A Mozart Reincarnated

1900s full name is Danny Boodmann T.D. Lemon 1900. That is because， as an abandoned infant， he was discovered on a piano in the luxury liner Virginia by a stoker named Danny Boodmann T.D.， in a lemon box， in the year of 1900. Dannys sudden death left 1900 an orphan， with nobody to rely on. But God is always opening a window for you while closing the door.

At the midnight of his foster fathers funeral， attracted by the sound of piano， he slipped into the lounge and played this piece of music， A Mozart Reincarnated. At that time， it is the sea that adopted and pacified him， offering him a shelter. The melody was relaxing and peaceful， just like the vast and boundless sea.

Magic Walts

Time flied， 1900 had grown into a gentleman and part of the sea. He had become more skilled at the piano.

Out of the window， lightning flashes， thunder rumbles， and the sea roars. The boundary of the sea and the sky had become invisible due to the surging waves. Virginia rolls like a rubber ball in front of the sea.

However， as far as 1900 was concerned， the sea was just like a naughty boy who at that time behaved in a bad manner. In the turbulence， he walked at ease as if the ship was within his control. The melody of Magic Waltz was so bright and cheerful， while the piano even started sliding on the floor. It was so romantic and powerful against the chaos outside， as if the music dominates the whole world and led them to the journey of Virginia. 1900 had great sense of safety and pride when he helped Max out of his seasickness by playing piano. The piano of course had always been the power of which he was most proud.

Nocturne With No Moon

The Nocturne was played by 1900 after his encounter with Mr. Padoan， the father of Miss Padoan. Mr. Padoan， after his wifes cheating and runaway and five of his childrens death， decided to fight against his bad luck and found a way out. He was marveled when he saw the sea and heard its voice for the first time in his life. The sea was like screaming：

“You！ … Men with shit in your brains！ Life is immense！ Can you understand that？ Immense！”

The mans revolution to change his life and start afresh amazed 1900 and inspired him to wonder what would the world beyond the sea be like. This nocturne conveyed 1900s loneliness， a touch of sadness and above all， his meditation of the world outside.

Playing love

As if pushed by an invisible hands， 1900 met the Girl， Miss Padoan by chance when his inspiration dried up. Gazing at the girl out of the window， innocent and pure， unstained from the smoke and dust of the world， 1900 burst with ideas and love， which turned into romantic and soft notes of Playing Love. Miss Padoan is a symbol of love and ideality. She represents the bright and wonderful side of the outside world. The Girl enhanced his longing for the outside world. 1900s willingness to “try again and start fresh” was at its strongest.

A Mozart Reincarnated

However， land is a ship too big for him. It is a woman too beautiful， a voyage too long， and a perfume too strong. It is music he does not know how to play. He once attempted to go ashore， but he was shocked at the immensity and infinity of land. Even his love for Miss Padoan could not push him to set his foot on land.

Max looked hard for 1900 around the rusty abandoned Virginia， only to find gaunt 1900 curled himself in a corner， refusing to get down the ship with him. After his miserable struggling， he chose never to get down the ship but share his destiny with it. Before the explosion， 1900 played A Mozart Reincarnated again. It seems that he left the world， but actually， he liberated himself in the destruction and got rebirth.

In this materialistic society， we dont suffer the misfortune that 1900 did so we cannot understand and empathize with him. In other words， not everyone will appreciate a simple mind indifferent to fame and fortune. Therefore， we have no right to judge his choice. 1900pays for and undertakes his own choices. We can just witness his talents and existence. Despite that he has no country， no birthday， and no family， he did have existed in the world beyond all doubt.
