The above quote makes an excellent point: words can sometimes be hard to find but music can come to the rescue. Elliot, stuck in a Paris train station on his way from the US to the music conservatory in Bordeaux, would agree – he finds it much easier to express himself via music. And what better way to pass the time than to lose himself in playing the station’s piano? Even though he hasn’t played in years, by far preferring the violin now, it is better than another hour of boredom and listening to the same news over and over again.
Elliot has no trouble losing himself in the music, and I got lost right along with him. But then the piano responds to his melody and Elliot realizes he has a playing partner. The man is a total stranger, but they begin a musical conversation, testing each other’s responses, even battling for supremacy. All the while not a word has been spoken, but I was fascinated. Their musical conversation is just like magic – and so is the ending of this story.
If you like short stories that are full of surprises, if music is your thing and you believe it’s possible to use it to “talk” to someone, and if you’re looking for a sweet read that is as enchanting as it is brief, then you will probably like this short story.
