feredarStory: Favorite
Characters: Lonura
There's no logical reason, but piano has always been Lonura's favorite instrument to play. It's not that piano is any more or less expressive or cliche than violin, or guitar, and of course any instrument is easier to control than her voice...
Maybe it's just that her favorites pieces are for piano. The aching, tightly-wound chords in Chopin; the near-impossible breadth of Rachmaninoff; Beethoven's sonatas, teetering on the edge of romanticism; Schumann--both Schumanns--and their history, and...
Or maybe it's that so much is already set for her. She raises the lid, rests her hands on the keys, and all she can do is choose the timing and the stress, and yet...when it comes out right, from the piano, maybe that makes the reward--the music, played right--all the greater.
So, there it is. Lonura has her violin, her guitar, and any others she can get her hands on--she learns the new instruments as easily as breathing--but, time and time again, she comes back to her piano; to Schumann and Beethoven, Chopin and Rachmaninoff; the cool keys under her hand, and coaxing them to life.
