Da Capo

Read Da Capo

Elros looked mournful. The reception of his first musical composition was not what he’d expected.

Elrond’s snickers weren’t helping.

Makalaurë laid a consoling hand on his shoulder.

“Don’t fret, it is excellent for a beginner.”

“No, it was a disaster, not at all like I meant it to be,” Elros sighed, laying down his little pipe with an air of dejection.

“Hardly reason to give up,” Maedhros said, shooting a quelling look at Elrond. “You don’t suppose Kano here improvised a concerto the first time he met a cello, do you?”

The trajectory of Elros’ eyebrows strongly suggested he had.

Yes, it would be very daunting to have someone like Maglor teach you music! So easy to imagine that he never had to learn anything himself.

I am amused at the kazoo! You seem to have substituted a slightly more expected instrument, although his brother's reaction rather suggests the kazoo...
