Taking the microphone from the host after her performance, Rosemary casually said, "I wrote the song last year for the earthquake survivors, so I can play it without the score."
Talking about proof!
Attlee and Olga in the audience were gobsmacked, finding it hard to believe that this chick who just nailed the piano performance used to be their daughter.
Wasn’t she supposed to be all thumbs? And always ice–cold? How could she play the piano? And such a difficult piece at that.
Rumor had it that soone once offered a fortune to Maestro lody to compose a piece but was turned down. Who would’ve thought that the one who snubbed them was none other than Rosemary.
Serena was also taken aback that Rosemary was Maestro lody. Her performance just now clearly put
her head and shoulders above everyone else! And to think she had been showing off right in front of her! How embarrassing was that?!
Yolanda, totally floored but refusing to admit it, retorted, "No way! President Jasmine said that this song is already in the textbooks. You must have gotten a sneak peek at the sheet music to embarrass , and learned it by heart!" There was no way she could’ve played it so smoothly!
She was only able to learn the piano by mooching off the Harris family’s wealth after taking over her position as their daughter. Nothing to brag about! After hearing Rosemary’s performance, Frida was shell–shocked. She had just publicly played the climax of Maestro lody’s piece. What if Maestro lody thought she sucked?
Seeing Yolanda still in denial, Jasmine’s got her blood boiling, "So if you insist that you single–handedly composed ’Misery, and since you were able to create such a beautiful climax. Do you dare to have a
showdown here with Maestro lody?"
A showdown??
"You and Maestro lody will each have ten minutes to improvise. If you really have talent and your improvisation can surpass Maestro lody’s, then we will recognize your ability!" With that, Jasmine
gave her a cold stare, "The ball is in your court!"
From the side, Rosemary chid in, "We don’t need ten minutes."
She sat at the piano and casually played a lody. Without any preparation or thoughtful consideration, her music was still pleasing to the ears. After playing a light and joyful tune, Rosemary
switched to a majestic lody which clearly conveyed anger. This was followed by a sad lody, and ended with a cheerful tune that lifted everyone’s spirits.
She used her music to express "joy," "anger, "sorrow," and "happiness." The audience erupted into thunderous applause. Her technique, her ability to improvise, the style and level of her lodies, all proved she was lody!!!
The applause was deafening and seed to last forever. Even Kenneth and Louisa were clapping like crazy. They never expected their little girl to be such a whiz at the piano. She rocked!
Yolanda’s face was a blend of shock and sha.
Rosemary’s piano skills were not only superior to hers, but also far surpassed everyone present! She really was lody!
Serena had just one question after listening to Rosemary’s impromptu performance: how on earth could
she play so well without any preparation? Throughout the years, Serena had listened to a lot of niche plano pieces. She was sure that the lodies Rosemary just played had never been perford in public
before. It was highly possible that they were truly improvised! She couldn’t understand how a lody that hadn’t been repeatedly polished and carefully thought out could be played so brilliantly on the spot!
She had foolishly asked Rosemary before if she had learned piano and if she’d won any awards. She even bragged about winning over fifty championships since childhood and her teacher being the
famous piano master Andy.
Now she felt utterly embarrassed. In front of Rosemary, Andy was nothing.
lody was a legend in the piano world, unbeaten till this day! She had won countless top awards both dostically and internationally, a real big shot! In lody’s eyes, regardless of how many
championships her opponents won, even if it was five hundred, she wouldn’t bat an eyelid. Her skill level was out of this world!
Serena felt like she had definitely made a fool of herself. When she asked those arrogant questions earlier, Rosemary was still playing gas. She thought Rosemary was just average. Her previous disdain
and self–righteousness had now beco slaps in the face, hitting her again and again.
Serena couldn’t describe her feelings at the mont. Was it frustration? Unwillingness? Sadness?
Disappointnt? Depression? Feeling useless? Or so other emotion?
"Your turn." On stage, Jasmine lifted her red lips, confidently looking at Yolanda, "Rosemary has completed her improvisation. I believe everyone has seen her level. You thought your talent is above
Rosemary’s, right? Now you can show everyone."
Yolanda stood still, her body uncontrollably trembling. She knew her creative level better than anyone.
Once displayed, it would definitely be a joke. How could she possibly compare to Rosemary!
Seeing her embarrassnt, Jasmine coldly laughed, "If you can’t improvise, just play a famous piece you’re familiar with."
Yolanda couldn’t play. Her teacher had taught her so famous pieces in the past, but she couldn’t rember a complete lody without looking at the sheet music. Even if soone put the sheet music in front of her, she would still play it awkwardly, definitely not as smoothly as Rosemary just did. Anyone
who knew piano could tell her level imdiately!
"You can’t even play famous pieces?" Jasmine found it ironic. She had overestimated her.
Yolanda bit her lower lip, still insisting, "I just went blank all of a sudden."
Seeing her distressed expression, Jasmine found it incredibly amusing, "Since you’re not good at improvising and don’t rember any famous pieces, then play sothing you’re familiar with."
Yolanda still stood there. She had been practicing the piece "Misery" for the past month and hadn’t practiced any other pieces.
"What? Can’t you even play other piano pieces? Not even the most basic Twinkle Twinkle Little Star?" Jasmine said.
Laughter erupted from the audience.
"I never thought Yolanda couldn’t play the piano!"
"Can she only play ’Misery’?"
