My Daughter is a Music Genius

Chapter 85

Chae-yoon was able to read the score to the end that day.

Of course, I didn’t read it perfectly, and it was embarrassing to say that I read it because it was with Jo Sung-hyun who was next to me… .

‘Anyway, I did.’

If it were Jo Sung-hyun, I would have given up right away no matter how close I was to someone like myself.

However, Chaeyoon barely moved except for going to pick up a pencil in the middle, and focused only on the score.

As if learning a new song was just as much fun, the child hugged Jo Seong-hyeon after playing the song perfectly for the last time.

“Done!”

As Chae-yoon cried out and hugged her waist, Jo Seong-hyun stood up and wrapped her arms around the child’s shoulders.

“Our Chaeyoon worked so hard.”

“Hehe.”

“Would you like some yogurt?”

At those words, Chae-yoon jumped up from her seat.

Jo Sung-hyun went to the refrigerator and took out two yogurts.

He put a straw and held out a piece of yogurt to Chae-yoon, and the child took it and began to suck the yogurt.

“Let’s listen to music while drinking yogurt.”

“I like Chae-yoon.”

As if it didn’t matter, the child nodded.

Jo Sung-hyun connected the speaker to his smartphone and played the song.

Now, it was really a situation where Chaeyoon had to decide which song she would play in the finals of the contest this time.

There are only ten days left until the final stage of the contest.

For Chaeyun, ten days would be enough time to practice the piano, but the other children must have practiced much longer than Chaeyun.

No matter how hurriedly Chaeyoon practiced, it was not enough.

It may be possible to fill in the amount of practice that the child lacks in talent to some extent, but that will not be enough.

Because Chaeyoon wasn’t the only child talented at the piano in the world.

In the first round of the finals, you can select and play one of the four sonatas determined by the organizer.

Sonatane means small sonata, and compared to general sonatas, it is characterized by its small size and ease of play.

It was difficult to say that the difficulty level was high, as these were often used when teaching piano to beginners at the piano academy.

However, the song that is quite difficult to properly capture the feeling of the song is the sonataine.

There was a huge difference between the sonatas played by a talented pianist and the sonatas played by a beginner.

Mozart’s Piano Sonata No. 16, which Chae Yoon-i played in the preliminary stage, was also a sonata.

Among the nominees for this final song, Mozart’s Piano Sonata No. 16 was on the list.

“Chae Yoon-ah, would you like to hear this first?”

“yes!”

Do you remember what Chaeyun had heard while preparing for the preliminaries? When Jo Sunghyun showed the thumbnail of the video, she nodded without hesitation.

Cho Sung-hyun listened to Mozart’s Piano Sonata No. 16 in sequence.

Mozart Piano Sonata No. 16.

Sonatine by Muccio Clementi.

Friedrich Kulau’s Sonatines.

And Ludwig van Beethoven’s Sonatines.

After listening to the songs over and over again, Jo Sung-hyun looked at Chae-yoon.

“Chae Yoon-ah, which song do you like the most?”

“Umm… .”

The child became a worried face, whether it would be easy to make a decision.

“Shall we do something familiar?”

Perhaps Mozart’s Piano Sonata No. 16 would be the best way.

Chaeyoon absolutely lacked time to practice, and in such a situation, it might be a good thing that there is a song that she has already prepared.

However, Chae-yoon shook her head.

“Something else.”

From https://readwn.com

Mozart crossed the water.

Ai has clearly expressed her will, and the songs that Chaeyun is thinking about are, after all, one of the sonatines of Muccio Clementi, Friedrich Kulau, and Ludwig van Beethoven.

“… Let’s do it.”

Chae-yoon got off the sofa and headed towards the piano, probably thinking about trying to play a song on the piano once.

I’ve listened to it a few times, but of course it won’t be easy to follow along.

Instead, you should know enough about the feeling.

Jo Seong-hyeon sat on the sofa for a while and listened to Chae-yoon playing the song, then gently turned his head.

Earlier, as Chae-yoon pulled out a pencil, the messy child’s bag caught my eye.

Jo Seong-hyeon stepped forward and approached Chae-yoon’s bag.

While organizing the bag while listening to the child’s performance, Jo Seong-hyeon suddenly realized that he hadn’t checked the recording paper that Min Eun-jung had written today, and took out the recording paper.

[Today, Chaeyoon has been bright since morning.

I did well in class with my friends, and in my spare time, I went to the piano and played the piano like before.

I ate miso soup and hamburg steak for lunch, and I still played the piano in the afternoon.

Lately, Chaeyoon has been hanging out with her friends a lot and sitting in front of the piano less than before, but today, for some reason, she just keeps playing the piano.]

Jo Seong-hyeon, who confirmed what Min Eun-jung had written, scratched her cheek.

So, Chaeyoon continued playing the piano in kindergarten, and when she comes home, she reads the sheet music and plays the piano with Jo Seonghyeon.

I never took a break except for eating jjajangmyeon and sweet and sour pork while reading the sheet music.

“Chae Yoon-ah, aren’t you having a hard time?”

Jo Seong-hyeon asked as he put the recording paper in his bag.

There was no answer from the child.

Chae-yoon was concentrating on playing the piano, while Jo Seong-hyun realized that the child had not heard him and quietly waited for the song to end.

Chae-yoon, who was playing Beethoven’s Sonatine, took a deep breath and exhaled as soon as it was over.

Jo Sung-hyeon looked at Chae-yoon and waited.

Chaeyoon, who looked down at the keyboard for a moment, turned to look at Jo Sung-hyun.

“Dad.”

“Yes, Chae Yoon-ah.”

“I’m number three!”

“What about number three?”

Jo Sung-hyun asked.

I know that the child has decided which song to play, but I don’t know what song he decided on.

Chaeyoung frowned.

I can’t seem to remember the composer’s name.

Indeed, it is possible that

Right now, Jo Sung-hyun did nothing but Mozart and Beethoven.

“Chae Yoon-ah, if you don’t know, it’s okay to tell me on the piano.”

At Jo Sung-hyun’s words, Chae-yoon’s face brightens.

The child immediately put his hand on the keyboard and started playing.

Follow others.

After listening to the piano playing, Jo Seong-hyeon could only find out what song the child was going to sing.

Sonatine by Muccio Clementi.

In a way, it is the sonatine that can be felt the easiest.

So, the Sonata is easy to access even for beginners.

It is a very well-arranged and clear sonata form.

“Then, shall we practice hard with that song in the future?”

“yes. hard.”

Chae-yoon nodded her head in reply.

He worked really hard, and his desire to play well was being revealed.

Also, Chae-yoon was the daughter of Jo Sung-hyun.

next day.

Cho Sung-hyun did not go to work.

I would go to work on Wednesday, talk with team leader Woo Kyung-soo, and, if possible, have another meeting with Seo Ye-na.

‘Today is… You should study Clementi’s Sonatine.’

Jo Seong-hyun finished the housework and sat down on the sofa in the living room.

There were a little over 4 hours left until Chae-yoon’s house time.

During that time, Cho Seong-hyeon was thinking of studying Clementi’s Sonatine.

Cho Seong-hyeon doesn’t know anything about Clementi.

He didn’t study classical music professionally, and he didn’t just learn the piano according to the rules.

Of course, he studied the basics diligently, but more than that, Seong-hyeon Cho was self-taught.

I know some really famous classical composers, but I don’t know much about Clementi.

What kind of song his sonatine is.

In order for Chaeyun to participate as Clementi Sonatine in the finals of the contest, Chaeyoon was also Chaeyun, but Jo Sunghyun had to study really hard about the song.

That way, if there is something that Chaeyoon is doing wrong, she can let me know and check whether she is doing well or not.

Cho Seong-hyeon was holding Clementi Sonatine’s sheet music and wearing glasses.

I don’t usually wear glasses, but sometimes when I study, I do.

Jo Sung-hyun’s eyes aren’t that bad, so they’re not high-precision glasses, but they help a little when studying.

Jo Seong-hyeon, who was slowly reading the sheet music and grasping little by little about Sonatine, let out a muffled sound.

It wasn’t difficult to understand.

To the extent that Yoo Jae-gyun once told Jo Seong-hyeon that he was very good at first glance, Jo Seong-hyeon wasn’t the type to have a hard time reading sheet music.

But understanding it and being able to do it well are another story.

It is also important to check that your understanding is correct.

As soon as Jo Seong-hyeon thought about it that far, he gently lifted his head.

His gaze stopped at the piano.

“… … .”

little conflict.

And Seong-hyeon Cho stood up.

Get up with the sheet music and place it in front of the piano.

I turn on the piano and put my hand on the keyboard.

Whoa!

Jo Sung-hyun’s smartphone vibrated loudly.

Jo Sung-hyun, shivering, turned his head and looked at the smartphone on the sofa.
