Beethoven Reborn - Episode 14
Beethoven Reborn Episode 014
5. 5Sal, meet a modern genius(2)
For a playing time of approximately 18 minutes.
Himura couldn't close his mouth.
Korean age is only 5 years old.
He's a child who couldn't even go to school..
This must have been my first time playing the piano, but the young genius played Beethoven's Sonata No. 8 in C minor to perfection without even sheet music..
Himura couldn't take his eyes off.
So did everyone else.
When Bae Do-bin's performance ended, Himura, still feeling the afterglow and checking the expressions of Bae Young-jun and Yoo Jin-hee, could see that they were also surprised..
I had no choice but to call the child..
“dobbin••••••
However, Himura could not continue his next words. He had no choice but to swallow again what he wanted to say.
It was because Bae Do-bin started playing again..
Ding ding didi- Ding ding didi-
Bae Do-bin's second performance began while the surprise continued, even before the afterglow of the first performance had completely disappeared..
Beethoven Piano Sonata No. 11 in B flat major, Op..22
Approximately 25 to 30 minutes of playing a lively piece that even a pianist of considerable skill would find difficult to express accurately (this is the case with most of Beethoven's pieces)..
Bae Do-bin remained surprisingly focused..
That persistence.
Himura couldn't believe his concentration and expressiveness, as if he was saying he had to play now..
Even adults couldn't do that unless they were professionals..
‘I can not believe it. It's impossible.’
Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 11 in B flat major, Op. 22 is often chosen as a music college entrance exam song..
This is because it is a song where the basics are so important, and although the melody produced by that child is said to be lacking in power,.
It was scary and persistent..
The melody expressed by persistently continuing the beat shook Himura’s heart..
If you think about it.
Even considering that Bae Do-bin was a child with outstanding compositional skills, he was already evaluated as ‘complete’ by the ‘great musician’..
Himura himself, Nakamura's manager, and all employees of the classic label Exton were amazed and amazed at Bae Do-bin's compositional ability..
however.
Now that I see it, Himura himself is still.
It was a situation where not only Exton, but all of Japan had to admit that they had underestimated the ‘musician’ called ‘Bae Do-bin’..
‘There are definitely some shortcomings.’
Bae Do-bin's piano playing had enough charisma to make it difficult to notice such minor mistakes and shortcomings..
Grumble-
Without even realizing it, Himura.
I cried after hearing a song played by a five-year-old child..
“ha.”
How much time has passed.
I took my hand off the keyboard and suddenly looked out the window, and it was already dark..
I think I played 5 or 6 sonatas in a row..
It was definitely not a satisfactory performance yet..
My hands didn't follow my thoughts.
Perhaps because the muscles in my hands have not yet developed properly, I did not move as I wanted..
I felt like my new body needed to get more accustomed to this action in order to play smoothly..
‘eww,
The tips of my still delicate fingers screamed..
Probably because I played the piano for hours without stopping..
But the reason I was thrilled was because I finally found hope that I could start again..
2, 3In fact, I was nervous at the thought that I might have to wait another year..
But we just need to start building again from now on..
And I got down from the chair.
My parents and Himura were looking at me blankly..
“Dobin.”
“yes.”
“Is this really your first time playing the piano??”
It was my first time in this life, so I nodded and Himura squeezed my hand..
Then he looked like he was touched by something, but he felt a little burdened and withdrew his hand..
My parents seemed surprised too..
I couldn't think of anything to make them understand, so I pretended not to know, and he didn't ask any more questions about how I can play the piano..
Himura asked while having a late dinner..
“I'm not curious about the reviews about resurrection?”
“why?”
“Dobin worked hard to make it. Aren’t you curious if people will like it? The man was very curious..”
“If it's my song, you'll definitely like it..”
“ha ha ha!”
Producer Himura paused for a moment and then laughed out loud..
“okay. There is no way people would dislike the song Dobin made..”
nodded.
In my life, music has been a means of struggle.
I couldn't live a life where I was flattered by nobles and had to make only the songs they wanted..
There were too many notes welling up inside me for that to happen..
There was so much music I wanted to make, not for others, that I had to express it to the world..
So, I have made music for the public, not for the nobility and the church..
The process was not smooth.
Because the moment my music stopped selling, I had to go out on the street..
‘I had to write music that would sell, and at the same time I had to sell it..
However, I could not give up my ideals for music, so I strived for perfection when creating a song..
Therefore, the ‘struggle’’.
I made revision after revision to the score until I was satisfied, or at least until it was completed..
There’s no way my music wouldn’t sell like that..
I am still convinced.
“How are you feeling? Is everyone liking it??”
While I was eating, paying attention to what Producer Himura was saying, my mother worriedly asked me about the reaction to the single album..
“Excellent. Sales trends are now slowing down, but reviews are praiseworthy. The dominant story is that the song's perfection is perfect..”
“thank god.”
“and… … Do you know anything about Mr. Sakamoto? If you are interested in classical music, you might know this..”
“Speaking of Sakamoto.”
My father thought for a moment and then.
“Are you really talking about Ryoichi Sakamoto??”
“That's right.”
When his father said someone's name, Producer Himura nodded happily..
He left the table for a moment and took out something that looked like a letter from his bag..
“Not long ago, he came to Japan from the United States, and Mr. Sakamoto heard about Dobin-kun's resurrection and said he would like to meet him at least once. You sent me this letter, and I will read it to you..”
Hello, my name is Ryoichi Sagimoto. As someone who works in music, I am sending this letter through Himura-kun despite all the trouble..
I found out about the two children, Nih Dobin, through an article..
If you don't mind, please allow me to provide support for Bae Do-bin..
‘ support?’
“Mom, what is sponsorship??”
I asked my mother the meaning of the word.
“I guess someone who wants to help Dobin contacted me..”
It was easy to guess what helping meant. It probably meant 'Unterstützung (Sponsorship)'..
Did that concept still exist in this era?.
However, if he made this offer in hopes of asking me for some kind of music, I am not willing to accept it at all..
It's thanks to the fact that I can already make money doing the music I want to do at a place called Exton..
“Could it be that……
“Mr. Sakamoto expressed his desire to teach Dobin. Of course, the costs involved and even the costs required for Dobbin County to grow..”
‘ Hoo.’
However, contrary to what I thought, a fearless friend seemed to have surprisingly said that he wanted to teach me..
I became interested in the contents of the letter read by Producer Himura..
“Thank you for your words, but... … . Dobin If you're talking about this?”
“Ah, just in case you were curious, I also brought a newspaper clipping..”
My mother looked at the paper with my face drawn on it and laughed as if she was embarrassed after hearing Himura's explanation..
On the other hand, my father put down his spoon and went into the room, looking very unhappy..
When my father said that, my mother, who had been laughing with embarrassment, also lost her smile..
“Dobin... … Did you really say this??”
“ah… … yes.”
Himura was taken aback by the sudden change in atmosphere..
I too could understand this atmosphere..
Because of the statement that money is good.
Maybe what I'm thinking is correct.
“Producer Himura, I'm sorry, but that's enough for today..”
“Ah yes. Never mind. Well, I'll see you again tomorrow afternoon..”
“yes. Thank you for coming this far. Also, thank you so much for gifting Dobin a piano that fits him well..”
“you're welcome.”
After seeing Himura off, my mother and I went into the room we were given..
“Dobin?”
As soon as I closed the door, my mother sat down and made eye contact with me..
“yes mom.”
“Mom is so happy that Dobin thought of mom and dad..”
My mother hugged me tightly, but I could tell that she was very sad right now..
I can't not know.
From a young age, I had to take responsibility for my family's livelihood..
That's why I didn't care if it made money..
A damn drunkard ruined our family..
My brothers died in the flooded house, and my mother passed away from an illness she contracted during the process..
Therefore, I am wary of ‘John’ and ‘poverty’ to the point of shaking my head..
and.
my brother caspar.
The sick guy's son 'Karl'’.
If I had been poor and Carl had tried to make money at a young age, I would have been heartbroken..
Even though I couldn't be with him and my nephew, I think I can understand their feelings now..
I was afraid of losing my family, so I did things I shouldn't have done to them..
It was only after receiving the warm affection of my current father and mother that I was able to learn little by little how to truly love others..
As I was focusing only on improving the situation, I had no choice but to admit that I had not thought about the most important part..
‘I'm sorry, Dad..’
‘I'll make a lot of money, Mom..’
No matter what you say, it will inevitably end up hurting your parents even more..
When my back got a little wet, my mother, who had been hugging me tightly, relaxed her arms and made eye contact with me..
Mother's eyes are red and moist.
“Dobin.”
“yes.”
“Are you doing music because you need to make money??”
I shook my head.
“I like music.”
I like music and I like money..
It was the same in my past life and it is the same now..
The reason I like money is because I am so sick of poverty..
I wanted to make music freely, but I always needed money to do it..
You might think I'm a snob, but.
There is no change in that thought..
But that doesn't mean you do music to make money..
I felt like I needed to clarify this with my mother and father..
I think the only way I can comfort you both right now is to convey this fact..
“You need money to make music. I want to do music.”
After hearing those words, my mother hugged me once again, and my father, who was burying his anger in the corner, also came over and hugged me and my mother..
perhaps.
I started to think that the greatest gift I have ever received might not be my ears, but my family..
