Her mother had encouraged her to play the piano again but this time try hard not like the last time. Ni kan decided not to take it at first she was very proud of it like it was a shiny trophy. She sent of a tuner one day to tune the piano for sentimental reasons but when she went over to pick up some things at her parents house she began to play the piano again.

Neither the boy nor his siblings wanted to play an instrument or get lessons from their father when he was given the instrument, the boy did not respond very well, “I had my room arranged just so, and the instrument did not fit in with my nautical theme. An anchor, yes. A guitar, no. He wanted me to jam, so I jammed it in my closet, where it remained until he signed me up for a series of private lessons” (Sedaris 3).

Mary shook with a forceful hand on the door. She started screaming for others to come and help her! The raging crowd kept pushing to get in and suddenly everything went in slow motion. She saw the angry protesters banging on the thick glass door and her co-workers frantically calling 911. A gunshot woke her from her daze and in the distance, sirens could be heard. Mary still couldn’t believe that all of this started with a little girl.

“Dont worry about it Naide, she just hit her head, her memories will come back later.’’

She thought to herself, “would it really help me or is this just an excuse for me to practice?” She decided she would give it a shot even if she had little thoughts in her head that told her not too. She sat down on the piano bench and looked at the keys. This was her chance to be creative, she thought to herself. Creative in a new way. She started to try playing one of her songs but that was a bit hard. So she tried more and worked on parts such as measures, lines, and making sure she knew the notes and when to crescendo and decrescendo. She learned what being creative like this could do and she decided that she really liked it. This song that she was playing was “Tale as Old as Time” from Beauty and the Beast because that was her favorite disney movie. She really liked Belle. So here is what she did once she became better at the song is this.

I glance in front of me. I see two people who look familiar. My heart fills with hope. I shout “Mom, Pa!” They turn around and with surprise and smile as I run toward them. “Emily, there you are, we’ve been looking everywhere for you.” My mom’s hazel brown eyes are full of worry. Mao excitedly wags his tail. She grabs me and pulls me into an embrace.

"Annabeth," a commanding voice called out, one of a high authority, so Annabeth looked up from her book to find her mother standing there, a stoic expression on her face.

After his retiring from the public musical life, at the height of his career (his last opera is dated 1829), the Maestro lived enough to see a new fruitful creative period in his old age. From 1857 on, he wrote pieces of chamber music far several instrumental formations and had them performed at Parisian musical soirées. He, however, thought their publication unadvisale as if they were sins of his old age, Péchés de vieillesse. Really they are a collection of "Salonmusik": a quite original one of sublime quality, written with humour and refiniment but full of genuine emotion and wanting in any trace of sentimentalism, too. However the light and ironic relation Rossini had with musical conventions did not preclude him tram facing new expressive forms. Several years later, some characteristics of this art are still present in the miniatures by Erik Satie. Un Mot à Paganini (Elégie), for violin and piano, and Une Larme, Thème et Variations for cello and piano (both compositions are still waiting far their publication) are certainly the gems of this recording. At the beginning of Un Mot à Paganini, a short motive is insistely propounded by piano, as a kind of sigh constantly repeated and developed contrapuntally by figurations of violin, having similar expressive purposes. During the melodic repetitive modulation of piano, there is a moment a harmonic metamorphosis is proposed in: the above mentioned characteristics of an unconventional way of preceeding reveal themselves just
