First sentence: A school student animatedly describes the music college where she hopes to spend the next three years of her life; a man holds his head in his hands as he recalls the humiliating descent of a critical part of his costume on stage the night before; a group of composers who first met two days previously engage in heated debate about the direction their electroacoustic piece should take; and over interval drinks in a crowded foyer, members of an audience share memories of the vast chamber music repertoire they have heard together during the preceding twenty years.
