Beethoven Reborn - Episode 199
Beethoven Reborn Episode 199
45. throne(3)
To change the mood, Chae-eun and I each sat in front of the piano..
“I'm really bad at it.”
“ are you okay.”
Piano Etudes No. 1 in C major for Chae-eun Chae-eun.
As I started playing slowly, Chae-eun began to follow. It's better than I thought she was letting go of her hand at all..
You still have a perfect sense of tempo, but the keys are heavy without the liveliness they used to be..
When he hesitated, he filled in the note accordingly and then continued playing again..
“Wow, what is this? It's so good.”
When she finished playing, Azalea slapped her thighs with her hands and applauded..
“Piano exercises for Chae-eun Chae. I didn't have a song to practice on before, so I made it for you..”
“and. It's a name that tickles me.”
Azalea laughed. Then she went to her room and brought back her bass..
“I want to join you too. I really want to do it.”
Choi Ji-hoon and Chae-eun didn't say anything, but they looked quite surprised. I think it's because there's no way I couldn't have seen Azalea's prosthetic hand..
I gave up my piano seat to Choi Ji-hoon and took up the violin..
“What should I do?”
Because Chae-eun and Jin Dal-rae's repertoire was limited, there was nothing they could play..
“Let's do it impromptu.”
As soon as I started playing notes, Choi Ji-hoon started playing the piano and Jin Dal-rae started laying down the bass..
Chae-eun hesitated for a while and added accompaniment to Choi Ji-hoon's melody..
“Hehehehe. It's a mess.”
As soon as she finished playing, Azalea started laughing and Chae-eun and Choi Ji-hoon laughed along..
Me too.
Messy but pretty enjoyable.
Then suddenly, the Earth Defense Garland came to mind. I've seen Choi Ji-hoon and Chae-eun in the past, and I thought they might know Jin Dal-rae, who is a similar age..
“Oh, I know this.!”
Chae-eun, who regained her vitality, joined the performance. Choi Ji-hoon assisted Chae-eun in her performance..
As I played the theme song of the cartoon movie I watched when I was young, I started to breathe a little more..
If I later create the Ludwig Orchestra, will it start like this??
The process was very enjoyable.
Even during the period of preparation for the year-end concert, the story about OOTY continued to be a hot topic..
The story came up naturally, and Chae Eun said it as if it was obvious..
“That's the Berlin Philharmonic!”
“ me too.”
Choi Ji-hoon nodded and Azalea thought about it and said, ‘I don’t know.’.
Soso and Na Yun-hee also answered, of course, the Berlin Philharmonic, but Ryoko Nakamura's answer was different..
“What are the standards??”
Since this was a serious story, I thought about it for a bit and came up with different answers..
Me, Choi Ji-hoon, and Chae-eun mentioned musicality, Soso mentioned sales, and Na Yoon-hee mentioned fan base..
“that… … Isn’t it important to be able to embrace a variety of people??”
It's true after hearing it..
“money is best Because money is a sign of good music and a lot of fans..”
Soso pointed out a surprisingly realistic point. She certainly has a point..
Since there is no indicator that can accurately indicate musicality and popularity (fans), it is said to be sales..
Everyone began to think seriously about Soso's words, and Azalea came forward..
“It's very dull. How about making less money? It's important to make great music.”
This too is a definite opinion.
While there was no answer, Lee Seung-hee, who had come to visit her mother and Na Yoon-hee, gave a clear answer..
“Don't they know best??”
Everyone looked at Seunghee Lee at those words..
“Right? I honestly think that Berlin is the best for Beethoven and Brahms, but for opera, the Vienna Philharmonic is probably better..”
When I told the story to Furtwängler, he laughed..
“It's as they say. Who receives OOTY?
Nya is important, but keep in mind, Dobin. I always do my best, but I have to work harder next year. So that London musicians can feel it for themselves.”
Furtwängler seems to want to set an example for musicians who cooperate with Interplay..
Not only that, but most of the anti-interplay musicians centered in Berlin seem to have this idea, and to be honest, I have never found their music any better..
On the contrary, I like the London Philharmonic and the London Symphony..
You can feel the nostalgia of the classics in the performance of the London Symphony led by master Bruno Walter..
‘There's no reason to fight.’
I've said this to many people over and over again, but there is no such thing as bad music, but there is no bad genre..
In the end, the London School and the Berlin School only have different musical worldviews..
It's not up to you to judge which side is right or wrong..
‘The bad thing is that Interplay is trying to dominate the market by framing it as good and evil..’
Thinking like that, I strangely became interested in OOTY..
If all music fans around the world pay attention, wouldn't we be able to make them realize that London's music and our music are good?.
While I was thinking about that, I heard a good story..
“Please pay attention for a moment.”
Camilla Anderson entered the practice room. Everyone turned their gaze and Camilla posted an official letter on the bulletin board..
“The World Classical Music Association is planning to hold a competition in February next year. Please check that it is included in the OOTY rating. Chef and orchestra, please give us a moment..”
At the secretariat, Camilla was asked if she would like to participate..
“Of course I should participate..”
Kerba Stein went first. Paul Richter agreed with him, Charles Braum was put on hold, and Soso has not expressed his intention yet..
It was surprising that Furtwängler, who had been so enthusiastic with OOTY, remained still, but Soso opened his mouth..
“The schedule is vague.”
As soon as Soso finished speaking, Furtwängler opened his mouth..
“Just preparing for the end-of-year and beginning-of-year concerts is tight. Even though we've increased the number of people, we can't catch the members again. Besides, the competition schedule is one month. We haven't been able to hold regular concerts for three months due to expansion construction, and that can't happen this time either. It's deceiving the fans.”
As expected, Furtwängler's first priority seems to be a fan of the Berlin Philharmonic..
I couldn't help it, but I thought it would be better to focus on regular concerts, so I tried to agree with Furtwängler, but he said firmly:.
“Participate as Team B.”
Camilla and the choir were surprised by Furtwängler's words..
“yes?”
“Let's go to the practice room. Camilla, please come with us too..”
Furtwängler seems to have made up his mind. Like a tyrant, he moved his feet without explanation..
Furtwängler began his speech from the podium in front of all members..
Through an official document sent by the World Classical Music Association, he emphasized the importance of regular concerts to the members who shared the general situation..
Most members agreed.
“So we will let Team B participate..”
As expected, the response is ambiguous..
Everyone agreed that team A would not participate due to the situation, but that does not mean they wanted team B to participate..
However, it appears that Furtwängler, who has declared that he will destroy London, has no option of not participating..
‘What kind of expressions do you all have?.’
When I looked at the people, they looked a little confused..
As expected, Team B was made up of members who had joined the team only two or three months ago..
Although Furtwängler possessed a level of skill that allowed him to join the orchestra, it was still weak as an orchestra..
There is inevitably not enough time to raise the overall quality, from composition to breathing..
It is true that it is lacking compared to other orchestras that will participate in proper formation..
“Movement leader Dobin Bae, forward.”
When we went next to Furtwängler, he spoke again to the members..
“Here, Concertmaster Bae Do-bin will lead Team B and participate in the OOTY Orchestra Competition. No objections.”
“I have an objection.”
Hans raised his hand..
Furtwängler ignored him and continued talking. Na Yoon-hee patted Hans' limp back..
“I know what you're thinking..
I think it might be too early to join the Vienna Philharmonic, the Amsterdam Gerbau, and the London Symphony. I know very well that you are still lacking..”
When Furtwängler first told Team B that they needed time, the faces of Team B members, who had been filled with worry, brightened slightly..
“However, if you participate with that mindset, I will not forgive you. If there are people who think they are the second team just because they are team B, pack up your bags and leave now..”
Furtwängler looked around at the members. .
“As long as it bears the name of the Berlin Philharmonic, sloppy attitudes and performances are not permitted. You are the best players I have chosen. Please don't even dream of staining my face..”
Furtwängler dragged me to the podium and went down himself..
“The goal is to win. The best musician will be with you. Come and play your best.”
Furtwängler took a step back..
The members focused their attention on me..
I felt like I needed to say something, but Furtwängler said all the nice things..
“I work harder than usual.”
I don't know why, but the members of Team A looked pitifully at Team B..
* * *
The Berlin Philharmonic B team fell into despair after checking the scheduler prepared by conductor Dobin Bae..
09：00~09：30 Meeting
09：30~12：30 Part practice
13：30~17：00 joint practice
17：00~17：30 personal maintenance
18:00-1930 chamber music performance
19：30~20：00 Concert review
I did not rest from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm except for 1 hour for lunch and 30 minutes for dinner..
Moreover, thanks to conductor Bae Do-bin, who caught mistakes like a ghost, the members had no choice but to be very tense every hour..
Otherwise, the Happyeong time starting at 19:30 would have been too painful..
On days when there were no concerts, they left work early, but as individual practice was required, the members became increasingly fatigued day by day, but the Asian members were particularly energetic..
Bae Do-bin from Korea and Na Yoon-hee, who became the second violinist of the B team..
Team B concertmaster Su So from China and Xian Yan of contrabass.
Team B violinist Takahiko Ota from Japan lived a normal life..
In the end, the first violinists who endured the arduous schedule visited Soso..
“Movement, movement is not difficult.?”
Soso, who was eating lunch, turned his head..
“ What?”
“The schedule is so tight. We need to give ourselves time to rest..”
‘Are you still resting??’
Soso thought for a moment and said as if something had occurred to him..
“I wish there was time for a nap after lunch..”
I thought it was strange that it was time for a nap after lunch, but the members were relieved to see a positive response to the movement leader's extension of the rest time..
The same was true for the second violin, and they asked their principal Na Yoon-hee..
“Chief, I think the schedule is too excessive. What do you think??”
“Is that so? I'm so comfortable……
From high school to Naise days.
For Na Yun-hee, who had never left school or finished work before 10 o'clock, the working conditions at the Berlin Philharmonic were like heaven..
The same goes for the Japanese, so members from Germany and other regions held out their tongues..
‘toxic asians.’
However, their complaints began to fade little by little as they experienced the improvement in their skills in just two weeks..
