Comment from CrystieCookie999
Oh, my, I could count all the thoughts that seem to come with performance anxiety. Here are some revealing lines: "Precisely so you couldn't play and ask questions at the same time. You needed to concentrate." Crescendo studied Piper for a moment. "You did well, but you do look a bit drained, my boy."
Getting all the way through a magical musical performance from beginning to end without pausing, and worried about those wasps as well, would be draining for anyone.

Hi CrystieCookie,
It is great to hear from a music lover. Yes, performance anxiety can be stressful can't it? Add wasps and it's even greater.
Thank you for commenting on that paragraph. I was hoping it would show how how stressed Piper was.

Debi! So good to see you back! And I enjoyed this post which shows us the magic of music even on wasps. I was rather expecting that as the wasps were sent toward the tree that they would show Burkehart was hiding there. The sense of intense nervousness that Piper felt while concentrating on his music and the fear of getting stung was well done!

Hi Helen,
Thank you for the warm welcome back. Thank you too, for the six star rating. I am happy you enjoyed this episode .
Burkehart was a few trees away so they didn't catch him. He is a crafty one.
Yes, I think I would have been too nervous to play if I'd been in Piper's place.
Thank you for the wonderful review.

If I were Piper I would not go walking with Master Crescendo anymore. Maybe the old boy doesn't mind being stung but I bet Piper is 100 % against it. Like he said they could have started out with Butterflies or ants. LOL
Music does please the masses. Well done, Debi. Nancy:)

Hi Nancy,
LOL, I guess it can be dangerous taking lessons from Master Crescendo. He expects a lot. Having bees, I bet he's been stung a few times. I'm with you, I don't want to be stung.
Thanks for the wonderful review.

Experimenting with music to control a swarm of wasps! No wonder that Piper was sweating! But the music master seems content. Piper performed well. What does this last, returning wasp have in mind? Also, but in the very last moment, her sting is detained, but I have a bad feeling...

A very delightful and interesting chapter. This fairy tale holds a lot of interest regarding the manipulation of insects with music. I will try to read the preceding chapters to fill in the fantasy that is playing out here. Well written and innovative.

Hi Ralf,
Thank you for dropping in to read and review, especially in the middle of a novel. It means a lot to have someone take a chance midway through. I am happy to hear you enjoyed this episode and may even review previous chapters. I am honored.

Comment from lancellot
A very well written chapter. If I were Piper I slap the hell out of Master Crescendo. A bee will die if it stings but a wasp won't. What about poor Piper, his life is less than a insect. Some experiments are worth it.
You made this very entertaining.
