Breathing deeply, Utemaro allowed his lungs to expand to fill his chest before exhaling allowing his body to get used to being worked like this. They say that you can't train your organs, but that's not entirely true, it's just harder and the techniques to train them are much different than those of normal exercises. At least, for lungs, Utemaro thought. 'Astounding'. Utemaro thought to himself, absolutely astounding. He could not have played better even if he had tried with all his might, at least that's what he thought.
Utemaro was indifferent about his playing, carrying on, giving up, it mattered very little to him
Regardless Utemaro looked over his flute and adjust it a little, cleaned it where it needed and then began to play a tune upon it. Dramatically the song begins, twists and turns and a symphony emerges that for one instrument is remarkable to pull off. Strangely the tune begins to adopt an unusual beat of a swift yet muted staccato, playing around with the notes and rhythms as the song changes and develops.
The climax draws ever closer and the song begins to rise into a crescendo, depicting and melody both epic and meaningful.
As the final verse draws to a close, Utemaro repeats it for emphasis that the song is winding down and ends in a unique yet skillful play of the keys.
An interesting song but it lacked something and he definitely wasn't happy with the outcome. The melody had been tainted with the insecurities in his heart and he'd lacked the confidence to play it fully. 'The next song' Utemaro thought would be a lot better.

Utemaro didn't play his flute as often as he should, but now he was taking all the time in the world to at least practice. He might not ever play to anyone in the world, but he could play here and just imagine that he was playing to other people. Perhaps someone might even overhear? Maybe they'd enjoy his playing, lucky for them. Taking a moment to breathe, Utemaro understood that he'd played rather well, brilliantly in fact.
He was starting to feel negatively about his playing. It didn't really seem to be going anywhere and he wondered whether he was just practicing against a dead end.
Regardless Utemaro looked over his flute and adjust it a little, cleaned it where it needed and then began to play a tune upon it. The large beats followed by a shorter rhythm and the consistent tempo emerged as the song became something to walk to. A march beat of sorts. The tempo of the tune becomes faster and develops in vibrancy. It begins to really lift the mood of the song.
The climax draws ever closer and the song begins to rise into a crescendo, depicting and melody both epic and meaningful.
As the tune flows, the climax over, there's a sudden, sharp note that announces the almost overdue end.
Weak. It was the only way to describe how that song had played he decided when thinking about it. Utemaro could have definitely done better, then again perhaps he could have done worse, after all he was comparing it to his last song.

Standing there on the stage, playing to no one really gave Utemaro a sense of perspective. Of course there could have been lots of people in there but that would have detracted from the moment. It was just him and a wide open space and he could play comfortably without fear or reprimand. Not too bad he considered. It had been an interesting tune that he'd played, but he wanted it a little better...someting to ignite the passion.
He couldn't wait to get started again, playing his flute was definitely a great way to pass the time
Regardless Utemaro looked over his flute and adjust it a little, cleaned it where it needed and then began to play a tune upon it. Dramatically the song begins, twists and turns and a symphony emerges that for one instrument is remarkable to pull off. The song develops into a slow steady beat emanating a sense of security and durability yet also reflecting how Utemaro felt about his previous song.
Oddly the song begins to take an odd turn, instead of growing into a higher, more powerful song it instead descends, changing its pattern into a slow, powerful harmony that reverberates throughout the hall.
As the final verse draws to a close, Utemaro repeats it for emphasis that the song is winding down and ends in a unique yet skillful play of the keys.
That song had turned out a lot better than he'd thought it would on reflection. The climax was definitely unusual but it was really how it had ended that he had liked, truly a fitting ending for a potentially great song. Although he had a niggling doubt in the back of his mind about those few notes he'd missed during the song itself and perhaps should've hit.

It was just him and a wide open space and he could play comfortably without fear or reprimand. It could have been worse, his flute could have snapped during mid play...or perhaps that would have been better?
He didn't feel nearly as positive as he did before about playing. In fact he wasn't sure whether he wanted to really continue.
Regardless Utemaro looked over his flute and adjust it a little, cleaned it where it needed and then began to play a tune upon it. Slowly the song played, with a low and dragging tune. It had all the makings of funeral dirge and yet wasn't. Moody and depressing it went on as if it had all the world on its shoulders The song develops into a slow steady beat emanating a sense of security and durability yet also reflecting how Utemaro felt about his previous song.
The climax draws ever closer and the song begins to rise into a crescendo, depicting and melody both epic and meaningful.
Suddenly the tune stops and there is an almost offsetting silence before the final sequence of notes begin and end on a fade.
It didn't happen often but that songs sometimes moved him, this was one of those occasions as he felt his stomach tighten, he didn't often understand these feelings but this wasn't one of those time. Utemaro was proud of what he had accomplished.

Playing a flute always inspired him, it wasn't quite like writing a book where creativity was everything and foreplanning was the limit of how great your story could become. Music was something entirely different, he could just play and play and it really wouldn't matter what came from his heart. Taking a moment to breathe, Utemaro understood that he'd played rather well, brilliantly in fact.
Utemaro itched to do another performance he wondered with gleet what would come out of his flute the next time he played

Uh sometimes, songs make writers want to slit their own throats, while he wasn't quite at that stage he still didn't feel comfortable about the song he had played, it had definitely lacked something and he wasn't quite sure like the last time how to put that 'something' into the song.

From time to time Utemaro liked to take a small rest before contemplating his next move. He did this now before playing his next song after all, he wanted to think about things first, take in the surroundings as well. It could have been worse, his flute could have snapped during mid play...or perhaps that would have been better?
Although he was only an amateur, Utemaro was keen to get on with the dedication that normally only a professional could show

That last song hadn't played so well, but he'd worked harder on this song. Even though he was only playing it for the first time, like every song so far it had come from the heart and he had really put his all into it.
20F14S ....20 Failures....ouch. This isn't really promising now is it.

It was just him and a wide open space and he could play comfortably without fear or reprimand. It just didn't feel like a song. Sometimes you know when a song is coming together, but that last one, Utemaro didn't have that feeling
The last song had reminded him of something when he was younger. It hadn't really been a pleasant time and it saddened him a little.
Regardless Utemaro looked over his flute and adjust it a little, cleaned it where it needed and then began to play a tune upon it. The tune begins and it turns out to be quite a tune, happy and upbeat. The song develops into a slow steady beat emanating a sense of security and durability yet also reflecting how Utemaro felt about his previous song.
The climax draws ever closer and the song begins to rise into a crescendo, depicting and melody both epic and meaningful.
Finally the song finishes with a flourish, that wouldn't be out of place on the spring festival.
Finally putting his flute down Utemaro reflected on his performance. It had been quite a good song that song, he liked how his song had changed and developed.

From time to time Utemaro liked to take a small rest before contemplating his next move. He did this now before playing his next song after all, he wanted to think about things first, take in the surroundings as well. Utemaro didn't like how his last song played out. Using his imagination was definitely harder than it was to say to improvise.
He was looking forwards to this, his violet eyes shone with anticipation of the next song.
Regardless Utemaro looked over his flute and adjust it a little, cleaned it where it needed and then began to play a tune upon it. As the playing began the tune emerged into a calming piece, atmospheric in nature. The song develops into a slow steady beat emanating a sense of security and durability yet also reflecting how Utemaro felt about his previous song.
Oddly the song begins to take an odd turn, instead of growing into a higher, more powerful song it instead descends, changing its pattern into a slow, powerful harmony that reverberates throughout the hall.
With the final note played, Utemaro's eyes close as he concentrates, the flow of air slowing and tune fading, disappearing into a final end.
Utemaro felt really good after putting in that amount of effort, he'd tried really hard to make the song evolve into something beautiful. Truly though he hoped it was better than that last song he'd played.

Happy that he'd done well, the young boy tried to remember how it had gone, he was going to carry that message forwards into more successful playing

Well. Utemaro thought. That sucked, not much better than the last time and that definitely sucked.

The feeling that he could have played a little better definitely played on his mind. If he could have just worked it a little more maybe just maybe. Or perhaps he was deluding himself. His confidence slipped a little as he realised that for all his practice he was still making some rather familiar mistakes.

Sometimes one might think that performing to no one is quite easy, but then, some say that performing to others is easier. Utemaro though thought like neither of these people. Instead he considered the world differently, he liked to think that no one really took much notice of him and that he could get away with quite a lot provided he didn't attract any attention. Playing his flute by himself was one of those things, even if he was in a place he wasn't quite supposed to be. Taking a moment to breathe, Utemaro understood that he'd played rather well, brilliantly in fact.
