The door opened and Wendy Barton came out. I walked in, sat down on the piano bench and began to sort through my sheet music.

　　“Hello,” I heard a voice behind me say softly. I turned around to see a little girl standing behind me, eating an apple. But before I could make any response, Mrs. Windsor walked into the room in her usual urgent manner and announced, “Jennifer, this is my niece, Pasha. Pasha, this is Jennifer. Pasha will be giving you your lesson today. I’m up to my ears in something else!” she then exited to the kitchen.

　　Pasha set her apple down on the side table and slid beside me on the piano bench.

　　“What piece do you like best?” she asked.

　　“What do you mean?” I asked. “They’re all the same to me. I don’t know.

　　“You mean you don’t have a favorite?”

　　“No, not really.”

　　Pasha looked at me, rather puzzled, then opened my sheet music to the beginning page and asked me to play. I arranged my fingers on the keys and studied the notes on the page for a moment. Then I frowned and concentrated to make the notes on the page match the finger movements. I have to admit I was a rather mechanical pianist.

　　After about a page or two, Pasha gently put her hand on top of mine as if to calm my fingers. There was a long pause. “What are you hearing in the music?” I looked at her rather strangely and admitted I didn’t know what she meant.
