Chapter 890
Anthony's eyes grew a layer of frost.
Was she genuinely threatening him? He had to put her in her place. 2
He walked toward the piano and sat down elegantly.
Waverly exhaled in relief. Perfect-she managed to intimidate Anthony! 4
At last, she could perform something with him in public!
She walked over and sat down.
Susan and Grandma Bailey let out a breath of relief, pleased with the outcome.
Thus, everyone waited silently.
Anthony's delicate fingers landed on the keyboard as he started his performance. The beautiful sound came out from the piano, and it was Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3.
This was the most difficult piano concerto in the world!
A famous music critic once described the performance as energy-draining, and that the physical energy required was equivalent to 'ten tons of coal'. In the documentary of an Australian musician [Flashing Glory], he once described a pianist who mentally collapsed due to performing this piece... yet Anthony was able to perform such a difficult piano repertoire!
After a moment of shock, Waverly’s red lips curled up slightly.
Luckily, she was well-prepared before coming back. In order to successfully stun anyone, she had learned all of the most difficult things in the world, from hypnosis to piano pieces and all kinds of arts.
Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3 was not too difficult for her. 3
Her fingers landed on the piano keys and she played with Anthony.
The two sat together like a pair of fey couples, and countless people admired them. Many wealthy ladies felt extremely bitter. How did Susan marry off so well and have such an amazing son and daughter-in-law?
Eventually, however...
The tempo picked up and became faster.
Next to Anthony, Waverly failed to catch up to Anthony's tempo. She looked anxious and no longer smug like before. 1
She tried to catch up but was unable to do so; she was a few beats behind. 1
Until the end, when Anthony’s tempo was at its peak, her fingers failed to even touch the keys. 1
She was completely out of sync with Anthony, unable to catch up!
Furthermore, she wanted to play, but Anthony's delicate fingers jumped from the left side of the piano to the right, fast like a phantom.
Even though it was fast, his posture and look remained calm as if he was drinking tea.
He even played Waverly's part as well...
Waverly sat by the side, and awkwardly so.
A gust of autumn wind blew by, and the dried yellow leaves flew in the air...
As the concerto drew to a close, the audience were stunned.
They had never heard such a beautiful concerto.
Who would have thought that Anthony not only knew business, but his piano skill was so high-level!
After a momentary stun, everyone snapped out of it as they commented,
'Why did Waverly stop halfway?"
"Isn't she the No.1 wealthy heiress from Kansas? She failed to catch up?"
