The last note of the piano piece faded away, leaving a hush in the practice room. Daniel had just mastered the complex sonata, and the relief was palpable. He sat, letting the echo of the music settle around him. His fingers felt light, his mind clear. He reached for his phone, checking his Facebook notifications. He was now followed by Mr. Henderson, his music teacher.
