I was practicing the piano in a poor private practice room when someone knocked on the door..
I turned my head and saw Choi Ji-hoon come inside..
“Do you want to drink tea? I like the scent.”
I didn't refuse because I had been practicing for quite some time..
“What a car?”
Jihoon Choi pointed outside..
Behind the glass wall, the old butler was setting teacups and teaware on the table..
He really is the son of a very rich family..
“no orange juice?”
“I really like it. I thought that would be the case, so I asked him to prepare. Let's take a break.”
Interestingly enough, it contains a lot of sugar.
I was happy to hear that orange juice was prepared and headed outside..
There were also cookies that were less sweet but had a good crunchy texture, so it was a pleasure to eat..
I said hello to you for preparing such a wonderful tea time..
“thank you I'll eat well.”
“Eat a lot.”
“Eat together.”
“it's okay. then.”
The butler smiled kindly and headed out of the club room..
Where and what do I do every time I wait?.
I also felt a little sad when I thought of him, who I thought was older than me, following Choi Ji-hoon around..
“Ah, it's delicious.”
“right?”
For now, I'm grateful that they prepared it for me, so I'm eating it, but Choi Ji-hoon, who was always chattering, is quiet..
I looked around to bring up a topic, but Hong Seung-il was nowhere to be seen..
“Now that I think about it, I can't see my grandfather..”
“grandfather? Ah, teacher.”
nodded.
“You said earlier that something came up and you were going somewhere..”
Let's take a sip of juice and look at the clock. It's 6pm. It looks like he was stuck in the practice room for five hours..
“Why weren't you going? There is no tutoring?”
“huh. I have to drink this and go home. I also want to practice more.”
“Take your time.”
“But you work harder. I need to try harder……
Contrary to his soft tone, the guy seemed quite upset. It seems somewhat impatient..
“What's going on?”
“uh? Oh, no. There is no such thing. … … It's okay?”
“what?”
“You decided to have a performance competition with King Gau. Everyone was really looking forward to it..”
“what. so so.”
“I'm angry?”
Was it noticeable?.
I thought I wouldn't reveal it, but
If Jihoon notices it, everyone around me probably knows and is pretending not to notice..
‘bouncer.’
Like Choi Ji-hoon said, I was angry..
From head to toe.
It is inevitable that differences in opinions will arise in the process of not working together..
The problem was his attitude..
Even while talking to me, you always tolerated my sarcastic ridicule..
I couldn't stand it when the media started talking nonsense about my music..
Himura said he would take legal action, but that won't relieve my anger..
I felt like I had to crush that nose so I couldn't even make a sound to feel relieved..
To that end, I thought he should choose the sport he was most confident in..
Only then will we be able to destroy that unfounded confidence..
“Umm. Dobin, I understand your feelings, but
I don't think it's a very good choice. There are plenty of other ways too..”
Of course there was a lot of opposition at first..
Parents and Saetbyul Entertainment were against it, but Hong Seung-il strongly supported it..
When Furtwängler and Ryoichi Sakamoto responded that it would be fun, Mother, Father, and Himura eventually had no choice but to accept..
-cancer! Well thought out! If you are a musician, you should speak confidently with your skills rather than just talking! Even if I take the time, I will notarize it.!
-Maestro! Where are you going again??
While talking on the phone with Furtwängler, Camilla's voice was heard on the other end of the phone..
-Are you telling me to just leave this fun thing behind? Huh. Yes, Dobin. Just tell me the time and place.
-No! You'll be busy at the end of the year, so why speak so irresponsibly?
It is?
I wondered if the two were still the same and started missing Berlin all over again..
-LOL. Sounds fun. How about trying something like a festival?.
“It's a festival?”
-That would be more effective. If possible, invite the audience as well. It would be very meaningful if you donate that money. Don’t you think so??
As expected, Sakamoto. good idea.
“that's right. So, I hope Sakamoto joins us as well. notarize
I think I need someone to do it for me..”
-Oh oh. How can you fall into such fun things? Just tell me the time and place. Oh, Blehatz would be interested too..
“I will send you an invitation together..”
-I'll be waiting.
Little by little, the plan became concrete, and Himura stimulated King Gau by publishing articles in various media outlets, including Gramophone reporter Hans Lennon..
“It's pretty authentic considering it's dried up.?”
“Since I decided to do it, I have to do it right. It was your idea to make money with this concert.?”
“It's not charity work. Ah, but will there be money to donate??”
“well. The topicality isn't enough, it's just too much... … I think it'll be okay. I just need to adjust the price a bit..”
Himura, who was hesitant at first, completely agreed with this and got on with the work with excitement..
In addition, King Gau seemed to have reached a situation where he could not refuse, as even his maternal grandfather sponsored this match..
“Even King Gau cannot ignore the wishes of Chinese fans..”
Anyway, in China,
Himura added that since King Gau's victory seems certain, he will not be able to refuse this match..
In the end, King Gau accepted the match, and I decided the date and King Gau decided the location..
It was decided to equally select three notaries, each of whom could be called judges..
In my case, Wilhelm Furtwängler, the Berliner Philharmoniker's chief conductor, Ryoichi Sakamoto, a Grammy winner, and Michael Blehatz, winner of the 2005 Chopin International Piano Competition, were present..
King Gau's side decided on Lothar Klose, editor-in-chief of Gramophone, piano virtuoso Leonskaya, and conductor Tianjian of the China National Symphony..
So on December 29th, I was able to give my arrogant junior a real education in Beijing..
“You're angry, right??”
“any.”
“……King Gau is really famous
You're a pianist. I can win?”
Jihoon Choi asked worriedly what was so cautious about..
“of course.”
“It's all natural?”
“Then I think I'll lose?”
“But the other person is an adult. Plus, it won a lot of awards..”
“That doesn't show the person's skills. Only performance can prove it.”
Jihoon Choi laughed at my words..
“that's right. Playing is the most important.”
“From what you hear, it sounds like he plays better than me.?”
“Umm……
Now that I think about it, I think Choi Ji-hoon said to Lee Seung-hee when he first met her, 'The musician I respect is King Gau.'.
A competition between a respected pianist and a friend..
You can't help but worry about which side you should support, but if you want to become a great pianist in the future, you need to have an accurate ear..
“If that's confusing, you're still far away.
Practice more. listen to more good performances.”
“Hing.”
The match between the two most popular musicians in the world has become a hot topic not only in the quiet classical music world but also among the general public..
A 29-year-old pianist who will soon reach the rank of a virtuoso, and a 7-year-old genius who is evaluated as the best composer of the 21st century by various media, experts, and the public..
Moreover, I couldn't help but be excited as it naturally led to a battle of pride between Korea and China..
There were even bets placed on the outcome of this match, showing just how intense the public's interest was..
Piano 1:1 Match.
There was no way the media would have missed this opportunity, which only existed in pre-modern times..
“Get the interviews right away!”
“Both Bae Do-bin and King Gau are refusing to be interviewed..”
“What are you doing with your head down? Just ask famous people! Who do you think will win?!”
“I think Gauwang is superior when it comes to playing. He has proven his overwhelming skills in several competitions..”
“Although I had only heard Bae Do-bin's piano performance through a CD, it was very impressive. So much so that one wonders why he worked as a violinist..
But compared to Gauwang, I don't know which one is better..”
“I think King Gau, who was provoked by a young genius, might feel burdened..”
Each media outlet asked everyone who was famous in the classical music industry about the 'Bae Dobin VS Gauwang Piano Contest'..
Most people acknowledged Bae Do-bin's musical skills, but the assessment was that it was limited to composing music..
There were many opinions that it would be a disadvantage to play with King Gau, one of the world's leading pianists..
It's not like I'm being criticized for no reason.?
L That can't be possible. Our Dobin is the best in the world..
LDon’t just look at it that way. There seem to be many people who don't know much about Gauwang, but among piano listeners, he is considered top-tier in terms of skill. Overwhelming for people of similar age.
LThat's why I got the Grammy Award?
Lbtttak. Did you win the Grammy Award for composition or piano playing??
I hope Dobin L wins TTTT
Even people who were not in the music industry could not help but become a little anxious about the words of industry officials and Internet experts..
As they say, it is because Bae Do-bin showed too little as a pianist..
Meanwhile, the atmosphere reached its peak as Ryoichi Sakamoto and Michael Blehatz, who are praised as the best pianists of our time, opened their mouths..
“I have known Dobbin since he was five years old. From then on
He used to play the piano with me, and I never once thought he played better than him..”
“Dobbin, whom I met for the first time in the United States, played Beethoven's sonata. It was a better performance than any Beethoven I've ever heard..”
ㄴ LOL then that’s right. !
ㄴ I said let’s join because I was confident haha.
ㄴ Ryoichi Sakamoto and Blehatz are both close to Dobin Bae. It could just be an unplay.
ㄴ Frustrating, don’t you know that famous people watch their mouths when something like this happens? If you take someone's side for no reason and your relationship with the other party worsens and your predictions are wrong, you are already damaged, so why would you do that? I'm not saying that because we're close, but because Bae Dobin is really good at playing..
Oh, that sounds really fun..
ㄴ A poster is also coming out haha.
[ link］
ㄴ If either side loses, it’s a real disaster.
ㄴ Wow, the poster is awesome. Dobin is so cute..
ㄴ The photo came out great..
Meanwhile, in China, King Gau was living leisurely..
I overslept every day and woke up only in the late afternoon..
“It's okay?”
“then. I don't trust my skills?”
Manny asked worriedly, seeing King Gau who did nothing to prepare even after the date for the contest was set..
However, King Gau’s position remained the same..
“Anyway, we decided to follow the rule of taking turns playing one song at a time and then repeating the same song. Can't I play better than him? Or are you afraid that your repertoire is lacking? don't worry. I'm going to show that cocky little boy what a real pianist is..”
