Beethoven Reborn Episode 030
9. 6Sal, first full-length album(1)
Morning, two weeks after attending 'Beethoven', a music academy for gifted students.
It's the day to learn the violin.
I quickly ate breakfast and was heading to the academy with the intention of learning new modern playing techniques, when Himura spoke to me..
“How is the academy??”
“I don't learn much, but it's fun..”
“haha! I see I didn't bring the recorder I was practicing with today.?”
“yes. They say they will teach you how to play the violin starting today..”
“It's a violin... … . Surely there might be nothing to learn.”
As the violin was used a lot in the first regular album 'Dobean Bae: Suite for Piano and Violin'.
Himura, who heard a lot of my playing, said that there might be nothing to learn..
But you also don't know.
Learning modern music has been one of my greatest joys, so I didn't give up on it..
While we were talking like that, we arrived in front of the academy..
“Then Dobin, I'll come pick you up at 3 o'clock..”
“3city?”
“huh. Today is the album release date. The Asahi Newspaper is coming for an interview..”
“Rin Ishihara is coming.?”
“huh. Dobin volunteered saying he wanted to see it. Yes. She also has a reporter who wants to interview her. I'm jealous?”
“That older sister is strange though. all right. Thank you.”
I exchanged greetings with Himura and got out of the car, when a sonorous voice called me..
“Dobin!”
Choi Ji-hoon also looks like he just got out of the car, and the car looks really good..
He definitely looks like the son of a rich family..
A person who appeared to be a butler exchanged greetings with Choi Ji-hoon and then returned..
“That's your violin?”
"huh."
“I’m excited about your violin..”
“Look forward. You brought it too?”
“huh. I'm good at playing the violin.”
I didn't know what to say so I stayed still, but Choi Ji-hoon sighed deeply..
“Actually, it's a lie. I practiced a lot since two weeks ago. That's why my fingers all hurt.”
“When I first did it, it was like that..”
We entered the academy talking about various things..
kids are kids.
It's been a few days since I've seen it, but when the instructor isn't around, everyone is busy talking and having fun..
I borrowed one of the phone from the girl sitting next to me and was watching a video of Eugene Kim playing, but it seemed like she kept glancing at me..
When I turn my head and make eye contact and ask, the girl's face turns bright red and she averts my gaze here and there..
‘He's a strange kid.’
I was trying to focus on the video again without worrying about it, but just then the academy instructor Lee Jin-jin came into the classroom with someone..
“Everyone, focus〜”
“Concentration〜”
After looking around at the children who had found their seats, Lee Yi-jin looked satisfied and introduced the man standing next to him..
“I am the teacher who will teach you the violin for two weeks from today. Everyone, say hello to Professor Seungho Lee, who is attending the College of Music at Korea University.〜”
“hello!”
“hello!”
I heard that Korean University is the best university in Korea, and it looks like you are an undergraduate student there..
It is an opportunity to find out what level of modern undergraduate students are, and a golden opportunity to absorb newspaper material..
“Hi guys. nice to meet you. The teacher is Seungho Lee, who is majoring in violin. I'm going to study the violin with you starting today, but is there anyone who can play the violin??”
“Me!”
Not Choi Ji-hoon, but someone else raised his hand..
He was a very fussy guy, but he got excited at the thought of showing off his special skills in front of the kids..
“good. Let's tell it to our friends later..”
The little guy nods his head vigorously..
“Do you have any other friends??”
“I learned a little bit.”
Jihoon Choi raised his hand..
“how much did you learn?”
“One week.”
It seems like it's quite difficult to pretend to be a genius..
Like the piano, it seems his father told him to shorten the period of time he learned it..
‘I had that experience too..’
‘'That person' was like that too, so it's not understandable that there are bad parents who try to gain fame and wealth through their children..
“I definitely wouldn't have learned much in a week. If you can play, could you come forward for a moment??”
“yes.”
Despite the sudden request, Choi Ji-hoon didn't care and went forward..
The hand holding the violin seemed to be shaking, but when I stood in front of the children, it suddenly stopped..
“Don't feel pressured, I'd like to show you for a moment.?”
“yes.”
Choi Ji-hoon took a moment to catch his breath and placed the violin on his shoulder..
Then he made a note or two and nodded..
And started playing.
It was a song I heard somewhere..
What is conveyed in a lyrical yet nostalgic melody is... … It was clearly similar to a folk song from a certain country..
It's not a difficult song, but it's amazing that you can play it that well in just two weeks..
Definitely not a genius.
I think we should recognize Choi Ji-hoon for that effort..
♪♫♬
Clap clap clap clap clap!
“Jihoon is cool!”
“I love Jihoon so much!”
When Choi Ji-hoon put down the violin from his shoulder, the children clapped their hands in joy..
I also applauded my young friend who worked hard for today..
“Hey, is that really what you learned in a week? It's amazing?”
“Jihoon is a genius!”
“He's a genius!”
“I play the piano very well too.!”
“haha. okay? good job. Now, this is a gift from the teacher. Jihoon will do really well if he practices a little more..”
Violin instructor Lee Seung-hoon brushed Choi Ji-hoon's hair and put candy in his hand..
“Now then, the friend who raised his hand earlier.”
“yes!”
“Should I come forward??”
“yes!”
The trickster also went forward, placed the violin on his shoulder, moved his chin to the side a couple of times, and glanced at Seunghoon Lee..
Seunghoon Lee smiled and nodded, closed his eyes, and started playing..
A performance worth listening to if you take your age into consideration..
I felt like Choi Ji-hoon was better, and I thought his courage to step forward with confidence was incredible..
However, the children at the academy applauded Geekyi, who played a more difficult song than Choi Ji-hoon..
“Well done. It might have been a little difficult, but it looks like you practiced a lot? here.”
The kid who got the candy was fussing and went back to his seat..
“teacher! He also has a violin!”
The eight-year-old fat boy arrogantly pointed a point at me and shouted..
“okay? My friend's name is?”
I looked at Seunghoon Lee and opened my mouth..
“Bae Dobin.”
“good. Can Dobin also play for her friends??”
Normally I would have received money, but I decided to use my kindness..
13 of the kids here won't make a living doing music later on..
I only had one friend who would become a musician in the future, so it was for him..
As I walked forward holding the violin, I was worried about what song to play..
Because I couldn’t think of a violin solo piece that I wanted to play right now..
Then I turned around, and my eyes caught the cell phone of the child sitting next to me on the desk..
I remembered Eugene Kim's performance that I heard just now..
‘Should I give it a try?.’
The electric violin is very different from the violin, so I have to improvise the arrangement, but improvisation is my specialty..
It's not that difficult..
I took out the violin and placed it on my shoulder, and Seunghoon Lee asked:.
“What song will Dobin play??”
“I don't know the title.”
“haha. okay.”
“Look at him. Even though you don't know how to play, you bring a violin and do that. It makes sense not to know the title?”
Smile.
My performance now is not for snobs like you, but for my friends who are steadily walking towards the future..
the shock I received.
Will Choi Ji-hoon be able to receive the joy he felt while listening to modern music?.
Began to string..
♪♫♬
This alluring melody, whose title I don't know and whose soul it is, was enough to shock me..
Fast yet cheerful.
Yet clear sound placement.
Performer Eugene Kim's playing skills were also excellent..
I comfort his soul who was able to come up with this idea. I pray.
Feeling the strong perfume left by an unknown genius.
I continued playing.
Then, after playing the part I heard, I stopped..
When I opened my eyes and looked at Choi Ji-hoon, a surprised expression came into view..
From the wide-eyed and open-mouthed face on his face, I could tell that the emotions I wanted to convey to him had arrived in their hearts..
“Did you say Do-bin? Why did you stop in the middle??”
“I haven't heard anything after this yet.”
“……I can't hear it?”
“yes. I listened to it today, but the teacher came in so I couldn’t finish listening to it..”
Lee Yi-jin, Lee Seung-hoon, and the children at the academy became silent again..
I am satisfied because Choi Ji-hoon was surprised as I had hoped, but it seems like they were too..
“Nonsense.”
“oh my god……
“Me, really? I'm sure I heard it today?”
“Oh, it's a lie! He lies a lot.!”
There were belated reactions coming from all over the place, and the fat guy shouted..
Lee Seung-hoon and Lee I-jin looked at me again to ask for an answer, but while I was silent because I didn't feel it was worth answering, the child sitting next to me quietly raised his hand..
“I… … It's real. Dobin likes Eugene Kim's music and plays it to her every day on her cell phone, but this was her first time playing Contra..”
“The song I heard for the first time... … It's not even the same instrument?”
Seunghoon Lee grabbed both of my shoulders and shook me..
“Dobin, the other thing. Can you play something else??”
“Let go of this hand first. sick.”
“iced coffee. sorry. sorry.”
“What should I do??”
“anything. As long as it's a song Dobin knows, it's all okay..”
“hmm. Then, if you play one more song, I'll teach you the violin.?”
“what?”
“He said he would teach me the violin..”
Seunghoon Lee seemed embarrassed, as if there was something wrong with what I said..
Let’s slightly move our head to the side to look at Lee I-jin, who is invisible because Seung-hoon Lee is blocking our view..
Lee Yi-jin nodded on behalf of Lee Seung-hoon..
“I think the teacher wants to hear Dobin play so well that he wants to hear it one more time. Of course she will teach you. So will you play?”
“yes.”
I took the violin out from its case, placed it on my shoulder, and got lost in thought..
There were so many songs in Eugene Kim's performance that the kid sitting next to me played..
Among them, this is probably the song that shook me the most emotionally..
Began to string..
At first, lightly as if touching.
Then, the continuous horizontal sound arrangement unfolds as if watching a movie..
The emotion conveyed in the process was clearly hope..
“Viva La Vida……
When he finished playing, Seunghoon Lee quietly recited the name of the song. Then he turned his head and spoke in his original voice..
“Teacher Lee Jin.”
“yes yes?”
“Why is this kid here??”
