The significance of Orchestra Daejeon was to pursue more beautiful music..
People around me say that the classical music world, which was gradually becoming rigid, was stimulated by me..
Such grandiose stories are just inconvenient..
Even when I tell him that I only make music for myself, he doesn't even pretend to listen, so I just turn a blind eye, thinking that what's good is good..
This situation is the same whether it was in my previous life or now..
Anyway, perhaps because of that, the OOTY Steering Committee hoped that the orchestra competition would not be a one-time event..
It seems that the classical music world, which was experiencing a boom, wanted to grow even more, and that feeling was expressed in the judging method of the orchestra competition..
The details of when the judging panel will be dispatched and who will be dispatched are kept completely secret..
The idea is that you should evaluate your regular performance, but to put it another way, it means that you should always work hard..
Everyone seems to like that..
Before the first meeting with the collaborator.
As I was about to enter the meeting room with King Gau, I heard a conversation inside..
This is a story about Orchestra Daejeon..
“Ugh. I'm a little anxious.”
“I guess so. There is such a thing as mental preparation..”
“I couldn't help but laugh when my college classmates told me that the Berlin Philharmonic was so great that they would win the orchestra competition..”
“Honestly, we and A are different... … Charles Braum also succeeded thanks to Concertmaster Dobin Bae and Concertmaster Charles Braum..”
“ha. All I can do is sigh.”
“ me too.”
“What do you think, Chief Na Yoon-hee??”
“Me, me? I am......
“……How angry will the chef be if he doesn't win??”
“It's okay if you just get angry. I might not return to that personality at all..”
I couldn't say anything because of the conversation I heard inside. King Gau, who was a collaborator, must have heard it, so he was even less pleased..
I completely understand your position, but I don't know since when did the Berlin Philharmonic become so unconfident?.
Regretful.
When I opened the door, members greeted me..
“Ah, the concertmaster. Mr. Gauwang.”
Sure enough, the foul-tempered Gau King looked around at the members and frowned..
“Kid, since when did the Berlin Philharmonic become so weak??”
Although this is being said to me, it is an action that seems to be telling everyone to listen. It's a shame, but I had the same thought..
“It's terrible to collaborate with an orchestra like this. I'm going back.”
King Gau turned around and I didn't catch him. Instead of looking at the closed door with a nervous sound, I looked at the members. and asked.
“Are you anxious?.”
Except for Soso, concertmaster of the Berliner Philharmoniker B, principal second violinist Yunhee Na, and timpanist Dieskau, everyone avoided my eyes..
I asked Na Yoon-hee.
“Chief Na Yoon-hee.”
“……yes.”
“Are you anxious??”
Na Yoon-hee hesitated for a moment, nodded, and answered yes with difficulty..
I knew how hard she was trying to move on, so I asked again..
“What are you anxious about?.”
“Ah, ah……
Na Yoon-hee almost looked like she was going to cry, and So-so made a gesture as if she was trying to say something..
But I stopped her by looking at Soso..
Na Yoon-hee may be timid, but she is neither stupid nor stupid. She is the one who worked hard on herself until late last night..
She was the most trustworthy person in the Berlin Philharmonic B, and I hoped that the members would follow her example..
When I looked at Na Yoon-hee again, she answered the question while stuttering..
This is a repeat of yesterday’s conversation..
“Everyone, everyone, everyone is targeting us a little... … I feel burdened.”
Let's talk for a while.
“Oh, we can't even follow the conductor yet, but other great orchestras do..”
Deputy Second Violinist agreed with Na Yun-hee's words..
“that's right. Actually, I wouldn't know if it was A. From Vienna to Amsterdam, London to Chicago. There's no way we can beat a place like that..”
“Do you really think so?”
saw him Since there was no more answer, I asked Na Yun-hee again..
“What did Chief Na Yoon-hee do to soothe that anxiety??”
Na Yoon-hee, who hesitated for a while, looked at me..
I trust me and her..
Na Yoon-hee must have faith in herself as much as she believes in me..
Because I tried.
I wanted to inform the members of the attitude they should have through the conversation between me and Na Yoon-hee..
Although her voice trembled violently, Na Yun-hee must have made up her mind and spoke without stuttering..
“ I practiced.”
I try harder because I know my shortcomings. In this way, we can go one step further..
But this story.
There is no way it would work on adults with big heads. Because the limits I crossed over and over again when I was young now seem so high..
Even I feel pressured by Marie Jans's Amsterdam and the Vienna Philharmonic, so it's worth it..
But Na Yoon-hee knows the answer to this problem..
she continued.
“I will continue to work hard to make better music. Then, obviously,
I'm sure I'll be able to give another great performance like Charles Braum..”
“thank you for the great answer.”
looked around and said.
“Chief Na Yoon-hee spoke on my behalf for what I wanted to say. We know how much pressure you must be feeling, but all we can think about is making better music..”
At that time, the viola player came out..
“But the chef says we have to win.……
Another person came forward.
“Everyone is targeting us. Wouldn't it be better for Team A to participate? Team A will definitely be able to win. Actually we……
“that's right. In fact, the Berlin Philharmonic B is not yet comparable to Vienna or Amsterdam..”
It's true.
“Then why on earth……
I don't think they know why I and Furtwängler, who hate rankings, are participating in this competition..
Despite Interplay's media offensive and ego competition with other orchestras, Furtwängler said clearly:.
If that were the reason, Furtwängler or I would have participated with Team A even if there had been a problem with the schedule..
But Furtwängler left it to the Berlin Philharmonic B..
“Do you remember what Furtwängler said when everyone decided to participate in this competition??”
“I know very well that you are still lacking. However, if you participate with that mindset, I will not forgive you. If there is anyone who thinks they are the second team just because they are Team B, I tell them to pack their bags and leave right now.……
The chief cellist said it without a single mistake..
I also have a good memory..
Thanks to you, it became easier to explain.
“you're right. Furtwängler hoped that we would grow through this competition. Things are just a little different. Before the competition started, we had achieved results and were successful. As he said, I hope you don't think that it's a 2nd division, and that it's lacking. Just like the A-Team you look up to, you too are the Berlin Philharmonic. I am a member of the world's best orchestra, the Berlin Philharmonic..”
He said while looking at Na Yoon-hee. Her hands are in front of her and her fists are clenched.
“Orchestra Daejeon will be a place to prove it..”
Everyone is probably practicing hard..
Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to digest 'Charles Braum' so quickly and to my satisfaction..
I wish they had more confidence.
Like their predecessors, Team A and Furtwängler, I would like to convey their pride in the name Berlin Philharmonic and their passion for music..
OOTY Orchestra Daejeon is meaningful because I believe that such a mindset is the driving force for further growth..
“I understand the burden of being everyone's goal in such a situation. However, if you are pressured by that burden, there will be no further progress. You are the one who has to impress the audience, not the one who has to beat the other musicians..”
Although the stimulus of competition helps improve each other's skills, we should not become absorbed in it..
“we do our music.”
The members nodded..
Among them, Dieskau raised his hand..
“yes.”
“Can I help you out with a word??”
“sure.”
Dieskau stood up, looked around at the members, and said:.
“Wow. It's hard to say this since I just joined, but in my opinion, the Berlin Philharmonic is the best. best. Everyone was feeling burdened and I was wondering how to appease them, but lo and behold. Our conductor, Concertmaster Bae Do-bin, said it's okay if we don't win, so let's all stop feeling pressured and practice hard like musicians! Isn't that right, leader??”
Everyone looked at him with puzzled eyes..
“ no.”
said with a smile.
“I can’t forgive you if you don’t win..”
***
When I came out, King Gau was smoking a cigarette at a distance..
I went back and hit him on the back..
“ evil.”
“Why are our members discouraged??”
“If I had known they were such pathetic people, I wouldn't have asked you a favor. … … sorry. You must be having a hard time too.”
I hit him on the back again..
“See you again tomorrow. Everyone was just shaken for a moment.”
King Gau looked at me and narrowed his eyes..
“you've changed?”
“What?”
“no what……
“If you have something to say, just say it. Don't be frustrated.”
“it's okay.”
King Gau extinguished his cigarette and threw it in the trash can and said:.
“If you say so, let's meet again.”
Actually, I also came to perform together, but I would have been very disappointed if the atmosphere of the orchestra was like that..
I can fully understand King Gau’s actions..
But that's it, being sad is just being sad.
Since the soloist and the concertmaster are bound to be close to each other, they should be placed closer together..
