The music stopped. Some in the crowd gasped, worried that the show was over. Karolina turned briefly toward her speaker, her eyes registering surprise for just a split second \u2014 then came a quiet, confident smile. Without missing a beat, she made a choice that left everyone stunned.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"815\" data-end=\"850\">No words. No retreat. Just courage.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"852\" data-end=\"1153\">She raised her violin once again \u2014 this time with no background music, no support \u2014 and began playing\u00a0<em data-start=\"954\" data-end=\"976\">\u201cRiver Flows in You\u201d<\/em>\u00a0by Yiruma, a song usually accompanied by piano. But Karolina chose to go fully acoustic, raw and stripped of all artifice.
