s/B0C3MTHRMB/The-Music-of-Erich-Zann Due to lack
of funds, a student studying metaphysics abroad
is forced to take up lodging in a cheap apartment
building on a street named the Rue d'Auseil. The
street is not far from his university and is
bordered by a river, dark warehouses and a large
wall, giving the street an appearance of being on
a cliff. The student cannot see what lies on the
other side of the wall, as only a single window
on the top floor of his building looks over it.
Along with the building's disabled landlord,
Blandot, one of the few other tenants is an old
German man named Erich Zann. The old man is mute
and plays the viola with a local theater
orchestra. He lives alone on the top floor and at
night he plays strange melodies the student has
never heard before. Despite Zann's reclusiveness,
Blandot reveals his identity to the student, who
approaches him in the hallway one evening and
asks if he can listen to Zann's music. Zann
relents and allows the student to enter his room.
He plays for the student some of his unique
melodies but not the same as the student had
previously heard. The student asks him if he
could play his music from the previous nights,
awkwardly humming and whistling the notes he
remembered. Zann is taken aback by the request
and nervously glances at the window in his room,
covered by curtains. The student recognizes the
window as the only one that can oversee the wall
at the end of the mysterious street. He
approaches it to look outside but Zann angrily
pulls him back. The student is fed up with Zann's
eccentricities but Zann explains through writing
that he is simply a lonely old man, and suffers
from numerous phobias and nervous disorders. He
is pleased that the student likes his music, but
refuses to play the particular tunes that the
student asked for. He persuades the student to
move to a lower floor in the apartment as he
would prefer the student not listen to them. The
student sympathizes with Zann and agrees to move.
Zann promises that he will invite the student to
his room to hear his other music. After the
student moves, however, Zann returns to his
antisocial behavior and his health deteriorates,
eventually not letting the student listen at all.
The student's curiosity to hear the secret music
and look out the window grows, and he begins
eavesdropping on Zann while he plays at night.
His melodies have an unearthly sound, and the
student praises Zann as a musical genius. One
night while secretly listening outside Zann's
room, the student hears a commotion and the old
man scream inside. When the student bangs at the
door, Zann lets him in and asks him to wait while
he writes, promising to
