Beethoven Reborn Episode 251
56. season(2)
Bae Do-bin's voice repeated in the ears of everyone in the lobby, as if an echo remained..
It was quiet.
‘What is it for??’
Raymond Donech had no easy answer..
The act of going on stage was to perform. It was intended to give listeners various types of emotions such as joy, sadness, despair, and joy..
“It's noisy.”
At that time, a deep, low voice rang heavily in the lobby..
The tyrant Wilhelm Furtwängler and the Berlin Philharmonic stood on one side..
Everyone's eyes were on him..
Furtwängler looked at Raymond Donech, then turned his head and looked at Bae Dobin..
I walked out slowly.
“Good work.”
He led Bae Do-bin, passed Raymond Donech, and soon stopped. He didn't look back, he just looked forward.
“It increased.”
Everyone in the lobby could see to whom his words were directed..
As Furtwängler walked away again, Raymond Donnec stopped his old mentor with clenched fists..
“……Do you also think my playing is wrong??”
Furtwängler did not reply..
“Is it so wrong to be faithful to the score and try to preserve tradition? Do you believe that today’s Berlin is really the Berlin Philharmonic??”
“Lemon!”
Kerba Stein stepped forward, but Furtwängler stopped him..
“Chef••••••
Furtwängler looked at Raymond Donech with displeasure. The emotion came out in his voice..
“The spirit of the Berlin Philharmonic lies in its fans. If fans cannot understand and be moved, there is no meaning as an orchestra at all. No matter how great your performance is.”
Furtwängler started walking again, and reporters became excited and split up in London and Berlin..
“Maestro! Was the feud between Raymond Donech and the Berlin Philharmonic true??”
“Movement leader Bae Do-bin! Please explain your comment that the London Philharmonic's performance is a lullaby.!”
“Maestro! Is it because the Berlin Philharmonic is being pursued in a different direction??”
“You attacked first, but why didn't you say anything??”
Raymond Donech was standing blankly in the middle of a truly chaotic lobby..
I was consumed by old memories and couldn't move..
“Whenever I listen to your Beethoven, I think it's amazing. This concert was absolutely perfect.”
“I'm always great. Don’t just state the obvious, get it sorted out..”
“haha. All right. Then I will keep this sheet music safe..”
“why?”
“I'll have to use it again next time. I will learn it over time and practice it so that the members can play better..”
“Just put it in the secretariat records room. Because everything will go differently next time. Umm… … Bappa bap bap would be nice..”
“yes? It's so perfect?”
“Tsk tsk. You've already played for a week and it's coming out on an album, so why play again? Next time we have to go differently so people will enjoy it too..”
“But this good score
“Well, maybe there will be time to write it again someday. But Raymond, not tomorrow. Even if you take out the sheet music, you will never play it the same way..”
“Isn't it a waste? I'm sure there are people who miss this sheet music..”
“at all. No matter how good a song is, repeating it over and over again just gets boring..”
“Now that I think about it, this part is still a bit easy. It didn't work out as intended.”
“It's not like that. It's really a perfect structure..”
“There is no perfect music. When Beethoven created this part, did he want people to be surprised or realize its structural perfection??”
“ that••••••
“You have a good ear, you have a lot of imagination, and you express yourself well, but that's the problem. Remember it well.”
“ yes.”
“The secret to conducting well is allowing the audience to feel it even if they don't know the theory. It's just engraved in my heart. There is no need for the listener to think too complicatedly. You just have to enjoy it the way you feel..”
“I do not know.”
“Say it again. It's easy to solve difficult things as they are. A great musician finds the composer's intention in the score and makes it easy for the audience to hear it. Naturally, following your soul. Great sound if you just play the score
It means there can't be evil people..”1)
1)Wilhelm Furtwängler (1886)954)：
Art is undemocratic, but it is directed toward humans. The point is that only the simplest way is possible to express a big meaning. Complicated things are left on the fireside. Great music is in the heart.
Die Kunst ist eine undemokratisch e Sache. And doch wendet sie sich ans Volk. Das Geheimnis ist, dass das Einfachste nur der Grö ß te auss prechen kann-und das Komplizierte auf der Straße liegt. Die Größe lie in der Seele.
The debate between Bae Dobin, Furtwängler, Toscanini, and Raymond Donech was broadcast in real time and spread around the world..
As the two bands became an issue last year as they emerged as rivals, the impact was bound to be big..
Public opinion was once again divided between Berlin and London and the debate continued, and the media was busy not wanting to miss a good opportunity..
Accordingly, classical music fans asserted or forced their opinions on each other through the Internet..
ㄴ Bae Do-bin’s words are refreshing. If you're going to play something boring, why on earth are you performing??
ㄴ I searched several articles, but in the end, London means delving deeply into the score and pursuing perfection within it, while Berlin means making music easier by focusing on the era and the composer's intention..
There's definitely something about Berlin music that moves the heart..
ㄴ I don’t think it’s a bad thing to delve deeply into the score..
I also think the same way.
B But I don’t like it because I feel like I’m studying when I listen to the London Philharmonic. It's easy to feel the Berlin Philharmonic.
ㄴ If it’s limited to sheet music, then. To be honest, the composer's intentions are bound to not be clearly revealed at this point. Because I heard a lot of provocative things.
ㄴ Just because it’s a period performance doesn’t mean you can’t understand it. It's because I'm not cultured. If you don't know, learn.
ㄴ I just want to listen comfortably.
ㄴ Ultimately, that is what the Berlin Philharmonic pursues. It's just an intuitive and effective arrangement so that you can listen to it comfortably, and I think this is right..
ㄴ They say they focused on the score, but I’m not sure. I just find the Berlin music more moving, but am I the only one who doesn’t understand it??
B ㅇㅇ. You're the only one who doesn't understand.
ㄴ Honestly, the more people who know music, the more they know how great the London Philharmonic is. Don't you think it's easy to play while making the most of the information in the score??
ㄴ So it’s the same every time. If that's the case, why pay a lot of money and spend time to guess? Listen to the album at home.
ㄴ That's because you're an idiot. Is listening at the venue the same as listening to it on an album??
ㄴ Listening to it in person and listening to it through an audio device are bound to be different. But the essence is what kind of music you make. Why do we need so many orchestras if they just remain stagnant without change??
ㄴ Everything is proven by grades without any need. Since the Berlin Philharmonic was rebuilt, the number of visitors to the digital concert hall has increased rapidly. There is no comparison with the London Philharmonic..
ㄴ Finding only such provocative things is also a problem.
Why are they also called drugs??
ㄴ If you look through music history, all great musicians pursued change. Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin all. A new era has come because of those people. Although they are now considered classics, the songs we listen to today were innovative at the time..
ㄴ I mean, why are you transforming it?.
ㄴ It’s great as is.
ㄴ How is it a transformation to play differently at each concert in accordance with the times? Does that change the original song??
ㄴ Same. What's the fun if every orchestra plays every concert the same way??
ㄴ It definitely has timeless value. However, we must also preserve the songs left behind by past musicians. But the deeper you study, the more your thoughts change. If you go beyond what is left in sheet music and understand what the great masters of the past thought, you will naturally focus on that and follow their spirit rather than their records..
ㄴ It may sound like a lot of money, but it’s all subjective..
b You said it. So is there a right answer in art? People who make music reveal their colors through their subjective opinions, otherwise why do they make music??
B That is correct..
There were some people who agreed with the other side's position during the debate..
However, the Berlin Philharmonic and the London Philharmonic could not abandon the values they each pursued..
Since they had been running for more than 10 hours every day for decades with that as their belief, all they could do was get on stage..
The words of Wilhelm Furtwängler, Marie Jans, Ryoichi Sakamoto, Djerba Rubinstein, Bruno Walter, Arturo Toscanini and Dobin Bae, who are said to be great names in history, were meaningless..
Judging what is right is.
Only the times and people could do it.
and finally.
The time has come to end this long debate..
“You've waited a long time. For today's final turn, we welcome pianist Glenn Gold and the Berliner Philharmoniker A. The piece played is Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5..”
After the host's introduction, members of the Berlin Philharmonic took the stage..
After completing the final inspection, all members solemnly closed their eyes without moving an inch..
“It's bloody?”
“Because that happened.”
While the audience was overwhelmed by the presence of the Berlin Philharmonic, Wilhelm Furtwängler appeared with pianist Glenn Gold..
The sound of welcoming the two greats filled the concert hall, and Furtwängler bowed to the audience and then turned around..
The applause stopped.
The tyrant exchanged glances with his knights one by one from the right..
The look of trust given by the best virtuoso of the current generation allowed the members to forget other thoughts and fill themselves with pride, allowing them to think only about playing..
Furtwängler's eyes fell on Kerba Stein and then on his old friend Glenn Gold..
Glenn Gold nodded and Furtwängler stretched out his fists vigorously..
Beethoven's last piano concerto.
Announced the beginning of the Kaiser (Emperor).
The Berlin Philharmonic set off fireworks, and Glenn Gold's piano flapped its wings..
A little louder this time.
As the Berlin Philharmonic fired bigger shells, the piano's flapping became more spectacular..
louder again.
Many mountain birds soared into the sky filled with beautiful fireworks..
The festival has begun.
