Adagio

Winner of the Katara Prize for Arabic Novel 2015

by Ibrahim Abdel Meguid

Description

He is surprised by the many musical pieces. After a long wait, he reaches the piano. Did he take his time, or did he surrender to the music? He arrives at the piano and sits in front of it, but he does nothing. He is playing Franz Liszt-Hungarian Rhapsody No.2, where the piano keys move between violins that he cannot not see. The Rhapsody is like a sad sea, and unconsciously, he started moving his arms like the maestro. His head is also moving in great absorption. He arrived for Mozart, but was taken by Liszt. Now, he is playing Mozart’s piano Concerto No. 21. Mozart is back. A tear was about to escape his eyes. The quick piano melodies of Liszt took him to Mozart. He does not know how that happened to him. What a beautiful action, if it was done by a mysterious person.It is a love story; exceptional in its farewell. It has many joyful moments, but it resembles the farewell melody, the sad “Adagio” … the Adagio is a musical piece where the great composer moves from his favorite worlds, cites and deserts … to the human soul in unrepeatable movements.
