Hands

A few days ago, when Hive account@mdrguez showed us this very nice collection of artisanal musical instruments, I almost couldn't believe my eyes! One of the instruments looked so familiar, almost the same as the saxophonist who has been living in my classroom already for years. He was there before I arrived at this place. How did he get here...? I am not sure. And what is he doing at all in a piano classroom? I can only try to figure out the latter, and if you started reading this post, you have the same chances as I to get to know his story.

This is how this saxophonist should look, just without me holding his head... 😅

However, the reality is that it broke and it lies in parts:

I actually didn't even notice when his condition got so bad. It has been so many years since he's been playing his music in the window, watching the rain, the sun and the sunsets every afternoon. That scene is sometimes impressive, the sky turns red and purple, and through this window, I can see that colourful play too. These musical afternoons lasted until the unfortunate moment when he lost his head!

Now the real question is whether this thing of losing his head has a connection with the topic of being headless. Maybe he also wanted to be a headless influencer but my bet goes to a different coloured pocket.

I guess he couldn't stand being here anymore, far from the ocean he had probably crossed once, a long time ago. Maybe he needed a different rhythm; the one he used to play with his craft orchestra and other instruments. I teach piano, not saxophone. Excuse me, but how could I help you?

Silence... No answer from this wooden figurine; he pretended to be asleep on the piano keys.

So what could I do? Maybe involve him in a challenge It can't be true, and make him play the piano instead of the saxophone? With these little wooden hands, it would be almost impossible.
Well, no mission impossible stays impossible in Hive. 😂

I carefully placed them on the piano anyway... and a huge musical surprise filled the silence of the classroom!

Chopin

Really?

You are a real talent or some magic happened here to be able to play this study op. 25, No. 12 in C Minor, also called Ocean, by Frédéric Chopin after just placing your hands on the piano. But here we have the proof:

Your little hands came to life.

Just by touching them
I awakened their soul; do you hear that sound?

Waves and foam
of the ocean that you love so much.
