My Daughter is a Music Genius

100

After watching the movie, Jo Seong-hyeon put away a meal.

“Soundbite.”

He got up with a light noise and was tidying up the dishes, but Chae-yoon looked at Jo Sung-hyun and woke up with the same sound.

“Twitch!”

The child cried out and held out the bowl to Jo Seong-hyeon.

Jo Sung-hyun smiled and took the bowl that Chae-yoon was offering and headed to the sink.

“Chae Yoon-ah.”

“yes?”

“Dad, are you listening to music while washing the dishes? We have to decide what song we’re going to play next.”

“I like Chae-yoon.”

The child nodded in response.

Jo Sung-hyun took out his smartphone from his pocket and played the video he had found beforehand.

Cho Sung-hyun had studied the songs that Chae-yoon would do in the second round of this final, and now it was the child’s turn to decide which song to listen to.

Chae-yoon sits quietly on the sofa and watches the video.

Jo Seong-hyeon stroked the child’s hair once and headed to the kitchen.

Some old rubber gloves.

It was a bit too tight for Seong-hyeon Cho to write.

It probably fits the hand of the person who used it before.

“You have to let it go now.”

Jo Sung-hyun muttered a little.

There is such a thing.

Things that I can’t throw away even though it’s nothing, because I still have regrets.

That’s what these rubber gloves did.

It’s not a big deal, but something that leaves a lingering regret.

I don’t know how Jo Seong-hyeon, who was born in the past, felt that he had not thrown away these rubber gloves yet.

At least, the reason why Cho Sung-hyeon of this life did not use it until now and did not throw it away was simply that, without knowing it, there was a lingering regret.

“… … .”

I suddenly remembered Chaeyoon from a few days ago.

The child missed her mother.

A relationship I want to see but can’t see.

But there will still be items in the house that have left the marks of their mother.

Is it okay to show them or not?

Jo Seong-hyeon continued washing dishes while trying to organize complicated thoughts.

little by little little by little.

The cleanup was done quickly.

Finally, he shook off his gloves lightly to remove the moisture and turned around.

Chae-yoon was still sitting on the sofa, concentrating on the final song of the contest.

He cautiously approaches and sits next to the child, and only then does Chae-yoon turn his head to Seong-hyeon, and then gently turn the screen toward Seong-hyeon so that he can see the video too.

The song that was nominated in the second round of this final was Bach Invention.

The Bach Invention, divided into 15 pieces, was an indispensable piece in the history of the piano.

Not only that, it could be said that it is essential for those who are learning to compose.

Through Invention, Bach made a song that could be the basis for not only many performance techniques but also composition techniques.

Among those 15 Inventions, which song will Chaeyun choose?

watch a video together.

When the video was over, Chae-yoon got up with Seong-hyun’s smartphone and walked over to the piano.

The child played the video again and placed it in front of the piano.

Then he puts his hand on the keyboard and starts playing the piano as the video starts playing.

It seemed like he was going to make a decision after seeing it for himself.

Jo Seong-hyeon looked at Chae-yoon’s back and leaned back on the sofa.

‘by the way… .’

As I was looking at the child, I suddenly remembered something I had forgotten.

A child’s own song.

What should be the song that Chaeyoon composed after seeing the parrots?

Jo Sung-hyun thought that he couldn’t just leave it as it is.

How can you just leave such a song alone?

Whether to reveal it to the world or not, Cho Sung-hyun wanted to complete the first song Chae-yoon made.

Wouldn’t it be possible for Jo Seong-hyun to touch the song in a line that doesn’t harm the emotional line and the main melody?

more complete.

Wouldn’t Jo Sung-hyun be able to create something by adding flesh to Chae-yoon’s song, which has only a skeleton?

He thought so.

Of course, you should ask the child and see what Chaeyoon means.

Jo Sung-hyun’s personal desire was that he wanted to complete Chae-yoon’s song somehow, rather than leaving it alone.

‘If you complete the song, how do you want to complete it?’

It takes a lot of effort to make one piece of music.

It requires a lot of thought, and when composing a song, Jo Sung-hyun usually decided on the direction of the song.

How would you like to make a song?

What kind of emotion line and what kind of story would be best?

What other meanings should the song contain?

Compressing many things to have a single direction.

Make a song based on it.

In the present case, there was no need to worry about that because Chaeyoon’s song contained emotions and stories.

All that’s left is the meaning contained in the song.

After listening to Chae Yoon-i’s song, Jo Sung-hyun understood the emotional lines and story of this song well.

Of course.

It is a story that Chae-yoon experienced, but it is also a story that Jo Sung-hyun experienced.

‘But, I don’t know exactly what Chaeyoon means in this song.’

I understand it vaguely, and there is also a clear meaning to this song that Jo Sung-hyun has.

But before that.

Jo Seong-hyeon needed to find out what meaning his daughter put on this song.

If you really want to complete the song.

After listening to the child’s thoughts and opinions, and figuring out exactly what Chaeyoon meant to this song, I had to touch the song.

Only then can the song be completed.

It was a time when I was thinking about things like that.

“Dad… ?”

Chae-yoon, who was in front of the piano, came right in front of Jo Sung-hyun and was looking at him.

Jo Seong-hyeon suddenly came to his senses and looked at the child.

“Yes, Chae Yoon-ah. What’s up?”

“This is Chaeyoon!”

The child said that and held out Cho Sung-hyun’s smartphone.

Jo Sung-hyun checked the song floating on the screen.

Bach Invention, No. 8.

The child seemed to like the song.

Jo Sung-hyung smiled slightly.

Now was not the time to think about how to complete the song the child composed.

‘First… .’

Let’s prepare and think about the contest right in front of us.

Jo Sung-hyun thought to himself and got up from his seat.

“Then, shall we practice hard on this?”

“yes!”

Chaeyoung smiled and replied.

* * *

The kid practiced really hard.

Jo Sung-hyun had to be a little worried about Chae-yoon’s more ambitious appearance than last time.

In fact, last time, even when I was practicing for the first round of the finals, I worked harder than I thought, so Jo Seong-hyun was a little worried.

Even in kindergarten and after coming home, Chaeyoon really only practiced the piano.

The child went to school in kindergarten and concentrated on playing the piano for at least three or four hours a day.

Literally playing the piano after leaving the house and going to bed.

From https://readwn.com

Min Eun-jung said that she continues to play the piano even in kindergarten, so I thought it might be too much.

I was more ambitious now.

‘I’m a little worried… .’

This is often the case.

In the beginning, the will puts all of his energy ahead, but he doesn’t find any fun in the process and eventually gets tired of it.

From https://readwn.com

Maybe this is why I hate the piano?

However, in the end, Jo Sung-hyun did not say anything to the child.

It was all he could do to take care of Chae-yoon so that he could concentrate on the piano.

“hello.”

“Oh yes, hello.”

As I got on the elevator, there was a member of the singer team 2, so Jo Sung-hyun greeted me first.

Is it because there are two of them, or is it that Jo Sung-hyun is a little used to it now?

The team members of Singer Team 2 nodded their heads to greet Jo Sung-hyun.

“Are you busy with Seo Ye-na’s album?”

“Yes, there is… There are others.”

The staff responds with a strange expression to Jo Sung-hyun’s words.

After fiddling with the bag she was holding for a moment, she opened her mouth.

“This time, Yena Seo’s album.”

“yes.”

“You can’t ruin it. It’s an important timing for both us and Seo Ye-na.”

staff say

Cho Sung-hyun knew it too.

This album shouldn’t be ruined.

In a way, it’s an album that could be one of the biggest turning points in Seo Ye-na’s life.

If this album goes down, it will have an impact on Seo Ye-na’s subsequent albums as well.

Cho Sung-hyun didn’t want that.

“I don’t know what this album will be like for Jo Seong-hyun, but we are office workers.”

At the staff’s words, Jo Sung-hyun looked at her quietly.

So I don’t know what you want to say.

Seo Ye-na’s album is important, and she is an office worker.

so?

“Working on this album. I think it would be better to just quickly pass on the parts that you think you can’t do, and focus on the parts you can do.”

Jo Sung-hyun realized what she wanted to say.

Know your abilities and do it right.

If you think you can’t, give up immediately.

There is still anxiety about Jo Sung-hyun directing the album.

“All right. Let’s try.”

Seong-hyeon Cho simply replied that way.

If you keep getting anxious, I think it could be.

In fact, it makes sense.

Even if a pro comes, I’d be nervous, but a newbie came and touched the song.

Even for Jo Sung-hyun right now, there is a little bit of anxiety that this song might not go well.

Even if the probability of success is overwhelmingly high, anyway, the probability of failure is not at all.

Yes, you can definitely be anxious.

Seo Ye-na and Woo Kyung-soo are also worried.

They aren’t sure either.

However, they did not openly oppose Jo Sung-hyeon or set a date.

Rather, if possible, I try to work with Jo Sung-hyun to see the same direction and push forward.

‘But this is… .’

There were not two singers.

Seeing a different direction from Seong-hyeon Jo, I do it because team leader Woo Kyung-soo has to do it. some position.

For Jo Seong-hyeon, the day is still standing and he is openly expressing his anxiety.

Anyway, we’re working on the same album.

Team leader Woo Kyung-soo, Seo Ye-na, and, at least nominally, the producer, decided on the concept and the song, and was moving forward.

Then, no matter what happens, shouldn’t we just push it out together?

I understand being anxious, and I understand that your hands and feet may not fit together.

It never made me angry or annoyed by this.

In the first place, I don’t pay much attention to it, and I’m not a kid.

But nevertheless… .

‘It’s not very pleasant.’

Again, a little, but obviously annoying.

Jo Sung-hyun entered the office, bowed slightly to greet the staff, and immediately went to see Team Leader Woo Kyung-soo.

I guess I need to give this album a little more strength.
