direction of a sound before pressing it, combined with the muscles trained over a long period of time, can only infinitely change its properties.\u003cbr\u003e _Among the 'most musical and humane instruments, the piano'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Even among people who think they have absolute pitch, definitive absolute pitch is quite rare.\u003cbr\u003e In my view, absolute pitch is when you can identify a note regardless of whether it is familiar or not, distinguish between harmonics, which are combinations of notes, and when you can imagine the note in your head without hearing it.\u003cbr\u003e _'Absolute Pitch vs. \u003cbr\u003eAmong the 'relative pitch'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I think Schubert is somewhere in the middle between Beethoven and Mozart.\u003cbr\u003e His music is so indescribable that it is impossible to describe it without using the keyword of sadness. Except for a very few songs, all of his works are imbued with a unique sadness._From 'Come, Sweet Sorrow'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The problem is that this encore performance is much more difficult for the performer than expected.\u003cbr\u003e Of course, there is no performer who would not want to respond to an audience cheering for their performance.\u003cbr\u003e But the main performance just ended, the tension was released, emotions were extremely high, and at the same time, the muscles were at their most tired.\u003cbr\u003e This encore time is truly the time when the body, head, and mind all play separately.\u003cbr\u003e _From 'Encore Time, the real concert starts now'\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIf you look at the seventh movement of this man's work, David's Alliance Dances, Op. 6, you will see that 'ritardando' appears a whopping fourteen times over two pages, but 'a tempo' is nowhere to be found.\u003cbr\u003e (Omitted) His other love was children.\u003cbr\u003e It's not a rash guess just because he and his wife Clara have eight children.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Traces of this are engraved in the album for children, Op. 68.\u003cbr\u003e The 'three stars' mark, which he used to put only on his own songs that he had a special affection for, was put only on albums for children.\u003cbr\u003e _From 'Ah Tempo, into that sweet dream I don't want to wake up from\/Robert Schumann'\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIf I were to make those contents into a single 'keyword' from my own perspective... Beethoven would be 'the conquest of freedom', Schubert would be 'hope in despair', Schumann would be 'love', Chopin would be 'longing', Brahms would be 'deficiency', Tchaikovsky would be 'dream', and Shostakovich would be... 'accusation'.\u003cbr\u003e They sublimated each of these keywords into art throughout their lives.\u003cbr\u003e And I would say that the keyword of this composer, Sergei Sergeevich Prokofiev (1891-1953), is 'homing instinct'. _From 'Music of the Homing Instinct\/Sergei Prokofiev'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I have yet to meet a single pianist or violinist who can play Schubert without his hands getting tangled.\u003cbr\u003e The problem with these songs is that the scale is irregular, making it impossible to get used to them, and the harmonic progression is so strange that it's difficult to even remember them in your head. This is a completely different situation for the listener. \u003cbr\u003eHis music, which simply transcribes the rising thoughts into sheet music, cannot possibly sound difficult. _From 'A Man Too Difficult for Us\/Franz Schubert'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Bruch's Concerto No. 1, which captures the live performance, is so vivid from the introduction that it is heartbreaking to the point of burning his artistic spirit to the end.\u003cbr\u003e The vibrato, which has become even thicker than before, seems to squeeze out all the hardships of life that music can portray.\u003cbr\u003e But despite these brilliant performances in his later years, he never blossomed again.\u003cbr\u003e Instead, in 1972, he was found dead at the age of thirty-five.\u003cbr\u003e The cause of death was speculated to be drug intoxication, suicide, concussion, shock, etc., but in the end, the exact cause was never determined.\u003cbr\u003e _From 'My Eternal Prometheus\/Michael Ravin'\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIt's been half a century since winning five or six of the world's most important competitions guaranteed a comfortable life as a professional musician.\u003cbr\u003e Performance agencies are no longer interested in the one out of 300 contest winners, and competition organizers are having an increasingly difficult time persuading such agencies.\u003cbr\u003e _From 'A Society That Risks Its Lives for Concours'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The law in South Korea that prohibits university professors from providing private tutoring is strictly applied to the music field as well.\u003cbr\u003e Unfortunately, this is an issue that is even less realistic in the domestic music industry.\u003cbr\u003e In Korea, where there are no professional musicians who only perform, and where top-level musicians usually teach at universities, this means that, in principle, all music students in Korea cannot access the highest level of education before entering university. \u003cbr\u003eSince early education is a critical area, many young students who fail to overcome it end up going abroad to study. _From 'The Reality of Music Education in Korea'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The fact that I have no family, no friends, no phone, no sheet music, nothing by my side, and yet I have to keep going without stopping.\u003cbr\u003e What makes this fact all the more brutal is that it is so similar to 'living'.\u003cbr\u003e Everyone who is thrown onto the stage of life is alone.\u003cbr\u003e So there's nothing we can do about it.\u003cbr\u003e That was the title of a movie episode of an animation I used to like.\u003cbr\u003e “You are (not) alone.”_From ‘The Pianist is Alone’\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e ___From the

\u003cbr\u003eOh Hye-won, a character in the drama Secret Love Affair, praised pianist Son Yeol-eum as a “performer who can read passion with coolness.”\u003cbr\u003e Although he seems to easily capture the hearts of the audience with his passionate performances, it is probably because he himself does not get carried away by his passion and instead conducts his own performances with intensity until the very end through thorough preparation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Son Yeol-eum, who is called a young master and genius pianist, but is also a 'performer in progress' who wants to remain a consistent performer forever, has published his first music essay, Music Letters from Hanover.\u003cbr\u003e This book is a compilation of articles written over five years as a music columnist, rewritten and reorganized.\u003cbr\u003e Son Yeol-eum's music column has been greatly loved by the general public, including music lovers, for its interpretations that reflect his deep musical expertise and his writing skills that are second to none.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBorn in Wonju, Gangwon Province in 1986, Son Yeol-eum began learning the piano at the age of five and has raised the international status of the Korean piano world by winning second place at the Tchaikovsky Youth Competition at the age of eleven, becoming the youngest first place winner at the Viotti International Competition in Italy in 2002, and winning second place and the Mozart Concerto Special Prize and the Designated Contemporary Piece Special Prize at the Tchaikovsky International Competition in 2011.\u003cbr\u003e Lee Kang-sook, Korea's first musicologist and former president of the Korea National University of Arts, wrote in a congratulatory message, \"I cried when I heard that Soon-guk-san won first place in an international competition,\" and praised him as \"a person who left his mark on the history of Korean piano

classical music. \u003cbr\u003eFirst, it is an easy-to-read yet dense text that can be read by anyone who loves music, not just classical music enthusiasts.\u003cbr\u003e Second, it introduces a way to look at music through the eyes of the performer, including the eyes of the audience.\u003cbr\u003e And finally, the fact that he is honestly and candidly confessing about the secret area that the public has always been curious about, 'the life of a performer'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e First, Chapter 1 begins lightly with the piano, an instrument that is familiar to the public but also holds a great deal of awe, and stories about music that the public has always been curious about. \u003cbr\u003eChapter 2 introduces the lives and anecdotes of classical masters who are familiar to the public but also cherished by pianist Son Yeol-eum, including Robert Schumann, Sergei Prokofiev, Dmitri Shostakovich, Ludwig van Beethoven, Brahms and Schumann, Wolfgang Amadeus Kozart, Franz Schubert, Charles Valentin Alcan, and Sergei Rachmaninoff.\u003cbr\u003e At the same time, it presents various interpretations and stories about their music through the eyes of Son Yeol-eum.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3 is even more interesting because it contains stories about performers that Son Yeol-eum particularly loves.\u003cbr\u003e Michael Levine, his favorite violinist.\u003cbr\u003e Son Yeol-eum introduces him as her 'eternal Prometheus'. \u003cbr\u003eThe author praises him as the only violinist who can portray Tchaikovsky's precious memories of his time with such poignancy and complete abandon of sentimentality, and says that Rabin, with his unique tone and near-mysterious technique, may be either an angel incarnate or a devil incarnate.\u003cbr\u003e Rabin, who died at the age of thirty-five, is said to be like Prometheus, who possessed the 'flame' that kept Son Yeol-eum alive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In addition, it will reveal the charms of pianist Alexis Weissenberg, who has mastered inner acting; Yin Chengzhong, who he considers the first genius pianist in his life; Wang Xiaohan, who possesses an enviable tone; Lee Kang-sook, former president of the Korea National University of Arts, who helped Son Yeol-eum become a Korean pianist; Van Cliburn, who is remembered as an American hero; and Jacob Kasmann, the pianist from Russia itself. \u003cbr\u003eChapter 4, under the theme of 'Music of Our Time', discusses the hardships artists face in a 'marketing-obsessed society' and what a true attitude of love for art is.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It also criticizes the society that risks its life for competitions and the reality of music education in Korea.\u003cbr\u003e
