The Maestro And His Deaf Child

Quote: Bring forth the music dear lover of soul, she's waiting for a drop A Conducter's baton fills the air with caresses of passion and zest as a black patent leather shoe taps gently on a varathane wood plank it sends a sensory cortex vibration to a deaf infant child, pure elation. With a suave wave of his delicate hand the conductor brings the music to a regal Orchestra who is finely attuned to a child's ears like fine sand. Waltzelettos to the heart, the child doesn't hear not does she cry when a salt and pepper haired man raises his tuxedo sleeves in the air, the heart pumps blood and resurrects her once more. Staccato notes each detached and separated from the other, the newborn listens, lost in a paradise of movement and sound. Infinite notes from a seasoned Maestro, head is sewn to the carpet next to a transistor radio, the toddler remembers louder days He was a German Maestro/composer and his name was Carlos Kleiber, today he sleeps in a quiet memorial room, in beautiful Slovania.

It made me think of the book “All The Light We Cannot See” this could be “All The Sounds We Cannot Hear”.

Never heard of him but I'm sure he was good. Lovely write Rosey. Music is a pad to our consciousness, it help us hibernate.
