La Guerrera del tiempo by Starsea

el tono dulce

Theme: Brilliance

Brilliance: 3. Music. Sharpness and clarity of tone.

The concert hall was old, perhaps built in the middle of the last century; it seemed small, but inside it was vast, with every room designed to achieve acoustic perfection. Of course, perfection was rarely reached, but it had to be said that these rooms came close to achieving it.

Unfortunately, nothing else was perfect at the moment. The violas were out of tune, the flutes kept going too fast and as for the violins...

The conductor rapped the lectern with his baton. "It says 'allegro'! Not 'pronto' or 'vivace', 'allegro'! Lively but not too lively! Sparkling! Bright! I want brilliance, do you understand?!" He raised his baton once more and brought it down. The music leapt into the air, singing, almost fizzing with light. Above it all rose the violins, one in particular, soaring with joy and pride, every note etched into the air like silver.

Setsuna closed her eyes and smiled. Michiru was half an hour late for their lunch, but when she could listen to this, who cared?

Title: The sweet tone

DISCLAIMER: Both Michiru and Setsuna belong to Naoko Takeuchi.
