SYNOPSIS:

Descending Thirds by Nicole Conn

Set against the passionate and emotional backdrop of classical music from 1944-1975, Descending Thirds follows the story of pianist Alexandra Von Triessen and the two brothers, Sebastian and Conrad D'Antonio, whose lives she enters and forever changes. Even readers unfamiliar with this musical world will be drawn in by the depth of understanding and emotion revealed in this tangled love triangle.

It is a story about the artist versus the industry. About man's music versus "man-made" music, integrity versus compromise. About the twisted paths of destruction that lead to a life of exultation, however illusory.

It is a story of literal and lyrical seduction, an examination of a soul touched by a divine gift, and the descending nature of human limitation. A resurrection of Apollo versus Dionysus, of two brothers who possess quite different talents. One, a prodigy whose gift is limited by his inaccessibility; the other, a fiery performer, whose flawed humanity exposes the best and worst of man.

Alexandra lies at the center of these two extremes, her desire for one brother nearly destroyed by her need for the other.

With the amazing popularity of “Maestro” (Bradley Cooper) Descending Thirds has been adapted for a Nine-Part Miniseries.
