Hanna Chang Last Rehearsal🎻 [Krazy Rich Korean Ep3-4] | KBS WORLD TV 260505

0:00 (A very long day ahead) (The concertmaster focuses everyone before 10 A.M.)

0:07 (Five seconds before the run-through) (Maestra

0:16 Chang appears) (The tension feels even stronger

0:20 than yesterday) (The air instantly turns

0:24 cold) (After greeting the concertmaster) (Someone

0:31 approaches) (Carefully adjusting the music stand

0:36 height)- Do they do everything for you?

0:38 Yes.

0:39 Those are the stage managers.

0:40 (All eyes on her) It's like the concert, so I stand.

0:46 I conduct standing too.

0:48 Not sitting.

0:48 Since it's the real thing.

0:49 Like the real show.

0:51 Right, just like it.

0:54 (But then...) (Someone catches Maestra Chang's eye) He's new.

1:00 Why suddenly?

1:01 New for the run-through.

1:01 Why all of a sudden?

1:02 Someone got sick.

1:05 An injury, basically.

1:07 (The day before the run-through) The first trombonist suddenly became ill.

1:12 (Sudden news) So, suddenly...

1:16 His first day is the final rehearsal.

1:18 Yes.

1:18 Yes, first day, last rehearsal.

1:20 Can someone change just one day before?

1:22 If it's really bad, do you have to replace them?

1:24 It's the last thing we wanted.

1:26 It rarely happens.

1:28 Right.

1:28 But we're all human.

1:30 If someone gets sick, we have no choice.

1:33 In sports, since it's a team game,- in case of injuries,/- Right.

1:39 they have players on the bench.

1:42 Substitutes.

1:42 Orchestras have lists of them too.

1:45 Lists of players approved in advance.

1:48 So from that list...

1:49 A substitute came in.

1:51 It was hard to get him.

1:53 So suddenly.

1:54 Yes, because it's a key, hard part.

1:56 You can't just call anyone.

1:57 They must've been really sick.

1:59 (Will the final rehearsal go smoothly?) (Deep breath) (Everyone

2:07 steadies their breath and gets ready) The first movement is...

2:14 There is no opening like this in symphonic history.

2:18 With this many musicians in the orchestra, one person begins.

2:22 A solo trumpet opens this huge symphony.

2:26 That solo is extremely important.

2:29 Solo trumpet.

2:30 Goodness.

2:30 He starts alone, and everyone is silent.

2:32 He's kind of like a movie star.

2:34 Yes, right?

2:35 Like a movie star.

2:36 We're thinking the same thing.

2:37 Everyone's thinking the same thing.

2:39 Except me.

2:41 Same thought.

2:44 (Hmm) (Following the baton) (The playing begins

2:49 right on cue) (Maestra Chang suddenly smiles) Why?

2:53 Was something out of tune?

2:56 (Is there an issue with the trumpet?) (As a run-through,

3:02 they keep going for now) That was good.

3:08 (Very well done) You're amazing.

3:12 (First Movement- Funeral March) (Sorrow and anger

3:21 cross over each other) (The mood evokes

3:25 a funeral procession) (The second movement carries

3:29 the dark energy) As the first movement ends,

3:34 Mahler connects it straight into the second movement.

3:37 It begins with the cellos and basses.

3:42 A fiercely intense second movement.

3:44 (Total focus) (Second Movement- A Violent

3:53 Storm) (The conducting grows more intense) When

4:03 it comes to stormy music like this, no composer writes it better than Mahler.

4:08 He had so much turmoil inside.

4:11 Personally?

4:12 Yes.

4:16 (The harp appears in the fourth movement)

4:19 (Delicate) This fourth movement is truly important.

4:26 (Fourth Movement- A Declaration of Love) Here,

4:28 he meets his future wife and marries her in just three months.

4:33 In the fourth, Mahler is finally married.

4:38 He writes it now for Alma, his new bride.

4:42 (Mahler's love letter to his wife) (Mahler "Symphony No.

4:45 5," Fourth Movement, "Adagietto") But this isn't like,

4:48 "Our perfect love is forever." There's so much pain in it.

4:53 It feels like it could break so easily.

4:54 Their life ahead may not be smooth at all.

5:00 It may sound like such a simple phrase, but it isn't simple in the slightest.

5:08 That's what feels like art.

5:10 It's not simple at all.

5:13 "Adagietto" is a love song for his new bride.

5:17 If you only hear this, it sounds happy.

5:23 This.

5:25 There's a hint of worry.

5:27 Something aches.

5:28 (A part she gets swept into while explaining) It hurts.

5:32 (Famous from "Death in Venice" and "Decision to Leave") Was this the song?

5:38 Do you know it?

5:39 I saw "Decision to Leave."/- It sounds familiar.

5:41 I'm Mala Tang Wei.

5:43 What?

5:45 You're Mala Tang Wei?

5:46 Yes.

5:47 I'm Mala Tang Wei.

5:49 Mala-tang?

5:49 I'm Boring Park Haeil.

5:52 I've seen it a lot.

5:55 (A masterpiece of Mahler's love and solitude) (For many,

6:05 Mahler's finest lyrical moment) (How does Maestra Chang express

6:19 love?) (After the aching fourth movement ends)- That smile...

6:32 My eyes are smiling.

6:33 I don't know what that smile means.

6:35 "You'll do well." How can you not know what it means?

6:38 Like, "I trust you."/- Yes.

6:41 (Fifth Movement- A Lively Finale) (Passion)

6:49 (Overflowing) The ending is really passionate too.

6:59 Yes, the piece ends with a happy ending.

7:02 A happy ending?

7:03 Yes.

7:08 (It ends with a powerful impression) (The long 80-minute

7:14 run-through) (The players are worn out from the marathon)- Headache.

7:21 It must be exhausting.

7:22 Especially for the wind players, their mouths and their lips too...

7:27 They have to keep blowing like that.

7:28 Right.

7:29 That must be so hard.

7:40 (Solo trumpet player) (She seems happy with the playing)

7:43 (The praise flows out) (Solo trombone player) Slowly.

8:03 (Input complete) You're saying all that from memory, no notes.

8:08 Yes.

8:08 Right.

8:08 While conducting at the same time...

8:09 How does she...

8:11 That's what amazes me about conductors.

8:12 There are so many people, right?

8:14 To us, it all blends into one sound.

8:17 But they hear, "Why is the trombone like that?" Or, "Why is

8:20 the sound so weak here?" I heard they hear it all separately.

8:24 Of course.

8:25 You have to, to know.

8:27 That's so amazing.

8:28 Amazing.

8:29 It's my job.

8:30 (Now, the second violins) Could we keep the octaves the same?

8:56 (Listening back to that feedback section) (Once more) I can't really tell.

9:10 Don't you hear that?

9:11 If we did, we'd be conductors.

9:14 What are we supposed to hear?

9:16 The low notes are too weak.

9:18 What should be audible isn't heard?

9:20 Exactly.

9:21 Because the low notes of a harp are too low, they naturally don't carry as much.

9:25 You have to account for that with the sound.

9:26 And play a little stronger?

9:27 Yes.

9:28 So she has to play stronger.

9:28 (After 80 minutes, Maestra Chang recalls every detail) As a conductor,

9:31 my goal is for the orchestra to shine.

9:34 When this many people play one part,

9:38 they must play the same notes at the same time.

9:41 To do that, their sound has to become one.

9:43 Expressing that unified feeling, in that moment, every single moment.

9:49 That is the conductor's role.
