When she performs later, there will be performance dresses, and it's not too late to change when the time comes. But this man selected all of the world's most beautiful dresses on her.
Five sets of dresses were brought over from backstage alone, one for her to walk the red carpet in, one for inside, another for presenting awards as a guest, one more for performing and yet another after performing.
Is she here just to model dresses? She doesn't want to be changing into different outfits like a butterfly fluttering around everywhere. She wants to keep things low-key especially in this kind of chaotic environment. All she wants is to attend the award ceremony quietly and perform before going home.
Lately staying in Vienna has become boring with so much work piled up on her plate.
Halfway through the award ceremony, the host looked at their cue card with confusion. Was there an added performance? And it was exactly identical to Sylvia's? The piece that Sylvia was supposed to perform... but now Ashlyn and Mrs. Ritter are collaborating on Wynter's masterpiece "Soul"?
Since Sylvia was also supposed to perform Wynter's "Soul," how could they have overlapping performances? The host is professional though; they only had a brief moment of shock before quickly reacting: "Next up we have second place piano competition winner Ashlyn and her mother bringing us 'Soul'."
The audience immediately erupted into thunderous applause as lights dimmed on stage while near ethereal piano music began playing - Soul is an extremely ethereal song that became famous when it was first released by Wynter who wrote lyrics for Eden who then sang it to make it both famous throughout H Rovirsa. It then spread across the continent and became popular worldwide.
It even elevated Eden's status further since Soul's EP sold millions. Who would've thought Ashlyn and her mother would suddenly perform this piece?
As soon as flashlights lit up, Ashlyn, wearing a fair dress sitting atop a piano bench, her fingers dancing across black-and-white keys to create beautiful melodies. Everything looked stunningly beautiful!
And just then, Mrs. Ritter suddenly appeared. She was wearing a white dress and sat next to Ashlyn, playing a piano duet with her!
After the duet, Ashlyn suddenly stood up and elegantly twirled around, lifting her skirt and starting to dance.
The scene was very impressive. Mrs. Ritter was the president of the Urgford Piano Association and had a high level of piano skills. The mother-daughter duet from earlier was shocking, followed by Ashlyn's graceful transformation into a dancer.
Many people in the audience were completely captivated by what they saw.
Those who were looking forward to Sylvia's performance didn't want to see this mother-daughter duo perform at all but were surprised at how well they did.
Some professional musicians in the audience began praising Wynter's music: "Wynter's music is truly extraordinary; there must be a reason why his compositions have such lasting power."
"Whoever performs Soul feels like their soul has been penetrated by music itself. Wynter is truly deserving of his reputation."
"This mother-daughter duo took Soul to its ultimate expression..."
Louis had listened to Soul many times before - including Eden's singing - so he felt extremely dissatisfied with what he saw now.
He looked coldly indifferent as he said, "Soul uses electronic mixing for its original composition and even incorporates some zither into it; if played on piano alone it will only weaken its penetrating power."
"The technical skill of this mother-daughter duo is impeccable but they haven't really grasped the essence of Soul."
He felt that this amazing piece had been completely ruined by their performance.
After all, Louis secretly liked Wynter too but found him extremely mysterious since no one knew who this composing master really was... and even more strangely enough, despite being such an amazing composer he never participated in any competitions or supported anyone other than Eden...
What made that kid so special?
The Ritter family's performance lasted five minutes before ending quickly.
Both mother and daughter enjoyed themselves thoroughly during their performance while showing happy smiles towards each other.
Mrs. Ritter paid big money for program staff members' arrangements just for them two to do last minute performances right before Sylvia's turn on purpose!
They performed exactly same song as Sylvia would later perform...
Let's see how Sylvia handles it!
The host continued with a look of discomfort, "Miss Ritter and Mrs. Ritter's performance was very impressive just now. Next up... please enjoy Miss Andrews' performance of... um... Soul."
She felt like crying. Why did she have to encounter this kind of crematorium-like hosting scene? She gritted her teeth and quickly finished the announcement before getting off stage.
While waiting backstage, Sylvia learned about Mrs. Ritter's last-minute addition to the program. She stood at the entrance to the stage, watching as the Ritter mother and daughter duo came down from it without acknowledging them.
Mrs. Ritter walked up to her, proudly saying, "Miss Andrews, I'm so sorry for adding Soul as well; I happen to love it too! We really do have similar tastes."
