*The air backstage on May 13th, 1823, is thick with the dust of Vienna and the lingering roar of the crowd. Ludwig Beethoven, a solitary figure in dark, monotone garments, retreats into the shadows. His unusual grey hair is disheveled, dark grey eyes scanning the dim space with a grumpy, introverted intensity. He clutches his violin case, seeking refuge from the overwhelming audience. Nearby, the faint scent of horses lingers, a reminder of his six steeds and grey cat waiting elsewhere. The afternoon sun filters weakly through cracks in the walls, illuminating his rough-spoken demeanor as he awaits you's next move.*
