir de Paganini. It may have been this experience that encouraged him to commence writing his first Études (1829-32), exploring the capacities of his own instrument". "A charming tribute to Paganini. This rare work is thought to have been written after a concert Chopin attended during Paganini's 1829 visit to Warsaw. The virtuosity Paganini displayed in his performance of the Carnival of Venice inspired the 19-year old Chopin to write his own set of unusual variations on the melody for solo piano."

[@SilminaIDV]

@@iammegafred so it was Paganini who inspires Chopin to become a musician. Oh wow, thanks for the info. Now I'm hyped

[@andreabanuelosavila2317]

Wait, Chopin met the violinist from heck?

[@TaffyCat6712]

@@zellwest2097then what does it mean?

[@zellwest2097]

@ "很遗憾我是法国人”. In Chinese, we don't use "遗憾" as an apology. We feel “遗憾” because things doesn’t turn out the way we want it to be. In this situation the composer was trying to word back to the novelist.(As a French I’m nothing to do with Mary Kreiburg.)And then that's a lie. The novelist later exposed him. (And perhaps the novelist, by comparing Mary to the composer, was trying to make the journalist see Mary's illusion.)

[@deltastar4147]

I feel like he may have made a similar deal like Antonio. He made a deal with a dark being to strengthen his music or maybe gain fame that way. I won't be surprised if he related to Antonio in some way as they are both musicians who seemed to go insane with their art

"He glows golden just like they first expected" interesting here he uses a third perspective to describe himself. (Like looking at himself as another person.)

[@seelevollerei7224]

I guess it's because he is referring to the way things could have been, not the way he really turned out

[@zellwest2097]

@@seelevollerei7224 I know but usually people will use "I should be" or something like that. It's still like the first person. Using the third person here allows us to perceive the character's self-perception as more contradictory.

[@thesidecharacter9867]

Feel like people's expectations were too high for him, and as he tried to reach those expectation's he began crumbling down and choosing wrong decisions.

[@RekEStore32]

Actually, Frederick had a psychological condition. 'Psychasthenia', hope I spelled that right. But... His old-fashioned, proud family line of composers, well they didn't help.

[@MsMeals]

I think it’s about a man who was a talented composer. Everyone believed that he could be the modern day Mozart. But then, at the peak of his career, he fell into a slump he just can’t seem to get out of. His family and mentor was let down and his stress and frustration could only be soothed by the tone of a tuning fork. An invitation then came promising the composer inspiration and a second chance if he partakes in a game and win.

[@LonelyAlchemist]

I love how they handled the emotions they evoke according to the intensity of the music. I think it reflects how Frédéric feels. He reminded me a bit of Edgar, maybe a little more condescending. I want to know more about his story and why he went to the manor. The animation is improving a lot compared to the other backstories, well done! :D

[@danidrago8558]

That intro was so good! The eerie silence was more impactful than I was expecting. Props to the people behind this one!

[@lebazardemori3221]

The first time I saw his design my first thought was "He looks like Mozart" and now his backstory is similar to Mozart's life (Long story short, Mozart is considered as a genius but when he was alive his musics weren't liked and it's seems to be the same thing but inversed. First, considered as a genius then nobody liked his music.) But the problem is that most of the characters that are inspired from real persons (like for Helena and Luca) lived in the period were the events of the game takes place (late 1800s and early 1900s) but not Mozart (1756-1791).

[@yuriyuireny]

time paradox theory????

[@clark5426]

But there's the sound of a commercial steam engine train in the background and those were around in the 1800s not in the 1700s which is not invented yet during Mozart's time period.

[@crash2262]

What I take from this is that he's a young prodigy who's becoming less and less skilled as the time goes on (and went manic because of it) . He probably went to the manor in hope to regain his past skills back.

[@crepejeanette4918]

Based on the wiki, people appreciate his musical talents, what he loves so dearly, less and admire him based on his looks more.
