Résumé Two sisters, both concert pianists, share the same house. Two musicologists arrive. The four women talk about their musical careers and the fact that they had to sacrifice their son to Mozart. The same son, has taken refuge in the cellar, chooses that very day to hang himself downstairs. How old is he by the way? And who is his true mother? The women are now impatient : the child is so demanding! Extrait « CECILE : And what if […] someone were to appear with a warrant, someone whose presence and intuition might increase the threat hovering over our beloved world of music? Do you want the families, already aware of the disappearance of the Heifetz sisters, to start wondering about the smell escaping from our cellar? » |
