“A Little Boy At A Big Pianoâ€
Author Unknown
Wishing to encourage her young son's progress on the piano,
a mother took her boy to a Paderewski concert. After they
were seated, the mother spotted a friend in the audience and
walked down the aisle to greet her.
Seizing the opportunity to explore the wonders of the concert
hall, the little boy rose and eventually explored his way
through a door marked 'NO ADMITTANCE.' When the house lights
dimmed and the concert was about to begin, the mother
returned to her seat and discovered that the child was
missing.
Suddenly, the curtains parted and spotlights focused on
the impressive Steinway on stage. In horror, the mother saw
her little boy sitting at the keyboard, innocently picking
out 'Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.'
At that moment, the great piano master made his entrance,
quickly moved to the piano, and whispered in the boy's ear,
'Don't quit. Keep playing.'
Then leaning over, Paderewski reached down with his left
hand and began filling in a bass part. Soon his right arm
reached around to the other side of the child and he added a
running obbligato. Together, the old master and the young
novice transformed a frightening situation into a
wonderfully creative experience. The audience was mesmerized.
That's the way it is in life. What we can accomplish on our
own is hardly noteworthy. We try our best, but the results
aren't exactly graceful flowing music. But when we trust in
the hands of a Greater Power, our life's work truly can be
beautiful.
Next time you set out to accomplish great feats, listen
carefully. You can hear the voice of the Master, whispering
in your ear, 'Don't quit. Keep playing.'
Keep on rolling and dont stop until we reach Germany!
