Just a week ago, we enjoyed wonderful weather and time in Austria, meeting up with other Hivers under the blue and sunny skies of that European country. Although the schedule was quite dense, I felt like it was a real vacation. We had presentations, walks, chit-chats and other activities, but even then, now it feels that it was super relaxed, compared to this week I had. Full days of work, rehearsals and a concert - that's my reality, mixed with household chores, and some additional work we have to do around our home. I started to paint some furniture (probably in the only 30 minutes of free time I managed to find haha), and my husband converted himself into a bricklayer to fix the wall of one room and the shower cabin as the work that the technicians did some months ago turned out to be worse than we thought. While I am rambling now around, I feel I am converting this post into a rant hahaha. Actually, I just miss those days from last week, so much that I lost my mind and unthinkable things have been done by me. I even became a trespasser. Yeah...
Between some lessons and my lunch break, I still had 15 minutes to grab a coffee from the coffee machine in the Cultural Centre, where we would have the concert with the choir in the evening. Well, as I was already there... I peeked into the hall... the stage was already set, and the sound technician was doing his work around the microphones.
Lady Kawai was wearing a cool floral decoration made of dried leaves and flowers. I took some photos and decided not to be shy. Why wouldn't I play a bit? No one was there, just the technician who had nothing to do with the piano at that moment. I even sent a photo to the choir director, just the photo, without words. His reaction was priceless. 馃槀

For the English speakers: What are you doing there? Entry is prohibited! 馃槀馃槀馃挄
Well, well, well, maybe not for everyone! 馃ぃ
Some people can even touch the piano and press some keys, make the strings vibrate in the air and record some parts of a song. We usually call it just practice or a sound check of the piano. The technician and I started to talk when he came closer, so I stopped recording. Btw, this is just the piano part of one of the songs we played in the evening, Torna a Surriento. We miss from here the mandolin, the cello and the choir.
The background sound we hear in the beginning is from the air conditioner and also from the laptop of the sound technician, which was right next to my phone; later, I took my phone close to the piano. I liked to mix the two angles of the video footage. Anyway, this is how I committed this big and unforgivable trespass into the concert hall while having a coffee break. 馃榿
In the evening, it was no longer considered a crime! 馃榿
