Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 304

Chapter 304 

Tessa suppressed her excitement and greeted Hathaway. After learning that it was Hathaway who wanted to meet her, she nearly fainted from the shock. She never expected that she would get such a huge opportunity.

When Scott was done making the introductions, he sat aside with the music director and gave both ladies space to have a private conversation.

“After listening to your performance last night, I found that you have a rock-solid foundation. Your transposition was sophisticated. You must practice often, am I right?”

Hathaway sat with her hands gracefully folded on top of her knees like a noblewoman. She was looking kindly at Tessa.

Tessa noticed something, but although she was highly nervous, her every move was natural and graceful, neither humble nor arrogant. “I make sure I practice for two hours every day.”

Hathaway nodded and asked more music-related questions. Tessa could answer every one of them, sometimes even giving some of her unique insight.

“You have a great deal of knowledge. I wonder if you’d like to play ‘Canon’ live?”

‘Canon’ wasn’t a specific piece but a compositional technique, and everyone played it differently. Another point was that although all the parts of ‘Canon’ were imitations of another melody, different instrumental sections entered at certain intervals, creating a rise and fall that occurred continuously. All in all, this was a piece that would truly test her skills.

That request did not faze her as it wasn’t a problem for her. She knew this was the test Hathaway was giving her, and she was prepared to answer to the best of her abilities.

Immediately, she took out her violin, and after tuning it, she began to play.

The mellow and light sound of the violin rang out in the hall, sometimes cheerful, sometimes gentle. It was like water melting in winter, where spring had arrived to restore everything, and the place gradually filled with vitality.

Tessa took a deep breath and looked at Hathaway with anticipation as she finished the piece. “What do you think, Miss Hathaway?”
