Book Introduction
The one and only guide to classical music that will sit on your desk!
"The moment you discover classical music, life becomes free."
Classical music refers to music composed several centuries ago.
The meaning of classical music comes from its ‘oldness.’
The true meaning and utility of classical music lies in the fact that music composed long ago, the kind we only encounter in books and films, still exists, maintaining its vitality without being swept away by the waves of change.
Incorporating classics into everyday life can be said to be an act of breathing life into them, a life force that shines brighter as time passes.
It is a spiritual transfusion that still touches many people as time goes by, a soul transplant that transcends borders and age and touches people's hearts.
That's why the seven classical mentors confess that when classical music flows into daily life, life becomes more colorful and enriching.
A classical conversation method shared by seven classical mentors, including pianist and former Seoul Arts Center president Kim Yong-bae, music critic Jang Il-beom (judge for Opera Star), Jeong Jun-ho (former editor-in-chief of Gramophone Korea), Jeong Man-seop (former editor-in-chief of Monthly Record Review), music columnist and thoracic surgeon Yoo Jeong-woo (panelist for Masterpiece Scandal), classical broadcast host Yoo Jeong-ah (visiting research fellow at Seoul National University), and Lee Mi-seon (DJ for Your Night and Music).
Through stories of the enlightenment they gained from classical music and the moments in their lives enriched by it, you will learn how to truly appreciate classical music.

Into the book
Saffron, the sound of the cello he plays captivates me with its primal, earthy scent, like the singing of a Russian bass, famous for its low, low notes.
Winter trees may seem quiet and lonely at first glance, but in reality, they are busier and more intense than any other season, storing nutrients through sunlight and wind and preparing for new life.
Winter is a season of rest and preparation.
Maybe that's why.
Listening to Bach's music in winter, against the backdrop of a desolate winter landscape, fills me with deeper thoughts and energy than ever before.
That's the conversation Bach and I are having. --- p. 1 Movement 〈One Day, Classical Music Began to Speak〉
The answer to these questions lies within music.
No matter how broken, corrupt, and arrogant humans are, at a crucial moment, they are beings who can create, enjoy, and share this kind of beauty without any cost.
A proud awareness that if the essence of the musical spirit lies in sharing beauty, then the evil within it can ultimately be overcome.
That is the power of music, which allows us to soothe our weary hearts and prepare for the next stage of life. --- p. 2, Movement 〈Classic Within Us〉
All art represents its times.
If you've quenched your thirst for new music, there's no need to hammer nails into the mouth of the old well, but rather to rejoice in your newfound joy.
If the number of such listeners increases, it means that our ears have become barren and arrogant.
Simple and humble ears are happy.
"Humble Ears" always cherishes the music that stirred the pure blood of his youth, and remembers the moments he crossed the mighty mountain range in search of the moving moments that awaited him beyond. --- p.3 Movement "Music is Another World, Sweet Yet Fierce"
The music that guides me, willingly giving myself over to that inexplicable obsession, and simply listening to what I desire most within myself.
And again, by asking questions to that sound and getting answers, I gradually expand my own musical world.
The expansion of the music world does not necessarily mean an expansion of the repertoire or an increase in the number of albums in one's collection.
If the conversations I share with music increase, wouldn't that mean my own musical world will expand? --- p.4, Movement 〈Everyone's Life Has Their Own Classical Music〉
Music is emotional.
Truly great music seeps into your heart without any knowledge or background.
Once we get rid of the beginner label of classical music, we often try to ignore the music that everyone else knows and likes, labeling it as "for beginners."
However, there is a simple truth that you will discover when taking classical music classes.
There is a reason why a work is loved by everyone.
Isn't truly great music music that can be heard even without knowing it? So, these days, I keep thinking, "The more you know, the more you hear," not "The more you listen, the more you know." --- p. 5, Movement 〈Classical Music Isn't Special, and That's Why It's All the More Special〉
Don't set your own absolute standards for interpreting music and get too caught up in them.
There can be various interpretations of music.
Just as people around the world differ by country and race, the best way to appreciate classical music is to acknowledge and appreciate differences while comparing them. --- p.6, Movement 〈Listening to Classical Music〉
A performer cannot go beyond the work.
It cannot be overcome and must not be overcome.
Those who play to show off have lost their humility as performers.
However, the person who can extract everything contained in a work in the form of a score and process it into the form of sound is also a performer.
So, in the end, the one who can show how great the song is is the performer.
Between humility and pride, performers strive to maintain a balance.

Publisher's Review
The one and only guide to classical music that will sit on your desk!
- “The moment you open your eyes to classical music, life becomes free.”
A classical conversation method shared by seven classical mentors, including pianist and former Seoul Arts Center president Kim Yong-bae, music critic Jang Il-beom (judge for Opera Star), Jeong Jun-ho (former editor-in-chief of Gramophone Korea), Jeong Man-seop (former editor-in-chief of Monthly Record Review), music columnist and thoracic surgeon Yoo Jeong-woo (panelist for Masterpiece Scandal), classical broadcast host Yoo Jeong-ah (visiting research fellow at Seoul National University), and Lee Mi-seon (DJ for Your Night and Music).
Through stories of the enlightenment they gained from classical music and the moments in their lives enriched by it, you will learn how to truly appreciate classical music.
Just as there are different ways of living, there are also different ways of listening to classical music.
People who listen while studying, office workers who listen to soothe their tired souls, and even housewives who listen while cleaning and doing laundry.
This book says that there is no wrong way.
If there comes a moment when you feel happy after listening to just one piece, just one person's performance, then that is 'Happy Classicus'.
The term "classic" originated from the division of citizenship into six classes in ancient Rome, with the highest class being called "classicus."
But in this book, Classicus does not refer to the highest class.
It has a new meaning: people who accompany classics and have conversations with classics.
This book, which is structured step-by-step to accommodate everyone from beginners just beginning to those who are interested in classical music to seasoned classical music enthusiasts, enhances the reader's understanding by inserting recommended classical music pieces for each chapter.
When your heart is infinitely hungry,
When you feel like your daily life is drying up,
When you want to escape from the complex world for a moment,
That's when "classics are needed"
Classical music refers to music composed several centuries ago.
The meaning of classical music comes from its ‘oldness.’
The true meaning and utility of classical music lies in the fact that music composed long ago, the kind we only encounter in books and films, still exists, maintaining its vitality without being swept away by the waves of change.
Incorporating classics into everyday life can be said to be an act of breathing life into them, a life force that shines brighter as time passes.
It is a spiritual transfusion that still touches many people as time goes by, a soul transplant that transcends borders and age and touches people's hearts.
That's why the seven classical mentors confess that when classical music flows into daily life, life becomes more colorful and enriching.
“If there’s one thing I want to continue to do with music, it’s to live within music and like music.” - Kim Yong-bae
“This is what music was like to my father.
“A ray of wind that soothed my bitter body and mind on this unknowable road of life, where I could not sustain myself by earning money and earning a living.” - Yoo Jeong-ah
“Truly great music seeps into your heart without any knowledge or background or anything like that.
“It’s not ‘You hear as much as you know,’ but ‘You learn as you listen.’” - Yoo Jeong-woo
“When we open our hearts to music, we gain another language.
“A language that can communicate beyond the limitations of the language we have, beyond time and space.” - Lee Mi-seon
“Let’s not set absolute standards for musical interpretation and get too caught up in them.
“It is best to enjoy things by acknowledging and comparing differences, just as people differ from country to country and race to race.” - Jang Il-beom
“Listening to music means willingly surrendering to the music that guides me, to that inexplicable obsession, to simply listen most attentively to what I desire within myself.” - Jeong Man-seop
“Happy are the simple and humble ears.
“Humble Ears” cherishes the music that made pure blood boil, and remembers the moment when they crossed the great mountain range in search of the emotion that awaited them beyond.” - Jeong Jun-ho
People think classical music is difficult.
But, as we live, there comes a time when we are comforted by classical music.
The classics of that time could be the background music in a moving movie, or the music playing in a bar you went to to soothe your gloomy mood.
There are moments when a melody I hear by chance, without any knowledge or information, quietly comforts me.
That is why classical music is not music to be ‘studied’, but music to be ‘listened to and felt’.
KBS Classic FM's 33rd anniversary commemorative book published!
- Classic conversation techniques taught by seven classic mentors
- “This is how I listen to, feel, and am moved by classical music!”
'KBS Classic FM' is a classical music specialty broadcasting station that plays only classical music 24 hours a day, and is a channel loved by classical music lovers.
Published on April 2, 2012, to commemorate the station's 33rd anniversary, this book is no exaggeration in that it condenses 33 years of Classic FM knowledge, information, music, and stories into a single volume.
This book, in which seven classical mentors who have worked with Classic FM as hosts, panelists, and presenters introduce their own classical conversation methods, feels like peeking into the reading notes of a bookworm.
From Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart to Mahler, Schoenberg, Gould, and the West-Eastern Symphony Orchestra, stories of composers, performers, and music are interwoven with the authors' personal experiences as warp and weft, creating a moving harmony.
As you read, you will naturally find yourself stepping deeper and deeper into the world of classics.
