Beethoven Reborn Episode 145
33. Chopin International Piano Competition(4)
Choi Ji-hoon came on stage.
I closed my eyes, thought of a melody, and lifted my puffy chest up onto the keyboard..
The sight was quite solemn..
‘ Hmm.’
On the other hand, the judges were not very impressed with the final runner on day 5..
Just participating in the Chopin International Piano Competition preliminaries means that you have mastered the basics..
Except Bae Do-bin.
Those who passed the Creek Competition selection process did not leave much of an impression..
Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, who took second place in the Creek Competition, and Jako Van Stoffel, who took third place, received 210 and 208 points out of a total of 425 points, respectively, and were almost certain to be eliminated from the preliminary round..
It was a strange situation to expect Choi Ji-hoon, who was younger than those two and had lower grades at Creek..
Moreover, Chopin's Etudes in A flat major, the song designated for the first preliminary round, was by no means an easy song..
It was difficult for a young performer to express himself technically, physically, and in terms of musical depth..
In that situation.
Jihoon Choi started playing..
♪♫♬
♪♫♬
It may feel simple if you only think about the easily revealed melody, but.
Since the right and left hands play differently, it is quite difficult to express the performance three-dimensionally..
Above all, if you can't control the intensity, the sound will inevitably be muffled..
Choi Ji-hoon continued to perform surprisingly close to the standard..
‘This is quite……
‘I feel like I practiced a lot.’
Even the judges who weren't very interested were interested in Choi Ji-hoon's textbook performance..
Although it was a designated song that had already been heard dozens of times, Choi Ji-hoon's performance was enough to pass the test..
However, no one thought that Choi Ji-hoon would give a great performance until the end..
This is a song that requires endurance from the first song, but there are still five songs left..
The young pianist had no choice but to face physical problems as he had to continue playing for tens of minutes..
This was a problem that even Bae Do-bin, who is praised as the greatest genius of the 21st century, had not yet completely solved..
Therefore, Bae Do-bin often took a break after playing a song at a concert, and even in this preliminary round, he took a short break between songs to maintain his stamina, with a certain degree of penalty..
Nevertheless, it is bound to be very burdensome for a young body..
Is it different from Choi Ji-hoon?.
‘5I'll be big in a year.’
‘It's a pity, but at this rate, I'm looking forward to the future..’
These were the judges' honest impressions after hearing the first song..
as they expected.
Choi Ji-hoon, who finished the fifth performance, was sweating like rain..
Before the sixth performance, he took out a handkerchief, but it was already wet and was not of much help to Choi Ji-hoon..
‘You're desperate..’
Michael Blehatz from the jury's seat watched Jihoon Choi closely..
It's easy to give up due to exhaustion, but the 10-year-old is still faithfully playing his own Chopin..
Although they didn't know what was holding that child up, Michael Blehatz and the judges could sense that Jihoon Choi's will was strong..
and mazurka.
‘The way you control the tempo is smooth. Is it really clear?.’
Even though I have already reached my physical limits,.
Play that doesn't break down.
The judges could not have imagined that Choi Ji-hoon had already been sitting at the piano for more than 10 hours a day for several years..
Although the authority of the Chopin International Piano Competition, the virtuosos sitting as judges, and even the audience.
Although such elements act as a burden and the song itself requires stamina,.
Because I want to do better.
Just because of that, Choi Ji-hoon, who played the piano without resting even for a single day, did not break down even when he reached the last song..
He continued his performance beautifully..
‘There was another genius in Korea..’
Dimitri Alex gave 20 points and wrote 'YES' next to Jihoon Choi's name..
425th of the month.
After the preliminary round, the list of finalists and judges were released on the Chopin Association website..
Mr. Do-bean Bae
DA: 25 YES / MA: 25 YES
MB: 25 YES / KA: 25 YES
Bae Do-bin, who received the highest score of 25 points from all judges, proudly confirmed his brilliant name once again..
Ms. Nina Keverich
DA: 24 YES / MA: 23 YES
MB: 24 YES / KA: 22 YES
Nina Kebehiri received so much attention that her identity became a hot topic among the judges..
and.
Mr. Ji-hoon Choi
DA: 20 YES / MA: 17 YES
MB: 15 YES / KA: 17 YES
Choi Ji-hoon, who received a total score of 298 points, also passed the preliminary round and qualified to advance to the finals in October..
While we were having a small party in the hotel room while waiting for the results of the preliminaries before we parted ways, Nina Kebehiri screamed..
“oh! I passed, I passed.!”
It's obvious, but he seems quite happy and runs around hugging Park Seon-young..
Himura went to the computer where Nina was just sitting and turned his head..
“congratulations. It also passed.”
“ of course.”
Since it was only a preliminaries, I wasn't very impressed, but since Himura was begging me to contact his parents and grandfather, I had no choice but to say hello to him.
I took out my cell phone.
“ hello?”
_ son〜
The first time I heard my mother's voice in a few days was that she was really cheerful. I'm glad that her life in Europe seems to please her mother..
-how have you been doing? Are you brushing your teeth well? And it’s not just about eating curry.?
“yes. I'm eating well and eating well. I'm brushing my teeth well too..”
We ended the conversation after making small talk like that..
“yes. Oh, and I passed the preliminary round of the Chopin Competition..”
-This guy! I was so curious about her mother, and now that I tell her that. Even though I called, you didn't tell me, so I thought you might have fallen out..
‘'It's not a big deal' I was about to say, but then Choi Ji-hoon caught my eye..
The guy who still can't even look at the monitor properly is sitting on the sofa and covering his ears for fear that people around him will talk..
“Iknow, right. I'll call you again next time.”
-Yes, my son, fighting!
“Go for it.”
I hung up the phone and approached Jihoon Choi..
His eyes were closed tightly and his ears were blocked. When I touched him, he slowly opened his eyes..
“why?”
“I don't check the results?”
“what?”
The guy lowered his hands covering his ears..
“Why don’t you check the results?.”
“It's scary……
“Well done. You said you did your best.”
“But……
“But what is it? Check it out quickly.”
Nina Kebehiri shouted when Jihoon Choi woke up from the sofa groaning..
“oh! Dobin's friend also passed.!”
“ really?”
“really!”
Choi Ji-hoon, startled, rushed over and checked the list..
After a while, I stared at the monitor without saying anything..
I wondered what was going on, so I went to the side and looked at the monitor, and the scorecard caught my eye..
Although there were no high scores, it seemed like everyone understood Choi Ji-hoon's honest and honest performance, as he received an even average score..
“what. You confirmed it..”
“Ugh.”
Choi Ji-hoon took a deep breath..
“Hehe. Ugh. Chic.”
“……It's okay to cry.”
“Wow!”
I said something about crying once before, but he seemed to be holding it back, so I patted him on the back and told him that, and he started crying like he was crying..
He's crying so sadly that even other people who don't know how hard he works are looking at him with pride..
Nina Kebehiri hugged him tightly, and he felt the burden he had endured in her arms..
He expressed his joy at the fact that he was recognized..
next day.
Say hello to Nina Kebehiri.
“10See you in March! I won't lose then.”
“I will expect.”
Her performance in the preliminaries was very good, but.
It seemed like they were still in the process of finding out how to reveal themselves effectively..
I really looked forward to seeing her in full form..
“Bye-bye, boss! Seonyoung, let’s go!”
“Why is it only me……
Park Sun-young, who had to pick up Nina, looked at me and Himura with great regret as they returned on a private plane, but work is work..
As I boarded the plane, Jihoon Choi, sitting next to me, laughed. I've been smiling like that since yesterday.
“Hehehe
“Hit
“Is it that good?.”
“huh!”
I would have been practicing acting and playing the piano at the same time every day, so the fatigue wouldn't be surprising, but after listening to the performance yesterday, I felt like I didn't have to worry about neglecting the piano..
On the contrary, I wonder if he will be hurt by his greed to do both..
still.
I have no intention of stopping you because I know you love the piano so much that you have no choice but to do so..
“Wow! Anyway, I thought what would happen if I just passed the preliminaries. There is less than half a year left until the main line. What should I do?.”
Choi Ji-hoon sighed, perhaps feeling a little frustrated thinking about the finals..
10Since the finals are on the 9th of every month, there are five months and about a week left..
“You just have to do your best and play your best. That's it.”
“huh! It will happen!”
1Choi Ji-hoon was very prepared as he had to prepare three songs in the final round alone..
