The Healing Life of a Music Genius - Chapter 82

82 Enchanted

* * *

Baek So-yeon looked at the score carefully and continued speaking.

“This song came out better than I expected. “I never thought I could do it to this extent…”

Shin Joo-won also agreed with those words.

“At this level, it can be considered a performance song. “It doesn’t feel like a middle school performance evaluation.”

“yes?”

“We don’t know much about composition, but it doesn’t mean we don’t know how to read a song, right? “There are just a few songs I have studied so far.”

“I can’t even count them. That’s why we know what this song is like.”

I had no idea that the song would turn out like this until we first started playing as a team and each team member expressed different opinions.

I didn’t have this feeling until the main melody was decided and each part was composed separately.

In fact, it’s a good thing to say, but isn’t it a performance evaluation or, to put it another way, homework?

So I thought this was enough.

This is where the incident began.

At some point, the level changed as the team leader began to arrange all the parts that the team members had created.

The melody created by the team members clearly remained the same, but the way the main theme was developed and developed became elaborate to the point of giving goosebumps.

So much so that you can’t add or subtract any more notes here.

The direction and atmosphere of the song became clearer, and the melody became more prominent.

It was an arrangement that was almost creative.

Thanks to this, compared to the first review copy sent to teacher Yang Woo-ju, the quality of the current finished copy was different.

Music that can be considered almost perfect.

Because of that, the team members were having their own discussions.

Baek So-yeon opens her mouth.

“What on earth is Seojin? Did you see him play the piano too? That alone would make me faint… but they even compose music to this extent? “Is this possible?”

“In one word, he’s a genius. Still, it seems like there’s something there. “He definitely has a secret.”

“secret? AC2505 Are you a party to the accident?”

“Now, everyone at our school knows that.”

“then?”

“I don’t know. It smells. “It smells.”

“······.”

Shin Joo-won started sniffing.

Baek So-yeon touched her forehead.

After a serious(?) discussion, the two arrived at the school library. Present your student ID and take a seat in front of the library computer. Open the sheet music file and look at it in silence.

Final review work.

The two finally reached a conclusion.

“This is actually a song that Seojin composed almost entirely.”

“that’s right. “We were just team members who got scolded by Seojin for scribbling down a few notes.”

“No matter how much a practical composition test is a passing performance evaluation, there should be at least a minimum of conscience, right?”

“I agree.”

Shin Joo-won and Baek So-yeon once again made up their minds.

Baek So-yeon’s mouse moves quickly.

Soon after…

The font size of team members Baek So-yeon and Shin Joo-won is 10pt.

The font size of ‘Team Leader Han Seo-jin’ was changed to 15pt.

The font size was changed depending on the level of contribution.

“Is this enough?”

“50% is enough. Anything more than this will seem excessive.”

“In my opinion, 200 points…”

“But you can’t cover one page with three characters.”

“Yeah, right?”

Baek So-yeon takes a deep breath.

And he calmly nodded.

“I feel lighter.”

“me too.”

They were the two who kept their conscience at least.

After successfully modifying the font size in the school library and sending an email, they hurried back to class A in the piano department.

There was still time left for lunch, so the students were leisurely spending time, and among them was one who was involved in the incident.

Han Seo-jin welcomed them.

“Did you send me an email?”

“Yes.”

“Just because I do it. “It was nothing special.”

“no. Cross-checking is important in things like this, right? Even if you reviewed it last, it makes sense for us to take another look. yes? “Joowon?”

“of course.”

Han Seo-jin tilted his head slightly.

“is it? Was there any problem with the sheet music?”

“It was perfect. And it was cool that they fixed the coda part.”

“oh. “Did you recognize me?”

“Because I also looked at the score intently. “It didn’t help much, but…”

Baek So-yeon suddenly lowers her head. When Han Seo-jin looks at Shin Joo-won without knowing why, he gives an additional explanation.

“It’s embarrassing because it feels like so little has been done. Seojin says it seems like you’ve done everything.”

“······ You didn’t do anything? Soyeon, you gave the most opinions. In fact, you composed almost all of the intro. Was it helpful enough?”

“That was something I had to do…”

Han Seo-jin looked at Baek So-yeon and burst out laughing.

‘Kids this age are pure.’

Even though I was actually ‘in this age group’, I couldn’t help but feel that way.

Han Seo-jin started to give Baek So-yeon a little too much encouragement, which led to Baek So-yeon’s “Oh, I understand. This continued until the words “Stop…!” were uttered.

Shin Joo-won looked at the two quietly and spoke quietly.

“Praise teacher. A shy student. “This is it.”

“What kind of teacher am I? also.”

“What, what! “What am I doing!”

After a brief commotion, Han Seo-jin settled the situation.

“Anyway, are we finished with our practical performance evaluation? “Everyone worked hard.”

“huh. Seojin, you worked hard too.”

“But you still have your presentation left. “It looks like it’s quite difficult to play. Can you do it well?”

Han Seo-jin answered Shin Joo-won’s question lightly.

“I was practicing a long time ago, so there is no problem. “I can play it right now.”

“It’s so versatile. “He’s not the chief for nothing.”

“More than that, I want to ask you guys what you think.”

“what?”

“huh?”

Baek So-yeon, who was listening to Han Seo-jin’s explanation, had no choice but to stop mid-sentence.

“······ Let’s release a song?”

“Registering copyright is not a very difficult task, so don’t worry. “I think it’s a song that would be a waste to just bury.”

Shin Joo-won laughs.

“so? Are you just going to make a presentation? “What’s next?”

Han Seo-jin’s eyes shine.

“I think we could do something pretty interesting. I think I can earn some pocket money along with my job. “I found something on the Internet.”

Han Seo-jin shows her smartphone screen to her friends and asks them about their intentions.

“It’s definitely meaningful. “If possible, I would like to try it too.”

“But will this song work?”

Han Seo-jin answered casually.

“Try it and if it doesn’t work, don’t do it. “You have to make the most of it.”

* * *

Meanwhile.

“how is it? There’s a chance, right? “It will stand out more because it is a self-composed song.”

“It’s good. Are you saying this was composed by the first-year Class A students? On a team that includes the head of the music department?”

“yes. I received the finished copy at lunch today, and I was convinced when I saw it. “This is a song that shouldn’t be finished as a performance evaluation.”

The vice principal nodded to Teacher Yang Woo-joo’s explanation.

“However, I think it’s right to decide after watching him play.”

“Even though the song is good?”

“We have to check. “Because seats are limited.”

An art museum operated by the Sulwha Foundation.

There are chamber music performances held there twice a year.

It is a performance that anyone can go see as long as they successfully purchase tickets, but the charm of this performance lies elsewhere.

‘It’s actually like a support group meeting.’

A place where numerous conglomerate figures and musicians who love classical music gather.

If you get noticed here, you won’t have to worry about money in your future music career.

What if you’re a violinist?

You can also rent instruments such as Stradivarius or Guarnelli, violins called masterpieces of the century, for free.

What if you’re a pianist?

Based on your sponsorship, you can receive significant financial support for studying abroad or taking lessons. You may be offered a performance.

Normally, music should be viewed only as music.

Real music wasn’t like that.

‘Because this is really reality.’

In fact, there was a student who received a free loan of Guarnelli through a performance at this museum.

Although it was almost a few years ago, it was important that such a possibility existed.

If possible, I wanted to release this song as a digital version and get the public’s attention, but is that easy?

It would have been much better to turn our gaze a little and look for various solutions.

If you do that, the way will open up.

After finishing the conversation with the vice-principal, Yang Woo-joo took a deep breath.

‘You’ll decide after seeing it for yourself…’

Yang Woo-joo confirmed the date of the announcement of the composition performance.

‘Day after tomorrow. Since Seojin is the team leader, he will be able to present well.’

Because it was not a final decision, I did not tell the children in advance.

Coincidentally, the museum performance was at the beginning of next month.

The German competition that Seojin is preparing for is during summer vacation.

Since the timing does not overlap, you can do this if you put your mind to it.

Shin Joo-won and Baek So-yeon were the same. I heard that they are both participating in a competition this summer, and this museum performance will definitely be a great opportunity for them.

Of course, that will be decided based on the announcement the day after tomorrow.

* * *

Sulwha Yejung Main Auditorium.

“All the piano department students gathered today? “Wasn’t the practical composition class originally conducted by class?”

Lee Ha-eun answers Baek So-yeon’s question.

“It suddenly changed. “I heard that the vice principal and principal are coming to observe today?”

“really?”

“huh. “Maybe that’s why they said I had to write down my impressions as well.”

Shin Joo-won sighs.

“I can’t rest at all.”

“Isn’t the idea of ​​taking a break during class wrong?”

Shin Joo-won made an excuse as Baek So-yeon glared at him.

“I just tried to concentrate on listening to the music. Especially our song this time. I was curious about our team player’s performance. “I’ve never seen it before.”

As Shin Joo-won said, I have never performed properly in front of my teammates. There wasn’t much time, and when the team members got together, they focused more on ‘composing’.

I mostly practiced when I was alone.

“But aren’t you putting too much pressure on me?”

“no way. What is the burden on the chief? “I was just looking forward to it.”

When we were talking at the entrance to the main auditorium.

“Get out of the way, right? “Did you rent this place?”

Oh Beom-jun got on our nerves. Even though there was plenty of way to pass. Three people will also pass by.

The same kid from the first time I saw him and every time we had joint classes.

Thanks to this, I started to feel more affectionate.

“sorry. “By the way, have you prepared well for today’s composition practical exam?”

“what? Are you arguing now? “And you?”

Uh… it was an expression of interest.

There is no way in the world I can be this unfair.

“I’m fine.”

“Didn’t you think that I would have done well too?”

“How about we change our way of speaking a little for the sake of others?”

“Take care of yourself. “Don’t act arrogantly just because you’re the chief.”

“You are also a senior. Senior in piano department. It’s normal for everyone. “How about you look at yourself too?”

“······.”

Beomjun Oh glared at me and then quickly passed by.

Seeing that scene, Shin Joo-won starts crying.

“It seems like we had a deep relationship with each other in our past lives. how is it? “Anything that comes to mind?”

“Past life?”

“huh.”

“······ Ah, I suddenly remembered something.”

“what?”

“I don’t think I would have talked to you much in my past life, Shin Joo-won. “I said too many ridiculous things.”

“······ Chet.”

We took our seats in the auditorium, and class started right away.

As Lee Ha-eun said, the principal and vice principal were already seated.

The teaching method was simple.

Each team goes on stage, briefly introduces the song, and then performs it.

Students below the stage listen to the song and individually evaluate it.

The time given to each team is approximately 1 minute and 30 seconds.

Thanks to this, it didn’t seem like it would take a long time even if Class A, Class B, and Class C all played.

The first team moved up.

A cute song based on C Major.

however···.

Someone poked me behind my back. I turned around and saw Lee Ha-eun speaking to me only with her mouth.

‘⌜For some reason, it feels a bit similar to spring⌟?’

I think he probably said something like that. I shrug my shoulders and Lee Ha-eun laughs.

The second was Lee Ha-eun’s team.

The team leader is Lee Ha-eun.

Lee Ha-eun’s performance was very smooth.

The song felt a little clumsy, but traces of effort were visible here and there.

I also used modulation and syncopated notes.

If you listen closely, there are parts that make you laugh.

‘It’s like music written after watching a child go get snacks.’

The joy was clearly felt.

The turn passed quickly.

“Han Seo-jin, Baek So-yeon, Shin Joo-won team.”

Finally, our team was called.

The entire team went up on stage.

While Baek So-yeon was explaining the song, I took a seat in front of the piano.

Now that I think about it… this was the first time I released a song I composed (together with my team members) with my face revealed.

If this happens, what will happen later when registering copyright? Team Hanbaekshin, named after the first letter of each person’s name? Everyone in class A of the piano department? It was a matter to think about gradually.

Baek So-yeon’s explanation is coming to an end.

I put my hands on the piano keys.

I looked down the stage and saw the principal and vice principal quietly looking at me.

And it was the same for Teacher Yang Woo-joo.

“······ That’s how I created this song. Our song has a title because it is title music. that.”

Baek So-yeon cleared her throat and said, “Hmm!”

“⌜Enchanted Mist⌟. Translated into Korean, it is ⌜Magic Fog⌟. i look forward to.”

As soon as Baek So-yeon finished speaking, I pressed the keys hard.

‘Taking the first step into an invisible fog is a little… scary.’

A story about three children trapped in a fog and escaping from it.

This is a song that expresses a ‘real story like fantasy’ that I personally experienced, with a bit of a twist.

That was the theme of this song.
