The selling point of the piano concert was Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor, and many in the audience
had especially attended the concert for precisely that piece. People sighed in disappointment when
they heard that the pianists could not play this piece today. Queen Mavice slowly stood up and
prepared to leave.
“Your Majesty,” Adina said in fluent English, “If you’re not in a hurry, could you kindly spare five minutes
to listen to my daughter play the Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor?” Queen Mavice turned around.
“Your daughter?”
“I can play the Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor,” Melody stood up and said bravely.
“Mr. Albert is my teacher. He said that I understand this piece very well. Your Majesty, I hope you can
give me a chance to play it.” She was dignified and self-assured. She was neither humble nor arrogant.
Everyone was stunned at the child’s confidence.
“Mr. Albert? Is it the Mr. Albert I know?”
“I had long heard that Albert had accepted another student. Could it be this little girl?”
“Although her teacher is a world-renowned pianist, can a little girl like her play the Piano Concerto No.
2 in G minor?”
“This piece is so difficult that even Mr. Albert can barely try to play it. How can such a young girl claim
such nonsense?”
“She wants to please the queen, but the queen will be angrier if she can’t play it well.”
“Anyway, I can spare another five minutes. I’ll just sit and listen.”
“The queen hasn’t left, so I’ll stay for a while, too.”
The people in the concert hall returned to their seats. Queen Mavice glanced at Melody and said
indifferently,“ Go on then.Try playing it.”
Melody took a deep breath. She has had autism since she was a child. Although her condition has
improved , she was still a little afraid to perform in front of so many people.
