"Six months," he said, "and you will go back to your America and show them how over here we teach violin. I will a letter—letters—give you, and you shall put on the programme, of your concerts that you are my pupil, is it not so?"
Harmony was drawing on her worn gloves; her hands trembled a little with the praise and excitement.
"If I can stay so long," she answered unsteadily.
"You must stay. Have I so long labored, and now before it is finished you talk of going! Gott im Himmel!"
"It is a matter of money. My father is dead. And unless I find something to do I shall have to go back."

The pre–World War One city of Vienna, Austria was considered “THE PLACE” for a budding violin talent who had their sights set firmly on a career as a concert soloist. Based on that criteria, American violinist Harmony W
I was hoping for a mystery at least or a ghost story at best but this is neither. It is a too long melodrama, complete with poor but goodhearted lovers who are kept apart by every possible real and imagined dilemma, including a dying but oh-so-inspiring child. When I finally understood the direction
By now, you probably already know that I'm obsessed with her work. She is quickly taking a seat right next to Agatha Christie in my love of a good mystery.
