Frank Delage, piano manufacturer from Sydney, travels to Vienna, a city immersed in music, to present the Delage concert grand. He hopes to impress with its technical precision, its improvement on the old pianos of Europe.
How could he not know his piano is all wrong for Vienna? Perhaps he should have tried Berlin. But a chance meeting with Amalia von Schalla brings new possibilities for Delage-connections, a meeting with her daughter Elisabeth, and dinner with an avant garde composer.
Now travelling home, on a container ship, with Elisabeth, Frank Delage can begin to tell the real story.
