I think music is very practical! Especially when there's a noble purpose behind it!
[She looks down at this.]
My papa...I was born in a country called Bavaria, and the zither is an instrument that the common people play in the Alps-the mountains that Bavaria and Austria and France and Italy share. I guess you could say the Alps are something we all share-likewise the zither.
A lot of people in my station tend to look down on the kind of music that was made for the zither, and the people who played it, because it wasn't refined or classic. It was peasant music-folk music. But my papa came to appreciate that music of-he considered it important to try and preserve it, and to nurture a love for it. So he started learning how to play the zither and became a master of it-he's even composed a lot of music for people to play!
And...that's how I learned how to play the zither. That's why...I'd like to continue playing that, or at least the music he taught me however I can. I want to honor the country I come from, and...the things my papa taught me. Because...people shouldn't look down on something for being 'common' or 'peasant', because then you might miss something beautiful. Something...something that's free of expectations!

If that makes sense.
