A timpani player at an opera theatre can become a composer and leave a trace in history and people’s hearts. He already hears the tune in his head, it haunts him all the time. He has only to get home, take a sheet of paper and write it down. But he has so many appointments, so many promises, he has to go to some many places, help so many people, say so many “Hellos” and “Good-byes”… And the seconds keep flying by. And every one of them can be the last.
