The power of the piano

Because Li Xiansen is on a business trip, in order to kill time at night (mainly because Li Xiansen won't let me go out for a long time), I can only prepare lessons in a bookish bookstore …

Coincidentally, I recently wanted to pick up the piano and happened to see a book, The Weight of the Piano. I was attracted by the words on the cover, the slogan of a piano spanning 50 years, so I ordered a cup of coffee and read …

At first, I was a little confused, interspersed with two protagonists, Katja and Clara, two main lines, two stories and two lives. I didn't see any intersection, and even looked a little tired …

The only intersection comes from the heavy Borenz piano. But soon, as I thought, there was a story behind this piano. In the long years, it has witnessed the lives of different owners.

This book mainly tells the story of two women, Katja and Clara. Behind the weight of the piano is a heavy life story.

I was quickly attracted by these stories. After reading this book in one breath, I began to think about the background behind it. From Leningrad's escape, discrimination against Jewish races, from Austria and Italy to the United States and the United States, Katja took her piano ups and downs, entered marriage and met love, and finally chose double suicide ...

Behind this, in addition to her own story, there are cultural conflicts and blood relations that she can't give up.

Clara, a girl who had nothing to do with Katja, died in a fire because her father was Katja's lover, and then her parents argued for divorce, leaving her only this piano …

This piano is more important to Clara. Unlike Katja, who regards this piano as life and music as life, this heavy piano is a heavy burden for Clara, who can hardly play the piano, but it is the only gift left by her father. She often wants to give up but can't push it away. Just like this damn fate, she is afraid of losing but can't escape or convince herself.

Her fate is too similar to Grisha's. Grisha, of course, is Katja's son. He didn't expect to find this piano by chance. He also loves this piano feebly and heavily. Finally, they pushed it off the cliff, and the piano became a pile of scattered skeletons …

The weight of the piano itself is real, and it also carries the heavy feelings and sustenance of three people for decades. At the moment when you are pushed off the cliff, where will you go, and your love and hate will gradually dissipate. Fortunately, Clara and Grisha did not continue the tragedy of the previous generation, but chose to let go of the past and embrace a new future.

People will experience many gains and losses in their life, some of which are insignificant, while others are hard for us to let go. In the face of loss, all we can do is accept and let go. May we all have the ability and courage to let go …

As the book says, "Realizing what you don't want is the beginning of knowing what you want."

Besides, why did I choose this book to practice the piano recently? Because there was a concert in Dalian City Concert Hall, our studio undertook flower arrangement. In order to have a good relationship with the organizer, it's really hard training … I can't help but think of my mother being beaten when I was a child … I cried … She beat again … I cried again …

But now that I think about it, I really appreciate my mother. Although I didn't become a pianist … but the foundation I laid when I was a child … I can practice composing music several times now.

At that time, as long as I wanted to study, even if there was no extra money at home, my parents let me study. She always said, "I didn't expect to be an artist or anything, but I grew up bored and cultivated my sentiment."

But now that I think about it, because my mother grew up, that good word was favored by leaders at work …

Because there are still some music painting cells, when I started my business in the studio, I can get the recognition of high-end customers of BMW Benz …

Because my father took me riding and archery since I was a child, I can be independent even if I live abroad …

I remember when I got married, I said, I don't think I can treat my daughter as well as my parents … because it's really great …

Finally, in order to get to the point, although I don't have the tragic childhood experience of the protagonist, I am glad that my parents gave me the correct guidance, let me know what kind of life I want and what I should do … just like a lighthouse, it illuminates my world …
