who works in various fields, including pianist, composer, music director, concert guide, and university lecturer.\u003cbr\u003e The author, who majored in piano, thought it would be difficult to make a living from music, so he studied business administration and even started a business, but eventually returned to his original path of music.\u003cbr\u003e In the process, the author calmly and

life.\u003cbr\u003e The book contains various episodes surrounding music and the world, including stories of his childhood when he first encountered music, memories of ruining the stage during a performance, his attitude toward music, the journey of creating a single song, and even stories of great musicians such as Bach, Beethoven, and Schubert.\u003cbr\u003e No matter what profession we

The simple melody of the five instruments, resembling the breath of a tree, always filled me with a sense of fullness, and within it was something like a hand welcoming me.\u003cbr\u003e At ten years old, I was not good at expressing myself verbally, but music was an easier language for me.\u003cbr\u003e I feel more understood when I listen to music than when I talk to someone.\u003cbr\u003e ---

single clash. \u003cbr\u003eSome melodies pause, others surge forward, and they flow in an orderly manner, avoiding and overlapping each other.\u003cbr\u003e When we consider that these complex movements are designed and controlled by a single hand, we might think that the composer is perhaps closer to being both an artist and an engineer.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.51\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I believe there are sounds that only old instruments can produce.\u003cbr\u003e There is a resonance that only an instrument that has been shaken countless times by unfamiliar hands can contain.\u003cbr\u003e There are melodies that can only be understood after experiencing the rolling waves.\u003cbr\u003e Sometimes there are things you have to take a long way to find.\u003cbr\u003e Even if the place you return to is the starting line again, it is no longer the same place as before.\u003cbr\u003e Just as the protagonist in the story grows through his journey and returns to his place, perhaps I too began my journey toward the piano the moment I left it.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.69\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIf you just leave it alone because it's annoying, it'll just harden, whether it's the ground or your heart.\u003cbr\u003e Maybe that's why I keep trying to open my heart and embrace something, whether it's words or music.\u003cbr\u003e If you turn it over like that, at least it won't become hard.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Music is a longer journey than you think.\u003cbr\u003e There are times when you have to run fast, and there are times when you have to stop for a moment.\u003cbr\u003e There are times when you need to run hard, and times when you get tired, you need to take a break to catch your breath.\u003cbr\u003e For some people, running is difficult, and for others, resting is difficult.\u003cbr\u003e Some people are good at everything from the start, while others take time to figure it out.\u003cbr\u003e Each different time and tempo come together to create the rhythm of the music.\u003cbr\u003e So how wise is the man who runs when he should run and walks when he should walk.\u003cbr\u003e Or how musical is the person who does it the other way around?\u003cbr\u003e --- p.127\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e So there's no need to rush too much. \u003cbr\u003eJust as 'Romanticism' was born from the mixture of Chopin, who wanted to move forward, and Brahms, who wanted to move backward, perhaps romanticism is created in the gap between push and pull.\u003cbr\u003e … (omitted) … So, it’s okay to miss the timing sometimes.\u003cbr\u003e As life always is, we are destined to meet again at a similar pace at some point.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e On a quiet night, I want to play Schubert's music to you, who is still crouching in a corner.\u003cbr\u003e In the end, what can comfort sadness is sadness itself, and it must be sadness itself.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.173\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Since my trip, I've always wanted to be the voice that gives space to someone.\u003cbr\u003e Music that stays with you rather than speaking to you.\u003cbr\u003e Like light quietly settling on the edge, I just want to be the next beautiful sound after silence.\u003cbr\u003e If that sound can help someone endure winter, then that's enough for me.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.201\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWhen the following autumn arrived, I finally began to understand this song little by little.\u003cbr\u003e The lyrics that I thought I wrote without thinking were actually ones that arrived a year earlier.\u003cbr\u003e A few words and melodies that had been left blank like an unsolved puzzle have now found their place.\u003cbr\u003e The autumn wind blew through the melody, and the black and white landscape was filled with colors like watercolor.\u003cbr\u003e After a season like that, [autumn] finally came to

escaped the piano, but then suddenly there’s another piano.”\u003cbr\u003e - From \"Sangdo Salon\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Author Jeong Hwan-ho is a young musician who is active in various fields in the classical music world. \u003cbr\u003eSince releasing his first composition album through Universal Music in 2012, he has released over 100 piano pieces and has also composed several Korean songs, including “Flowering Days.”\u003cbr\u003e He is quite a veteran in the music industry.\u003cbr\u003e Still, the author says that making a living through music is not easy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As mentioned in the book, in our country, making music is considered a luxury hobby enjoyed by people with jobs, like knitting or coloring.\u003cbr\u003e There is no such thing as 'artist' in the occupation section of bank loan applications.\u003cbr\u003e The author describes himself as a 'music-related service industry worker.'\u003cbr\u003e Although he is currently making a living on the fringes of music, he once studied business administration and even started a business and became a manager.\u003cbr\u003e And after failing, we returned to where the original music was. \u003cbr\u003eThe process of that wandering is recorded in the second chapter, ‘Gearco Again, Music’.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e

nearby residential area.\u003cbr\u003e I happened to buy a used grand piano and needed a place to put it.\u003cbr\u003e The 'Sangdo Salon' he prepared in this way was the only space where he, a business administration student, could breathe.\u003cbr\u003e A place where you can play the piano all night long and talk about art with people.\u003cbr\u003e But the business that started in a small workshop grew like a snowball.\u003cbr\u003e And the closer I got to business, the more I drifted away from the music I loved.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Looking back, my wish was simple from the beginning.\u003cbr\u003e I just needed a place in my space where I could play the piano comfortably.\u003cbr\u003e But before I knew it, I was wrestling with contracts and tax bills instead of the piano.” (p. 65)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe business he had been developing with great interest completely failed, and the author, who had run away from the piano, ended up facing the piano again at a dead end.\u003cbr\u003e And then he remembered that his music wasn't over yet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “At that time, I was trying to break away from the black and white keyboard and find a different meaning, but deep down, there was a cowardly black and white logic that said, ‘If I can’t be the best, I might as well quit.’\u003cbr\u003e I was afraid to face the piano again, for fear of revealing my feelings.\u003cbr\u003e I'm afraid it will show that I'm lacking something and have failed somewhere.\u003cbr\u003e “In the end, sitting down at the piano was an encounter with myself.” (p. 69)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Of course, the business process wasn't all about the pain of failure.\u003cbr\u003e The author says that through various experiences, he was able to understand the world a little better.\u003cbr\u003e The scenery of the alleys of Nonhyeon-dong, where everyone dreamed of success during their time as managers, is quite interesting. \u003cbr\u003eThe author's experience of laughing at names like 'Girlfriend' and 'BTS' from nearby entertainment companies...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “After about a year, I realized firsthand how great that name was.\u003cbr\u003e The agency that launched BTS leased the entire building next door, and the cramped Nonhyeon-dong hill began to fill up with foreigners from all over the world on a pilgrimage.\u003cbr\u003e That's when I realized for sure.\u003cbr\u003e “If you do exactly the opposite of what I feel, anything will work out.” (p. 67)\u003cbr\u003e

is.\u003cbr\u003e Bringing up the story of the elementary school fall sports day, the author confesses that he has been “slow-tempo since birth.”\u003cbr\u003e Besides, there are so many random thoughts in my head.\u003cbr\u003e I'm the type of person who finds it difficult to survive without deadlines, and this isn't just my struggle. \u003cbr\u003eOne can only imagine how difficult it must have been for someone like this to navigate the competitive and efficient world of both musician and businessman.\u003cbr\u003e The author, who lives at a slow pace, sends messages of encouragement throughout the book to people who live at a similar pace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “I know people who love hilltop scenery more than the complexities of the city.\u003cbr\u003e A

attitude toward music and life.\u003cbr\u003e Recalling the time when he was making the album \"Garden of the Heart,\" the author says that making music is similar to tending a garden.\u003cbr\u003e The work of selecting and refining the notes that grow every day is the work of making music.\u003cbr\u003e So, to prevent the ground of the mind from hardening, he always digs it out and embraces it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “If you just leave it alone because it’s bothersome, it’ll just harden, whether it’s the ground or your heart.\u003cbr\u003e Maybe that's why I keep trying to open my heart and embrace something, whether it's words or music.\u003cbr\u003e “If you turn it over like that, at least it won’t become hard.” (Main text, p. 122)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It is also interesting to talk about why the slow movement with andante is difficult by connecting it to 'stroll'.\u003cbr\u003e Andante means 'to walk'. \u003cbr\u003eSince everyone's foot size and stride length are different, asking exactly what speed is is not very meaningful.\u003cbr\u003e According to the author, it is about continuing to move forward without stopping, but without running, and the word that best describes this movement is 'walking'.\u003cbr\u003e Ultimately, the reason the author was unable to play andante properly in college was because he lived in a time of rapid pace.\u003cbr\u003e The author emphasizes that each person has a different time and tempo in life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Music is a longer journey than you think.\u003cbr\u003e There are times when you have to run fast, and there are times when you have to stop for a moment.\u003cbr\u003e There are times when you need to run hard, and times when you get tired, you need to take a break to catch your breath.\u003cbr\u003e For some people, running is difficult, and for others, resting is difficult.\u003cbr\u003e Some people are good at everything from the start, while others take time to figure it out.\u003cbr\u003e Each different time and tempo come together to create the rhythm of the music. \u003cbr\u003eSo how wise is the man who runs when he should run and walks when he should walk.\u003cbr\u003e Or how musical is the person who does the opposite?” (p. 127)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e These reflections and insights on music are naturally connected to the stories of great musicians in the fourth chapter.\u003cbr\u003e In this chapter, we look back on the present through the lives and music of musicians such as Bach, Beethoven, and Schubert.\u003cbr\u003e The author introduces the stories of Bach, a 'professional N-jobber' who suffered from financial hardship but nevertheless walked his own path; Beethoven, who endured pain and moved on to the song of joy; and Schubert, who comforted sorrow with sorrow, all with the author's musical knowledge.\u003cbr\u003e Even readers unfamiliar with music will gain some understanding of the lives and music of these masters through this book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “I am still finding my way. \u003cbr\u003eSometimes, like Handel, I want to be in the spotlight and gain fame and money, but there are also times when I want to quietly go my own way like Bach.\u003cbr\u003e I find a strange comfort in the thought that centuries ago, you too must have faced similar struggles.\u003cbr\u003e Although the depth of the music may be different, the heart flows in the same direction.\u003cbr\u003e “I believe that someday I will be able to reach it at my own pace.” (p. 155)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e# Sentences on the keyboard that offer comfort\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Although he is a music major who has just published his first book, his writing skills are extraordinary.\u003cbr\u003e The writing, which is as comfortable as one's own music, has a deep resonance, like a long-used instrument.\u003cbr\u003e As a musician, he ponders his own identity and his perspective on the world and people, which contains insights no less than those of any established writer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “I believe that there are sounds that only old instruments can produce.\u003cbr\u003e There is a resonance that only an instrument that has been shaken countless times by unfamiliar hands can contain. \u003cbr\u003eThere are melodies that can only be understood after experiencing the rolling waves.\u003cbr\u003e Sometimes there are things you have to take a long way to find.\u003cbr\u003e Even if the place you return to is the starting line again, it is no longer the same place as before.\u003cbr\u003e Just as the protagonist in the story grows through his journey and returns to his place, perhaps I too began my journey toward the piano the moment I left it.” (p. 69)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “So there is no need to rush too much.\u003cbr\u003e Just as 'Romanticism' was born from the mixture of Chopin, who wanted to move forward, and Brahms, who wanted to move backward, perhaps romanticism is created in the gap between push and pull.\u003cbr\u003e … (omitted) … So, it’s okay to miss the timing sometimes.\u003cbr\u003e As life always is, we are destined to meet again at a similar pace at some point.” (Main text, p. 136)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e However, this is not an entirely serious article. \u003cbr\u003eThere are wit hidden throughout the book that will make the reader laugh.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “The first time I wrote a song was in 2012.\u003cbr\u003e The first settlement I received from the Copyright Association about 3 months after releasing the album was 390 won.\u003cbr\u003e “It wasn’t even enough to buy a cup of vending machine coffee, but it was enough to break the musician’s will.” (p. 91)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “After a long voyage, when the ship anchored at our destination, the remote area, we carried out an unwelcome landing operation.\u003cbr\u003e After setting up the instruments, turning on the electricity, and starting to play, a male vocalist sang Jang Yoon-jeong's \"Oh My God\" to the accompaniment.\u003cbr\u003e “I really think it was fortunate that no bullets flew.” (p. 106)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The author constantly ponders the issue of 'making a living' and seeks alternatives within the diverse musical landscape.\u003cbr\u003e This is precisely what the subtitle refers to as ‘artistic survival.’\u003cbr\u003e This expression has two meanings at the same time. \u003cbr\u003e'Survival through art', and 'survival itself is art'.\u003cbr\u003e No matter what profession we have, we all have the freedom and right to survive artistically.\u003cbr\u003e The author says:\u003cbr\u003e There are times when I feel lonely and in pain, but what protects me till the end is 'still, music'.\u003cbr\u003e This book will provide hints for artistic survival to those who dream of making a living doing what they love.
