The Music Master

Anton Von Barwig stops the Leipsic Philharmonic in mid-rehearsal—and lets his musicians go, the day before they are to perform his new symphony. Outside, distracted by thoughts of his wife and another man, he blurts out a question that frightens even his devoted friend Poons: “Where am I going?”

In the musical heart of Leipsic, Anton is a celebrated conductor, a composer on the eve of a premiere, and a man whose private life has suddenly become unbearable. His attention strays from the score to the uncertainty surrounding Elene, his wife, and a rival he can scarcely think about without imagining violence. Poons wants to help, but what does he know—and what will Anton discover when he reaches the home he once shared with Elene?
