Although in the beginning he is depicted as a frail weak man who is dependent on others, we can see an almost immediate change in his manner when he encounters the piano though he hesitates at first, the moment he finds the keyboard his hands start gliding over the keys doing what they are supposed to do confidently and gently. Through this and the fact that he enters pure bliss when he realises that he has saved the piano from definite destruction we can see that he does his work very passionately.
After the tuner has done his work, he requests someone to play, for which the man's wife gets up and starts playing the classical piece "Stardust" we see that the piano tuner is satisfied with his work and appreciates the narrator's wife's piano skills as he smiles and departs from the household. From "Stardust" the wife moves onto the "Chopin nocturnes", "Claire de Lune" and "Papa Haydn's dead and gone, gently down the stream." Observing the pieces she plays that she is an intermediate level piano player as all the pieces are Level 6/7 pieces.
