MUSIC. Son N (11) played a Norton's Rhapsody at a piano contest - his first - hold at Andoain (by San Sebastian) with children from all around the Basque Country. I could revive my time as a piano student in Bilbao, the mix atmosphere of children and piano sounds. N got a silver medal, blaming on a mistake not to get gold, but ready back home to start preparing for next years contest, dreaming for a enrapturing piece. My mother would have loved to be there.
Mi hijo N (11) tocó una Rapsodia de Norton en un concurso de piano - su primero - en Andoain, junto a San Sebastian, con niños que venían de todo el País Vasco. Reviví mis tiempos de estudiante de piano en Bilbao, la atmósfera mezcalda de sonidos de niños y piano. Le dieron una medalla de plata, enrabietado de que no le dieran oro por un error, pero listo de vuelta a casa a preparar el concurso del año que viene, y sueños de una pieza cautivadora. Mi madre hubiera sido feliz de estar allí.
Such a long time since we have connected but how lovely to return and hear your son playing the piano. Delightful and how proud you must have been to see him awarded the silver medal.
It is so good to see young people playing music, something which one hopes will stay with them throughout the whole of their lives.
