In 1939 Goebbels, Nazi Germany's propaganda minister, ordered that the note A be tuned to 440 hertz instead of 432, and the mystique around that decree drives this novel's plot into the present. In a few hours of a single night, a gifted young musician writes a work that will outlive him, and from then on good and evil fight over it. The book can be read as a dystopia, as a poem in prose or as an aesthetic crime story about whether art can survive.
