my cousin is a professional pianist so we went to see her play tonight. it's been years since i've been able to attend one of her concerts and was a first for my husband. he couldn't get over how quickly her fingers moved over the keys as the church's acoustics echoed mozart and beethoven, spilling into the street.
during intermission, a man approached my cousin to express how much he enjoyed her performance and how impressed he was with her playing 45 minutes by memory. my cousin was humble in her response (just as i knew she would be), but i couldn't help feeling a flutter of pride. i started playing piano at the age of 5, but i certainly don't play like that. and this is my cousin, awing an audience with the touch of her fingertips, pouring her heart out through a melody, evoking emotion by the sound of familiar notes.
My dear cousin! This is the sweetest thing ever! Thank you both SO much for coming. It meant a lot to me. I'm so happy I could share something with you!
