Vienna at the turn of the century: salons and coffee houses, the Prater's green alleys, a city that fills its concert halls and consulting rooms with brilliant Jewish men and, in the same breath, lets them know they will never quite belong. Georg von Wergenthin, an aristocrat and a gifted composer who never quite composes, drifts into love with Anna, a girl from a lower drawer of the middle class, and drifts, just as gently, back out.
George von Wergenthin sat at table quite alone to-day.
The blurb, the gist, the why of the day and the work itself are in the app. The first button needs it on this device; the second gets it there.
