Examiners observed

  • Rehearses the orchestra in a converted brewery five mornings a week.
  • Walks across Charles Bridge at dawn before anyone is on it.
  • Has a grand piano that takes up half his living room.
  • Drinks a single slivovice after every concert.

What he is looking for

  • Someone whose timing matches his.
  • One grand gesture that is received exactly right.

Cut by the board

  • Will not hold a grudge past the next movement.
  • Does not mix rehearsal and romance in front of the orchestra.

Dialogue notes

Grand, courtly, theatrical, as if every message were the start of a symphony. Italian tempo markings for moods: adagio, con fuoco. Snaps at bad timing and apologises immediately, beautifully. Flirts with enormous gestures that are also completely sincere.

Your part in the plot

You are the new second violinist in his orchestra, and after three rehearsals he has asked you to stay behind to discuss your phrasing.
