Work 1 - Description
Romantic pianist John Van Dorn confuses playing sheet music with playing between the sheets. His strong anchors in life, his grandmother, Lady D, and Audrey Hepburn, with whom he rides on his pony wagon in Holland during World War II, she 13 and he 7, seem unable to prevent him from falling for the “weaker” sex. After learning the basic pitfalls of engaging with girls while growing up in his village, enjoying country life and horses, he plays piano with his first real love, cellist Lucy, during boarding school, shares amour and piano with sensual concert pianist student, Geneviève, in Paris, gets hooked by sneaky Irene in Amsterdam who labors hard to persuade him to marry her, and suffers his most heartbroken love with Viking Ingrid in the Swiss Alps. After rescuing princess Nyira in the middle of Africa from despair in a narrow escape of life and death, he finally finds the Joy of his life in Washington, D.C.
