Beethoven Reborn - Episode 174
Beethoven Reborn Episode 174
39. Piano Concerto No. 1 in C minor(3)
On the way to the secretariat, Furtwängler asked:.
“How was the interview?.”
“well. I do not know.”
Actually, I was half thinking about passing the exam, so I was a little disappointed with Na Yoon-hee's passive attitude..
At the concertmaster audition, her cool violin skills, ability to understand music, and proficiency in German were all signs of success..
So this interview was designed to understand her will..
Despite his timid personality, fortunately he didn't seem like a person who missed out on what he wanted..
As Na Yoon-hee herself said, if she had been the same Taeng, she wouldn't have been able to perform her music so coolly in front of people..
“Choosing people is like that..”
Furtwängler tried to look cool by loosening his neck..
“It doesn’t just mean recognizing that person and passing the exam. These days, people seem to find it easy to change jobs or fire incompetent people, but I think you should know that these tasks are not that easy. Interviewer and interviewer.”
That's right.
“When it comes to hiring someone, the applicant is responsible, but I also have to take responsibility for that person. I hope you remember it well.”
“Okay.”
As I nodded at Furtwängler's thoughtful attitude, an old incident suddenly occurred to me..
“But why didn't you check anything when you selected me??”
“Hahaha!”
When I asked about it, I remembered that they turned it on when I passed the exam without even checking with the secretariat, but they said I couldn't do it because of labor laws..
Furtwängler suddenly coughed..
“When you find a talented person, you need to know how to catch them quickly.!”
“That was a great excuse..”
“What an excuse!”
After arguing like that, we headed to the secretariat and were informed of the results of today's interview..
“Na Yoon-hee. all right. I'll contact you. From what I remember, I think I was working in a place of quite poor quality..”
“It's a place of poor quality.?”
“huh. I hear a lot of problems with the agency, such as settlement. Oh, that's right. Naise. It's going to get a little complicated when I terminate my contract with this side..”
I think the Berlin Philharmonic Secretariat will be able to help with such matters..
Because Camilla Anderson is competent..
“Well then, good work. director.”
“Yes, you worked hard. Chef.”
When they took turns seeing the two people acting in an unusually formal manner, they quickly went their separate ways..
There's probably no one who doesn't know this already, but it's a waste of effort..
“let's go together.”
I followed Furtwängler and headed to the practice room..
It was to talk about the piano concerto that I composed while I was resting..
When I handed over the sheet music, Furtwängler asked curiously:.
“hmm? Was this your first piano concerto??”
I was also a bit surprised when I was doing the numbering..
The first album was all sonatas or concertos with violin pieces, but the second album was closer to sonatas using two pianos..
‘Songs created upon request, such as ‘Greatest Hope’ and ‘Brave Soul’, were orchestral pieces..
It's unofficial, but the collection of exercises I made for Chae-eun also used two pianos..
This was the first time a piano concerto was performed with an orchestra..
“That's how it happened.”
“This is my first time writing so many piano pieces. It's weird. Let's listen.”
At Furtwängler's request, he sat down at the piano..
When I played it lightly, Furtwängler listened with a frown on his face and then looked up..
“Are you planning to kill the members??”
“why?”
“To me, it looks like a song that you should try if you can play it..”
“The Berlin Philharmonic can do it..”
Furtwängler did not answer, but looked at the score and then picked up the violin himself..
He was a great violinist who even served as concertmaster during Karajan's time..
When I played it with my piano, I stuck out my tongue..
Considering it was the premiere, I thought it was very good, but Furtwängler was very upset..
“Hey guy, how are you supposed to play something like this? I don't have time for regular concerts, so how much time would it take to do something like this??”
“are you okay. It's my job to play that role..”
“Wow.”
Furtwängler thought about it and put down the sheet music..
“……That's great. It's unconventional. Is there a title??”
He is also a dishonest person..
I finally expressed my feelings about the song..
“Beethoven reborn.”
“hmm?”
“I don't think Beethoven would have made a song like this if he were born again.?”
“I think it’s the perfect title to criticize..”
I just said this once, but when I said it seriously, I got a little angry..
“It's Berlin Fantasia..”
“Hmm. It's good. Then, when you play, Kerba Stein should be the concertmaster..”
“why?”
“Why why? If you play the piano, who will lead the violin?.”
Furtwängler and I just blinked at each other. Then I opened my mouth.
“We need to invite a piano soloist..”
“No, it's your song, so you have to sing solo. What does that mean?.”
“I'm a concertmaster..”
“So, aren’t you saying that I should set up another movement and have you play the piano?.”
“……I wanted to bring Nina Kebehiri..”
In fact, as Chae-eun took up piano as a hobby, she decided to leave the piano for Bae Do-bin Orchestra to Nina Kebehiri..
The Berlin Fantasia was that experiment..
“Are you going to do that just once and not do it? If the kid doesn't come, who will he play??”
“ ah.”
That too.
“Then I will do it..”
It's a bit disappointing that I can't be with Canon, but I have no choice but to pick up the piano for this piano concerto presentation..

next day.
Na Yun-hee couldn't believe her ears when she received a call from the Berlin Philharmonic Secretariat informing her of her acceptance..
“Me, really.?”
-yes. Congratulations. I have a few things to check to proceed with the contract. Are you able to visit within this week??
“Well, I'll go now. yes. yes. thank you!”
After finishing the phone call, Na Yoon-hee was overcome with emotion. She was even more delighted because she was sure she was going to fall..
“No way, I passed?”
Jae-eun Lee, Nayunhee’s manager and Naize Entertainment Team 2, asked..
“huh! I'll go out for a moment and come back.”
“Sister, wait a minute..”
Lee Jae-yoon caught Na Yoon-hee as she hurriedly packed her luggage..
“Think carefully. You have just started to be recognized as a solo artist. After 2-3 years, I will be able to get a lot of concerts and Neige will give me a big promotion, so I will go there to earn 50 to 60 million won at most.?”
“••••••uh?”
“Let's think realistically. Seriously, do you think her sister could get in there and she'd be able to compete among those hot guys? Even if it's a band, there's a lot of competition for space.
Mana is fierce. Deputy second violinist? Don’t the rank and file members there have names? They're all big names.”
“but.”
“My sister doesn't know much about the world. If you were my sister, do you think I would pick someone like you? Why do you think I'll pick it??”
“It's not obvious. Don't you need someone who can write cheaply? Haven’t you heard that the working environment there is the worst? Taking months to practice just one song?”
“That's for the sake of performance perfection.……
“You sound frustrated again. How much money would it cost to do one more concert during that time? what's the matter. huh? I was dissatisfied with the settlement ratio.?”
“That's not it.”
“Why did Neize wait for her unpopular sister? Now she's giving up?”
“Jae-eun••••••
It seems like it's done now.
Jae-eun Lee, who had poured out what he had to say, stood up. It felt like I had been betrayed by someone I really trusted..
As if you were hurt.
I sighed while trying to say something, as if I was holding back what I wanted to say on a topic where I had spit out all the nonsense I wanted to say..
Na Yoon-hee lowered her head at her actions..
Naise Entertainment was the only company that reached out to Na Yun-hee, who placed third in an international competition while in college..
Na Yoon-hee, who was desperate to pay for her father's medical treatment, was desperate for the 50 million won contract deposit that Naise Entertainment offered..
So the contract signed.
It was poisonous to her..
The settlement rate was 1/2 that of other musicians, and the money received in the name of down payment was 'money that had to be repaid'..
At least one additional year is added to the five-year dependent contract..
However, Na Yoon-hee thought there was no choice at the time..
Satisfied that I was able to treat my father in time, I continued working with Naise Entertainment..
By the time she graduated from college.
Na Yoon-hee, who had a murderous schedule traveling between Europe and other regions, only wrote off 50 million won and had not received a single won in settlement until then..
4.2 million won was paid out for the first time in 3 years..
Na Yoon-hee briefly traveled to Europe with her father and was able to confirm her dream again..
From then on, I began composing little by little and recorded the performances of famous conductors..
Because the process was so enjoyable.
Thanks to my father's support, I applied for the Berlin Philharmonic concertmaster audition..
When the contract renewal season arrived, Naise Entertainment gradually stopped giving her a chance to perform..
It was a petty act that tried to isolate me financially and force me into a situation where I had no choice but to renew my contract..
It was also a common industry trick..
In addition, Jae-eun Lee, assistant manager of Team 2 of Naize Entertainment, took advantage of Yoon-hee Na's passive personality..
They even criticized her morally..
This was because she was well aware that her playing was gradually being recognized in Europe..
This time, a down payment of 200 million won and a 10-year dependent contract were signed..
That was Jae-eun Lee's goal, which he received from the 2nd team leader at Naise Entertainment..
“……Jae-eun.”
Na Yoon-hee called her manager..
“why?”
“I really liked you. why. Why did you have to say that??”
“Does your sister talk really strangely? What did I do??”
Na Yoon-hee stood up holding her bag..
“Nana. Yes, I stutter, but I'm not stupid. … … I'll go.”
Na Yoon-hee, who was already shedding tears, turned around without even thinking about wiping them away..
Life over the past 6 years.
I felt foolish for trying to endure and maintain a good relationship despite being treated unfairly..
Na Yoon-hee was learning about the world little by little as the person she thought was close to her did not hesitate to make personal attacks in front of a contract..
