Well, he stumbled upon "it".
But he doesn't know what he'd found, much less how to go about reaching it again.
I do like the contrast with the Yamamoto classmate - not technically proficient by Yoshida's estimation, but that humanistic connection to the grandmother, makes the expression come forth. There's something there that resonates with the other students, intrinsic to the human experience, that goes beyond mechanical precision and mastery.
I wager Yoshida's main struggle will be figuring out that connection, that "expressive"ness as the teacher put it, as far as this title goes. And Tessera will likely be his bridge to that point, and he himself will be primary obstacle, though obfuscated as he pushes the onus onto others like this Senba character, or his teachers and parent and classmates.
But, this remains an intriguing series, and I look forward to more.
Thanks for the TL work as always.

this manga is beyond words
incredible, awe-inspiring, radiant, mesmerizing. not even all of that combined would be enough praise for this manga
the absolutely captivating art that bends and twists and sometimes outright explodes reality to convey its emotions. the instantly lovable characters of the main boy whose story and feelings are deeply relatable to the former gifted kids and the never good enough kids, and the hilarious, baffling, exhilarating personality of the main girl meant to spark a love for music within us as well. the genius motif of voyager's golden record which has always made me misty-eyed and emotional thinking about the spirit of humanity and connections, put to perfect effect here in this story about music and love. the themes of what it means to create something with the yearning to have that connect you with others.
i have only felt similar things from omniscient reader's viewpoint, blue period, look back. this is a hidden diamond that deserves the world's attention

Thanks for the chapter :D
It's sad how Yoshida's thoughts keep going to practice, when in fact, he just needs to believe in himself. The last two pages show him sinking in to a negative cycle of self-doubt again: "If I believe in myself... If I keep practicing... Will my music really be able to sound good? Even though I'm not Senba Kanon?" The panel literally turns black, and the classroom loses its brightness. Even though, as Yamamoto's playing showed, you don't need to practice for your music to connect with others.
