Beethoven Reborn Episode 268
58. Dvorak(7)
evening in a little while.
Bae Do-bin returned home after practice and found Franz Peter crouching in a corner of his room..
‘Why are you stuck there??’
It wasn't a large room by Bae Do-bin's standards, but it wasn't narrow at all..
Director Mulpin of the Berlin Philharmonic Secretariat treated their conductors and concertmasters as much as possible within realistic limits..
Naturally, we were assigned a top-class room in the accommodation where the Berlin Philharmonic B is currently staying..
Franz Peter had no choice but to sit in a corner of the room..
“ ah.”
When Bae Do-bin entered the room, Franz Peter suddenly turned his head..
He approached Bae Do-bin, but couldn't bear to get close to him and just laughed awkwardly around him..
“Have you been there??”
“what were you doing there?”
“I was looking at sheet music.”
“……from morning?”
“yes!”
Dobin Bae looked at the spot where Franz was..
Sheet music was piled up in two places and there was one sheet of sheet music, and it looked like it had been organized every time I looked at it..
However, Bae Do-bin only saw a piece of paper in front of him..
It was a keyboard.
It was tattered from how much I pressed it..
‘I played as much as I wanted.’
“What is that?”
“ah. I use it when practicing. lol." Franz Peter shyly took it and carefully placed it in his bag..
“There's a piano.”
“that… … If you get any stains on your hands.”
“That's okay.”
Bae Do-bin kept Franz Peter and his younger brother in his room until they found a place to stay, but he found it difficult to leave him alone..
So, I brought him something to play with, but Franz Peter didn't know how to use a computer or game console, let alone audio or TV, and when I told him he could play the piano, he was very surprised and shook his head..
Instead, I asked if I could look at Bae Do-bin's score..
Since it happened in the morning and I had been looking at sheet music all day, Bae Do-bin was a little embarrassed..
It was also amazing.
Most of the people who worked with him were hard workers, but it was rare for someone like Franz Peter to delve into music like this from a young age..
Bae Do-bin laughed while thinking of Choi Ji-hoon..
Even though they look completely different, I thought they were very similar in that they were immersed and focused on music..
However, I heard the story roughly, but I wonder if the kind of life he has led makes him cautious and unable to play the piano to his heart's content..
“okay. There was something fun?”
“yes I'm still looking at it, but I think this score here is really great. I, I want to play this song.”
“ ah.”
Bae Do-bin looked at the piano sonata he was making to give to Choi Ji-hoon and nodded..
2While working on the Round Piano Concerto together, it was confirmed that something was being established within Choi Ji-hoon, so even while the orchestra competition was in progress, the brothers were creating music that would maximize the brothers' strengths..
“This can't be done.”
“Well, of course! How dare I listen to Dobin’s song?.”
“I told you not to talk like that.”
“yes. sorry, sorry.”
Franz Peter quickly shrank again..
Dobin Bae felt heartbroken every time Franz Peter did that. Because I knew why he had no choice but to do that..
I thought it was all because of his environment that he learned to be grateful for small things and that it became natural for him to bow his head to others..
Franz Peter, whose parents died at an early age, was not accepted even by his relatives, and had to protect himself and his younger siblings from an early age..
Franz Peter naturally walked around with his head down as he lived a life that went beyond being simply poor and without even hope..
It was too much of a burden for that young boy to bear, and Ludwig, who had been the de facto head of the Beethoven family from the time he came of age, understood Franz Peter's position better than anyone else..
“Franz.”
“Ugh. yes.”
“It doesn't matter how you lived until now. From now on, neither you nor your brother will get sick or starve..”
Bae Do-bin lowered his posture and spoke at eye level with Franz Peter..
Franz Peter averted his gaze and looked at the floor. Bae Do-bin caught his face and made eye contact again..
And continued speaking.
“It's all in your hands, Franz Peter.”
“I am such a great person.”
“It has to be.”
Franz Peter, who could not turn his head and only moved his eyes to avoid Bae Do-bin's intense gaze, immediately flinched..
“look at me.”
The boy's eyes moved very slowly..
“It's easy to keep your head down in a situation like yours. Because you just have to fool yourself. But that won't change the circumstances one bit for you and your brother..”
Bae Do-bin spoke about the memory of gritting his teeth..
“If someone disrespects your brother, you must be able to fight back, and if you are hungry, you must be able to buy bread. no one helps you.”
Franz Peter said nothing, lowered his head and cried..
“No need to bow your head. You have protected your little brother so well, and there is no one more important to him than you. Don't be servile. Be proud. Even if you don't have a coin in your pocket, you still have the power in your heart to surprise the world someday.”
I had to become stronger.
I had to earn money to protect my mother and younger brother..
For Ludwig, music was the only way to prove his existence, so he could not do anything else..
So I had to make money through music..
Ludwig could not be weak, thinking that if he were to collapse, he might lose his precious mother and younger siblings..
Ludwig, who pushed himself like that, had the belief that if he endured the painful days, the day would come when he would smile..
That belief was so true that it soon left traces in his music..
That life of struggle led him to be recognized as an eccentric person and a strange person, but it was also the driving force that enabled him to become the greatest musician in history..
Because I had that experience.
Bae Do-bin couldn't leave the kind and tender boy alone..
The sheet music he was making to give to his brother caught his eye..
“That song was written for my brother. It's not that you can't play, it's that no one else can..”
“ ah.”
“I'll make it sometime if you need it. But I think you're the one who makes your own music.”
Bae Do-bin released Franz Peter.
“Open your chest.”
Franz Peter spread his hunched shoulders and pushed out his chest..
“Wipe away your tears.”
I inhaled my nose and wiped my tears, and Bae Do-bin looked at me..
There was no sympathy whatsoever..
There was no reason to do so because I was sure that one day we would be together in a great place..
“My younger brother will come soon. You have to let your little brother eat and play without being noticed..”
Franz Peter nodded vigorously..
“good.”
Bae Do-bin turned Franz Peter around and slapped his butt..
“Are you going to look at your brother with that face? Go in quickly, wash your face and come out.”
At those words, Franz Peter hurried into the bathroom and couldn't stop even though he was washing his face with water in the sink..
I couldn't wipe away the tears that kept coming out..
After a while.
Shou Himura took Franz Peter's younger brother, Albert Peter, to visit Bae Dobin..
“Brother!”
Bae Do-bin looked happily at the young brothers embracing each other and then greeted Himura..
“I know you must be busy, but thank you so much..”
“Have you ever been like this once or twice? I've also booked accommodations. There were so many tourists that it was difficult to find a vacant place..”
“Thank you for your hard work. I will definitely pay this back..”
Himura rubbed Bae Dobin's back without saying another word..
“Let's go right away. Franz, I'm ready.?”
“yes!”
Franz nodded, carrying an old bag and holding his younger brother Albert Peter's hand tightly..
“Brother, where are we going??”
“We're going to the house we're going to live in.”
“house? We became rich?”
“no. That person over there is Bae Do-bin, and he provided a place for us to sleep..”
“really? Now we can sleep together?"
Franz Peter is thirsty.
Even though I cried so much, I couldn't believe that I could be with my younger brother, and my emotions continued to overwhelm me..
But I remembered what Bae Do-bin said..
‘I'm everything to Al.’
So I couldn't cry.
“then! Let’s say thank you later.”
“huh!”
On the way, Brother Peter chattered about the view of Salzburg outside the window..
“brother! What is that?”
“I don't know. Very cool.”
“huh. It's so cool.”
“Al, look at that..”
“where, where?”
“Oh my.”
“Wow. It's my first time seeing something like that!”
Arriving at the accommodation.
When Brother Peter entered the ordinary room with two beds and a bathtub, he was so happy that he could not calm down..
“brother! It's a bed! It's fluffy!”
“Al, I have to wash up and go up.!”
“Hyung, please do this quickly too.!”
“……It's so soft?”
When the two brothers, who had not yet eaten dinner, came out to wash up, room service arrived, and when Brother Peter saw it, it felt like he was dreaming..
Albert now looked a little worried..
“Brother… … What's going on?”
“why?”
“It's not like you're just throwing me away.?”
“What are you talking about! how can i abandon you!”
“But… … Everyone said she was so nice to me when we parted ways. Brother, I’m fine with my bed and bread, so don’t abandon me. Don't throw it away.”
Franz Peter.
Only then did he realize why Bae Do-bin was so harsh on him..
As my younger brother's image overlapped with my own, my heart ached so much..
Franz Peter held Albert's hand tightly..
“no. My brother, my bed, and my bread will always be together..”
“Ugh. Sigh. really?”
My younger brother asks while sniffing. Franz Peter treated me with a rather sturdy face..
“huh. promise.”
3On the day of the second round of competition.
“wow! What are you doing here??”
“This is where the orchestra competition is held. Al, you must be quiet when listening to the performance.?”
“quietly?”
“huh. Because it causes harm to other people who listen to the music..”
“huh. I'm nice. It's bad to harm.”
Brother Peter sat down smiling..
Soon, a competition was held between the Santa Cecilia Conservatory Orchestra and the Cleveland Orchestra..
The Santa Cecilia Conservatory Orchestra performed Schumann's Symphony No. 1 in B flat major..
The Santa Cecilia Orchestra captivated the audience right from the start with powerful melodies that seemed to steal one's soul..
It was an invaluable experience for young Franz Peter..
The boy sitting in the audience was excited, his eyes sparkling like starlight..
‘This is Schumann.’
His tightly clenched fists didn't seem to be able to open, and Franz Peter pricked up his ears in case he missed even a single note..
sometimes grandly.
The melody, which sometimes playfully jumps around, was a very enjoyable experience..
Franz Peter felt as if yesterday's dream continued today..
And finally, I was able to have hope that it would be possible in the future..
