Her second piece was a Mozart sonata that Mrs. Chun had taught her. It was faster and more technical than the Chopin piece. Her fingers danced across the keys with precision and grace; the melody was bright and cheerful, like sunshine after a storm.Dr. Martinez wrote more notes. "Excellent technique," he said. "And your third piece?"For her final piece, Sophia had chosen a Bach prelude. It was the most difficult piece she knew, with complex rhythms and intricate hand coordination. She had practiced it hundreds of times, but it still challenged her every time she played it.As she played, Dr. Martinez leaned forward in his chair. This piece really showed off her technical skills: her left hand played a steady baseline while her right hand wove a beautiful melody above it. The two hands worked together like they were having a conversation.When she finished, the room was completely quiet. Dr. Martinez was writing more notes, and his face was serious. Sophia couldn't tell if he was impressed or disappointed.Finally, Dr. Martinez put down his pen and looked at her. "Sophia, how long did it take you to learn that Bach piece?""About two months, sir.""Two months?" He looked surprised. "That piece usually takes my university students six months to master."He stood up and walked over to the piano. "May I?" he asked, gesturing to the bench.Sophia moved over, and Dr. Martinez sat down next to her."I want to test something," he said. "I'm going to play a melody, and I want you to play it back to me."He played a short, complex melody that Sophia had never heard before. When he finished, she played it back perfectly, note for note."Remarkable," he said. "Let's try something harder."This time, he played a longer piece with both hands. It was more complicated, with harmony and rhythm changes. Sophia listened carefully, then played it back with only two small mistakes."Incredible," Dr. Martinez said. He turned to Mr. Wellington and Maria. "In twenty-five years of teaching, I have only met three students with this level of natural ability."Sophia felt her heart pounding. Was that good or bad?
