Classical music was one of the great discoveries of his life. Now as he stood on the podium and raised his baton, a new sensation arose in him, a deep delight he relished. Beethoven had been able to express such emotion and depth in his music. It could contain joy and pain, delight and sorrow at the same time. Jarod was becoming familiar with this dual sensation. Each new experience was a thing of wonder, like the music swirling around him at his first classical concert, the musicians now responding to his every movement. And always in the background was the sorrow, I’ve been missing this my whole life, and the anger, They took this away from me. What might he have been if they had not taken away his world? But for the moment nothing could replace this moment of standing on the stage and conducting the orchestra.
