    Giorgio Lo Porto posted a video on Tik Tok about his new neighbor and their common piano talent! The post showed the cooperation of playing out music at the same time with two pianos separated by one wall.

    Giorgio's neighbor's name was Emil, who was 78 years old. Emil's wife had passed away in December. The only comfort left to Emil was his piano. He spent days alone at home because of gloom, only looking forward to playing his wife's favorite piano song every night.

    When Giorgio heard the music coming from the other side of the wall, he could really feel how moved the old man was. One day, Giorgio suddenly got an idea — writing a note to his new neighbor and hoping to duet (合奏) a piece of music. Then, Giorgio put a piece of paper reading "you are heard, and not alone" on Emil's door. Thus, Giorgio began to play the piano with Emil every night. And a new friendship started.

    Later, Emil wrote back "Dear Giorgio, I knew very little about you, but you lit my life, and we shared music with the world. I'll keep playing, thinking of how powerful music can be. "
