It's the evening of the concert, and everyone is nervous, not only the musicians. While the final preparations are in full swing, Barbara shows up, Maestro Fiore has some bizarre ideas for motivating his orchestra members, and Matteo makes a surprising move.

Sara offers to walk Chiara home, and the two have a conversation about how it feels to be visually impaired. At the rehearsal, Marioni expresses his frustration with orchestra's lack of passion in their playing and discusses the significance of performing the Unfinished Symphony.

Marioni puts Matteo to the test, asking him to play first violin in the Brahms symphony, together with the entire orchestra. Later, Domenico tells him about someone who had crumbled under Marioni's harsh treatment.
