Short stories featuring musical instruments and those who play them!

Claud never sought marriage. But that’s not to say he knows not love. Oh no.
She stands in the corner of the boudoir. He gazes longingly at her. Her flowing curves, her slender neck. He‘s overcome with passion. Slowly he strolls toward her then tenderly takes her in his arms. He caresses her, strokes her and she softly hums a tune.
Tomorrow, they go away on tour. In halls and theatres, they’ll entrance and captivate their audiences with their love for one another.
For it is said, the cello bears the closest sound to a human voice.
Play on Claud, play on.

Oh, I am going to have to go listen to my Elgar cello concerto CDs.
One of favourite pieces. I may just join you!
Music is the heart of romance. And some cello music can be quite seductive.
It is, and it certainly can be which is exactly what led me to write this piece. Thanks Gail.
You had me fooled there for a moment.
…as I hoped I might!
👍👍👍
A love affair with a cello. Need to listen to some cello music, haven’t heard before.
I absolutely love it. Thanks so much.
I am not at all musical but I can appreciate a cello player
There is something special about it.
A passionate love story! I love cello, such a deep and rich music.
Me too. Thanks so much
I used to own a tattoo shop. One of my tattooists played the cello. She would bring it in and play it when she had no clients. So, we had cello accompaniment every day. It was awesome.

That must have been amazing! I’ve often thought dentists should have them, they are so calming!
So delicately done Keith. Loved it. This piece flowed like music.
Thanks for your kind words Arti.
There’s always room for cello.
Absolutely so Liam. Thanks for dropping by.
Oh, cello! Love how you teased this one out. Very well done.
I’m pleased you like it Anne, thank you.
It’s my favourite string instrument. Always sounds a bit mournful somehow. Nice write, Keith👌
It’s certainly very moody. Thanks so much Sunra.
I love music, could play the piano at an early age love both classical an modern music.. Loved your c post.
I too like both genres. Thanks for dropping by Yvonne.
I love this. You really had me fooled.
I remember the first time I saw Jacqueline du Pré play the cello. She was totally one with the instrument. I’d love to see the ballet about her music. Her cello was a male dancer.
Ooh, just found the ballet on YouTube! Excellent! Thank you for the inspiration.
She is amazing and inspired many to take up the instrument. I wasn’t aware of the ballet, I’ll be looking it up. Thanks, Jenne.
Let’s hope they never betray each other with that passion! Great stuff Keith.

I very much doubt it Iain! Thanks so much.
The cello is my favorite, i wish i could have learned it.
Me too. It has become a more popular instrument for young people to learn in recent years.
When my friend’s daughter started taking cello lessons, the instrument was almost as big as her. It was so fun to see her playing the instrument. Weekends In Maine
Haha, I can imagine! Hopefully she managed OK.
Very nice. Cello’s are beautiful. Looking forward to more.
Indeed they are. Thanks so much Lynette.
This is lovely. Beautiful words and sentiment.

That’s most kind of you, thank you.
I fell in love with the sound of the cello late, but I think it will be enduring. Lovely piece, Keith! 🙂
I’m sure it will. Thanks so much Sascha.
Cheers Larry.
I fell in love with the cello, love at first note, when I was about 5 years old. I played for many years, but sadly don’t pick it up very often any more. But then my daughter chose to learn cello, so I had many years of her music, too. =)

So the cello sings on. How lovely,
