All-Round Genius Who Eats Talent

050. domestic premiere.

During the New Year’s holiday, I tried hard to stock up. I ran into a pretty embarrassing situation.

It’s a sudden domestic premiere. Of course, the true meaning of the premiere has already been determined by the performer, but the domestic premiere was also very meaningful.

Besides, is it Lee Jong-woo’s premiere? I saw it at the last recital, but it’s sure to get a lot of attention.

Is that why you play yourself? this is crazy

‘Isn’t this why the piano takes 100% of pictures first?’

I had forgotten about the piano halfway because I hadn’t heard about it. And it felt half visceral. Obviously, if the talent of the piano part is greatly digested here, this will be the last digestion.

Lee Jong-woo entered the door with the doorbell and smiled happily at Song Jae-ik.

“Long time no see.”

“long time no see.”

Lee Jong-woo, whom he had seen for the first time in a few months, looked at Song Jae-ik with grayer hair and deeper eyes.

Clearly different from before, but something firm.

“I feel different.”

“I have a decision.”

“It’s probably not the piano side.”

“If you look at it comprehensively, the piano will be included, right? If it is cultural content, it will definitely include music.”

“Tsk. The pun. Anyway, it’s been a while since I’ve seen your skills. Of course, if you don’t meet my standards, what I said will of course be nothing.”

“That’s natural. You won’t be disappointed.”

Today, the second day after Lee Jong-woo brought up the story of the premiere. I probably wanted to come here as soon as I returned to Korea.

At first glance, I saw the news on the Internet that pianist Lee Jong-woo was returning to Korea.

In the meantime, Jaeik spent most of his time practicing the piano. A little more. A little more. For better piano playing.

At the same time, the more I practiced the piano, the more greedy I became. Of course, he said over the phone that he would like to hit it, but can he believe it right away? If you don’t have the skills, you will naturally be pushed out.

“Even if it’s not a grand piano. What a good guy. It is also well managed.”

“Isn’t piano maintenance the basics of a pianist?”

“Anyway, I don’t lose a word. Like you said, why are there so many kids who can’t do basic things? Tsk. Are you still filming that You Tube video?”

“haha. Absolutely. We are filming this scene right now.”

“Do it or not, do as you please. Only when it passes my standards.”

“Tchaikovsky. Piano Sonata in G major, Op. 37.”

“It’s a good song. It is also a difficult song.”

Song Jae-ik took a deep breath and placed his hands on the keyboard, while Lee Jong-woo closed his eyes and sat back in his chair. It was to fully appreciate Song Jae-ik’s piano.

It was a difficult song that required considerable technical skill and interpretation among Tchaikovsky’s works.

How will Song Jae-ik interpret and show the song he is about to play? It had been a long time since I felt the anticipation rising.

Ding-

The first note starts. Lee Jong-woo smiled deeply.

‘Sure it is. There’s no way that skill will go anywhere. It’s not like I took a break from practice for several months.’

I was also following the instructions to upload a piano video once a week right now. I didn’t think my hands would get rusty.

‘Looks like you put a lot of effort into interpreting the song. Emotions are revealed in the performance. It’s a really crazy performance every time I listen to it.’

Compared to the first time I heard Song Jae-ik play, even if my skills have not improved noticeably. Clearly, the practice of the past did not disappear anywhere.

It just melted into Song Jae-ik’s performance in the name of experience.

When such a long performance with no time to rest is over. He did not ask Lee Jong-woo whether he passed or not.

Everything was revealed in Lee Jong-woo’s expression as he closes his eyes and fully enjoys the afterglow of the music.

“Four days?”

“Because it’s the premiere in Korea for the New Year on January 1st.”

“ah. 4 days.”

4 days. 96 hours. It was never a good time. The meaning of premiere literally meant that you had to do the first interpretation of this song yourself. I had to play the song with my own feelings.

I couldn’t get any help.

“How many minutes is it?”

“The song you are going to play is two minutes. And I have 2 songs. 5 minutes. Even if you rent a venue, you probably won’t even get an audience.”

“Then how?”

“I signed a contract with a broadcasting company. The broadcast time is about 20 minutes including the interview. And even a live stream on You Tube, which you love so much.”

Well, I don’t know if it’s literally a concert, but if it’s the premiere of a piano piece like this, I have to focus entirely on this song. There was no reason to include another song.

“Probably, I think it was a song I composed when I was in my later years. It is not clear whether he composed the song in Ukraine, where he lives, or sent the composed song to him. Anyway, the place of discovery was at my brother’s house. During construction, I dramatically found it stored with a box under the floor.”

Lee Jong-woo passed the sheet music to Song Jae-ik.

“It’s an organized sheet music. The other is a copy of the original found sheet music. To put it simply, it’s song number 2. I’ll do numbers 1 and 3, and that’s also the playing order, so make sure to remember it.”

After those words, Lee Jong-woo stood up holding his coat.

“You and I don’t have enough time, so I’ll just go. When the exact schedule and time are set, I will contact you separately.”

And although it was covered by the coat, it was out of Song Jae-ik’s field of view, but Lee Jong-woo’s hands were trembling as he left the factory.

“Puff. Tchaikovsky. End of year. Composition. Ukraine. song number 2. 4 days later on January 1st. Wednesday.”

Time is running out.

After sending the contents to Um Kang-seok, I headed straight to the library. First of all, shouldn’t you know about Tchaikovsky to play?

and after a few hours.

[World-renowned pianist Lee Jong-woo Tchaikovsky unpublished song premiere in Korea! 3 songs in total!]

[Three unpublished songs by Tchaikovsky for the first time in Korea! Pianist Lee Jong-woo and other pianists participating?]

[Lee Jong-woo gave one of the 3 songs for the first time in Korea to the disciple who felt he could play the piano the best.]

[Who is Lee Jong-woo’s disciple? Shocked to be revealed as YouTuber Song Jae-ik!]

[Lee Jong-woo’s behavior is incomprehensible. A chance to premiere in Korea for a single YouTuber?]

In many ways, the Internet has been turned upside down.

– A domestic premiere for a YouTuber? Isn’t Lee Jong-woo suffering from dementia?

– Crazy. This is a disregard for the classics.

– But since when was Song Jae-ik a disciple of Lee Jong-woo? He didn’t even come out of music school.

– right. crazy sh*t To leave all the other pianists aside and entrust it to a C-rank tantara who barely does bizarre things in front of the TV.

– You must be a little older. The word choice is true.

Someone scolded me and cursed at me.

– OMG. Mitchun?

– No, I knew you were good at playing the piano, but you mean that?

– Isn’t it a masterpiece in the early morning of Evie? Isn’t that enough?

– That’s crazy. If this is the case, you are not just a YouTuber. A world-class YouTuber.

– Hahahahahahahahaha The Internet is upside down now. Why is my brother here? Who would have predicted that?

– Didn’t you get a broadcast schedule like this? I’m curious. How well do you play it?

– Put in neutral gear. Lee Jong-woo pianist is truly world-class. There must be a reason why someone like that chose Song Jae-ik.

Because someone was just looking at it as an object of eye candy and fun.

Of course, in the midst of that, Song Jae-ik was busy digging into Tchaikovsky’s life.

Tchaikovsky’s last years were not so comfortable. To be precise, I didn’t live such a comfortable life from the middle of the year.

After exchanging more than 1,200 letters for about 15 years and receiving a unilateral declaration of separation from Mrs. von Meck, a sponsor whom he thought was true friendship, he suffered from extreme pain and depression.

In addition, because of the fact that he was gay, he did not even think about marriage or dating, but there was absolutely no way he could be happy with a forced marriage that he had no choice but to have.

In those words, it was literally bankruptcy, but it was a hellish life where you couldn’t even get a divorce at your own will.

Because of that, even the musical atmosphere changed from that time onwards.

Therefore, the atmosphere of the unreleased songs composed during this period can never be bright.

Even a string sextet composed in Florence, Italy, after leaving the sanctuary in the castle of refuge. Unlike the title, ‘Memories of Florence’ was also a very passionate and depressing song.

♪♫~

However, I did not feel such despairing feelings of Tchaikovsky in the score that I played without any emotion.

‘In what way did Tchaikovsky compose this song?’

bang-

“hey! what’s this!”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden? My vacation isn’t over, so why are you here?”

“Why! Can’t you come and see the text? Has the internet turned upside down? Of course you have to come and check it out. And why can’t I see the text? Why aren’t you answering the phone?”

“ah. I forgot to put it on silent to focus.”

bang-!

“Writer! The internet is crazy! Is this for real?”

“No, why suddenly with a time difference?”

Go Ye-rim made eye contact with Um Kang-seok, who had not yet taken off his coat, and made a puzzled expression. It means that he came later than Um Kang-seok, who came from the province.

“Are you saying the conclusion is true?”

“Then are there any fakes? You know the relationship with teacher Lee Jong-woo well, right?”

“Even so, it’s so out of the blue.”

“It’s not like that. I’m just as random. Hasn’t it been a few days since you heard those words from the teacher?”

“anyway. What are you going to do? Are you going to do what you always do?”

Um Kang-seok shrugged his shoulders as if he wasn’t worried. When collaborating with Evie and when making animations.

Because Song Jae-ik has always, always proved it.

“Of course. As always.”

“As you always do?”

“yes. As always. No matter what anyone says, I do my job. And show off your skills. so that it cannot be refuted.”

“That’s a good thing. I’m sure if you’re the writer, you’ll be able to flatten the noses of people who are spouting malicious comments on the internet.”

It was a word that left no doubt.

—

“Are you really okay, sir? Think again now.”

The premiere of Tchaikovsky’s unreleased songs is right around the corner.

From the moment the article was published until now, Lee Jong-woo was being bullied, not bullied by the people around him.

For the same reasons as the ones on the Internet.

“If you’re going to say something like that, go away. I’m fine, what would you be okay with?”

“No, sir…don’t do this.”

“What are you doing to the pianist who is about to perform? I don’t have enough time to practice! Don’t you guys even have basic manners?!”

Joo Young-woo’s bell echoed in the practice room.

“Senior, senpai, try to stop it. Doesn’t it make sense to do Tchaikovsky ’s premiere on something like You Tube?”

“What is it about? Does that mean you can’t trust the teacher’s eyes?”

“No, senior Joo, how can you say that?”

“Then is it simply because you’re a YouTuber?”

“No, not that either. Why are you pushing people to one side like that?”

“Then, just like the teacher said, get out of here!”

Since he was Joo Young-woo, who has a good reputation and has been around for a long time, the other pianists left the practice room, hesitant at his angry expression.

“Why do you persuade me like everyone else?”

“Could that be? Teacher, I came here because I was wondering if your practice is going well.”

At those words, Lee Jong-woo’s eyes lit up. It was the only pianist who had come to see him for a different purpose.

“I’ve seen Song Jae-ik’s piano skills before.”

“Hoo? How was it?”

“It was something I had to learn. Of course, I also learned a lot.”

Thinking back to that time still gave me goosebumps. If it’s a classic, if it’s a classic song, go.

Literally, the genre itself, the piano itself, was well versed in, and the skill was beyond words.

“Yeah, you’re the only one who seems to have his eyes properly fixed.”

“Don’t worry about the other kids. Isn’t it the first performance of Tchaikovsky in Korea?”

Joo Young-woo glanced at Lee Jong-woo’s shivering hand.

“And… are you really going to make a presentation?”

“How beautiful is the back of a person who clearly knows when to go and goes.”

“It’s poet Lee Hyung-gi’s fall painting.”

“right. Just my current situation. Rather, I’m more worried about me than him. Will my hand be able to hold it?”

“You can do it. Isn’t that why you set the order to 1 and 3?”

“Did you notice? That’s true, but number 2 is also the song that suits him the most.”

“Yes. I’m probably the only one who noticed.”

It has been like that since the end of the world tour. Suddenly, the hand did not move as intended.

The doctors said something, but they all refused. I had already lived enough to live, and even if I could take medicine, I didn’t want to go through surgery.

“I’ll see you that day.”

“I have to practice, so you should go out too. Take care of the kids outside and send them back.”

“All right.”

It is the final path of the master he admires.

Joo Young-woo bowed his head deeply and left the practice room.

Thus, the day of Tchaikovsky’s domestic premiere dawned.
