An old German music master, poor and long unheard, sits up through a summer night writing the most beautiful thing he will ever compose, because of what has passed between two people in a garden. Fyodor Lavretsky has come home to his family estate to farm and to be quiet, after his wife's betrayal in Paris left him hollow.
