I know nothing about music but on the other hand I enjoy art very much. Ch 81 and 82’s imagery using Monet pieces is simply beautiful
Naeun never had a scar from the professor unlike Garam, now that we know the professor’s students all have the exact same scar (the one under their eye presumably from the professor throwing the music sheets resulting in a paper cut?) does that symbolizes that the professor never once acknowledged her as his student? idk just something I noticed
I think its kinda like Heejae branding his students, like his marking those who are going to be his chosen ones. In ch 3 other than naeun, the other 3 students don't have the mark like garam and he's only been there for a short period of time. Naeuns probably also wasn't chosen since shes talented but not unique like garam. She doesn't have that thing that heejae is looking for, to the point that she has to copy garam's sound. Butttt it also could be because shes a nepo baby and the niece from the woman heejae works for, so he can't really harm her or he might get punished for it.
I think it’s a mixture of both! The fact that she’s nepo baby and that she isn’t exactly what he’s looking for. Also amazing points stated, you explained it better than I have! Amazing analysis!! Gosh I love the symbolisms and the storytelling of this story so so much
Hehe yeah the writing of this is so peak, so much symbolism like woah
I think what Kim Heejae is looking for in terms of music is something embodies calm flowing waters? From what I’ve gathered from Garam’s playing of jeux d’eau was that it embodies water lilies from Monet (paintings from his water lily series are always surrounded by vast amounts of water) and the meaning of jeux d’eau from what I gathered online literally means “playing water” and with all this in mind I search the Chopin piece that Heejae plays in ch 82 (Chopin Ballade No 4. Op 52) was that it was said that it had harmonic flow which brings us back to the time Heejae mentioned Legato and that Garam has that specific skill. I think he’s looking for something that is soothing with calming flow much like flowing waters? Correct me if I’m wrong with anything (I have no knowledge or insight on music) or I’m looking too much into it haha and please do add your analysis of all of this.
