A Cruel Tale by VILLIERS DE L'ISLE-ADAM translated by ROBERT BALDICK

A ' new ' music has been invented and the orchestra is assembled excitedly for rehearsal. Suddenly, the conductor discovers that one of the instruments for which the work has been scored is an ancient Chinese
Pavilion, now obsolete. Surely, the performance of this important new work will not have to be cancelled.
