Mistress of arts-Empty sheet music
rating: 0+x

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is placed in a cool and dry storage room. The lights have to be very dim to not damage the paper nor the ink.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a 8.5 x 11.0 inches piece of paper that resembles a sheet music.

The piece is called "La melodia del silenzio", which translates to "The Silent Melody" from italian, with keys indicating that it is meant to be played on a piano. It was found in a small village in southern Italy, none of the locals knew of it’s existence. The "composer" of it is unknown.

The melody has no notes and no time signature, but it does have rest bars and a tempo. When a person with musical training wants to play the melody , they will be able to see notes and will feel the urge to play it. When they begin making any sound, they will experience a sudden cardiac arrest, which most of the time leads to their death.

The notes of the piece depend from person to person, as some say that is a very easy melody and others say that it is simply unplayable.
