Synopsis

"I'm here on Monday. There's a question of personal and rhythmic exigence. There's no superstition, no old habit of singing. I'll always prefer the end of the week to make this part of my oeuvre." Laszlo Dumas: pianist de renom, mais longtemps dit sans génie, sans ardeur, sans ce petit rien qui fait la force des grandes. Just today is half the time to make fine voluntary mistakes, and to see what he is here, at the top of the concert hall, the reps. Immediately, they are devient meilleur et petit à petit, the critiques agree to make him a new virtuoso. These crimes remain in the shadows. More than once I met a woman, Lorraine, here she also croit-il, remarque her mistakes… A novel constructed as a sonata en contrepoint, intermingling with the voices of Laszlo, Lorraine and their sons Arthur. A fascinating meditation on the solitude of the purist, with elegant suspense and assured writing.
