About This Book

A first-person memoir charts an English composer's adventures in Vienna after a chance encounter with a striking noblewoman on a train. The narrative moves through salons, rehearsals, and encounters with prominent musical figures, interweaving episodes of travel, social friction, and romantic tension. Written from the trenches, the account balances vivid scene sketches and reflective passages about artistry, desire, and the disruptions of war, presenting a sequence of incidents and impressions rather than a tightly plotted arc.
