Barton often plays the piano to the animals in Lopburi,an area known for its populations of wild monkeys.He has played at four sites,including at a store and an old movie theater. The pianist hopes the music shows bring calm to the animals during the COVID-19.The pandemic has caused problems for the monkeys,too.They are hungry.The restrictions( on tourism mean fewer people come to see the monkeys and feed them. The monkeys quickly surround Barton when he plays Green Sleeves,Beethoven's Ftr Elise and Michael Nyman's Diary of love.Some of the creatures sit on his chair,while others climb up his body and touch his head.But,Barton keeps his attention on his performance, even as a small monkey runs over his hands on the instrument.Other monkeys take control of his music papers. "It's a wonderful opportunity to see the wild animals just being themselves.I was surprised to find that they were actually eating the music as I was playing it.I am not going to allow those things to distract myself from the project which is to play the music for these wonderful creatures.We need to make an effort to make sure that they can eat properly so that they will be calmer and will not be aggressive,"said Barton. The monkeys are Barton's latest animal fans.Past wildlife audiences included elephants living in special protected areas.Barton hopes to raise awareness of the monkey's hunger.At the same time,he hopes to study their behavior as they react to classical music. 语篇解读：本文为一篇新闻报道。为缓解新冠肺炎疫情期间猴子无人供食、情绪不良等 问题，英国音乐家Paul Barton为一群野生猴子弹奏钢琴。 1.Why did the musician play the piano to the wild monkeys?
