Wow.

I have read a lot of amazingly deep and skillfully done fanfics written by you and thought, there is no way you can possibly top (insert name of last fanfic read) and yet you do, on a regular basis.

Just as the music thoroughly captured and conveyed the emotionals and life changes of the characters portrayed. You so perfectly capture the emotions and romance of Moonlight for us.

Thank you for being such an amazing artist yourself!

My favorite image (of so many here) is of Josef sitting there transfixed by this music in a time so long ago....

I love the way you have given Sarah the emotional understanding of Charles/Josef through the music.

Josef kept most of himself hidden most of the time, I think. I really like seeing him here, opening up and expressing himself in this way.

Really beautiful.

Thanks, Shadow. The image of Josef playing the piano while Sarah listens was greenleaf9's idea - and somehow, Beethoven seemed appropriate for Josef.

Just thought I'd leave you another comment Red, expressing how much I adore this one-shot. You've captured Josef and Sarah so beautifully here, and I couldn't ask for a better realization of my idea. This line especially,

She watched his body move into the rhythm, fingers flashing, head bowed, absorbed in a power stronger than his own.

I can just see Josef playing the piano, lost in the music...it is such a powerful image. You captured everything so perfectly.

Thanks for such a beautiful story. It is truly heartwarming. I re-read it often.

Thanks so much, sweetie. I'm so happy that you loved this enough to keep coming back for a re-read.
