[TN: Small ray of hope]

When Amelia completed the concerts at the 2 universities and left for Philadelphia, Jun Hyuk spent the last week of the year alone in his hotel room The Boston Philharmonic was all for Patrick Quinn because of the special end of year concert including Christ of neays to bring out results from rehearsals He spent all of his time in front of his piano and did not even make it to the end of year party

At the first rehearsal of the year, Jun Hyuk discussed his new et the score was hard, right? You want a perfect perforh time So we’ll have to try out a different method”

“Is that method the piano?”

The concerte until now

“Yes Starting today, I’ to play Inferno on the piano 3 times every day”

“Maestro That’s…”

The concertmaster and the other members wore looks of shock They have not been able to play even half of the 1st part But the whole song? And 3 times in repetition? That is iht Don’t worry”

Jun Hyuk calmed the orchestra down

“You all just need to look at the score well Focus only on the score since conducting is unnecessary Since finishing is the goal, please just pass over it even if there is a h Jun Hyuk told thest theht Everyone quiet down and do as the Maestro says I think he’ll be showing us ain today”

Concertmaster Matthew Price calmed the orchestra down and spoke to Jun Hyuk,

“Maestro Can we use a , I think we’ll need the ood idea I’m sure everyone has a metronome app on their phones”

The ain and et ready Jun Hyuk sat in front of the piano

“Alright Shall we start?”

With Jun Hyuk’s signal, everyone started playing with the first note Starting at the 2nd measure, Jun Hyuk caain They are sure that they are looking at the sa out As the piano increased, the orchestra’s sound just became an accompaniment for the piano Inferno’s terrible melody disappeared and an entirely different piano concerto rang out through the theater

The orchestra did not lose track of the score or go off beat Instead, there was even a member who al was changed completely with just the addition of a piano melody

The uncomfortable sound of Inferno disappeared from the members’ minds and they only heard the piano melody Jun Hyuk did not look once at the orchestra, did not take his eyes off of the piano keys, and focused only on playing

The 1st part was over within moments Jun Hyuk did not rest and put his hand up to alert thenal, the orchestra went into the 2nd part They understood the h all of the parts without stopping

After 40 minutes of a coh No one spoke

However, there was no time to enjoy the aftertaste of the piano nal with his hand to repeat the 1st part

Since the orchestra was used to the piano ive a ic of the maestro in front of the piano was not over It was not the same piano melody

If the first piano was like a sad sob, the melody now is solemn and reminiscent of Bach’s Cantus The 3 performances Jun Hyuk mentioned were of different melodies

After the 3 perforreater than their physical They had perfor about what melody would be up next, so they were exhausted

Jun Hyuk’s state was not sound either From the way he wiped the sweat off of his forehead as he stood up from the piano, they could tell that he had performed with much difficulty

For a moment, neither the orchestra nor Jun Hyuk could say a word Tara had been watching froet up even though she needs to gog give Jun Hyuk a towel to wipe his sweat

“Alright I think wewith this kind ofAll of the orchestraIt was not passionate like that of an audience, but there was sincerity in their clapping

Their clapping is not in regards to the piano melody or the disappearance of the terrible sound of Inferno It is a tribute to Jun Hyuk’s endless talent and his helping the like this Stop and sit down I haven’t finished talking”

The orchestra members saw Jun Hyuk’s embarrassed expression and sat down to listen

“I think mythe albue has a tith the piano But the result is not that it is a piano song, but that an entirely different song was born As Jun Hyuk said, they are not forgetting the original song but re a new piano concerto

They can listen to the pianosound engineer will take care of balancing the variance of the sounds the orchestra h their instruments and the piano melody

“From nohen you practice alone, listen to the piano s that you heard today, today and to to our next rehearsal”

“Maestro What do you s today are perfect We didn’t think of the original song at all and felt like ere playing an entirely different song”

The 3 songs were all perfect piano concertos that did not need anything else There are a lot of shortcoreat works, but they have done et the original song

Concertht be Jun Hyuk’s ambition as a cos that I prepared today were just tests”

“Tests?”

“Yes They were tests to see how your perfor to the tith the piano If we take out the piano in today’s performances, they are just of Inferno This is alsoBut none of them were the Inferno that I want”

The skill to listen to a piano concerto while taking out the piano part It is ier surprised

“What is the Inferno that you want?”

“I can’t express it exactly, but I want to leave a slight room”

“Room? What does that mean?”

“If the 1st part of Inferno that the Berlin Philhar to plant a very sht in there”

None of the orchestra members had heard Berlin Philharmonic’s performance But they could understand what Jun Hyuk meant They had experienced the darkness that Jun Hyuk spoke of with their bodies while practicing the song

With today’s experiained a lot of confidence He felt like he could achieve his goal before the end of the season

“We’ll record the albuure out the recording schedule I’ the nuht not be enough tiular concerts… but can we rehearse for a few hours over the weekend?”

Jun Hyuk brought it up cautiously and examined the members’ faces Their reactions showed that he need not worry The concerte is a joy

The next day when Patrick Quinn heard about the day’s events froreatto tomorrow’s rehearsal I don’t think I can miss out on that no matter what”

“Maestro Maestro Jun askedto rehearsals”

“What? Is it off limits for me?”

Patrick Quinn frowned

“That’s basically what it e as well”
