And, it played.
I will not dwell on his playing at length. However, it should be revealed that Rowoon asked Chopin this question that day.
“Why the hell did you want to burn that song? It was such a beautiful song.” do.
That day, the university that took first place in Chopin’s Waltz was the California Conservatory of Music.
How was Rowoon’s Mozart? do i need to say What everyone present had already realized.
His Turkish march was special… and unique.
＜ Take the Base (6) ＞ End
＜ Two pianists (1) ＞
But even so, if you ask if the California Conservatory ranked first overall that day, it wasn’t again. Eric’s grades were also in the middle ranks, but it wasn’t the only thing.
Heather’s grades were also not very good.
Actually, it wasn’t unexpected. Heather said she had never really played Ravel’s water play before. And the other students seemed to have had experience playing with water before.
It is a competition that has already fallen behind from the start line. No matter how talented Heather was, it wasn’t enough to make the gap zero.
Heather’s playing wasn’t bad. However, compared to the performances of other students who seemed to have been polished for a long time, her performance had no choice but to shine less.
So she lost
So she was depressed.
“······I said it. Labels are not a good choice.”
When we went back to the inn, Eric grunted. Heather just glanced at Eric for a moment and didn’t say anything. But Eric didn’t stop.
“What were you thinking? Did you really think that you could do anything you wanted to because everyone praised you as a genius?”
“Oh, noisy. I know. I know.”
“Stop it, Eric. It’s not like we’ve fallen, so what are you complaining about?”
Jungwoo stopped Eric. Eric looked back at them with a look of wanting to say something, but then he clenched his fists and lowered his head. He looked down at the floor for a while, then sighed and got up.
“I’ll go out and get some fresh air.”
“…”
No one caught Eric. In fact, it was because he already knew that the target Eric was angry with was not Heather, but himself.
Heather had never played water games before. But what about Eric? Bach was one of the musicians he was quite confident in, and his fugues had already been mastered a long time ago.
5th though.
“It must be frustrating. Eric too.”
Heather muttered. She stretched out on the bed and groaned in pain.
“But the annoying thing is the same here. Although a week is short, I thought I could manage it somehow…”
“It wasn’t bad.”
“You know very well that I wouldn’t have practiced hoping for that level of evaluation.”
That was right. Rowoon stopped trying to comfort him any more. No matter how many nice words she poured out, this reality that Heather couldn’t show a good stage in the end would not change. And unless that reality changes, Heather’s frustration will never be resolved.
Heather raised her hand and ran it through my fingers.
“Are you destined to live tied to Chopin for the rest of your life?”
“Don’t leap for nothing. It was just because I played a song I didn’t normally play.”
“Isn’t that what you’re talking about? You even won first place with the first song you played.”
“What am I… I’ve gotten better at super vision.”
Rowoon scratched his head with an embarrassed expression. To be honest, I didn’t think he would even be able to win first place. There were also times when the level of other students was not accurately measured.
Heather shook her head and changed the topic. He didn’t seem to want to talk about this anymore.
“Anyway, the full sale guys must be very heartbroken.”
“You never thought they’d be the first hitters going home.”
“How’s your grade on the violin…”
The violin section was scheduled to continue the competition this evening. And cello and vocal music tomorrow. In other words, the competition in all categories was held over two days a week. If the number were further reduced, breathing might be faster than now, but…
“Well, now is not the time to worry about that. We don’t have to solve the homework given to us right away.”
“······ Well, it’s a sorry story to Rami, but it’s true.”
To be honest, Rami wasn’t too worried. Right away, as they ranked second overall, they thought that even those with Rami would at least avoid finishing last.
The problem was them. After the presentation of the piano section, the judges immediately informed what their mission would be.
“‘Piano Briquette’ and ‘Piano Duet’.”
A piano briquette is two people playing on one piano. A piano duet could be seen as two pianos played simultaneously by two pianists.
No matter how much you majored in piano, these were songs that you wouldn’t have to play loudly unless you took the course separately. Heather sighed.
“Let me tell you one thing, I don’t do it with Eric.”
“… you must be.”
It was also strange that they set up thorns for each other like that just a moment ago and then tuned in to each other. Rowoon looked back at Jungwoo. Jungwoo shrugged and said.
“Honestly, I don’t mind doing it with Eric… I don’t know what Eric is like?”
“Is that Rami noona?”
Everyone knows that Eric likes Rami and is jealous of Jungwoo, who always hangs out with her. No, if I had to pick someone I didn’t know, it would be Rami himself. Although I honestly felt that I knew but pretended not to know, rather than not knowing.
“I don’t know why people keep tying me up with Rami.”
“You two always stick together, right?”
“If that’s the case, so are you and Heather.”
“Oh, brother. Are you going to do this now?”
Heather crossed her arms as if bewildered and lit her twin wicks. Jungwoo raised his hands as if he was unfair.
“No, just like you are unfair, I am also unfair.”
“・・・・・Hmm, let me see something. Anyway, I think it would be better for you to just do it with me. Because it seems like Rowoon is the only person Eric won’t get into trouble with.”
“How did Eric end up like this?”
Jungwoo let out a sigh. Rowoon looked back at the door Eric had left.
“For now, I will do that. I’ll wait and find Eric and talk to him.”
He said so, but in the end Rowoon didn’t find Eric until evening. I don’t know where he was, but it was around the evening of a violin competition when he reappeared.
“Eric. What if I come now?”
“Look at this.”
Instead of answering, Eric held out a wad of paper. Rowoon, who accepted it without thinking, was startled. They were all briquettes and duet sheet music.
“Were you looking for this?”
“It should be as fast as possible. So next time you won’t play like an idiot. Anyway, take a look everyone. I’ve selected all of them because I thought they would be suitable for the contest.”
“······Ah Okay.”
Rowoon nodded his head, unable to hide his embarrassment. In many ways, thinking that today’s work must have been quite stressful for Eric.
“But first of all, it’s too late, so we have to go to the concert hall quickly. Soon it will be time for the violin contest…”
“……Has it already happened?”
Eric sighed and nodded. And immediately, without regret, I turned my back and hurried my steps. Because I didn’t expect him to act so aggressively, it was the same that Jungwoo and Heather, who were watching him, were looking a little bewildered.
“I think you must have been very angry.”
“That, I will…”
It was when I headed to the concert hall with such a panicked feeling. As Rowoon and others sat down, several pianists pretended to know.
“Hey Rowoon. I saw a good performance earlier. You didn’t go to the California Conservatory for nothing, did you?”
“Mozart is here.”
“But what kind of bastard is playing the Turkish March so darkly?”
Although the nuances were different, it was clear that I was impressed by his playing anyway.
And it was the same for Jungwoo. Because his Chopin was overwhelming no matter who heard it. His sense of depth, as if dragging one down into Chopin’s swamp, was something no player his age could easily express.
However, the pride of the California Conservatory was not their only one.
‘Rami sister.’
Rowoon looked at the stage. The song Rami will play today is Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, one of which is Summer. It was originally a concerto song, but this time all the participants were asked to sing it as a solo.
summer. In many ways, it was a color that suited Lamy. Her glaring passion that seemed to burn anything that came close reminded me of summer in many ways.
From noble mtl dot com
‘You’ll be surprised once more.’
Just because Rami is good at it doesn’t mean it’s Rowoon’s credit, but Rowoon was already showing a proud expression for no reason. I was looking forward to seeing what people’s expressions would look like after hearing Rami’s performance.
Today, people in the violin section are playing Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. And this time, unlike the piano, it was a format where a school started playing one by one from spring to winter.
The first to come out this time was Juilliard. After watching the piano earlier, they seemed to have been stimulated in many ways. When asked if they would be the first to come forward, they raised their hands without hesitation.
And Juilliard-like, noble, neat, and authentic performances were presented.
“amazing.”
“It’s really Juilliard.”
“…is it too Juilliard-like?”
Gossips like that came from everywhere. As a music university that represents Dongbu, they well embraced Dongbu’s unique restrained sensibility. In many ways, it was in contrast to the California Conservatory of Music in the west.
That may have been the case. As the Juilliard performance ended and the judges searched for the next applicant, Rami confidently raised her hand. And following her, other California Conservatory violinists naturally raised their hands.
“We will do it.”
And then, the performance started.
