My daughter Ebony, who is now married to big John, and who has blessed us with our four year old precious granddaughter, Skye Noelle, has made Sheralyn and I so proud how she has grown up to be a wonderful human being of grace, dignity and integrity.
Growing up taking classical piano since age 6, she developed, with hard work and much practice, into a virtuoso piano player. So, it really made us proud when she applied for admission into Houston's High School for the Performing Arts [HSPVA]. It is very difficult to get into that school, with only the best of the best being accepted. So many very good applicants [for example piano] don't make it. So, it really made us proud when Ebony did make it. I believe it was her freshman year when Beyonce and the singing group, Destiny's Child, were at HSPVA.
Ebony's senior recital was awesome playing 6 great classical music pieces by heart. But it is her first piece I heard her play there as a freshman at there end of their year concert, that I can still remember as if it were today. It was one of the beautiful impromptus by Franz Schubert. His impromptu #2 in A Flat Major, from D 935. [the classification system used to reference Schubert's pieces]. I really love this piece, that is so melodic and its character exudes Schubert.
Listen to the beautiful piece I heard my daughter play as a freshman at HSPVA - Oh, by the way, she played it flawlessly and beautifully. :-)
