Description
This melody is the seventy-first destination in the collection of the series "Ragtime at the Red-Light District." This piece is set at St. Julian's Paceville district.
The main character in this piece is a 33-year old otorhinolaryngologist. This individual was coming off a rough year in which many clients the individual assisted ended up having numerous irreversible conditions that caused the individual to seek asylum. Therefore, the main character decided to take a 49-day vacation and visit an exciting place to fulfill a bucket list dream, besides visiting Dragonara Point and the Millenium Chapel. That meant that the main character underwent a monetary adventure to enroll at the famous Battle of Malta Poker Tournament. Despite having played poker four times during his penultimate year of studies, the individual finished ninth out of 625 people. Most importantly, the main character fulfilled his first confession inside St. Petrus and St. Paulus Church.
The main character even found time to visit the Gianni Bencini Ground to watch a Maltese Cup Round of 32 match. Unfortunately, the lopsided match had the main character emit angry yawns, much to the chagrin of the stadium crowd and especially for the video crew who recorded the individual's incessant yawning. Needing to escape the anxious crowd, the main character sought another suitable place to continue the vacation.
The main character decided to power walk alone and eventually arrived at the Paceville district, which had been bustling for 64 hours. There, the main character noticed a flaxen-haired individual who was a struggling first-year medical student. At first sight, both individuals gazed at each other eyes and their hands, with both noticing the latter's effective trait of being ambidextrous. The two people then shared coffee a night nearby, imbibing in espressos while reminiscing about their spiritual awakenings at the Manwel Dimech Bridge.
This piece has a format of 4AABCADDAA. Alexander Glazunov's "Prelude and Fugue in D Minor" and the Spanish Dance from "Raimonda" were the basis for this piece.
