And now the final part of...
The Piano Teacher -- Part Five
"That is correct. Now let's play it again..." The nimble fingers of Sarah Hart glided over the ivories perfectly.
"Sarah, that was excellent." Frances praised her 10-year old student. David and Angela sat quietly in the back of the room watching.
David whispered. "Looks like this one will be spared the Mozart whack." Angela agreed with a nod.
"That will be all for today. Keep practicing the pieces that I gave you and I will see you next week." Sarah gave Frances a hug and said goodbye. Frances was bright and happy.
"Frances," called Angela. She and David walked over to her.
"Good morning, Angela. And you are... Oh wait, you're David. I meet you the other day."
"It's good to see you again, Ms. Fitzherld."
"Please call me Frances." David was surprised at the completely different composure from their previous meeting.
"David wants to talk with you about your music. He wants to record your playing and make it available to everyone."
Frances' eyes lite up with delight. "Oh... that would be wonderful. Will you be using Edison cylinders? We have one at home."
"Well, no, we'll use something like a gramophone to record them."
"Oh... whatever. I'm just excited about my music being enjoyed."
David and Angela both thanked her and left just as her next student, Johnny Watkins entered the room.
"As you can see, she is very different today," said Angela.
"Yes, I noticed that. Well, I will be back in a few weeks with my recording devices and we begin."
David shook Angela's hand and they parted company.
