Beethoven Reborn Episode 244
54. no one else(10)
Choi Ji-hoon, who heard that practice was scheduled, hurried to find Bae Do-bin and was able to see Bae Do-bin buried in the sheet music..
There were sheet music scattered all over the floor as well as the table..
Jihoon Choi picked one of them up..
I looked at it and laughed a little..
‘It's still the same.’
It's a lot better than when I was young, but Bae Do-bin's score was difficult to recognize..
Although he said the handwriting was meant to emphasize parts that cannot be understood through symbols and instructions alone, Jihoon Choi thought that it might simply be bad handwriting..
After putting down the sheet music where it was, I approached Bae Do-bin..
“When do you start practicing??”
“From now on.”
Jihoon Choi looked around and asked again..
“here?”
“huh.”
“Others?”
“I only need you.”
Bae Do-bin handed over the just completed score to Choi Ji-hoon..
Jihoon Choi was puzzled, but took it and began to look through it..
Little by little his mouth opened..
“I tried the cadenza again. I'll leave it to you, but please refer to it..”
Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 was a piece that placed a lot of burden on the pianist as it ended with a cadenza and coda for a solo piano..
Moreover, because Bae Do-bin was caught based on himself, it was inevitable that it would be more difficult than usual..
It was like that when I first practiced..
Now, even modifying the score was a harsh request..
Jihoon Choi sat down to take a closer look..
‘Too many instructions.’
After reading the sheet music for a while, he got up, went to the piano, and started playing the keys..
‘ ah.’
Although it was a first-time reading, Choi Ji-hoon seemed to know why Bae Do-bin modified the cadenza..
The strength and weakness of the tempo was emphasized in a beautiful and somewhat calm part..
Because there was a space, there were parts where the sound could be received in depth, and in other parts, the sound came flooding in explosively..
It was an emotional melody that suited Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 perfectly..
‘You've made something like this so far.’
I was able to understand parts that didn't make sense when I looked at the sheet music, but when I actually played it, I was able to understand it..
‘As expected, Dobin is a genius..’
I've seen it for over ten years, but this time I was just amazed..
When I think about it, it was because of Bae Do-bin, a genius, that I was able to stop obsessing over the word genius, and on the other hand, the reason I yearned for it even more was because of Bae Do-bin..
This is what excites me as a musician..
“Good.”
Dobin Bae approached Jihoon Choi after he finished playing..
“I think this part can be left a little more empty..”
“more anxiously?”
“that's right.”
Choi Ji-hoon started playing again, and Bae Do-bin closed his eyes and pondered his performance..
Choi Ji-hoon started playing again.
I thought it would be a bit difficult, but I played it for the first time today and it was quite easy..
As I have been exceptional at expressing sounds since I was young, I think I will be able to hear good performances if I improve my skills..
I don't approve of people who are revered or who call themselves geniuses, but I think we need to think a little differently about this guy..
Until recently, he was going through a slump and becoming weak, but he has grown significantly over the past few months and now fully understands what I mean..
Choi Ji-hoon continued playing after taking a proper rest as requested for the part he had just pointed out..
‘Good.’
Rather than just looking at the score, you understand why I added those instructions and add your own color to express them more effectively..
It feels good to add staccato after just taking a break..
‘If it were anyone else, I would have complained first..’
Any other pianist would have been dissatisfied with the extensive revision of the score just days before the performance..
Even if he couldn't tell me directly, he would have been upset inside, but in a way, that's natural..
I can't help but feel dissatisfied because all my preparations were in vain..
However, there can be no compromise or concession in the face of the great proposition of standing up for a better performance..
This attitude was the same for me, Amadea, and Haydn..
Furtwängler and Marie Jans, who are now recognized as the best conductors, are no different..
Through the first round, they proved why they have been called the best musicians for nearly half a century..
No matter how great a conductor he is, there is no way he would be able to perform like that from the beginning..
After countless trials and errors, I must have completed a performance that even I, who wrote the song, had no choice but to acknowledge..
Until just before going on stage.
Do your best to compete with modern masters..
That's why I chose Jihoon Choi as my concerto for the second round and no one else..
This guy feels the same way as me..
King Gau, Nina Keberich, and Choi Sung-shin, who have grown significantly, are great, but their passion for 'growth' is not as strong as that of Choi Ji-hoon..
King Gau is already in the process of refining himself beyond his limits, and Nina has been perfected since they first met..
This is the stage of refining yourself based on the level you have pioneered and reached..
But Jihoon Choi is different..
In expressing the tone, in controlling the keys, and in observing and understanding the score,.
Absorbing all the elements of playing the piano.
If necessary, I play like a Gau king, including my own style, and I often imitate Nina Ke Berich's unique style..
Sometimes, some people criticize Choi Ji-hoon and say he has no color, but the fact that he can play all kinds of instruments is his characteristic..
In the past, no, it may feel somewhat lacking right now, but as time passes, Choi Ji-hoon's value will see the light of day..
There is no such thing as ‘scope’ for a greedy guy..
I'm sure.
A guy who has a passion for music more than anyone else, and because of that there are no limits to his growth, is a true musician..
‘Those who are called ‘geniuses’ can all solidify their thoughts by looking at this guy..
Choi Ji-hoon finished playing..
He fell from the piano, sat down in front of the table, and made a groaning noise..
“Wow.”
“what's the matter?”
“It's too difficult. There are a few days left?”
Choi Ji-hoon folded his fingers and counted the days..
“Repechage matches until tomorrow and the group draw the day after tomorrow... … . There are only 4 days left?”
“you can do it.”
“You know I'm slow.”
The guy fell down on the table and muttered. Afterwards, he snapped his fingers and reproduced the newly received sheet music..
“It's slow because I'm trying to do everything.”
“That's how it should be!”
I laughed without realizing it.
That's true.
“Prepare well. Let's show it to Furtwängler and Marie Jans..”
“Ugh. do not say that. Even if I don’t do that, it’s very burdensome..”
“King Gau will be angry if he hears this..”
“what does that mean?”
“I asked to join you, but you refused. I might never see you again if you say something like that after taking my place with that guy's personality..”
When I said this jokingly, Jihoon Choi grabbed his head..
“Nonsense.”
“So let’s work hard and come in first place.”
“1etc? There is Mr. Gauwang and Amsterdam.?”
Marie Jans and Gauwang are definitely a heart-pounding meeting..
I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of performance they will play..
“I'm sure it will be a good performance. Still, we are in first place. It's so important that the 3rd round seed is at stake..”
“……I feel a little sick.”
The reason I like Choi Ji-hoon is that he is genuinely worried and afraid of this situation, but does not lose his will..
I know that even if you whine in front of me, you try desperately behind my back..
It wouldn't be a bad idea to give some encouragement and motivation..
“Nina only wanted to win..”
“Because Nina is good at it too. … … Now that I think about it, Ariel in Los Angeles is also amazing. It's no wonder why a person like that wasn't well known until now.?”
Gustav Hanael, who is taking a break, may have intentionally kept it away from the media because it would be harmful to the LA Philharmonic if it became known..
“anyway. I need to show it properly on a stage like this..”
“ what?”
“How long will you be treated like a child? You like it, Nina..”
“ ah.”
Jihoon Choi stayed still and then turned his head slightly..
“that is… … . no.”
“what?”
“I like it, but it's not like that. Should I call it admiration?.”
Jihoon Choi strangely avoided eye contact and spoke. You look embarrassed.
“I'm not as funny as Nina or I'm boring. I thought it was really cool that he was so clear both as a person and as a pianist..”
I didn't know you were thinking like that..
I thought you liked it, but I didn't teach you this and that, so I feel a little sorry..
“Still, I have to work hard to be recognized by Mr. Gauwang and Nina. Oh, I want to go hear the LA Philharmonic play later.?”
Jihoon Choi smiled brightly..
It looks like there was no need for cheering..
“no.”
“uh? why?”
“That guy is unlucky.”
“Him? Ariel Jans? why?”
Without answering, he sat down at the piano and began playing the cadenza from Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto..
After two days of repechage, all the orchestras that will advance to the second round of the OOTY Orchestra Daejeon have been decided..
The French National Broadcasting Orchestra, which was unfortunately eliminated after being placed in the same group as the Royal Concertgebouw and the Chicago Philharmonic, returned to the stage as first place in the repechage round..
The magazine Le Monde de la Musique advertised on its home page that Orchester National (French National Broadcasting Orchestra) would show the essence of French orchestras..
2Ariel Finn Jans' Los Angeles Philharmonic succeeded in preserving its honor by taking the top spot..
In addition to these, Italy's Santa Cecilia Conservatory Orchestra and Hungary's Budapest Festival Orchestra successfully recovered from the losers and filled the final spot in the second round (round of 24)..
The atmosphere was ripe, and each media company introduced the orchestras that advanced to the second round under the title Best Orchestra of 2023..
1The names listed in order of points earned in the game seemed to have a weighty feel just from the words alone..
1. Berlin Philharmonic A
2. Amsterdam Royal Concertgebouw
3. Berlin Philharmonic B
4. London Symphony Orchestra
5. Moscow Broadcasting Tchaikovsky Orchestra
6. Vienna Philharmonic
7. cleveland orchestra
8. Mravinsky Theater Orchestra
9. Czech Philharmonic Orchestra
10. Saito Kinen Orchestra
Most of the bands that advanced to first place in each group had a large score gap with second place in their group..
However, the London Philharmonic, the Munich-Bayern Radio Symphony Orchestra, and the Dresden Staatskapelle were considered the best orchestras for over 10 years..
The Budapest Festival Orchestra and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, which emerged from the Repechage Tournament, were equally famous..
Except for a few bands, no one thought that the remaining bands were significantly different from the top 10 bands..
ㄴ It really explodes..
ㄴ Omae…….
ㄴ Why is the Berlin Philharmonic divided into A and L hahaha, and it also has two places in the best 3 haha.
ㄴ That’s right haha. It really seems like I’m cooking everything these days..
ㄴ Honestly, if only one side came out, it would be a loss..
B That’s right. I got ranked because I was good at it. I'm more amazed that the Korean National Symphony Orchestra is there..
B That’s right. It's a really creepy lineup, and there's the National Symphony of Korea over there..
ㄴ There were so many in the first round that I only listened to the famous ones, but from the second round, I will have to listen to all of them..
ㄴ Pianist also announced.
ㄴ ［Link］
Prior to the group draw schedule, the bands that had been kept secret also revealed the pianists who would join in the second round, and fans cheered..
Classical music magazines such as Gramophone, Musica, and Phono Forum made headlines, calling this the biggest and best competition on earth..
