This is impossible, William whispered to himself. But the impossible was happening right in front of him.David's playing got stronger and more confident with each passing minute. His whole body seemed to be connected to the music, swaying gently as his hands created magic on the keyboard.Just then, they heard footsteps coming from the back of the concert hall. Three orchestra members had arrived early for rehearsal: Jennifer, the violin player; Carlos, the cellist; and Michael, the flute player. They had heard the piano music from outside and came in to see who was playing."William?" Jennifer called out as she walked down the aisle. "Who's that at the piano?"William turned around with his finger to his lips, signaling them to be quiet.The three musicians came closer to the stage, and when they heard the music clearly, they stopped walking."Oh my God," Michael breathed.Carlos set down his cello case and just stared at David. "Who is this person?""Just listen," William said quietly.David seemed to sense that more people were in the room, even though his eyes were still closed. Instead of getting nervous, he seemed to get inspired by having an audience. The music became even more complex and beautiful.Jennifer, who had been playing violin for fifteen years, recognized that what David was doing was extraordinary. "William, he's improvising all of this, isn't he? There's no sheet music."William nodded. "Everything you're hearing is coming from his imagination."As if he could hear their conversation, David's playing suddenly changed. He started creating a melody that sounded like it was meant for violin: his left hand played a baseline while his right hand played the main melody, but there was space in the music—space that seemed to be calling for other instruments.Jennifer understood immediately. Without saying anything, she opened her violin case and took out her instrument. She tuned it quickly and quietly, then started playing along with David's melody.
