Per Elisa was one of the pieces Romano intended to play to show how much of an artistic person he was. So he decided to start off by showing the sheet music to Austria who looked puzzled then down at the boy who was waiting for his answer patiently as one child could. Even playing with the lace at the bottom of his pink dress and his golden eyes turning up to the man holding a powerful urge to play a beautiful piece. Austria sighed then kneeled to the waiting boy,
"You know Per Elisa is a very hard piece to play.... Taking time and very hard practice do you even have a piano to practice on?"
The boy nodded till he got a look from the man then spoke, "Yes sir, I just want to be better at something then my stupid fratello! Please teach it to me, I'll even practice the way you want me to if you like!"
Austria knew the boy wasn't lying so he nodded and stood up sighing then made a hand movement to the piano,
"Go sit on the piano while I brew some coffee and get snacks.... You know your notes and keys correct?"
The boy nodded then felt relieved when the man give a softer expression then smiled,
"Good, let's teach you Per Elisa then..." He felt the man brush him into the room beginning his first piano lesson.

Romano was growing out of wearing his tiny dress and starting to wear more like able clothes for a boy his age. Even finally learning Per Elisa and learning other pieces that sometimes Austria had to play with him. Sometimes even playing for his Boss Spain, who only listened to Moonlight Sonata or Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 1 which made the boy mad. Romano was on the piano playing Per Elisa in his happy place when he was rudely interrupted by the door opening and slamming loudly,
"Don't you think it be better if you didn't slam the door bastard!"
Spain laughed then walked over to the boy holding a few papers,
"Austria came he couldn't stay but he brought you some sheet music and for an odd reason. A big box."
Romano turned then got up pushing the stool he used under the piano then took the sheet music and plopped down on the floor seeing a note stick out the side of it. Yanking it off he opened the note and started reading,
'Dear Romano,
Seems your Bruder isn't acting the best so I must postpone our little session, till next week and I owe you two days then for next week. Yet the reason I've given you this present is, because you've gotten so good at the piano I wanted to step the game up and let you play the violin. I understand your not ready or use to it, but just read over my notes and try to get use to the feel of it, till next week. And don't forget to still practice for your piano recital. Hope your not terribly mad. Good luck to you....
Austria'
Romano opened the box seeing a delicate violin and almost coughed his guts out, till he pulled the bow out and the instrument,
"He got me this?!" Romano said then pulled out a tiny book with instructions to play this object. He sighed then actually started reading, he could do this what could be so hard?
