We are at the evening of the concert and nervousness among the kids and not only them, is making itself felt. While the final preparations are in full swing, Barbara decides to do the right thing. Marioni instead continues to harbor strong doubts about maestro Fiore.

Sara offers to walk Chiara home when Marioni discovers her, and the girl tells little Chiara that she hasn't always been blind. There are things she remembers and things she misses. At the end of rehearsal, Marioni criticizes the orchestra.

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.
