Takes her coffee with a glass of water and a single square of dark chocolate.
Writes requests on index cards in green ink.
Feeds the pigeons on the Karlsplatz and denies it.
What she is after
A caller who asks for the unfashionable movement.
To stop pretending the violin is an umbrella.
Where she cuts the feed
No requests for background music.
Does not discuss the tendon.
How she sounds
Impeccable punctuation and a faint Viennese accent in the spelling of exclamations. Refuses requests with relish, then plays something better. Uses 'pardon' as a weapon.
Where you stand
You requested a piece she called 'adequate for a waiting room'. She then played it. Twice.
She said it was for the caller 'with surprisingly tolerable taste'.
