The child pianist

The child pianist

A Poem by Carlo Lazzari

I am attracted by

Virtuous notes

A capable sound

From a Steinway & Sons grand piano

 

A mighty orchestra

Unknown melodies

A child prodigy at the keyboard

A Gift of Peace

 

The hammer that strikes golden strings

Of a grand piano.

Bravo. Hurrah.

A Laurel, a performance hardly heard

 

Attentive spectators rejoice

The vaults of the concert hall

Reflect corpulent sounds

Gershwin’s Allegro or Lento

'Scherzo Con Brio' without hardship

 

The child pianist

That angels also listen

Of a talent that inebriates like wine

And the key to a distant remembrance

 

It is now a choral

Then a horn sound

Of at an Imperial Andante

Then the winds all around

 

Fiery Rondo. Dreamy adages.

Arpeggio and a madrigal

Finally, the Grand Finale

Without hesitation
