Pagera Editor's Note
Gauche is the worst cellist in the orchestra and the conductor tells him so daily. Each night as he practises alone, an animal knocks at his door: a cat, a cuckoo, a badger cub, a mother mouse. Each wants something different and Gauche loses his temper with all of them. By the night of the concert something in his playing has changed, and only afterwards does he understand what those visitors were doing. Published in 1934, after Miyazawa's death.

セロ弾きのゴーシュ 宮沢賢治 ゴーシュは町の活動写真館でセロを弾く係りでした。けれどもあんまり上手でないという評判でした。上手でないどころではなく実は仲間の楽手のなかではいちばん下手でしたから、いつでも楽長にいじめられるのでした。 ひるすぎみんなは楽屋に円くならんで今度の町の音楽会へ出す第六交響曲の練習をしていました。 トランペットは一生けん命歌っています。 ヴァイオリンも二いろ風のように鳴っています。 クラリネットもボーボーとそれに手伝っています。 ゴーシュも口をりんと結んで眼を皿のようにして楽譜を見つめながらもう一心に弾いています。 にわかにぱたっと楽長が両手を鳴らしました。みんなぴたりと曲をやめてしんとしました。楽長がどなりました。 「セロがおくれた。トォテテ テテテイ、ここからやり直し。はいっ。」 みんなは今の所の少し前の所からやり直しました。ゴーシュは顔をまっ赤にして額に汗を出しながらやっといま云われたところを通りました。ほっと安心しながら、つづけて弾いていますと楽長がまた手をぱっと拍ちました。 「セロっ。糸が合わない。困るなあ。ぼくはきみにドレミファを教えてまでいるひまはな
