God of Music Chapter 73

Chapter 73

G.o.d of Music Chapter 73 . 3 Years Already (2)

Friday, 27th March .

Sejin Art Center .

People dressed in formal clothing were walking up the stairs . They handed their tickets to the staff and walked to their designated seats .

“A solo piano recital from Gye HyoMin . How long has this been, professor?”

“I guess it’s been 3 years? It’s nice to see her like this . Haha . ”

That was the conversation between a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman . Not only them, there were many others who were expecting a lot from Gye HyoMin’s piano recital . This was a solo piano recital after 3 years without news from her .

Everyone was filled with expectation as they sat down on their designated seats .

– Attention, please . In a moment, the Solo Recital by the Pianist Gye HyoMin will commence . Audiences should… .

The relatively noisy audience became quiet when the announcement began . The audience seats were full . When the venue became quiet, the lights darkened and the curtains on the stage rose . The spotlight turned on and Gye HyoMin slowly walked out from the side of the stage .

The audience all met Gye HyoMin with loud applause . She, wearing an ample dress, s.h.i.+ned more under the light . The applause filling the venue showed the expectation they had for her .

Sitting on the piano, Gye HyoMin lightly stretched her fingers and started her first song, ‘Chopin’s Sonata 2’ . The audience closed their eyes to tune into the melody . The crisp playing of the melody tickled all of their ears .

‘Beautiful . ’

Behind the stage, KangYoon was admiring the light from the notes . The grey light that had nagged him throughout the practice was nowhere to be seen . The usage of the pedal at the right times made the notes ring out more, and the nimble hand movements created a marvelous melody . The reaction from the audience became stronger as the light became more intense as well .

One, two, three pieces .

As the pieces progressed, the applaud from the audiences became louder . The light that shone in KangYoon’s eyes also became brighter .

‘Good . ’

There was nothing wrong with the piano, and there weren’t any problematic occurrences either . As the recital progressed, the everyone was drenched in her piano .

Like that, the first section ended . Gye HyoMin exited the stage amidst a loud applause . KangYoon quietly headed to the waiting room behind the stage .

“Well done . How are you doing?”

She smiled at KangYoon’s question as though there was no problem .

“Perfect . I’m in my top condition . ”

“There won’t be any problems at this rate . Let’s keep it like this until the end . ”

“Yes . ”

KangYoon left the waiting room after that . He was worried that his presence may disrupt her focus and held back on his words . With delicate people, watching silently from the back worked better than words of encouragement .

The interval finished and the 2nd section started .

The 2nd section started with ‘La Campanella’ and drowned the audience quicker than the 1st section did . Gye HyoMin played very pa.s.sionately with her whole body and that affected the audience as well . Everyone fell deep into the piano .

And eventually, the final song was left .

Chopin’s Barcarole – the piece that left Gye HyoMin in despair several times .

‘Phew . ’

She took a deep breath . She even fixed her posture again and resolved inwardly to do better . She stretched her hand once more as well . People held their breaths after seeing her act that way . The venue was filled with the sound of breaths .

KangYoon also changed his position from the back of the stage to the front . This was the most important piece . He stood in a place where he could see Gye HyoMin easily just in case something happened .

Gye HyoMin put her hands on the piano as she exhaled .

‘Hands, hands . ’

Gye HyoMin stretched her hands multiple times . She kept reminding herself of the footage that she went through with KangYoon . The most important thing was the posture! – she kept suggesting herself with that .
