Description: |
The organmaster in Leipzig's leading church has played his last fugue, expiring, face down, on the keyboard. At the news, seven scheming musicians from all across Germany dash madly to town to vie for Europe's most coveted musical post, while Johann Sebastian Bach lays low. In and out the musicians dart, powdered wigs askew, vest buttons popping, their plots as intricate as their fugues. Betrayals, bribes and blackmail offer endless plot possibilities, and Moses takes advantage of them all in this sophisticated farcical treat. |
