In these 30 seconds I hear Tinker Bell’s anger and jealousy at Peter’s apparent betrayal, but also her fragility.
Do you hear her, too? What other book characters do you think this music sounds like?

If Mermaids Wore Suspenders 
My little mouse feet can only carry me so fast over the bridge. A bridge made of pasta noodles and the crusty parts of bread. On the ground below me, my arch nesmis follows. The cat. The rather large, hungry cat. I slow myself as I reach the end of the bridge. This next part will require every attention of detail I can muster. I close my eyes as I take hold of the cheese curl vine. I swing toward my prize when suddenly, but softly logic hops into my brain. Why not just eat the cheese curls? The end.

Love it!! I can definitely hear this in the music. And I love how you matched the sudden ending to the mouse just deciding to eat the cheese. Thanks for sharing!

Actually, I hear Mrs. Schumann telling her 7 + kids, “C’mon, shoo, get yourself to bed!” Poor Mrs. Schumann: All those children, her less than sane husband, and supporting them all through a concert career. No wonder she had chronic bursitis in her old age!!

It’s all true. Read Swafford’s bio of Brahms.

I’m humongously biased by the title of the piece, but it really does sound like children playing hide-and-seek and running around without a care in the world 😊

“The loveliest tinkle as of golden bells answered him. It is the fairy language. You ordinary children can never hear it, but if you were to hear it you would know that you had heard it once before.”
Congratulations! You must be extraordinary to hear Tinker Bell!

I don’t know about that haha, but thanks so much!! Peter Pan is one of my favorites though I’ve only read it once and this music just made me think of it!
