God of Piano

“・・・・・Quickly get out of here.”

Rowoon waved his hand. Julie stopped and disappeared. Looking at Julie like that, Rowoon sighed, then took out the Walkman’s earphones and put them in his ears. And that was the moment.

[ ······You are really good at carrying women around? ]

Liszt spoke. But Rowoon wasn’t surprised. It was something I was used to by now. One of the changes that happened to him after taking pitch level 7.

That is, he was able to talk with musicians who had unlocked the private tutoring function… at all times.

[ Rowoon. Listen. After all, to be a great pianist, you have to be a great person, and to be a great person, you have to be a person who doesn’t get pushed around in each and every one of these trivial human relationships. ]

“······Sir, I’m sorry, but wouldn’t it be better to say that I was pushed back than to say that I was pushed?”

[Hmm, so you don’t like him? ]

“It’s not like that.”

[Heh heh… This guy is trying to show off his teeth in front of a crocodile. How many girls have I met, but I can’t read your mind? ]

“I think we should meet more.”

[ Huh! ]

Rowoon sighed as he heard the far-sighted youngster complaining that he did not know how to respect his senior. It was definitely a good thing that private tutoring became available at all times. But… why do I sometimes think that the old days were better?

[Yeah, so doing ‘The Musicians’ or something means you have the confidence to win, right? ]

“······How do you think it is in the eyes of our seniors?”

[If only the idiots come out, we can win. ]

It wasn’t Liszt’s voice that answered Rowoon’s question. A thin voice with a mocking nuance. said Chopin with a chuckle of laughter.

[Yes, Franz (list’s name). You’re right. It’s a deplorable thing. I’m already impatient because I can’t show myself with only that level of skill, so if it were me, I’d just hide in my room and just practice. ]

[ Ah, Fred (nickname for Chopin). That person is also very harsh. Why are you killing this young friend again? Work hard, even if you cheer me on, I’ll put my hat on. ]

[You are always so withdrawn. Until when ‘you can do it’ So be strong.’ Should I say the same thing? How many people have said that to us when we sit down at the piano? After all, the pianist has to stand alone. you know? ]

[No matter what… ]

“Oh, Chopin. I was wrong. I won’t ask you that. So there is no need for the two of you to argue.”

In the end, Rowoon had no choice but to get in between the two. Liszt and Chopin had been friends for a long time, but that did not mean that their tendencies always coincided. In the first place, after Liszt secretly brought a woman to Chopin’s apartment and slept with him, it was an established theory that the relationship between the two became somewhat awkward. It was an unknown story whether they would have reconciled in a place similar to that ‘afterlife’.

‘Are the two of them in heaven now?’

Seeing that people like Hanong often tell us to go to church, it seems that nothing happened after their death that would affect their faith… But when we ask about such things, they all keep their mouths shut and don’t answer anything. didn’t do it It’s not a story that can be told to the living.

[Anyway, Fred, isn’t there any justification for you to say something about what Rowoon said in my room? You may not like to offer consolation or support, but I don’t. All young musicians need someone to back them up. Just like you and I couldn’t live without sponsors. ]

[ ······That’s it. let’s go ]

So Chopin left Liszt’s ‘room’. If you say a room, you might want to say something, but to explain it, it’s just a feeling of being able to enter another musician’s ‘room’ depending on where you tune the Walkman’s ‘radio frequency’.

And in the room I visited, not only the musician, but also people close to the musician often participated in the conversation. Of course, all of them were limited to musicians who unlocked Rowoon’s ‘private tutoring’ feature.

[That friend, even if you come all the way here, except for the crooked personality… Anyway, don’t be too hurt by that friend’s story. rowoon. As you know, he is a friend whose tongue grows thorns when he says something pleasant to hear. ]

“I know. You don’t have to worry too much about it. Thank you as always, sir.”

[Aside from always saying thank you, I was very offended by what you said about my dating insights earlier. ]

“······This is this and that is that. I really have nothing against him.”

[Huh, I’ll see when you change your words. ]

There were a lot of useless words, but in any case, Liszt was one of the closest people to Rachmaninoff and Rowoon. Rowoon spoke quietly.

“First of all, the teachers have heard it all themselves, so you know, but these days, my transcendent skills have become cleaner in many ways. But it’s true that somewhere… that feeling of overpowering people is still lacking.”

[Transcendent technique is not just about hitting a lot of notes in an instant. Cutting is basic, and the question is whether you put your consciousness into each key that passes through your fingers and realized the exact level of stress and length you want. From pedaling to keystrokes, if you don’t raise your senses to the limit… No, even if you do, it’s hard to show the true value of the performance. ]

The whole time Liszt explained the transcendent technique, he felt full of pride somewhere. It was worth it. Liszt’s name, the song Transcendental Skills, has become the name itself that symbolizes skill on the piano.

A young pianist who fell in love with Paganini, a violinist bestowed by God, and wanted to transfer his performance to the piano, finally achieved his dream. And now I was watching my performance being loved for hundreds of years. It was only natural that he let out a happy voice without regret.

[ But yes. You asked if you could win? I don’t know what the level of this tournament will be… but if you want to be able to win not only this tournament, but any tournament of any level in the future… you, too, must have your own weapon. ]

“Is it my own weapon?”

[I have transcendent skills, and Chopin, that friend had rubato. ]

“And I was blessed to share the talents of all the teachers.”

[But no matter how sharp a spear and sword are given, it means nothing if you don’t know how to handle them. ]

“You mean to focus on digesting the blessing?”

[ no. ]

Liszt said firmly.

[ As soon as he hears your performance, the listener is shocked and forced to remember you for the rest of his life. ]

“…”

It was difficult to say, but it was somehow understandable. Right now, Rowoon’s performance was enough to raise a thumbs up when anyone, regardless of gender or age, listened to it. But if it’s a performance that will remain with them for the rest of their lives, well, Rowoon wasn’t that overconfident.

“Being on TV will be a risky choice as much as the gains are great.”

Those were Rami’s words. Since she was a prodigy who carried the future of Korea from a young age and often appeared on TV, there was no choice but to have quite a bit of weight in those words.

“If you cringe just a little, people will point fingers at you and say you were a bubble too.”

“And if you’re still at the student level, like us, even having your skills in place is something to talk about. they will talk like that that’s your limit The media has planted high expectations of you.”

“So make your decision. are you ready Do you have weak legs enough to collapse in front of the tongue of the public, or did you prepare your skills and mind enough to overcome them all?”

In many ways, it was Irami-like, direct and clean advice. Rowoon looked at her face. Even though she was one-year-old, no, ten-day-old sister, honestly, Rowoon had no objection to calling her older sister. she was like a sister The elder, the dignity of a senior who had walked a path he hadn’t walked beforehand, was clearly imbued with her.

“How is your sister?”

“I have neither the skills nor the mindset. Your legs are also weak.”

“······ But didn’t your sister also decide to go on the air this time?”

“But there is poison. A miasma that will crawl even if its legs are broken.”

So Rowoon laughed unconsciously as he saw Rami pretending to bite him by the nape of his neck. She was a woman who always seemed serious, but subtly made the people around her laugh.

It must have been the reason why he said such a thing.

“I want to see you for a long time.”

“… What is that, are you confessing?”

“Huh, no. I think if I just stay by my senior’s side, I’ll continue to live under a good influence. I don’t know if I’m a good influence or not.”

“don’t worry. You’re not the kind of person who has a bad influence on you either.”

“is it so?”

“Hey, think about it.”

Rami laughed and said.

“When you open your mouth, all you talk about is music, but wouldn’t it be me who gets stimulated when I see you like that?”

“Did I only talk about music?”

“We rarely talk about traveling, eating, or playing. I can’t say I don’t do it at all, but it’s true that more than 90% is about music, right? well, but it’s not bad As a human being, it may be a bit disappointing, but that’s why it’s more like a musician. More like an artist.”

“You’re suddenly giving me too much air.”

“Isn’t it going to float? There are times when I get tired of that. Get excited.”

“Ah… that’s right.”

Rowoon giggled and nodded. Rami smiled as she looked at Rowoon.

“But why do you always come to our club room? With little activity.”

“…to hear a story like this?”

“Oh, do you think just hearing my story gives you strength?”

“I’m not saying it’s completely wrong, but it’s a bit embarrassing to just nod your head gently, right?”

“If I go on a broadcast, they won’t follow me, right? Then it’s a bit spooky, kid.”

“Even seniors aren’t normal…”

“Now do you understand?”

The shadow on her collarbone deepened with each giggling Rami gave. Thinking that he had such a thin body, Rowoon changed the topic.

“But the concept of this broadcast was a bit strange. Eight universities, four departments, four team members.”

From noble mtl dot com

“Because if it is an individual competition, the feeling of a competition between universities will inevitably weaken.”

“Honestly, I’m not worried about the piano…”

division is four. piano, violin, cello, and vocal music. On the piano side, Rowoon, Heather, and Jungwoo were scheduled to participate right away. And Eric, the fourth grader participating, also doesn’t get along well with Jungwoo in many ways… but he was a person who recognized one skill.

‘Was your performance on the Raccoon stage better than mine this time?’

I didn’t remember very well. To be honest, it wasn’t a problem I paid much attention to.

“The violin is not far behind.”

Rami shrugged.

“You and Heather have been fighting each other lately, so you know that the piano department has become more energetic, but the violin department at our school has always been a strong player. know?”

“I know. All the violinists who tuned in for the concerto were amazing.”

And Irami was an undisputed ace even among such strong players. He was one of the most famous student violinists in California.

“Then it is safe to assume that our school won the violin and piano, right?”

“… there’s no way you can’t win, right?”

Rami looked at Rowoon and smiled. Rowoon giggled and immediately got up. Rami looked up at Rowoon and asked.

“Are you going to practice again?”
