Life in the (fictional) Orchestra of London as seen through the eyes of several musicians, as well as the conductor, a member of the orchestra’s board, and various friends and relations. Perfectly representing the disparate attitudes, feelings and ambitions of a symphony orchestra, it brilliantly weaves together affairs, musical jealousies, a misdirected love letter, and an unusual codicil to a will. “This portrayal of the psychosexual duet between men and women, and of the music-making process in a symphony orchestra, sings with lyrical intensity and eloquent feeling” (Publishers Weekly)
