Today Massena greeted me in a special way: not with break-dancers, not with street commerce, not with arts people... but with music. The clear, subtle yet powerful sound of a piano filled up the air, drowning in its music thee sounds of everyday life. The usual cars driving by, the noise of the workers revamping the facades, the familiar bell of the tram, the continuous buzz of people talking to each other... these were no longer simple sounds, they were part of a classical music concert. Music that a very talented young man was playing passionately on an old piano that he had installed on the square.
I don't know how much it lasted, nor how much I stayed there, mesmerized, listening to him; all I know is that when I left I was smiling, feeling invigorated, at peace with myself. This is why I love Nice -- for the sweet improvised surprises like this that you get every day.
