The recital was advertised as the Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor, and many of the people in the audience had come by name.
There was a sigh of disappointment as the piece could no longer be played today.
Queen Mavis slowly stood up straight and prepared to leave the stage.
“Your Majesty.” Ye Yunla spoke in fluent English, “If you are not in a hurry, could you spare five minutes to listen to my daughter play the Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor?”
Mavis turned her head, “Your daughter?”
“I can play the Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor.” Little Yum Yum stood up and said bravely and nicely, “Maestro Albert is my teacher and he says I have a great understanding of this piece and I hope Her Majesty will give me a chance to play it.”
She fell to her feet and spoke without condescension.
At the words, everyone in the room was stunned.
“Maestro Albert, is that the Albert I know?”
“I heard a long time ago that Albert had taken on another student, could it be this little girl?”
“Although his teacher is a world-renowned pianist, can she, a little girl, really play the Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor?”
“This piece is so difficult that even Maestro Albert could only barely give it a try, and a toothsome little girl dares to spout off.”
“Just to please the Queen, I suppose, but she’ll only be more angry if she messes it up.”
“I don’t need five minutes anyway, so there’s no harm in sitting down and listening.”
“The Queen’s still here, so I’ll stop for a bit longer ……”
The people in the recital hall returned to their seats with a variety of thoughts in mind.
Queen Mavis glanced at Little Voice and her voice was faint, “Then you go and try.”
Little Yum Yum took a deep, nervous breath.
She had been autistic since she was a child, and although she was better now, she was still a little afraid to perform in front of so many people.
“Sister, I’ll accompany you on stage.”
Ye Jingzhan took her hand and walked towards the stage.
Fu Zi Ling paused and followed suit, “Sister Yinyin, I will also accompany you, don’t be afraid.”
Fu Ziyan followed quietly, and together with Ye Jingzhan and Fu Ziling, they watched over Little Yinyin.
Little Yinyin sat on a high chair, her back straight, her little face full of seriousness, as soon as her model came up, everyone on the stage fell silent.
Ye Yunla sat in her seat, her gaze gentle as she looked at the four children on stage.
Little Yinyin was timid, having studied piano for so long, she had never played in front of so many people, but for the sake of Daddy, she was willing to go up.
It was a great courage, a strength given by love.
The piano piece played slowly.
The original Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor was a magnum opus to vent inner fear and anger, and it was only after it was changed by a good pianist that it became one of the world’s top most difficult piano pieces.
Little Tone’s fingers were too short to reach the technical pinnacle, but her grasp of emotion resonated with everyone in the room.
Ye Jingzhan, standing just beside her, clearly felt the fear emanating from within his sister, which turned into notes that reached his ears.
