Beethoven Reborn - Episode 11
Beethoven Reborn Episode 011
4. 4Sal, genius composer(6)
The melody produced by cellist Seunghee Lee was exactly what I imagined..
The range of the cello's vocal range is among the widest among musical instruments, and when I wrote 'Resurrection,' I tried to express important emotions with the cello..
Even before the Baroque, cello playing skills were at a poor level..
However, I believed in the infinite possibilities of the cello, so I tried many possibilities..
And now, listening to the cello music that developed after my death, I am convinced that.
As expected, my thoughts were not wrong..
Because I loved the tone of the cello so much, I wrote several songs related to it, and indeed, inspiration came to me when I listened to the later music..
So, for the piano trio 'Resurrection', I decided to lead the melody with the piano and emphasize it with the grand yet soft tone of the cello..
In fact, it's not that I didn't consider the violin in addition to the piano and cello..
I once wrote a triple concerto for piano, violin, and cello, but a memory I didn't like came to mind, so this time I lessened my greed and wrote a concerto for piano and cello..
It's 'resurrection'’.
However, the piano, which was supposed to harmonize with the cello, was having trouble..
“Man, wait a minute..”
When asked to stop playing, the producer pressed something and relayed the message to people in what was called the 'recording room'..
Producer Himura led me into the recording studio..
“I guess Dobin has something to say..”
My attention was focused, and I approached the prim-looking female pianist..
She looked a little embarrassed, but still smiled and asked me.
“What's happen?”
Thanks to Himura’s interpretation, the conversation was able to progress, albeit slowly..
“Please show me your hands.”
I nodded and she spread her hands in front of me..
You can't tell with the naked eye, but I grabbed her right hand with both hands and pushed it inward, bending it..
“Ahhh.”
I knew it.
“Mr. Aki?”
Producer Himura, Seunghee Lee, and the middle-aged violinist approached in surprise.
come.
“Is there a problem?”
“I think this sister’s wrist hurts..”
Himura and Seunghee Lee were surprised to hear what I said and looked at the pianist named ‘Aki’ and asked..
“Is that true?”
“……yes. sorry.”
Even though I was hurt, it didn’t seem like I was just hurt..
Basically, the resurrection had a decent amount of content, but the playing time itself was average..
The speed of the performance was set fast to express the chaotic period by giving passionate sound changes, but the woman named 'Aki' gradually fell short of the speed as the performance progressed..
“What happened?”
“Actually, I just finished taking a shower last night.……
“Isn’t this something that can be done by hiding it? Have you been to the hospital??”
“……yes. I got some painkillers. … … sorry.”
“Phew. All right. We will reschedule the recording. Mr. Aki, I would like to talk to you for a moment..”
The producer and a woman named Akira left the recording studio and I quenched my appetite by looking at the nice piano..
‘How long do you have to wait to hit it right?.’
The more I looked at it, the more I started to get upset because it was such a good product..
It will take some time for your hands to grow and gain strength, but it is very difficult to wait for that time..
To relieve my regret, I climbed onto the chair..
"huh."
It's also too far to the keyboard.
“sister.”
"huh? me?”
Seunghee Lee, who was looking anxiously at the place where the producer and pianist had gone, pointed to herself with her finger and asked again..
The word used to refer to an older woman would be 'sister', but since you asked, it seems like you didn't think anything of it..
“yes. Please pull up the chair.”
“Ahaha. okay. okay.”
The keyboard is in front of you.
Since the chair was tailored to fit a person named Akira, it was inevitable that he would be in a very uncomfortable position..
“sister.”
“Do you really know something? okay. My sister will take care of it. Come down for a moment.”
Seunghee Lee adjusted the height of the chair and lifted me up and made me sit down, and only then was I able to look down at the piano keys from the right position..
‘Although it's still uncomfortable.’
I took my finger and pressed it..
Ding _
How can you not be moved by this?.
While I was awkwardly playing with my hands to soothe my regret, Seunghee Lee spoke to me secretly..
“Dobin.”
“yes.”
“How did you know Aki’s wrist was injured??”
“Because my posture was strange.”
“posture?”
I nodded and answered.
“If you play the piano, you don't lower your wrist like that..”
“yes?”
Seunghee Lee seemed to want an explanation and tried to continue, but as expected, her vocabulary was lacking this time..
‘At first I played well, but my posture was weird and I couldn't keep the beat as I got older, so I thought it was because I was in pain..’
I was wondering how to convey the words and pointed to a point in the score..
Where the metronome is displayed.
“I couldn't keep the beat?”
Seunghee Lee asked again.
I wondered if she was asking because she really didn't know even though she had that level of playing skill, so I looked up and saw that she was smiling brightly..
I'm a person who doesn't hate anything.
I nod my head and ask again..
“From where? Where did it get so slow??”
“here.”
He pointed to a spot on the sheet music still spread out on the piano..
This was the part where the playing speed started to speed up..
“Dobin has great ears? No, I should say that I have a good sense of tempo.?”
“It's all good.”
It goes without saying, but it seems amazing that Lee Seung-hee recognizes the greatness of this body. He is also a performer that I recognize..
“oh my god.”
Seunghee Lee turned to the middle-aged man next to him and spoke Japanese..
“Mr. Saburo, did you hear? No, you probably didn't hear. She just talked to Dobbin……
Seunghee Lee, who speaks a little chattily, and the violinist who listens seriously and is surprised..
I have no idea what you're talking about..
“I can't believe it.”
“Yes? I also thought it seemed to be slowing down a little bit. It was a long time ago. He's really a genius.”
I'm slowly getting tired of playing the piano that I can't play satisfactorily, and I'm getting hungry. When will the producer come back?.
Ding_dong_ding_dong_
After pressing the keys a few more times, I told Seunghee Lee to get off the chair..
Seunghee Lee lifted me up and smiled brightly..
I made an angry face and he said it was cute and then rubbed my cheek, making me irritated..
“I'm really sorry.”
After a while, the producer returned and bowed his head to me and apologized..
To him, I am just a 4-year-old child, but seeing him apologize like this gave me trust again..
“are you okay.”
The producer raised his head and explained the situation..
“I think we need to find another player, Dobin. I'm sorry I must have expected a lot from you.”
“yes.”
As his attitude was sincere, I felt like I would have to endure a certain amount of regret..
I don't know what the musician named Akira was thinking when trying to record, but if you take steps like this, there is no problem..
My parents, who were in the waiting room, also nodded after hearing the situation..
“Then can I go back to my accommodation today??”
“yes. Please do as you wish.”
“What does Dobin want to do??”
When my mother looked at me and asked, I remembered what the producer said before I came to Japan..
“You can't do interviews.?”
“ah.”
The producer, lost in thought for a moment, took out a strange object called a ‘cell phone’ and exchanged a few words..
Is it possible to talk to someone far away? It really seems like a world where there is nothing you can’t do..
“It's time. They said they would come if I just had to wait 30 minutes, so should I wait here??”
“yes.”
I heard that I could make a lot of money by doing interviews, so I decided to do it several times since I was already in Japan..
Because I never want to get on that plane again..
20After about a minute, a young woman appeared..
“Hello, my name is Rin Ishihara from the Asahi Shimbun Entertainment Department..”
It looked like she was being interviewed, and she greeted my parents politely and handed them a piece of paper..
Seeing as it's not Korean money I know, it seems useless..
The interview was conducted by me, the interpreter, the producer, Nakamura, who had just arrived, and a person named 'Rin' who came to interpret and explain..
“Hello, Dobin. nice to meet you.”
Before the interview, she shook my hand, and when we held hands, she took some candy out of her pocket..
They make me a lot of money and even give me candy..
He is a good person.
“Then let me begin. Just answer comfortably, so you don’t have to be nervous..”
I didn't know why I was nervous, but I thought that was it and moved on..
Lin put something on the table and prepared a pen and paper..
“3I heard you're a genius. How did you get started in music??”
Lin's words were relayed by an interpreter..
“4It's killing me?”
“uh? It's clear here.”
“haha. In Korean age, I am 4 years old. Dobin, in Japan, Dobin is still 3 years old..”
I nodded after hearing what Manager Nakamura said..
I thought it was interesting how to count age in Korea, but Japan looks the same as Germany..
“Then again. How did you get started in music??”
I was about to say that I started it because of a drunkard who was obsessed with money, but I quickly gave up the thought..
This is because people may misunderstand it as my father's work, and I don't think there's any need to reveal that I was born again..
‘Before that, you'll be treated like a crazy person..’
“haha. Dobin, you don’t have to be too nervous..”
Nakamura comforted me.
I don't even notice the nervousness, but I don't understand why they keep telling me to relax..
“I've heard it since I was young. great.”
“When I was young?”
A woman named Lin seemed to be looking at me..
“as a baby.”
corrected the answer.
“……Let's skip this. I heard a single album is coming out this winter. What do you think??”
“great.”
The woman named Lin suddenly seemed to freeze..
“Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk.”
Nakamura and Himura (producer) laughed out loud, and Rin asked me a question again..
They say he's a person who makes a lot of money, but contrary to Nakamura's words, he doesn't seem to be a skilled person..
“okay? Is it good too? how do you like it?”
“I like it a lot.”
I have no idea what this woman wants to say right now..
But I asked again if there was anything I wanted to hear..
“can you tell me why it's good?”
“I like it because I make a lot of money.”
At that moment, Nakamura and Himura, who had been laughing a little as if I had said something I couldn't, stopped laughing..
Lin, who looked slightly embarrassed, also said nothing..
‘Why are they like this??’
“Do, Dobin, do you like money? why?”
“Because I want to learn.”
“There is so much great music in the world. Chopin, Dvořák, Debussy, Sjo Stakovich, Rachmaninoff. There are so many people and songs I want to know..”
A woman named Lin asked with wide eyes..
“Do you want to learn more about music? Can you tell me what money has to do with that??”
“Because my family is poor..”
silence again.
I can't say anything.
Since you asked why money is good, I guess I'll just give the remaining answer and then go eat curry..
“Father, mother, I like it. I will make a lot of money and buy you a house. I will also learn music.”
“••••••How.”
I was a little surprised because the woman named Lin and the woman interpreting suddenly had tears in their eyes..
“How can such a young child do this?……
He's crying and saying something in Japanese, but I can't understand him at all..
‘These are strange women..’
“Manager, I’m going. I want to eat curry.”
Let's pull on Nakamura's sleeve..
He too was wiping away tears..
‘What the hell?’
