The experience

Li was already grinning when we squeezed into the pews at Chiesa di San Vidal. I think she’d been humming Spring since breakfast. The place smelled faintly of old wood and something sweet, maybe candle wax or just the air after rain. Our local guide waved us toward the front, whispering about Carpaccio’s painting hanging above us (I pretended to know more than I did). Then the first violinist started tuning, and honestly, I felt my shoulders drop. There’s something about hearing Vivaldi’s Four Seasons in Venice itself that makes you feel like you’re in on a secret.

The concert was…well, it wasn’t perfect. Someone coughed during Summer, and my seat wobbled a little, but the musicians played with this wild energy that made me forget everything else. At one point during Autumn, I caught myself watching the hands of the cellist instead of listening. They moved so fast I almost laughed out loud. Afterward, we wandered over to the Music Museum in Campo San Maurizio (it’s only five minutes away), still half-floating from the music. They let us in with our concert ticket, no fuss. Inside, you can get close to these old violins and lutes behind glass. Some are so delicate they look like they’d turn to dust if you breathed too hard.

I tried reading some of the labels but got distracted by a group of Venetian kids pointing at an ancient double bass: their teacher explained something about how it used to echo through palazzos long before microphones existed. There was this faint musty smell mixed with varnish and old paper, and for a second I thought about how many hands had played those instruments. We didn’t stay long, hunger won out, but I still think about that moment when the music from earlier seemed to linger between all those silent strings.
