Beethoven Reborn - Episode 296
Beethoven Reborn Episode 296
65. tango and viola(2)
I said while looking at Ryoko who started crying again..
“Charles has been playing the violin since he was 4 years old. Soso has been playing the erhu since he was 5 years old and is now good at playing most string instruments..”
“Nia Balgray won an international competition when she was 10 years old. Furtwängler had been the concertmaster since he first joined the orchestra..”
“Are you kidding me??”
“Everyone is an outstanding talent?”
“ Of course.”
“Then Mozart?”
“Mozart has been playing the clavier since he was 3 years old. He has been composing music since he was five years old. I don't think I'm any greater than those who came before me?”
At least as far as I know, there is no talent that surpasses Amade..
talent given by heaven.
There was no musician more worthy of being called a genius than Amade..
“I've never seen anyone more talented than Mozart, or even comparable to him..”
Ryoko pointed at me with her finger..
Let's hide what feels good for a while.
“And yet people are still making music. According to what you said, anyone who makes music after Mozart is just an idiot..”
“The comparison object is strange..”
“no. same. Just because there is a difference in talent doesn't mean that you can't make music. in any case.”
Let’s mention some amazing juniors..
“Do you know what Schubert, Wagner, Schumann, and Brahms have in common??”
“……Beethoven.”
“what.”
“okay. Even such outstanding musicians eventually realized the difference in talent. But they didn't give up. And left my name in history.”
“So the case is.”
“ same.”
I know more than anyone else who didn't give up even when they realized the gap was bigger..
7To Choi Ji-hoon of flesh, I would have been an unfathomable being..
But the guy wasn't frustrated. He played the piano every day and always played better than yesterday..
Without even showing it once.
I climbed up the endless wall with only the desire to get better at playing the piano..
But you can't compare the two..
“If you feel inadequate at the Berlin Philharmonic, the students at the Berlin School of Music will feel the difference in talent. Or an undergraduate student remaining in Japan..”
“To those people, it would be amazing to see you as a performer in the Berlin Philharmonic at the age of 17. You think they shouldn't make music?”
“It's not like that. just for each person
There is a place to fit in, right?.”
“It's not determined by differences in talent..”
He looked at Ryoko who looked confused and said.
“Maybe the difference will widen as time goes by. The person next to you may have already overcome two or three walls, but you may be stuck. At first, if you don't get better even if you grit your teeth and try hard, you'll get tired. I will continue to feel this in the future.”
It's painful..
“But you like it.”
Choosing a viola from the start is quite rare..
It's a pity, but there are many cases where violin is majored and then dropped out..
There are very few cases like Ryoko Nakamura who grew up choosing Viola, who was not the main character, from a young age..
It means that I love the viola that much..
This is why I rate Ryoko Nakamura the most..
“There may be differences from others, but you can play better every day. Your skills may not improve for a while. Yes, you passed it someday.”
“That's how I arrived after growing up. The position of violist of the Berlin Philharmonic is based on how much you like the viola..”
Ryoko quietly listened to me..
“And after 5 years, you will gain more love and rise higher..”
“others go further.”
“No one can reach the end. Neither Bach nor Mozart reached the end.”
He looked into Ryoko's eyes and said.
“I too will keep going. Because I love music, I have no choice but to continue. I will continue to improve little by little every day for the rest of my life. Because I can't live without it.”
The guy's eyes are shaking.
“Don’t give up on what you like because it’s difficult or your talents are different. If you lie like that, you'll only get hurt..”
If Ryoko Nakamura didn't love the Berlin Philharmonic, she wouldn't have worked as hard as she did until now..
If I didn't like the viola, I wouldn't have made it from Japan to Germany..
“You like it. Units.”
Ryoko Nakamura wiped away her tears, pursed her lips, and stared into a strange corner of the room..
After waiting for a while, I opened my mouth..
“I want to become friends.”
After a while more.
“I would like to say that I, like everyone else, am a member of the Berlin Philharmonic..”
I said it as if I was confessing.
“I like it. however. however.”
The guy who had only known viola by playing elite courses until now may have been feeling a sense of belonging for the first time..
I may have been appeasing my desire to fit in with the ridiculous idea that I had to be qualified..
Because I was like that once too.
But that happens in an unreasonable class society..
“Everyone already likes it.”
Ryoko is glaring at me..
Looks like I have some energy.
I never thought my first consultation after becoming a permanent conductor would be this difficult..
I guess I'll have to ask Furtwängler for some advice for the future..
Those who visited Salzburg to watch the semifinals of the Berlin Philharmonic and the London Symphony did not return home..
Because I couldn't come all the way to a foreign country and miss the competition between the Amsterdam Royal Concertgebouw and the Berliner Philharmoniker B..
2023Sunday, July 16th at 5pm. Continuing the atmosphere of yesterday, Salzburg heated up the competition between Marie Jans, the most outstanding conductor of the current generation, and the Demon King of Berlin, who has completed the succession to the throne..
“Come quickly!”
“It's not late. Why are you in such a hurry?”
“Hey, I've been waiting for so long since the beginning of this year to see Bae Dobin's performance. She didn't get a ticket to the finals, but where are the semifinals? Plus, it's Marie Jans. That Marie Jans!”
“okay. okay. Envy you.”
“You talk like you didn't wait. Even though I emptied my bank account.”
“Let's go with dignity. uh? What are those clothes? I really think you'll die if you don't come in like that..”
“……I didn't have enough money to buy clothes.”
“……sorry. Let's ask.”
As the start time of the performance approached, the pace towards the concert hall became busier..
It was bound to happen because, as the media claimed, it was truly a meeting of the biggest names representing two generations..
Moreover, Bae Do-bin recently went through the formal process of being appointed as the permanent conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic and even took over the orchestra..
It was no exaggeration to say that Bae Do-bin began his activities with the Berlin Philharmonic in earnest..
The genius of the century, who had only led the B team as a concertmaster, finally succeeded to the throne with the support of Berlin..
Bae Do-bin's fans couldn't help but be happy..
“What should I play today??”
“The main repertoire in Amsterdam is Mozart and Bach. Berlin B is Beethoven and Dvořák. Wouldn't it be one of them??”
“but. Since the opponent is the opponent and the finals are at stake, I will do what I do best. But I think Berlin is already done..”
“I did it with Eroica and Shinsegae. It seemed like the firebird really had a hidden number..”
“Beethoven in C minor?”
“nice. It's nice just to think about it. A fate led by Bae Do-bin. When I think about it, it seems plausible.?”
“right? Because of its popularity, Beethoven is Bae Dobin’s main category..”
Like the conversation between two people who were very excited to visit the venue, people showed interest in the songs the two bands would play today..
In particular, many people predicted that Berliner Philharmoniker B would play Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 (Fate), which gave the impression that they used all the weapons they had..
This was because it was judged that it would be advantageous to select more familiar songs now that fan voting has become an absolute indicator..
In fact, after the third round, all bands participated in the competition by reinterpreting standard numbers or improving their quality..
so.
Reporters and officials who visited the site could not believe it when they saw the pamphlet they received separately..
“what's this.”
“……This is not tango?”
To reporters who specialized in classical music, the Berlin Philharmonic's selection was unexpected rather than refreshing..
‘It is true that ‘With a Head’s Difference’ is a song that has influenced an era, but it was decided that it was not a song worthy of being covered in an orchestra competition, the culmination of classical music..
Moreover, no matter how much I modified and lengthened the 4-5 minute song, it was questionable whether it would be possible to play it for more than 30 minutes, which is the competition requirement..
The situation is so absurd that one doubts Bae Do-bin, who has attempted numerous arrangements and has not had a single failure..
What was even more impressive was the collaborator..
“Aside from Charles Braum, is he the King of Gau? I'm serious about this?”
“Think about it and live. How much space does it take on this floor to say something like that? Bae Do-bin, who just took over the orchestra and was appointed as the permanent conductor, is going to play a prank.?”
“So do you understand this song selection??”
“……How can I understand the minds of geniuses? look. I thought there was going to be a symphony, but Amsterdam is also a blood concert..”
“……It's Christian Zimmerman.?”
That moment.
Reporters quickly took out their laptops and started posting contentless articles..
This was because the battle between the old and new, defined as Marie Jans and Dobin Bae, was formed into a battle between the old and new between Zimmermann and King Gau..
And when King Gau heard this fact at the same time, he burned with motivation..
He burst out of the private waiting room and opened the door to the conductor's waiting room..
“kid.”
“What happen?”
“Take the fat out of the cadenza.”
“Charles just said that too..”
“okay. I know the topic. That lady, I'm the only person on this street..”
“no. If I'm going to win now, I'll play without Gauwang..”
“what?”
“So I kicked them out.”
“Well done.”
“So stop talking nonsense and get out..”
“Hey, wait a minute. Don't kick it. hey.”
From the moment they first met, Bae Do-bin was so impatient that they couldn't get enough of each other, and the fact that these two were acting like kids was giving him a headache..
‘Mozart's Piano Concerto by Zimermann and Marie Jans.’
However, imagining playing in Amsterdam gave me some comfort..
‘It's a great song to celebrate advancing to the finals..’
Bae Do-bin turned his attention to the monitor in anticipation of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 26, nicknamed the Coronation..
The auditorium was completely full..
