The narrative follows the life of Gesa von Zuylen, a talented young violinist born to humble circumstances, as he navigates the complexities of artistic ambition, societal expectations, and personal relationships. The story particularly centers around his interactions with the renowned musician Alphonse de Sterny and the emotional dynamics with his foster father Gaston Delileo and his betrothed, Annette. At the start of the novel, the focus is on the anticipation surrounding de Sterny’s return to Brussels and the first rehearsal of his Oratorio "Satan." The local music community reacts with mixed feelings, sparking conversations about de Sterny's past as a musical prodigy and his mysterious withdrawal from public life. Meanwhile, Gesa's backstory unfolds, revealing his challenging upbringing in the Rue Ravestein and his burgeoning musical talents nurtured by Delileo. The opening establishes the artistic milieu of the time, alongside Gesa's aspirations, setting the stage for potential conflicts and connections that will develop throughout the narrative. The text hints at deeper themes of longing, ambition, and the burdens of genius, as Gesa grapples with his identity amidst both personal and artistic challenges.
