Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 1 Op. 15 I: Allegro con brio

The day starts off bright and early with the sounds of birds chirping and the bell ringing from the church. The baker walks down the street carrying his loaves of bread. A baby bird is hopping along the roof of the church. He takes a tumultuous fall but his mother saves him. The baby bird falls some more until it realizes that he has to flap his wings. Eventually, he takes control of his tiny body and the mother and baby bird start flying together. They soar, turning and spiraling in the air.

A horse and carriage clatter down the street and the mama bird and baby bird start following it. From the church's entrance steps out a young man. He is carrying a book and a stack of papers. He hails the horse and carriage that mama bird and baby bird are following and together they go rushing off through the city. Finally, they make it to his destination, a lovely college with a sprawling lawn. When they arrive, he rushes off and throws a handful of coins at the driver. The birds take this as a sign to settle down on the roof of the college. Inside the college, the boy runs, veering left and right in order to meet his deadline. He manages to hand his papers in at the very last second, and the professor makes a point of staring down at him over the top of her half-moon glasses. The boy smiles sheepishly and ambles off feeling accomplished.

This time he's in no rush and he strolls through the garden in front of the college and meanders along the cobbled streets back to the church. On his way he sees people sitting in the streets. He reaches into his pocket to give then a couple of cents but finds that he has no change on him as he spent it all on the horse and carriage. He hurries back to church and on his way splashes through a puddle of mud. He dashes into his room in the church and pulls out a handful of coins, dashing back through the streets and giving the people on the street some money.

They are extremely grateful for the money and thank him profusely before heading off to the bakers to buy a loaf of bread. They open the door to the bakers and he greets them when he hears the light tinkling of the bell. They find the largest and cheapest roll, and the baker, kindhearted that he is, sees their poverty in their tattered clothing and dirtied faces and gives it to them for free. They cry in gratitude and the baker decided to invite them over to dinner with his family. He can spare a couple bowls of soup for them. They thank him for his kindness and the baker takes them home.
