“Sensei, I don’t understand this melody. If you play something quickly, how can it be sad?” Braids sway as dreamy girl tilts her head, eyes narrowing slightly at thhe plethora of black marks on white paper. She’s read it correctly, it says that it’s to be played in a somber fashion. Lithe hands move over ivory keys, attempting to play a few bars in the manner discribed before quickly drawing back. “Ah- it’s just too fast to sound sad. Can’t we slow it down?”
