Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Story of a Genius: From the German
The world found that a little odd. The artists thought it a great joke.
It is November fifth, the day on which the first rehearsal of Satan is to be held, under the composer's own direction.
In the concert hall of the Grand Harmonie the performers are already assembled. In honor of the distinguished guest half a dozen more gas jets are burning than is usual at rehearsals, yet the large hall with its dark auditorium and the dim flickering light on its stage, has a desolate, ghostly air. A smell of gas, dust and moist cloth pervades the atmosphere.
