A highly educated city wanted to honor the Music and for this
purpose, requested the presence of great musicians and to make it more
interesting, the Music was personified with the characteristics of the
notes.
The first one, of course, was the High C, followed by the whole
musical staff presenting a great choreography.
Many songs, musical instruments were present and received a great
ovation. It was hard to say, who was best since there were different
genres from classical to the most modern. Nevertheless, there was a
very wise musician in the group of organizers, who said:
" Gentlemen, you all make an extraordinary work but there is one who
stands out, I don't mean to say that it is superior but I must say
that if it did not exist , we couldn't exist either."
"Who could it be?" the rhythm, harmony and melody were asking.
While the notes said, "That is a joke!"
The instruments almost made a
revolution. And what can we say of the fuss that the trumpet made.?
The piano said, " This contest is fixed."
But the wise musician spoke again saying:
" Gentlemen, be patient,
we all know that you are very temperamental and I knew that I would
produce a commotion with my words but I have invited our main guest
and winner. Yes, you heard right. "
This was like throwing fire
to the fire, the music, musicians, instruments looked like burning
coal.
And the wise musician said again, " Wait a moment, when I open the
curtain, I will present my cousin, the winner,"
He shouldn't
have said so, since he started something like the meeting of different
political groups, that seemed like a mixture of fanatics.
Nevertheless, the old musician did not get upset, but instead, he was
smiling with gentleness, while the public was shouting, " Tell us who
it is"
And the wise musician replied, " Gentlemen, this person has everything
that you lack."
He shouldn't have said this, because the public
got more upset.
But he continued, " Gentlemen, please, be quiet. "
And
a voice was heard, asking to let the wise, old musician speak.
And he did and said, " Gentlemen, he is the one who makes you be what
you are.
He doesn't have to say a word, because his work is the
Silence and without the Silence, there is no music."
And without
saying another word, he received the greatest ovation and was chosen
with great unanimity, the winner.
