    You know what?

    I absolutely loved it. I got goosebumps.

    I adored how you connected the piece to the fic, and how the music quite literally told a story. The descriptions was off the charts, and I can honestly say that I was drawn in from the start, with how her dress fell over her knee. I dunno, it was a perfect beginning, for some reason.

    I also loved the quote about all music can tell a story, about the man and the woman, and how she was wondering if their fates would end up different. Brilliant. And the part about the copy of Elegie burning, in the end, it was just wonderful.

    As I got up to bow, as I always did, I saw the woman of the music in the audience, silently weeping and clapping harder than anyone else.

    A beautiful finale; the wording was excellent. I am kicking myself for not discovering this before; it's going on my Recced Stories List in one of my journals. I was very impressed, and I mean it. Marvelous job! Mr. Green

    I can't believe you don't have more comments for this. I seriously cannot believe it. It's really beautiful and well-written; you're very skilled with descriptions. I could imagine the music very clearly and I loved it. Of course you can join the Grammar Nazis.

    Amazing. This one-shot was completely amazing.
    I've never really been a fan of classical music, but I do know that stories are told during the performance. I loved how you combined two stories into one, since, I've tried that and gave up, but you pulled it off brilliantly.
    I honestly don't think that anything should be changed with the way you write, it's great.

    I loved that. As someone who plays classical music, I understood very well what it is like to hear a story in the piece.The only thing that really seemed to stand out as not quite perfect was the line the low rumble of my violin. Violins don't really rumble when they're in a low octave so much as...Vibrate, I would say. But other than that I thought it was amazing. :]

    That was truely beautiful.
    I loved how you combined the two stories into one, and thentied the woman in at the end, in the audience.
    It's extremly difficult to do that, and you did it perfectley.
    I'm at a loss for words, it was a beautiful story, and a very unique way of writing it.
    Your description was beautiful, and it ran very smoothly.
    I really enjoyed reading it!
    I would give you something to improve, but I really can't think of anything.
