A Beautiful Pianist Calls !

I haven't had much to write about recently, but last night has changed all that. Due to our annual family fire bonfire, some relations and their friends were visiting. Afterwards we came inside for drinks.. It was then that a dark haired and rather striking stranger suddenly started playing my parents piano.  They had left it behind during the recent move. She started to play a very dark and complex melody, and so competent was she that I thought she must know the piece from heart, after all I had never heard my Mother play this music. Maybe it was from a teen film sound track ? I was more surprised when it turned out that the music was being played from on a sheet, propped on the piano lid. Not a bad attempt at a first play of such a complex melody. It was a surreal moment as the dark music filled the room of visitors. How long had that piece of music sat there waiting for someone of a higher enough calibre to perform it, or let it manifest ? All in all an intoxicating experience judging by the glances around the crowd that were suddenly an its audience
