FictionApril 2020The Piano Tuner
by Kuo Chiang-Sheng(Johnny Kuo)
“In the beginning, we were souls without bodies.” When God planned to give us souls a physical shape, souls lost freedom forever. Our protagonist is a piano tuner with an extraordinary musical gift. Not only does he possess a mastery over musicality and pitch, he is also able to distinguish the distinct characteristics of each piano. A chance encounter in his teen derails the dreams of becoming a professional pianist, leaving him stuck in time against the memories of what has been lost – he is now over forty, unkept, and lacks achievement of any kind. A grieving businessman of over sixty meets the tuner when he is left behind a piano by his wife. The pair become business partners with the plan of dealing second-hand pianos – they embark on a journey to locate a piano in New York. As the journey unfolds, the tuner comes to understand the twists and turns of a love story that is hidden out of sight under the elegant sound of the piano: the love of an older man and his young wife – their love tested against the trials and tribulations of life. He learns that there is a universality to the secrets hidden behind each narrative of love, whether it is between teachers and students, husband and wife, and even in friendship. Their final destination is an old piano cemetery, a whole field of bare, stripped, and abandoned piano remains. This evokes an emotional response from the tuner, as he recognizes it as a dark parallel to the final ruins of emotions. THE PIANO TUNER utilizes musical stories from history, such as Rachmaninoff, Schubert, Richter, and Gould to represent the characters’ thoughts in the story. Kuo Chiang-Sheng’s extensive research is evident: from Richter, the second-hand piano distribution center in Manhattan, to the piano tuner profession, etc. all are set against the sound and backdrop of the everchanging, contemporary media age. Everyone has an innate program for resonance. Some find it in musical instruments, some in singing, while some are more fortunate to find a vibration amid the world, awakening resonance between the past, present, and future. The novel tells a story of sound and emotion, and the medium of communication between the two is the piano. A book filled with sorrow and temperance, Kuo Chiang-Sheng’s first foray into musical fiction leaves one breathless with praise.
