Vivaldi, The Four Seasons.
It was a piece that anyone would have heard of at least the title.
One of the most famous classical pieces in the world.
Of course, it was also familiar to Jo Sung-hyun.
The piece itself was famous enough to have heard it once or twice.
Jo Sung-hyun did not study classical music professionally, but he knew the basics as a musician.
However, Chae Yoon was hearing the piece for the first time.
And so, the child was shocked as soon as she heard the first note and could not help but open her mouth.
Chae Yoon did not know that there was such a piece in the world.
"Dad...?"
The child turned her head and looked at Jo Sung-hyun with a bewildered voice.
But maybe her voice was too small? Jo Sung-hyun did not hear Chae Yoon's words and still had her eyes on the stage.
Finding that, Chae Yoon also looked at the stage again.
The orchestra's music changed as the baton moved.
Ding dong.
As the pianist's hand moved, a soft yet powerful performance flowed out.
The piano performance that seemed to bounce was perfectly expressing the spring.
Chae Yoon and Jo Sung-hyun.
They both knew what the piano was trying to express.
Things that other people could never know, but they noticed it as soon as they heard it.
'They express the sound of birds like this.'
Jo Sung-hyun thought to himself as he immersed himself in the music.
Vivaldi's The Four Seasons, presented by the pianist and the orchestra, was much richer than Chae Yoon's 'Do you want to play with the fallen leaves?'
No, the expression method itself was different.
How to approach the season.
From which perspective to look at it.
Everything was different.
They never imagined that they would show the sound of birds first to express the season of spring.
It was a familiar piece, so it was good.
Otherwise, he would have been lost in comparing Chae Yoon's piece with his head.
He could see how much more he had to suffer in the future.
He did not know how talented Chae Yoon was musically.
But at least.
'Maybe she can be as good as Vivaldi.'
Of course, it could just be wishful thinking in Jo Sung-hyun's eyes.
But whatever happens, it was not an easy thing to express the four seasons at the age of seven.
Jo Sung-hyun continued to listen to the performance.
Whether it was Vivaldi's piece or Jung Se-yeon's pianist's skill.
Spring was expressed very richly.
The performance continued with the feeling of a stream flowing and the wind passing by.
And even a performance that felt like the sky would darken and a storm would come soon.
After that, a performance that expressed the birds singing again after the storm passed.
They expressed the fickleness that changed quickly well.
Spring, summer, autumn, and winter passed by in turn.
Especially, it was impressive when expressing autumn.
Jo Sung-hyun naturally thought that he would express a rough feeling.
But, rather than that, he expressed autumn with a more peaceful feeling than spring.
A scene where a flock of sheep is quietly on a wide pasture, and a puppy is running around next to it.
The shepherd seemed to be dozing off in the warm sunlight.
At that moment.
Ding ding... dong.
A sense that seemed to be out of place.
Jo Sung-hyun looked closely at Jung Se-yeon's pianist's hand with a ‘huh?’
Something seemed to have gone wrong.
Jo Sung-hyun had a more sensitive ear than others.
It was a very small mistake, but Jo Sung-hyun could notice that Jung Se-yeon's pianist made a mistake.
The peaceful atmosphere shook for a moment, but soon found its place.
Chae Yoon tilted her head from the side.
Did Chae Yoon notice the mistake too?
He could not tell.
* * *
"It's over...."
Chae Yoon said, exhaling a long breath.
The child slumped his body, as if she was tired.
But her eyes were sparkling, and it was a sight that she was too excited musically, even though she was tired from sitting still for a long time.
"Dad."
"Hmm?"
"Chae Yoon likes piano."
She uses honorifics.
With a high probability, she wants to ask for something or is speaking cautiously.
He could understand exactly what the child wanted.
"Then, do you want to come to the concert with dad again later?"
"Chae Yoon likes it!"
He smiled and said in an excited voice.
Jo Sung-hyun smiled.
Fortunately, the concert seemed to have a positive effect on the child.
It was true that seeing is believing.
"Shall we go home now?"
"Yes!"
Chae Yoon nodded and answered.
She must have been tired from sitting still, but the child did not complain at all.
Holding Chae Yoon's hand, Jo Sung-hyun moved his steps outside.
The child kept chattering.
The concert was really impressive.
"Chae Yoon likes violin too."
"Yeah? Do you want to try violin later?"
But she hesitates at that.
"Hmm...later."
Looking at her saying that, it seemed like she only saw piano right now.
Then, Chae Yoon said ah and made a sound.
"Dad, can't you play violin?"
The child asks.
Jo Sung-hyun scratched his cheek at the child's question.
"I can't do it well."
"I want to play with violin. Oh, can't I play with dad?"
The sight of the pianist playing with the orchestra seemed to impress Chae Yoon.
Sung-hyun also imagined that for a moment.
He has a violin on, and Chae Yoon plays the piano keys next to him.
'It might be fun.'
Jo Sung-hyun nodded his head.
"I'll try practicing violin. Later, we can play together."
"Hehe."
Chae Yoon smiled happily.
Jo Sung-hyun stopped walking, and seeing the building's bathroom, he looked back at Chae Yoon and opened his mouth.
"Chae Yoon, do you want to go to the bathroom?"
But the child shook his head.
Instead, he asked another question.
"Dad."
"Yeah, Chae Yoon."
"In autumn earlier. Why did a squirrel pop out when she played the lullaby?"
Hearing that.
Jo Sung-hyun could tell right away.
Chae Yoon also knew that Pianist Jung Se-yeon made a mistake.
She just doesn't know if it was a mistake or not.
'Is she an absolute pitch listener?'
It was amazing that she noticed such a small mistake.
The child just tilted her head.
