Beethoven Reborn Episode 117
27. 9Sal, Creek International Music Competition(2)
The total scores of each participant were announced immediately after the group A and B preliminaries of the Creek International Music Competition piano section..
A total of 18 judges can give a contestant a score ranging from 0 to 10..
All of these were added up and the participant with the highest number advanced to the finals..
However, Ryoichi Sakamoto's expression when he saw the evaluation sheet was not good..
‘I never thought I would do it so openly.’
The number 1 was written at the point where the initials TL and the name Mr Do-bean Bae meet..
“Ah, Sakamoto. You haven't returned yet..”
Someone called out Ryoichi Sakamoto, who was left in the judges' room..
“oh. Good job, Winston..”
He was a man from the United States who, along with Ryoichi Sakamoto, was famous as one of the world's greatest pianists and composers..
“Thank you for your hard work. How is it. Let's have a drink after this.”
“haha. It's a good thing, but maybe it's because I'm old and I can't sleep well when I drink..”
“That's a shame. But why still… … . You also saw Sakamoto..”
"hmm."
Boris Winston looked at the evaluation sheet Sakamoto was holding and sighed slightly..
“This is an incomprehensible decision. Mr. Toyotomi's grading is.”
“I think the same way.”
Ryuto Toyotomi, famous as a music critic, was quite well known in the music world..
Although he resigned from his professorship due to suspicions, he also once served as a professor in the piano department at the University of Santa Marque..
31ICMCOC, which was founded by classical music associations from 10 countries, also examines
He was someone worthy of being asked to serve as a committee member..
However, his actions were quite unreasonable..
“Jimmy was also taken aback. A ridiculous person was brought in as a judge. Did something happen at the Japanese Association??”
“It's obvious. Aren’t they pushing their own people?.”
“If you do this out loud, problems will arise..”
“Since it is a permanent member of the board, they probably think they can get away with it. foolish people.”
In ICMCOC, there was a country that took the lead in establishing an international classical music competition organizing committee by investing in economic and environmental infrastructure..
Germany, France, Japan, China.
These four countries qualified as permanent members and were able to enjoy various privileges in exchange for supporting ICMCOC's various events..
The first meeting was held in Vienna, Austria as a historical symbol, but it was the first time that a permanent member country had the right to hold 'Creek', which is held once every two years..
Second, when an agenda arises in the relevant organizing committee, the permanent members
It was stated that progress could only be made if everyone agreed..
“This person is truly outside of common sense. Meanwhile, Bae Do-bin, who took first place in total score, is also great..”
“LOL. There must be too much difference in level. If Dobbin had played first, the difference would have been bigger. Isn't it??”
Boris Winston nodded..
“I guess so. Usually, in a class like this, you have no choice but to make relative evaluations based on the first performer..”
The conversation between Ryoichi Sakamoto and Boris Winston was a simple one..
In the case of international competitions, there are scoring standards, but most of them are similar in terms of accuracy unless there are any special problems..
50While playing a program that lasts almost a minute, there are bound to be mistakes, but you can count them on one hand, and the important thing is to pay attention to how musically the performance is..
Both the expressive power based on song interpretation and the technique that makes it possible..
In that respect, it was natural that it would be a relative evaluation, and the standard for that was the first performer..
The first performer in Group A of the Creek Piano category was Eliza Beta Tuktamysheva, winner of the Russian preliminary round..
17She was a 18-year-old pianist with a high velocity..
The total score she received from 18 judges was 144 points. average 8.0.
Even though scores were given stingily to the first runner, it was an incredibly high score..
“I gave too much credit to Elizaveta Tuktamysheva. It was so great that I couldn't help it..”
“So I had no choice but to give full marks to Bae Do-bin..”
“Hehehe.”
Ryoichi Sakamoto looked down at the judging sheet..
18Bae Do-bin's score under the judges' initials is 10 for all but one..
The total score was 1 point..
“In the finals, the judging criteria will need to be strengthened further. I'll put it on the agenda at tomorrow morning's meeting..”
“I guess so..”
If the standard is set for Bae Do-bin, it will probably be more difficult for other contestants to get a score..
Ryoichi Sakamoto smiled wryly as he recalled how a few netizens on the Internet said that Bae Do-bin was destroying the ecosystem..
“really. It looks like the evaluation list hasn't been announced yet. Only the scores are revealed.”
Boris Winston looked down at the judging sheet and asked.
“Maybe you don't even want to announce it..”
“yes? But that would be throwing away the value of this contest. No matter how permanent a member of the board is, if they do something like that, I have no reason to remain as a judge any longer..”
“I think the same thing. I can't leave it like that. So, hey, can you help me??”
“ yes?”
The tiger, Ryoichi Sakamoto, who was lying down enjoying the sunlight, began to move..
“Dobin! You are first place in the preliminaries!”
Jihoon Choi jumped in and hugged me..
This guy, who is a year older and has a bigger physique than me, lost his balance and fell..
“float, fall.”
“Aren't you happy? It's so amazing!”
“It's natural. What am I happy about?.”
If I'm not first, who is first?.
Making a fuss about something that isn't a big deal.
“Guys, you get hurt.”
My mother came to me in surprise and shook out my and Choi Ji-hoon's clothes..
“Mom, Dobbin is really great.!
1I got the starting point. 1st point!”
“mother?”
When asked why he called my mother that, Choi Ji-hoon was a little embarrassed..
“ah.”
“okay? My son is amazing, isn’t he? Where is this son??”
Mother touched Choi Ji-hoon's face and asked kindly,.
“yes yes! I also passed the preliminaries!”
“Wow, my son is great..”
My mother hugged Choi Ji-hoon tightly and patted his back like she did for me..
‘Get off, man.’
I don't hate Choi Ji-hoon, who is shy but smiles, but I have a strange feeling about him..
‘By the way, why is it 1 point??’
Of course I thought I would get 180 points, but the score was lower than expected..
“Dobin, you worked hard. Should I eat curry today??”
After comforting Choi Ji-hoon, my mother's eyes were filled with wonder as she squeezed my hand..
I was able to forgive Choi Ji-hoon because I felt like he could tell how happy he was even if he didn't have to express it..
“I also added chicken and frankfurter..”
My mother thought for a moment and nodded..
“okay. Because today is a day to celebrate. Instead, it's just today?”
You can eat curry with chicken and frankfurter (frankfurter sausage) together!.
It's the happiest day in the last month.
I went with my mother, Himura, Jihoon Choi, and his butler to a nearby curry restaurant..
“wow.”
“Everyone, eat a lot..”
“thank you for this food!”
“Dobin, this is my first time eating food like this..”
“This is my first time with such luxurious curry..”
“Mmm! This sausage is so delicious. Mr. Butler, please try it too..”
“haha. Young master, please eat a lot too..”
Korean and Japanese curries are delicious, but the Indian curries eaten in Europe are also very flavorful and satisfying..
While we were eating, Himura told us a nice story..
“I decided to sign a contract with Nina Keberich..”
“really?”
“If it’s Nina… … . Dobin, is that the person I saw last time??”
“ yes.”
“You saw Jinhee too. I met Dobin because he recommended it, and he turned out to be a really great resource. It was decided to be managed by Saetbyul Entertainment..”
“You're really good at playing the piano, so that's a good thing..”
“yes. I'll go to my room later because it would be a good idea for my mother to talk about the contract-related matter..”
It seems that Choi Ji-hoon and the butler's grandfather are worried..
After returning from the meal, Himura told his mother what I had said..
The story was that I wanted to foster Nina Keberich as an investor in Saetbyul Entertainment..
“Dobin, you really want to do that.?”
“yes. He was the most unique pianist I've ever seen..”
“But you don't know much about it. Wouldn’t it be better to find out more before making a decision??”
There's definitely no harm in being careful because you never know what might happen, but luckily Himura had been learning more about her over the past few days..
Come to think of it, Himura wouldn't have tried to sign a contract without researching the other person..
“First of all, it looks like he doesn't have a job and only works part-time from time to time..”
It certainly didn't seem like he had a lucrative job..
“I am 18 years old and have completed secondary school..”
“Then you have completed compulsory education.?”
“yes. I haven't been to school since I was 15. I lost my parents early and had no means of making a living..”
“ah……
My mother sighed sadly..
“What about the piano??”
“It looks like you taught yourself how to play the piano. He told me that it was the only thing his father left behind..”
There is no teacher.
Even though it made sense, I couldn't understand it easily..
When I think about her unique personality, I think it was possible because no one touched her..
And alone without anyone to guide me
I couldn't help but be surprised that he had that level of skill..
“The unusual thing is that he audited a lecture at the University of Santa Marque..”
“audit?”
When I asked about a word I didn't know for the first time in a while, my mother explained it to me..
“Students who are not formal students but are taking lectures are called auditors..”
ah•. Gasthörer.
I also attended several humanities lectures at this university..
As if I seemed to understand, Himura continued his explanation..
“I was really curious about what I learned at music school. Since he didn't have money, he asked a professor at the Santa Marque piano department at the time to audit a semester of classes..”
There is no way that just one semester would have helped..
“Why was there only one semester??”
“They didn't tell me that. Maybe it was difficult to make a living, or maybe it wasn't the environment he wanted. Well, I might have been satisfied after taking one semester..”
“How did you meet Charles Braum?
Will?”
“That was a bit absurd. I knew someone at Charles Braum's agency, so I asked them to find a local piano accompanist, and it seems like the owner of the building happened to introduce me. Oh, and Charles Braum also asked her if he would be her accompanist..”
Certainly, with that level of skill, any violinist would be coveted. Especially if you are a solo artist, you need an accompanist..
“He said he was thinking about it.?”
“no. He said he refused. I don't like people so it would be uncomfortable to go together..”
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
It was such a refreshing statement that made me laugh..
After hearing a brief explanation about her, I wanted to help Nina Keberich even more..
Although she is my descendant, her talent was too precious to be buried like this..
“Mom, this guy is going to be a really great musician..”
“okay. Listening to him, he seems like a hard-working person. Himura, please take good care of me..”
“sure. Dobbin is money, so you can't waste it..”
