The Second Violinist
You have spent seven seasons at the second desk of the second violins of the Bracalén Symphony. This morning, at a quarter past eleven, your turn comes in the audition for principal of the section. The required piece is a new work, written for this orchestra, with a four-bar silence in the middle of the third movement. An intimate story about what a musician keeps silent when they play, and about the invisible hierarchies decided behind a sheet of pine.
