The morning was bright.
Neunghwa felt the sunlight and lifted his eyelids gently.
As you get older, the way you wake up in the morning changes.
It’s not just a tired morning, it’s a day that starts with gratitude, saying that you’ve woken up today.
She stretched lightly and got herself out of bed.
Every day is new.
The problem is that her day is new.
Shinhwa went to the kitchen, put cereal in a bowl, added milk, then went to the living room and sat down on the sofa.
I’m used to playing Me Tube and playing any video and trying to eat cereal.
tyring.
A beep sounds to indicate that a text message has arrived.
Eating a spoonful of cereal, Neunghwa checked the text.
A letter from an old disciple.
-Our Seyeon: Professor, this is the kid I talked about last time, and he played the piano during the graduation ceremony. I’m texting you to take a look.
After reading the text and looking for a moment, I knew who Jeong Se-yeon was talking about.
Last time, when I went to Jeong Se-yeon’s concert, it must have been the girl I heard well at the contest.
Jeong Se-yeon’s ears were also pretty accurate, so Shin-hwa clicked the link with an interesting eye.
“Listen once… You have to judge.”
There is no new music coming out these days, and everyone seems to be staying there, so it was very frustrating for Shinhwa.
Only recently have there been signs of a will to change the classics little by little, but not many people are doing it properly.
From https://noblemtl.com
Most of the people who can move the classical world properly are retired.
They are all tired of the classic world that hasn’t changed and left.
Only those of the classical world that do not change remain and protect, and now a wave of change is emerging among young artists.
But that cannot be easily changed.
because there is no center
“Twitter.”
Professor Shin Kyung-hwa, annoyed once again while thinking about the current classical world, clicked his tongue once and played the video.
The video begins with a young girl in a dress walking towards the piano.
A child who deserves to look back at least once while walking down the street saying, “Oh, it’s so cute.”
Neuralization wasn’t expecting much.
Jeong Se-yeon praised her like that and even sent a link to herself, so I just watched it saying it wouldn’t be bad.
And her thoughts were shattered as soon as the performance started.
Literally shattered.
follow.
A lively piano that starts lightly.
“uh… ?”
Nervous swallowed the cereal and made a small noise.
Without realizing it, she straightened her posture and placed the cereal on the table.
Hold the smartphone with both hands and watch the video continuously.
The child’s hand was not clearly visible due to the angle of the video, but the sound was clearly audible.
I could tell right away what song the child was playing.
Isn’t it one of the OSTs of the movie, ‘Kingdom of the Wind’?
It is Shinhwa who even saw the movie in person because it was made by Jihyuk Han, one of the people who blows a new wind in the classical world.
I recognized the song right away, and I could also see that the child’s performance didn’t perfectly match the original song.
‘Did you arrange it? who?’
it’s level
It wasn’t just that the performance was good.
No, of course it’s good to play.
Because what the kid is playing right now is amazing.
Emotional expression and breathing control are perfect.
He was completely free, and he seemed to have a very high understanding of the song.
It was completely different from the general classical technique, but at the same time, it was a performance with a classical feel.
It felt similar to Jeong Se-yeon’s performance, so Shin Kyung-hwa was a little surprised in that part as well.
I understand why Jeong Se-yeon praised her so much.
Jeong Se-yeon pursues a free piano.
Neunghwa didn’t think that was the perfect answer, but he thought that we shouldn’t just be stuck in a mold.
From that point of view, maybe this kid’s piano… .
‘It could be a piano closer to perfection than Seyeon’s.’
There are still a lot of inexperienced parts.
It’s technically lacking, and the basics are a bit disappointing.
However, considering his young age and considering that he will continue to play the piano in the future, it was a pity that the shortcomings would be resolved someday.
‘And if you overcome that regret.’
Obviously, this kid in the video will be called the genius of the century.
“… Is it possible to express the seasons like this now?”
Shinhwa continued to listen to the song, and muttered after checking the mood and emotions of the song that changed every moment.
It was so surprising.
Expressing the change of the seasons and making good use of them.
It didn’t feel very expressive or overwhelmingly great.
But nonetheless, there is a sense of volume.
The shortcomings in the song are not easily noticeable.
‘Performance is performance, arranging is arranging… That’s great.’
The girl in the video right now is definitely a prodigy and has a talent for the piano.
If you look at the current state of things, even if it is a tendency that the current classical world does not like, if you eventually ride the flow of change… .
‘Maybe, this kid might be at the forefront.’
But who arranged this song.
You will be able to showcase the overwhelming talent of all music, not just classical music.
‘Who are you really? kindergarden teacher? Or your parents… ?’
And Professor Shin, who had put forward various hypotheses, concluded that it was most likely that he played after seeing someone else’s cover video.
If a kindergarten teacher had that kind of talent, he wouldn’t just remain a kindergarten teacher.
However, it is not fair to say that the parents of this piano prodigy have such talents.
Neuralization concluded that way.
After the video was over, she was still for a while, then pressed the play button again.
“that’s interesting.”
It was a performance I wanted to keep listening to.
It’s not a high-density performance, and it’s not a performance with great perfection.
But I still want to hear it.
what is this
It felt like listening to a ‘proper’ performance, not just a formal performance after a long time.
“I want to meet you later.”
Both the performer and the arranger of this song.
Nervous thought.
* * *
Jo Seong-hyeon and Chae-yoon got out of bed only after the morning was almost over.
While eating breakfast, Chae-yoon was chattering.
“Dad, let’s eat.”
“Daddy, is he eating hard? What are you going to do after eating?”
“Eat a quick meal and continue making songs yesterday, uh!”
Chae-yoon speaks in an excited voice.
It seems that it was good to touch the composition program yesterday.
Seong-hyeon smiled and nodded.
From https://noblemtl.com
My head was a little bit complicated.
I was confused as to whether this was because Chaeyoon wanted to do this, or if Jo Sunghyun was doing it because she wanted to.
Anyway, composing was one of the things Cho Sung-hyun did best, and it was also his favorite thing.
‘Well, it’s okay if Chae-yoon likes it.’
The child was satisfied.
To the extent that they tell me to eat quickly and go to work.
maybe that was it
Jo Seong-hyeon thought like that and finished the meal quickly.
After a simple meal, Jo Seong-hyeon and Chae-yoon went to the study and worked hard on the song.
Actually, there wasn’t much more to do.
I had the frame set up yesterday, so now all I had to do was add the details. It was a kind of repetitive task and also the most time-consuming task.
I was a little worried that Chaeyoon would get bored here.
“But Dad.”
“yes?”
“If you do that there, ah. Ahhh. it’s like this then no.”
The child did not know any complex musical terminology, so the explanation was very simple, such as humming a song.
Seong-hyeon Jo is probably the only one who can fully understand the explanation of such a child.
It was because I had to fully understand Chae-yoon to know what the child was explaining.
Now, the child was saying that if the details added by Seong-hyeon Jo, what should come out in the immediately following part would not come out properly.
Of course, Seong-hyeon Cho had a plan for that as well.
“Then here ah ah. And if you put a violin after playing the piano, the piano will not die, but rather stand out and both will come to life with an impact.”
“… impact… ?”
“yes. It sounds better.”
“how?”
Jo Sung-hyun’s explanation, Chae-yoon, did not understand easily.
It was natural.
The child knows about music, but the basic knowledge is still weak.
It’s not easy to recognize what part Jo Sung-hyun is talking about.
And every time that happens, what Seonghyun does.
“Chae-yoon plays the piano. Daddy will play the violin.”
“yes!”
The child nodded and answered, then came down from Jo Sung-hyun’s lap and headed towards the piano in the living room.
Jo Seong-hyeon took the violin and followed the child.
follow. follow.
Jiying.
The piano and violin sound at the same time.
And as soon as the performance was over, Chaeyoon smiled broadly.
“It’s going to be like this. What do you think?”
“Dad is the best. Daddy is a wizard!”
After playing the things that Jo Sung-hyun naturally puts out, Chae-yoon understood and liked him enough to say that he was a wizard.
Jo Sung-hyun had no choice but to put a pleasant face on the child’s words.
When the word “best” comes out of a child’s mouth, as a father, it just melts away.
As each day passed like that, the song that Chaeyoon built the frame and added details with Jo Sunghyun was getting more and more complete.
Weekends pass, Monday and Tuesday.
Jo Sung-hyun and Chae-yun did not go out except for going to the grocery store on Monday, and continued to work on the song.
And it was Wednesday.
When Chae-yoon slowly gets tired.
The song has finally come to an end.
“It’s done.”
The song consisted only of violin and piano.
Of course, the expressive power of the song or that part had to be lowered.
Only 80% of what Jo Sung-hyun wanted was expressed.
This was not a problem with anything else, it was an inevitable problem.
Because there are limits to what Jo Sung-hyun’s violin and Chae-yoon’s piano can do.
The identity of the song was also ambiguous.
It’s a song that’s 3 minutes and 40 seconds long, and it’s not classical or popular music.
But the message inside was clear.
A child is loneliness, and Jo Seong-hyeon is comforting.
contained it
When the song was completed, Chaeyoon smiled broadly.
It was like a letter a child wrote to Jo Sung-hyun.
no more cold
A warm smile formed on the child’s lips.
So, Thursday morning was bright.
It was the day of the Christmas party.
