it switches tenses but maybe tat is this the accent i didnt know if you noticed. it is awesome i love when people write out the accent that way it resonates in the readers head. this is great you are a very talented writer.
To anyone interested I based this on an exchange between a real pianist and Debussy that I read about in a book while writing a Music History paper, and Emile Vuillermoz was indeed a French pianist who took lessons frm Debussy. I can’t remember if it was Emile who the exchange was about, but he had a much cooler name than the other pianist I happened to mention in my paper, so I used him.
