Second chapter of piano music

2025.08.04. On this Monday, I was so please, To find a piano in a new place. Its location, opening and closing hours; The welcome notes stand erected next to it: "Do you know a tune? Come and play me" Have successfully lured me, It was a Brash and Paling black baby grand piano, So far everything suites me to a tea. I sat down, cleaned the keys and started playing. Strangely, I got nervous for no apparent reasons. I played alright but missed a key every now and then. I felt embarrassed and started to wonder. There was no audience in the foyer, Nor any one I knew of in this building, So what was all these anxious feelings. Over a few day, more and more people filmed me, Especially when I played "The Moon represents my heart" and "The Love Story". I was overwhelmed by their sincere appraisals. I thought hard and then realised, It was the songs I chose, The ways I played them with passion, As remarked by Beethoven "To play a wrong note is insignificant To play without passion is inexcusable". This time, I played and took regular breaks. The tuning was much better than all others. The sound was loud but subtly, It still required tuning but not desperately. Last but not least, the long opening hours, Enable me to come in the early evening, And that helped freeing up My day time to do other things. At the end of the first evening, Some one asked if I would be back next week, So he could hear more of my musics, Well, it was nice to have a date with a music's purpose. In another day, some one offered to help me Gaining access to the piano on Sunday. I was quite overwhelm by the whole situations. This new experience suited me in every sense. From memory, it was one year ago, I warned BB about the Lunar month of the ghost, I planned not to see him just for that month. But he made a decision, terminated our friendship, Without saying goodbye, nor giving any explanation. Well, life moves on and definitely I have moved on. However, if it was not for BB, I would not have played piano. Ironically, he would never heard me playing.
