La Bataille de Musique
Polly meets Emma Hartley, a researcher studying alpine acoustics, who helps Kaspar discover his musician's dystonia allows him to create revolutionary music using the mountain's echo chambers. When traditionalist champion Gottfried Steiner confronts them, Kaspar's experimental playing inspires other musicians across the mountain to join in, creating a spontaneous orchestra that challenges centuries of rigid tradition.

Un grand homme arrive. Il s'appelle Gottfried. Il a une trompette. La trompette est très propre. Gottfried semble en colère. Il voit les machines d'Emma. Il ne les aime pas. Gottfried dit des choses méchantes. Il dit que Kaspar est vieux. Il dit que Kaspar ne peut pas jouer. Kaspar est triste. Puis Kaspar devient en colère. Kaspar prend sa trompette. Il joue des sons courts. Les sons vont vers les rochers. Les rochers font plus de sons. Les machines d'Emma marchent vite. La musique est nouvelle. La musique est belle. D'autres personnes entendent la musique. Elles jouent leurs trompettes aussi. Toutes les trompettes font de la musique ensemble. La montagne fait de la musique aussi. Gottfried est très en colère. Son visage est rouge. Il dit que c'est mal. Il part vite. Kaspar est content maintenant. Emma montre sa machine. La machine a de bonnes informations. Polly regarde tout. Polly voit Gottfried s'arrêter. Gottfried écoute la musique. Peut-être que Gottfried aime la nouvelle musique.
