Question

it so happened that lucy, who found daily life rather chaotic, entered a more solid world when she opened the piano. she was then no longer either deferential or patronizing; no longer either a rebel or a slave. the kingdom of music is not the kingdom of this world; it will accept those whom breeding and intellect and culture have alike rejected. the commonplace person begins to play, and shoots into the empyrean without effort.
in this passage from e. m. forsters a room with a view, the author conveys the idea that performing music
1 is a way to gain esteem and move up in society
2 creates an emotional bond with those listening
3 allows one to momentarily transcend the world

Explanation:

The passage states that Lucy enters a different world when she plays the piano, becoming neither deferential nor rebellious. The kingdom of music accepts those rejected by breeding, intellect, and culture, and a common - place person can enter a higher state. This implies that performing music allows one to momentarily transcend the ordinary world. There is no mention of gaining esteem in society or creating an emotional bond with listeners.
