This caused a stir in the audience. Creating brand-new music on the spot was almost unheard of in classical concerts. Some people looked excited; others looked nervous.David closed his eyes again and began with a single, haunting note. He held it for a long moment, then added another note, then another. Slowly, a melody began to emerge.Carlos, the cellist, was the first to join in. He found a baseline that supported David's melody perfectly. Then Jennifer added violin harmonies. One by one, the entire orchestra joined the musical conversation.What happened next was pure magic. Forty musicians, led by David's piano, created a symphony that had never been played before and would never be played exactly the same way again. The music swelled and danced, telling stories without words.David seemed to be in a trance, his whole body moving with the music. But even in his trance, he was aware of every musician on stage, guiding them with subtle gestures and musical cues.The improvised symphony lasted nearly twenty minutes. It had moments of incredible power and moments of delicate beauty. It made some people laugh with joy and others cry with emotion.As the music finally came to its natural end, the concert hall was completely silent for almost ten seconds.Then the entire audience erupted.People jumped to their feet, clapping and cheering. The standing ovation went on for almost fifteen minutes: some people were shouting "Bravo!", others were wiping away tears, and the music critics, who usually stayed professional and distant, were clapping just as enthusiastically as everyone else.David stood at the piano, looking overwhelmed by the response. William came over and put his arm around David's shoulders."Take a bow," William whispered. "You've earned it."David bowed deeply to the audience, then turned and bowed to the orchestra members who had supported him. The musicians were clapping for him, too, their faces glowing with pride and joy.As the applause finally died down, people began to leave the concert hall. But they didn't leave quietly like they usually did after concerts; they were talking excitedly, trying to find words to describe what they had just experienced."Did that really just happen?" one woman asked her husband.
