Lost Sheet Music in Rhode Island

While practicing scales at my upright piano, I left a bundle of sheet music on the coffee table and stepped out for a quick cup of tea. At 2:30 p.m. on Monday I realized the sheets were gone from my apartment on Benefit Street, Providence, just up the hill from the State House. The music is a well-worn anthology, pages yellowed with faint pencil marks and a torn corner on page 7; it belonged to my aunt and carried her handwriting. I feel frustrated and nostalgic, and I’d give anything to have it back at the piano.
