Berlin Sophienstrasse

It is 9:30 in the morning on the Sophienstrasse, Berlin.

There is a woman who is reading a newspaper leisurely with a cup of coffee in a patio of an apartment. Liselotte retired from her work at the age of 55 and is leading a comfortable life alone now. She rents both of the second floor and the third floor entirely. She can afford it with the inheritance from her parents and her own savings.

What she takes most time a day is to practice playing the piano. She never fails to practice two hours twice a day. She is 77 years old. She used to learn to play the piano from the age of 5. But she had come to play the piano less and less frequently. She started the practice again when she was 50. She also devotes herself to support young musicians.

Her residence is very beautiful. There’s nothing but her favorite things around her in her environment. She just keeps on selecting　the best things for her. I also like to play Chopin's nocturnes everyday and also play the guitar every day. They are my favorite things. I have a strong sense of affinity and admiration to her.
