I arrived at the 57th St. Subway Station in New York City at about 10 p.m. one evening on my way home. The platform(站台)is long and there weren't many people around. I could hear the weak sound of a violin. As I listened, it appeared to be coming from the other end of the station and it sounded like Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto(协奏曲)in E minor, Op. 64 without the orchestra(管弦乐队). I took a walk along the platform until I reached where the sounds came from. There was a young man playing the concerto and playing very well too. A small crowd had been there to listen and had become so interested in the music that they were letting trains go without getting on them. More people came to listen as a few passengers got off each train. At the end of the piece there was a stormy cheer from the listeners and we all left some money for him. I wanted to hear more, so Iasked him to play the Bruch's concerto, which he did while I let several more trains go without me. I finally went home, feeling the pleasure of such music.
A few weeks later, I read an article in the New York Sunday Times that a talented young violinist had been "discovered" playing in the Subway Station and there was a picture of our 57th St. violinist. He had been offered a job with the orchestra of the New York City Opera.
