Whom? A trumpet player? But they have a good singer, Dance, why bother with the trumpet player, no one ever asks for him! The trumpet player did the round of large cities trying to find a job with an orchestra in Belgrade, Zagreb, but no-one engaged him, he had no diploma. He started to drink and forgetting his dreams he went from one cheap cafe to another to play. He is ill and tired now, but when he takes up his trumpet he plays like never before, the golden sounds of his trumpet, mellow and beautiful, flow over the guests - it sings, cries, laughs, tenderly, with feeling, caressing the night. Something tears in his lungs. He finishes his song, pale, barely able to stand on his legs. They take him home. He died the same evening, his trumpet silenced.
